[sinful dune]

Nvm

[frail delta]

So you're in the US?

[cosmic stratus]

Yep

[frail delta]

Ah, 10:53pm not 10:53 am

[sinful dune]

Now I was thinking of getting this and some other things for my future eGPU

[cosmic stratus]

Bro will either go with what I found so far or we just buy a cheap dell precision t5810 with a good xeon cpu and ugrade that

[sinful dune]

Thse good for egpus?

[spring latch]

I think it might be a good idea to quit using my laptop on my bed. It just overheated thrice and shut itself off, which for a Pentium Silver is crazy

[cosmic stratus]

Might just buy that for lossless scaling lmao

[cosmic stratus]

Bro.. you used it in bed...

[spring latch]

weirdass

[cosmic stratus]

Did you not have a flat board to sit it on in your bed

[sinful dune]

I found one for 500. Won't be an issue if I keep blowing my money I'm not smart

[spring latch]

nah, but the odd thing is this is a new issue, but idk this is windows im dealing with, not very suprised

[cosmic stratus]

Oh a pentium silver

[spring latch]

yeah the 10W chips

[cosmic stratus]

Not what I meant

[sinful dune]

Like i get paid 400 weekly as a barista. It's like $12 an hour. It's like 6 hour shifts a day

[spring latch]

altho either way im not very suprised, windows 11 idles at around 70C idle, linux in the mid 50s, im just lifting the back up with a sandal for some flow

might be a good idea to eventually hack a fan onto it

[stray cairn]

@gilded imp

Rotiform Aerodiscs

[gilded imp]

Got a closer pic?

[cosmic stratus]

Ohh passive cooling aswell

[stray cairn]

Avant Garde wheels

[cosmic stratus]

Hate the model 3

That version anyway, looks so gah damm ugly in the front

[frigid blade]

That was a surprise

My dad just came home with a puppy

[sinful dune]

anyone know wats happening here...

[harsh vector]

If I go with fractal torrent there’s no place to put my gpu stand

[frigid blade]

Have to send these here because yes

[cosmic stratus]

Steam probably crashed. Try relaunching

[sinful dune]

Reset my things multiple time. Like it's on another screen. I only got 1

Even re seated my shit

Still happening

[cosmic stratus]

Its AS IF its on another screen? or is it actually opening on another screen

[sinful dune]

i have 1 screen plugged in

[cosmic stratus]

M ok

[spring latch]

shift click the icon and click maximize

[sinful dune]

HDMI not even plugged in

[spring latch]

shift click the icon and click maximize

[cosmic stratus]

Yea try that

[spring latch]

always works for me

[sinful dune]

Still nothing. This time my pc froze for a couple seconds

think i needa upgrade to this

[steel umbra]

i recommend building pc yourself

it's like more fragile lego

if you have der time do it

[gleaming rose]

$1199 is bullshit

that's like a $500-600 PC right there

[steel umbra]

there are gazillion guides on yt how to assy everything

[sinful dune]

im only a 14 year old. i dont trust myslef lol 😭

[gleaming rose]

I built my PC at 13

its not hard

[steel umbra]

similarly

[sinful dune]

its in AUD

[gleaming rose]

slightly more reasonable

[steel umbra]

still

[sinful dune]

its 778.81 USD

[gleaming rose]

yeah do it yourself man

[sinful dune]

im a heavy gamer

[steel umbra]

also i don't know a psu going under naming of "A750"

[gleaming rose]

save up some more money

[steel umbra]

prob some sketchy gamemax-like psu

[sinful dune]

i need the extra power for game development as wall

[sinful dune]

company has been around scince 2018

[steel umbra]

you're wasting time typing this here ngl, pc takes few hours to build if you're slow

[sinful dune]

gopod enough/plus idgaf if i get scammed

/i could jkust do a n egpu anyway for 500 AUD

tf is a "/" doing

[steel umbra]

few hours of work for a cheaper and possibly more reliable system is worth it

[gleaming rose]

game development on there is gonna be tough

[sinful dune]

the gpu is close eniought to the power of a rtx 4070i think

[gleaming rose]

nooope

[sinful dune]

its a RX 7600

[gleaming rose]

I can read yes

[steel umbra]

rx 7600 = rtx 4060 or worse

[gleaming rose]

worse

[frigid blade]

Doggo cam coming soon

[sinful dune]

i was a little off but not much

[steel umbra]

is this ai

[frigid blade]

Can’t just look at a single sentence

[dusty dew]

well at least it aint the 5060, which is the 6500xt of 2025

[frigid blade]

Look at actual stats

[sinful dune]

my screen cut some of it out

[gleaming rose]

it seems like you wouldn't take our advice if it was dipped in money

[sinful dune]

i dont do that much gaming just play alot

[gleaming rose]

this sentence contradicts itself

[sinful dune]

i mostly play games at 720p

who cares at this point

[steel umbra]

the company that builds computers?

[sinful dune]

builds prebuilts

[steel umbra]

doesn't change the fact that psu is likely a ticking death-bomb

[sinful dune]

god dam how is it time bomb in ur meaning..

😐

[steel umbra]

you don't want a part that supplies juice to every component just suddenly explode and implode

[steel umbra]

that it can kill your components

burn down your house

raise your electricity bills with low efficiency and pf

[sinful dune]

oh

[steel umbra]

just die out of nowhere after warranty

[sinful dune]

why dont i buy the prebuilt and swap out hte psu with a betetr one from the market

is that easier

[steel umbra]

just build yourself at that point

[frigid blade]

Or or or, do this with all the parts without buying the prebuilt

[steel umbra]

entirely

[frigid blade]

Build it yourself you can buy better stuff with the money you save

You’ll learn something new

[steel umbra]

anyways if the manufacturer of the psu is a total moron (which there are cases of) the psu can indeed catch on fire and if there is something flammable like carpet near you could be donzo

[sinful dune]

well pc components are hard to get to at my location. plus australia post is shit. had to get my item deliver multiple times bc it would neve show up

my floor is concrtete 😭

[haughty kernel]

Hi guys, I have a Ryzen 7 2700x 50th anniversary edition, does anyone know if it woulbe worth anything more than the regular 2700x, I haven't used the Lisa Su sticker either

[sinful dune]

alr ima get off and look at parts myslef

[sinful dune]

ill listen

[steel umbra]

list what are you going to use the pc for

[sinful dune]

gamimg / work

[gleaming rose]

be specific

[sinful dune]

medium gaming. but i do play cs2

[gleaming rose]

yes I too love medium. It's my favorite game

[sinful dune]

something that can handle shaders and blender without crashing

[gleaming rose]

shaders where?

in blender?

[sinful dune]

adding shaders to make games look better

[gleaming rose]

asin reshade?

[sinful dune]

blender crashed in ther middle of me modeling

just something that handles these games at a solid fps like 95

[meager shell]

Hay folks, i just bought some RAM (HyperX impact DDR4 2400mhz) for my old laptop acer aspire A314-41 . But when i attach the RAM it just appears black screen. It works fine when i detach the RAM.
Can anybody help me with this problem?
Thank you folks

[sinful dune]

faulty RAM or RAM slot

[solar moat]

you have 2 ram slots and ram sticks try swaping the ram in system now into other slot
and then try other stick in slot that works
so you test both stick 1 at time in both slots

if both stick work in slot 1 its slot 2 dead
if 1 stick works in both its dead ram stick

[steel umbra]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/GdW2Nz you can swap the 7600 for a ryzen 5 7500f or 7400f if you want cheaper

or case if you don't like it

also add one arctic p12

[sinful dune]

good pricing. i just need somthing small form. shoulda said that. i got a small ass desk.

[empty quartz]

@peak knot good news and bad news

[steel umbra]

matx

case

[sinful dune]

k

[empty quartz]

Good news; both my 5820k’s work
Bad news; my x99-a usb 3.1 is dead

[solar moat]

RIP

[meager shell]

I just have 1 slot that can be attach. The other one is embbeded

[sinful dune]

im going towards this MATX

[steel umbra]

jonsbo has offrerings, coolermaster has that cubic frame case i forgot name of but that one has not the greatest airflow but it's fine

[empty quartz]

At least my new board is working

[solar moat]

ok

[steel umbra]

price?

[sinful dune]

$109

[solar moat]

send partnumber of the ram

[steel umbra]

too much

[sinful dune]

i used to have this monster of a case. but it was robbed 😦

DUAL gpu and everything

[steel umbra]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/Pfc3kf

buy few arctic p12/ maxes

[sinful dune]

yeah ill just stick with that

[solar moat]

@meager shell think i found a problem with the ram you got

[meager shell]

Can u see on this pic?
Cuz i dont know whats it is.

[peak knot]

ehh small price to pay for x99

[solar moat]

try to get some jedec ram

[thorn pewter]

x99 my beloved

[azure topaz]

c612 my beloved

[thorn pewter]

you my beloved floppa🫶

[peak knot]

x99 can suck eggs

i actively traded all my x99 stuff away

[thorn pewter]

trade them for me plzplz

especially from you🥰

well to be real for a second x99 is still somewhat relevent for alot of homelabs

[meager shell]

Okay man.
Thanks

[solar moat]

since the timings on the ram is not normal ones

[fickle ivy]

Been going for like 5 hours and it's only at 13%

[swift moss]

I have an x99 server :D (e5 2680 V4)

[swift moss]

Still, it's aging. 2016 now

[peak knot]

i only have one x99 based platform left

its a 2x cpu 1u server rack with 2x 14 core xeons in it

and 128gbs of ddr4 ecc ram

[swift moss]

Ddr4 still not cheap in NZ unfortunately

I only have 16gb but it suits my needs

Better than the 96gb of DDR3 I had

Also went from 20/40 core xeon to 14/28 core xeon, for a generation up and not dual cpu

Honestly my HPE server was a big mistake

And I'm never buying under 4u ever again

[frigid blade]

You’re gonna love my r940

Getting one for $960

Crazy good deal

4x Gold 6138s

[real breach]

Please help adrenalin overlay keeps flashing like this and idk how to fix

I alr restarted the pc

[swift moss]

Not bad, at least it's a half modern xeon

[frigid blade]

Yah, was also looking at replacing them for the Platinum 8171M

But maybe not

[steel umbra]

if it persists after the restart try disabling it entirely

from showing upon launching a game

[harsh vector]

Don’t ssds get slower the more writes it has?

[steel umbra]

no

only when you're filling them up

[harsh vector]

SEAGATE 1TB FIRECUDA 530 M.2 NVME SSD

I’ve had this SSD as main boot for 3 years already. I also use it for the games that require the fastest SSD.

[steel umbra]

if you clear the drive it's like new unless something happens to the cells like when they become non functional

or other components on the drive

[real breach]

Wdym disabling?

[steel umbra]

can't you disable the overlay?

[frigid blade]

If you can’t, amd is buns

I turn off nvidia overlay, it’s ass

[steel umbra]

you can

[real breach]

With the L-control and L-shift and O key?

I alr tried that

[frigid blade]

No

Entirely, in the AMD app settings

Idk what it’s called, it’s almost certainly gonna have an option to turn off

Go to the performance tab on adrenaline

It’s under overlay and toggle show overlay off

[steel umbra]

and instead of the drive getting slower it's usually ded already

[frigid blade]

Or is it preference

https://www.amd.com/content/dam/amd/en/images/kb/dh-026/DH-026-00.png

Dawg

https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/faqs/DH-026.html#:~:text=Radeon Overlay is enabled by,uncheck or check Show Overlay.

[real breach]

Turn off and restart from here?

[frigid blade]

Yah turn off overlay

[real breach]

Ok im doing that

[frigid blade]

Probably don’t even need to restart but do it in case

[real breach]

Okay the pcs restarted

What else

[frigid blade]

If this don’t fix it, then AMD has fuckass software

[real breach]

Just enable it again?

[frigid blade]

No

Just keep it off, you can try turn it on again but if it keeps doing that just keep it off

[real breach]

Bruh need it tho 😭

[frigid blade]

For what

[real breach]

I use it to see if everything is correct/ around the temps/watts/fps that is considered norm

It still flashes

[frigid blade]

Use MSI afterburner then

[real breach]

I've had bad experiences in the past

[frigid blade]

Bruh

Well idk what to tell you that’s the only other option I know of

[real breach]

Bruh, msi afterburner and now the damn cards fps software hates me

[harsh vector]

Found this analogy

[steel umbra]

poor analogy

the ssd won't get slower atleast for what's perceivable without margin of error

[vale wing]

12 guage shotgun round to your left kneecap

I dont care you've been marked for death by the caesar

[harsh vector]

你知道漢語嗎？

[harsh vector]

So it’ll only slow down when it’s full?

Or nearly full

[steel umbra]

linearly very little slower

[sinful cobalt]

lets play russian roulette but with adrenaline (either it opens or it doesnt)

[steel umbra]

bigger concern is while filling the ssd

cache can get saturated and your ssd's speed will plummet 📉 only temporary ofc

[harsh vector]

This happens frequently

Shit goes down to 10mbps from 200 or something

[steel umbra]

if you're moving large files around

[gilded harness]

amd software when you actually want to do something in their software

[steel umbra]

probably not the nvme's fault

[vale wing]

me when im building the tower of babel and my coworker asks me a question

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/guten-morgen-good-morning-german-flag-german-teddy-bear-rise-and-shine-gif-27665331

[steel umbra]

loud

[plush wren]

what

oh

[steel umbra]

guten morgen bear very loud mods ban

[plush wren]

[mental wolf]

you've heard of noise canceling microphone

now get ready for noise cancelling driver

[steel umbra]

don't sony's have one drive only for each cup?

[analog widget]

from what i see for the 900 usd price point is the m4 mac air rlly the best their is i am just torn bc i have had a windows comeputer my whole life and i just recently got an iphone and the mac air fills what i need light gamging can video edit and it is light is their rlly anything else that fits that

[mental wolf]

it looks like they have an itty bitty driver on top of the primary one for noise canceling now

compared to last gen

[steel umbra]

oh cool

[mental wolf]

i think that's a driver at least

the cable is connecting 2 things and is double the width of last gen

i assume it's a mic and a speaker

cool.

[elfin shoal]

free 1tb ssd from my uncles polycade box

[steel umbra]

looks like only a single driver they have

from teardowns

[mental wolf]

i think the tear downs didn't look closely enough

that's definitely not just a microphone

[steel umbra]

can you circle where it is my eyes are way too sleepy

oh nvm

[vale wing]

does anyone else just look at their cpu and gpu in preformance and be like "hehe yes go my little cores. do my bidding and do my tasks efficiently"

like sometimes I'll just stare at my cpu monitor app and just watch their little graphs

am i psycho

[mental wolf]

yes

[steel umbra]

they're just microphones not drivers

[mental wolf]

if you say so. there must be 2 then

since the cable is twice as thick

[vale wing]

do it one day

[steel umbra]

there are 12 in total

[mental wolf]

why put 2 in the exact same place

[vale wing]

also 6C12T cpus underrated shoutout to them

[steel umbra]

pretty sure it has reason

[thorn pewter]

eh

barely

atleast hyperthreading and not ass like 8c/8t

i dont really like 6c/12t cpus that well as they make by tasks but not much as 8c/16t

[vale wing]

I'll cannibalize you

[thorn pewter]

indeed

[vale wing]

ok strange little nitpick on pc building communities i feel like people definitely over estimate what you need for a enjoyable experience for a gaming pc

[thorn pewter]

"key word" gaming pc

not everyone only games while using there machine

[vale wing]

i was talking to a tech office im friends with and i was like "hey ryzen 5 5600, gtx 1660s and 16gb ddr4 3200mhz" and they were like "does that even run windows 11"

[vale wing]

https://tenor.com/view/forlorn-sad-sorry-tigger-nvm-gif-26832999

[thorn pewter]

256mb of ddr2 can infact run 11

tho at that slowness its comical

more like running the background and taskbar

tho even then 1660s is jsut bad value

[vale wing]

i love watching budget pc channels because they're always so comical "yeah 27 fps its borderline playable if you really wanna play"

[thorn pewter]

i mean the 69$ ltt vid really holds up

[vale wing]

there's a british youtuber named budget builds ltd and he has some really good benchmarks

[thorn pewter]

yeah i have seen him a lot

[vale wing]

like his most recent video on the r9 fury nano is insane for how much it plays

[thorn pewter]

well modern apus are indeed very cappabile especialy for low cost tight space and tight budget bulids

i mean looking at something like the 8600g or the 5700g to name a few

[vale wing]

I honestly think 30fps at a locked rate is a enjoyable experience for someone who just wants to play their game when they're getting off work or something

especially if its offline

[thorn pewter]

i mean

ig so if you are a lil far away from the screen

30fps locked is miles ahead then something like choppy 45

[plush wren]

@502🇸🇦: Cooling for what 🥀 cpu has a aio so it doesn’t need those extra fans and case airflow and cooling for what.. the ram ? 🥀🥀

average tiktok comment

[vale wing]

tiktok pc builders need to be shot like animals in the street

lowest form of life right above keemstar fans

[thorn pewter]

sure

that reminds me

[vale wing]

I got a aio from my school for free

something something fury 240

[dusty mortar]

Bruh

[vale wing]

"16gb ddr4 isnt enough anymore"

[thorn pewter]

9060xt's release is very mediocre

[vale wing]

i was doing it a year ago im sure its fine

[thorn pewter]

indeed

[dusty mortar]

I was on 16gb till like 2 years ago💀

[vale wing]

32gb ddr4 tbf is a really cheap upgrade

[thorn pewter]

32 is were you can actually do shit with you're system without being memory constrained

[dusty mortar]

True, but some folks are on tight budgets

[vale wing]

yeah absolutely

[dusty mortar]

Could I game on 16gb? Yes
Am I going to willingly? Fuck no

[thorn pewter]

i doubt a set of 4x8 of ddr4 on ebay with some quick deal sniping would nudge over 20 usd

[vale wing]

yknow whats borderline unusable

[dusty mortar]

True, you’d have to get hella lucky for that tho

But if you’re dedicated and constantly watch I’m sure you could get it

[vale wing]

i have a gaming laptop that has a 1650M, some 10th gen and EIGHT GB OF DDR4

[thorn pewter]

not always, dd4 is more cheap these days

[dusty mortar]

True

[thorn pewter]

let me guess a msi laptop?

[vale wing]

negative

[thorn pewter]

lenovo?

[dusty mortar]

I built mine like 5-6 years ago and haven’t rlly paid hella close attention to prices

[vale wing]

id have to check actually

[dusty mortar]

250$ Chromebook

[vale wing]

chromebooks are so fucking bad its insane

[thorn pewter]

also ram size is also dictated by whcih generation you are buling on, vista's minim was 512mb after all

[vale wing]

celeron cpus need to be wiped from public consciousness

[dusty mortar]

Chat I might actually win

[vale wing]

I'll kill you

celeron d cpus you know what i meant

[latent pasture]

new chromebooks have like zen2 or 8core 12th gen

[dusty mortar]

What’d I do

[steel umbra]

actually i expected a bit worse

[gentle kestrel]

considering a chromebooks job is to handle a web browsers it's not like they really needed more cpu

[vale wing]

my school has celeron cpus and 4th gen i7s 💔

[dusty mortar]

I had to use one in middle school
It would bend if I moved the screen too fast

[thorn pewter]

they couldve sent the 8 gig for reviers but noo

[vale wing]

I posted this haul before a couple times but lowkey schools have heat

[dusty mortar]

Last time I used one, I opened like 5 tabs and it was shitting itself

[vale wing]

got this and another ssd and an aio for free

[dusty mortar]

Optiplex mentioned

They’re unironically hella solid

[vale wing]

do you think a 1050ti would fit in there

[dusty mortar]

Yes

[thorn pewter]

not the ones they have

[thorn pewter]

3050lp would easily it there fym

[gentle kestrel]

why would we be wasting our money on a 3050 for a computer that old

[dusty mortar]

If you just want a basic machine to do light games and regular workloads, then yes

[thorn pewter]

the ones charile has is in the intel dark ages

[vale wing]

the difference is a 3050 is $170 and I have a 1050ti like 10 feet away from me

[dusty mortar]

Yeah, but it’s better than nothing

[vale wing]

i also have a r7 370 that i have no idea what to do with

[thorn pewter]

r7 370?

[dusty mortar]

Put it in there, it’ll work as long as you can get the drivers

[gentle kestrel]

sandy bridge does not need an rtx card, it needs a bin to live in instead

[vale wing]

im an advocate of using old machines and not creating ewaste

[thorn pewter]

the ones they have is ivy btw

[latent pasture]

sandy bridge is still usable

[dusty mortar]

I got the same card and I’m putting it in this one

[thorn pewter]

a i7 3770 would do fine tbh

[gentle kestrel]

well the ewaste was already made

[steel umbra]

o no 💀

[dusty mortar]

Based

[dusty mortar]

Not waste if it’s being used

[vale wing]

idc glance upon my early i7s and i5s and weep and despair at my use of old tech

put a nice lil linux distro on it and badabing badaboom

[dusty mortar]

Hell yeah

[vale wing]

lily gets it

[thorn pewter]

honestly its a bit better value but still half the cores compared to its 70 rank brother is sad

[dusty mortar]

I’m making a behemoth that’s gonna have like 4-5 drives, each with a dif OS :3

[thorn pewter]

a plex server one these would be neat

[winter lantern]

I got 50 hours on a game i started 5 days ago am I cooked?

[steel umbra]

@thorn pewter does it make sense to you?
3060 12gb, 4060 8gb, 5060 8gb, 5060 ti 8gb
6600 8gb, 6600 xt 8gb, 7600 8gb, 7600 xt 16gb, 8gb 9060 xt

[thorn pewter]

mently yes

[dusty mortar]

Nah

[gentle kestrel]

no x86 v3 support kinda wild

[thorn pewter]

absolutely

[vale wing]

YESSS with the pc i have i can support mc server hosting

[dusty mortar]

You just got the game, you wanna play it a lot, eventually you won’t be on it as much

[vale wing]

great oogly moogly

[winter lantern]

Its a linear single player game

[dusty mortar]

This is why old dell workstations are baller

[winter lantern]

Not a live service

[vale wing]

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-james-dunk-explosive-lakers-lakerswin-gif-16401450

[thorn pewter]

even my iphone 3g could prolly host one lol, not even utlize a single core lol

[gentle kestrel]

is ivys gpu even new enough to support quicksync

[dusty mortar]

I’ve already got a drive with OS X snow leopard on it and the machine has win11. Imma rip a drive out of a laptop that has win8

[vale wing]

wheres your fun and whimsy man

[dusty mortar]

He doesn’t have any

[thorn pewter]

indeed

[vale wing]

this server has THE biggest haters

[gentle kestrel]

tbf spinning up a minecraft server isn't really a task of whimsy

[dusty mortar]

If yall need storage I know a guy

[gentle kestrel]

you grab a docker image and run a singular command

[vale wing]

using old tech to make a mc server is fun and cool

[winter lantern]

Everyone is a hater towards me 🥀

[thorn pewter]

@steel umbra 7600xt.

[vale wing]

and I think you should be shot by grapeshot

[dusty mortar]

Fr, like why you hatin on me using e-waste and giving it purpose

[thorn pewter]

quite frankly no one did that

[sinful cobalt]

mayb bcs u say stupid shit sometimes

[dusty mortar]

No reason to let perfectly fine old tech rot in a warehouse or basement when you could use it

[dusty mortar]

I am literally trying to do that

[gentle kestrel]

i could just use something modern instead

[vale wing]

ewaste is divine machinery if you throw it away you'll probably reincarnate as a flea

[thorn pewter]

at least x99 for bare minimum

[winter lantern]

Throwing away ewaste is crazy

[dusty mortar]

I could’ve just tossed my grandmas broken iMac (gpu was borked), but instead I ripped out the hdd, cpu, cd rom, and sd reader

[dusty mortar]

This is true

[gentle kestrel]

x99 is kinda cool but it's too pricey for the novelty of it now

5960x is still old junk at the end of the day

[vale wing]

old imacs with the colors and stuff need to be preserved

like forever

[sinful cobalt]

its considered ewaste because of how they are built and their computing performance in today’s era
If you can get it for free or dirt cheap and its functional then its not ewaste

[dusty mortar]

Only e-waste not worth saving is stuff that is genuinely unusable as in broken and doesn’t work

[sinful cobalt]

However on the market where their pricing dont make sense, its ewaste

[dusty mortar]

This was a 2011

[vale wing]

ohhh neat

[thorn pewter]

i mean homelab dual 2699v4's would be a base minuimim, but really almost any 1st gen ryzen would cook brodewell chips

[vale wing]

I LOVE CORE 2 DUO CPUS

[dusty mortar]

The gpu had given up

[gentle kestrel]

yeah but i’d be better served by an n100 then an old power draw monster for most things

[dusty mortar]

There was no way I could feasibly fix it so I salvaged as much as I could

[vale wing]

i cant hear you over the sound of my pentium 4

[thorn pewter]

e waste i would consider to to be cheap cheap new hardware

[vale wing]

can u repeat that

[dusty mortar]

It’s the 50mm fan going Mach 2

[vale wing]

💔

[gentle kestrel]

anything 7th gen or older mobile may as well be ewaste now

dual core is pretty cope

[vale wing]

i7 4790k is goated

[dusty mortar]

Tell me about it (my win8 laptop has dual core)

[latent pasture]

the old 4cores down to sandy bridge r still usable for most stuff

[vale wing]

especially if you're just doing some light gaming

[gentle kestrel]

i mean yeah i use a 2700k to model at work, it doesn’t make it an experience worth buying on ebay now though

[vale wing]

i dont think its too offensive

[dusty mortar]

Behold, the power of two cores

[steel umbra]

ignor

[gentle kestrel]

holy tn panel

[vale wing]

mine eyes hath seen glory

[gentle kestrel]

that would in fact quality as ewaste

[thorn pewter]

yeh

[vale wing]

the fact there is a debate means ewaste is a term that is in the eye of the beholder

one mans trash is another mans treasure

[thorn pewter]

what i mostly do with these old OptiPlex's are primarly to use for nas clusters

[gentle kestrel]

few man’s hour at a job gets a more usuable display

[latent pasture]

u can get a pretty ok gaming pc with an old 4core optiplex and an lp gpu for <$100

[dusty mortar]

Just like how the 1050ti I have I ripped out of a work station in a junkyard

[vale wing]

dude the 1050ti isnt even that bad thats a awesome find

[dusty mortar]

Oh it’s 100% useable

[vale wing]

I have an old gigabyte model

[dusty mortar]

For like, low load games it’s perfect

[dusty mortar]

Mine is…idek

[vale wing]

or if you wanna use it for emulation or play games from before 2015

[dusty mortar]

That too

[gentle kestrel]

holy oem card

[vale wing]

that is an insane oem card

[dusty mortar]

I’m giving my wife my gaming rig and using the amalgam once I make it and saving for a new iMac

[gentle kestrel]

surprised that’s enough metal to actually keep it cool enough to handle a load

[dusty mortar]

I got the card like, 6 years ago?

I was at the dump throwing things in a dumpster and told my grandma imma look at the computers people tossed

Saw it in a machine, yoinked it and put it in my pocket

Along with some ddr3 ram

Asked the worker if we were allowed to salvage tech, he said no and I just said “ok”

[vale wing]

my school's tech office just...sometimes has old shit coming through and ive taken a shit load of computer parts from them

[dusty mortar]

If it’s being thrown away, is it really stealing?

[dusty mortar]

[vale wing]

I found a white edition msi gt 730 in one of the computers 😭

[dusty mortar]

Oh shit

[vale wing]

im pretty sure it was being used just as a display card

[midnight wind]

shit can be powered over the pcie slot alone

[gentle kestrel]

that’s all it’s useful for yeah

[vale wing]

yeah

like hold on one sec

[midnight wind]

my bad

[gentle kestrel]

memory bandwidth of an ssd 🔥🔥🔥

[dusty mortar]

Yup

[dusty mortar]

Wuh?

[vale wing]

I have an xfx 4gb r7 370 i got out of a old gaming pc

[midnight wind]

it looks funny

[dusty mortar]

I wanna go back to the dump and just…salvage tech

[vale wing]

im genuinely not sure what it could run

[dusty mortar]

But they moved the e-waste section and you can’t get to it anymore:(

[opal kernel]

need opinions on my gaming setup

[dusty mortar]

Fair enough

[gentle kestrel]

where control

[midnight wind]

that trackpad was used by someone with finger acid

[opal kernel]

broke off when i tried to put it in the T430

[gentle kestrel]

it’s a literal sticker

[opal kernel]

it's a shit keyboard anyway. made by chicony

[gentle kestrel]

on that model

[dusty mortar]

Everyone has finger acid dingus

[opal kernel]

the NMB ones are the only good ones

[midnight wind]

uh..

[gentle kestrel]

soap enjoyers wya

[opal kernel]

it was so bad that i took it out of the T430 within an hour and just put the original back in

[dusty mortar]

:3

[midnight wind]

😱

oh you didn't say scream

[vale wing]

my salvaged gpus

the r7 370 could probably be used in a budget pc build

[dusty mortar]

Imma put it in the amalgam build :3

[steel umbra]

cookin gpu

[vale wing]

ooo

I love how chunky this 730 is its so unnecessary lol

[stray cairn]

I love reading this from my repo

[gentle kestrel]

is that actually a dual fan gt 730

whoever bought that originally was not cooking

[dusty mortar]

I’m sorry 240gb of ram?

[edgy holly]

i mean kinda based

[stray cairn]

OMG ELLEN JOE

[vale wing]

I wish it was

[edgy holly]

giving a second life to junk is cool

[stray cairn]

Yes

[dusty mortar]

How tf

[stray cairn]

My regular daily machine has 512GB

[dusty mortar]

[stray cairn]

And 1.3pb of shared storage

[opal kernel]

nearly enough to run discord smoothly

[dusty mortar]

Why pray tell does your daily have that much fucking ram and storage

[vale wing]

something seems out of place here

[dusty mortar]

What the fuck are you doing that requires that much

[midnight wind]

imagine having a pfp of a video game character

[gentle kestrel]

that sounds like ml work

[opal kernel]

imagine having a pfp of two video game characters

[vale wing]

mao says something about this in the little red book

[stray cairn]

HPC

[midnight wind]

I would imagine because mine is just one

[dusty mortar]

What’s that

[midnight wind]

what is the little red book isn't that where they describe the CD format

[stray cairn]

Nvidia's 95% source of income

[dusty mortar]

Ah

[vale wing]

no its mao's plan to invent woke

absolute truthnuke

[stray cairn]

Oh and

It has 8 GPU's

[vale wing]

no it does not

sli needs to be revived and improved upon

Fym it does not

[dusty mortar]

Yes

[vale wing]

absolutely goated idea but the peons in charge of nvidia should have been executed like the tsars of russia

[gentle kestrel]

yeah let’s just add more latency to renders it’ll work this time surely

[dusty mortar]

I want to run a quadro 4000 and 1050ti in tandem and let them communicate properly

patrick give me that pc you insufferable wench

i shall turn it into a 90s emulator as god willed it

[vale wing]

i need a athlon 64 machine so i can play doom 3

[vale wing]

whats wrong with you

why does it have 8 gpus

[gentle kestrel]

it’s a cluster

well not really but

[stray cairn]

We're doing work?

[gentle kestrel]

it’s not le gaming machine

[vale wing]

wrong incorrect you're lying to me

[dusty mortar]

Can it play terraria

[stray cairn]

Btw we have 64 of those V100's

Spread across 8 machines

[vale wing]

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-chris-stewie-negative-so-negative-gif-27521015

[stray cairn]

We also have 2x A100 ARM machine. Same memory but not in the same network so it only have 512GB SSD

[dusty mortar]

I sense of whimsy or wonder

[stray cairn]

My current work machine is Nvidia Grace cluster

[vale wing]

sour grapes who brought them sour grapes

[vale wing]

oh neat

id love to get my hands on something like that'd be awesome to see in person

[stray cairn]

No.

[vale wing]

which part do you disagree with

[stray cairn]

I don't want any delays with my paycheck.

[stray cairn]

Killing people who is in charge of Nvidia

[vale wing]

glory to SLI another 1000 years of latency

sli is supported upto the 3090 i think

[gentle kestrel]

need b100 capacity to improve

🔥

[stray cairn]

I mean

Since me and my mentor discovered that cuTensor between the CPU and GPU is the same thing

We're thinking of buying GB300 desktop

Just for a cheap price of 100K USD. Will lobby to the govt.

[vale wing]

im hoping integrated graphics keep showing the promising results they've been showing with amd

[dusty mortar]

Man all yall got cool jobs and I just deliver food and get pocket change thrown my way occasionally

[vale wing]

I'm jobless but I'm applying for a butcher shop of all things

[gentle kestrel]

that ihs is bonkers

[stray cairn]

I am employed.

[vale wing]

I just occasionally "steal" stuff from my school

[stray cairn]

I work for a national HPC lab

Which means our budget is infinite. As long as we won the lobbying part.

[vale wing]

you got employed to be a geek ass nerd

thats fire

[dusty mortar]

Fr

[stray cairn]

We tried to lobby for 10 units of quantum computer for 100 million USD

But it got held back due to bureaucracy.

[vale wing]

what do you even need those for

[stray cairn]

Research

[dusty mortar]

I’m too adhd and quick to anger to get any sorta difficult major

[stray cairn]

Oh and my company is one of Nvidia's biggest customer

[vale wing]

better be fucking researching where the fountain of youth is for 100M what the fuck

[dusty mortar]

Also too poor to go to college

[stray cairn]

We refuse to use AMD hardware.

[vale wing]

apply for grants

[stray cairn]

Whcih is ironic because I applied for AMD to continue my work/research interest

[dusty mortar]

I’ve tried, they didn’t pay enough

I’d have to take out even more loans

[gentle kestrel]

i mean i’d assume rocm is still pretty nonfunctional vs cuda at that level

[stray cairn]

Exactly

[vale wing]

your type of nerd needs to be studied and preserved

[stray cairn]

And they're trying to move to HiP, like the fuck

ROCm is not even mature nor widely adapted

[dusty mortar]

Thanks American education system

[vale wing]

its like medicated white collar office job type phenotype

[dusty mortar]

I need to be that phenotype

[vale wing]

i need to just be given alot of money so i can build whatever i want whenever i want

[stray cairn]

Who this

[gentle kestrel]

my goat

[stray cairn]

Btw workplace affiliation gets me there.

[dusty mortar]

I can’t afford shit and I’m most likely adhd as fuck but no place within 100 miles of me does adult testing

[vale wing]

matrox is my goat death to the nvidia dynasty

[dusty mortar]

A nerd

[stray cairn]

Also this

[vale wing]

matrox save me

save me matrox from this nvidia demon

[stray cairn]

Workplace affiliation

[gentle kestrel]

i know even on consumer stuff it was a headache and a half, if i was doing real work no way id put up with it

[stray cairn]

CUDA is extremely well documented and even if you're trying to code the CPU it shares the same exact programming structure

[dusty mortar]

This chat is getting too smart for me to understand what the fuck is happening

[stray cairn]

The only difference is the data type and memory streams

[vale wing]

im like if they gave homo habilis a phone

[stray cairn]

Like on the CPU you would typically arrange it in column-major, contiguous setting so it won't be sparse,

[gentle kestrel]

also helps with cuda since it just works on everything nvidia makes you can onboard with cheap hardware then scale later

[stray cairn]

But on CUDA you need to set your own blocks and use the cuda stream to execute

[vale wing]

I don't understand frame generation at all

[stray cairn]

Exactly

[stray cairn]

But both codes worked well. Its just we don't have the newest GH/GB accelerators to play with so we can check the unified memory arch

[dusty mortar]

LMAO

[stray cairn]

600k btw

[dusty mortar]

I don’t even know what that is tbh

[stray cairn]

And the GPU can be bought separately

[winter lantern]

Average chat gpt setup

[gentle kestrel]

i mean yeah they’re a large customer

[dusty mortar]

Can it run Minecraft?

[steel umbra]

another powah consumer

[winter lantern]

I still find it funny how people in Africa had to train chatgpt by showing it bad images

[stray cairn]

Nvidia glazing moment

[steel umbra]

what was the figure? ai eats about poland worth of power?

something like that

[neat flame]

agreed

[dusty mortar]

I feel like this

[stray cairn]

Btw my company is listed here

[dusty mortar]

Wow that tells us so much

[gentle kestrel]

this is a baller flex

[stray cairn]

Oh and I already told an Nvidia engineer there about my work and all and he asked me to work for Nvidia.

But I got AMD and PhD so maybe after Im done I’ll work for them.

Which means I’ll be banned from here and PCMR, and AMD, and Intel

[gentle kestrel]

i think the compensation makes up for losing pcmr

[stray cairn]

200 grand a year

[gentle kestrel]

phd is sick tho

hpc area of study?

[steel umbra]

rich

[dusty mortar]

Bruh

[stray cairn]

Possibly. Im in ML/AI rn and I got HPC for work so I kinda want to use AMD (and their research department) for dissertation topic.

[gentle kestrel]

that’d be a pretty cool dissertation

[stray cairn]

Then another 2-3 years and then Nvidia.

[ebon marlin]

https://videocardz.com/pixel/nvidias-official-website-now-listing-geforce-rtx-4040-brick-edition

Even Nvidia is making fun of their own products 😭

i see this millionth time

[ebon marlin]

Bomboclat

[stray cairn]

Nvidia playing cards

Tbh my current interest is all over the place so I don't really know

A few weeks ago I code in Python and now I code in C and CU

Then some reading of quantum physics

Then LLM's

[dusty mortar]

Nerd

(I’m coping that I don’t have a cool job)

[stray cairn]

In short terms, basically we consider a frame as a stream, like a factory pushing out items. Depending on the resources, the stream could be sparse, not continuous, which creates delays (in this case, lag). The concept of frame generation is by creating fake frames, the stream could be continuous, creating a better experience. its not real by any sense but its able to satisfy a requirement for example.

[dusty mortar]

Wuh?

[stray cairn]

The concept of frame generation

[gentle kestrel]

modern gpus are able to generate “fake” frames inbetween traditionally rendered ones is the tldr basically

[dusty mortar]

You gotta understand I barely understand how a cpu/gpu works and my brain is prob fucked from the sheer amount of marijuana I’ve consumed

[gentle kestrel]

instead of just 60 you can have “90” with 30 of them being made by the card

some people like it some people hate it

[dusty mortar]

So AI generation of frames?

To fill in gaps?

[gentle kestrel]

yeah sorta

[dusty mortar]

Yea I hate that

Ai upscaling or whatever it is

[stray cairn]

This is not upscaling btw

[dusty mortar]

Oh

[tidal geyser]

I'm bringing some fiber networking stuff to school

[stray cairn]

The concept of upscaling is given a pixel, we make a model to "hallucinate", ie filling in the gaps to a certain amount

Like given 1 dot, try to figure out the rest

This means it produces more pixels, which creates upscaling.

[dusty mortar]

So sorta how your brain fills in gaps when you move your eyes

[stray cairn]

Somewhat but yeah

[dusty mortar]

Huh, cool

[tidal geyser]

"And it means the resolution is fake"

• People who have not tried dlss 4

[dusty mortar]

Why not just use a human brain then /j

[stray cairn]

Because the assumption is every downscaled image would lose its pixels

And upscaling would return the said lost pixels

[gentle kestrel]

i mean it’s still fake but that would imply rasterization also isn’t just a bunch of rendering tricks

[stray cairn]

Pixel loss happens during downscaling like how it was filtered during convolution where parts of the image would be grouped together to create a single weight

Upscaling reverses that by "given this one pixel, reverse the convolution process"

Ngl its hard to explain because I am used to read papers on super-resolution

[dusty mortar]

What’s super-resolution

Something higher than like 16k I’m guessing

[stray cairn]

Basically upscaling

Just differently named.

[dusty mortar]

Ah

I’m learning more about computers and their processes in a discord chat at 2am than I did in my fucking college courses

[tardy marsh]

I have got a question. I just bought a new laptop. Hp victus 16 with 4070 I7 32gb 1T.. And there are some unusual bumps above the keyboard on the frame. What is that?

[stray cairn]

Pics

[stray cairn]

I learned this by myself and even my advisor doesn't know shit

[dusty mortar]

It has herpes

[gentle kestrel]

nvidia does publish their papers on dlss if you wanted to look at them

might be a bit complex but there’s some digestible info

[tardy marsh]

Small bumps

BUt definitly there

[dusty mortar]

My professor was dogshit
We had to get Ubuntu running in virtual box, I couldn’t get it to work cos tutorial was like 10 years old and for way older versions, when I went in for office hours they didn’t know what to do

[dusty mortar]

Looks like a deformation in the plastic, like it got too hot or somethin

[harsh vector]

Lol

[dusty mortar]

Could be a manufacturing error

[gloomy sleet]

i can’t see shit

[stray cairn]

Not complex enough

[tardy marsh]

Also it looked like it is getting less now I started using it.

[gentle kestrel]

considering it’s textured it’s just how they wanted it when they made the top

[stray cairn]

This is just technical whitepaper.

[peak knot]

matrox is AMD these days

[stray cairn]

Speakers Ig

[gloomy sleet]

oh dang

yeah that’s probably just deformation

[dusty mortar]

Yeah, prob somethin from manufacturing

[stray cairn]

Tbh Nvidia's DLSS paper is not complex enough like what I'd like

[dusty mortar]

If it’s just the plastic then it should be fine and not effect performance

[tardy marsh]

Also its a second hand laptop. But bought from an well trusted website in the netherlands wich highly checks condition before refurbishing. It was only 1 day in use of first owner and returned because of to big screen.

[stray cairn]

I usually read shit like this

[dusty mortar]

Yea it’s most likely fine, I wouldn’t worry abt it tbh

[tardy marsh]

Thanks. As long as it isn' t the battery expending

[dusty mortar]

Too many letters in that math equation

Eyes hurt

[stray cairn]

But again why should I care about the lack of DLSS maths? I can just work for Nvidia lol

[dusty mortar]

That’d be much more noticeable and not that small. It’d be a wider bump

[tardy marsh]

Oke thank you

[dusty mortar]

No prob

[stray cairn]

Now you might be thinking

Am I using a gaming laptop? No. I am using a fucking Macbook.

[dusty mortar]

MacBooks are solid

Apple in general is pretty good

Mostly for media and media editing

[stray cairn]

Nah i use it to code

[dusty mortar]

Huh

Why not Linux? Everyone won’t stfu about how good Linux is

[stray cairn]

My work PC's use Linux

[dusty mortar]

I never really understood the appeal behind it

[stray cairn]

Its good for work

But most jobless loser fucks here preach about anti-windows sentiment rather than actually using the OS to do real work.

[dusty mortar]

My thoughts exactly

[stray cairn]

Because hurr durr Windows/Apple bad

Because they can rice and add anime girls on their file explorer tab something something

[dusty mortar]

Like I don’t need to have an os that’ll shit itself if I press the wrong button, I don’t care about the customization

[stray cairn]

I use it because it takes the least amount of resource and for actual compute

[gentle kestrel]

i mean if you push the wrong button you can break anything

[dusty mortar]

I mean the customization in Linux is cool and I wanna experiment with it, but I’m tired of nolifes shitting on me for using windows

[dusty mortar]

True, but it’s much harder with windows/apple

[stray cairn]

I use terminal only Linux

[supple ivy]

Haha I love this, 100% right

[dusty mortar]

Makes sense

[gentle kestrel]

linux on a desktop isn’t something i wanna waste my time with

[dusty mortar]

Also fuck Ubuntu, worst intro to an os I’ve ever experienced aside from win8

[dusty mortar]

I mean I’d fuck around with it for shits and giggles and that’s it, not daily drive it

[supple ivy]

I use mac for school / work then windows for everything else, both work great for my use case and I can’t say I have any issues

[gentle kestrel]

i used to daily drive it for years

[dusty mortar]

I really wanna get one of the new iMacs but they’re so expensive

[gentle kestrel]

i just found better things to do with my free time then fix my system

[dusty mortar]

LMAO

[stray cairn]

I use MacOS because its a working Linux.

[gentle kestrel]

glibc breakages and having to deal with constantly switching components isn’t something i’m really interested in

[stray cairn]

That too.

[gentle kestrel]

i’ll use it on severs tho bc i’m not insane

[stray cairn]

I have ubuntu server on my server

[dusty mortar]

I fucking loath Ubuntu

[gentle kestrel]

ubuntu gets continuously hated on reddit but realistically it’s what i’d use if i can’t afford rhel

[dusty mortar]

I spent DAYS trying to get it to work in virtual box

[gentle kestrel]

i mean it’s what i use at work for that reason

[opal kernel]

huh

[stray cairn]

ubuntu gets hated on reddit because most Linux users on reddit are jobless mfs who use Linux due to the hate of capitalism/microsoft/MacOS, and since working is a sign of capitalism, they would hate it.

I work with Ubuntu and I never used snap.

[gentle kestrel]

you’ll hear the same snap comment yeah

or the amazon ad scandal from uh 2012 or whatever

[dusty mortar]

I hate Ubuntu and capitalism but I shower

people ride scooters or skateboards in the road where i live they just dont get in the way of cars lol

[empty quartz]

A dirtbike, or e-bike with a 12kw motor, are

pretty odd, i mean ina sense i get the idea, but same time i mean the one i sent up aint powerful to be going same speeds as car lane goes, but on the side of traffic i can, considering it has lights to show im going left or right
