[sinful cobalt]

no

[lethal bay]

nah

[random gyro]

More power

[empty quartz]

Not overkill

[barren breach]

Not gonna be cpu bound?

[trim gyro]

depends on the program

[sinful cobalt]

850w psu perfectly fine, 14600k is plenty powerful

[lethal bay]

Maybe at 1080p

[random gyro]

More power mean more upgrading

[barren breach]

Ok glad to hear cause I also was thinking 7800xt or 9070xt

[lethal bay]

If you don’t care about Nvidia features and better RT, the 9070XT is a good buy

[trim gyro]

here I am praying 9070 xt drops back to $600

[barren breach]

I really dont, I dont use it for AAA games really

I just like high fps 1440

[lethal bay]

There’s still some models available for about $700

[barren breach]

The most demanding game I play is bodycam

Or DCS

[sinful cobalt]

i need my readily available fsr4 implementation brooooooo

[lethal bay]

FSR 4 is in like 9 games lmao

[barren breach]

And bodycam runs great at 1440 on this 1080ti tbh

[sinful cobalt]

i shouldve gotten the fucking 5070ti yesterday

https://tenor.com/view/edgerunners-cyberpsychosis-sandevistan-cyberpunk-gif-27165868

[barren breach]

Like 70-90fps

[lethal bay]

unplayable

[barren breach]

I came from xbox, dont be too mean

Im using this PC for rocket league as we speak

[lethal bay]

rocket league runs on a carrot so

[sinful cobalt]

aka cpu bound game

[barren breach]

I am very well aware considering I got 80fps on a I5 6600

With no gpu I should add

[sinful cobalt]

buy myself a shitty zotac solid 5090 and pee on mac’s 5070ti

[barren breach]

Someone run 2s on RL rn

Be lame af

[lethal bay]

RL will simply be a game I will always be terrible at

[barren breach]

What’s terrible cause im pretty awful as well

Im currently Diamond 2 Div 3

[sinful cobalt]

i dont understand the controls and mechanics at all lmao

[barren breach]

Also is it worth overclocking this I5 14600k? I just have it set to default with the latest bios update on this MSI Z790 cause I dont want it to kill itself

[latent pasture]

probably not

[sinful cobalt]

no

[barren breach]

Idk how to overclock but I wanted to learn till I found out about all these 13 + 14 gen trying to die

[sinful cobalt]

you dont overclock for gains unless ur cpu doesnt do well enough or you’re chasing records

or its just for funs and giggles

[lethal bay]

cpu overclocking for daily use is basically dead

Undervolting is meta

[sinful cobalt]

^

[barren breach]

Well idk how to do any of it, the only thing I did was set a default profile for my ram cause it was not set to its default stuff

That sounds dumb

[lethal bay]

If anything you should learn ram tuning

arguably the most beneficial form of overclocking nowadays

[barren breach]

Its 6000 cl30 and it was set to like 4000 default

[sinful cobalt]

ram tuning is pretty useless for someone like me, running pure X3D cores

[barren breach]

Ok big dawg

[lethal bay]

nope. Will still benefit 1% lows

[barren breach]

Lol

[sinful cobalt]

mac would have more gains memory tuning his 7700 over me tuning the 9800x3d

[sinful cobalt]

Im not sure how I’d wanna go about learning ram tuning

unless u wanna guide me lmfao

[barren breach]

My 1% lows are 2000fps

[lethal bay]

It’s relatively simple just time consuming lol

[barren breach]

I have a RTX 9090Ti

[sinful cobalt]

in still studying man I dont have as much time as u lmao

[lethal bay]

Shit I might have a few hours a week to even use my system lmao

[trim gyro]

just tweak RFC and REFI from stock/XMP for instant gains 💪

[sinful cobalt]

I have like 10 games I wnna play since Nov last year

[lethal bay]

basically this

[sinful cobalt]

instead i was working my ass off and thinking about hardware releases LOL

[lethal bay]

you can skip like 90% of the work by tuning tRFC and tREFI lmao

[hoary tree]

Damn, the non pro pixel 10 is getting a massive downgrade

[lethal bay]

Android yawn

[sinful cobalt]

i hope my 9800x3d imc isnt shit

ill try soon maybe

[latent pasture]

just buy a new $80 phone every year smh

[lethal bay]

You can probably do 6200 I’m sure

[sinful cobalt]

i have typical bin you have essentially a godbin

CL30 vs 26

[lethal bay]

What?

That really has nothing to do with it lol

[trim gyro]

wait when did this go from imc to memory die quality

[lethal bay]

My 7700x’s IMC is super dogshit

which is why I’m doing 2:1 stuff

I do basically have the best A die kit you can get tho

[sinful cobalt]

rly?

[lethal bay]

mhm

[solar violet]

Can I make my laptop into monitor for my main PC?

[sinful cobalt]

what should I be aiming for then

[lethal bay]

It really just depends being able to do 6400 1:1 is considered a good bin

[trim gyro]

6400 is what I'd try

[lethal bay]

6200 1:1 is average

[sinful cobalt]

kay can u explain what the ratio means

ion fully understand it

[lethal bay]

https://youtu.be/Xcn_nvWGj7U?si=sYIhz1EPtcUYs6QH long ass video but great info on how AM5 ram works

[trim gyro]

ratio of memory controller frequency (on cpu) to dram frequency (on memory)

[sinful cobalt]

ill watch after my exam

[harsh whale]

Why would anyone buy this?

[trim gyro]

because it looks cool

[lethal bay]

do you not have one?

[solid crown]

[hidden hill]

ngl i think i may have "fixed" my issues with booting

i disabled fast boot, and now its booted first try 2x in a row

im getting it replaced or fixed at best buy regardless but its nice to know i can get it turned back on 🙂

[formal sonnet]

The same reason people buy Rolex watches, Mercedes-AMG G 63 6x6 vehicles, or mega mansions: 💸

[minor cove]

Yup status symbol aka have more money than know what to do with

[limpid dune]

significant stability issues when my HD7970 crosses 85C

it's almost like that's the TjMax

[hollow jungle]

Is this good?

[limpid dune]

bro casually posted a 12GB/s drive "is this good" 😭 bro your disk is faster than every disk I have COMBINED

your SSD is faster than DDR3

[hollow jungle]

😮

My Random Write was looking a little low, not sure why

Not sure if it matters

or how good 1 million IOPS are?

[lethal bay]

You would never notice if those values were halved in the real world anyway lmao

[fresh escarp]

eh not bad

[ornate summit]

any av recommendation?

[tidal geyser]

Windows

And a brain

[ornate summit]

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[lethal bay]

critical thinking

[ornate summit]

?

[lethal bay]

you’re done.

[compact spear]

We are so back

[fresh escarp]

back in darkness?

[compact spear]

Back in fedora after suffering windows 11

[junior valve]

normal for gpus back then

[tulip sparrow]

I have EndeavourOS installed on a lenovo yoga myself

[tidal geyser]

Nice

[limpid dune]

I'm a big fan of the old radeon thing where you can just turn off the fan and the GPU will say "OK" and obliterate itself

it got up to 98C before some override was hit and it triggered the fan

[compact spear]

Oh nice

[compact spear]

Which model?

[compact spear]

98?

That’s odd

[tidal geyser]

DO NOT use hwmonitor

[tidal geyser]

Use hwinfo in sensor mode

Also make sure the fan is spinning om that gpu

[compact spear]

That’s cute

There is no fan I took it off

[tidal geyser]

Wa why

[compact spear]

Because I wanted to make a passive cooling solution

And then the passive heatsink fell off

[tidal geyser]

Not working well I see

[compact spear]

And now there is no cooling at all

It peaks at around 117

[strange atlas]

Today they are coming to install the 1000 mbit internet 😮

16 mbit internet to 1000mbit its gonna be soooo good

[thin dust]

I have a question about PCIe lanes. So I have a 9800x3D and a X870E MB. I have a 5070ti and three nvme drives (A 980 & two 970s). Will I be able to use them all at full speed? For clarification the 980 is PCIe gen 4 and the 970s are gen 3

[tidal geyser]

yes but it would not have mattered anyways

[tidal geyser]

is everything already bought

[cosmic stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/monsters-vs-aliens-bob-funny-shocked-shook-gif-4861342645729883333

[ebon marlin]

Unc is late

[ornate wind]

is it normal for my usb drive to show up under "This PC" and as its own option in file explorer and will it still work as normal

[thin dust]

Yeah, I’ve had the drives for a while but they were in two separate computers. Now I’m building my nigh dream pc and I wanted to combine all of the drive space

[tidal geyser]

i mean the other part

[thin dust]

Oh yes the MB and CPU are already purchased

[tidal geyser]

ok

https://tenor.com/view/black-cat-walking-cat-walk-glamour-glamorous-gif-606557101916811110

i am cat

[tidal geyser]

i am cat

[rigid fjord]

if you're in file explorer already yes, yes and yes again

[rigid fjord]

the only way you're going to use them at full speed is file transfers, 3d rendering, video edit transfers or coding, you won't even see half the speed if used for gaming

[tidal geyser]

i do not understand why people spend so much on a motherboard then cheap out on the gpu

[rigid fjord]

also you could have gotten a b650/b850 and still be able to have all 3 drives installed on it

[tidal geyser]

b650 eagle ax

160$

yes yes i know you have gigabyte

[rigid fjord]

many think getting a flagship mobo = best choice for everything

[tidal geyser]

yeeaa

mo money mo better

[young crest]

You should spend $1100 on an msi godlike actually

[tidal geyser]

its not

the only reason to go for a higher end board on amd is for memory OC

[rigid fjord]

when they realise that there's only 1 or 2 things extra on the flagship that tbh with wifi itself you could easily add on a 'B' sku board

[rigid fjord]

nope, i'd still sooner pay £135 for an asus rog strix board

[tidal geyser]

you can just replace the wifi chip on the cheapest board with a wifi m.2 slot with wifi 7 card

[young crest]

I just went with the 220 usd on a aorus b850 wifi 7 board

[tidal geyser]

could have just gotten dis and slapped dis on it

[peak knot]

me when ive known this pic for a long time lol

[young crest]

n o

go bed now goodbye

[rigid fjord]

yes

[cosmic stratus]

Ofc

[peak knot]

i see these news articles and im like "thats news???"

[sinful cobalt]

its my rule!

[cosmic stratus]

Cant believe they're so late tho

[peak knot]

yeah its more like they just leaked the 5090 pcb

ive known of the 5090 pcb since december roughly

im in groups where secret nvidia items like this are posted commonly, we just dont share it from there

[cosmic stratus]

So this would be more relevant if we were still speculating the rtx 5090 before release

[peak knot]

more like this was a shot down design from one manufacturer as a possible 5090 card

[cosmic stratus]

Ohh yea thats right

[cosmic stratus]

Interesting

[peak knot]

unfortunately when the 4090 (and now 5090) PCBs were leaked the company that made these cards fired a whole design team

as these were extremely NDA and were never suppossed to see the light of day

nvidia was pissed as hell as an understatement

hell nvidia was pissed when der8auer released a video recently on a card that shouldnt exists, he forgot to scrub all the identifiable information in the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDoRXn2GOCw

[sinful cobalt]

titan ada fr

[peak knot]

this one in particular

yeah roman paid 5 figures for that card lol

whats funny is the skit at the intro to the video is more accurate than most people think lol

[strange atlas]

WTF is this a moment ago i was using 16 mbit internet agahagahagaha

[frosty oriole]

Update 2: Windows just actually kinda sucks.

[tidal geyser]

Wait what ssd

[frosty oriole]

One operation is going from a Samsung 870 QVO 4TB to a WD Gold 18TB and the other is going from a Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB to a WD Black 6TB.

Once the other transfer finishes, this one speeds back up, despite the fact that they were on entirely separate drives.

Windows. ☕

[tidal geyser]

At some point just make a nas

[frosty oriole]

I'm moving all the files to one drive so I can then move them to my storage PC.

Just making sure I have everything and there's no duplicates.

Also, I needed to clear some space.

[tidal geyser]

Make a nas and put urbackup on it

[tidal geyser]

Tf are they filled up with

[frosty oriole]

Videos.

[tidal geyser]

What videos and why not nuke em

[frosty oriole]

A lot of personal reasons.

They're just gameplay videos for the most part.

[tidal geyser]

O well, I would recommend transcoding em and ofc reducing the bitrate and such

[shy saffron]

Noctua nt h1 for 7600x on an aio?

[tidal geyser]

Overkill

[tidal geyser]

And still maks a nas

[tidal geyser]

The aio comes with thermal paste but if possible just go air cooled

[frosty oriole]

Ye, I move them to my storage PC and from there transcode and compress them to AV1.

[shy saffron]

I mean now i got that very thermal paste with an aio

[frosty oriole]

AV1 will turn 14.5TB into about 2.7TB.

[tidal geyser]

Just use what came with ig

[shy saffron]

And my temps aren't going over 70

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[rigid fjord]

neither, an a620 pro se

[shy saffron]

Had a ag620 and temps were skyrocketing

[rigid fjord]

different cooler, different brand

[tidal geyser]

FYI its meant to be 95c

[shy saffron]

But with games stuttering with those temps

[tidal geyser]

What was the power use

[rigid fjord]

also this, 7000 series was designed to be able to run at 95c 24/7/365(366)

[shy saffron]

120-130

Now I'm chaining 115 watts at 5.3 ghz OC

Did get better

[tidal geyser]

Soo pbo was on with the air cooler but not with the liquid

[shy saffron]

Yes

With liquid im using ryzen master profiles

[tidal geyser]

O DEAR LORD

uninstall that crap before it nukes your pc

[shy saffron]

Okayyy

I was unable to oc from bios

As in the clock speed was uneditable

And the pc feels and games run stable

[tidal geyser]

You should not change the clock speed

You use pbo with amd

[shy saffron]

Then what to change

I mean I did turn down voltage to 1.2 from 1.35

Which kept Heat on the low

[tidal geyser]

Its meant to boost to 95c

[shy saffron]

But the high temps got me in game stutters

[abstract wigeon]

you sure its the temps?

[shy saffron]

Seemed like.

With an voltage offset and a manual increase via ryzen master my fps increase about 30% across my whole library

Bear in mind that the 7600x is paired with a 7900 gre

Also outside temperature goes above 45 degrees in india during summer

[abstract wigeon]

your 7600x is hitting 95c?

[rigid fjord]

that wasn't temps causing it, there's a different boosting algorithm on am5 cpu's than there was with am4 cpu's

[shy saffron]

Only on cinebench tests - recent test i got a score of 14.6k

[abstract wigeon]

i mean in games

cinebench is meant to stress you to the max

[tidal geyser]

xd

[latent pasture]

debatable

[tidal geyser]

it is

[peak knot]

dude on my x670e classified with my es 7600x i can gravity mount a tower cooler and my 7600x wont overheat

it makes like no heat

[shy saffron]

Nope. Cpu running like a chiller - seen 70 degrees max on cyberpunk

[tidal geyser]

yup its so fun just doing that with different cpus

[abstract wigeon]

so whats the issue again? its not overheating

[shy saffron]

Felt as if ag620 was inadequate- now second guessing getting a liquid cooler

[rigid fjord]

linpack xtreme puts more stress on a cpu than cinebench could be

[tidal geyser]

no reason to care ya already got it

[latent pasture]

whats ur ram

[abstract wigeon]

nah ur fine for temps

[shy saffron]

My brain now goes like I have easy headway to a better cpu 2 years in

[peak knot]

old pic of me gravity mounting a stock amd cooler

[latent pasture]

based ram stik

naked green board

[shy saffron]

Another question: has anybody gone from an aio to a air cooler?

[tidal geyser]

my fav way to do it, a lot of the time i do not have any thermal paste but some times it at least gets some old air exposed stuff that was already on the cooler

[tidal geyser]

yeah the people who had a broken AIO

[shy saffron]

Overclocking didnt seem as easy on an air one

[latent pasture]

why

[abstract wigeon]

its not binary aio good air cooler bad

[shy saffron]

Either my bios settings were hellish and now I'm just learning the practical use case

[abstract wigeon]

you wont notice any difference in performance from a good tower cooler to an overkill aio

performance i mean like fps, of course temps could be different

[shy saffron]

But i somehow am - like the performance with an oc on an aio is like heaven

[abstract wigeon]

so you have an aio?

[latent pasture]

bc u overclocked duh

[shy saffron]

Now yes

[latent pasture]

stock theres no difference

[shy saffron]

Soo an aio just gives headroom to oc?

[latent pasture]

yes

[rigid fjord]

even a good air cooler gives headroom

[shy saffron]

So in short
budget build - air
Premium build - aio

[shy saffron]

I mean I had a 6700k with a 360 mm aio before which I flipped for the 7600x rig

[tidal geyser]

premium build - air

[shy saffron]

That was my first rig

[sinful cobalt]

PHANTOM SPIRIT RAHH

[shy saffron]

Where do aios sit then for being more expensive

[tidal geyser]

nowhere anymore

[peak knot]

nah true premium build is LN2

[latent pasture]

only for aesthetic purposes at this point

[tidal geyser]

only reason to get em is for looks

[tidal geyser]

god tier - LN2

[peak knot]

use liquid air for cooling

[sinful cobalt]

AIOs have gotten relatively cheap, the expensive ones be doing shit like screen display and stuff

Unless u get some thick 420mm rad and slap better fans on it

[peak knot]

should be getting cheaper soon also, asutek just lost their patent on their pump patents

[shy saffron]

So that means getting a 360 mm aio in my case was a chill move in terms of wanting to upgrade 2-3 years in by just getting a new cpu?

[latent pasture]

lolno they will just pocket the diff, ppl were already buying at the old prices anyway

[shy saffron]

Also how long should one use an older psu? As in recycling in a new build

[latent pasture]

it takes companies like thermalright who explictly state that yes they accept bad profit just to get market share

[tidal geyser]

unless it dies before then something that is very normal

[peak knot]

at 10 years a psu should be replaced

[rigid fjord]

nope, both air, both aio, and for those who are blind to the costs til they get a bank reminder, custom loops

[shy saffron]

2016 cooler master vanguard v850 still running

[sinful cobalt]

Until warranty expires assuming its like A tier

[shy saffron]

Powered a 6700k and 980 ti before

Also given there has been a ups on the back 24/7

[peak knot]

should replace it soon, its not like it will stop working per se but the components are aging and it may fail in a catastrophic way that can damage other components

[rigid fjord]

tbf, there's those who have their own pumps that differ from asetek and are cheaper still

[shy saffron]

So in that case the certification is of no value? 80+ gold

[tidal geyser]

no

psu quality list https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/htmlview?pli=1

[rigid fjord]

efficiency ratings does not mean good quality psu's

[peak knot]

yeah.. thats an efficiency certification not a inherent quality certification

[tidal geyser]

its also a bad efficiency certification

[sinful cobalt]

thats the efficiency rating, not quality

[shy saffron]

Where to refer to cross check quality?

[sinful cobalt]

you can have a platinum unit and it may be a E tier bomb or smth

[rigid fjord]

for example
corsair cx750f, bronze rated, tier B psu

gigabyte p750gm, gold rated, tier F psu

[sinful cobalt]

spl psu tier list on google

its on google excel

[tidal geyser]

OMG ARE YOU BLIND

[latent pasture]

look at whatever store ur buying in
filter by watts
sort by cheapest
check which one is at least A in the list

[sinful cobalt]

sim crashing out

[rigid fjord]

[latent pasture]

if its a copy then it doesnt get updated

i assume

[peak knot]

you shouldnt use components past 10 years cause thats the age most capacitors and such are rated and your unit will not be under warranty and has a risk of destroying tyour components should the unit fail in a way that it fries your motherboard/cpu/gpu/ram/ect...

[tidal geyser]

ngl i could not give less of a shit about dat

[rigid fjord]

it's the same bloody list, just a different way of linking it via different viewing as the /htmlview?pli=1 part causes a minor freeze on browsers while it loads up, the link i sent is direct reading access

[latent pasture]

ngek the bookmark i have for it already doesnt have that

[rigid fjord]

when you do an initial side by side

[latent pasture]

isnt html view faster since it just loads basic text and no trying to edit etc etc

[junior valve]

d15 arrived

[rigid fjord]

also /htmlview?pli=1 keeps sending you back to the first page all the time

[shy saffron]

I found the sheet but cant find my current psu

[rigid fjord]

with the way i linked it, i can stay on the main list page with all the units

[latent pasture]

cuz its old
old stuff is automatically classed as bad bc its old

[shy saffron]

All above are post 2018 - my build was of April 2016

[rigid fjord]

means your one is deemed tier F due to age and topology changes on the pcb

[shy saffron]

Ooh

Means im quite fue for a change

Due*

[shy saffron]

Would this be a good OC for the 7900 gre?

Would appreciate inputs - been playing around with adrenalin for like the past 20 minutes

[tidal geyser]

Its not gonna do anything

[tidal geyser]

Wanna do anything max the power out

But in the end maybe gain like 2-3% more performance

[shy saffron]

been reading that AMD GPUs and CPUs are getting better performance with lower voltage and increase clock speeds really

[true stirrup]

Do benchmarks crash if you increase the frequency by like 10?

[shy saffron]

also what was observed on Daniel Owen's videos

[shy saffron]

vram clock speed?

max frequency is already maxed rn

[true stirrup]

Yes I see the bar is at about the middle

[shy saffron]

got it to 2660

my pc did crash when i set it above 2800+. being moderate on the vram

temps again not crossing 70 degrees

[true stirrup]

There is a big gap between 2660 and 2800+

[shy saffron]

Crash at 2750

[true stirrup]

2700?

[shy saffron]

Checking

Restarting rn

My guess is 2660 was stable. Did a Furmark test too

[true stirrup]

Max out the power limit as well

[shy saffron]

The doubt of being on an old psu makes me a bit nervous on wanting to touch that

I mean voltage is lowered means lower power draw

?

Nope, pc crashed

No more power = extra oomph

[hollow creek]

POWER REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

brb gonna test the shit out of this

[shy saffron]

From what I learn - lower voltage and increase clock speeds yields results

I crashed my rig again 💀

From being at stable to playing with the thing again

[tidal geyser]

his windows is so fucked

[hollow creek]

it does

i will just 300w this out just for fun

[shy saffron]

Im so sticking to stock settings on the gpu rn 💀

With just fast timings on

I crashed again even after lowered clock speeds

[tidal geyser]

yes

and ips

[tight lion]

Whats a good Dell OptiPlex that I can get for under 140$ online

[tidal geyser]

its a dell optiplex you can get for 140$ online

i would look for anything 8th gen or smn

[strange atlas]

Man i have downloaded f1 in 3 minutes how good is fiber connection what the hell

[tight lion]

There is plenty out there for the price I just need to find one with good specs

[tidal geyser]

yeah go do so

[boreal vine]

Should I buy am5 contact plates now by default 😭

[tight lion]

I don't think I'm going to be able to find a 8th gen for that price

[boreal vine]

I'm so annoyed on how thermal paste gets stuck on there

[tidal geyser]

no

[tidal geyser]

o well good luck

[tidal geyser]

just get PTM and do not worry about it forever if you got air

[shy saffron]

Stable OC achieved 💪

Not a big OC but got lower temps

[boreal vine]

PTM is shit for socketed CPUs

[tidal geyser]

its not worse then paste

[boreal vine]

doesn't perform any better than paste and costs significantly more

[tidal geyser]

5$ and lasts like 10-20 years

[boreal vine]

I'd only use it on office PCs but not on client PCs

[tidal geyser]

office computers with am5 sockets?

[shy saffron]

Im 7 degrees cooler from stock on the 7900 gre

[boreal vine]

chances are I'd have to take that CPU out at some point, or they would, PTM is unfriendly for beginners

[boreal vine]

no, socketted CPUs in general

but also yeah, there are AM5 socket office PCs

[true stirrup]

I am running my GPU at 140% power limit

[tidal geyser]

eh 8500g and such is a thing

[boreal vine]

yeah, and can you guess what socket they're on....

believe it or not am5

PTM is a horrible buy for socketed CPUs, they're better used on direct die applications

[tidal geyser]

anyways just keep the normal socket, installing a different ILM is just risky with no major reward

[boreal vine]

makes my life easier lmao

[tidal geyser]

yes i know but no real need to change it

[boreal vine]

it's only like 5$ here

[tidal geyser]

but you need it for every pc and you do not repaste the computer every day

[boreal vine]

fuck these little crevices

could also just get a shim tbh

[tidal geyser]

yea that is ok

[fierce raven]

any help

[devout oxide]

Chat, is 200 enough to get a good keyboard

Idk I just saw something in peripherals that said it was the worst in the series

So how much should I save

#peripherals message

[gleaming rose]

more than enough

https://www.monsgeek.com/product-category/m-series/

[devout oxide]

What’s the difference between expensive ones and non?

Any thing noticeable?

[true stirrup]

Cool idea for the buttons being placed in a line of the right side
Might steal that idea for my own keyboard lol

[gleaming rose]

well it depends but I think you'll be pretty happy with the one I sent

[devout oxide]

You didn’t send a singular one

You mean anything I can afford there is good?

[gleaming rose]

pick one, the m1 is great

just depends on the size you want

[devout oxide]

Is it just a back plate?

Do you want me to buy switches too

Is that another rabbit hole

[gleaming rose]

no if you'd check the pages some of them include the switches

[devout oxide]

I did

[gleaming rose]

I feel like a lot of these questions could be avoided by actually looking at what I sent

[devout oxide]

I wasn’t sure if they were the same though

So like m1 v5 is the m1 but with switches Thu

[junior valve]

which one is airflow and which is static pressure?

[steel umbra]

left left left left

right is meh

[devout oxide]

I think I meant keycaps btw

I’m not super familiar in keyboards mb

[boreal vine]

left is airflow right is static pressure

[boreal vine]

yes, 200 good

what keyboard size are you after?

[devout oxide]

75

[boreal vine]

oh neat, there's quite alot of cheap boards in that FF tbh

Ak820 series from Ajazz

[devout oxide]

FF?

[boreal vine]

form factor

[devout oxide]

Btw I’m kind of tech but not super so I’d like the option to mod it but that not be forced

If that’s reasonable, otherwise I’m always up to try new things

[boreal vine]

Personally? my recommendation if you've got money is rk81

[devout oxide]

Rk81? I had a gk61 for eveeeer lmao isn’t that like it’s baby baby brother

[boreal vine]

If you want something more premium go for https://divinikey.com/products/shortcut-studio-bridge75-keyboard

[devout oxide]

Does the RK have better software support? I feel like my keyboard kinda died

[boreal vine]

it's aight

it's cheap decent gasket mount

[devout oxide]

English?

[boreal vine]

your budget is like 200$ right?

[devout oxide]

Yes

It’d be nice to not blow through it entirely but I’m willing to go up

[boreal vine]

I'd say?

[devout oxide]

Yk I don’t want to spend 100 bucks on keycaps just that kind of waste

[boreal vine]

personally rainy 75

[devout oxide]

That’s hot

[boreal vine]

comes in a shit ton of colours

[devout oxide]

Ok thank you

[boreal vine]

also, are you familiar with a webapp called Via?

[devout oxide]

I’ll do some independent research on these and come back

No but I saw it mentioned in the M series website

Why, is this and advertising?

[boreal vine]

VIA is a webapp that allows you to change key bindings

[devout oxide]

Wdym don’t keyboards have independent software for that

[boreal vine]

it's a community project, it's good if a board is compatible with it

[devout oxide]

Like macros?

[boreal vine]

they can, but via is better

[devout oxide]

Or rather shortcuts

[boreal vine]

everything, RGB, macros etc

[devout oxide]

Better than native is hard to belive

Does it support Gk61, cause the native software is ass cheeks

[boreal vine]

trust me, it is lmao it's one of the criterias for boards I buy now, they have to be via compatible atleast

[boreal vine]

I think so?

[devout oxide]

Also do you think those coil cords are worth it

[boreal vine]

v2 i think

@devout oxide https://www.usevia.app/ check with this

[vale hare]

i got a ROG Rig Reboot question, when will the winners be picked?

[devout oxide]

I mean my gk, I shit on it but I spent 60 bucks on it and had it for like 4-5 years so honestly it was a good purchase

[boreal vine]

personal choice, I used to like them but I don't like them now

[devout oxide]

Do you think they help with cable stress?

[boreal vine]

nah not really

[devout oxide]

Oh

[boreal vine]

all of these boards are via compatible

I thought about going with Evangelion Ape but thought that was rudew so went wit that

[green summit]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0oDZeZa5xU&ab_channel=NikTek

amd, what the hell

they did almost the same nvidia

man and i wanted to upgrade from my 3060 12 GB to higher one, i guess that will fall now

[neat flame]

550$ card going for 1000$ when converted

how does this have 5 star reviews bro

[green summit]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-gif-18890916

amd was supposed to be the saviour

i guess its up to intel now

to finally change this graphic card monopoly game

[neat flame]

yes

[plush wren]

lol what furmark uses imgui

[green summit]

Amd is really like nvidia, if you remember the convo

"Interviewer: But isnt 8gb and 16gb way to low for the people who play videogames?

Amd: No, 8gb is fine, besides most of the people dont use it anyway and you dont need more video ram"

[neat flame]

they had way better stock than nvidia

but the demand for 9070 series was too much

[green summit]

its basically the same as nvidia, the only diffrence is that nvidia justifys it with their upscaling, so you dont need more video ram

[neat flame]

meh

[green summit]

but nvidia slowly goes away from the gaming scene and more to AI

linus mentioned once that the change is visible

[latent gull]

(It wasn’t slowly)

[green summit]

so people hoped from AMD, yeah you still got our back righhhhtttt? no

they clearly dont, and give you 1080p gaming, which i must say clearly isnt bad . .. but people want more

[latent gull]

The only people who thought AMD would use their position to not make as much money as possible are people who are unable to look at basic history and comprehend patterns

[latent gull]

Then pay more

[green summit]

i feel like that his line of gpus from Amd is not for the normal people but more for the poor people . . .. which doesnt go well when you see that the gpu game is the still the same

with every gpu that comes to market you can expect its 500 euro 1k more expensive that it was normally teased for

the lower end not so much

maybe 200 to 300 euro more by release

[green summit]

yeah or maybe people who had genuiely hope that amd wouldnt stab you in the back

like they are good in the cpu game, so why not gpu

[latent gull]

Then they failed to look at basic history and comprehend patterns. AMD has not been the “good guys” they’ve just usually been the “underdogs” which made people think they were good. When they’ve been ahead they’ve fumbled or chosen to not keep their underdog position in favor of squeezing consumers the same way Intel/nvidia did when they were on top.

[green summit]

i really hope intel to flood the market with gpus, so it basically forces nvidia and amd to go lower with prices, since yeah people still will buy their gpus but when intel got finally gaming figured out, and its cheaper than both other brands, it could end bad

[green summit]

true true, with amd i saw a pattern with squeezing their customers but i really hoped that they wouldnt give up their underdog position now so easily

now everyone knows what amd really wants and yeah

i will look now sometimes on the amd stock, it will prob go down

[digital egret]

Yo is there anyone that knows a thing or two abt SSD that i can ask a few questions in DM real quick?

[tulip sparrow]

Yoga 7 16AHP9 and yes I am dealing with the jumping cursor problem on Linux even after making sure it was fully updated on windows before switching to linux

[left dove]

just ask your stuff here

[digital egret]

Hey! I had an SSD that started causing blue screen crashes about 6 months ago. On rare occasions when the system did boot, the SSD would appear in File Explorer, but I couldn’t open any files on it — everything was unresponsive. I replaced it and installed Windows on a new SSD, and the faulty one has been disconnected and unused ever since. Now I’m wondering if leaving it idle for this long might’ve “reset” whatever issue it had. I want to test it safely without affecting my current setup. What’s the best way to check its health and performance, and is it worth trying to reuse it for non-critical storage, or should I just retire it?

[left dove]

if you have an ssd causing bluescreens, it's dying

if you WANT to test it, just get a sata to usb adapter

there is no "resetting" this

[digital egret]

I "resetted" it, so its empty now

[left dove]

tahts called formatting

[digital egret]

uh yes i formatted it

[tidal geyser]

How did you know it was the ssd

[left dove]

that tbh

[digital egret]

Went to technicans to format it etc, long story short i made it back to my home right

[tidal geyser]

Are you sure it was not the OS corrupting itself

[digital egret]

2-3 days later
Same shit happened so i tested out unplugging my SSD and its all fine @left dove

[tidal geyser]

What ssd was it

[digital egret]

so like, the SSD is literally still inside my PC case, just unplugged

[left dove]

did you even try reinstalling windows on it

[digital egret]

my windows since then has been changed to a separate NVME

[tidal geyser]

Wat sss

[left dove]

so plug it back in and run a smart test

[tidal geyser]

Crystal disk info

[left dove]

^

[digital egret]

to make it clear
i have

• 226 gbNVME for Windows
• 225GB SSD (old one)
• 1TB HDD
• 1TB SSD (faulty unplugged one)

[tidal geyser]

WHAT ssd is it

Name give me pls

[digital egret]

idk man i genuinely dont

it says

[tidal geyser]

Plug it in install crystal disk info and show us the ssd

[digital egret]

Toshiba

[tidal geyser]

Do toshiba make ssda?

[left dove]

yes

[tidal geyser]

I swear not but give me a moment

[digital egret]

can i send pic here or nah

[left dove]

yes

[tidal geyser]

Eh kinda

From a quick look it seems its enterprise or with lenovo

[left dove]

so, im still right

[tidal geyser]

That is a hdd

[left dove]

thats a hard drive

[digital egret]

wait no, theres another one on the backside hahaha

[tidal geyser]

Also should be replaced

[digital egret]

i forgot, my SSD is behind that HDD

[tidal geyser]

11 year old hdd

Like exactly

[frosty prism]

is this cooler good enough for a i5 14400f

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[digital egret]

so i replace the thingy too?

[tidal geyser]

Maybe, possible it's dying and why everything went to shit

[digital egret]

im installing crystaldisk too

[digital egret]

no no its not the SSD i was referring to. i cant take a pic of it, the SSD i was referring to is BEHIND that HDD i took a pic off

wait lemme get a clearer pic

[tidal geyser]

O well is it connected now?

Gtg 15min and back

[digital egret]

not yet, havent plugged it back for months now

Wait wtf @tidal geyser im so dumb?? i think its my HDD that died?!??!!

[left dove]

.....

[frail delta]

I’ve lost my marbles

[left dove]

this fkn server i swear

[frail delta]

They’re gone

[digital egret]

wait nvm

@left dove this is HDD right

[frail delta]

Yes

[left dove]

that is hard drive

[digital egret]

ah ye so my SSD died then

[left dove]

I'm excited and impatient today reeeee

[rigid fjord]

then i enter with food and it becomes a little bearable

[left dove]

yeah p much

[digital egret]

@left dove @tidal geyser cant take a pic of my SSD,
plugging it in wont fuck up my system right?

[left dove]

no

[digital egret]

so if it causes blue screenery then i can just unplug it and everything gonna be fine yes?

[rigid fjord]

chicken, bacon and red onion fried together with a little parsley, and philly served with pasta

[left dove]

Yes

[left dove]

Ugh yes pleaseeeee

[digital egret]

is my shit gonna die

[left dove]

You have bad blocks already, it's dying

[digital egret]

how to see

[rigid fjord]

add cajun seasoning if you want a little spice to it

[left dove]

It's in the image you just sent what

[craggy cove]

fucking bitlocker

[digital egret]

77 badblock tf am i cooked or not yet

[left dove]

Do you not listen? I just said it's dying. Idk when but it'll die fully sooner than later.

And if you ask me again within 20 minutes I'm going to ruin your makeup with a spork

[rigid fjord]

the patriot burst is a poor ssd tbh, they like a kingston a400 do die quickly

[digital egret]

whats a good cheap 1tb ssd

[raven scroll]

How hot should a cpu be when idling

[gleaming rose]

mp44l

[gleaming rose]

depends on the cpu and the cooler

[raven scroll]

Let’s say a 9800x3d with an aio

[tidal geyser]

The ones I said

[digital egret]

Do you guys put ur PC straight on the floor?

[tidal geyser]

Why not

[raven scroll]

Depends on table space

[rigid fjord]

nvme wise, a sn580,sn770,nm710,nm760,nm790,mp44,mp44l
sata ssd wise, mx500, 870 evo

[left dove]

no I put my pc gaily on the floor

[tidal geyser]

My 3k$ pc is just my foot rest

[left dove]

just as god intended

[digital egret]

i have this like rolling thingy on my pc, its below.

[raven scroll]

Wheels?

[digital egret]

yea small table w wheels

[rigid fjord]

it used to be, but i have it on a floating shelf nowadays

[left dove]

a cart.

[left dove]

honestly floor pc is fine, esp if you rotate the psu to intake from inside the chassis if it's a basement mount

[digital egret]

yes something like htis.

[tidal geyser]

What makes this worse is that he has a hdd

[raven scroll]

Can someone answer my question

[frail delta]

No

[rigid fjord]

i'm surprised how well the shelf be holing up to the weight of my pc tbf

[raven scroll]

How hot should a 9800x3d be when idling

[digital egret]

so PC straight to floor no problems? my roll wheel thingy is very unnecessary?

[frail delta]

Less than 90°

More than 15°

[raven scroll]

Roll wheel just for convenience

If you move it around

[rigid fjord]

depends on the flooring i would say, though having it intake from inside the case could cause a turbulence issue between the psu and gpu

[raven scroll]

Thank you 🙏

[tidal geyser]

95c

[raven scroll]

Wait a minute

[left dove]

unless atx, theres enough spacing there
also hardwood

[raven scroll]

Aren’t those temp ranges a lil too broad

[frail delta]

Nope

[left dove]

no

[tidal geyser]

Semi joke here, just do not give a shit about idle

Idle has lost its meaning a bit

[rigid fjord]

usually no issues for most people, but having it raised up a bit more is beneficial to airflow from below the case into the pc

[frail delta]

As long as it’s not gathering condensation, and as long as it’s not at the max safe operating temperature

[raven scroll]

Raised up always avoids getting kicked

[rigid fjord]

well tbf, idle don't matter until it's 70c+ in most cpu's cases

[raven scroll]

I’m getting around 50c

[frail delta]

Is that within the range?

[raven scroll]

Y3s

[frail delta]

There you go

[raven scroll]

[rigid fjord]

my cpu, and that's it not being actually idle

when idle it really drops

[ebon marlin]

Tf is online burning on a battery

[shell vortex]

Can anyone in here recommend me wireless headphones (2.4g) that costs $50-80 that are comfortable.

I have the hyperx cloud 2 pro and the razer blackshark v2 x and they are both uncomfortable

[hallow jasper]

I've only ever heard from users that HyperX's cans are relatively comfortable. So who knows, its probably just a you thing. We don't know what you'll find comfortable so this question probably can't be answered

guyssss
https://it.pcpartpicker.com/product/BQLdnQ/asus-prime-ap-850g-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ap-850g
is this a reliable psu?

[ebon marlin]

Yes but not something I'd get

It's generally recommended to avoid Asus products as much as you can

But you can get much better psu's for less

Iirc that psu is only B tier at best

[kindred drift]

Are we allowed to try and sell used pc parts in here?

[steel umbra]

Mostly

[ebon marlin]

No

[ebon marlin]

I'd pay couple euros more for this

https://it.pcpartpicker.com/product/jXCZxr/thermaltake-toughpower-gt-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ps-tpt-0850fnfage-3

[orchid garnet]

this one good tough?

[steel umbra]

Fbmp, ebay or your local marketplaces, join a server for such

this is not the one

[steel umbra]

This is worse tbh

[ebon marlin]

Really?

[steel umbra]

Yes

[ebon marlin]

What tier is it I haven't been keeping up with newer psus

[orchid garnet]

which one is it?

[steel umbra]

Asus prime is cwt gpx and tough gt is cwt gps or ce linkage boomage

[ebon marlin]

Not on the list from the looks of it

[orchid garnet]

yh i wasnt sure that's why i asked

cause im not trying to spend like 150 euros on a psu

[steel umbra]

Gps is downgraded gpx basicly and ce link is... Does not have reputation for non explosive psus at certain types of loads with lower ac @ebon marlin

They're both at most B tier

[ebon marlin]

How's ud850gm pg5 rev 2.0 on pcpp

Iirc it was B tier

[steel umbra]

that one is bit better

[ebon marlin]

But for 85€ it should be solid

[sage hearth]

Tiktok has epyc cpus now lol, terrible price theyre cheaper on newegg but theyre there

[ebon marlin]

Better than the 105 asus prime

[steel umbra]

Vetroo 850w atx 3.1 or montech century ii are better

or xpg core reactor

[ebon marlin]

They don't exist or are way too overpriced from what im looking at

[steel umbra]

$89 for the vetroo and century ii

unless they have raised prices

[ebon marlin]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/fzpQzy/gigabyte-ud850gm-pg5-rev-20-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-gp-ud850gm-pg5-20 @orchid garnet there's also this for 85€ check if it can be shipped from germany to you

[ebon marlin]

They are in Italy

[steel umbra]

oh

[ebon marlin]

Brochacho did not see euro symbols

[orchid garnet]

i guess i can find a cheaper b tier one once i do ill send it over

[ebon marlin]

Check if this can be shipped to you @orchid garnet

It's 85€ for a solid B tier

[orchid garnet]

comes 90 euros total

[ebon marlin]

Not bad

[orchid garnet]

bc of 5 euros chipping

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/zac1590-roblox-cats-cars-roblox-cats-gif-9382021991073771862

[orchid garnet]

yh but i would preffer something directly from amazonIT

not cause im racist or stuff like that

[ebon marlin]

No real difference between them

[orchid garnet]

what brands should i look for?

[ebon marlin]

Model over brand

[orchid garnet]

so u think an asus one is good by saying that

[ebon marlin]

Only the Rog models are good but I'd still avoid Asus in general

Because once ur product has any problems it's over

And in general Asus's build quality is very often lacking so it won't take long for problems to arise

[steel umbra]

@orchid garnet https://www.trovaprezzi.it/goto/791522504?impression=Vzl6eFN4eHZRNFR6eHNPUVlyQmdxZnZtaUd3ekpDOC9VRTFZa0ZHUnVXSGdJWlFPaXVZUm5BPT01&pos=129&nb_results=3087

Found it

[gloomy sleet]

i knew a guy who used this to mount pedals

[pseudo swallow]

Question, are ppl mad at 8gb of VRAM for the same reason Apple had 8gb of RAM?

[gloomy sleet]

8gb of vram is seen as not enough vram for modern games

[steel umbra]

He's in EU

does not apply to him

[gloomy sleet]

i honestly agree strictly talking about games released in the last like 3 years

other then the newest most demanding games 8gb is honestly just fine

[pseudo swallow]

It's that the same idea about telling apple that 8gb of RAM isn't enough?

[gloomy sleet]

no

[steel umbra]

Actually rog psus have good build quality, maybe even too good. That's where the money went

[gloomy sleet]

8gb unified ram is definitely not enough

thats for both the gpu and cpu

[pseudo swallow]

Hmmm. Instresting

[steel umbra]

instead of the psus being cheaper or actually better

I had strix 650w stripping my breakers because well... Seasonic focus g

it was not very uncommon for the platform to do that

alternatively explode too

[pseudo swallow]

So the M1 should have gotten 16

[ebon marlin]

That build quality won't save you from the horrid customer support though

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[steel umbra]

You're bing chillin if you buy them from a decent retailer in EU

[ebon marlin]

Why does every battery maker make the battery connector cable always too long

This happens to me with phone batteries and laptop batteries

[true stirrup]

Better too long than too short

[pseudo swallow]

I really don't know. It sounds like you need LTT cables. Coming at some point in time

[steel umbra]

EU is good for establishing such buyer protection laws

but also high taxes and customs that want green paper from my pocket so that most eu countries have 😭

[ebon marlin]

Why not just the middle

[pseudo swallow]

Is LTT trying that?

[junior valve]

@boreal vine its done

[ebon marlin]

Looks gay

[boreal vine]

nice

put the side panel on

[odd marsh]

who needs airflow

[ebon marlin]

What's the point of the noctua fan

Is it pulling air from a solid wall

[odd marsh]

nuh uh

[ebon marlin]

Still looks gay

[pseudo swallow]

Is it a old case of just looks like it

[junior valve]

old case

[pseudo swallow]

Nvm. That's a very old case

What year? Also looks really good

I see you have a Corsair sticker

[boreal vine]

Doesn't close properly though

[velvet kelp]

Is there any way i can make handbrake only use gpu? i have some vods that are over 4-5 hours long so they take 3 hours each minimum with 30 fps. so id want to keep that time down since it would just draw more power and i cant run it when im gaming either so. i use streamlink to record vods in the background rather than using obs, makes it easier, but seems to use the wrong codec

[junior valve]

i bent the frame a lil

[junior valve]

can you tell?

[pseudo swallow]

It looks like 89' but I'm really bad at guessing

[orchid garnet]

https://it.pcpartpicker.com/product/VTgFf7/gigabyte-ud850gm-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-gp-ud850gm
is this the b+ ??

[junior valve]

pentium 3 era i think

[tidal geyser]

wat list is dat

[pseudo swallow]

Ah. No idea lol. I got into computers a couple years ago

[orchid garnet]

idk

[digital egret]

@peytom

[tidal geyser]

what

[orchid garnet]

the lnk here

[tidal geyser]

o yeah dat right there

[sleek ibex]

[digital egret]

@left dove @tidal geyser i just tried replugging my faulty SSD, pc stucks on boot for like 10 mins so yeah i unplugged it now and its officially deadi guess?

[tidal geyser]

yeah probs went into read only mode

how long did you have it again

[ebon marlin]

Yes but this doesn't support pcie 5.0 cables

[digital egret]

idk man but definitely younger than my 2014 HDD

@tidal geyser around 2019 i think

[ebon marlin]

Aka 16pins which would be handy to have for the future

[orchid garnet]

whats that?

oh

[ebon marlin]

Also necessary for Nvidia products currently

[tidal geyser]

they still come with the adapter

[digital egret]

im so confused, why tf my 5 year old SSD die so quick

[orchid garnet]

[tidal geyser]

its not really

[ebon marlin]

I'd avoid the adapter

[tidal geyser]

not better but it has it

[digital egret]

what is it then

[tidal geyser]

probs just QLC ssd

[tidal geyser]

i would just avoid the 16 pin with anything using more then 350w

[digital egret]

whats that

[tidal geyser]

even the 4080 fe stock melted the connector

with a straight cable

[pseudo swallow]

And I only know laptops, mainly because I striped one and put it back together. And I know a little bit of pc since then.

[tidal geyser]

SSDs that die quick

[digital egret]

@tidal geyser tbf the problem literally started when Windows 10 forced me to update to Win11 all of a sudden

and that SSD wasnt even my windows ssd aswell

[tidal geyser]

ngl i would give reinstalling windows a try

[digital egret]

like it had 0 business dying this quick

[tidal geyser]

5 years old?

[digital egret]

nah im good now, shit hapened months ago im fine now.

[pseudo swallow]

[shadow nest]

[shadow nest]

[shadow nest]

Noice

[pseudo swallow]

How hard is that?

[orchid garnet]

that psu is like 160 euros but its in sale rn... is it's base cost high just bc of the name of the brand?

[shadow nest]

I dont recall there might be BS involving mac books

[pseudo swallow]

It's a Mac mini

[shadow nest]

Oh should be easier even

Oh wtf

[pseudo swallow]

Hmm. Ok. Should I replace it soon?

this a good monitor?
it says 0,5 ms response time 27 inch 1440p but 180hz and its an VA type whatever that means

[tidal geyser]

DO NOT buy VA

[pseudo swallow]

I'm going to ditch apple. Tbh i only used it BC my parents got it

[orchid garnet]

ips is better ig? right?

[tidal geyser]

yus

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-dickhead-monkey-scimmia-testa-di-cazzo-gif-20517009

New pfp

[rapid quarry]

At this point, there feels like no monetary reason to buy VA because you can find IPS for basically the same price

[pseudo swallow]

Why?

[steel umbra]

do not buy any random VA*

some VA’s are actually good and just as responsive as IPS

and some have decent hdr capability like the ones from aoc

[orchid garnet]

how do u know which va's are good?

[steel umbra]

i already told you to buy the century ii

[steel umbra]

from reviews

[orchid garnet]

what

[steel umbra]

montech century ii

[steel umbra]

.

pre 2025 rme is A- tier at most

[ebon marlin]

Ordered a 80wh battery and got a 91wh instead

[steel umbra]

B+ if you consider the bearing type

[orchid garnet]

dont trust that site sry

[tidal geyser]

let it calibrate

[tidal geyser]

why

[steel umbra]

why, isn’t it one of your sites

that ‘talians use

[ebon marlin]

Ay caramba windows reporting 40mins with battery at 46%

[orchid garnet]

im not an expert so idk

[steel umbra]

just buy it then

montech century ii 850w from that website

or other that have it priced similarly

[distant frigate]

2 gigabit. New record here

[plush wren]

montech century regular is kinda ass

[steel umbra]

dis is the II

[plush wren]

ik

[steel umbra]

[plush wren]

[orchid garnet]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/sqbypg/montech-century-ii-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-century-ii-850w
is it this one?

[steel umbra]

yes but €100

[orchid garnet]

isnt this one more reliable?

[ebon marlin]

Rme is poop

[steel umbra]

maybe

as i said buy it from that italian website for €90 and be done

you’re italian right?

[orchid garnet]

yh

[plush wren]

hi hwswap fam

[ebon marlin]

Stinky redditor

[solid osprey]

yo guys im running a server with deepseek 7b on it, and its running on my intel i5 6500. if i stick this in would it improve responses in terms of speed?

[steel umbra]

me??????????

[ebon marlin]

All redditors

[steel umbra]

big rude nuke you

[solid osprey]

rn with the 6500 it takes about 1 minute to generate a python program which prints hello world 5 times

[gentle kestrel]

you’re gonna want a lot more vram for that

[steel umbra]

plot twist: me not

[solid osprey]

fr?

[plush wren]

Whom

most people selling shyt on here are cooked tuah

2x8gb ddr4 3000 cl16 for $35 and I believe its used too

[gentle kestrel]

yeah ai uses a ton, that’s why cards like the 3060 12gb were the best hobbyist pickups for that

[orchid garnet]

https://it.pcpartpicker.com/list/6VmkPJ btw this is my list
im looking to change the mobo and the monitor rn
and then theres the gpu cause i can get the 7900 xt for just 100 euros more then the 7800xt

[solid osprey]

but like if its running on integrated graphics at not too shabby speeds shouldnt 4gb be plenty? its onl the 7b model

im also looking for max 40w tdp btw

[steel umbra]

yup the rifle bearing garbage from hong hua is garbageous they use in the rme

[solid osprey]

because the psu is 180w and its not a standard psu

[ebon marlin]

This battery replacement on the razer blade is so heavy it makes the touchpad not clicky lol

[steel umbra]

why not the century ii

[orchid garnet]

i dont feel it

[steel umbra]

…..

man it’s a vanilla A tier, it has been thoroughly tested, decent new platfrom from iirc andynson

in short it’s better than the rme unthoroughly tested*

[latent pasture]

white theme
https://it.pcpartpicker.com/list/LWy4v4

[ebon marlin]

The RME psu's fans are absolute pooppenschlingers and are very loud

[rigid fjord]

it's a lower end tier A psu, decent but there's better out there

[steel umbra]

nvm i’m wrong the century ii 850w uses xhy 💀 my bads op

[orchid garnet]

like?

[latent pasture]

just change the psu if u settle the fluff going on rn

[rigid fjord]

you'd want one with 8gb or better vram tbh

[solid osprey]

deepseek 7b runs very quickly on my rx 6500 xt though

with 4gb vram
