[granite sundial]

i like black alphas with coloured legend a lot

Get dolch colourway

[clear canyon]

Look that these that I got: https://a.co/d/5ylZWBP

[boreal vine]

[granite sundial]

i dont like dolch

i like coloured mods with symbols on them

[boreal vine]

icl chief, this lowkey looks bad 😭

it looks like papyrus

[azure topaz]

OH BABY

[clear canyon]

They look and feel great irl

[azure topaz]

yea may as well get in the inventory

[clear canyon]

Vega 56?

[boreal vine]

😭

[granite sundial]

ive got a month or so to find a set i like on secondary

[azure topaz]

why in the world would there be a liquid cooled vega 56

[granite sundial]

before my neo65 should arrive

[rigid fjord]

at least it's not dwarven

[opaque venture]

beautiful.

[azure topaz]

yeah except its kinda shit and he wants it for a shit price

and also i do not want an aio card thats kinda scary

[tidal geyser]

is dat radeon VII

[boreal vine]

OH I was actually planning on buying that LMAO

[azure topaz]

V64 LC LE

[tidal geyser]

buuu

[opaque venture]

my favorite GPU aesthetic ever is the vega blue frontier edition

[boreal vine]

@rigid fjord

[azure topaz]

i like it

[granite sundial]

also whats up with so many sets having dual printed latin/hiragana alphas

[rigid fjord]

that looks to be elven not dwarven

[granite sundial]

damn weebs

[opaque venture]

HBM2 memory was such a cool concept

[boreal vine]

🤓

[azure topaz]

hbm memory is still a cool thing dont act like its not real 😭

[boreal vine]

ngl, I hate caps with subs, they look cheap af to me

[opaque venture]

never really caught on tho in mainstream

[rigid fjord]

dwarven

[azure topaz]

it did NOT go bye bye

[granite sundial]

hbm memory in a consumer product was unique

[azure topaz]

yes

[clear canyon]

Majin buu?

[boreal vine]

OH OH I know a set that's like this

I fogor the name

[granite sundial]

i saw one that had the binary version of each letter that was cool idk the name though

[azure topaz]

dont sneak diss my hbm memory

[boreal vine]

it's from the same people

[opaque venture]

not really common in consumer cards anymore

[rigid fjord]

if you want to fuck with people, dwarven rune font from games

[clear canyon]

Clean

[azure topaz]

absolutely but its still great

[rigid fjord]

dwarven rune font

[opaque venture]

i agree it is a really cool technology

a lot of engineering went into it

[azure topaz]

im gonna steal somenes computer off fbm idek

[opaque venture]

HBM2 was ahead of its time for sure

[tidal geyser]

if nvidia did it for their consumer cards they would be the king of ai for consumers

[boreal vine]

my fav set ❤️

[clear canyon]

They are either way rn

[tidal geyser]

well more so

[azure topaz]

so does a flopper buy a 5080 or 5070ti

[clear canyon]

Its very clean, how many pennies

[tidal geyser]

good luck either way

[clear canyon]

Gt 210

[tidal geyser]

just gonna say it again nvidia still have not fixed even close to enough of the issues

[tidal geyser]

4090

[clear canyon]

Nvidia is an issue lol

[azure topaz]

thats not even close to the same price as either are you stupid

[boreal vine]

https://tenor.com/view/kto-kounotoritoken-kounotori-lbow-storkholders-gif-25676349

[azure topaz]

ones 900$ the others 1400$ and the other is 2100$

[clear canyon]

Gt210

[tidal geyser]

at least it has stable drivers

well can use em

[clear canyon]

You know what else has stable drivers? Gt210

[brave brook]

nvidia in consumer segment does the absolute minimum it needs to without need tu keep around outdated tech. the only reason we got 5090, 5080 etc is because they needed the tech for AI products and consumer products are just a byproduct of that

[hexed sage]

anyone know why my pc rgb only works half the time 😭

[tidal geyser]

yes

[hexed sage]

why

[clear canyon]

They should make more Gt210

[tidal geyser]

you

[left dove]

because you still care about it

[hexed sage]

what i do?

[clear canyon]

Software prob

[tidal geyser]

o yeah fun fact i got a passive cooled gt 730

[tidal geyser]

fix it you shall do

[left dove]

DEATH TO RGB

[hexed sage]

I care abou tit so i can see in dark

[tidal geyser]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1027757333117415424

[hexed sage]

its actually not tied to software 🤓

[clear canyon]

Then check ur connections

[hexed sage]

dont know what i would be checking for

[clear canyon]

?

The connections?

[hexed sage]

i didnt build my computer 😭

I bought a prebuilt cause I found a good deal on it

$600

[tidal geyser]

considering some of the stuff aint working probs not that good

[tidal geyser]

specs

[hexed sage]

everything else is working fine its just the rgb

it was preowned thats probably why they sold it

[clear canyon]

I pray it has a gt210

[hexed sage]

4060, i7 12700f, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd

it also has an AIO

[tidal geyser]

wtf

[clear canyon]

Upgrade to a gt210 and ur solid

[tidal geyser]

600$ for that HOW WTF

[hexed sage]

like I said, good deal

[clear canyon]

Yeah, good find

[hexed sage]

bet

[clear canyon]

I was joking BTW, dont do that

[hexed sage]

too late

I already sold my 4060, gt210 is here

[clear canyon]

Good

Gt210 supreme

[hexed sage]

is that a tacobell item

[clear canyon]

If it was it would be #1 seller

[tidal geyser]

i wonder what i can do with my gt 730

[hexed sage]

drinking baja blast with my gt210 supreme

[clear canyon]

Attack someone with it

[clear canyon]

Living the life

[tidal geyser]

tbf its passive so should be possible

[hexed sage]

how do i check my cl?

[tidal geyser]

hwinfo

[tidal geyser]

but why

[hexed sage]

is that a software

[tidal geyser]

no its cheese

[hexed sage]

idk it would be good to know probably

[tidal geyser]

its cl16 anyways

[tidal geyser]

nau

[hexed sage]

understandable have a great day

[hexed sage]

oh 😭

so its good but not the best

[tidal geyser]

wat

[tidal geyser]

what is better cl16 or cl26

[hexed sage]

wait

cl16

[tidal geyser]

nope

[hexed sage]

it has smth to do with divison

[rigid fjord]

he isn't wrong exactly dude

[hexed sage]

you divide your mt by your cl

[tidal geyser]

ddr4 3200 cl16 vs ddr5 6000 cl26

[terse sparrow]

Close the window, you're letting the wifi out.

[rigid fjord]

3200 cl14 does exist

[hexed sage]

3200 cl16 fs

[clear canyon]

Yeh

[tidal geyser]

3200MT cl22 is jedec

[hexed sage]

6000 cl26 seems mega unstable ngl

[tidal geyser]

nope

[azure topaz]

😭

also floppy sad since we are only looking at primary

[azure topaz]

useless

[tidal geyser]

i do this to make you feel pain

[azure topaz]

to be fair i have a 7200 c30 daily for epeen

[tidal geyser]

epeen

[azure topaz]

like thats seriously what my computer has been running

[harsh vector]

I upgraded my mobo and cpu. I now can't search for Steam games in the Windows Search bar. Any fixes?

[tidal geyser]

im just doing 6400MT well 3200 uclk and mclk 1:1

[tidal geyser]

you should anyways reinstall windows

[boreal vine]

@clear canyon

[tidal geyser]

but i would anyways just use steam itself

[harsh vector]

huh wdym

I just recently reinstalled windows.

[azure topaz]

well you also just recently changed your entire hardware configuration

[harsh vector]

what do I do now

[clear canyon]

Ooo, that looks like its gonna be a good one

[hexed sage]

I ❤️ random plastic doohickeys

[hidden hill]

Anyone know a really good quality microphone for discord

At Best Buy

[clear canyon]

Yes, but idk if its at best buy

[boreal vine]

mmm yummy

[terse sparrow]

i just use a cheap Fifine one. Cost me like £25

[clear canyon]

https://a.co/d/dJOXdeR

[clear canyon]

Thats dope, how does it sound

[boreal vine]

pretty good

[clear canyon]

I use the one i just linked, its 100 usd

[boreal vine]

I've got gummy oring mount on it right now

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/maybe-send-me-a-video-jonah-marais-cameo-send-me-a-footage-send-me-a-video-recording-gif-18006263

[terse sparrow]

i dont need a studio microphone to call my friends mean words

[hidden hill]

Voice quality would be really good?

[boreal vine]

@clear canyon

[hidden hill]

I use speakers so ideally it wouldn’t pick up too much background, crisp would help too

[boreal vine]

pretty sure the slurs I would call the enemy team comes across pretty well on a 5$ mic

https://tenor.com/view/birmingham-danny-g-average-british-citizen-british-uk-gif-5883114680171836106

[terse sparrow]

[rigid fjord]

pretty sure any slurs i use in a game results in instant muting for 3 days all the time

[terse sparrow]

slurs are bad people

peace and love or some shit

[ripe sable]

Wich USB port Should i use for the fastest, i currwntly use the one that says bios on it for the keyboard

[granite sundial]

are there any microphone arms that will fit on a 5" desk or do i need to get one u mount with a drill

[terse sparrow]

blue ones. or anything reall that has the "SS" next to it

[granite sundial]

motherboard manual should have all the specs of the ports

[terse sparrow]

^this also

[granite sundial]

some manufacturers dont adhere to the spec for colours of ... tongues?

[terse sparrow]

yeah good point

Im looking at you Razer! xD

[hidden hill]

Any idea how this is?

[rigid fjord]

ABSOLUTE TRASH

[terse sparrow]

Yeah dont buy the "gamer" stuff. Its usually e-waste

[hidden hill]

Can’t find the professional mics here

[boreal vine]

it glows

[frank forum]

its defo not worth that i used to have one

[terse sparrow]

could probably get a better mic online for half the price of that razer garbage

[covert zenith]

can someone help me with a stuttering and freezing issue?

[frank forum]

I switched from the razer mic to fifine am8

[hidden hill]

Any of these?

[frank forum]

Wave 3 is a great mic

[hidden hill]

Not super cheap but yeah I might order Thai

Wave neo any good?

[livid fern]

https://www.tomshardware.com/peripherals/microphones/elgato-wave-neo-review

Its fine. Solid

Sound is good

I mean for 64$ very solid deal

[hidden hill]

I have a yeti nano right now

But I really want super crisp audio

The yeti nano sounds kinda ass

[frigid blade]

$120 for a mic is wild

[hidden hill]

Yeah it better sound insanely clean

[frigid blade]

Mine was $10

And it doesn’t even sound bad

[hidden hill]

Is the yeti nano supposed to sound better than how I have it? Sounds like an average headset mic when I hear my audio

[frigid blade]

You can make your own high quality usb mic for cheap that are better than most high end ones

[granite sundial]

almost anything thats gamer branded for peripherals is a total waste of money

[hidden hill]

Is Elgato gamer branded? Its streamer ish

[latent pasture]

do u record anything actually important enough to buy a mic for

[knotty iris]

Eh it depends

[granite sundial]

elgato isnt gamer branded but its still pricy

[latent pasture]

for most voice comms ur trash that comes with headphones or pc is enough

[frigid blade]

My headphone mic is so bad

[hidden hill]

No I just want to sound clean

[granite sundial]

its gonna get crushed by some garbage voice chat codec anyway

[frigid blade]

My old ass laptop has a better mic

[latent pasture]

ur multiplayer game is gonna crush it down to 32kbps anyway

[frigid blade]

Have you ever sat in a vc with the bitrate lowered?

It’s funny

I like that they added that feature to vc settings

[hidden hill]

Is it possible that the yeti nano could sound good but I just have it set up bad?

I don’t use any microphone software

[granite sundial]

what sounds bad about it

[tidal geyser]

like many many many years ago yea

[latent pasture]

software background noise removal and other optimizations etc etc have gotten so good that even my laptop's default external mic from like 2ft+ away can do my voice clearly

[clear canyon]

Yes

[granite sundial]

yeah its crazy how good entry level tech for so many things is nowadays

[frigid blade]

Wow

I forgot I was churning bank bonuses a few months back

I just got my bonus

[granite sundial]

mechnical keyboards are so cheap now

[clear canyon]

I like it

[hidden hill]

It has that staticky sound like it’s coming from a headset mic

[lapis talon]

Tysmmm

[bronze summit]

The gold standard now is HE Keyboards but then again there's really no harm in MechKeys

[granite sundial]

i dont really get the benefits of HE

adjustable actuation point is cool but how many people actually adjust it

[bronze summit]

I often adjust it mainly because I do typing, competitive Tetris and fps games

[granite sundial]

yeah maybe thats why i do a combination of typing and almost all singleplayer games

so im happy with tactiles as a middle ground

[boreal vine]

he isn't really the gold standard, maybe on gaming keyboards

[bronze summit]

Look if it helps for context

My end game keyboard isn't an HE

It's an HHKB/Topre

I just bought an HE because It was an impulse purchase

[boreal vine]

the context being?

[boreal vine]

I've seen some cheap topre going about recently

pretty good stuff, but I think they're abit overglazed, they're normally prohibitably expensive for the EC versions, and they don't really offer that much of a benefit over MX

[bronze summit]

I was planning on buying another mechanical keyboard but I got tired of buying shit for cosmetics, the 80HE at the time seemed to be the "New Standard of Gaming Keyboards"

[granite sundial]

are there any other benefits?

[boreal vine]

you can get silent switchers like daydreamer tactiles that feels the same as topre

[granite sundial]

wooting has been the gaming keyboard of all time for years

[bronze summit]

Pretty good quality, good customer support, but other than that there's nothing I can say

[boreal vine]

lmao that's bold, wooting wants to be the standard when it simply won't due to how they positioned themselves in the market

[granite sundial]

of HE

[bronze summit]

There's cheaper alternatives.

[bronze summit]

I fell for marketing (YouTube Reviews) tbh and also some of the members here approve of it so I bought it

Like I said impulse purchase

[boreal vine]

enthusiast doesn't want them, they'd rather have venom HE parts

[granite sundial]

my controller has hall effect sticks and theyre very nice, very smooth and responsive with no deadzone

[boreal vine]

budget gamers doesn't want them because there's alot of other better priced HE boards in the market

[bronze summit]

I personally treat the Wooting as it is, no modifications

[boreal vine]

they're extremely dogshit as is

[bronze summit]

[boreal vine]

plastic case for that price is crazy

[bronze summit]

I can't really say or do anything, I'm too lazy to sell my shit

[granite sundial]

yeah if u really want a prebuilt HE get a keychron

[boreal vine]

if you want a decent HE option in proper tkl format tigerlite gaming is a good pick, all together after the build it would be something like 150 all together

[bronze summit]

And I'm used to the 80HE already, if it becomes obsolete or gets thrown under the bus and it gets crushed I'll buy a replacement

[abstract palm]

Can someone tell me how much V ups I should get. I have a 850w power supply and a monitor

[granite sundial]

im surprised how many csgo players still use full size keyboards when they have keyboards sideways and shit to get more mousepad space

[bronze summit]

But for now it works, I've had it for a few months and it keeps me on edge.

[granite sundial]

why do u need a ups for the monitor lol

[boreal vine]

128 for everything, then just buy whatever keycap you want

it's a nice ABS case, with proper TKL format

[granite sundial]

what keycap brands are actually worth the money

[bronze summit]

None

[boreal vine]

you can even go tsangan on the thing if you really want to

[bronze summit]

lmao

[boreal vine]

depends what you call worth

[hollow jungle]

https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2025/05/world-record-as-1-02-petabits-per-second-sent-over-1808km-of-optical-fibre.html

[bronze summit]

There's going to be defects in some brands just go for the one that strikes your fancy

[granite sundial]

best quality at their given price range

[boreal vine]

for most people I recommend aifei sets, they're not badly priced and they're decently priced

[bronze summit]

The only thing I regret about my 80HE Purchase

Is the lack of aftermarket parts

We only have one aftermarket case and that's it

[boreal vine]

Aifei / XMI are pretty good

[boreal vine]

... you're actually just making shit up at this point

😭

[bronze summit]

???????????

[granite sundial]

u dont need an aftermarket case if u hadnt spent 300 dollars on a plastic case

[bronze summit]

I only spent 200

[boreal vine]

there's a shit ton of after market switches available for it as well as plate

[granite sundial]

its 330 aud + shipping here

[boreal vine]

wouldn't even bother with the plate as it's HE, but theres a fuck ton of switches for it

not as much as MX, but a considerable amount, if you want tactile you can go for something like raeds

[bronze summit]

Switches, Plates, Keycaps and Cables yes, I'm talking about the case, there's only one aftermarket case I thought there would be more 😭 over the following months

[granite sundial]

cables? is it not usb c?

[bronze summit]

It has an adapter

[boreal vine]

bone80, GT80

[granite sundial]

idk from what i know polling rate is the main draw

cuz with 500+ fps youre getting less than 2 polls per frame average on 1khz

[boreal vine]

he for keyboards is generally overhyped

[granite sundial]

where u want 4+ polls per frame ideally iirc

[bronze summit]

[boreal vine]

they see "fastest" gaming keyboards and they think it would make them the next shroud / simple

[granite sundial]

yeah

[bronze summit]

I don't really appreciate the snide

[granite sundial]

never see them buy the 1500 dollar 600hz tn monitor though

[bronze summit]

So I'm getting off

[boreal vine]

maybe tariff affecting you? @bronze summit

if you live in the US

[bronze summit]

Listing error

[granite sundial]

lemme check for me

[boreal vine]

ah

[granite sundial]

red is 263.69 aud

[boreal vine]

Still, for the case price, you can quite literally get a tiger lite gaming 😭

[bronze summit]

But yea maybe you have a different perspective but this just feels like snide towards me for purchasing a Wooting 80HE, so I'm personally getting off

[grizzled frost]

is there anything wrong with an adapter like this

i really need more sata power

[granite sundial]

8 pin on the psu end? i dont think so

[boreal vine]

buying the fastest gaming keyboard while playing on a 4060 🥀

[granite sundial]

other way would be a lot more questionable

gpu doesnt matter if ur playing cs at 1080p lol

[boreal vine]

Wild, it's basically taking in the 12v and bringing it down to 5v and 3.3v

[latent pasture]

as long as the conversion is correct i dont see why not

[bronze summit]

I only know one streamer who plays on a dual mode hyper giga shit Monitor

[boreal vine]

what PSU are you using?

[bronze summit]

And he's retired already

[tidal geyser]

WHAT THA FUC

[granite sundial]

if u have molex that would probably be better because it wouldnt require voltage being stepped down

[boreal vine]

can't imagine why

didn't tenz come out of retirement to play for someone only to lose?

[tidal geyser]

you would rather want something like this

[latent pasture]

i thought it doesnt matter if it extends off the psus own 8pin cable

[bronze summit]

Because he had a successful career as a CS pro and decided to retire on his own accord as he's way past his prime age and to focus on his wife and kids.

[granite sundial]

yeah how much sata power do u need lol my psu has 8

[latent pasture]

actually nvm

[tidal geyser]

fyi cpu is 12v only

[boreal vine]

no it might just be worth getting some cables for the psu rather than getting soemthing like that

[tidal geyser]

if you got 5v drives like a SSD or something and that adapter FAILS GG

[granite sundial]

molex to sata would be way less sketchy

[tidal geyser]

or sata to sata

[boreal vine]

did n0thing even have a prime?

[granite sundial]

drives would be fine with sata to sata

pump i would want on its own cable

[tidal geyser]

eh why

[bronze summit]

Mainly during 1.6 and 2016-2018 if you count Cloud9's shenanigans

[tidal geyser]

a pump uses less power then most HDDs

[granite sundial]

oh nvm d5 draws less power than i thought

[boreal vine]

I've seen him transfer to liquid iirc

[granite sundial]

less than 10 watts thats nuts for the flow it gets

[boreal vine]

oh nvm I'm mistaken, apparently not

[rigid fjord]

yes, so much wrong,

[tidal geyser]

my HDDs each use like 11w

[bronze summit]

But then again his achievements gets overlapped by CS Pros now

[grizzled frost]

i decided to get 1 additional sata power cable that directly connects to my psu (it’s compatible, i checked) and then some 1:2 splitters

[bronze summit]

No trophies

[grizzled frost]

they should be low power draw drives

[bronze summit]

Still my goat

[tidal geyser]

most PSUs should be able to do like 3 to 4 sata thingys each with like 6 ports

[rigid fjord]

@grizzled frostget this type of extension, and make sure its the same as what's in the picture that sim posted

[bronze summit]

Although I will not pay 20$ for his CSGO class lmao

[boreal vine]

"successful is a stretch"

😭

[boreal vine]

people actually pay for ts?

[grizzled frost]

mine only has 4 sata/molex power connectors on the psu, and each cable only has 4 sata power cables coming off

[bronze summit]

Some did, although I personally just prefer watching shit for free

[grizzled frost]

i’m also already using 1 full psu port, and i need 21 more sata power cables

[tidal geyser]

well you can buy other ones

[rigid fjord]

a hdd let alone sata ssd doesn't draw enough to put a strain on a single sata connectore

[boreal vine]

I stopped caring about cs ever since cs2 came out, none of the shooting feels the same

[grizzled frost]

trying to keep the price to a minimum, it’s a good psu anyways

[tidal geyser]

OMG this is for the 500GB sas drives aint it

[boreal vine]

it feels extremely off, I've never seriously played it since it came out

[bronze summit]

I play CS2 sometimes since I like MM

[grizzled frost]

mayhaps

[tidal geyser]

look what is coming soon :3

[bronze summit]

But generally I play CS 1.6

Mostly when someone needs one more player for pugs

[tidal geyser]

what psu you got

[rigid fjord]

if only the male end was clipped as well

[grizzled frost]

this is what i’m gonna order

[tidal geyser]

ik but this was the best i got on ali

[grizzled frost]

coolermaster mwe gold 850 v2

[boreal vine]

I do wish they just separated cs2 and csgo

[grizzled frost]

(this gives me exactly 21 sata power)

[bronze summit]

I also wish that but how are we going to see our skins!!!!

[granite sundial]

just make sure its compatible with ur psu different brands and models within brands often use different pinouts

[boreal vine]

just buy a cable or bother coolermaster

[grizzled frost]

Yeah i verified that bit

[boreal vine]

yeah like I get why they did it, but it still doesn't make it any less shitty

[grizzled frost]

how sinful is it to tape hard drives together

[granite sundial]

very

[grizzled frost]

(i ain’t got room in my chassis)

[rigid fjord]

those 'Y' splitters, don't touch

[boreal vine]

they fear that the playerbase would get separated again like the transition from source to go

[granite sundial]

please just 3d print a mount

[grizzled frost]

ik, it’s 5 1:2 splitters

[rigid fjord]

very, hdd's aren't like ssd's

[grizzled frost]

ain’t got no 3d printers

[rigid fjord]

aka 'Y' splitters

[bronze summit]

Alright I know you've been sniding at me but I'm going to say something pretty obvious:

I miss CSGO mainly because, I have a consistent 512fps (capped) in that game.

In this game I can't even have a consistent 300fps capped without it randomly dropping or changing numbers

[grizzled frost]

this is only somewhat cursed, i promise

the most cursed part is the 146gb per hdd capacity on the low end

(mix of 500/300/146gb drives)

[rigid fjord]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BY8VZ9ZC/
or alternatively
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBLBJKXF/
are the kind of splitters you should get

[boreal vine]

sniding at you?

I'm just trying to have a regular conversation 🥀

[grizzled frost]

i thought molex to sata was taboo

or is that just an antiquated idea

[rigid fjord]

only if it's a sealed spliter/adapter

[boreal vine]

I hate cs2 because of the way shooting feels, it feels unresponsive, like there's a noticable delay between the actions you do on screen and what actually registers, I believe this is due to the way it registers hit

subtick feels genuinely crap

[bronze summit]

It feels like snide, that's mainly why I'm reluctant on talking to you most of the times now

[boreal vine]

oh didn't mean it that way, i'm sorry

[grizzled frost]

is it bad to use 3 of those molex to 5x sata on a single molex cable?

[bronze summit]

Like I get it I'm an idiot, but I generally feel off when talking to you

[sleek ibex]

[grizzled frost]

idk if that power draw would be too high or not

[bronze summit]

I don't know maybe it's just me but it feels weird talking to you now

[boreal vine]

sorry for making you feel that way, I don't mean / intend to, genuinely

[rigid fjord]

@grizzled frost these are a no-no due to how they're sealed as it hides the connectors internally if they've been soldered or not, and if they short out

[grizzled frost]

so the exact ones you linked are okay?

the second link in your message to be specific

[rigid fjord]

the issue is more if they're the ones in the second picture, many aren't made correctly and do short out

[grizzled frost]

mkay, i’ll just get the molex to sata then

3 of em will gimme the number of sata power i need

[rigid fjord]

yes, individually crimped, and through that, also not sealed so you can see how they're connected

[grizzled frost]

a bit cheaper than my og idea, nice

order placed, much obliged

[rigid fjord]

molex handles like 150w easily, so you could shove way more drives on it

[grizzled frost]

sweet, just wanted to be safe

i’m all for stupid ideas, but i don’t like unsafe ones

though compared to what else i’m doing the molex to sata is tame

[rigid fjord]

molex to sata single extension, crimped only, and less likely to short

[bronze summit]

Does anyone have that gif of the optimal fans for cases?

Optimal airflow*

[boreal vine]

very important gif

[bronze summit]

Looks a lot like my case lol hold on

[boreal vine]

add it to your favorites

[grizzled frost]

holy data

16 sas 8 sata

[rigid fjord]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012BPLW08/ extensions i've used exactly but on amazon usa @grizzled frost

[rigid fjord]

that a 4u rack case ?

[grizzled frost]

mhm

not a particularly good one mind you, but it works

[rigid fjord]

i've modified this one so i could run 8 drives off of a single cable

[bronze summit]

So the main goal of the upgrade is to improve thermals slightly while giving more air

I fucking hate when I can't do remixes on pc discord

[serene citrus]

I bought this anti-sag bracket, but it only reaches about 2/3rd of my GPU. Would it suffice against sagging?

Or does it have to reach closer to the end?

[rigid fjord]

it would help a little bit

[bronze summit]

only thing I don't know where to go offo n is

AIO or 3 fans for the top

[boreal vine]

aio would be good for this

on the top 🙂

[carmine light]

well thats an unusual problem

[boreal vine]

if you want the best performance mount the aio on the front @bronze summit

[serene citrus]

A bit? So I have to find a better solution?

[rancid fox]

I need help about this :
Will this vertical mount work with Lian Li O11 Vision ?

[tidal geyser]

cheese

[tidal geyser]

i think you have used more in lsi cards then what those HDDs are worth

[opaque venture]

so apparently for intel based 2006 era mac pros windows can be installed onto it by installing windows onto the drive on a windows PC but shutting the PC off right before it finishes restarting to enter the setup screen. and then migrating the drive to the mac

will that actually work?

[azure topaz]

bro

dont macs havbe a native tool to run windows

[rigid fjord]

it'll support it some, though you can add a little stand right on the end for extra support

[azure topaz]

ah i guess not the old ones

[azure topaz]

but yes prolly no idea why it wouldnt work

[opaque venture]

it doesnt have an OS drive

so I gotta use the workaround

[abstract wigeon]

i just use legos 🤷‍♂️

one little pillar in the corner and no sag for free

[opaque venture]

I used to use a nerf ball

when my gpu was in a horizontal case

[serene citrus]

Can't because of case fans, and the length between the bottom and GPU (I can't find a bracket/support long enough for it). 😦

[sonic marlin]

Anyone know where i can buy quality typewriter style keycaps?

[grizzled frost]

absolutely

about 250usd in cabling and HBAs so far

[valid topaz]

anyone know of a program on mac that tells cpu temp?

[tidal geyser]

and a sata HDD is like 20TB used for something around that price

[grizzled frost]

yep, never said it was sensible

[tidal geyser]

xd

[grizzled frost]

i’m doing it for fun

[tidal geyser]

fair enough

[grizzled frost]

i already have a reasonable 3 drive raidz1 pool with 4tb drives, this is just for shits and giggles

[azure topaz]

why is it that AMD boards look so shit compared to intel

[hallow jasper]

I gave it 60 seconds on google.
https://www.tunabellysoftware.com/tgpro/
https://crystalidea.com/macs-fan-control

Also just using the powermetrics command in Terminal

[rigid fjord]

these exist

[serene citrus]

I found those, but they're not long enough?

[rigid fjord]

tbf dude, anyone building a nas is never going to be sensible about storage

[serene citrus]

I need 28/30cm, the longest I found was 25

[rigid fjord]

what case are you using?

[serene citrus]

Corsair Obsidian 750D

[hallow jasper]

Sketchy shit that works (for the past 2 years)

[rigid fjord]

ah, a big boy tower, one of these then

[tidal geyser]

LETS GOOOOOOO

[azure topaz]

cute

[hallow jasper]

bot lobby

[azure topaz]

or one that goes under like the pcie bracket

[tidal geyser]

no u

[rigid fjord]

which he's using but he feels like it's not enough support

[azure topaz]

oh i see

[rigid fjord]

@hallow jasper hehe

[azure topaz]

what is "enough support" it either holds it there or it doesnt

[serene citrus]

Maybe, gotta remove a fan kr 2 :/

[hallow jasper]

That would be too sensible

[azure topaz]

what are you doing, it doesnt really need support, dont step on your gpu 😭

[hallow jasper]

also the scale of that image is hilarious

that a 300mm fan?

[azure topaz]

its just gotta stop it from sagging 😭

[hallow jasper]

😆

[rigid fjord]

another similar one

[hallow jasper]

Yep, i'm only doing it for the tinest bit of leverage, it wasn't really sagging to begin with no thanks at all to Asus's 2-slot bracket

[azure topaz]

lol

[hallow jasper]

that's neat to know this exists, actually.

[rigid fjord]

a weird one

[serene citrus]

What's the length?

[gloomy sleet]

wait how does that work?

[hallow jasper]

what the heck am I even looking at

[hallow jasper]

Its pretty simple. If you have bottom mounted case fans

[gloomy sleet]

ohhh i’m stupid

i thought the pole would go horizontally underneath the gpu from one of the front panel fans

[rigid fjord]

mounts to where you put a fan, and then you attach the gpu to it

[hallow jasper]

Must be for something custom. The end attached to the bracket is the I/O side lol

[gloomy sleet]

why don’t we just make gpus smaller

i know it’s an insane concept

[hallow jasper]

Cooling. So the question should be why don't we just make GPU's less power hungry

[rigid fjord]

https://www.newegg.com/p/1DW-00KE-00030

[gloomy sleet]

that too

power usage is one of the main things i look at when buying a gpu

1. performance
2. driver support (not relevant for modern gpus)
3. power usage

[rigid fjord]

potentially you could mod it to being like how pc's used to support pcb's in the case

[gloomy sleet]

just make reinforced pcie slots

[rigid fjord]

#2 is very relevant for modern gpu's

[gloomy sleet]

wdym

[rigid fjord]

nvidia and current newer drivers being unstable

[gloomy sleet]

i meant like if a gpu is too old to have driver updates

[serene citrus]

For me 1 is actually a combination of #1 and #3.

[gloomy sleet]

same kinda

if a gpu performs like 10%-15% better but takes twice the power i’ll get the “worse gpu”

[hallow jasper]

Oh I don't think that bracket would work with 140mm fans anyway.

[rigid fjord]

i'm using an rx590 and it's still getting driver updates

[gleaming quarry]

Hi, some time ago I got hands on an original P3Steel (Prusa i3 MK0 mod).
I’ve been fixing (reprinting parts) and upgrading it, as you can clearly see in the picture.
Now I’d like to know if I should go with klipper or marlin. I’ve got more experience using klipper, but I’m not sure if it will be too much for this printer. It currently has an Arduino Mega 2560 and was planning on using an old desktop computer I had lying around and connect it via USB to the arduino.

[serene citrus]

Same, that's why I took the 9070 over the XT

[rigid fjord]

the second one i sent a pic of is for 120mm fans but there may be a 140mm version

[empty quartz]

Mrrp :3

[rigid fjord]

the first one can fit on a 92mm,120mm and 140mm fan though @hallow jasper

[fluid matrix]

how would I connect a large 3tb hdd to a old hp prodesk that only has the ports for like a small 250gb hdd

[tidal geyser]

throw it in there

[empty quartz]

What

[tidal geyser]

if it has a 3.5 bay get or make a converter and slap the HDD in there

[tidal geyser]

Reliable, but is it useful?

[empty quartz]

Yes

I mean technically the asus boards are usefull too

They kill cpus

Asus on their way to design a board that is reliable until the warranty expires

it’s honestly magical how well they do it

[empty quartz]

My x99-a literally worked for a single boot. Pretty sure it killed itself and the 5820k in it

I turned it off to swap in a better gpu, and it gave the good ol’ asus error code 00 boot loop

@grizzled frost want a completely fucked sabertooth x79

[hidden hill]

Anyone know a good controller for pc? My Xbox controllers left trigger keeps sticking when pressed down

Might get a better controller than the base Xbox series x model

[rigid fjord]

8bitdo controllers

[hidden hill]

Ok I’ll look around

[plush wren]

ganesir is apparently great

[sly halo]

Hey which would be a better for 1440p and 4k gaming a 4060 with a 5700x or a PS5?

[hallow jasper]

So good

[hallow jasper]

8BitDo Ultimate 2 https://www.8bitdo.com/ultimate-2-wireless-controller/

[tidal geyser]

cant compare them

[hidden hill]

Ultimate wireless with the dock for 35$ at Best Buy, looks like a good deal but I’m watching a review

[hidden hill]

I’ll Check that as well

[hallow jasper]

I have the normal Ultimate Wireless and yeah at $35 thats' a steal

[hidden hill]

Yep pretty sure it’s this one

[hallow jasper]

HE sticks, charging dock

[stiff ibex]

I need help all my warning lights turn on then they go away after 5 secs and pc boots normally

[hidden hill]

What’s HE?

[hallow jasper]

at that price you really can't go wrong. I've had 3 8BDo controllers over the years, always happy with them

[hallow jasper]

hall effect

mumbo jumbo for less drift prone

[hidden hill]

Yeah I might pick this then, review video I’m watching is glazing it too

[hidden hill]

Ahhh I know what that means, Nintendo needs this in the switch 2

[random gyro]

yo how ovens even work bro they highkey a mystery

[hidden hill]

Button 👍

[hallow jasper]

electric? then electric resistance and the byproduct heat

[random gyro]

ok now whats the best gpu i could get brandnew in a 300-400 usd price range

LMFAO

[hidden hill]

Bluetooth version is a lot more expensive, so weird tbh I prefer the usb wireless connection

Bluetooth can be annoying sometimes

Of course that controller that was 35$ is unavailable

[random gyro]

ppl keep telling me to get a 3050 or a 4060 is that good idrk 💔

[rigid fjord]

hehehe

[rigid fjord]

you forgot the lockable trigger buttons where you can either have it act as an instant trigger or gradual trigger

[random gyro]

2.4 grams is really lightweight for a controller i think thats good

[hallow jasper]

truth be told I have the BT Ultimate but thats only because the 2.4Ghz only one hadn't come out yet. Still included the 2.4Ghz option but I have the option to connect to a switch or android/ios device (which I never use)

I have it in 2.4Ghz mode all the time

the receiver is in the dock

[latent gull]

For a good 30 seconds I was really trying to figure out how you would connect a controller to a network switch

[hidden hill]

Can get the black one for 39 if I buy open box, excellent condition?

[hallow jasper]

was just talking about the Ultimate 1 there which is the one they're looking to buy

[rigid fjord]

not really, if gas you cause a spark to ignite the gas to cause a flame,, if electric then it's by the the resistance of the heating element or via induction

[hidden hill]

Idek if Best Buy sells the ultimate 2

[random gyro]

gas ovens exist? wont that just make ur food taste like gas 💔

no wonder my milk taste like gas rn

[rigid fjord]

ah fair enough, the ultimate 2 wireless has a switch to do either wireless 2,4ghz or bt

[hidden hill]

That’s neat

[rigid fjord]

yeah, means it doubles up for playing games on my tablet/phone when i want

also means it's possible to sync it with a console

[hallow jasper]

they do various submodels. my first gen Ultimate 1 can do all that but has Nintendo layout keys. Annoying but doesn't actually change the operation. They changed that eventually. I want to get an Ultimate 2 2.4Ghz because the purple is just striking. (I don't need a new one)

[hidden hill]

What does cell or c mean for battery size

[hidden hill]

lol that’s crazy

[hallow jasper]

in what context

my ultimate 1 doesn't have a removable battery

[random gyro]

why does it look like airpods

[hidden hill]

This one?

[hallow jasper]

which some think as a major con, understandably

[hidden hill]

Was in the battery size specification

[rigid fjord]

C cell batteries are a chuinkier looking AA battery

[hallow jasper]

That color but in the 2, since I already have a 1. If I was going to buy a new one, might as well get th elatest model

[rigid fjord]

this be the u2c, that's not to do with battieries

[hidden hill]

Does the 2 do anything else besides mode swapping

To wheee I’d want it over the 1

Had no idea AA batteries had different versions

[latent gull]

This seems horribly inefficient when you can get a multipack and a battery recharger

[hallow jasper]

Ok, so to be clear the 1 and 2 have versions that can "mode swap" between BT and 2.4Ghz. They both also offer 2.4Ghz only models. Thats not the difference.

U2 gives you
-TMR Joysticks
-RGB
-Extra bumpers
-Trigger mode switch
-HE triggers
-maybe the polling rate being 1000Hz over wireless is new I can't be bothered to check

[true warren]

This thing survived boiling hot water from an iron leaking into it

I have no idea how the thing even powers on

[hidden hill]

Might get the ultimate 2 then, trigger locks might be good in for honor

[hidden hill]

wtf

[hallow jasper]

Its routinely on sale for $49 on Amazon but its $59 now

[latent gull]

For honor is still active?

[hidden hill]

Ok I’m gonna do the 2 I think

It means they can avoid things like server closure and layoffs

Hmm can I change the rgb color on the ultimate 2?

[true warren]

This thing has major trace rot
The power button doesn’t work
It shuts down after 5 mins too

I suppose it could be thermal throttling considering the fan is running at max rpm

Can, doesn’t mean they will

true

Hey I see some 3070s being sold for 280$ each, all used for cryptomining. Are they a good price to buy?

do you mean great price? or great back then?

[thorn cove]

oh? why is that? I had the exact opposite thought lol

[tidal geyser]

why

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-pacifier-kitten-black-cat-kitty-gif-17838044

[thorn cove]

because I just assumed large amounts of heat damage the die

Although I dont think a 3070 will be good with a 9700x cpu lol

i would wait and go for a 9060 xt instead tho

Is it worth upgrading from 2k to 4k purely for gaming?

[tidal geyser]

not a thing also uhhhhmmmm hard to answer

its way more up to you and screen size

[void surge]

The jump from 1080p to 1440p for me was huge, since both were 27”

[abstract wigeon]

keep in mind you will need much more powerful hardware

[void surge]

Looking to get a 32” 4k monitor now, wouldn’t say it’s much better than this rather than the size and resolution

[void surge]

Yeah I know, got a 4070 super but I play single player games

60fps is reachable

[abstract wigeon]

yeah i mean double check some benchmarks with the games you play, 60fps could be doable with lower graphics but depends on what you play

personally id rather 1440p ultra rather than 4k medium settings

[rigid fjord]

you mean from 1440p to 4k, and that depends

[random gyro]

I ain't much of a tech guy, but I need help finding a suitable laptop. Anyone up to help?

white shows dirt and grime

[hidden hill]

White controller a bad idea?

[trim gyro]

and it is going to yellow or stain

well it looks nicer

[hidden hill]

Hmm yeah maybe not that then, purple it is!

[trim gyro]

purple can be less distracting than white if the controller is in your line of sight

Yeah gonna do that, 2 day delivery. Hope I like the controller

Guys do i need to connect sata cable to psu if i have a ssd

[trim gyro]

sata power cable is usually necessary for 2.5" and 3.5" storage drives and optical drives
the actual sata cable goes from the SSD to the motherboard

[carmine yew]

2.5" SATA SSD? Yes
NVME or M.2 Drive? No

[buoyant vapor]

Do i need to connect these or are they unnecesary

[carmine yew]

you need them if you need them

[rigid fjord]

only if you have a 40/50 series nvidia

[trim gyro]

(on the left)

[buoyant vapor]

What is the 12v for

[trim gyro]

it's for GPUs that use 12vhwpr

[buoyant vapor]

I have 4060 ti

[carmine yew]

[carmine yew]

that's probably 8 pin

[rigid fjord]

firestarter gpu's

[novel geyser]

if scammers put in the same effort into getting a real job instead of scamming ppl then they would be respected

[ripe spire]

literally

[buoyant vapor]

Yeah so i dont think i need it right

It is 8 pin

[carmine yew]

you clearly don't realize how much they can make doing that, do you

[novel geyser]

they are optional, I personally don't recommend running 12v high failure tho

[carmine yew]

keep them safely stored and don't lose them in case you upgrade later

[novel geyser]

either they make a minimum wage or their rich

[buoyant vapor]

Also is my cable managment ok for first pc

[trim gyro]

well, just like mmorpgs, scamming can be a quick way to make money fast

[carmine yew]

not bad, you can always do more work later

One sec

[obsidian prism]

on average the 5060 ti is faster though no?? by the slimmest bit

[rigid fjord]

barely, you also don't deal with nvidia driver issues that have came about due to 50 series

[obsidian prism]

touche then

[empty quartz]

@rigid fjord Wanna see the esd grounding we use at my job?

[rigid fjord]

also, much better ram instead of the corsair ones

[rigid fjord]

yeah

[obsidian prism]

right okay 👍

[buoyant vapor]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/PmNCVF dont clown me for using intel i just had some spare parts

[rigid fjord]

the fuck, fire starter 2000 there

[empty quartz]

No

[rigid fjord]

that's redneck grounding

[buoyant vapor]

I have a big feeling that i am missing a part but i think that my computer is assembled

[empty quartz]

As long is its actually connected to the ground wire, its actually perfectly fine

[serene pumice]

Why would anyone use ground wires

[empty quartz]

Osha approved /j

[buoyant vapor]

Might i need any of these cables (excluding pcie(ignore the duvet))

[empty quartz]

Esd

I work at an AASP

Its required

[rigid fjord]

alcoholics anonymous special place

[serene pumice]

Oh, I see! So your computer cases over there isn't buzzing your skin if you touch them?

[obsidian prism]

bare cable on a rusty bolt the fuck???

[empty quartz]

No, apple authorized service provider

[rigid fjord]

same diff 😉

[empty quartz]

Not rusty

Its copper

[obsidian prism]

looks like it

from first glance

[true stirrup]

Judging by the picture of your build above, no

[carmine yew]

We already answered you like 5 fucking times

[empty quartz]

So we dont accidentally fuck up someones $6000 system

[buoyant vapor]

Just want to make sure vro 😞

Even if you don't use them now: Keep them somewhere safe, in case you need them later.
It's not complicated.

[empty quartz]

Yeah. For me, i never thought i’d need molex, but here i am actually needing it

[carmine yew]

if you need molex in 2025, you're doing something wrong
(or you're buying a case with super shitty fans)

[serene pumice]

Or sell them to someone who didn't & make a profit

[empty quartz]

My pump for my custom loop needs molex

[carmine yew]

rewire it to sata

[serene pumice]

Molex best connector

[empty quartz]

“If it aint broke, dont fix it”

[carmine yew]

odds you already have sata plugs in your PC

[true stirrup]

Molex is powering my custom loop pump

[empty quartz]

Tons, i use sata drives for mass storage

[carmine yew]

I'll tell you the same thing I told ace:
Rewire it to sata 😛

[serene pumice]

GPU manufacturerd usually include a Molex->PCIe adapter, incase you don't have enough PCIe cables from the PSU.

[rigid fjord]

@buoyant vapori recommend spare cables to be stored in the mobo box

[carmine yew]

when? 15 years ago?

[true stirrup]

If it works it works, why get adapters

[carmine yew]

who said adapter? I'm clipping the wires and wiring into a sata plug directly

[azure topaz]

i love you

[latent gull]

Not much better :p

[tidal geyser]

pro tip, when working with server or workstation cpus pleas for the love of god read the qvl

[serene pumice]

That was about when I bought computer parts last time, you mean they cheap out on Adapters nowadays?!?

[carmine yew]

I'm happy to pay the extra for pre-built servers

[azure topaz]

i absolutely love servers

[latent gull]

Last time I saw molex-sata being used, it was after the pc had gotten nice and charred inside

[rigid fjord]

pro pro pro tip, when working with oem prebuilds, they're basically all made by foxxcon, so you can interchange many parts

[true stirrup]

That's crazy

[azure topaz]

until they have a different plug like dells 5 pins

[rigid fjord]

that's just pwm with an extra sensor pin

[carmine yew]

someone did something wrong, cuz those adapters are braindead easy. (Granted I haven't needed them in years)

[azure topaz]

yeah but maiming your works several thousand dollar server to plug in a fan is a bit stupid

[carmine yew]

servers get proper server parts

[azure topaz]

please

[tidal geyser]

a expensive story told in 5 pictures

[azure topaz]

i don’t want to see your “homelab” that’s actually a no case 2nd gen machine with 2hdds

[latent gull]

I think it just got too hot one day, they kept that office boiling. But yeah, it fucked up the inside of that case pretty good, couldn’t tell from the outside, but the wires and HDDs were all melted

[tidal geyser]

floooooopppyyy im gonna do something funnnyyy

[azure topaz]

fuckkkk youuuu

[tidal geyser]

😦

dis then NUC then short external psu and 3D print some HDD thingy

[azure topaz]

eh kinda cutw

why external? does the controller have enough bandwidth?

[carmine yew]

holy shit, stuff back in the day got wacky AF lololol

[rigid fjord]

easy to mod the 5 pin ones, it's the 6 pin ones you got to watch out for

[tidal geyser]

no shit it does its a ASM1166

also external since i wanna see how small i can make a NAS

well also janky

[rigid fjord]

said 6 pin dell fan @azure topaz

[azure topaz]

yeah my server has both

[tidal geyser]

i do not have a server well actual server 😦

[azure topaz]

that’s why i decided broadwell was enough for me

[rigid fjord]

very easy to convert over pwm fans to dell 5pin tbh, they have the exact same pin pitch

[azure topaz]

i’d rather have a real server

[carmine yew]

how many drives

[azure topaz]

yes but i don’t want to have to adapt my server fan 😭

[tidal geyser]

i dono i want to make a youtube project and 3D print something

[carmine yew]

3d printed nas case? Some of them are dope

[azure topaz]

i expect it to turn on and work and for repairs/replacements to be as quick as it took for me to set it up the first time

the hot swap ability of servers is why i purchased it

[boreal vine]

finally got around to displaying my keybs

[tidal geyser]

ama try to make it myself, also major reason is just making something tiny

[azure topaz]

i want to be able to just pull out the psu

(also that’s awesome it feels sick)

[carmine yew]

I like my jonsbo nas for small 😄

[tidal geyser]

also dis ultra cheap

[boreal vine]

jonsbo making really nice NAS case recently

n1 and n2 is gorgeous af

n4 and n5 too, nice cubes

[carmine yew]

the new N5 with mATX support is kinda dope

[rigid fjord]

was going to say about the n5

[boreal vine]

literally

[rigid fjord]

atx*

[boreal vine]

I thought the n3 would be matx actually

[carmine yew]

ahha, the N4 was matx, and N5 got bigger

[boreal vine]

@carmine yew just look at that caboose space for drives

the top could fit an eatx too

[carmine yew]

12 drives, goddamn

[lethal bay]

Is this finally out

[boreal vine]

yesn't, kinda

[lethal bay]

That was the status the last time I looked into it lol

[carmine yew]

https://www.newegg.com/black-jonsbo-n-series-e-atx-full-tower-case/p/2AM-006A-000F6

[boreal vine]

it's officially out in china, but hard to find in the west for reasonable prices

[lethal bay]

Yeahhhhhhh

Yeah I’m not paying $260

[boreal vine]

tbf what other case fits like 12 drives

[lethal bay]

Case is ideal for what I want to eventually grow into but completely overkill for any purposes I would have for it rn

[boreal vine]

imagine all 6 sata + hba

[carmine yew]

get a matx n4 w 6 drives + 2x 2.5"

[lethal bay]

Don’t have an extra mATX board

[carmine yew]

it's atx?

[lethal bay]

brother you just said the N4

[boreal vine]

not the n4

[carmine yew]

your spare board is atx?

[latent gull]

A drawer next to the case

[lethal bay]

Yes

[boreal vine]

n4 only supports itx and matx

oh mb

[buoyant vapor]

My computer works and opens bios but has still has a red light should i change anything or should it be fine?

[lethal bay]

My spare boards are ATX lol

[boreal vine]

jokes on you I have a spare matx 💔

[carmine yew]

What is the red light on?
A red light on its own doesn't tell us anything

[buoyant vapor]

On motherbord

[carmine yew]

no fucking shit, sherlock

appropriate

[tidal geyser]

what if i tell you a massive secret, water is blue

even the sky

[carmine yew]

water is clear!

But the refraction of the water vapor in the air causes blue 😉
