do we?

[swift moss]

i dont tbf

the original russian audio he sounds so done with his life 😭

[crisp sun]

do any of you lads know what AIO this is??

[trim gyro]

probably a trinity

[swift moss]

bro what 😭

how do you even scam on fbm

[quaint hatch]

have some guy mail you something without getting paid idk something dumb 💀

the amount of gaslighting you would need to do would be wild

[snow kettle]

@swift moss they usually want the payment on an as is transaction like Zelle or western union, So some people fall for that. otherwise you can file a dispute on PayPal or chargeback on a credit card. Which is why scamming on fb marketplace is dumb lol. They don’t allow Zelle or western union I don’t think.

Why do windows updates take so long?

Almost 1 hour for latest update and it’s on installing 81%

Ignore the 3 gpu’s

Btw this ram is crazy

Its as fast as this ddr4 dimm

[swift moss]

I see

[steel umbra]

btw you can put a mini portable screen or a infinity mirror on your aio

you don’t have to necessarily buy that aio if you want similar effect, or case with a built in screen which is imo cooler and way more useful

[empty quartz]

[swift moss]

why are we using tht in 2025 😭

surely its not cheaper to solder these days

[solar moat]

can say same thing about 6400

[steel umbra]

is this ai upscaled?

[swift moss]

google images idk

[solar moat]

1:1 vs 2:1 the 9950x can make sense for 2:1 since it can make uses of the bandwith

since fclk at 2000mhz is 120GB/s vs 60GB/s on r5/r7 cpus

[junior valve]

corsair ml120

[steel umbra]

what is it for btw

[swift moss]

amp

[steel umbra]

what are these duh

[frozen crag]

is this normal? im playing on valorant, rust, cs2, and other mid level games but my temps keep going over 90C. Sometimes I have to lower power consumption but puts cpu performance below the average. I dont know if its the cpu/thermal paste or if the cooler is bad. The cooler is MSI Mag Coreliquid 360. Pls help

[steel umbra]

this definitely does not look like entirely ai generated

[swift moss]

transistors?

[swift moss]

LOL

looks sharpened

its a real photo i think

[steel umbra]

without labeling?

[swift moss]

fair enough

[limpid dune]

what's the CPU, and how big is the cooler?

oh mb 360

[warm sleet]

Guys

I FOUND A HUGE DEAL

[frozen crag]

R7 5800 and the cooler is 360

[warm sleet]

Absolute steel

[limpid dune]

5800??? definitely a cooler problem, that chip doesn't even need a 120mm AIO to stay cool. Busted pump? No paste?

[hidden hill]

Is this screen a gpu specific issue?

[frozen crag]

i keep repasting but doesnt change temps at all

[limpid dune]

definitely a bad AIO then, or possibly the wrong mounting hardware

[steel umbra]

the more i look at it the less i believe it is just heavily ai upscaled

[limpid dune]

the CPU and thermal paste are probably fine

[swift moss]

lol

[frozen crag]

wdym wrong mounting hardware

[limpid dune]

the wrong things used to attach the AIO to the CPU

it's a stretch, but maybe you used the AM3+ screws for the AM4 socket? they're very similar but AM3+ is shorter

[frozen crag]

I see

[junior valve]

msi cooler

its trash

[limpid dune]

if you manually push the AIO on the CPU and hold it there, see what the temps are. I suspect you have a pump problem though

[junior valve]

the mag series is known for dying

[frozen crag]

should i switch to another AIO or switch to fan?

[junior valve]

fan if you like

[frozen crag]

im pretty sure ive done it correctly

[limpid dune]

for that chip, a dual-fan will work fine

I have an AK620 on my 7900X3D and that's around the limit of that cooler, but the 5800X is a colder chip as I understand

[frozen crag]

okay thanks i might look to switching to fans

[frozen crag]

whats ur temps on that?

[junior valve]

how many wattage?

like max load

i use a nhd15 with a 13900k

[limpid dune]

120W (125 sometimes hehe) and it is 85C ish

[limpid dune]

mashallah nothing can cool that chip. The 13900K and it's binned variant the 14900K/S are just uncoolable, maaybe with a 360mm or something

[idle spear]

just got my first kinda modern gpu for like $75

[junior valve]

the d15 can, 96c after 10 mins of cinerbench

[idle spear]

rx 6500xt my overpriced king

[frozen crag]

any recs for the fan cpu cooler?

[limpid dune]

the pic shows you're throttling

[junior valve]

thats when i unlock it

[idle spear]

holy hell

[junior valve]

98c peak, 88c average

[idle spear]

mabye something is wrong under the lid

[limpid dune]

it's intel silicon, that's why 💀

[junior valve]

13900k normal operating temp is 95c

[idle spear]

what the fuck

[limpid dune]

remember LTT's video where he flowed chilled water and only got down to 70C

and still throttled sometimes

[idle spear]

hold up mabye im not tapped in to modern temps

[junior valve]

the d15 is pretty impressive nowdays

88c aint bad

[limpid dune]

13th/14th gen is just like that. Arrow lake is more reasonable (still hot tho) and Ryzen is pretty chill as always

ryzen <5000 definitely cooler than >5000 though

[frozen crag]

whats a good fan cpu cooler

[idle spear]

my ryzen gets like 40 celcius omg

[idle spear]

aliexpress

[junior valve]

its also stuffed in a small case, i could see better temps in a bigger one

[formal elbow]

Question:
I got an workstation and I'd like to check if it has enough cooling. My GPU is a tad hot lately (since it's warm outside). How do I check if I have too much intake or too little?

[limpid dune]

you can try searching newegg and just filtering by "best selling coolers"

[limpid dune]

If the parts arn't overheating, your intake is sufficient 😎

[formal elbow]

I doubt adding an extra intake or exhaust would do much difference, right?

[idle spear]

that large of a cooler for those temps is wild

[limpid dune]

Not much, I only see ~3C when I literally remove the case panels

[idle spear]

just start puting dry ice on it

[bleak ledge]

Discord broke the file attachment button on Android 😑

[limpid dune]

AM4 and LGA less than 1600 are around 80W usually, AM5 is usually ~120 to 180W, LGA-1700 usually is 300W with spikes of 400W, LGA-1851 is ~200W up to 280

do remember that 7000X3D and 5000X3D need a little extra cooling because they're being covered up internally

[idle spear]

i see why intel has fallen so much recently that kind of heat fro that price is crazy

[limpid dune]

most GPUs don't make that much heat 😭

[idle spear]

dude my crusty 570 dosnt make anywhere close

[limpid dune]

thankfully LGA-1700 chips usually have good TIM and high thermal limits (unlike FX) but still, sheesh

[azure topaz]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEwdin not games

[idle spear]

genially think its more then my combined heat

[limpid dune]

I'm building a system on an LGA-2011 board with an RX6600, that's a 90W GPU with a 140W CPU 😭

[idle spear]

wait hold up same?

[limpid dune]

games are spikey unless you're on a water cooler

[idle spear]

$5 xeon gang rise up

imposible to find good looking coolers

[limpid dune]

it's actually an i7-6800K I inherited from a relative 💀 I'm like, well, I guess this is my NAS now

[idle spear]

to me thats luxry for free

[azure topaz]

i think im lit

[limpid dune]

$5 xeon with locked turbo might be faster, but at least the i7 is free for me lmao

[idle spear]

absolute cinema

[azure topaz]

i aen it in both ways

[idle spear]

i havent got it in the mail yet but 12 cores for $5 it just might

clock speeds super low tho only like 2.2ghz

[azure topaz]

x79?

had to put it on

[idle spear]

im inspiring the ltt server

[azure topaz]

no you arent im just

[idle spear]

https://tenor.com/view/nettspend-nett-spend-plugg-laser-gif-384136205674952587

[limpid dune]

LGA-2011 is weird, the ones with >10 cores are dual-NUMA while the <=10 core ones are single-NUMA due to memory controller weirdness

so your Xeon is probably two identical copies of my i7-6800K, in a trenchcoat

[azure topaz]

i have 2690v4

[limpid dune]

this means an eight-socket LGA-2011 is sixteen NUMA domains

[idle spear]

i think its basicly a i7 3770k

[azure topaz]

i am in the tonka

[limpid dune]

GOATED I love that chip, mine could hit 5.0GHz

[idle spear]

2650 v4 with mine

[azure topaz]

my main rig is a 13900ks 🇱

[limpid dune]

good news, that's Broadwell (5th gen)

[idle spear]

better then 1700😭

[azure topaz]

idk man i think my computer is pretty great

i overclock a lot so its not no normal 1700 exploding itself

[limpid dune]

my cousin has a ryzen 1700 and I gifted it to him saying "it's kinda weak but it'll go". now he plays VR on it and I'm like, zamn, okay

[idle spear]

it litterly bottlenecks my gpu so hard 😭

need a 3060 with it

[azure topaz]

im so fr a 2650 v4r is pprobably a better pairing to a 1700 💀

[limpid dune]

my 3770K could beat a 1700 in single-thread, by a large margin

what if I just use the CPU's heat to solder the IHS on

[idle spear]

idk my 1700 gets pretty good results ill see wich one plays skyrim vr better when my junk comes in the mail

[limpid dune]

the wacky part of the 1700 is the Zeppelin chip will always need to cross chiplets for each memory action

[idle spear]

(threadripper 2990WX, showing off the early lack of I/O die)

[idle spear]

i cant wait till thread rippers are on the same price as used xeons

imagine 128 cores for like $40

just checked ebay and some are wtf

[limpid dune]

they kinda are, but the problem with old threadrippers is they don't effectively compete against modern ryzens in performance, so it's only an I/O thing

[swift moss]

dude why is kanye's new song so catchy 😭

[idle spear]

yeah and with the weird mother board probaly way less for one

[idle spear]

cousins bro cousins

[swift moss]

no the one where he talks about losing his children

[idle spear]

😭

[swift moss]

i really empathized with that although tbf i wouldnt let him near my kids either 😭

[brave brook]

not happening 😄

[swift moss]

honestly very good prices regardless

i sold my 2995wx in 2023 for 1000nzd

[limpid dune]

there are no cheap xeons that could effectively compete against my 7900X3D, even if I went dual-socket

[idle spear]

some 8core ones are like $75

[swift moss]

those are actual doodoo

[swift moss]

this

[brave brook]

you do realize the 2950x is equal in performance to 5800x and 7600x, right ?

[idle spear]

yeah probally

[limpid dune]

that's the thing

[swift moss]

and the mobo is 3x more expensive

[limpid dune]

there are 1950X available but like, 16 cores is normal now

[idle spear]

https://tenor.com/view/smile-fade-smile-fade-to-dumb-happy-to-straight-face-smile-fade-to-shock-smile-fade-to-curious-gif-16881693930466983487

[swift moss]

yeah

[brave brook]

not an issue for me, i bought it in 2018 😄

[swift moss]

i run a "28 ThReAd cPu" technically

[limpid dune]

32 zen 2 cores are performance equivalent to 16 zen 5 😭

[brave brook]

2950x is Zen+

[swift moss]

even worse

[limpid dune]

AMD is cooking so hard that their old chips are instantly obseleted 😭

[swift moss]

😭 i got the mobo + cpu for 100 off aliexpress so i aint complaining

[limpid dune]

I wouldn't even bother with LGA-2011 if my budget was more than, like, $100 and an ice cream

[sand epoch]

is this a good build?

[brave brook]

still the same

[sand epoch]

is the aio and case too expensive?

[brave brook]

i did invest into 2011-3 cause i had half-dead board

[frail delta]

@swift moss Should I grab it?

[lavish needle]

A cockroach flew at me and crawled on me but I caught it. Does it matter what SSD I get or are they all mostly good?

[idle spear]

would just fro the case

[swift moss]

looks pretty ill give it that

[limpid dune]

no GPU?

[sand epoch]

will take later

[swift moss]

honestly, put some noctuas in there and youll be fine lmfao

[frail delta]

That's essentially all it is

[swift moss]

maybe run tim berners lee web on there teehee

[frail delta]

It wouldn't get used. Way too old for that

[idle spear]

yeah kinda dose

[frail delta]

It would be a collectable

[idle spear]

how much do they want it for

[swift moss]

info.bern.ch file server :D

[lavish needle]

What should I choose for a 1tb SSD for around $70

[frail delta]

$2000AUD

[swift moss]

honestly thats totally up to you, seems a little bit too large to put on display

[limpid dune]

a cheap AM5 board + a ryzen 7600X + a small tower cooler would probably be cheaper and faster

[swift moss]

i was just about to ask the price 😭 jesus

[swift moss]

but yeah you dont really see that in a rack

[idle spear]

not to tapped into the ssd world but i feel like thats alright ish

[swift moss]

if you have a glass windows and observe your rack often go for it

[frail delta]

Novelty!

[sand epoch]

expensive here

[swift moss]

im just saying its probably quite hard to frame it on your wall :D

[frail delta]

I know where it would go at work

[swift moss]

adata very nice and budget, so is kingston

[idle spear]

[frail delta]

[swift moss]

[limpid dune]

note that that board is a DDR4 board not a DDR5, which will slow things significantly in games

that cooler is quite large, a two-tower air cooler would work for cheaper, or even a 120mm/240mm AIO

650W is probably not enough, but it depends on your GPU

that's all I can think of, otherwise OK

[swift moss]

honestly thats fair

is this local or are you looking at shipping it lol

[frail delta]

It's in Vic

$200 shipping

[swift moss]

ooh i found the listing

[swift moss]

are you nsw?

[swift moss]

honestly thats fair for what and how heavy it is lol

[frail delta]

Do a lowball offer to make mine look better

[idle spear]

that much then charging shipping💔

[frail delta]

Yeah it's definitely very subsidised

[swift moss]

bet but you are paying if they accept mine 😂

[limpid dune]

fuck it, I'll offer him $50 and tell him it's a shitty rack

[frail delta]

[swift moss]

its fine lol he'll take the highest offers anyways i think

[frail delta]

aw

what about this along with the rack

this is ebay uk though

are you yay or nae about this one

[frail delta]

Tempted to cancel and go lower on a different account

[swift moss]

real

[frail delta]

They accepted that way too fast

[idle spear]

automated or some?

[frail delta]

Not quite quick enough to be automated I don't think

[swift moss]

whats funny is half of these are dell skins lol

[swift moss]

maybe you just hire some local dude of metal prints or something

[frail delta]

They all are

[idle spear]

was about to say the same

[idle spear]

tbh like every "budget" server kinda is

[frail delta]

These aren't budget servers

They were cache boxes for Google before they had presence everywhere

[idle spear]

deaduzz?

[frail delta]

Pretty sure they also sold them with special software to search private documents

[idle spear]

actually really cool

[swift moss]

maybe ask for a copy lol

[swift moss]

not really

[frail delta]

They'd all be wiped/no drives

[swift moss]

servers arent a consumer thingy, customers have no value in skins unless specifically requested

[swift moss]

yeah no hdds for 99% of them

probably big nono to share whatever is on them

[frail delta]

Now Google just uses boring unbranded appliances

[swift moss]

tbf cost savings + they just have so many they need them mass produced and quick lol

does aws have the most "servers" rn?

im not too sure probably like between aws, azure, google and orace rn

[frail delta]

They would, yes

i think so

thats cool

What is this "1:1" and 1:2" or "gear 2" stuff?

For some context, my z790 and 12900ks died on me, i got myself a x870 and 9800x3d, i re-used the intel ram kit (which is rated for a speed of 7200mts), it booted up and works perfectly, meanwhile on the 12900ks i couldnt go past 6600mts

[tidal geyser]

Here are some of the Not sure how to define it but "best value"

[tidal geyser]

I think the break even is like 7600 or 8000

Bur there are also a lot of other factors

[golden sage]

how do i check this? i saw a youtube video saying "zentimings" is a good software

[tidal geyser]

It is

But the ram is in gear 2

[true stirrup]

Either zen timings or asrock timings configurator

[hidden charm]

Ah thanks!
So I guess whatever from 3090 to 5090 that I can find used for a good price might be worth it? 😄

[true stirrup]

I am tightening timings today lol

[tidal geyser]

You never really gave any form for info

[hidden charm]

I have a 1070 today, I just wanna upgrade my PC (I think I have a 850w SF psu so that might be a bit limiting)

[tidal geyser]

Res and cpu

[hidden charm]

might be better to buy new though because then I can buy it with company money

[golden sage]

how do i read this

[tidal geyser]

Mclk and uclk should be the same

[tidal geyser]

9070 xt

[magic ivy]

what motherboard chipset is ok for 2025?

[tidal geyser]

Oe soon 9060 xt

[golden sage]

ooo i see it now, thanks ill get to tweaking

[tidal geyser]

What????????

[magic ivy]

B550?

[tidal geyser]

Wat

[magic ivy]

motherboards have chipsets right?

[tidal geyser]

Yea?

[tidal geyser]

But they also have different cpu sockets

[magic ivy]

whats a good one for 2025

[true stirrup]

Tweaking it is fun 💯

[tidal geyser]

Ehhhh

[magic ivy]

yea mb im using AMD

[tidal geyser]

No just no

[tidal geyser]

Ams has been making cpus almost as long as intl

[abstract wigeon]

how do i use a molex fan hub to control fan speed? only got 3 pin fans but found a random hub

[magic ivy]

alr, my problem is that i dont know if the chipset B550 is good

[true stirrup]

Change the fan mode to DC in bios

[magic ivy]

idk how they work

[hidden charm]

Are AMD CPU's still a lot better bang for buck than intel?

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/g4-g4tv-aots-attack-of-the-show-just-dont-gif-24925777

[tidal geyser]

Ehhhhhhhhhh

Fan control

[hidden charm]

I have 5600x with B550-I motherboard, 32gb ram and gtx 1070.
Is it worth just buying a full new computer and selling my old one maybe?

[true stirrup]

Intel threw hard with the last 3 generations (14th and 13th gen problems + core ultra is disappointing)

[abstract wigeon]

can i change the rpm in software? or bios?

[tidal geyser]

That will he plenty fine

[tidal geyser]

Already said it

[true stirrup]

Both works
I use fan control for my DC mode fans

[hidden charm]

Yeah feels like Ryzen from like gen 5-9 has been great in comparison right?

[magic ivy]

is this good

[tidal geyser]

They just came out with gen 5

[true stirrup]

Overpriced

[abstract wigeon]

neat, so how does the mobo know how to interact with the fans? am i missing a cable or something cus its only got molex on it

[boreal vine]

wtf is amazon recommending bruh

[ivory sorrel]

Fan Control is so nice

[tidal geyser]

Is your cpu pga or lga

[hidden charm]

Ah so 9800X3D is considered gen 5?

[tidal geyser]

Yes it's zen 5

[ivory sorrel]

Whatever scam paid them money to get recommended

[magic ivy]

idk its amd tho

[rigid fjord]

most motherboards do, yes

[true stirrup]

Oh it has only molex?
No 2 or 3 pin cable on it as well?

[hidden charm]

Annoying naming convention 😂

[latent pasture]

what cpu is it

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/piddel-piddel-meme-piddel-gaming-piddel-pain-pain-gif-26176777

[magic ivy]

r7 5700x

[abstract wigeon]

molex in, fans in,

[latent pasture]

if its molex it doesnt
it just gets power or not so max speed or off

[rigid fjord]

send a pic of the fan

[abstract wigeon]

from the fan

[abstract wigeon]

which part? they are in image above

[true stirrup]

Yes this will regulate voltage

[latent pasture]

that doesnt look molex

[hybrid acorn]

Does anyone know if the i5 12500 has a "f" variant? No igpu

[rigid fjord]

these are 3 pin dc fans from the looks of it, they're not molex dc fans

[abstract wigeon]

how do you mean? as in i dont need the hub at all?

[hybrid acorn]

Can't seem to find one

[rigid fjord]

correct

[true stirrup]

You plug molex into molex and the other connector to motherboard and you are done

[abstract wigeon]

as in i cant control the rpm either way

[true stirrup]

• set the fan to DC mode

[true stirrup]

You can

[latent pasture]

oh then its optional

[abstract wigeon]

what other connector im lost sorry, theres only one connector and its molex

[tidal geyser]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1106613567966429224

Pls use dis

[abstract wigeon]

thats from the fan not the hub

[rigid fjord]

send a pic of the hub itself

[abstract wigeon]

seperate wire just overlayed

[true stirrup]

Yes exactly

That's what I'm saying

[abstract wigeon]

im lost start again sorry

[true stirrup]

You plug the molex into molex and what I circled into the motherboard

[latent pasture]

it has both 3pin and molex u just choose which u connect not both

[rigid fjord]

if you don't use the hub, the fan connects straight to the mobo

[abstract wigeon]

so whats the point of the hub if the fan isnt going into it

[rigid fjord]

hub goes in bin, then you gety a splitter and connect that to the fans andf mobo

[true stirrup]

Just ignore the hub

[latent pasture]

is that a branded hub where did u get it

[boreal vine]

recommending a bike lock for non existing bike

[abstract wigeon]

nzxt

[latent pasture]

im 99% sure theres a manual for it somewhere

[boreal vine]

fuckass hub btw

[abstract wigeon]

its long gone physically probably online though

[abstract wigeon]

i see that now yeah

i just dug it out in case i could control fan speed from the dc fans but i guess not

[latent pasture]

does the hub have ports on the side? or is it just those in the pic with 5 and 1 on the other end

[ebon jungle]

I had no idea happened to emudeck ryujinx

[ionic vine]

hey guys currently wanting to buy a monitor I'm tossing up whether to get the 27GS75Q-B (50 dollars cheaper) or the M27QA-AU. Which is better?

[abstract wigeon]

each long side is 5x 3pin, one end is 1x 3pin and the other is blank

[latent pasture]

oh i found it

https://pcper.com/2013/04/nzxts-new-grid-hub-can-consolidate-up-to-10-case-fans/
its from 2013

its literally just a fan splitter with no speed control powered by molex

[abstract wigeon]

yeah it came with my s340 iirc

[abstract wigeon]

oh well :(

[latent pasture]

12 yr old ass hub

[leaden lantern]

anyone here have an Xbox?

does minecraft not support over 60hz?

[abstract wigeon]

so any ideas how i can control rpm with these? should i buy a newer hub?

[latent pasture]

nop u cant

[tidal geyser]

yes

[latent pasture]

ye either buy a new hub or make do with how many fans ur motherboard allows

[abstract wigeon]

oh damn i thought a hub would let me

[tidal geyser]

older xbox does not support over 60hz

[abstract wigeon]

fan amount isnt the issue, i want rpm control really

[leaden lantern]

what about newer??? xbox series s/x??

[tidal geyser]

what do you have?

[rigid fjord]

it's a molex hub that just sends power to the fans, you tear it out and throw it into the bin, it's absolutely shit and useless

[leaden lantern]

I'm looking to buy.. that's y I'm asking

just got a 4k 144hz tv

[tidal geyser]

only the newer ones support it like those, just not super sure how supported it is

[latent pasture]

i dont think any console has the output cable to do 4k 144hz

[tidal geyser]

no but the s claims 1440p 120 i think

[leaden lantern]

I'm fine with 120hz even if it's 1080p

[latent pasture]

xboxes max at 4k 120 which is close enough

[leaden lantern]

it's Minecraft.. and my tv will upscale anyways

[tidal geyser]

no you're not

[latent pasture]

oh then thats easy
but y r u buying console

do u not have a pc

[leaden lantern]

i have a pc but i want the Xbox for the living room

[peak knot]

yooooo i might have just sourced an EVbot

https://www.evga.com/articles/archive/00521/default.asp

[abstract wigeon]

couldnt you just get a shitbox pc and the stream games through it

[rigid fjord]

@abstract wigeon you want a hub like this if you want to control more than 1 fan off of a fan header on the mobo https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B9J7YQTZ/

[peak knot]

one of these bad boys, they are incredibly rare to find

[abstract wigeon]

thanks ill take a look

[peak knot]

as extreme overclockers hoard the few that sold and dont let go

[tidal geyser]

HTPC why not?

install bazzite on it

[leaden lantern]

i can tbh

[tidal geyser]

bazzite da beast

[leaden lantern]

never heard of it.. I'll search it up

[tidal geyser]

dam i should really get myself a birthday present, like a tv and see if i can put it somewhere or something

[latent pasture]

lmao that advertisement point

[tidal geyser]

no clue if i have the space tho

[leaden lantern]

nonsmoking home pet free like it's an apartment💀🙏

i see those everywhere

[tidal geyser]

yeeaa ya kinda have to, if ya ever dealt with anything from a smokers home god you wanna never get close to anyone who smokes

[tidal geyser]

i should start doing that too

i cant do both well now i can do one of em legally but not gonna

[leaden lantern]

anyways short answer... xbox series s and x support 120hz for minecraft?? ik it supports 1440p 120 and 4k 120 for other games

idk y Google and chat gpt say minecraft doesn't support over 60hz

[boreal vine]

So happy new case arrives

[tidal geyser]

maybe, ngl with a console its good luck

[inland cove]

whats normal temps for a 5700x3d please? I have a Peerless Assassin 120 SE. Ive done -25 on PBO and temps in this game are 66c. when doing shaders Last of Us Shaders i was at 87c. its seems better but is this normal temps or did i maybe not sea cooler properly?

[tidal geyser]

89c

its meant to be 89c

constant

that is why the 9800X3D is so good

[latent pasture]

the cache sits between the cores and the ihs
at some point no matter what cooler its gonna stay hot just bc heat doesnt transfer fast enough

[tidal geyser]

instead of cache on top its on the bottom

[inland cove]

i had my 5600x never go above 60 really. i did see 82c once when loading up Borderelands 3.

[tidal geyser]

aka your old X3D has cache on top making it way hotter

[tidal grove]

Is there something wrong with my cpu?

Okay so basically lets say i have GTAV (or any other app) open in windowed mode not Fullscreen.If i put my cursor on the edge of the window and move it fast here and there the cpu util rises and if i keep it steady it stays at normal low usage

[tidal geyser]

i dono probs

[tidal grove]

nah like seriously

[tidal geyser]

its fine

[tidal grove]

I saw some dude once doing this on TikTok where his gpu usage kept at 15% when normal and if he moves the game window very fast it rises upto 50% or so

He says its a gpu problem

[tidal geyser]

tik tok shit tok

[tidal grove]

but main question is my cpu at risk at anyway ?

[tidal geyser]

at risk???

at risk of what, cancer?

[tidal grove]

Like a damage happened or smth..?

[tidal geyser]

eh???

[exotic nexus]

Is there a B850 motherboard that is technically better than the B850 MAG Tomahawk Max? Especially for the price point?
I bought one brand new but it's got a faulty LAN port from my troubleshooting so I plan to order a new motherboard (likely the same) and return the old one in hopes it fully works...

[tidal geyser]

b650 eagle ax

well RMA the board

[latent pasture]

price in what store/country

[exotic nexus]

£215 currently at Amazon!

[tidal geyser]

overpriced

[latent pasture]

200 for a board bruh

isnt that like x870 prices

[tidal geyser]

yes

[exotic nexus]

x870 MAG is £270, E is £300

[tidal geyser]

178$ for a x870

[latent pasture]

gigabyte is selling x870 with wifi 7 for 190

[exotic nexus]

Those prices are nowhere to be seen in the UK

[tidal geyser]

yeah just about to say

[tidal geyser]

you blind?
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/mhWJ7P/gigabyte-x870-eagle-wifi7-atx-am5-motherboard-x870-eagle-wifi7

[latent pasture]

asrock is debatable rn

[tidal geyser]

its fine

[exotic nexus]

Hm

[tidal geyser]

yea that is in the UK right?

[exotic nexus]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

that is under £200 right?

[exotic nexus]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

so those prices can be found in the UK

[latent pasture]

rma the board first
why spend effort if u can get something u alr paid for

[tidal geyser]

£122 for a board that gives the same performance https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/CvcgXL/gigabyte-b650-eagle-ax-atx-am5-motherboard-b650-eagle-ax

[exotic nexus]

Amazon only do a return not a replacement so I'd want a new motherboard in my system before I send this one off

[latent pasture]

oh

[gilded harness]

mmm should i flash my vega 56 to vega 64

[tidal geyser]

i dono up to you i guess

[tidal geyser]

just go for this board, same performance just way cheaper

[latent pasture]

it has 1gb lan while their old one had 5gb
@exotic nexus do u actually need this speed

[tidal geyser]

dam sure he does not

[swift moss]

What in the home insurance claim is this

[latent pasture]

well but if he pays for more than 1gbps, buying a mobo with less is kinda sadge

[tidal geyser]

110 for 2.5 https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/Dvhv6h/gigabyte-b650m-d3hp-ax-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b650m-d3hp-ax

[exotic nexus]

I do have gigabit internet
however, I like the four NVME slots as I have three at the moment

[tidal geyser]

3 nvme slots in use

[abstract wigeon]

wanna clean the radiator for my aio, can i just run tap ater through em?

[exotic nexus]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

what size

[exotic nexus]

standard

22mm I believe

[tidal geyser]

😐

storage size

[latent pasture]

its all asrock below the board they alr have lol

[latent pasture]

that has 4 nvme and 2.5g lan

@exotic nexus what cpu do u have

[exotic nexus]

9800X3D

[latent pasture]

[tidal geyser]

there is this board https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/4jKscf/msi-x670e-gaming-plus-wifi-atx-am5-motherboard-x670e-gaming-plus-wifi

[latent pasture]

asrock is still releasing new bioses to fix 9800x3d dying problems
even the latest one apparently still has issues

[exotic nexus]

holy usb ports

[latent pasture]

thats what they have

[tidal geyser]

a

[latent pasture]

so ye ig buy another one of it lmao

[exotic nexus]

that's my current one!
I do like it, good to put together but it's just the stupid LAN port that's broken

[tidal geyser]

fuck it https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/bGrRsY/asus-rog-strix-x670e-e-gaming-wifi-atx-am5-motherboard-rog-strix-x670e-e-gaming-wifi

[exotic nexus]

Ight bet
going for that one when it's in stock at OCUK

[tidal geyser]

(that was a joke pick)

i sorted by the most spensive one

the cheapest black board is dis https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/vjpD4D/msi-mag-b850-tomahawk-max-wifi-atx-am5-motherboard-mag-b850-tomahawk-max-wifi

[latent pasture]

ye either buy the same board again or this one is slightly cheaper

[tidal geyser]

ngl i would just go eagle ax

[exotic nexus]

The PCIE 5 on these B850 boards are 16 lanes for the GPU and another 4 for the SSD so it future proofs me if I get a motherboard/ssd (unlikely) that supports PCIE 5?

[tidal geyser]

worst case sell the 500GB one and replace it with a 8TB one or some shit

[tidal geyser]

pcie 5 is bullshit

[exotic nexus]

Fair enough

[latent pasture]

the cheaper one has still the same nvme setup

[exotic nexus]

The 850 has an additional CPU power connection on the bottom
is that in addition to the two at the top or is that an alternative for shorter cables?
(I only have 1 silly CPU power on my RM650x PSU)

[latent pasture]

actual copypaste lmao

oh the b850 one is very slightly worse with x2 on one of the chipset ones

[somber void]

What is that bottom 8 pin for

Oh i see

[exotic nexus]

Excellent question

[somber void]

Why would u need 3 of them

Its a b850 board

[somber void]

Oooh intresting

[abstract wigeon]

@rigid fjord sorry for ping but any idea if this would work for controlling rpm for dc fans? just dug it out, has usb2 and sata power so im guessing i would need the nzxt software for it

[rigid fjord]

it's an extra one for pcie power

[latent pasture]

for when u need to feed ur 225w pcie only gpu

[exotic nexus]

Understood

[rigid fjord]

toss this one out also, get one like i suggested

[latent pasture]

thats a different one

[abstract wigeon]

im just going through everything i have before buying it lol

why wouldnt this work btw?

[rigid fjord]

this will require you to use shitty software known as nzxt cam

[latent pasture]

if it takes input from mobo then wouldnt it use any software

[somber void]

More like nzxt scam

[abstract wigeon]

is nzxt cam even availible for linux? i dont mind running it 🤷‍♂️

[exotic nexus]

Why do all of these companies have horrible software?

[rigid fjord]

afaik, no, the one i suggested is controlable straight from the mobo, no extra software needed

[abstract wigeon]

its got to be on purpose

[exotic nexus]

Surely one of them can make a piece of software that is half decent

[abstract wigeon]

yeah ill probably just run them on dc for now and buy that one later then

[rigid fjord]

also i think remo's fan control works on linux maybe

[rigid fjord]

tbh, that depends on the device in question

[latent pasture]

it connects to sata power and usb 2.0 header

[abstract wigeon]

orientation of pump doesnt matter does it in an aio?

[latent pasture]

no as long as its not the highest point of the loop

[abstract wigeon]

neat

[empty quartz]

@rigid fjord I need your opinion on the system i just built

[tidal geyser]

no

only need to plug in one of the 4+4 pin cpu thingys and the bottom one do not give a shit about

[latent pasture]

the bottom one isnt even cpu

[tidal geyser]

its for pcie and it uses 6+2

i think its both meant for 150w pcie but also more pcie devices that can do more power

[empty quartz]

@tidal geyser what do you think?

[tidal geyser]

at least its a NAS

are those drives 8, 12 or i dono 18TB ones?

[empty quartz]

12

They’re helium drives tho

[tidal geyser]

yay knew it

[empty quartz]

God i love this case

[tidal geyser]

also watercooling a NAS is a move

[rigid fjord]

building a nas?

[tidal geyser]

built a NAS

[empty quartz]

Rebuilt my nas

[rigid fjord]

despite using usb, it doesn't mean that it's easily accessed by other programs, there would be a signal setup within the api so that it's specifically recognised by the manufacturers program

[rigid fjord]

ah, sweet, really clean for a nas tbf

[empty quartz]

Was originally swapping cases, but my old board died, so here we are

[rigid fjord]

sucks when that happens, buit you gotta do what you gotta do

[peak knot]

Well it’s that time again

[hybrid acorn]

@tidal geyser are those 6 sata port to m.2 cards worth using?

[peak knot]

I’m filling my ln2 tank today

[hybrid acorn]

Need more sata ports and I don't really want to give up a PCIe slot

[peak knot]

This time me and my buddy got our hands on a 4090 HOF OC lab card with some secret sauce software

[tidal geyser]

perhaps

[peak knot]

That plus some ln2 ram overclocking on z890 and we’re set for a good weekend

[hybrid acorn]

Damn where you find one for 18 bucks

[empty quartz]

Heres what it looked like before (ignore the top 3.5” hdd, i had it swapped out for some data recovery)

[hybrid acorn]

Cheapest I can find is 30

[empty quartz]

Yeah

[last valley]

Is that a fan and heat sink over the vram?

[empty quartz]

Vrm*

[last valley]

My bad lol

[tidal geyser]

https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_olCo2DU

[hybrid acorn]

Thanks

[empty quartz]

But yes, funnily enough; x79 (much like most hedt platforms) needs pretty beefy vrm heatsinks.

[somber void]

Does anybody use Asus GPU Tweak

[last valley]

@empty quartz yeah ok
But that’s a fan on there a oem thing or a add on

[empty quartz]

Oem

I actually think that dell alienware made a good decision on that

Either way tho, i am kinda upset that i have to put this beast of a board (my new to me board) into a nas

Its an evga x79 ftw

[last valley]

@empty quartz what will you go with now?

[empty quartz]

…

[empty quartz]

^

[last valley]

@empty quartz my bad looks good

[sand epoch]

is 650w enough for 12400 + 5070?

[tidal geyser]

overkill but do not go rtx 5000

[lethal bay]

stop telling people to not go 50 series lmao

[tidal geyser]

i will once most of the issues subside

[lethal bay]

Issues are dramatically overstated

[empty quartz]

Nah, buy a gtx titan z

[tidal geyser]

only a few days ago yet again did someone come by with issues

[lethal bay]

kinda biased considering the environment

you’re in a tech server, people aren’t coming here to tell you about the problems they’re not having lmao

[tidal geyser]

there are also the people in build a pc

[lethal bay]

Again, someone that comes to a server for help gives skewed info lmao

[tidal geyser]

but i do not see people with and rx 9000 cards with driver issues here

[lethal bay]

For every person that comes here with 50 series issues there’s 100 people not coming here because they don’t lol

[lethal bay]

Yeah cause all 4 people that bought them are just in a group chat together

I’m being facetious but you get my point lol

[tidal geyser]

you do know more of em were sold on launch then all rtx 5000 at that point

rx 9000 cards did not sell badly

and ofc your point are valid

[latent pasture]

its all about price

[lethal bay]

I’m js between my personal experience and the experience of several others, 50 series driver issues are dramatically overstated imo

[sand epoch]

but would that be enough? 650w

[latent pasture]

yes unless its the worst 650w on earth

[sand epoch]

i was literally about to buy the 750w cooler master and it went out of stock

[lethal bay]

It’s the same thing with RDNA 2. Tons of people had driver issues but myself and several others didn’t lol

[tidal geyser]

even Michael still claims to have issues

[tidal geyser]

i said overkill on the psu

[lethal bay]

Michael is head over heels with his 5090 now lmao

[tidal geyser]

but still claims to have issues

[latent pasture]

400w transients
should be easy for a 650w

[sand epoch]

it's even the 3.1 version

[lethal bay]

When he tried to RMA his 5070Ti he said 99% of his complaints were resolved already lol

[sand epoch]

i heard the atx 3.1 is new

[latent pasture]

its the newest
but like 3 yrs old

[tidal geyser]

i still want to give it a few months before i can really rec it

[sand epoch]

i see , would that work for me?

even if I load a 9070xt? or a 7800xt?

[lethal bay]

I just have to wonder how many people having issues aren’t DDU’ing lmao

[sand epoch]

i think a 9070xt would be a alternative to 5070 in amd

[tidal geyser]

nope not that

[sand epoch]

atleast in price here

[latent pasture]

what country u in that ur seeing 9070xt close price to 5070

[tidal geyser]

brand new pc all of it

[lethal bay]

Doesn’t mean windows didn’t install some fuckass generic driver

Especially if they have a Ryzen cpu

[tidal geyser]

it needs to do that if you want to see anything

good quality 650w should be able to handle it but if u have the money to buy 9070xt u probably have the money to buy good psu@sand epoch
its like $60 vs $100 to go from bare minimal 650w to 10 year warranty 850w that can handle 5090

[peak knot]

Getting my dewar filled today

[lethal bay]

I feel like you just go 9070XT here tbh

[tidal geyser]

o wow that makes the 9070 xt a super easy choice

[sand epoch]

o? lol

[lethal bay]

Swag. What time?

[sand epoch]

is the 9070xt way better than a 5070?

[tidal geyser]

the 9070 xt is about on par with the 5070 ti

[lethal bay]

yeah within like 5%

Ignoring efficiency lmao

[tidal geyser]

what 50w

5070 ti is like 300w and the 9070 xt like 350 or around there about

[sand epoch]

i think cooler master is the best company here selling psus

[latent pasture]

its around +25% better

[peak knot]

Sometime after 5pm tonight and I’m crashing overnight, he has the house to himself this weekend so we’re gonna drink and pour ln2

[lethal bay]

@sinful cobalt needed 360W to come close to my 280W-ish 5070Ti OC

And still didn’t beat it

[tidal geyser]

how many games?

same cpu?

[latent pasture]

im looking at pcprice tracker and bare minimum 650ws r around 4000-5000 inr while top quality decade warranty 750/850w that can handle rtx 5090 shit are around 9000-10000 inr
ur looking at spending 90 000 on gpu alone surely u have 5000 to spare?

[sinful cobalt]

???

are u shitting numbers outta ur ass

[latent pasture]

theyre not depending on the game they tested

especially if it has rt

[sinful cobalt]

RT 1440p he got 60 ish I got 70

he got 54 stock 60c and i got 71 stock 78 OC in CP2077

[tidal geyser]

o wow so not comparing fps

[peak knot]

Mac knows his hardware pretty good, he’s come out to my overclocking event I host yearly before and knows overclocking and benchmarking pretty well

[sleek ibex]

[tidal geyser]

its like saying a 4060 uses less power then a 5090 so its much better

[sinful cobalt]

saying the 5080 stock 360w not beating 5070ti 280w

[tidal geyser]

ofc not just like that but the point is it dam really does matter what game, then what fps and then what power use

[sinful cobalt]

unless he means to the starting line then yeah the 5080 stalled abit

[tidal geyser]

i think he meant the 9070 xt

[latent pasture]

and remember 5070ti alr performs better on avg

[tidal geyser]

massive power difference

[sinful cobalt]

even in timespy 9070XT gets like 33-34k at 360w while 330w 5070ti is stuck at 30-31k

[tidal geyser]

omg its so inefficient

[tidal geyser]

meh synth benchmarks is sad

[sinful cobalt]

I had an easier time undervolting the 9070XT than the 5070Ti ngl

[tidal geyser]

and i suspect a lot less issues in general

[sinful cobalt]

if it was unstable it’d just freeze

nvidia cards would just restart entirely

but ofc restarting for me is more convenient

[abstract wigeon]

can i plug my aio pump into cpu1 on my mobo? what power should i set it to be in bios

[tidal geyser]

if its just a pump 100%

[latent pasture]

what mobo

the header is the same on all of them but some call 1 pump just so its easier to show and control separately in bios

[swift moss]

Apple can honestly fuck off

[molten token]

Does anyone have experience troubleshooting fans/daisy chain links? Got a new PSU so I had to redo my rgb fans

[tidal geyser]

xd new psu and rgb wat

[lethal bay]

No tf do I need to pull up the screenshots you sent lmfao

Your OC result was lower than mine at like 70W more

Alex’s OC result

[sinful cobalt]

my stock vs OC isnt that high bcs the factory OC is already high

[lethal bay]

Mine

[sinful cobalt]

thats the 9070XT no?

[lethal bay]

Yes that’s what we’re talking about lmao

[sinful cobalt]

o

i thought u were comparing 70ti vs 80 mb

[lethal bay]

You should stream it so I can watch

[lethal bay]

no lol

[kindred talon]

Guys can someone pls help me with my k617 fizz it just stopped working the lights are working and everything but none of the keys are working 😭😭😭😭😭😢

[boreal vine]

@lethal bay you into keyboards too right?

[swift moss]

Can anyone help me translate please 😭🙏

[boreal vine]

do a reset normally FN + Space but check your manual

also if you have a trimode, set it to wired mode

[kindred talon]

Thank you but my keys are not working at all

It’s not being detected on the red dragon software anymore either

[boreal vine]

doesn't matter, it should still pick it up

look up how to reset your keyboard from the manual

[kindred talon]

Okay thank you so much I’ll try to find it

[boreal vine]

@kindred talon

FN + ESC for you

[kindred talon]

Oh wait it worked it made a light

But my keys are not working still

[molten token]

I meant like I unplugged stuff before it arrived and I’m trying to figure out how to reinstall my fan connectors to their right places

[sand epoch]

yeah

can u help me choose between these two tho?

[boreal vine]

is it bluetooth capable?

[swift moss]

99 percent of keyboards moment

My varmilo does that as well

[sand epoch]

can anyone help me choose between these two?

[swift moss]

Think my rp2040 board I coded to do that as well

Clears all Bluetooth pairings

[boreal vine]

it depends from board to board, space + FN used to be the thingy for it

[kindred talon]

Nope it’s wired keyboard

But the thing is it’s detachable cable type c

[boreal vine]

have you tried other cables?

and restarting your PC ofc

[lethal bay]

Kinda? Maybe? I bought a Wooting 60He and never looked back lmao

[boreal vine]

fair

I was just gonna say I bought a new case lmao

[kindred talon]

Tried yep . And for the other cables I think in the manual from what I remember (I can’t find it anymore) it said don’t use other cables

[boreal vine]

it's KBDfans Frosted Acrylic

5 Degrees case

[boreal vine]

Are you certain it's not wireless capable?

[kindred talon]

Yes im pretty sure

Because when I unplug it it doesn’t have any power

[boreal vine]

does it have any switch or anythig at the bottom?

I mean we tried the usual fixes, it might be a byebye for your keyboard 🫡

keyboard very funny hihi

[kindred talon]

😭😭😭

I just got this keyboard man

Not even 6 months

[boreal vine]

Redragon moment

go get ur money back miss girl

[kindred talon]

I thought I could trust them I literally used a wired keyboard from them with no issues for like 3 years

Thank you so much for your help

[boreal vine]

Look for ajazz

they're pretty good

if you want a budget premium keyboard look at rainy 65 / lucky65

good boards

[kindred talon]

Thank you I just want something that has those 0.1ms switches as I like to play FPS games a lot . Also about my keyboard it literally is switching colors when I press fn alt this is so confusing

[boreal vine]

honestly the HZ doesn't matter on keyboards

once you're at like 1k, you're pretty much there

take this from someone who plays OW alot and owns an HE board as well as an 8k MX board

[kindred talon]

Yeah true but I could rly feel a difference compared to my previous one so that’s why I am kinda attached to this keyboard. And thank you which model specifically should I get you think?

[boreal vine]

I'd rather have a split spacebar layout as that would give me more advantage

Example:

[boreal vine]

AK820 from ajazz is good

you can swap out the caps and switches after

[kindred talon]

This looks amazing omg

[boreal vine]

but if you do want a good board go for the AK820 pro, that's already pretty good out of the box

base ak820 switches kinda meh

[kindred talon]

Tbh i don’t really mind the looks, i just rly wanna focus on the performance but at the same time i need something that’s actual good quality like what you recommended

[boreal vine]

but the pro version has good switches

[kindred talon]

Okayyy

[boreal vine]

wait till you see my otherboards 🙂

[kindred talon]

😭😭there’s better than this ???

[kindred talon]

Holy that looks amazing

Do you go for switches or looks more ??

[kindred talon]

You built all of these?? 😭

[boreal vine]

yeah lmao

I have a small collection

[kindred talon]

Tbh that does not look like a small collection to me like I barely have any keyboards but still wow these keyboards look amazing

These are all from the same company ?

[boreal vine]

get lucky 65 guy, it's good

[boreal vine]

no, they're all different

here's the list

[kindred talon]

Oh wow okay thank you

Which ones are based on performance most ?

Also could you come dms I just found smth in my device manager not sure if you know anything about it

[boreal vine]

Is there an error on device manager?

I don't do DMS just send it here

[kindred talon]

Oh

Yeah there is but I don’t have pic perms

NVM I CAN

[boreal vine]

press rightclick on it

and disable and reenable it again

[devout oxide]

Chat I just ordered a keyboard

https://www.monsgeek.com/product/m1-v5-tmr-fully-assembled/

[sinful cobalt]

that is not small bro

[kindred talon]

Didn’t work 😭😭

[boreal vine]

have you tried other ports?

[boreal vine]

good board

it's TMR as well

[devout oxide]

What’s that

[kindred talon]

Omg I just tried a diff wire and it worked

But idk if that’s gonna affect anything

[boreal vine]

different sensor than HE

[devout oxide]

Is it better

[boreal vine]

yes it's much more precise than HE on paper

problem with HE is that the sensor gets warm and when they get warm the sensors get less effective

but TMR doesn't suffer this issue

[devout oxide]

I see

[boreal vine]

HE works by measuring the voltage going out of the sensor, this voltage changes depending on how close a magnet is from the sensor

meanwhile TMR works by measuring the resistance within the sensor, this is done by calculating the value of resistance proportional to the magnetic fields

[latent pasture]

mmm encountered a specimen in another server that said their samsung 980 being dramless causes their games to crash and that buying sn850x solved it bc it has dram
didnt even reply to that one lmao

[boreal vine]

TMRs are so interesting

@tidal geyser i'm just now realizing how many adapters and cables i need to be able to run 21 hdds

2 hbas, breakout cables, a bunch of sata power cables

[alpine heron]

These fans are driving me crazy

They just sound awful, they're not loud, it's just they sound really bad as soon as you get them above like 700-800rpm

Update II: hasn’t been fixed, if anything the data connection is barely existing during the day, and works a little better if you’re near the neighboring cells. But where we’re at, it’s basically LTE/n71 5G for the most part. n25 is completely useless on my FWA at the moment.

Lol damn. Those speeds are garbage

[lapis talon]

I'm going to repaste my CPU, what paste should I use

[silent cypress]

thermal paste

[lapis talon]

Which one though

I'll probably repaste my gpu as I'll sell it soon

How's the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut or the Noctua NT-H2

[random gyro]

A glass smashed ontop my pc, the top of my pc has a magnetic mesh cover, do I take the cover off? Brush it off the cover first? What do I do?

[silent cypress]

ohh

[raven scroll]

These things, this one specifically is from ikea

[lapis talon]

Anyone

[silent cypress]

clear shards first

[random gyro]

The big ones are cleared, but how do I ensure none got in the pc?

[silent cypress]

look around inside

[tidal geyser]

Remember sas and sata are 2 different things

Sas also semi needs a backplane
