[limpid dune]

and it made up every single number there 😭

[serene pumice]

[tender folio]

like what games

[limpid dune]

hot take but AI sucks

[fallen sky]

!!???????

[fallen sky]

What else

[serene pumice]

You sure? 5950x does have 16 cores.

[boreal vine]

Ray Tracing is such a nothing burger

[serene pumice]

Real & True

[boreal vine]

Are there any games that showcases it well

All of the ones I've tried so far kinda meh

[serene pumice]

Once upon a time, game devs made great lightning

[fallen sky]

Yeah ok bro

Is that really its extent of knowledge

[limpid dune]

idk, I think RT is just... interesting. Indiana Jones is prettier and runs faster than RDR2 on my 4080 Super

[gleaming rose]

LMAOO

[limpid dune]

RT is actually amazingly powerful given that it's only using the RT cores, which are quite small

[boreal vine]

RDR2 is such a fuck fest it's not even funny

that "overhaul" they did was so questionable

it's either people get like 200+ fps or like barely scratching 60

[bronze summit]

RDR2 is a boring game with tiny cool tidbits about random shit

[limpid dune]

it's so weird, it's so well CPU optimized but so weirdly GPU optimized

[fallen sky]

Says it is 2025 but shows a calendar from 2024

[serene pumice]

Just play it on Playstation.

[limpid dune]

obliterating you with my mind beams

[boreal vine]

exactly

[boreal vine]

the fuck are you taking this photo from, nokia 3310?

[bronze summit]

Idk if i should be flattered that you think I'm a British Trans Person or I should be scared that you think I'm a British Trans person

[boreal vine]

I said nothing about either 😭

holy airball

[tender folio]

its was just a question broski 😂 But yea things like red dead redemption 2, emulating games for ps3 and xbox 360, Spiderman, Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, Fifa, etc. maybe some other games like valorant or so

[fallen sky]

at that point just get a MacBook 🥀

[boreal vine]

14900hx + 4060

https://tenor.com/view/andrew-tate-gif-27334652

[fallen sky]

What’s the x variable

Nvm

h*****

[tender folio]

bro macbook cant even play most games

[fallen sky]

have u even had one

[tender folio]

Also im taking engineering macbook is outdated for that kinda of stuff

[tender folio]

my brother has one

[fallen sky]

could have said so

[tender folio]

Ok bro who peed in your cereal

[fallen sky]

okay

Just being real with you

[tender folio]

we got timmy tough knuckles over here

😭

[fallen sky]

ok

And no that is a bad computer

Nobody is telling you what to get

Do it urself

[south arrow]

[rigid fjord]

great way to see it die quickly

[serene pumice]

But why

[trim gyro]

if you are staying in a dorm, you could bring your PC with you

and carry around an apu laptop with good battery

[tender folio]

bro got mad that i said that

LOL its a good computer everyone told me its good so i wonder why u only say its bad 😂

[serene pumice]

or pen & paper

[trim gyro]

igpus on laptops also have gotten better, so you could try relying on some upscaling to play games

[tender folio]

Like bro fr i really am not a crazy gamer or sum

[trim gyro]

for all I care, Infinity Nikki runs pretty well with a 6800U with 35W going into the iGPU

[tender folio]

I just play games and I would like if it does good doesnt need 500fps

im not a nerd bro i just wanna have fun and for a good price and need it for college

Im getting it from Costco and I have benefits from it like free warranty and such

etc yk

[empty token]

i might be cooked… i just wiped my dads laptop that he was giving to me and now im hit with the dreaded “inaccessible boot device” pray for me

[trim gyro]

time to reinstall the OS

[tender folio]

Lol

ok but fr tho will the laptop be good enough for college and gaming?

Doesnt needa be cyberpunk level

[trim gyro]

sure? but cramming a GPU in a laptop usually means a smaller battery

[tender folio]

i dontn rlly need something that lasts 10 hours

plus when i game il play on charge

[trim gyro]

but if it's plugged in, I don't think it'll be an issue

[tender folio]

It should also be 3-5 hours on school work

[bronze summit]

Normalize being evil

[serene pumice]

[tender folio]

yep

valid

[rigid fjord]

you do realise they can still suffer from the degredation issue

[hidden hill]

Can I put an m.2 ssd in my pc without screwing it?

Lost the screw while taking it out of my old pc

[gleaming rose]

depends

[hidden hill]

Nvm prebuilt pc came with bags and one has the screws for m.2s

[tidal falcon]

Rate my keycaps

[gleaming rose]

meh
kinda distracting

[zinc widget]

Just got some Sony XM6s

These sound great

[hidden hill]

God damn it.. I can’t get the screw in it’s too tight..

[zinc widget]

Take out the gpu

[hidden hill]

No way

[boreal vine]

20$

[hidden hill]

That’s what I’m avoiding, don’t want to mess with that

[zinc widget]

It takes 30 seconds

[tidal falcon]

Ye

[tidal falcon]

Not too bad

At least for me

[hidden hill]

Scared of damaging it

[boreal vine]

Looks cheap and tacky but thats just my opinion

Ik people like it tho

[zinc widget]

As long as you undo that little clip on the pcie port you’ll be fine

Or get a real long screwdriver

[hidden hill]

Could I just leave the m.2 drive unscrewed?

Or what if I took a tiny piece of tap and connected it with a long screwdriver

[steel umbra]

way too common now

but nice style nonetheless

[tidal falcon]

True

[tidal falcon]

Thx

[hexed tapir]

My solution was to cut up cardboard and shove it in the screw hole, and it's been fine for nearly 2 years

[sinful cobalt]

initial d manga vibes

[tidal falcon]

Someone else said borderlands vibes lol

[zinc widget]

Ngl my AirPods Pro 2 might have better treble than my new Sony XM6

[gleaming rose]

well yeah Sony headphones are bass heavy

[zinc widget]

Well I tuned up the treble on the eq

[gleaming rose]

doesn't mean anything

[zinc widget]

Definitely fuller on bass tho

[versed creek]

Worth getting? Or should i get something else?

[gleaming rose]

hell no

[versed creek]

Idk shit about 3d printing

[gleaming rose]

there's a discord server for that

[frigid blade]

It’s probably a bad printer if it’s $60

[versed creek]

Could i potentially have a link

[gleaming rose]

google

[frigid blade]

Google is free 🤓

[zinc widget]

The new case is way better

[frigid blade]

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

[zinc widget]

It’s magnetic instead of a zipper

[hidden hill]

Fuck it I’ll just leave it like this

[gleaming rose]

DMS

[zinc widget]

I ain’t got any 3d printers

I do got a CNC mill tho

lol

It’s like the one thing I have nicer than Linus lolololol

[hidden hill]

Welp, hope it doesn’t fall out lmao

[zinc widget]

TAKE OUT THE GRAPHICS CARD …please

https://tenor.com/view/orbarbs-blackpink-jennie-gif-22349517

[hidden hill]

its mounted and screwed in a bunch of annoying spots

its above my paygrade 🙂

[zinc widget]

Wdym

[hidden hill]

its locked down, it isnt just connected by the port

[zinc widget]

Show

[hidden hill]

this case is really annoying to work with due to how big that 5080 is lol

[zinc widget]

No the other side

Every case has that

[zinc widget]

Wait is it just those 3 screws?

[hidden hill]

Pretty sure there’s some mounting on the bottom too

[zinc widget]

https://a.co/d/bvJenwU

if you really don’t wanna take the gpu out

[hidden hill]

Because it is super firm on the bottom

[zinc widget]

Show me the end

[hidden hill]

Magnetic long and skinny?

[hidden hill]

Can’t, there’s no way to view it

[zinc widget]

Not very skinny but I’m the other two

Wait you meant the screwdriver

Yes it’s all three of those

lol

[hidden hill]

Lmao

[subtle mountain]

I have a secondary gpu plugged in for lossless scaling. Is it worth using it for obs/resolve to offload the graphics? 7800xt main gpu, 1650S secondary gpu

[hidden hill]

Yeah I really don’t know how there’s not a good magnetic screwdriver in my house

We usually use a drill and bits so I guess that’s why

Not normally working on precision screwing in a pc

[zinc widget]

Sounds like driver hell.

[zinc widget]

Milwaukee makes a long extension for screwdriver bits if you have their fancy kit

[subtle mountain]

eh it works for now. only had an issue once with windows updated overwritting drivers but its all good now

[zinc widget]

It was the AMD gpu wasn’t it

[subtle mountain]

yes

[hidden hill]

I think my dad has a fancy kit from them, it’s more large scale tools though, don’t think it was anything small

[zinc widget]

Yeah I do IT and got so pissed at that I refuse to buy Radeon gpus anymore

[zinc widget]

Well you just put the smallest Phillips bit

[subtle mountain]

yeah I rolled back to older drivers and blocked updates. a week later the issue was fixed

[zinc widget]

It kept doing it for a work pc with an rx 580

Every time

Roughly once a month

And the windows rx 580 drivers are buggy and don’t support multi monitor

I got fed up and put in a 3060

[subtle mountain]

rip

[zinc widget]

Zero issues after that

[azure topaz]

fuckin amd yo

[zinc widget]

(It’s overkill I just need something with 2 DP outs)

That’s 3060 is literally just a display out

[azure topaz]

peak

its only purpose nowadays /j

[subtle mountain]

funny thing is I never had issues until I started using dual gpu

even though I heard its a fairly common amd bug

[hidden hill]

welp got another TB on my pc now, 4 TBs sounds like more than enough

[azure topaz]

tb?

thunder bolt?

wtaf do you even need one for on a real desktop

[hidden hill]

please tell me im not dumb

TB is terabyte right?

[azure topaz]

i might be dumb

ohhhh okay okay okay storage

tb is terabyte but for some reason storage skipped my mind of being a possibility

[hidden hill]

okay it is right lol

[hidden hill]

lol

[azure topaz]

am stupid excuse m

[bronze summit]

I sentence you to driving a Subaru Alcyone

[azure topaz]

no fuck you ill drive a subraru brat

[hidden hill]

nah im throwing thunder bolts at the pc, 4 to be exact

[azure topaz]

thunderbolt is like an external pcie port

except it uses type c

and its goated on laptops depending on the person

[bronze summit]

Nuh uh

[hidden hill]

thought that was also a name for the old apple port

[azure topaz]

thats lightning

[hidden hill]

lmao both electricity related

[bronze summit]

Now get in Blubber Boy

[azure topaz]

looks kinda cute ill whip it

[hidden hill]

looks like a type of car people would customize a ton, like a drift car

[azure topaz]

id leave it oem+

mostly invisible mawds

handling breaks blah

[hidden hill]

nah got to get it low and make the fenders wide af

[azure topaz]

stance the tires drift it

[azure topaz]

angle kit

thats hot i fw it

[hidden hill]

i miss the look of these 90s 2000s cars

[hidden hill]

wtf that looks sick

[bronze summit]

It's Automatic Only and it's one of those weird "future" cars

[azure topaz]

oem+ and a manual swap

[bronze summit]

Not really a tuner car but it's just like a DeLorean but cooler

[hidden hill]

like 80s retro future

im envisioning that david hasselhoff movie or whatever

Does it have apple car play?

[zinc widget]

I’ve got it I’m thinking of using a dock and putting my pc in another room

[fleet plaza]

chat im factory resetting my pc rn cuz its getting way slower for some reason

[hidden hill]

god why is the sn570 ssd soooo much slower than the msi one

are there that big of differences between ssd speeds?

[fleet plaza]

pretty much

[hidden hill]

guess sandisk has some crappy ones

its not terrible, just this msi one is ridiculous

should i optimize my good ssd?

just did it for the slow one

[tender folio]

should i aim for the walmart one or nah because its cheaper but its sold by Electronic Express

Or the Costco one on the left which is for sure legit ofc but its 300-400 more

[gleaming rose]

i forgot how nice kde was

[cosmic stratus]

Its a gun

[tawny lava]

I got my new 5070 ti today how come im getting double the fps from my 2080 super if theyre only 3 generations apart?

I thought new gens on the same tier usually a 20% uplift

[thorn cove]

Why do MoCA come in packs of 2?

[tawny lava]

So it should be 60% more fps instead of 100%

[thorn pewter]

😭

I mean at least it’s somewhere other than Austin man🥺

[formal sonnet]

Because you need devices on both ends to convert the MoCA signal from / to Ethernet.

[bronze summit]

Kirashi

[thorn cove]

my router is already connected to the walls through coax, at least thats what the guy did. So can I just connect the Coax into the Moca and hope I get internet?

[formal sonnet]

Assuming the router outputs a useable MoCA signal and the coax connection you're attaching the MoCA adapter to is also connected to the same coax the router is hooked up to, sure, maybe, probably.

[gleaming rose]

youll need a modem, a router connected to the modem, a moca adapter connected to the router and the coax, and then another moca adapter wherever needed

you can combine coax signals with a splitter iirc

[thorn cove]

I had a look at the router and I think thats what the guy did

since the place I live in is kinda old, the "ethernet" adapters (I dont know what to call them, they are the outlets used to connect old phones) dont fit modern cat 5 and cat6 ethernet cables

[gleaming rose]

yeah you cant use that for ethernet because those are phone lines

[thorn cove]

Ah makes sense, I thought there was an option to change the outlets but looked inside and it looked really complicated

[gleaming rose]

although it is technically possible, you won't get any speeds at all

[gleaming rose]

the cabling is all cat3

[thorn cove]

So I guess my only option is MoCA or WiFi

[gleaming rose]

or ethernet

[thorn cove]

Tying a cable to the router is possible but I am in a different room 😭

what do you recommend?

[gleaming rose]

got a swiss army knife? how far away is your room

[thorn cove]

Well, its on the other side of the wall from my room, but I cant open a hole to it

[gleaming rose]

that's where the swiss army knife comes in

[thorn cove]

Landlord already put MoCA on one side so I think they expect me to put MoCA on the other lol

[gleaming rose]

wdym landlord put moca on one side?

are you sure that isn't just a modem

[thorn cove]

There already is a modem but Coax connected to the wall

[gleaming rose]

can you send a photo

[thorn cove]

Sadly not now, Ill try to explain better though lol

[grizzled frost]

sounds like you have coax internet in

[thorn cove]

https://www.amazon.com/goCoax-Adapter-Ethernet-Bandwidth-existing/dp/B08XP8MMFG/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&sr=1-5 It kinda looks like this but smaller and black

[grizzled frost]

(different from moca)

[gleaming rose]

see that's what i was thinking

my old internet service was over coax

[thorn cove]

yeah that would make sense, I doubt spectrum would do good wifi

[grizzled frost]

(DOCSIS 3.0 if you wanna be specific)

[gleaming rose]

or 3.1

[grizzled frost]

oh spectrum is defo coax internet

[grizzled frost]

spectrum, that fucker is 3.0

[gleaming rose]

spectrum is dogshit

[thorn cove]

nationwide isnt on my side today

[gleaming rose]

ah

[grizzled frost]

i have spectrum, i will forever hate spectrum

[gleaming rose]

i had spectrum, switched to tmobile 5g and wotn go back

[grizzled frost]

@thorn cove tldr; your internet in uses coaxial cable, but uses a different communication standard than moca

same cable, different kind of data

[thorn cove]

So would getting MoCA give internet to unga bunga box?

[grizzled frost]

you have to convert from docsis to ethernet, what you then do with that ethernet after that is your choice

[thorn cove]

alright, seems like too big of a problem to fix so I wont fix it

thank you guys though lol

[gleaming rose]

I would like to point out that Mocha is a hack and realistically you won't see it unless it was set up in a non professional setting

*moca

[thorn cove]

I guess yeah, more cables is a bad thing

I would probably need to get one of those wifi motherboards on my next build though

even though the software is kinda bloated, and my internet isnt that good, it will be usable

[hard wren]

Rip I keep getting duds for ssds :(

Second one I've had to return

[astral vessel]

is it cheaper to own an embedded pc with magnetic tape than subscribing any cloud storage service?

[hexed tapir]

Depends how much you are backing up

[fickle ivy]

In my experience the main difference between a tech enthusiast and someone who works in tech support is what can go wrong vs what "will" go wrong

[hexed tapir]

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/pioneer-new-blu-ray-recorder-and-bdr-promise-100-years-lifespan if you don't need to access things that often

[fickle ivy]

I will provide my argument for this

My friend's dad who has worked in tech support at least 7 years told me it was unsafe to use a laptop USB type C charger to charge my phone because it can degrade the battery or blow up the battery

Just because it can happen doesn't mean it will

[astral vessel]

i do trust in murphy's law though

[fickle ivy]

I then provided the argument that I was using a Dell laptop charger which complies with the USB pd standard which makes it so that it will communicate with my phone to pull the max voltage/wattage that my phone can accept

Which makes it incredibly unlikely that anything would happen

As well as apparently leaving my side panel off causing the motherboard to short due too dust going into my pc

Just because it CAN happen doesn't mean that there is any reasonable chance that it will happen

[hexed tapir]

Just don't use a cnc machine next to the PC

[fickle ivy]

It's because it's on the carpet

[frigid blade]

It’s very useful though

Lots of older homes have coax in every room

[swift moss]

Red flag ahh

[frail delta]

The price was the red flag

[swift moss]

@frail delta I was boutta say that lol

they even sent me a receipt with 2199AUD lol

like why would they sell it new for 450 and now they want a down payment

[frail delta]

A fake receipt lol

[swift moss]

and the phone they sent the receipt of doesnt even match serial number and color @frail delta 😂

[swift moss]

yep

[frail delta]

Not even fake then

[swift moss]

hold on

you can see the serial number on the receipt starts with a G, whereas the phone on the listing starts with a F

joined in 2025 lol as well

[swift moss]

shame its got actual apps on it as well

[wild pendant]

its been so long jeez

[hexed tapir]

The bottom matches this, scammers are printing fake receipts now lmao

[swift moss]

WAIT WHATTTT

thats crazy, im still gonna go check it out lol what should i look out for

[frail delta]

Yeah

[swift moss]

now i think the biggest guardian is common sense

we only got that left lol

a 450 dollar 1600 dollar phone with applecare stil valid

[hexed tapir]

I highly doubt they are selling it they just wanting you to "reserve it for a small fee"

[swift moss]

yeah ikrrr

they said im fine to come view it and gave an address

confident aye

[hexed tapir]

Ask if they can meet at a police station

Also ask why the name on the receipt doesn't match the Facebook name

[frail delta]

They’re just sending you to some rando

[frail delta]

Actually yeah this receipt is fake

It doesn’t say tax invoice on it

[hexed tapir]

Anthony from Ontario is selling the same one too

[hidden hill]

turned this off on my other ssd and it 10x'd the download speed

should i be turning this off on every drive i have?

[swift moss]

ooh

HAHAHAHA

[plush wren]

they have been doing that for a long time

[pallid surge]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/hZC8wY or https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/QhNzgn

Trying to build for as cheap as possible

[plush wren]

i cant tell if this is ragebait

[thorny saddle]

i can

[clear canyon]

Cheapest possible build would to use ur phone

🙂

[mint umbra]

What is the point of arm based windows

[clear canyon]

Laptops

Low power draw

[mint umbra]

You can just get the new Intel chips

That are just as efficient

Frome what I saw

[thorny saddle]

man i just played the weirdest round of Warzone

[mint umbra]

In benchmarks

[thorny saddle]

💪

[clear canyon]

Even if it is currently, what's to say what arm becomes in the future

[mint umbra]

I just don't think there's much support for arm based windows

Compared to the like of mac

[clear canyon]

Its a new thing, its gonna take a bit of time but its getting there

[mint umbra]

I just don't see a world where getting arm based windows is the play over x86

If you getting arm you might as well just get a mac

[clear canyon]

Again, power efficiency in laptops

[clear canyon]

No

Not everyone likes mac

[mint umbra]

Some of the newer chips are very efficient

Without arm

[elder quarry]

Linux

[mint umbra]

What does Linux have to do with arm based windows

[elder quarry]

Wrong reply

[elder quarry]

But Linux has much better support and there are very few applications not supported there

Depends on what you’re doing

3d modelling and stuff like that can be difficult however it’s arm

So no support for windows either

[frigid topaz]

But Linux supports less games with anti cheat

[limpid dune]

Gentoo Linux pretty much doesn't care what architecture you're using, but it also isn't very easy to use 😅

[limpid dune]

not that many tbh, and many anti-cheat games have normal (ie. not emulated) linux versions anyway. War Thunder is an anti-cheat game, but it works great because the devs just... make a linux version

(important note; Proton/WINE is not emulation, but, yknow, it looks the same and it does the same things)

[frigid topaz]

Fairs but I wouldn't use Linux cause it's not as user friendly as windows

Difficult to learn

[elder quarry]

Gaming on ARM?

[elder quarry]

That’s not correct, it’s really simple according to me. The distro choice and DE is the thing that matters

[clear canyon]

Not really lol, you can easily get a dystro thats just all GUI lol

You dont gotta get one thats gui limited

[mint umbra]

I don't see a benefit of using Linux

Just seems more trouble than it's worth

Like for the average user what's the real world benefit

[steel umbra]

get prepared to get cannon cart’d in this chat

[tidal geyser]

You do know windows advertising data let's sponsors know, when you are using the computer when you are not, when you went away from it, where you are and so on

[steel umbra]

i smell the typing on keyboards as angy linux users type rn

[tidal geyser]

Also all the ai Bellshill they are putting in it now

[mint umbra]

I personally couldn't care less about those things

[steel umbra]

exactly

your resources are being used by bunch of junk you don’t care about

[tidal geyser]

Do you like scam calls
Ads that hit a bit too close to home

[steel umbra]

and if you want to get rid of them microsoft tries to make it somewhat obscure

[mint umbra]

I just don't pick up scam calls

Not a big deal

[tidal geyser]

They can also use that data to impresinate you and do sim swapps and such

[mint umbra]

Mate all my data is already out there

[tidal geyser]

But you can at least reduce new stuff

[mint umbra]

I really don't care

[tidal geyser]

Anyways idc much too but there are a massive amount of reason not to use windows

[mint umbra]

Like if I wanted to be secure I wouldn't use Google either

[steel umbra]

Windows has the popularity

therefore also more game support and application support usually

[gentle kestrel]

windows has like 30 years of background support and legacy compatibility

[steel umbra]

for most consumers

[tidal geyser]

Wine ans proton

[mint umbra]

I still have games not compatible with Linux I wouldn't be able to play

So no thanks

[steel umbra]

not every game supports it

[mint umbra]

Games with kernel anti cheat

Can't be played

[gentle kestrel]

as long as replacing standards and glibc breakages occur i wouldn’t expect oems to sway everyday people to linux

[tidal geyser]

Every game supports it, other then kernal level anti cheat

[mint umbra]

Destiny

A couple others as well

[gentle kestrel]

i would really describe a bunch of translation layers as supporting a platform

[mint umbra]

Pretty sure call of duty can't be played either

[gentle kestrel]

it’s moreso proton/wine and dxvk support games then games support linux

[mint umbra]

I just don't see a real reason to use it over windows

[gentle kestrel]

valve pushed for native games years ago and i’d bet more than half of them just wouldn’t launch on a modern linux system

if you’re interested in using it basically

there’s no reason to switch operating systems unless you find a need to

[steel umbra]

even other than kernel level anti cheats

some games just don’t run well on proton

others run better than windows

others are borked

[mint umbra]

Like how much diff could a os really make my PC experience for normal users

[gentle kestrel]

i mean dropping a normal user on linux would just lead to frustration probably

[steel umbra]

yes, people are used to windows and that’s a worthwhile consideration, if someone doesn’t want a change because they don’t have time, i hate to see people actually still pushing linux despite windows users telling them that for example

A wants to solve one windows issue
B suggests entirely diff OS

reddit

[gentle kestrel]

there’s also the parroting of false stuff on both ends of the argument

you’ll see redditors insisting windows is an unstable unusable operating system when probably 75% of the desktop client market uses it fine

like yeah if you run ron’s powershell cleanmaxer and remove core services it’ll probably break something

but linux also isn’t super hard to figure out if you’re actually interested in learning it

[ebon marlin]

Ay caramba

[steel umbra]

if you don’t have reason not to go linux, go for linux

[mint umbra]

Just why

[steel umbra]

awww the joke could’ve been so good if it would be qualcomm inside

i’m surprised people do actually volunteer for those brain chips, i mean yeah you need test subjects people to test out the tech if it works… but i would spend atleast a decade more ensuring nothing wrong / reducing the probability

[mint umbra]

I don't think we should be putting chips anywhere near our brains

[steel umbra]

medical use is alright, but i don’t want to see ads or pinpoint tracking in those devices

[clear canyon]

If it ever becomes something that is super useful and won't risk me becoming brain dead, I wouldn't mind one

[clear canyon]

That would fucking suck lmao

[steel umbra]

very long ‘til it will be a common thing or they may strike a wall where they’d not be able to safely implement it or guarantee you won’t ded

[clear canyon]

should i get the rtx 5070 12gb for 600 euros or the 9070xt 16gb for 750 euros

[random gyro]

Im no expert , but look at benchmarks and get the most powerful you can afford

[tidal geyser]

9070 xt

[wraith bone]

grab em https://www.arctic.de/en/refurbished/

[random gyro]

Hey sim , are you familiar wuth undervolting cpus ?

[tidal geyser]

not really

[random gyro]

Ah okay

[steel umbra]

use case?

[swift trout]

Just casual/shooter games.

[steel umbra]

which ones? for valorant and cs2 you prob don’t need a mid range gpu

the current gpu market is not very healthy rn so…

[swift trout]

Rainbow six for shooter game. For the casual games i play f1 24/25, asetto and some story games. Like last of us etc

[steel umbra]

how’s price of used 4070 ti?

[swift trout]

let me check

ti or ti super

[steel umbra]

both

[tidal geyser]

what are your current specs

[steel umbra]

if the 4070 ti used is cheaper by like 10% than the 5070 i’d get that for now

[swift trout]

the ti 600-800 euros xD

[true stirrup]

Wtf those prices are crazy

[steel umbra]

holey moley

[true stirrup]

Is your CPU overheating?

[steel umbra]

this is fire

[frigid topaz]

Can this run gta6?

[swift trout]

ryzen 7 9800x3d, 32gb 6000mhz cl30 and a 3060 12gb

[tidal geyser]

tf are those specs

[random gyro]

My gf bought a prebuild with a 360mm titan corsair RX , 9950x3d and the cpu gets in minecraft about 70-80ish (when optimised with sodium). So i did wonder if the aio was correctly applied or not

[swift trout]

Thats my point xD

[true stirrup]

AM5 CPUs boost to that (or higher) temperature so that is completely normal

[random gyro]

Doing negative of -25 seemed to help a lot but i donno of thats the only setting i need to do in bios

[tidal geyser]

why in the hell did you not just get a r5 7600 and then i dono a 4080 or smn

[random gyro]

Oh rly? Damn

[tidal geyser]

or 9070 xt on release or whatever

[swift trout]

The 9800x3d was a gift from work

[tidal geyser]

o well, wait how does that work

why do i feel like you spent 200$+ on a motherboard

or got a 1kw+ psu

[swift trout]

nah, thats overkill

[true stirrup]

Yeah so you really shouldn't worry about those temps

[random gyro]

ah okay, thanks 🙂

[ebon marlin]

Was calibrating my new battery on my laptop so I had it play Friday Night while I slept and it played it for a little over 5 hours before dying

[ashen hedge]

Is this an ideal fan curve / idle temp?

[tidal geyser]

just use what the card came with

do not fuck with the fan profiles in software if there is zero need

and yes cpu can be 95c and the gpu like 83c+

well cpu 95c or 89c

[ashen hedge]

It was too loud

[tidal geyser]

then change it in bios

well tbf the gpu fan profile is a bit harder

[ashen hedge]

Bios better than software?

[tidal geyser]

yes

Does the xbox wireless adapter provide greater range than BT?

you should go and get that leak shield

[true stirrup]

A piece of something I have no idea what the translation is, is doing the job now lol

[tidal geyser]

that hard drive is going to have such a bad time if that ever leaks

[true stirrup]

Ngl I'm not even using it anymore
I might just remove it

[tidal geyser]

make a nas

[boreal vine]

sleeper build

[true stirrup]

Electricity is too expensive at the moment

[boreal vine]

@true stirrup I've always wondered, how come you didn't watercool your CPU?

[sleek ibex]

[true stirrup]

Well I first upgraded my PC from a 4590K to a 12600KF and kept my old 1050 until I found a good deal on a GPU
And since I upgraded my CPU I needed a new cooler so I bought the PS120SE
Then like 2-3 months later I scored this watercooled 2080 super for 150€ and had to buy a loop for it which cost me another 60€
So I was left with my CPU air-cooled from before and my GPU watercooled

[boreal vine]

ever plan on buying a block to WC that CPU too?

12600kf ain't that hard to cool tbf

I think you can get away with it being in the same loop as your GPU

[sleek ibex]

What size rad do you currently have in that case?

[boreal vine]

if it's 120 I'd be laughing my ass off hard

[true stirrup]

If I ever decide to get a Z series motherboard so I can OC my CPU maybe

[true stirrup]

240mm

[boreal vine]

im on 12900k + z690 f d4

I haven'ted messed around with it

[tidal geyser]

are you unable to use your fridge

[sleek ibex]

Ah alright, if you do throw in the CPU in the loop, you could put in another 240 rad in there as it doesn't hurt

[tidal geyser]

a nas if done right is like 5-50w

[sleek ibex]

Actually can the case support a 240 on top?

[true stirrup]

Well at that point I will also have to buy a new case because the current one can't take my more internal rads

[true stirrup]

It does not

[sleek ibex]

Damn

[tidal geyser]

make it support it

[true stirrup]

The case is from 2009 and it was meant for only external watercooling

[boreal vine]

I mean tbf, a case swap is in order for their build

I do think that custom watercooling ins't worth it like 99% of the time unless you have an ultra high end build or reaching for WR

[wheat torrent]

odd question;
Yall know the dual resolution monitors like the lg gx9 with 4k 160hz and 1080p 360hz.
Nvidia has super resolution (not dlss) which can render the game at x2.25 or x1.75 at a much better efficiency than the native resolution,

I am wondering how would that compare to 4k in 1080p mode with x2.25 🤔

[tidal geyser]

test it

[sleek ibex]

Can confirm as most of my loops have Ryzen 9s/core 9s or even X3Ds for CPUs and 90 class and whatever Highest end Radeon GPU for a reason

[glacial kraken]

why cant a company just make earbuds that work bro

is it really that hard

[wheat torrent]

I don't have a 2000 usd monitor 😭

[solar moat]

sadly ryzen 7000/9000 thermal desinity of the dies under the ihs is large factor

[true stirrup]

I agreed but in my case it was much cheaper to go down this path rather than buying an aircooled GPU
At that time the best 210€ GPU I could get was a 3060 and my 2080 super with my OC on it just laps it completely

[wheat torrent]

DLSS DLAA DLDSR

you can run DLSS with DLDSR 🤔

dlss renders at lower resolution then upscales, but at the same time dldsr renders at higher resolution then downscales

[floral vortex]

Hi, I would like to know how to solve the problem.
pc is new (4-5 months) ryzen 7 7800x3d 4080super
When I first used it, the temps jumped from 40 to 70 even when idle, and up to 80-90 when I launched games.
Since I already had Ryzen and didn't have such problems, undervolting helped me for the first time.
But a couple of days ago, the same problem started, and I can't solve it.
Whenever I launch Google or any other apps, cpu temps jumps from 50 to 90, even more in games.
I understand that Ryzen cpu are hot and all that, but I didn't have such a problem on the old Ryzen and up until now the same.

[tidal geyser]

cheese

[tidal geyser]

its meant to be 89c

[wheat torrent]

what is the overhead of running a upscaling algorithm on another video card

[tidal geyser]

what is the power use
what cooler

a clogged AIO could be the cause

[wheat torrent]

I know you can run frame generation on a secondary videocard but I wonder if its possible to run DLDSR on another videocard

[floral vortex]

but it never was like this since few days it is

[tidal geyser]

i know

[floral vortex]

wait will write

[tidal geyser]

i will not wait

[floral vortex]

sadge

[boreal vine]

tbf when I was looking at an upgrade I was deciding between 3070 or 3060

I'm glad I didn't go with either and waited for a 6800

[wheat torrent]

do yall think we will get another gpu this year

from anyone whatsoever

we need more 24 gb of vram gpus... (I need one)

[tidal geyser]

super

[wheat torrent]

5070 super?

[floral vortex]

arctic cooling liquid freezer iii 360
1st player ngdp850w

[tidal geyser]

probs clogged AIO

[wheat torrent]

Rumors suggest it could have 18GB of VRAM interesting

[tidal geyser]

why did you go AIO for such a cpu

[wheat torrent]

this has to be misinformation

okay 5080 super is rumored to have 24 gb of ram

[floral vortex]

I bought an assembled pc 🙈

[wheat torrent]

but let's be honest nvidia cards won't ever be at msrp

[sand epoch]

is buying r7 7700x worth it over the r5 7600x?

[floral vortex]

hm

[solar moat]

nope

[sand epoch]

because im thinking r5 7600x + 4070 or 5070 or r7 7600x and 4060

[solar moat]

if gaming

[solar moat]

gaming its 2% faster

[wheat torrent]

is 2x the mspr price normally

[sand epoch]

LMAOOO HARD PASS

[sand epoch]

it's 1.5x here

[wheat torrent]

yeah I expect like 1.5x, 2x is wild

actually it isn't wild its fucking insane

[sand epoch]

so should I go with 5070 or a amd alternative? im kinda into editting and like to use new tech

[wheat torrent]

imagine releasing a product with a price and you sell 1 product for the price of 2 products what the fuck

[sand epoch]

like the new dlss 4

[wheat torrent]

editing with dlss 4

[sand epoch]

no for gaming

i said editting and using new tech in games

mb

[wheat torrent]

you added tt in the word editing 2 times

[boreal vine]

repaste and bios reset

[floral vortex]

i did

[wheat torrent]

I would go with nvidia but those prices ehh

[boreal vine]

also the x3d chips before 9800x3d had temp issues anyways

[boreal elbow]

i have a ryzen 5 5700x if i like have multiple twitch streams open while playing games would a cpu upgrade be worth so im not hanging around 70-100 cpu usage

[wheat torrent]

nvidia offers like 3000 dollar discount for the rtx 6000 to some people/students/whatever

the low low price of 5000 dollars total 💀

[boreal vine]

yeah 5900x would be a decent upgrade

but tbh, if you're doing multi streaming, it's better to have a dedicated PC for that stuff

your main PC dedicated to playing the game,

[wheat torrent]

how do you pass the display to a secondary PC

is there some sort of expansion card designed for that

[boreal vine]

capture card

[wheat torrent]

fair

[frail delta]

Webcam pointing at the monitor

[wheat torrent]

ohhh

[frail delta]

[boreal vine]

if you have dual display on say your main PC, set the 3rd output to be a duplicate of your main gaming output, and get that 3rd output into a capture card on the second pc

[wheat torrent]

Interesting

[wheat torrent]

hop on a discord call with your second computer, screenshare, and use obs to livestream that

[boreal vine]

You can do network capture but honestly defeats the point of having two pcs

[frail delta]

Yes

[wheat torrent]

does capture cards compress the output

[boreal vine]

no?

it just takes in the input, no output at all

if there is it's mostly pass through

[wheat torrent]

interesting

[boreal vine]

fuck you warshit

[boreal vine]

but on cheap capturecards, those compresses the video

[wheat torrent]

how much is a normal capture card on average

like 50-80 bucks

[frail delta]

Google it

[tidal geyser]

no

[tidal geyser]

get a air cooler

[wheat torrent]

15-150$

👍

[floral vortex]

Is water cooling worse than air cooler?

[tidal geyser]

well in your case yea

[floral vortex]

I had one like that on my old ryzen and there were no problems, yes.
thanks

[boreal vine]

no, lmao it's better

There's something else fundamentally wrong with your build

[tidal geyser]

the watercooler

looks

to have done

[boreal vine]

highly doubt it, if it is it's going to be throttling all the time

[tidal geyser]

some clogging of the stuffing makeing him overheating

[floral vortex]

but it was fine till few days so dunno

[tidal geyser]

pump could have worn down

[tidal geyser]

anyways update the bios too

[hoary tree]

Samsung’s manager of my country’s entire customer support department has gotten in contact with me because of what happened during a repair to my phone. And I plan to give them recommendations to prevent situations like what happened during my repair from happening to anyone else. They’re also possibly going to replace the cameras on my phone free of charge probably :)

[floral vortex]

i did yestarday

[boreal vine]

I'm going to hold your hands when I say this, if an aio is blocked and clogged, it's going to immediately throttle and not go back and forth like what they initially said

[tidal geyser]

wat

no a clogg is not fully blocking

[floral vortex]

how do i check it? xd

[tidal geyser]

well it can be

but a clogg can reduce and then at some point tends to almost fully block

[boreal vine]

A clog that affects performance that bad would make it throttle, it won't make it go up and down like what he said

[tidal geyser]

it was fine when he got it now after a while its not

[boreal vine]

just check the tubes, if you feel movement / vibration then it's working just fine

[tidal geyser]

if the pump was fully broken it would stay max temp

with a clogg you would see what he has

[boreal vine]

it's also a liquid freezer iii those doesn't have clogging issues like early lf2

[hoary tree]

I’m gonna recommend them to have camera covers for every device type they repair.

[tidal geyser]

since its a brand new line

also even small manufacturing issues can cause all sorts of issues

[boreal vine]

no...

[floral vortex]

yes its movng and i feel it

[boreal vine]

straight up lying at this point

[tidal geyser]

people said the lf2 did not have issues until it did

[boreal vine]

can you send a picture of the build?

[floral vortex]

yep

[boreal vine]

if it's moving and you feel the vibration the pump is fine

you also would be able to hear it going when you remove the pump cover on the CPU block

[floral vortex]

DM?

[boreal vine]

it should just be a nice whirrring sound

no I don't do dm, post it here

[boreal vine]

except when it did, arctic released a service kit

[tidal geyser]

after enough people had issues and again lf3 really new

[boreal vine]

again, I highly doubt that it's the pump that's the issue, as those present their problem quite differently from the behaviour reported

[tidal geyser]

me to i do not think its the pump

[boreal vine]

lf3 isn't really new it's been out since 2023...

[tidal geyser]

and the lf2 is from 2019

[floral vortex]

Dunno if its fine

[lethal bay]

That’s almost identical to how I have mine set up, but my tubes are even more aggressively turned

It’s fine.

Assuming you didn’t buy day one and set the pump speed to 100% and forget it, then it’s probably fine

im not looking forward to starting work in the morning

i have to reinstall windows 11 on my test bench

as i somehow cooked this install in 2 weeks

[lethal bay]

FzR do you know how to make afterburner actually apply a profile on startup and not just pretend to?

[peak knot]

use an older afterburner lol

for what card though

[lethal bay]

5070Ti

[peak knot]

ehhhh might be a driver issue and the fact afterburner hasnt been updated in a while

[sleek ibex]

Got home early from work

[lethal bay]

I already had to do some hack-y shit in the files to unlock +3000 on the vram for it instead of the slider maxing at +2000

But yeah on startup it shows everything being applied but it’s really not

[peak knot]

me getting home early for work is standing up out of my office chair, then im teleported from work to my bedroom, despite me not moving lol

[lethal bay]

I just walked into work 🫡

I’ve straight up not benched shit since your meet lmfao

Life be busy

[fast sand]

guys whats a good clean monitor?

[floral vortex]

in bios it was on pump standart mode

[tidal geyser]

Uhmmmm

A new one?

[lethal bay]

That meaning could vary between boards ngl

[tidal geyser]

Standard = 100%

And again it was fine before

[lethal bay]

Yeah that might as well be 100% lol

[tidal geyser]

Or not, we'll in pwm mode

[floral vortex]

Xd

[tidal geyser]

In not pwm mode aka like 90% of coolers it's at 100%

[floral vortex]

Better change that or

[tidal geyser]

Not gonna do anything for ya

[lethal bay]

Sim look at the graph, above 70C it’s 100% which basically means if the cpu is doing literally anything it’ll be at 100% lol

[tidal geyser]

Like I said at the start looks to be a clogg

[tidal geyser]

Well I was thinking at idle

Either the pump is damaged due to whirlepoling I think it was called or something or its a clogg in the fins

[lethal bay]

we ball

[tidal geyser]

Geuss I was the one who had to hand hold eva

And we got our first case of a ducked lf3 in the ltt cord

[boreal vine]

nice jonsbo d41 lmao

but yeah nothing immediately wrong with it,

are you sure you used the right standoffs?

[fast sand]

I need something under 200$, mainly for gaming

[boreal vine]

are you 100% certain you put the LF3 pump into the aio pump header on your mobo?

[lucid pumice]

was wondering if anybody could give me some help on an issue with a PC ive built, it runs fine but the GPU fan wont spin (rx 5500 xt 4GB), ive tried alot fixes but nothing works :/

[tidal geyser]

just on reddit reading some stuff and someone had the same kinda username they commented on it

[lucid pumice]

lol

[tidal geyser]

if you go into adrenalin and force em to 100% at all temps they do not spin?

[lucid pumice]

nope, nothing spins

[tidal geyser]

are you sure the fans are plugged in on the card

[lucid pumice]

wdym?

[tidal geyser]

the connector for the fans on the gpu are they connected on the motherboard of the gpu

[lucid pumice]

i have no idea ngl, id assume so

[tidal geyser]

are you able to spin the fans by hand?

[tidal geyser]

take some pics

[lucid pumice]

yeah it spins by hand fine completely freely

[lucid pumice]

alright, do i need to take the fan off to do that?

[tidal geyser]

rip might be fan controller then, try and spin them when the pc is on and see if they are able to read the rpm

[tidal geyser]

no just of the card in the pc

[lucid pumice]

ive tried that it does read the rpm

[tidal geyser]

hmmmm yeah i feel like the fan controller is dead

[sinful cobalt]

Multi racial or multi racist?

[abstract wigeon]

lost it with the sakura

gotta be racist

[lucid pumice]

ah alr

this is it inside the PC

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/eye-otter-rubbing-eyes-tired-irritated-gif-16638234

[tidal geyser]

yeeaaa either the fan has given up or the fan controller

i feel like its the fan that is broke

[lucid pumice]

ah , thx for the help atleast, it still works but at 100 degrees C ish

[tidal geyser]

you can deshroud it

aka take the plastic on and zip tie a fan to it

lots and lots of people have done that

[lucid pumice]

good idea but I was hoping to sell it

[tidal geyser]

its not worth jack

[lucid pumice]

lmao

[tidal geyser]

working ones are what 40$

[lucid pumice]

i got it for £68

[tidal geyser]

yeah 3 years ago

[lucid pumice]

nah, few months ago

[tidal geyser]

no

[lucid pumice]

yes?

[true stirrup]

Unlucky

[tidal geyser]

well its not worth more then 40$

[lucid pumice]

ah

[tidal geyser]

bought one last year 2 fans and all that for 50$

[lucid pumice]

dam

well thanks for the help, just a shame its crap

[tidal geyser]

you could stick a fan on it and see if anyone would be willing to buy it if not probs not worth even trying to list

[lucid pumice]

alr

im selling as a whole build btw not just the GPU

[tidal geyser]

so is more then the gpu broken

[lucid pumice]

nope, the PC works great tbf

[tidal geyser]

well slapping that on there would mean you would need to mark it broken

[lucid pumice]

.

[tidal geyser]

might be easier to just throw out the gpu and sell that as is

no need to mark it broken

[lucid pumice]

ik u said its useless but it still can run games at decent fps, i wouldnt consider it broken

[tidal geyser]

without a working fan?

[lucid pumice]

yeah

[tidal geyser]

uhhh and it does not turn off?

[lucid pumice]

never

ive ran it for a few hours and its been fine

[tidal geyser]

huh you would still need to mark it broken since a major part is ya know broken

[lucid pumice]

yeah thats true ig

i build computers and sell em, people are PICKY you can literally say a thing and they will still come later and go o this thing has this issue, then i send a photo of where it says about that issue

like the time i sold a broken rtx 2070, i said it was broken in the title the description and ofc the tag

still got a message later saying the gpu was broken

[sinful cobalt]

shhhh, they dont know I have this trick.

“I have a gu-“

[lucid pumice]

good idea

[tidal geyser]

fyi this has been translated

and the ad itself

[sand epoch]

this or 4070 base?

4070 is more expensive here

[sinful cobalt]

this

[sinful cobalt]

ew $100+ for a display card smh

[tidal geyser]

broken in worse con as in it does not even turn on, on ebay its like 60$+ i sold it for like 60$ in better con and so on, i thought he has the stuff needed to repair it soo ofc i sold it to him as he would then have gotten like 150-200$ by selling it here

[sand epoch]

should I get the 5700x or the normal is enough? the x is 60$ more

[tidal geyser]

might have been as hard as a reball

[tidal geyser]

they are different cpus

on different architectures

[sand epoch]

wdym? both are Ryzen 5

[sinful cobalt]

-_-

[sand epoch]

oh?

[tidal geyser]

no on that too

[glacial tulip]

oy vey

[sinful cobalt]

wow 1 cable 450w spikes so real

[sand epoch]

should I go with 5700x? i might pair it with a 7800xt or 4070s in the future

[tidal geyser]

5700 is monolithic and a laptop cpu without the part that makes it a good laptop cpu aka igpu and due to having meant to have a good igpu it means it also took the place of the cache that is there on the desktop one'

[tidal geyser]

save up and get a r5 7600 or 7500f

[sand epoch]

yeah 7600 is only 20$ more than 5700x

[tidal geyser]

keep in mind the 7600 needs am5 and a ddr5

[sand epoch]

is there any reason why I can only find 16gb sticks of ddr5

i heard double channel gives more fps so I'm trying to find 8x2

[tidal geyser]

EWWWWWWWWWW

[sand epoch]

what?

[tidal geyser]

8GB ddr5 sticks are a mistake

[sand epoch]

oh?

[tidal geyser]

they were never meant for consumers

[sand epoch]

so go with single channel 16?

[tidal geyser]

what country are you in

[sand epoch]

looks good

[sand epoch]

india

[tidal geyser]

horrible

[sand epoch]

it's the cheapest I can find

[tidal geyser]

look for 2x16 6000MT ram

[sand epoch]

why would I need 32 tho

16 is enough

[tidal geyser]

not really

[sand epoch]

people on reddit always tell that 32 is overkill

[tidal geyser]

when you are spending THIS much on a pc i would at least go for 32GB

[tidal geyser]

where

[sand epoch]

im spending 1400

[tidal geyser]

yeah that is massive

i only see 16GB is the minimum and meant for budget builds then 32GB is what you should always go for

and THEN 64GB is overkill for most people

[sand epoch]

so 32gb is the new 16gb?

[solar moat]

ddr5 32GB is min

[sand epoch]

like how 16gb was enough 5 years ago

[solar moat]

due to 16GB is shit on ddr5 due to x16 or single channe;

[solar moat]

its still fine

[sand epoch]

is this good?

[solar moat]

not realy

unless your looking for jedec

[sand epoch]

what's jedec

[solar moat]

not overclock

[sand epoch]

i only play cod

i need 120 fps that's all

[solar moat]

ram matter LOADS for gaming

[sand epoch]

i think that's the cheapest 16x2 on Amazon.in

i spent too much on games and now I'm having to budget

[tidal geyser]

i said 6000MT

[sand epoch]

whats the cheapest motherboard for ryzen 5 7600 that yall would recommend? (preferably in amazon.in)

[sand epoch]

i saw one

from a company called patriot

[tidal geyser]

dat good

[tidal geyser]

cheapest motherboard

[sand epoch]

this good?

only b650m in stock rn , other company like asrock , gigabyte and asus are out of stock

[ebon marlin]

12 whole bomboclat thousands

[sand epoch]

its 20k yen

too

[ebon marlin]

20 whole bomboclat thousands

[oblique jay]

What drivers do I need to download for Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX Motherboard for a new build? if cpu matters; 7600x. Will be using wifi

Tried to look but cant find specifically

[sinful cobalt]

@tidal geyser yay nvidia driver shit itself on shutdown

[sand epoch]

@tidal geyser does 13600k need ddr5 like 7600?

[grizzled frost]

depends on the motherboard

[tidal geyser]

yes

[tidal geyser]

yes and no

[grizzled frost]

lga1700 can be ddr4 or ddr5 depending on the board

[tidal geyser]

but you would want ddr5 tho

[oblique jay]

I use ddr4 on 13600k

[latent pasture]

not need but very highly preferably go ddr5

[solar moat]

if you can get ok s8b for cheap ddr4 is still very good

[sand epoch]

so the thing is they're the same price , many people on google said 7600 better cuz cheap but only 20$ difference here lol

[tidal geyser]

its also on am5

[sand epoch]

does that help in game perfomance?

sorry i don't know many stuff

[tidal geyser]

considering the nr.1 best gaming cpu and then nr.2 best gaming cpu is on it i would imagine so

[sand epoch]

im also doing editting

still should I go from amd or intel

[tidal geyser]

me too

[grizzled frost]

9950x3d is undefeated for both gaming and editing

[sinful cobalt]

depends what mobo u have, theres ddr4 and ddr5 versions

[sinful cobalt]

ill defeat it with my bare hands
