install linux
cant even afford and save up for a new psu, i only afford used psus
most generic answer there is lmao, and no lol
It's not generic it'll solve the problem
yeah for sure, that's like saying buying a escooter while having a car to drive to a different city
??? I don't think you know much about Linux/your info is outdated
Linux isn't hard to use anymore
It's friendlier than windows
i'm not about it being hard to use or whatever you're throwing at, i just don't prefer it 
tried it?
Yeah, is it windows related?
is what windows related?
you throwing the casual "install linux" over a post lmao
ah seems like you're one of the people waffling about linux and so on whereever it's possible, got it π
no I'm not
I provide help to those who ask for it, if you don't like my help that's too fuckin bad and you'll have to wait for someone else
haha sure lmao
is the 5800XT pulling 130 watts normal, cuz like on amd website said default TDP is 105 watts
Also I don't even think that you asked for help so you could've ignored what I said
Damn, docker really is faster if you throw more ram at it. Still takes 20 minutes to build
you can read my message history if you'd like, I only bring up Linux if it's relevant to a persons help request
like if it solves one of the many issues that come along with Windows
yeah which is what i was about, the usual install linux waffle, not even having inch of a thought regading windows, not completely just woosh past it, but as ya said i didn't really ask, just discovered it myself 
oh no I know things about windows and I have enough experience about both to know that Linux is better a vast majority of the time
clearly you don't like Linux and that's ok
I know the ins and outs of both
linux should be the default unless you need windows features specifically like active directory
i don't, but you seem target people there without even using your "experience" to give few kinds lmao
or other build deps
most issues on windows can't easily be fixed because windows is shit
kay
I just write most of my shit in golang because you get near c perf with a super small binary
and use containers
glad we agree
debating whether windows or linux is better is completely pointless
i mean i didn't say it's good, so i'm glad that logical answer satisfied you lmao
does anybody think i spent my money well on my pc?
first expense $450:
prebuilt with r5 5600g, 16gb 2133mhz ddr4, crappy chinese b550 matx mobo, crappy 512gb nvme ssd, chinese case, chinese fans, chinese cpu cooler, crappy 500w nonmodular psu
second expense free:
free 750w corsair cx750m (christmas gift)
third expense $80:
silicon power 2tb a58 sata ssd
fourth expense $500:
asus rx7800xt dual fan oc
final expense $230:
refurbish seagate exos x16 14tb 7200rpm hdd
result: $1,260 pc with a r5 5600g, rx 7800xt, 16gb ddr4, 16.5 tb of storage and is a beast in 1440p
oh no I was just intentionally misinterpreting your words to piss you off
haha i'd say that too tbf
π€
fwiw tho I do see a lot of support threads with people complaining about shit windows does
well sounds you already have it, so if you're satisfied then you're all good

Someone have any nice recommendations for keyboard when I want a track pad or some other mouse option built in, I also want it to be light weight and a bonus if it is wireless
Maybe something similar to this but a bit smaller:
Does not have to be trackpad, can be trackpad / pointing stick
at home I got a UHK80 but I don't wanna carry that to the office
I like the trackpoint module on my uhk 80 at leat.
https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/product/trackpoint
The trackpoint module attaches to the right keyboard half, and it surely brings back fond memories for those of you who have previously owned an IBM ThinkPad laptop. The two buttons are fully configurable, and the trackpoint itself cannot be pressed as a button. Pointer movement versus scrolling can be configured on a per-layer basis.
16tb damnnnnn
It needs to work with mac as well
then id look at the thinkpad trackpoint keyboard II, its wireless and pretty slim
not sure if it works with mac, but id imagine it would
hmm seems to be hard to find with Swedish layout
ah its probably only in english id imagine
Really high cpu usage just from using opera, casual fb marketplace browsing and a youtube stream on the second monitor.
maybe just one with a trackpad will be the way to go
I have a R7 5700x3d, this isn't normal, right?
restart ur browser
probably from youtube and extensions
Logitech Keys To Go / Logitech MX Keys / Keychron K1 / Logitech K380s / Apple Magic Keyboard if price is not a factor? π€
Average opera moment use firefox
Or yea 8k YouTube lmfao
:D
i thought firefox is also hated now lol
firefox my beloved
im surprised no one has tried a diy macbook with a mac mini
or at least i havent seen that
honestly i'm using opera gx only for the dark mode, and now all of my data is saved there it's hard to switch, but i think it's time
Firefox flavours arent bound by the same terms if I remember correctly
where to? Chorme or Firefox?
I recommend Firefox but chrome is better than opera lol
they changed their privacy policy to be kind of fucked up.
every browser has a dark mode?
but forks of firefox are available.
Doesn't apply to flavours I believe
Just use ablaze floorp
In glad its only partnering with ablaze not a subsidiary ablaze floorp
....;.i have no idea what the fuck you're talking about
zen browser is cool but i think its slow af
I use zen browser on my hyprland
π€
anyone have experience with the nothingphone 3a? i think thats what its called
Creating a Portable Mac Mini setup!

My favorite tools of 2022 breakdown - https://youtu.be/AYy8RFcN_ds
FULL LIST of the tools I use here: https://syj-links.we...
I daily it and it freezes VERY often and is quite slow to do stuff, split screen is nice tho
Not a laptop for factor
eh second one sort of is i would say
Like the PCBs crammed into a chasis
Yeah fair enough
You would need to decode the MacBook screen to hdmi which is practically impossible
yeah i saw this but thats small af
in my eyes it gets half the points
its portable, small, has ok preformance i assoume but is missing a keyboard
ye i just like the themes or whatever they're called
Scott yu Jan is missing board level skills lol
Yeah the theme is why I use it
i feel like it'd be pretty bulky tho
Also floorp barely works with fuzzel that's why I swapped in the first place
When launching it opens
ya i just searched up lightweight browser and saw floorp or something idk
Lmao
Floorp is amazing
And workspace switching is pristine
I can't say the same for zen
zen for some reason doesn't feel smooth at all compared to like floorp or especially edge
idk wat that is
It doesn't work with my keybinds where space is present
Yeah lol
my frame rate dips just scrolling a google webpage
Work -> personal
So close
It's a beta browser yeah but it's horrible sometimes
so like what chrome has profiles or wtv
Bro got a decent camera!!
Yeah but switches with a keybind to different tabs and logins yeah
I have 2 lamps shining through the top glass
Oh lmfaoo
thats awesome
Also the white plays a lot better with the ISO
Very useful for locking in yes
fuck yanwen
clearly the naming sense has left me by.
i dont even use chrome i just use that profile on the left for school stuff lmao
My 3d printer is on my desk so yeah
seems like developers are just typing randomly to name their apps;.
derp
Yeah it's a amazing for occasional switching as it completely unloads the other profiles
Also the prints usually look fine, it's the build plate that looks like it's covered in spaghetti on the camera
Floorp keeps the invisible/hidden workspace tabs in memory

Mines on the floor in the spare room
I got 32gb so not a worry and it only uses like 6000mb with around 150 tabs
Slows down my PC a lot tho (13600k ππ)

Why not just use eyes to watch then?
I am enjoying the weather on my porch
That's what windows tells me sooo
Fair enough
lmao
And I don't want to be in the same room as the printer
It's loud and smells of plastic
what are u even printing
Don't you have an enclosure ππ
My roommate bought an overwatch gun model
Bro forgot the point of HEPA filters
Bro the P1S is loud af
True
It's using whatever filter it shipped with also the rest of the enclosure isn't Mercedes grade air sealing
I hate printing when im sleeping and it's 20 mins off
I have to close my eyes and enjoy 20 minutes of noise
Yeah that's why I keep mine in a different room
Mercedes really did pull a class act in Monaco π
What happened
Yeah I move it around sometimes
P11 P12 or something like that
I thought Monaco had no overtaking
Both Mercedes crashed in q2
Lmao
Yeah it's difficult, the back was entertaining with like 3 crashes
The front was the same order for like the whole race
How's Haas doing these days
Terrible
10 place penalty for bearman because he broke red flag limits
Im a new williams supporter lol
And lance stroll 2025
I don't follow F1 at all
Also I wanted charles legreg to get pole
But ig lando broke the Monaco track record sooo
Legreg is his Christian name
No πππ
any ideas if this is enough for a decent plex server?
i5-4278U
8gb DDR3 @ 1333mhz
500gb nvme ssd
A few days ago I complained in this chat about not being able to replicate a somewhat frequent crash I've been experiencing so I could record it.
Now that I don't need to record it anymore guess who's back
For 1-2 1080p or less streams maybe
But idk, that's not a lot of compute
Or storage
say it would only every be one stream at a time, only personal use really
Certainly not "decent"
storage is easily upgradable tbh
a pretty big difference
@plain cypress how search
Hey discord, what is todays sponsor
@swift moss my drink coaster has more storage than my phone π
What would y'all say is the best gaming CPU in the 65w category? Doesn't have to be current gen.
Brother wants me to build him a PC but doesn't have a huge budget.
ryzen 9 9900x3d
ryzen 5 7600x3d prob
Hoping to keep cpu spend under $250
ah ok
His budget is like $600 and that's with me giving him an old case I have
GPU will likely be a 3050 or 6600 XT
alr
I would choose the rtx 3050 at least if I was choosing
He wants to get into VR so the real challenge is finding an affordable motherboard with a front panel USBC connector
does he want to play with the cable in or js download some mods
I don't need that much performance and nvidia has cuda
?
r7 9800x3d
that would be a bad choice tbh
Idk but the case I'm giving him has a front USBC so
Why
6600xt has way more performance
AMD vs Nvidia only really matters in non-gaming workloads these days
What if I don't need it
cuda only matter really with video editing
Video processing and AI
Because it can be had for almost the same price as a 3050 and the better performance future proofs the system a bit?
is your case Matx or ATX
Does it do as good for tasks and compatibility
I was thinking more like CAD stuff, for instance Blender has much faster Nvidia performance since it doesn't yet support AMDs version of Optix
can we just take a moment to appreciate the guy in the EU govt that has a huge hateboner for apple
Itx. 245mm max gpu length.
I already have the case and he has a limited budget so giving him my old case means more availabe to spend on performance bits.
alright
with itx theres not really usb type c but theres one on the IO
very nice
for this you'd want a 3060 then instead, the 12gb vram matters way more so
the fuck you on about
oopies
There are ITX boards with the connector you just have to look for them. I just found this Asrock B560 board with one
And my current build has one too
skill issue
i so badly wanna get some 2.5 gig stuff so i cna use all my 2.5 networking stuff
but ofc
china
is good
How can I crash my PC
no
no
the floater
Does this make me win in it
no it causes a blue screen
Then why does it say I win in it
Fuck you
no u
Should I overclock my GPU or isn't it worthe the hassle ?
No u
Probably not
xd
how can i stress test my pc
<@&750150305383186585> send the guy who sent some bullshit about wanting to buy a aged github account then deleted it straight to hell for what looks to be breaking ToS since ya know aged account
wants to spread malware
i dono stress testing it, run 3D mark
it cost money
furmark
windows protected my pc did i download the right 1?
im talking abt furmark
occt, cinebench, linpack xtreme, tm5 with pcbdestroyer config
that is free to get
do not get that
why?
30 hr print success
o yeah i fully forgot i can just upload my own for all these years

whats va
va panel
what does it do
The type of panel tech. Others types are Ips, OLED, etc
sooo va is the worst in led?
im like
no, TN is
whyd he say ew va then π
oled so expensive for what
βNot the worstβ is still bad
how and why
sooo i should invest a little more for ips then?
it looks and performs damn good
OLED is the best display experience you can buy right now
burn in πΏοΈ
most people don't get burn in
burn in doesnt happen anymore
its not a galaxy s2
oled is pretty good now yeah
itβll still degrade but itβs gotten a lot better at lasting awhile, thatβs what the o stands for
no the o stands for oreo
oreo led would go hard
oreo light emitting diode
I <3 OLED
is this a good monitor then?
Unless you try to force it over tens of thousands of hours but yeah https://youtu.be/E2FpG6M037E?si=BfNjdGMgLevhWJxZ

A quick update on the OLED Nintendo Switch and OLED Steam Deck Burn-In tests. Should probably check those batteries too...
...
most good oled monitors have pixel shift no?
how much is Β£
there's not really any reviews but for ~160 usd i'd assume it's fine
its 160 dollars buut stufff is more expensive here
most 180hz ones here are 150 and 144 ones start at 100
is viewsonic a good brand though
they've been making monitors a long time
This is the best moniter i can find for Β£200 I lit cant find anything better for this price ( Its VA)
i see
res?
1440p
oh
at almost double the price
for 200 gdp can get smth way better
like wht
there was an curved monitor ips 240hz 1440p for 210 gpd
but thatsin egypt
prices differ
whats it called
there's a couple 1440p 240hz on pc part picker for 230
no clue if they're better panels or not though
thats 30 quid difference
i dont remember, i didnt save cuz im not spending allat on a monitor
im spending so much on fans cuz i need reverse ones
i have a question, is the 7700xt better or rtx 4070? theyre both around the same here
the 4070 is the better of the 2
ha
thats much more expensive than 4070 here
7800xt has 16gb vram
as much as a 4070ti super
so does 4070 π
nope
4070 and 7700xt both have 12
huh
4070 has 12gb vram
ohhhh
is 12gb gonna be enough for ffutureproofing for like
3 years
prob yh
sounds good then
it's a guess as much as anything but like
i dont play triple A games
i highly doubt you're gonna see games only target 1% of the market
yeahhh
i use my 4070 at 1440 and i've yet to really run into any vram issues in the newer stuff, monster hunter gave me some trouble but the game port is borderline broken anyhow
future proofing doesn't exist, but 12gb vram can do alot
Guys my pc ain't working, the DRAM led is on, it was fine before I shut it yesterday before sleeping
I also updated my bios yesterday and turned on expo
Oh
. Az
its official i will be starting a youtube channel all about tech
bsffr
first things first is just setting up shit

im not too money hungry buuuuut it would be nice to get some more tech
ππ
and maybe try and get some more space
"im not too money hungry"
cap
bro i need storage in my room
me too
i now need to get myself a lav mic or something and a camera
any recs on how to mount a camera
books
cheap tripod
why do u have a go fund me thing in your bio
Plan is to record here, might move the speaker and screen
Wow you really have no clue what it is
ko-fi
what does kofi sound like when you say it
exactly
co fund me
wat
to get tips
its not a reason if i helped someone instead of spending 100$ on some guy to tell em they cant do shit over me spending 3hrs with em to fix the issue aint worth a 5$ tip really now
and with that money i just bought this
buy me a 5090 founders edition pls π
no
get your money up not your funny up
dam
i have a 2 port version of this
woah man no slurs
i have no need for it, would be fun to setup a lag but meh
fucking thief

china fucking sucks
fuck china
for realz
nor do i, but, 3Gigabit network due to link aggregation
much easier when it comes to cpu swaps, system rebuilds
I love my ram
corsair ha
correct
g.skill better
π© ram tbh
wtf are they trying to say??? π
I need tech support, if anyone can help out.
what ram do u have
π
crucial ballistix's
shit also
how
overkill ram
rate my build https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/cMsYzP
Part List - AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D, Radeon RX 9070 XT, HYTE Y70 ATX Mid Tower
No
yeah
what did u need help with
essentially a lot of my function keys dont want to work. for example my mic (f4) and camera (f8). and i cannot turn on my camera or mic without clicking on the function keys
aint asking yo bean head ass
you have the ram running at ddr5 3600 due to how ddr5 works, so it won't be running at xmp speeds
I didnβt do anything?
What keyboard layout do u have
I do too and havenβt ever got that glitch
yeah
oy that was a 2.5 gig card
i have
horrible 6 core X3D
for way more then the price of a 8 core one
its 12 core noobie
how many of em are X3D
omg pleas do not tell me you are this dumb
lol rip
tf there are no places that say it, anyways only one of the CCDs on the 9900X3D has that X3D part
k
no, it's a 6c 12t x3d with a 7600 added to it
unless you are on zen 6 already you will not see a 12 core ccd on the consumer space
welp i should have gone to sleep a while ago
that or epyc/threadripper
help
thats not my acc build i js made that up smh
consumer space
jumpscare scary
this is the acc build i want https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/WZtVRV
Part List - AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, Radeon RX 7800 XT, Montech AIR 100 LITE MicroATX Mid Tower
overall a 1/10, bad build
thx
welp i will be going now
does anyone know?
why are you buying white cabes for a white psu
You don't understand how AMD works in that regard =p
AMD splits their cores into two smaller subsections, in the 9900X3D case having two; only one of which actually has 3D VCache applied to it, causing it to be worse in performance than a 9800X3D =p
idk
the monitor comes with a DP cable
ight cool brodie
doesnt say it does
1700$ build and budget headphones
idk
I mean that's fine, most people can't notice the difference between decent $50 headphones and $300 headphones =p
is the attack sabrk r5 good
what website is that on
do you like holed mices
it didnt say on amazon#
the ones who make the monitor?
what mice
ok
isn't r5 holed
theres nothing that pisses me off except people who say the world is getting its color back
what
are people just unable to use google or something
o well i really do need to go and sleep now
buy co fund me
when Iβm that small percentage that notices. Why me lol.
colour*
gn vro
which one is which
it's not real english
aluminum is goofy
π

Anyone know if Luke is still having issues with his laptop locking him out? I had a similiar issue at work today and figured it out (Lenovo specific issue and it looks like he's using a higher end Lenovo laptop on the most recent WAN show)
i mean the more expensive headphones also usually have better bq, and the sound can indeed be differentiated by most
question is if it's worth to those individuals
btw for gaming personally i would buy hd681, swap the pads and do kitchen tower paper mod instead of the nova 1
one of my favourite headphones under 100
you can get them for 20, 5 for velour pads, and spend like 5 for different brands of paper towels and find one that dampens the treble enough
or one that suits you
xx5612
can also use them without the mod but it's basicly a dt 990 se, so someone including me can go deaf from them
Good point. Day to day atm prob not. Though in the future maybe if I really am gonna continue doing audio work full time.
Time will tell just rotating what I do in film a lot atm.
anyone know if windows 10 has like a "scan yourself and sort out your issues" command?
sfc /scannow
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
but really hit and miss on efficacy
chkdsk sometimes helps too..
do i just bring up a command line and hit that?
cmd as admin yeah, 2 separate commands though
command line or powershell both work
command prompt
ur a command prompt
depends on cost....but I'm not a gamer
no, not in any day and age
there we go thatβs 1 person
No probs not
Thank god heβs not getting it
i wouldnt get it even when it was released
I put him on a used 6700xt
After I told him no to the 3050 he sent me an itx 4GB 6500 π
brilliant idea thx ffor saving me money
different psu im looking at but u reminded me
please help
maybe get good idk boss
not abt that abt the monitor issue
language bro
wdym
stop fucking saying fuck its not nice!!!
so were on mary jane
i have a 7800 x3d and a 2070 super currently. wanting to upgrade my gpu later this year what should i get?
Idk, see if you can snag a deal on a 7900 XT or xtx maybe
i want nvidia
Fuck it, ball out and get a 5090
112
If you say so ππ£π₯
113
what about a 5070
I've not really followed PC hardware that closely for the past couple years, but even if the GPU market wasn't in the toilet rn, general opinion seems to be none of the 5000 series cards are a good value
Will Linus do a video on NTLITE for a more advanced Windows install and the cris Titus tool
5070ti is the only decent option
Anyone know why a NVMe drive would be stuck in x1 PCIe mode?
Does anyone know how to stop windows from being snapped down in windows 11? I'm trying to hide the top of this application but it keeps snapping it back down. This wasn't an issue in windows 10 and it's driving me insane
imagine i just unplugged the usb
unplug the computer
its doing this now
monitor dies out of cringe
Anyone know a cheap laptop that I can purchase? Need it for editing 4k footage...Thought this chat might be appropiate to ask
@thin garden new cpu in the next week fs, just getting another i5 14600k, or is there another cpu for the same price thatβs better?
so picture is your focus, i would look at oled books
unsure how relevant vivobooks oleds are still probably not but they had one of the cheapest oled books
like $400 for oled that had decent'ish color accuracy
I just started vlogging and I have a solo roadtrip coming up soon and really need something while I sadly leave my pc rig at home π . I will take a look at the viviobook
Im buying another gpu
Is there a better cpu than a i5 14600k for the price?
Anyone here happen to know why my hard drive is like 2/3 of the speed in Windows as it is on Linux?
Ignore the dip before, I was doing other things.
I'm wondering why I only get 149 - 169 MB/s write speed in Windows, compared to the ~250 MB/s write speed in Linux (which is what the drive is rated for).
windows sucks
sounds like a shitty answer but itβs true
windows just handles reads/writes worse than most linux distros
What's a good cheap phone
nothing phone
something someone from latin America could afford
or like, different filesystems
both should be ntfs
windows = ntfs
linux = ext4
its not the hardware..
like, I literally just said what it was
also, that's not drivers, that's device info
you can see the drivers that each one uses, but that application is literally listing out the device components in your system. Either physical or virtual
Can a potentially maybe maybe-not fried gpu take my mobo out with it if i try to test whether it works in my mobo?
for pure hardware check chinese brands
generally, no
i did bust the screen hitting my brother with it so
unless you manage to fuck it badly enough to send 12v into the pcie lane
(would require some S-tier luck in physical damage)
google pixels look rad
Why would the windows transfer be faster?
I'm guessing this is a mechanical drive
and that the product says "up to" 250mb/s
hdds should have no issue doing 250 mb/s
It's a mechanical drive, you're lucky to get 180mb/s
windows uses pagefile on hdds by default and generally heavy on background utilization
what do you think swap is on linux??
I was getting 256 MB/s or so on Linux.
rpm, file type, sector size, etc
For 10+ hours sustained, moving over 8 TB of data.
From a single drive? doubt
raid? yes
also hdd "optimization" hasn't been a thing since winxp.
My bad, it was 236 MB sustained, it did speed up to 250 MB/s at times, though.
whats the target storage setup, whats the network interface, whats the host storage like
no god don't fuck with hdd optimizers
It was just 1 18 TB WD Gold to another.
aren't golds dual-actuator?
isn't 236 mb close to gigabit speed
gigabit is like 110MB/s
right
like if it's dual actuator I can see that kinda speed esp if it's just drive to drive
Alr ty!
I'm, not sure. What I am going to do after the 8 hours or so after this transfer is transfer files from my NVMes to absolutely make sure there's no restrictions.
There is a point where your HDD will just not go any faster
just googled, yeah golds have 2 independant r/w arms
For the 18TB? I know the new 20TB through 26TB drives have some upgrades.
no, I'm telling you to not fuck with them because they will most likely ruin your filesystem. There is no point on physically moving data to the outer rings of a hard drive anymore. It hasn't been a thing in 15 years. Hard drives have gotten past the the point of having to do that for performance.
Don't use speccy, don't use ccleaner, don't use registry cleaners, don't use anything that says it's going to optimize your drives/network/operating system/drivers
^^ At best you are stressing your drives for no reason
"improve speed" for hard drives?? Just get a fuckin' ssd for a boot disk and leave it at that ffs
no, its not even a last resort
Update: Windows just is slow sometimes, I guess. Seems to be picking up now after writing for a while.
it shouldn't be used, ever
Haha, yeah.
Hey Iβm currently building my pc and my psu came with 2 8 pin power connectors for the cpu but my board only takes 1 8 pin and 1 4 pin, what should I do? Should I plug in one with half the pins hanging out?
like I'm sorry if I come off a bit bitchy with this but I'm just trying to make sure you understand that there is genuinely no point in using any "optimization" software like that. It's all super predatory and 9/10 times it's just bloatware
Yup.
To you, yeah. Does your PSU have a 4+4 pin cable and one 8-pin cable?
just plug in the one 8 pin, the 4 pin extra is for super-srs overclocking things (which you'll probably never get around to)
No 4+4 pin, only 2 8 pins
send pic?
there is absolutely no danger in just using one 8 pin eps cable
Wait nvm I think I can split the 8 in half
Make sure they're EPS cables and not PCI power cables.
my progesterone kicked in and it makes me go all mom mode lmao
Itβs a Msi mag a850gl
zentimings does not work on FX chips π
noooooo, really??
ποΈ
Does the manual say those split?
It's okay to plug it in like I did if that's the case.
it does split, you can see from the latch & how it's literally split in half, also the locking notch on the back of the connector
Ye, I saw the two tabs, but wasn't 100% certain.
Ay, nice.
I've just fucked w/ these cables for years on years at this point
Ah, gotcha.
This might be a dumb question, but why don't we use 2 8-pin EPS connectors for GPUs instead of 12VHPWR?
I'm sure there's some logical reason that has to do with keying & extensive history w/ having two seperate 8-pin systems
12vhpwr was kinda made to be like, a single "smart" cable solution for powering pcie stuff
because we were getting up to like, 4x 8 pins for a bit there
From my perspective, 2 (or even 3) PCI power connectors works, so I don't see why 2 EPS wouldn't.
pcie is 4x ground, one sense, and 3x +12v
oh two sense, my b
yeah and 12vhpwr has 4 different sense pins
Yeah, just seems weird to use a connector that melts instead of an already existing one.
that's not at fault of the connector.
I feel safer drawing 600W through 2 8-pins than I do through 1 16-pin.
That's at fault of the standard not demanding the usage of load balancing across all of the v+ pins
and nvidia being absolutely fucking stupid and not doing load balancing with the 50 series,
To be fair, IIRC 8-pin can safely draw all 150W through any single power wire, whereas 12VHPWR needs 4 out of the 6 to safely draw 600W.
I'm just waiting for the day that we move to fucking 48v for eps/pcie power
240V PC, lesgo.
the loudest cpu ever in that case
I think this also means it's theoretically safer to draw 600W through 2 8-pins than through 1 16-pin.
Which is why I feel safer doing it, lol.
I'd ask copilot but i cba
Copilot would probably just say "The connector's rated for 150W, therefore you can only pull 150W through it."
ah shite right I was gonna attempt SteamOS 3.7 on the FX-8350 + HD7970 rig
Cleaner if you use an aftermarket connector, ye.
Ay, that's neat.
I found that if you ask copilot things in a more natural form of conversation I get more verbose results
i kinda like that tbh
I remember asking ChatGPT which VBIOS to flash onto my GPU and it was like: "Have you tried safer methods, like shunt modding?"
if you're short with an ai, it'll be short with you
FX can't boot off of NVMe without a shimloader, but That Won't Stop Me!
linux, please just enumerate all SATA drives as if they were NVMe
Speaking of Linux, what's your guys' recommendations for an Arch-based distro using a KDE Plasma DE?
bazzite π
Nah man, Holo ISO ftw.
oooh okay that too
Had a few people mention CachyOS and EndeavorOS.
Should i return my 5070ti i purchased at msrp to wait for the 5080 super coming out with 24gb of vram?
no
well if you wanna pick it up at launch? sure
that is considering if you can even get one at launch lmao
going to be more expensive than the normal 5080 rn
and unless u play 4k and do alot of AI the +8gb is useless
I am upgrading from a 2080 super so i don't need the greatest. I just heard its coming out soon
Is 5070 ti a decent uplift from the 2080 super
Ill be using a 360hz 1440p qd oled monitor
yes
yes alot
dear god
my FX-8350 is single-core bottlenecked when extracting a zip
at a whole... 12MB/s
dang, I'm starting to think this chip isn't very good. huh.
at least it has 46 PCIe lanes
I'm pretty sure, yeah - lstopo says they are all at the hub, and I don't see any PXI chips on the MB
I am somewhat suspicious, though
considering the fx chips have no integrated pcie controller..
and its literally all chipset lanes..
wait WHAT
YEAH lmao
ah
I'm on a 990FX - it has 32 lanes for the GPUs, and 10 extra lanes for the I/O
I will definitely be slapping my RX6600 in this thing
in Crossfire with the HD7970 (it will not work)
interesting, libreoffice handles powerpoint files better than powerpoint itself
My poor i7 7700 is gonna be transcoding video files for the next 6 months straight.
What π
Even I don't have a media library large enough to take 1 day per movie and 185 movies
Very often not the case
Because I don't have just 4k movies, some are 1080p as well
It's transcoding 1530 files.
steamOS is starting to boot on the FX-8350 π₯ some GPU errors tho
Movies? That's a lot lol
Nah, just gameplay recordings.
Jeez obs transcodes way quicker
hell yeah, I use my i5-7500 for trans coding
Don't use ffmpeg or anything, OBS wrapper is the best
Already transcoded 1000 earlier this year, and there's probably another 2000 more for it to do after this.
I'm compressing them and converting to AV1, not just remuxing.

AV1 damn
Turned 14.5 TB of footage into 2.7 TB.
Super slow on old cards
Doing it on CPU, ye.
H265 would suffice ngl πππ₯
Some CPUs do it well with acceleration
Nah, AV1 is like 2 or 3x more efficient, and when I have that much data, I need it to be efficient, lol.
Also make sure to record in av1 or h265 next time lol
Not entirely true ngl
I record in AV1 now, ye, but before I wouldn't.
I see
2000 files though damn
When I first started recording gameplay footage 5 years ago, I recorded in nearly-lossless, making the video files about 1 GB per minute.
Maybe more cost efficient to just get a used 40 series card and get it over and done with
Lol
Yeah, but that means I'd have to support Nvidia.
Arc b580 then ig
Plus, CPU rendering gives you higher quality.
Not entirely true just different qualities
Now, my recordings that are in AV1 are about 1 GB per hour.
Also they are super diminishing in comparison
I'd be pressed to display a difference between quicksync and nvenc (slow)
can a nhd15 outperform a 240 aio?
Not any modern ones.
Depends how you set it up honestly
3 fans
3 X 80?
3x 140
Or the nhd15
Yeah I'd argue it's a little bit better
Probably way cheaper to just get the AIO though imho
I forgor that mapping actual network drives was a thing
I have an nhd15 and I like it
so i should br able to handle a 13900k
On my 3950X at least, there's a massive difference between NVENC slowest and CPU fast. NVENC can't slow down to CPU speeds to match quality.
Albeit oriented into the ceiling lol
I'd honestly get a 360 for a 13900K.
yea, i found mine for 40$
Default clock and max load it can handle with 3 fans and laid out correctly
If you already have a D15, I'd use it, but if you were buying new, I'd buy a 360mm AIO.
Yeah this probably
Like an arctic will most likely outperform the nhd15 lol but its also like the same price
im replacing my current aio
Which AIO do you have and why are you replacing it?
i dont like the idea of liquid in my pc
Get a d15 for a super long warranty and to be old school and cool
corsair h170i
Why not more budget options?
Custom loops look nice :D
we are not calling the nhd15 old school now, what
i bought my d15 for 40$
used
or is it an open box idk
Oh bruh, that's newer than mine even. I've been running an H150i in my PC for 5 years now.
All the thermalright shills driving this masterpiece to extinction, and tbf they ain't wrong lol it's overpriced in a way
And I have an H100i in my other PC for about 6 years.
Not bad
i still use a 13 years old h55 on my 2nd pc
D:<
Yeah, I don't think you have to worry about water in your PC. There's a million and one things that need to go wrong in order for anything catastrophic to happen.
one drop on the gpu and its over
Nope.
its black too
One drop on the GPU in a spot that it doesn't happen to have a backplate nor any short safety systems (which is unlikely in most modern cards), and you'll probably end up with a system that shut itself off.
what if its on the pcie slot
But in order for the AIO to even leak, it would have to either eat through the fittings, or corrode the oil ring around the coldplate, and do so in such a way that it pushes the material out of the way and seeps past.
some coolermaster aio leaked after 2 weeks
Coolermaster also has power supplies that explode, so are you going to avoid putting a power supply in your system?
probably will if its from coolermaster
Exactly, CM isn't entirely known for their quality.
plus i run my pc 24/7 so an aircooler should be more reliable
The point being, if you've been running your 120mm Corsair AIO for 13 years without issue, there's a good chance that your 360mm will last just as long.
hey chat, will this 2022 RX6600 work in Crossfire with my 2012 HD7970 in my FX-8350 system? I'm an AMD fan btw
i ve seen lots of post of the h170 dying
You'll never see someone complain on Reddit about a part that never failed.
How old is that?
im also changing the case so the 420mm wouldnt fit
Ah, it's 420mm, right. Forgot that 150 is 360 and 170 is 420.
yea
82c fullload on the 13900k if im correct
That's not bad. What pump speed?
2700
I think that's max?
Ah, I've replaced my Corsair fans for Noctua ones. I put IPPC 3000 140s on the rad instead of the ML120s.
I put two of my ML120s on my GPU.
i should get lower temps if i replace my fans
wait, these are ll140s so only 1350 rpm
Would depend if you're at steady state. You might see slightly better noise-normalized thermals, but if you put faster fans on, you'll definitely see better brute-force thermals.
yea these fans are kinda poopy
Ye.
Wah, my 8250U is struggling.
And I am struggling to type on this awful keyboard layout.
There we go, I finally have a decent keyboard again, lol.
Those RAM heatsinks are great.

Got it mb
Hello?

yup
Where
overreacting
i did that too the first time because i didnt bother looking at the link
every pc has a bottleneck somewhere. Your fundamental understanding of the concept is flawed.
why do you have 2 3060ti's
I have two
Also yeah two 3060Tiβs and the prices are terrible
Yea i know
for what reason though
Ill buy it off of jawa
sli is long gone
you could sell both of them and get something 3080 or faster easily
No like i meant i have two as in i was not supposed to have two
I should have one
Are you in the US
Yes
yeah those prices are insane
Yea
Sorry this is random as hell but Im just so happy with this lil unit
903 max?
prolly not
Gtx 1080ti build in 2025 is doing me great
Huh?
case
Yea 10 series is still great
Nada phanteks
Meh case
I love it tbh

I dont play AAA games so Im as happy as can be considering I got this 1080ti for $50 2 months ish ago

I have 1660 super rn
Im not sure how im supposed to feel about this
I got this msi z790 gaming wifi for $80 including 1 500gb samsung gen 3 nvme and a 1080ti for $50
I think I did pretty good
Not bad what did you buy off
1080ti off marketplace and z790 off jawa
Ok nice
I5 14600k off amazon and case off walmart.com
Ram and AIO off amazon also
Superflower modular 850w from micro center on sale
14600K
1080ti
lmfao what
Plans to upgrade, 1080ti I had for my previous build
I have a friend who has a 13600K and a 1060 6GB.
Ima do the same lol
They've been waiting for the GPU market to get good.
It ainβt gonna
tell em to swallow their pride lmao
Im thinking either 9070xt or 7800xt
Theres a good abount of gous on jawa rn
Well, they can't afford anything otherwise.
Someone buy my 7900XTX lmao
I have a 7900xtx saved in my cart but idk if thats overkill or not for the 1440 180hz I usually do
How mich
They're hoping on getting a 9060 XT 16GB if it releases close to MSRP.
I need to know
errrrr $800 shipped lmao
Bruh
US?
mhm
Well shit I want that bad but I dont have that on hand rn
type shit
Idk if thats overkill for what I do or not tho, also is it the xfx?
Well you build a high quality pc you wont have any money on hand
idt these prices are gonna go back to 40 series anytime soon bcs of AI
Nah, Asrock 7900XTX Taichi
White
Ill definitely pass then haha, seems solid but wont fit my build at all
yawn
Not including the no money I have
I just side-graded to a 5070Ti so
technically upgrade
I dont like the 50 series
For me yeah
u finally get a good raytracing and upscaking experience
how would you know lmfao
I got to test some of the card
5070ti has the best value rn
Ok but can anyone tell me if its overkill to pair a 7900xtx with a I5 14600k on a 850w psu
