[tidal geyser]

if you wanna use it yourself put a case on it and have a good time

[craggy cove]

only listed problem is "0.6x camera wont focus"

[humble wolf]

Screen is probably under pressure

[craggy cove]

oh right

[harsh vector]

A stack. That’s a dream setup

[latent pasture]

filter by watt (850w and above imo)
sort by cheapest
go search each name 1 by 1 and check if its tier A, then get that one

oh uk

[tidal geyser]

not this?

[craggy cove]

i mean works....

[tidal geyser]

do not go close to water

[humble wolf]

Yeah that screen is going to break the first time it gets dropped on a hard surface lmao

[gilded harness]

if it works it works but i wouldnt daily drive it

[tidal geyser]

ehhh im gonna say the screen should be fine buuut you 100% wanna put a new case on it

[craggy cove]

idk how its healthy other than the bacck

[craggy fiber]

yea

[humble wolf]

Any case that would actually protect the phone isn't going to fit with how bent it is

[magic kraken]

Wanted to get some stuff that'd last not just this build but at least the next one as well. my old sata SSDs and gen3 nvmes were more or less obsolete.

[tidal geyser]

3D print your own

but i think the bend is just not enough to where it cant be in a case

[humble wolf]

I don't think they'd be considering this phone if they could do that lol

[craggy cove]

tempted to buy this for 100€ or so

pixel 8 pro

[whole garden]

nah since there's no scratches at a level 6 with deeper grooves at a level 7

[craggy cove]

screen replacements on aliexpress like 50€

though im completely inexperienced in that stuff

[gilded harness]

why are you looking at nearlyt broken phones anyways

[dusty mortar]

Askin the real questions here

[craggy cove]

idk one guy doing auctions on like 5 of them

expiring in 10 min

[humble wolf]

Just buy a used one on marketplace and check the IMEI beforehand to make sure it's not stolen

[dusty mortar]

If it’s marketplace it’s prob stolen tho

[craggy fiber]

alright thank you 🫡

[craggy cove]

this is something i dont want to repair

[craggy cove]

yeah thats what i did, oneplus 10t for 100€ like half a year ago

[dusty mortar]

Z-fold moment

[craggy cove]

works fine except battery kinda bad now

but 150w charigng atleast

[dusty mortar]

“Works fine”
Dude

[craggy cove]

z-flip moment

[dusty mortar]

The scream is fucked

[craggy cove]

talking about my phone sorry

[gilded harness]

theres so many heatpipes going on with this cooler wtf

[dusty mortar]

Close enough

[latent pasture]

the good 750ws r only like $10 cheaper while the 1000+ws start at +$30-40

[gilded harness]

its more expensive than the peerless assassin even

[dusty mortar]

Oh, well just replace the battery

Don’t gotta get a whole new phone just cos the battery is giving out

[gilded harness]

like okay cool design

but holy shit

[magic kraken]

so much plastic

[gilded harness]

average chinese cooler ever

[craggy cove]

ehh a 100€ phone

[dusty mortar]

Back in my day you just bought a new battery and popped that mf in

[craggy cove]

and battery replacements suck so bad now

[latent pasture]

actually theres this for +$5 https://www.scan.co.uk/products/1000w-corsair-rm1000e-fully-modular-pcie-5080plus-gold-single-rail-833a-120mm-rifle-bearing-fan-atx3 but apparently the fan is lound

[magic kraken]

gaps between the pipes on a direct heatpipe cooler generally means less performance

[gilded harness]

yeah

[dusty mortar]

How so

[livid fern]

Fan isnt loud

Fan controller was broken

[craggy cove]

idk gotta heat it up and glue it n shit

[livid fern]

:))

[latent pasture]

so is it fixed or

[dusty mortar]

Yeah that’s why you just take it to a shop

[livid fern]

2025 yes

2023 is gamble

[tidal geyser]

router man go tc2

[latent pasture]

is it identifiable if its 2025 off the product code or something

[gilded harness]

i think the 2025 has different grill or smth let me check

[craggy cove]

100€ and battery replacements are like what

a third of that? half?

[hidden charm]

Hmm someone that knows where I can find something similar to this but like a small box with the cable opening on the sides instead?

[livid fern]

Its 2023

[dusty mortar]

Yea, depends on the phone

[latent pasture]

ngek

[gilded harness]

better image

[true stirrup]

3D print it

[magic kraken]

triangles is the older version

[hidden charm]

Don't have one and no access to one

[latent pasture]

well 850w for £110 vs gamba fan 1000w for £114

[craggy fiber]

true but i honestly cba to have a loud psu

[tidal geyser]

it is but also 2024 but also no the filter thingy

[craggy fiber]

£33 more expensive ❓

[latent pasture]

the scan link specifically https://www.scan.co.uk/products/1000w-corsair-rm1000e-fully-modular-pcie-5080plus-gold-single-rail-833a-120mm-rifle-bearing-fan-atx3

[magic kraken]

Honestly kind of surprised how quiet my system ended up. No GPU Coil whine even under load. No fans other than the case fans even spinning at idle.

[latent pasture]

im going off the cheapest store theyre available in not amazon

[gilded harness]

oh my god im going to cry

"heres your 1 standard 8 pin pcie connector for you"

[magic kraken]

lol

[gilded harness]

at the price of $100

[magic kraken]

welcome to "low end" in current year

[craggy fiber]

peak

[tidal geyser]

low end? its b tier

[dusty mortar]

I mean, for a cheap build you don’t need much else

[magic kraken]

And can't run any cards that use 2x 8 pins. Usability failure, not performance issue.

[tidal geyser]

eh?

[peak knot]

My new multimeter is insane

[magic kraken]

only 0-1 usable 8 pin on the thing.

[peak knot]

Using a save memory function I can see all 7 digits past the decimal point, both came from the same voltage source

[tidal geyser]

no 3 usable 6+2 pins

or 1 6+2 and 1 12v 2x6

[magic kraken]

Lol, reverse squid? Now thats pretty amusing. At least its unlikely to catch fire due to the lower power draw on 2x8

[dusty mortar]

Because it’s obvious designed for cheaper builds

[tidal geyser]

yup 300w is fine

[latent pasture]

its not abt the power draw

[tidal geyser]

well

[latent pasture]

well it contributes but not really

[dusty mortar]

100$ for a decent power supply is great

[tidal geyser]

4080 fe did melty

[latent pasture]

the pcie and 16pin electric standard is just fucked

[craggy fiber]

ty ill look at that 🫡 !

[magic kraken]

16pin connector is a mess, not sure why they changed from the 12pin connector they used on the 3090 that didn't melt.

[tidal geyser]

pcie is fine

minifit is not

well 16 pin

[magic kraken]

Just hilarious looking at it from the perspective of their non-melting 600w 12pin connector to the newer melty 16pin

[tidal geyser]

eh? the 3090 was 450 and also melted

evga was considering making 3090 TI's with 2 12 pins

[magic kraken]

They melted a few yes, but not nearly as widespread as 40 and 50 series failures.

[gilded harness]

i kinda get it for nvidia standard but idk why does it exist on 650w psu (i know i know 4070 ti super is efficient)

[tidal geyser]

well 40 and 50 also kinda had most cards using it and also the small thing about the high end HAD to use it

most 3090 ti's are 6+2

[magic kraken]

3090s also actually had some amount of load balancing, which they cut from the 40 and 50 series reference designs

[tidal geyser]

did it?

[latent pasture]

yes

[magic kraken]

Yea

[tidal geyser]

no shit that is the HoF ofc it will have 2 ports

[tidal geyser]

o wow never knew that

[magic kraken]

They literally had the design mostly solved then actively made it worse with the 16 pin revision

[latent pasture]

buildzoid thinks thats y there were comparatively extremely little melting 3090tis

if at all

[tidal geyser]

there was 100% melting 3090 TI's

well 12 pins

[lapis talon]

@sinful cobalt this is the closest to stable I have gotten so far without thermal throttling or crashes, any way to improve this?

[magic kraken]

A few melted for sure, but it wasn't a mass widespread mess nor a market for solutions to fix the problem due to it being so widespread

[random gyro]

ball knowledge

[sinful cobalt]

can we stop touching the frequency offset

[random gyro]

just use mpt and make ur power limit 900

[sinful cobalt]

just set voltage offset to 100 and memory to 2800mhz

[lapis talon]

alright 💀

[sinful cobalt]

just leave frequency offset at 0 it does nothing

[lapis talon]

not stable for me

[lapis talon]

what

[random gyro]

frickin dweebs.

[gilded harness]

💀

[lapis talon]

ohh

[magic kraken]

Kind of amusing seeing people increasing voltage/power on AMD when the game on nvidia seems to be almost entirely centered around undervolting now.

[random gyro]

who tf increases voltage

[latent pasture]

i havent heard of increasing voltage other than ram

ive seen everyone who wants to tweak cpu gpu immediately gets told to undervolt for like, 5 yrs now

[frigid blade]

because its a good tweak

undervolt and overclock

[latent pasture]

ye

[sweet zephyr]

Gpu sag is real

[latent pasture]

and intel certainly did another blow to the concept of increasing voltage

[lapis talon]

im new to UV and OC 😭

[tidal geyser]

why did you not use bread

[latent pasture]

correct and good value stand

[magic kraken]

didn't gain a lot of perf but cutting 100w off the gpu was noticeable in room temp

[sweet zephyr]

I dont feel like replacing it all the time

[random gyro]

yeah undervolting clears than having an unstable clock speed

[latent pasture]

hardtak cook it in an oven for like a day until it turns into stone
not at high heat cuz that will just turn it to carbon

[random gyro]

undervolt.

[magic kraken]

I should probably spend some more time dialing in the undervolt, on a pretty basic 2800@900mv curve atm

[gilded harness]

more undervolt.

idk if i could go lower with my vega

[dusty mortar]

hmmm yes, an upgrade

[gilded harness]

possible if i even try

[magic kraken]

AMD doesn't have something like the curve optimizer in afterburner?

[latent pasture]

isnt that just the voltage slider

well not slider, that line graph one

[lapis talon]

my game crashes if I set PL to -30%

[magic kraken]

yea, voltage at every frequency individually

[lapis talon]

what should I do about the PL then

[gilded harness]

i dont know, i just recently started tuning my gpu

had 6600 and 6700xt before, never undervolt them or touch them

i heard i can pull more performance from undervolting a vega so i start doing it lmao

[frigid blade]

Yah its not about the extra performance for me when I do this, its to just get the overall temps and power usage down

[livid fern]

@tidal geyser

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kitty-cat-kitty-blink-gif-27069194

[livid fern]

Aris removed certifications for vetroo G5/GV

[tidal geyser]

dam

did they hardware swap

[livid fern]

Yes

Jiumeng (aresgame)

Although the unit still gets B+

[frigid blade]

Oh shit

I might just get a barebones R940 for $800 + shipping and tax

[tidal geyser]

huh

did not other things also have hardware swap

[sweet zephyr]

That takes longer than just using a saw on a piece of wood

[magic kraken]

Yea, didn't manage to meaningfully improve the cpu but at least the GPU had lots of room for improvement

[tidal geyser]

yeah did the a650bn not also have a hardware swap on what was it fan?

[livid fern]

Its teramax II SE

[tidal geyser]

o wow

[livid fern]

Two version yes. One has better fan but worse internals
Both achieve C

[thorn cove]

If the 9060 xt 16 gigabyte goes out of budget for me, is it okay if I get the 5060? (I also checked that there is no b580 at my local microcenter) Reviewers say that I shouldnt buy it but it will allow me to play all my games much faster and buy me time until I actually get a good card.

[tidal geyser]

you could also just go last gen

[frigid blade]

This is why you call instead of using the chat on the webpage

Last time I tried to use the chat box they said "no special requests"

I just called and the dude was instantly like "yah lemme check with my manager, if you choose this for $10 more youll have a better chance of them letting it through"

[magic kraken]

5060ti 16gb if your looking that side of the fence

[thorn cove]

I planned to do that but the only one that is a good price on AMD's side is the 7900xt being below msrp. i also found a refurbished 6900xt for 500$ but both are outside my budget of 420$ for the gpu insert death emote here

[kindred palm]

like with the cpu motherboard and ram

[thorn cove]

Yeah its also just outside of my budget sadly

[magic kraken]

Decent argument to just wait a little bit for more budget

[sinful cobalt]

i have no idea wats going on with ur card u prob lost silicone lottery or smth

[tidal geyser]

you can find used 6800 XT for like 400$ just need a good PSU tho

[knotty iris]

I take my a+ 1101 today anyone got any tips for last minute or for during the test

[magic kraken]

dont panic

[tidal geyser]

o comptia shit

[knotty iris]

Yeah definitely trying to calm down but my schools only paying for it once and I cant afford a retake

[magic kraken]

just pace yourself and tear through it methodically and its pretty hard to screw it up as long as you know the material

[magic marsh]

Does corsair vengeance ddr5 use at least ok die's this time around

[hallow jasper]

some do, some don't

[azure topaz]

wdym

[tidal geyser]

not really

[azure topaz]

even lpx ddr4 had bdie variants

[hallow jasper]

he probably means are they all Hynix

[tidal geyser]

but they are still overpriced

[azure topaz]

what do you mean not really

[magic marsh]

that's always good to hear

[knotty iris]

Alr ty

[frigid blade]

@azure topaz $1.5k good for a R940?

[tidal geyser]

the issue is had as in luck up to what ya got

[azure topaz]

kinda?

[magic kraken]

I mean you probably aren't getting hynix a die

[azure topaz]

if anything corsair is better than other vendors

[azure topaz]

you probably are if youre smart and know what to look for

im all for the corsair hate but at least things that happened

[tidal geyser]

wat

[gilded harness]

my lpx ddr4 is pretty insane

[azure topaz]

you can tell ic type by the xmp

[magic kraken]

Good vendors don't mix dies under a single SKU

[azure topaz]

umm

so there are no good vendors???

this is unreasonable levels of dumb

[magic marsh]

I'm just looking for ram for a decent build, they aren't gonna be overclocked or anything I just don't want something bad

[magic kraken]

There are plenty that don't do that. Kingston comes to mind

[gilded harness]

it was rated for 2666 but i got it to 3600 cl16 18 18 38 1.4v tho

[hallow jasper]

heres a thought, who cares who the vendor is if you just pick out the Hynix kits

[azure topaz]

what?

kingston does it all the time. so does gskill. so does fucking hynix themself

micron, samsung

[tidal geyser]

comptia is sad

[azure topaz]

everyone will swap to the cheaper IC unless the ic type is specifically labeled in the listing

[hallow jasper]

A+ is a joke.

[azure topaz]

this is not a "corsair being cheap thing" this is an everyone being cheap thing

[frigid blade]

This

[magic kraken]

Hmm, might be specific to the market segment I look at then. Looking at the ones that specifically do call out the IC and fixed bom

[tidal geyser]

i hate how some places require this kinda shit

no wonder why some IT departments are just useless

[azure topaz]

specifically labeling the IC's is basically only for overclockers and not a requirement of any brand at all im just saying

and most overclockers can tel the IC by looking at the XMP rating, unless its a generic rated kit but an overclocker simply wouldnt buy that lol

[dapper glacier]

I’m moving to university in September and want a new case because my current case is almost 20kg and I have 9 flights of stairs to carry it up does anyone have any suggestions on cases I have a atx motherboard and a rtx 3070

[gilded harness]

meshify 2 compa-

[tidal geyser]

i dono greab the cheapest case you can find

[junior valve]

the gpu box

[magic kraken]

The motherboard anti-static bag

[dapper glacier]

That got thrown away in like 2018

[junior valve]

dell otiplex mt case

[dusty mortar]

Chat is this a steal? /gen

[gilded harness]

steal

[random gyro]

ewaste

[tidal geyser]

what is /gen?

[plush wren]

split or steal

[junior valve]

ewaste

[magic kraken]

ewaste

[hallow jasper]

ewaste, no

[dusty mortar]

But is it worth the 6 bucks
Cos when I looked it up they’re still going for like 300-400$

[junior valve]

back in 2010

[gilded harness]

those prices are old

they go like $45 in thailand which is insane for a gpu that isnt even faster than the 1030

scamming kids into thinking that quadro = powerful

[magic kraken]

something something 4th gen i7

[dusty mortar]

Yeah I’m not in Thailand

[azure topaz]

most sticks will do 3600

like, theres very few ics/bins that wont do 3600 atp

[dusty mortar]

I know it’s not a gaming gpu that’s not why I’m getting it

[azure topaz]

well its like 20 years old is the bigger issue

[peak knot]

Desk setup is complete

[dusty mortar]

I just need one better than the one in the workstation I’m getting

[hallow jasper]

The card from 15 years ago, its likely not even compatible with some modern software. If its free, sure, for some retro stuff. Otherwise its not worth the effort.

[azure topaz]

theres no such thing as a gaming gpu to me really

[peak knot]

Prime work area achieved

[azure topaz]

like yes there are cards you can play games on but the same cards you can work on

[magic kraken]

Yea, you can probably find something like an rx580 for way less and still have more performance.

[dusty mortar]

Why pray tell do you need an oscilloscope

[magic kraken]

getting real work done

[azure topaz]

to oscilloscope things

[junior valve]

what 580 sells for under 6$

[peak knot]

I use it for diagnosing and repairing electronics

[dusty mortar]

Fair enough

[hallow jasper]

is that an OG iSight?

[gilded harness]

vrams died one maybe

[dusty mortar]

Fr

[dapper glacier]

Is that foam over a screen in bottom left

[magic kraken]

Kinda wish I still had my oscope from my college electrical engineering days

[hallow jasper]

Nothing worth your time is going to be under $50 (really much more IMO)

[peak knot]

Yeah it’s my analog scope, prevents light from degrading the phosphor in the crt when not in use

[dusty mortar]

Kinda on a budget tho

[dapper glacier]

That’s pretty cool

[junior valve]

two gtx 780ti

[dusty mortar]

This is a shits and giggles build

[magic kraken]

My analog scope failed to survive a move.

[hallow jasper]

If you're looking at GPU's, $50 US is SUPER budget

[dusty mortar]

It’s going in a workstation with dual xeons

[junior valve]

you can prob get a 980

[dusty mortar]

[peak knot]

Oof, yeah I have no formal electrical engineering but I’m self taught

[magic kraken]

something like a 670 works fine for display output meme build

[dusty mortar]

What about a 1050ti

I got one of them lying around

[magic kraken]

stay away from amd if your looking at windows server with a gaming gpu, getting the drivers to work is a nightmare

[peak knot]

Next project is gonna be upgrading my hp 3457a 7.5 digit multimeters display with a modern oled one

[dusty mortar]

It isn’t a server tho

[magic kraken]

should work just fine

[dapper glacier]

Around here quatro p2000 are pretty cheep and a lot better than quatro 4000

[dusty mortar]

Bitchin

[junior valve]

trade it for a 980ti

[dapper glacier]

Especially if it’s only for workstation

[dusty mortar]

No

[junior valve]

its faster

[dusty mortar]

Bigger number equal better

[dapper glacier]

In that case the 9070 is better then the 5090

[azure topaz]

tyre

[dusty mortar]

I was being funny

[gilded harness]

then i came across this post on marketplace

somebody is selling it for $230

[azure topaz]

life is pain

[gilded harness]

if it wasn't for the case and motherboard price i think id have the same price pc

FUCK blower gpu tho

[tidal geyser]

holy shit

[gilded harness]

[lethal bay]

50 Series Nvidia gpu

[dapper glacier]

Happens like 5 times a day for like 10 seconds

[dapper glacier]

3070

[tidal geyser]

DDU and install 566.36

[lethal bay]

@tidal geyser have at it

[tidal geyser]

ok?

[abstract wigeon]

this fixed my 3070

[lapis talon]

With PL set to +5%, its stable in Heavens Benchmark but crashes in Furmark with the settings you told me to use

[fast girder]

Question, I've watched the reviews and we got some in today, cost for me would be $269 after employee discount, is it a worth upgrade from a 1070 or a 6700XT on my sons computer?

[tidal geyser]

its not helping at all

[lapis talon]

thermal throttles with the default settings btw idk why

[dapper glacier]

What’s DDU

[fringe zephyr]

I have LG monitor which has a HDMI and USB C with dp alt mode ports

HDMI is already being used with a laptop and I want to connect another laptop with it but am unable to determine which cable to get

The 2nd laptop has mini-display port /usb type-c 3.2 gen 1/ hdmi ports

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/237719/

[dapper glacier]

Ah ok thank you

[tidal geyser]

first ddu then install that driver

[lapis talon]

he gotta use safemode as well right

[tidal geyser]

ever watched that video

[lapis talon]

I used it myself yesterday

before installing my gpu 💀

[abstract wigeon]

ive never had issues without using safe mode

[fringe zephyr]

does anyone know which cable will be the best to use here

[lapis talon]

still used it, doesnt hurt or anythin

[abstract wigeon]

yeah you should

[timber sun]

I’ve been working on a “Radmin Friends” playnite pluggin.. it’s not finished but what y’all think?

[empty quartz]

Nerds

[empty quartz]

Is your monitor cracked?

[timber sun]

Yeah 😦

Knocked it other day and it lightly touched floor

🥲

[empty quartz]

This is why i use monitor arms

[timber sun]

It was on my desktop balanced 😂 only cuz where staying atm

But need get new one anyways

[kindred halo]

Got any recommendations for them, or any advice on what to get/not get?
I wanna get an arm/stand but the videos online seem like slop (atleast a good majority)

[empty quartz]

I got mine from facebook marketplace

[kindred halo]

The best marketplace to ever exist

[empty quartz]

Unless you’re buying asus motherboards

[kindred halo]

Lmao, why?

[empty quartz]

Asus boards on their way to die/kill a cpu the second the warranty expires

[kindred halo]

Which did you get btw

[kindred halo]

Reminds me of a quote I heard once
"If your fridge starts leaking before the warranty expires, it's Chinese. If it starts leaking five minutes after it expires, it's Italian."

[abstract wigeon]

wasnt this asrock aswell recently

[empty quartz]

Idk

[kindred halo]

Wait how's this look?

[azure topaz]

like a monitor arm

correct me if im wrong

[empty quartz]

This piece of shit killed my 5820k and itself

[peak knot]

i mean thats what asus x99 boards do

[kindred halo]

I mean.. Does it look shit? Okay? Good?
Sorry if you're being sarcastic and I am not getting it </3

[empty quartz]

I know

[azure topaz]

what im saying is that it kinda doesnt matter that much what you pick

[kindred halo]

Youch, sorry to hear

[azure topaz]

even the cheap shitty ones arent that bad, as long as they can hold up the monitor in the right position

[kindred halo]

Fair enough

[azure topaz]

i have a dual one at home, it was probably idk 20$ off of amazon and ive had it for 4 years

[empty quartz]

This board did the same, but thankfully it wasnt one of my expensive cpu’s @peak knot

[azure topaz]

is it a little shitty?

[peak knot]

you need a Rampage V extreme aniversary edition, that board is a revision on their RVE that fixes the killing issue

[kindred halo]

Honestly I was gonna get a wall based mount lmao
I want to replicate the FNAF 3 CCTV panel feel

[azure topaz]

yes but does it work better than the stock mount

[kindred halo]

I mean, atleast it works well lol

[azure topaz]

yeah exactly lol

its a pos but its a monitor stand theres not much to it

[empty quartz]

Point of sales??!!!! :3

[azure topaz]

yes

[dapper glacier]

I did the DDU and installed the drivers did a bench mark then black screened again

[kindred halo]

Position of Shot !!!!!!!!

[empty quartz]

pot of shit

[kindred halo]

Works aswell

Either this or the dual monitor one,,,

Okay unfortunately I can't find a normal gif for the FNAF 3 camera anim

[azure topaz]

id get the dual just to have two monitors tbh

one monitor on an arm then another on its stock stand looks weird af

[frigid blade]

LFG, he was able to get it down to $813 + $55 for shipping

For a full R940

[azure topaz]

yippie

[frigid blade]

Then I can wait for a good RAM deal

[azure topaz]

DDR4 ECC is pretty much always a good deal

[frigid blade]

its $400 for 512GB rn, I saw it at $350 but it sold out

[azure topaz]

32GB dimms for like 20$ a stick, you really cannot get much better than that

[frigid blade]

Im waiting for it to drop again

[azure topaz]

youre waiting for something that has no reason of happening in the near future

[frigid blade]

8x64 ^^

[kindred halo]

Fair enough

[frigid blade]

Why wouldnt it? It just happened

[kindred halo]

Although to be fair, I might just not use the other monitor at all lmao

It's 1440x900p

[azure topaz]

DDR4 has been at like 20$ a stick for ecc for at least 6 months (32gb) , and also cause theres no cause for that

what coming out recently is going to cause a shit ton of max spec ddr4 servers to go out of commission

[frigid blade]

Im pretty sure I can flip this for like $1.5k as is lol wtf

[azure topaz]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/177069499741?

370$ for 512GB

[latent pasture]

jedec masterrace

[frigid blade]

Is not a bad deal other than no RAM

well, 32GB but like

I wonder if this will sell easily

Comes out to $956.97 after taxes and shipping

I can upsell it for like $1.6k probably considering worse CPU sells for $1.7k

A lot of people do

[azure topaz]

im sure everyone does, nobody wants to from you though

because you just asked that, and you do

[frigid blade]

put it up on eBay

it will sell out fast

[tawny knoll]

because you're incredibly suspicious

You literally just joined and asked if we wanted new stuff cheap

[azure topaz]

totally good enough to be true

[tawny knoll]

Fr

[frigid blade]

They want me to join a discord server

[azure topaz]

why are scams getting more low effort, i thought it was supposed to be opposite

[tawny knoll]

Real

[azure topaz]

😭 no way are they just linking their personal server to get more members

is there a channel with like #deals or sumn

[frigid blade]

idk didnt join

[azure topaz]

🔥

[magic kraken]

indeed

[kindred halo]

Why can't I just use a SATA data cable for this shit ion got analog/digital or a massive ass host interface connector </3

[hasty warren]

RTSS reveals that my laptop GPU is barely hitting 50-60W
(It is a 160W GPU)
Also the laptop is constantly at 90-100°C

[kindred halo]

It's a laptop GPU

If it hit 160 I think your laptop would burn

[hasty warren]

Exsctly

It literally heats my place while gaming

[azure topaz]

every computer does that

a desktop computer would do the same, but moreso

just because it doesnt get hot does not mean its not pumping out heat into your room

[hasty warren]

Thankfully the heat pattern on the keyboard is designed away from WASD

[hasty warren]

Yea it is somewhere in the end

[azure topaz]

the temperature of your components has little to do with the heat being put into the room by the machine

[azure topaz]

solely the wattage

which may influence other things but those things are not the cause nor the effect

well i mean i guess they could be the effect but wahtever

watts=heat in your room

there is no way around this aside from moving the heat source from your room

you can have a baller 1000$ custom loop setup and that will not change anything

if anything, it makes your computer more efficient at making your room hotter, because it can cool itself down faster

[kindred halo]

Just tell the heat to leave your room

It cannot legally increase the room's temperature without your consent

[azure topaz]

true

[kindred halo]

I think you also might be confusing laptop GPU & desktop GPU TDPs

[azure topaz]

i also think so

160w gpu in a laptop is a pretty high end laptop and for some reason i dont think this is the case

[kindred halo]

Unless they're using a brick-thick GTX 400 series laptop

[hasty warren]

No they advertise the laptop with 140w gpu (not 160, my bad)
But obviously this oven can't sustain more wattage unless it is submerged in liquid nitrogen
50w and it goes 90°C

[azure topaz]

yeah and everyone else does that too lowkey

[hasty wing]

Hey all,

Looking to upgrade my GPU for programming, Blender, video editing, and some gaming with ray tracing. Budget is £200–£300, AMD only, 12GB VRAM preferred, no RGB, and reliable brands only. Any recommendations or good UK stores to buy new? Thanks!

[azure topaz]

to the point where intel has a tdp thats only a couple seconds long

specifically designed basically for number inflation

(higher advertised clocks, single core scores, etc)

[hasty warren]

To be specific
rtx 3060 6gb 1.7ghz (boost), 140W
Actually runs at: 40W 90°C (and I didnt read the clock)

[latent pasture]

that shouldnt be the case

[hasty warren]

wdym

[kindred halo]

Unsure, but.. Maybe the 6700 XT / 7600 XT can suit what you need?

[latent pasture]

somethings probably wrong with the cooling because if they advertise 140w then it should be able to

130w 3060 laptop for example

well 127 is not quite 130 but close enough

[kindred halo]

Toothpaste for thermal paste

[latent pasture]

definitely not throttling at 50-60w

[hasty warren]

I'll recheck benchmarks of my specific laptop to see what clocks and temps they have

And yes it could be bad cooling, maybe the 3yo thermal paste needs replacement lol

used 1yr, and was in warehouse for 2y (according to the date of the battery -- if thats something to go by)

[latent pasture]

is the fan spinning up

maybe its stuck on silent mode or osmething

[hasty warren]

yea it is a jet engine

Not at all, it takes off

[reef osprey]

guys, what would be the best setup for a 4070 ti? Am4 and AM5 wise

[latent pasture]

5700x3d and 7600

[hasty warren]

Commodore64

[reef osprey]

so 5800x3d is too much, as well as a 7800x3d?

[tawny knoll]

Depends on your monitor

[reef osprey]

oh, sorry, a 1440p

[latent pasture]

5700x3d and 5800x3d perform very close so just get whichever is cheaper, which is usually 57 bc 58 has stopped production

its the same cpu just 4.1 vs 4.4ghz

[tawny knoll]

I'd get a 7800x3d because AM5, its still a live socket and can be upgraded easily in the future

[latent pasture]

with a 7800x3d ud probably get to am6 before u upgrade

[kindred halo]

Get an 8300g

[tawny knoll]

i wouldnt get AM4 because its a dead socket and you get a sizable perfomance jump up to the 7800x3d. It all depends on your local prices tho

If you want to save money a 9700x would do you just fine in my opinion

[steel umbra]

unless you need more multicore

also am5 has long time to go

[reef osprey]

I usually watch a stream, have some tabs open while playing, but thats about it

[azure topaz]

if you have the money for am4, buy lga 1700, if you have the money for a 5700x3d, buy am5

[steel umbra]

we don't know if amd's next two gens will be mediocre, poor or great

[latent pasture]

id rather err on the side of caution cuz amd is literally just copying nvidia

it needed high public flogging to get them to update abx300 mobo to zen 3

[tawny knoll]

Fingers crossed zen 6 will be on AM5

[hasty warren]

1st video about a similar laptop (but with 3070) mentions thermal paste going bad after 1y

[reef osprey]

atm I got a ryzen 5600, with a 4070 ti, but I wanted to upgrade for a future 6070ti or 6080

[brave brook]

where in the hell did you find an IDE CD/DVD ROM ?

[steel umbra]

it will be

[tawny knoll]

Yeah i'd go 7800x3d if you have the money for it tbh

[latent pasture]

9070xt which is quite a bit better than 4070ti and in a lot of stuff its still gpu bound

[reef osprey]

in a future 6070ti/6080, that 7800x3d wouldnt bottleneck, right?

[kindred halo]

What?
It's just an HP Disc drive
HP dvd1035

[latent pasture]

unless u play one of those games which r more 'simulation' based rahter than relying on gpu for fps
or some of the notoriously unoptimized games that x3d magically fixes
even just going r5 7600 to enter am5 for cheap is fine with ur 4070ti currently @reef osprey

[tawny knoll]

Real

I love x3d magic

[kindred halo]

x3

[reef osprey]

hmmm

[verbal sparrow]

So did microsfot just nuke the calendar and Mail app on Windows 10? I can't find them on the store, and they arent on my system anymore either

[latent pasture]

first man on earth to use windows calendar and mail

[verbal sparrow]

I switched mail to thunderbird, so whatever, but where is my calendar app

[kindred halo]

On the drive itself:
"DVD multi recorder ROL" - "RW DVD + R DL"

I can't really use it though, atleast when properly inserted into the system

Too little clearance to plug in PATA

[hallow jasper]

Yes/No, depends on the title.

[agile stag]

hey i submerged my laptop in water to clean it is there anything extra i should do before i get it dry again so that it can be cleaner

[reef osprey]

oh

[hallow jasper]

Is this day 2 of worrying about bottlenecks? Stop it. Just play games.

[agile stag]

i wiped it down a good amount with a sponge so it looks fairly clean compared to before but idk if theres anything else that i should do

[reef osprey]

😅

[true stirrup]

You are crazy

[agile stag]

i use a 3060 with a 5960x and i havent had any issues playing any of the games i play

[agile stag]

sometimes

[kindred halo]

The unprompted satire is LOUD
Imagine though lmao

[agile stag]

SATIRE

[kindred halo]

I forgot the word for it
Sarcasm?

[hallow jasper]

*screaming for attention

[latent pasture]

if its completely clean water its not actually harmful
assuming its off ofc

[kindred halo]

Whar?

[agile stag]

im bored and its something to do

[hallow jasper]

Them

[kindred halo]

You probably should've also removed the battery beforehand too

[kindred halo]

Ah okay

[agile stag]

i did leave the cmos batt in i do wonder if thatll do things

[tawny knoll]

Yes

[kindred halo]

It might? Unsure though

[agile stag]

i have a full donor laptop though so ill see

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cheese-gif-25732604

[agile stag]

light computer brain damage

[kindred halo]

Sir/ma'am why're you stupid

[brave brook]

which is an IDE (PATA) DVD drive. That thing is over 20 years old, before SATA was a thing

[tawny knoll]

They did say no HPs please

even tho thats a dell

[agile stag]

itll be funny and the laptop was not really worth much anyways

[kindred halo]

It came with the computer case

[hallow jasper]

It saddens me that some won't know who this is

[agile stag]

the parts donor im using didnt sell for 5$ so im uh gonna do something with it

[kindred halo]

I never bothered to plug this one in properly, unlike the one on my last computer

[brave brook]

last motherboards with that connector were made around 2010-2012

[tawny knoll]

That's obviously jeremy clarkson

[tidal geyser]

i hate amazon

[hallow jasper]

get out

[tawny knoll]

:(

[kindred halo]

Yikes. My socket's a year off

[agile stag]

ide isnt worth worrying about

[brave brook]

https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Express-Controller-Adapter-PEX2IDE/dp/B000YAX13Y but the price ain't worth it

[agile stag]

you can buy an adapter but if youre looking for function then a sata optical drive would probably be cheaper than the adapter

[kindred halo]

Motherboard itself is 2 years off, June 2014

[kindred halo]

I think I'll just buy a SATA based drive tbh

[brave brook]

yep. people throw out SATA DVD drives for free

[tidal geyser]

box

[swift moss]

Startech makes so much stuff (half of it is overpriced)

[tawny knoll]

Real

[kindred halo]

I don't have a use to a DVD drive anyway

[agile stag]

i had a big ass pile but after a year or two i purged most of them since theyre so common and USELESS unless you use them

[swift moss]

What cad did you use for that gridfinity box?

[kindred halo]

As odd as that statement is to me

Times have changed unfortunately, and I no longer use DVDs </3

[tawny knoll]

Optical media bad

[tidal geyser]

a free one

[agile stag]

i plan on getting into them but not really the computer side of things though

[swift moss]

Ew fusion 😭😭

[tidal geyser]

what do you mean

[swift moss]

I am judging lol

[agile stag]

but mmm home theater stuff and a physical media collection sounds fun

[tidal geyser]

fusion is great

[swift moss]

Imagine having like 1500 Autodesk launchers on ur pc

[lethal bay]

when their servers aren’t shutting themselves

[kindred halo]

My only uses for it was mostly downloading (most probably) pirated games

[swift moss]

Use something completely offline like Solidworks or completely online onshape

[tidal geyser]

wat

[lethal bay]

I love not being able to export projects because Autodesk’s servers are having issues

[swift moss]

Dude theres and Autodesk launcher and then a fusion launcher

[agile stag]

hm fair piracy is easy nowadays but im glad its around

i gotta get every dvd though every movie and show,,,

[swift moss]

Also I can't even use Autodesk eagle without paying which is already horrible

No native PCB implementation

[agile stag]

so far im at like 2/an unknown quantity so im on my way there

[tidal geyser]

ngl idc if it works it works

[swift moss]

Fair enough

It's just a massive, bloated program that runs horribly imo

[kindred halo]

Five. Hundred. Cardboard boxes of DVDs

[swift moss]

Onshape runs much better even on my phone

[brave brook]

i think i still got one BD reader drive i never used with BD disc 😄

[tidal geyser]

yeeaaa

[agile stag]

beautiful

[swift moss]

Dude Solidworks is smaller 😭

[tawny knoll]

bro has onshape on their phone?

[swift moss]

Tbf Solidworks uses a whole windows service for authentication

[agile stag]

ill get some blu ray stuff eventually but as it stands i dont even have a dvd player

[swift moss]

Yeah for reviewing designs and showing others

[kindred halo]

Best case in the history of man

[rough lagoon]

with the 9060xt preformance coming out, is it worth paying 80 more dollars for the 16gb version of the 5060ti

[agile stag]

ill get one though eventually once i see one that catches my eye but uh theres only a couple cool looking options and theyre both pricey

[kindred halo]

(I hate it with all my life)

[tawny knoll]

neat, i should probably get more into cad

[tidal geyser]

xd

its been out for hrs

[rough lagoon]

yeah ik

[carmine yew]

that's a personal opinion

[rough lagoon]

thats what i mean

[tawny knoll]

Just check perfomance per dollar graphs

[swift moss]

Can't do much on the phone though in terms of modelling lol

[rough lagoon]

i did 9060xt is like really good fps/dollar

[tawny knoll]

yeah, i figured lol

[kindred halo]

The inside is a little cosier

[swift moss]

You can use onshape on Linux as well with a 0gb file size as well since it's browser based @tidal geyser @tawny knoll

[tawny knoll]

If the 5060ti has better value get that, if the 9060xt has better get that, thats my opinion tho and yours may differ

[agile stag]

also grr i forgot to pull the ram on that laptop but also its only a 512 so its ok

[carmine yew]

do you need CUDA for any productivity tasks?

[tidal geyser]

lets hope it fits

[tawny knoll]

They trade blows pretty much everywhere, so its competitive and i would pretty much never recommend the lower end Nvidia cards

[tidal geyser]

do not worry about the end i have a different version

[tidal geyser]

pc older then me

[rough lagoon]

only for like python

[agile stag]

maybe it comes close for me but idk i dont worry about it though

[kindred halo]

Not a high bar

[carmine yew]

python uses cuda?

[rough lagoon]

sometimes

idk a lot abt cuda

doesnt rly matter (for me)

[carmine yew]

do you know what cuda is?

[swift moss]

Free version is a little bit suspicious though because all of your designs are public

[rough lagoon]

not rly ik it has smth to do with programming lol

[carmine yew]

not really programming at all actually

[swift moss]

Yeah it's a graphics api

[rough lagoon]

damn i was off on that guess

[swift moss]

The only way cuda is used is through programming though?

You cannot reference a cuda core without making a call to it

[carmine yew]

or one of the many productivity apps that leverage cuda that requires no programming by the user

[tidal geyser]

😐

[carmine yew]

if you want to build an app that uses cuda? That means you need to know the programming.

But to use Blender or something? No programming at all

[tidal geyser]

my fillet was nuked for some reason so i had to add it again

[tawny knoll]

Fusion moment

[carmine yew]

Cuda is both the Cores as well as the Language.
to use the cores doesn't mean you need to know shit about the language.

[rigid fjord]

dell latitiude d420 ? with ddr2 ?

[royal scaffold]

After paying how much more than a desktop would you consider a laptop comparable to it?

[tidal geyser]

cant

[carmine yew]

depends on the parts, there's no math formula

[carmine yew]

for example:
you can't match a 5090 in a laptop no matter how much you spend

[rigid fjord]

@agile stag??

[swift moss]

The people who write cuda programs program them though

[tidal geyser]

no its y′+p(x)y=g(x)yα,(1)

[carmine yew]

yes, but to use cuda, you don't have to know how to program

[swift moss]

It does have something to do with programming, although you are right, it is not exclusively used by programmers

[royal scaffold]

But still roughly.

There was a time when Intel called their dual core CPUs "i7", I'm sure they wouldn't compete, but what about mid ranges where the specs are near?

[rigid fjord]

you forgot to carry the '1'

[swift moss]

Yeah sorry I was typing that out

[carmine yew]

no such comparison

there are plenty of "i5" mobile CPUs that have 2 P-Cores, and a stack of E-Cores.

[rigid fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/frink-professor-frink-nerd-simpsons-math-gif-15081601

[tidal geyser]

i have a stack of i5 cpus of NUCs

[royal scaffold]

What are NUCs?

[tidal geyser]

even 6th gen just 2 cores nothing more

[rigid fjord]

pc's tinier than an stx build

[brave brook]

only laptop ULV and Y CPUs were ever dualcore under i7 name

[azure topaz]

even i7's

[azure topaz]

source: me, my 1265u (still pretty good)

[tidal geyser]

i need to boot my i7 NUC and see how many cores

[carmine yew]

physically small computers

[tidal geyser]

my i5 1335u sucks massive balls

[brave brook]

small "mini PC"

[royal scaffold]

||i5 5200U here.||

[brave brook]

*with exception of certain NUC Extreme models

[azure topaz]

i have no idea why yours is so bad but mine is fine

[azure topaz]

1265u scores a little higher than a 4th gen 8c xeon

more than enough for a thin and lite

[royal scaffold]

Do people even consider these desktops?

[brave brook]

i never bought any of these low profile models. 2.5" is a must 😛

[brave brook]

do you consider a Mac Mini a desktop ?

[royal scaffold]

I personally like to call them laptop without peripherals or battery.

[carmine yew]

Now THIS is a very specific give away on the free list:

500W Projector Bulb

[tidal geyser]

i have 3 of 2.5, 2 are sucky and i3 4010u but one is the coolest being a i7 5th gen

[royal scaffold]

I consider it a laptop in the face of a desktop.

[carmine yew]

it's absolutely a desktop

[royal scaffold]

But they literally come with laptop CPUs.

[brave brook]

i had one very long time ago (probably same gen as that i3), then a Zotac mini PC, then gave up on them for HTPC duties 😄

[royal scaffold]

U series...

[carmine yew]

Apple Silicon is Apple Silicon

and Apple Silicon is such a W chip vs anything x86 is anymore, it's nuts how good they are

[royal scaffold]

Let's keep Apple aside, only God knows how did they manage to build those powerful chips that could outperform much expensive ones that too without running the fans.

Let's keep the chat to regular Intel, AMD, etc. PCs.

[swift moss]

So true, shame it's ruined by literally everything else Apple like their MacBook internals and operating system

[tidal geyser]

shit its yet another 2 core NUC

[carmine yew]

lol, oh, I fuckin' hate apple and most of the shit they do.

Yet somehow they've managed to make some absolutely STELLAR tech along the way

[tidal geyser]

all my NUCs are 2 core 😦

[swift moss]

So real 😭

[carmine yew]

Why? Is apple hardware not tech?

[royal scaffold]

I always considered Apple the quiet kid since my childhood...

[swift moss]

Macbooks need to get rid of their bootloader and bios and also remove the secure enclave and replace it with a normal fuxking tpm

[brave brook]

anything before 8th gen is dualcore in ULV and Y series

[carmine yew]

also: repairable storage shouldn't be a luxury, jesus christ.
Built in SSDs that you can't repair or replace is nuts(on anything above a phone/tablet)

[tidal geyser]

😦

i do have a i3 10th gen

that is the one i plan on using for some fun stuff

[tidal geyser]

nice

[frigid blade]

reset it

[manic sapphire]

i dont wanna lose my data tho

[manic sapphire]

i tried over 100 times

[agile stag]

i guess its doing its job fairly well then

[frigid blade]

Isnt all the data on a micro SD card?

Can read it off

[manic sapphire]

there's an internal storage and micro SD

[frigid blade]

Ah

[manic sapphire]

i have a micro SD

so no worries about that

just the things on my internal that im worried for

usb debugging is turned off so idk if there's much to do

[frigid blade]

test every combination of pins

[azure topaz]

blow up the motherboard

[formal sonnet]

Without USB debugging or a way to enable USB mass storage... You're likely out of luck. On newer devices, the storage is fully encrypted by the unlock PIN, so there isn't really a way to recover or access information without entering that PIN. No idea if your Tab 4 does this though but if it was bought in the last 10 years, it likely does.

[manic sapphire]

yeah

[tawny knoll]

My mobile data currently is faster than my home internet...

Synth Potato 🥔 (@SynthPotato)

Multiple reliable insiders are now all claiming the same thing:

Red Dead Redemption 2 Remastered is coming Fall 2025.

After countless years of community requests for this remaster, it looks like a proper remaster bringing new graphics, features, haptic feedback and most importantly 60FPS to consoles is FINALLY going to happen.

I absolutely cannot wait to replay my favorite game of all time with a new coat of paint and go for the platinum this time ❤️

vxTwitter / fixvx · Jun 4, 2025, 8:01 PM

This remaster is as pointless as the Days Gone remaster

[random gyro]

doing everything but working on gta 6

[ebon marlin]

Why are we remastering modern games that already look graphically impressive 😭

[tidal geyser]

Why not

And money

[ebon marlin]

That ain't gonna make much money

People already own RDR2 no reason to buy it again

[elder quarry]

Much profit ratio

[ebon marlin]

Is the Days Gone remaster out

Since that game already had a poor launch and now it's gonna get an even poorer relaunch

[strong sail]

Nobody asked for this

[ebon marlin]

Quite literally

[rigid fjord]

funily enough no, but you want the software running any time you plan to play any game

[ebon marlin]

Man fuck this state of play just give us Re9

You don't want to make the alpha angry grrr

[random gyro]

bully 2

[ebon marlin]

Much rather that than a fucking RDR2 remaster

[grave oracle]

Yoo what’s the actual best antivirus/computer protection suite I can get

[ebon marlin]

Or even a Bully remaster

[elder quarry]

Linux + ufw and a brain

[random gyro]

windows defender + ur brain

[rigid fjord]

i haven't either, but tbh comparing a keylogger to 8bitdo software is laughable

[elder quarry]

Or this

[latent gull]

Arctic still the king afaik

[plush wren]

wtf are u installing

[odd marsh]

Especially for AMD ye

[true stirrup]

77°C is fine
(120mm is still crappy tho)

[plush wren]

oh controller software

[hidden hill]

8bitdo software this looks wrong though

[plush wren]

download from microsoft store then

[latent gull]

Oh, does it matter?

[elfin shoal]

but my cpu is doing nothing

its at like 25% usage

[true stirrup]

120mm AIO moment

[odd marsh]

Yeah they perform a good amount better on AMD chips due to where the hotspot is, I think it’s still technically the best on Intel, but the other options are way closer

[rigid fjord]

that be how the folder is done

[plush wren]

probably chinese letters as the name

[hidden hill]

Ngl I forgot about Microsoft store

[hidden hill]

You guys use it for anything?

[true stirrup]

You can forget about it again

[hidden hill]

I just grabbed it off of Microsoft store

[hidden hill]

Lmao

[plush wren]

i think i used it to download python but it gave me cancer so i had to uninstall it

[true stirrup]

Don't install Python from there
It just messes stuff up

[plush wren]

yeah

and just used it for this

actually idk nvm i use another codec for heif and allat

[elder quarry]

[elder quarry]

Then you aren’t just using Microsoft cplupcjamp, also what games are you playing

[rigid fjord]

you could have grabbed it from 8bitdo's website instead

[plush wren]

fool proof

[elder quarry]

Steam compatibility tool (proton)

[rigid fjord]

https://app.8bitdo.com/Ultimate-Software-V2/

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/cattitude-cat-cats-go-ahead-interested-gif-17552064

[hidden hill]

omg lol

[fresh escarp]

for how much i could sell my https://consumer.huawei.com/en/monitors/mateview-gt-27-se/ in euros?

[rigid fjord]

you have the wifi adapter connected to the pc ?

[hidden hill]

working now ty

[hidden hill]

yep

[steel umbra]

120?

[elder quarry]

5 to me

[steel umbra]

i'll do 4 then

[elder quarry]

3:99

[agile stag]

if its lucky ill maybe put xp on it but otherwise i might just list both for 5$ and see if anyone wants them

its not a biohazard anymore though so thatll be nice

[fresh escarp]

insane, mom got it for around 350ish i think

[agile stag]

monitors dont resell the best at all

[steel umbra]

two hundred fifty-nine pennies and six minutes

[agile stag]

better than cases though

[elder quarry]

1 SEK

[steel umbra]

yeah that's too much

[steel umbra]

1 nanosecond

[elder quarry]

Not a currymency >:/

[fresh escarp]

i mean probs for aroun 300ish, cause works all good, just im thinking going ultra-wide

[steel umbra]

0.9 nanoSEK

[agile stag]

i paid 120 for my new 180hz 27' 1080p monitor if that does anything

[wheat torrent]

Can I take a HDD apart completely

[agile stag]

ive seen some nice deals used though but grr no sub100$ oleds yet but maybe one day

[elder quarry]

“Completely”?

[steel umbra]

i don't think it's using a proper mid range VA, iirc it has ghosting

[agile stag]

it depends on your definition of completely but sure

[wheat torrent]

Is there glued parts or things that can't be taken out

[agile stag]

probably

[steel umbra]

i don't think anyone will pay more than 200 in modern times for that monitor

[elder quarry]

You can take glued stuff off my friend

[agile stag]

there is a hidden screw

usually

[fresh escarp]

uh it has tiny atleast for my experience

[wheat torrent]

So it can be fully disassembled without breaking any component

[agile stag]

as soon as the platter sees the open air consider it broken

[wheat torrent]

Is it trox

[agile stag]

yes

[steel umbra]

search for white/silver text on black/grey and scroll

[wheat torrent]

That's fine, I want to use it as wall decoration

[agile stag]

torx

[rigid fjord]

set a shortcut for it on your task bar

[wheat torrent]

But I want to fully disassemble it in pristine conditions

[agile stag]

you can do that but fingerprints are a concern

and presentation is gonna be hard too

but its doable

[wheat torrent]

Do I use gloves or will that still affect it, can I submerge it in alcohol later

[carmine sorrel]

This may be a stupid question but usb header splitters work right, like if i need a extra on on my motherboard i can just use a splitter?

[agile stag]

gloves are good

[wheat torrent]

I'm going to spread it on an a3 frame

[rigid fjord]

it'll run xp easily, but it can also run win7 just as easily using the same drivers it would use for win XP

[wheat torrent]

Might even print an a3 with various explanations for the sake of it

Drawings and whatnot

I just need to disassemble it in a good way no bends no nothing

I watched an yt video and the guy literally bended the front plate in half when taking it out

[rigid fjord]

torx/security torx screwbit needed tbh

[wheat torrent]

So it's a special type of torx

[steel umbra]

https://youtu.be/V3XuHrNQygA? yeah... i wouldn't pay personally even 120 for this

but that's just me

[wheat torrent]

I have the most basic set of screwdriver bits

[steel umbra]

the current market may give you 150 for example

[elfin shoal]

evil temps

my dads pc with a 9700k and a 240 was sitting at 58c while drawing more power

[wheat torrent]

Something like this is what I'm going for

But it feels like here some parts are missing

[agile stag]

hmm thats fair also though thats only if its lucky since i dont feel especially fond of it so i might sell it without a drive but if it does get one its getting xp

[agile stag]

thats not completely disassembled

[wheat torrent]

I'm unsure if I'll be able to use the glass part on the frame

I would want to have glass to prevent it from gathering dust

On the platter

[agile stag]

its also missing screws on the frame

[steel umbra]

it's barely better than bottom barrel 2021'ish samsung VA

[wheat torrent]

Or disks whatever

[wheat torrent]

I would hope so
