[gilded harness]

💔

[glass perch]

Lemme place the noctua thermal firstt

[tidal geyser]

Bur the board somehow is alive

[plush wren]

you cant run vms on mac too?

[robust trail]

You can but ARM can get in the way

[gilded harness]

You will know why

[glass perch]

Uhm

[plush wren]

[glass perch]

How to fix sir

[tidal geyser]

Take middle fan out

[robust trail]

If it is bent leave it alone. Don't bend it back, you could collapse the heat pipes

[tidal geyser]

Not that

[glass perch]

Oks

[robust trail]

Oh the fan is wonk lol

[tidal geyser]

The mounting on it forces you to keep the middle fan out to screw it in

[unreal urchin]

i would have loved to go with used systems but in my country its sketchy af.
so thats why Im leaning towards newer one that comes with decent warranty cover.
back to my original question
https://www.lenovo.com/in/en/p/laptops/yoga/yoga-s-series/yoga-slim-7i-gen-9-14-inch-intel/len101y0041#models

Worth paying 200$ extra for Ultra 7?

and 32 gigs

[plush wren]

buy from someone near you and just check it out

[robust trail]

Maybe, maybe not. The RAM would be better than the CPU 🙂

See if that laptop is upgradable before buying the extra from Lenovo 🙂

[unreal urchin]

about that yes, in India its hard to find premium systems at used market places (because market size is considerably small)

[glass perch]

It's still not parallel langle tho

[tidal geyser]

Now you can actually screw it in

[unreal urchin]

not upgradable, soldered ram, thats why im having a second thought about 32 gigs version

[tidal geyser]

It does not need to be perfect

[robust trail]

booo okay yes get 32gb of ram

[glass perch]

So you mean i screw it onto the mobo and then i put that fan back on?

[unreal urchin]

laptop makers and their love for soldered ram

[glass perch]

👌

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[robust trail]

lenovo is moving away from soldered RAM and SSD

the ultrathins will get the same treatment

[plush wren]

thats insane

[tidal geyser]

O yeah the h also suck go v

[unreal urchin]

i mean, the laptop's great, it definitely punches above the price tag

[plush wren]

soldered ram 🫩

[unreal urchin]

yeah that

but that would've been the problem either ways, with lenovo or apple both

[plush wren]

ig

[unreal urchin]

16 gigs in the long run? doable?

[plush wren]

idk i dont code nor do i use a laptop

[unreal urchin]

or dont take the risk?

idk man, ive used desktops all my life lmao

[plush wren]

i was gonna buy a m3 pro but bought a camera first

[tidal geyser]

I'm 100% on the 32GB of ram is the min for anything new

[plush wren]

For realz

[glass perch]

I got it with ddr5

[unreal urchin]

its just that in college taking a full sized atx is a sign of some psycho lol

[unreal urchin]

gotcha

i'll see what offers i can avail on this thing, thanks for assisting me and offering advice

[tidal geyser]

I'm in collage too and I got like 20 atx builds

Well collage collage, something close enough but I live alone

[unreal urchin]

in dorms? thats crazy, absolute madlad

[tidal geyser]

Na my own place alone

[unreal urchin]

do you do builds?

[robust trail]

get dat print

[unreal urchin]

ah, thats what i thought cuz most hostels are strict regarding this

[glass perch]

I see intel

[tidal geyser]

My workbench

[plush wren]

this would not make me happy

[unreal urchin]

that acer nitro is such a nostalgia lmao

[tidal geyser]

O yeah first high hz monitor

I got

[unreal urchin]

it was the first proper gaming monitor for a lot of us

starting out

[tidal geyser]

But ma lubuntu surface is not turning on for some reason

[plush wren]

Gaming Monitor

[unreal urchin]

i mean, you can't have everything under 200 bucks

[tidal geyser]

Now you can get 1440p 180hz for like 160

[unreal urchin]

yeah, but going 6-7 years back that nitro was the hot thing

[tidal geyser]

It's working

[unreal urchin]

for budget builds

[plush wren]

birb

[gilded harness]

these are only random hardwares i bought for no reason at all lmao

[tidal geyser]

Make nas

Not war

[gilded harness]

32gb and 4790k would make a great nas ngl

[dusty mortar]

Nascar

[gilded harness]

that mobo also has shit ton of satas for some reason

[tidal geyser]

Dat only looks like 6

[iron glen]

@tidal geyser rate my new pc
e waste or dust collector?

[unreal urchin]

my third world country ass thinks that could be a high end system for someone living in here
💀

[tidal geyser]

High end 4k gaming

[iron glen]

ong🥀

it has a windows vista sticker on it, does that add to the preformance?

[unreal urchin]

sleeper trend without a sleeper
this is like a stock base variant VW Golf

[iron glen]

its older than i am

[sick reef]

“1080p” “1440p” “4k”
How about CRT monitor with 480p @ 165 Hz?

[unreal urchin]

ill tell you what tho, still better than pre builds of this era

stick with it

[gilded harness]

true

with a little satae port

[tidal geyser]

Sata express

[gilded harness]

man what a time

[tidal geyser]

But only 6 usable

[tidal geyser]

I wonder what I should do with this board

[unreal urchin]

ngl, actually looks very usable

[sick reef]

812x609 @ 163 Hz

[unreal urchin]

good

[iron glen]

decorate ig, some plants would be nice /j

[sick reef]

I want to hear about CRT monitors more than modern 1080p and 1440p monitors lol

[tidal geyser]

Well it works

[unreal urchin]

i had a crt tv that worked up until 2017

it was from 90s

[tidal geyser]

What da fuc

[iron glen]

what gpu is that btw?
looks like a 4060 to me but idk maybe all gpus have that big copper pipe

[unreal urchin]

i highly doubt my qled could ever match that long of a life span

[tidal geyser]

No

[tidal geyser]

Xd

[iron glen]

awh 😔

[tidal geyser]

This cpu has been dead for half a year

I just disabled c states and speed step stuff and it just works

Xd the cooler is not even mounted

[gilded harness]

revival

[tidal geyser]

@azure topaz it was in fact not the ram

Nor imc

[gilded harness]

The peak has been revived

[tidal geyser]

If it was a non f ez replace with what I got now and just sell that

The 9700f can only go to 3ghz but meh at least it works

[sinful cobalt]

it looks like some 10 series card era judging from the connector

[sick reef]

But people’s desks sucks ass

and is too small

[tidal geyser]

It's not 10 series

[iron glen]

gtx970

[tidal geyser]

No

But

Close

[iron glen]

gtx960 / 980?

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[iron glen]

🥳

[tidal geyser]

You still do not know what card it is

[iron glen]

nope

[tidal geyser]

Also

[iron glen]

👍

[sinful cobalt]

gtx69420

[tidal geyser]

That means I only have one dead thing

Ama desolder stuff from it

It's alive

[gilded harness]

https://tenor.com/view/salem-techsperts-gif-2188270028763501949

[tidal geyser]

I'm even doing 3200MT on it

Speed step was not the issue, welp turbo boost is the only thing left

Ama see what happens when I try turbo boost now

It ded

2.5gig 🙂

[glass perch]

Finallyy

[tidal geyser]

Wa

No, just no

[glass perch]

What

[tidal geyser]

Wrong way

[glass perch]

I did it

[glass perch]

WAT

[tidal geyser]

Ever seen a pc with a dual tower before or even air cooler

[glass perch]

I KNOW BUT THE MANUAL

NO, just no

This cant be

[gilded harness]

bros finished

[glass perch]

Im gonna cry

[tidal geyser]

Goos

[glass perch]

No biggie

I can do this again

[glass perch]

Yo sim

The thermal paste got spread and it looks like this

Is ts good

[tidal geyser]

Yes

Are the brackets the right way

[glass perch]

No and i have to change that

Placed them vertically

[tacit wave]

are amd gpus worth buying?

[glass perch]

Depends

3d stuff or gaming

[tacit wave]

gaming

[glass perch]

Amd

[tacit wave]

what is a recommended card? just wondering

[tidal geyser]

Price?

[glass perch]

Whats ur budet

[tacit wave]

price not an issue, just a recommended card in your opinion that isnt just the newest card

just like a hypothetical

[tidal geyser]

9070 xt I guess

[glass perch]

Rx 580

[tidal geyser]

If money ain't a issue just get a 5090

[tacit wave]

tbh i hate the 50 series

[glass perch]

Why do ppl be stacking two 5090s in one pc
Saw it on a yt channel

[limpid dune]

maybe look at the 7000 series if you want "not the newest"? but the 9070 non-ST is goated

[tidal geyser]

Rendering or ai

[glass perch]

Rendering yeah
Blender sucks

[limpid dune]

AI. doesn't work for gaming, sadly. unless you're playing two games at once I guess

[glass perch]

I prefer sfm even though valve has left it for dead since like 2012

[limpid dune]

also works for Time Spy or specifically Civilization 6 lmao

[bronze summit]

Left 4 Dead fucking sucks

[glass perch]

Bro

[tacit wave]

thing is i want something that isnt expensive, while also not being dirt cheap so i can keep it for a few years

[tidal geyser]

I turned off turbo boost

[tacit wave]

in the near future i wanna build a pc with an amd gpu but im not really sure what would be the best choice

[gilded harness]

used 6800XT

[tidal geyser]

9070 xt

[bronze summit]

Only good part about Left 4 Dead is doing it coop and blasting zombies away

[vagrant marsh]

What do u call a thing to mirror the whole server?

[bronze summit]

But when Versus comes into the conversation it goes dogshit

[vagrant marsh]

I remember there's a thing you put in the server rack to do so

[tidal geyser]

Uhhh I dono can you say the answer

[vagrant marsh]

I don't remember what it's called

[glass perch]

The thing under motherboard went down and i cant screw the brackets now

[tidal geyser]

Open the back and put it in the right place

[glass perch]

I gotta unscrew mobo

[tidal geyser]

Rip

[glass perch]

Come on nothing bad happens if i dont rub it somewhere too hard

[vagrant marsh]

Nvm it was just a nas.

[rigid fjord]

a second server

[worldly mason]

Was looking at my electric bill before i got the 3070 and after dang huge bump

[rigid fjord]

no a nas is just for storing files, a server does more than just file storage

you'd have a second server mirroring the main server as redundancy

[rigid fjord]

that's alot of resistors

[swift moss]

lmfao i fucking hate kicad

aligning keyboard keys is impossible

[rigid fjord]

look up any pre-done matrix designs

[swift moss]

its kind of hard to find ones with an rp2040 zero ngl

i would use the corne but yeah its hotswap and pro micro

[tidal geyser]

XD

welp i guess i now have a portable high res monitor

[swift moss]

eek

i cant find any decent keyboard generator

[rigid fjord]

found this one

[rigid fjord]

oh, ergonomic keyboard pcb design?

[swift moss]

yeah

i found a working plugin yay

[rigid fjord]

you could flip this one

[rigid fjord]

https://kimhq.net/projects/ergogen-kicad-keyboard-footprints/
https://github.com/infused-kim/kb_ergogen_fp

[swift moss]

booya

[swift moss]

oh wait whattt damn

bruhh

a lot of work imo

[rigid fjord]

https://github.com/topics/split-keyboard

[swift moss]

wait does this work with tht diodes?

[south cairn]

does anyone know how to resize efi partitions

[rigid fjord]

not sure, just found the different designs

[swift moss]

ah i see

[tidal geyser]

why

[rigid fjord]

found this https://github.com/tzarc/keyboards

[swift moss]

i wanna try make the corne

[rigid fjord]

pcb + layout for the djinn

[boreal vine]

ali express for the first time delivered like 1 week to me

[swift moss]

thats a lot of custom components ngl

[boreal vine]

not really, that's about standard

[rigid fjord]

from the looks of it, this is using 4 pole 3,5mm jacks to combine the 2 sides

[swift moss]

i think ima just stick to my own assuming i can figure out why its putting column 1 in the middle

[boreal vine]

if you want a split ortho, look at corne family

it's genuinely almost pointless to design your own PCB these days

atleast for keyboards

[random gyro]

i deadass thought you guys were playing factorio or whatever

[rigid fjord]

https://github.com/beekeeb/piantor <- apparently no diodes used on this one

[boreal vine]

Why do you not want a diode?

don't you want NKRO?

@swift moss is this your first ever board?

I would go with hand wiring ngl

[rigid fjord]

i don't but , but danny asked about if a layout worked with tht diodes

[boreal vine]

@swift moss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDguuYMG0IQ joe scotto has a good video on it

[swift moss]

second ever board lmfao

my first one doesnt have diodes and is half working

proof of concept basically

[boreal vine]

yeah I have a couple proto as well

didn't bother with creating my own PCB as there's a bajillion 60s out there

[swift moss]

they use a pro micro, i use an rp2040-zero

[swift moss]

i mean is there a non hotswap tht rp2040-zero corne layout pcb

[boreal vine]

and to get it officially via compatible is a ballache

[swift moss]

like the variation is crazy

[boreal vine]

yes... rp2040 is the standard now

[swift moss]

can you please link (kindly)

[boreal vine]

also pro micro is rp2040 wdym

[swift moss]

i mean arduino pro micro

[boreal vine]

https://mechboards.co.uk/products/helidox-corne-kit?

you can get choc HS or MX HS

assembled it's like this

[swift moss]

i currently have these microcontrollers and these switches

[boreal vine]

you can also get other kits like sofle or ferris sweep

[swift moss]

and this

[swift moss]

none of them seem to feature my mcu 😢

[boreal vine]

they do

they're using rp2040

[swift moss]

yeah the pico, lemme check how many i have

are there any rp2040 zero ones because that would be amazing

ferris sweep looks amazing ngl if it was mx

ah i see

it is but hotswap

[boreal vine]

there is MX

[swift moss]

Sweep High M - A soldered MX only Sweep, with a reversible PCB design.

[rigid fjord]

the pico's are zero's with a few extra pins usable

[boreal vine]

MX and Choc Solder

[swift moss]

doesnt look bad ngl

[swift moss]

they dont fit cleanly together tho unforutnately

thats no pico though

[boreal vine]

I mean you can get an rp2040 for like 5 GBP on ali dude

I've got some

[swift moss]

yeah yeah i get ya but i wanna use what i have

since i have like 50 rp2040 zeroes lying around in a batch

and lemme count, like 7 picos

[rigid fjord]

depending on pins used, you can scale down part of where a rp2040 pico sits into being for a rp2040 zero tbh

[swift moss]

yeah true

[rigid fjord]

does give you more pcb space as to where some other parts sit

[swift moss]

theres this ig

diodeless tho which idc but yeah

[boreal vine]

gimme

[waxen prawn]

my old AIO kicked the bucket and i need recommendations for a new one, im running an i13600k and it needs to be 360mm. Any recommendations?

[robust lintel]

so I followed a few guides here and there and changed these settings and I got good temps while benchmarking, around 65 to 70 degrees I ran multicore stability test for 30 mins in cinebench so I'm all clear?

tbh Idk what I did, all I know is that I allocated more wattage for the cpu

[rigid fjord]

thermalright frozen notte

[robust lintel]

(the cpu is r5 7600x)

[latent pasture]

what score do u get in cb

[glass perch]

How is this possible

[latent pasture]

u didnt peel the thing

[terse sparrow]

It's a direct result of not using a screenshot app

[glass perch]

I did

[idle vessel]

yeah man screenshot the pc

[glass perch]

What is you saying its the same thing??

[latent pasture]

whats the room temperature

[glass perch]

You can see all you could in a ss

[glass perch]

35 approx

[terse sparrow]

It's a joke, relax.

[latent pasture]

hmm

[glass perch]

Celsius

[terse sparrow]

What cooler are you using?

[latent pasture]

but its also a 2tower cooler

[glass perch]

Its um

[latent pasture]

probably wrong installation

[glass perch]

Ant esports

[glass perch]

I did everything right

[terse sparrow]

It's an i5, I'd reseat it to make sure it's on properly

[glass perch]

The temps did go to 59 at lowest

[latent pasture]

6 heatpiple 2twoer cooler
noway it cant cool a 6p4e shit

[glass perch]

But thats as low as it gets

[terse sparrow]

Sometimes it doesn't quite sit right and doesn't make proper contact.

I've done it myself many times lol

[glass perch]

Okay, how can i confirm if my cooler is in proper contact though

[idle vessel]

tight

[glass perch]

I mean the temps didnt go 59 for nothing

[terse sparrow]

By not immediately thermal throttling your cpu

[glass perch]

Hows that in my control?
I just start and those are the temps

No load

[idle vessel]

make sure ur tower is tightly screwed in with all of the screws

and also confirm you installed it properly and ur using a compatible cpu

[glass perch]

I aint that dumb

[terse sparrow]

If that's idle, then it's definitely not seated right. Tighten your screws evenly across the socket. Don't tighten one, and then tighten the other

[glass perch]

Its lga1700 compatible cooler

[latent pasture]

wtf is this brand i cant find its manual online

[idle vessel]

everyone makes mistakes lmfao

[terse sparrow]

It happens. Sometimes it doesn't quite sit right. Just reinstall it. If you're unsure, lookup for a quick how to on yt.

[glass perch]

Okay..
I think you're right

I had the same temps with intel stock cooler

[terse sparrow]

Good luck

How much paste are you applying?

[terse sparrow]

Id use a little more

[glass perch]

Yes

[terse sparrow]

Make sure it's not dry too

[tidal geyser]

hmm temps are a bit low

[tidal geyser]

fan is the wrong way

[glass perch]

Nah it isnt just got it fresh from noctua

[terse sparrow]

Ok cool 😎

[glass perch]

WAT

[tidal geyser]

tighten it down harder

[glass perch]

AGAIN??

[tidal geyser]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/634438385313775644/1073432582185816124/airflow3.gif

[glass perch]

Okay

[terse sparrow]

Most fans have little arrows on their frame to indicate airflow

[tidal geyser]

also 99% of fans will be like this'

[glass perch]

The temperature

Does ambient temp affect cpus?

[tidal geyser]

jesus 99c

boiling water

[glass perch]

It F

[tidal geyser]

failed units?

[glass perch]

Bro

[tidal geyser]

anyhow it aint gonna be 100c with a dual tower

[glass perch]

Yes

I redo now

And burn in the 40 C room

[urban fractal]

Chat, how much do I tighten my tensioning screws on my phantom spirit heat sink?

I tightened them until they show resistance and then a few more turns than that, but they still can be turned by applying a slight amount more force

[tidal geyser]

ALL OF IT

[topaz stone]

Yo what's that box thing that is used to protect pc in case of a power brown out

[latent pasture]

ups?

[urban fractal]

What does all of it mean ;-;

[tidal geyser]

UPS

[glass perch]

UPS

[topaz stone]

Thanks

[tidal geyser]

all the force you can muster with your hands

[glass perch]

I have one it lasts 10 mins

[tidal geyser]

o wow dam good leangth

[urban fractal]

You sure? Can someone else confirm?

[glass perch]

What if hes hulk

[urban fractal]

I don't want to break my stuff

[latent pasture]

i have one it lasts like 5 hrs ||its a laptop||

[tidal geyser]

mine is more like 2hrs

[glass perch]

On what system

[tidal geyser]

i5 1335u

[glass perch]

Ofc

Is that even a thing

[tidal geyser]

no no im just lying

[tidal geyser]

you do have google right

[glass perch]

Im fulfilling my psu by intaking a meal sir

That was so cringe i'm sorry

[rigid fjord]

a ups or generator

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/linus-tech-tips-computer-hammer-ltt-linus-gif-934761756649491133

[frail delta]

For frequent brown outs you'd want an active ups

[tidal geyser]

could also do what linus wants to do

big battery

[frail delta]

Which is not a replacement for a ups

[tidal geyser]

true

but it would be more like big big UPS

[rigid fjord]

or, you could combine the 2

have a ups, with a genny

[frail delta]

An active ups. Not a line interactive ups, don't want one of those if you have brown outs

[glass perch]

How long does ur ups last

[rigid fjord]

ups covers til genny cuts in

[rigid fjord]

til the battery dies

[glass perch]

I see

[tidal geyser]

nothing

[frail delta]

runtime= Ah *V/W

[tidal geyser]

WTF there was a alarm test just now

in Norway

[frail delta]

Ah = battery capacity in Ah
V = voltage of battery
W = load in watts

[tidal geyser]

i think every single person in Norway just got the same alert

they really have been increasing in intensity of dem tests

[glass perch]

Does ups battery life decrease if you use it till its drained out everytime

[frail delta]

That defeats the purpose of a UPS

[tidal geyser]

at some point just get a laptop

[frail delta]

Most are only meant for enough time for a graceful shutdown

[peak knot]

keysight is on some good stuff, i reached out for a calibration quote since they are the OEM brand for my HP 3457A multimeter and they quoted me $526 to calibrate my meter....

[glass perch]

Im grateful then

[proper gull]

The only time they're not is when they're a whole ass rack of batteries

[glass perch]

Back to that wretched cpu now

[frail delta]

Even then, that's just enough time for generators to kick in

[tidal geyser]

seen what linus wants to do

[frail delta]

A home battery? Nothing new...

[peak knot]

meanwhile i reached out to tektronix and they gave me a much better quote

[proper gull]

That's a room of batteries

[tidal geyser]

FzR, fun fact cola vs motherboard is not as bad of a thing as you might think

and yes behind there is was COVERED in cola

[peak knot]

i mean your talking to the guy who smears vaseline on his components for fun...

[tidal geyser]

it is alive buuut uhm the cpu was already fucked beforehand

[tidal geyser]

ok i kinda need help with the cpu in it, and yes it is very fucked before it got into the cola board, i first though the issue with the IMC buuut i turned off turbo boost and boom

but uhm i have the tiny tiny issue of my i7 9700f only getting to 3ghz

is there any way to try and get it to like 4ghz and see if its stable or not or any way to keep it stable with turbu boost

aaand he gone

damit

[glass perch]

Yo

[tidal geyser]

nau

[glass perch]

This the fan

[tidal geyser]

nice

[glass perch]

This the cpu

[tidal geyser]

great

[glass perch]

Do you think the brackets are good

[tidal geyser]

yes

[glass perch]

I'll turn around the fans and screw tighter then

[tidal geyser]

good

[frail delta]

So many internet points!

[tidal geyser]

wat

[glass perch]

Whats the purpose

[frail delta]

They're ripe atlas credits

[tidal geyser]

bigger number better

[frail delta]

Now I can do miscellaneous measurements if I wanted to

[tidal geyser]

lime do you know if there is any way to lower the turbo boost on a non k intel cpu

i kinda do not want a 3GHz 9700f

[frail delta]

I have no clue, not my thing

[tidal geyser]

dam 😦

ama wait til floppy man is awoken

i also need to find out what i should do with my z390

kinda do not want to sell it due to cola

buuut at the same time im not sure what to do with it

i now have 2 baord im unsure if i wanna sell due to them being wonky

[glass perch]

Ok so its like

I took off the fans and when i place one at the ram side the ram is getting in the way but the fan is matching to the height of tower from the top

Is that fine

[tidal geyser]

yes

[tidal geyser]

yes

[topaz stone]

Is linus name linus? Does it make sense??

[true stirrup]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Sebastian

[topaz stone]

So he owns LTT company?

[true stirrup]

Yes

[topaz stone]

Thanks

[tidal geyser]

and yes he is still the owner and face of it but does not fully run it

and its LMG what LTT is a part of

[gloomy sleet]

dang bros old as hell

[plush wren]

for realz

[glass perch]

Why does linus not love linux

[plush wren]

why would he

[tidal geyser]

tony stark uses h264 for some reason

[glass perch]

How do you know

[glass perch]

Atleast it isnt 1080p

24 fps

[tidal geyser]

i already know why they made it 24 fps

[glass perch]

Whaiy

[tidal geyser]

what fps are movies

[glass perch]

29 or 24

[tidal geyser]

29?

[glass perch]

Idk the default in sfm is 24

[plush wren]

24

[tidal geyser]

polarr is righty

its 24 or 30 mostly 24

but good movies are starting to do 60 too

[glass perch]

Thatss why sfm uses 24 they wanna have it realistic to movies ig

[plush wren]

lock in guys

[tidal geyser]

uhm you can just set it to 60

[plush wren]

[glass perch]

So no need to buy high hz tvs if ur gonna watch movies

[tidal geyser]

qd OLED on the other hand

[plush wren]

gng what

[terse sparrow]

Idk what it is about 60fps in movies. But they just look awful. Clips you see on YouTube of marvel films really don't look right lol

[glass perch]

@terse sparrow i did screw it again, cant find the some pin thingy of the cooler tho 😭

[tidal geyser]

wat

[terse sparrow]

[glass perch]

It binds the fan with tower

Idk what to call it

[terse sparrow]

Shouldn't it be a captive screw?

[terse sparrow]

Oohh

[plush wren]

phone watermark on for what

[terse sparrow]

Just use a cable tie

[glass perch]

Idk

[tidal geyser]

im never ever even going to consider a realme phone

[glass perch]

They suck

No wait

[plush wren]

for real

[glass perch]

They dont

THEY DONTT

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/running-cat-tiny-baby-running-cat-cat-funny-run-gif-26382918

based off that camera quality i think they do

[glass perch]

Dies of cuteness

[glass perch]

The focus didnt adjust

[plush wren]

Bad camera

[glass perch]

I agree

I find the second binder thing anyway

@terse sparrow i think its done

[abstract wigeon]

how is an a380 going to with with an i5-9600k? heard they run terribly with older cpus

[terse sparrow]

Hopefully!

[tidal geyser]

meh its usable just make sure to turn on rebar

[glass perch]

My fingers are screwed more than the fan itself boss

[abstract wigeon]

there is no rebar

[terse sparrow]

[tidal geyser]

then it will not really run

[abstract wigeon]

awh man

[tidal geyser]

you did update to the latest bios

[plush wren]

[abstract wigeon]

i thought because they have really good video encode/decode stuff i could use it in my steam link pc

[tidal geyser]

more lga 1151 v2 boards have rebar then not

[abstract wigeon]

its a h210 board but ill double check

[tidal geyser]

you said 9600k

[abstract wigeon]

ah wait h310 myb

[tidal geyser]

what h310

[abstract wigeon]

gigabyte h310m s2p 2.0

[tidal geyser]

PCIe Gen2 x2

welp it does not look to have rebar

try to update and see if you see rebar or CAM

[abstract wigeon]

what?

wait

[abstract wigeon]

yeah thats the m.2 isnt the gpu different

[tidal geyser]

better then my 11th gen motherboard

[tidal geyser]

ofc that one is pcie gen 1

[plush wren]

[tidal geyser]

kidding

[abstract wigeon]

any ideas what it actually is

cus it ran my 3070 just fine

i just assumed it was gen4x16

[tidal geyser]

gen 4?????????

you ya snorting lad

even 10th gen was not gen 4

[abstract wigeon]

oh damn

[pseudo swallow]

Is this USB naming all over again?

[tidal geyser]

no

[abstract wigeon]

i never bothered to check 😞

[tidal geyser]

pcie makes sense

wha

[pseudo swallow]

I saw PCIE Gen 2x2

[abstract wigeon]

so the a380 is a big no no then?

[abstract wigeon]

yeah dual bios

is that rare

[tidal geyser]

its such a shit board but has dual bios

WA DE FUC

[abstract wigeon]

yeah got it for £60 in 2021

[tidal geyser]

that is not even a good price

[abstract wigeon]

needed a cpu that could support win11

[tidal geyser]

so anything after dual core intel

[abstract wigeon]

it was at the time, cheapest lga1151 v2 on ebay

[tidal geyser]

maybe do not go the cheapest

[abstract wigeon]

it is what it is

[pseudo swallow]

Boot theory

[abstract wigeon]

it served me fine until last year when i got to am5

pffft im still trying to work out what gpu to use then

it might have to be a 1660 but man i dont have a spare £120

[tidal geyser]

120 ARE YOU MAD

a 1660 is max worth like 60£

[abstract wigeon]

oh damn yeah prices have gone down since i checked

going for 75-80

[strange atlas]

Is libreoffice and word same? Teacher explicitely said use word

[tidal geyser]

xd

libre can use the word format

but no its not word and lacks some of the features great for school

[sweet zephyr]

Just offered to buy a broken 3060 for 40€ it apparently boots in the bios

If they accept I hope I can fix it by flashing it or something

[strange atlas]

Then can anybody help me downloading pirate microsoft word (my dms are open)

I'm in uni so i do have access to word etc but i forgot my password and its holiday days

[tidal geyser]

OMG

AGAIN libre CAN USE the word format

[glass perch]

IT WORKEDDD

[tidal geyser]

told you

[glass perch]

THANKYOU

@terse sparrow you too sir

[magic basalt]

@tidal geyser hi, hows life

[glass perch]

i cant tell you how much i missed playing marvel rivals

[strange atlas]

yeah but you sad it lacks features that great for school cause i'm doing it for school its thesis

[terse sparrow]

Much better

[tidal geyser]

uhhh yea i am doing stuff

[glass perch]

had to change the fans direction as sim said and ofcourse, tighter screws

[robust lintel]

I don't remember the score so I'll run it again and I'll let you know once I get home

[glass perch]

[tidal geyser]

it lacks things when you are in school like easy working together kinda stuff

[robust lintel]

btw, does cb log the scores?

[strange atlas]

ooh got it thank you then

[tidal geyser]

and when you save, save it as word 2007

[strange atlas]

if its same with word web i shouldnt do that no i did a thesis on word online a few weeks ago everything moved and gone it was so bad

[thorn cove]

What is the difference between preinstall and normal drivers

[sweet zephyr]

Nice the 3060 seller accepted 50€

[late path]

Hewwo

When it gets to you make sure to take a video of your unboxing and checking the GPU die and vram chips just in case

[thorn cove]

Also why does this specific motherboard have a lot of wireless connections? How do I know which to pick?

[late path]

Different versions

Look at release date and version

[thorn cove]

So just grab the latest one? I thought I should do intel because it looks more compatible with linux which Im interested in trying

[late path]

If you have Intel cpu then take the middle ones

they're the most recent intel ones

Idk what the topmost are lowkey (I'm dumb🥀)

[sweet zephyr]

No idea if it even comes with a box and there's no returns or refunds sadly

Of course you can't refund a 50€ gpu

[spiral swallow]

It's just which wifi chip you got, doesn't really matter if it's a intel or amd CPU. altough most AMD motherboards have Realtek in my experience. So still if you have a intel cpu you can have a realtek driver.

So I would look at the revision of the motherboard or sometimes just device manager to see which one you have. Or just guess and hope you have the good one. xD

[tidal geyser]

One is from 2023 the other 2024 really something ya wanna give a shit over

[thorn cove]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-saiki-k-good-job-straight-face-thumbs-up-gif-15286883

[terse sparrow]

Fuck that.

Where do you live, the sun lol?

[tidal geyser]

yeah what about it

[umbral fable]

Random tech interruption but wifi 7 kinda nutts

[terse sparrow]

I'm waiting to get fiber in my area before upgrading my router lol

Still no fiber

[umbral fable]

I mean Im getting over 1Gb/s on wifi 7 2 rooms away from the nearest AP. On Wifi 6 I was getting like 200mb/s

(obviously your device has to support wifi 7)

[terse sparrow]

Damn

[umbral fable]

and the latency is almost the same as ethernet

[terse sparrow]

WiFi is finally catching up to hardwire lol

[umbral fable]

Like while not downloading im getting 10ms to 1.1.1.1 and while downloading its 22ms

Like I actually think for most gamers WiFi 7 has very little to no downsides compared to ethernet...

[terse sparrow]

That reminds me. I need to fix my unRaid. It can't access the internet for some reason. It's driving me crazy

[ebon marlin]

It has one major downside

Which is the cost

[tidal geyser]

Psu

[ebon marlin]

Wifi 7 routers ain't cheap especially the good ones that can handle that load

[umbral fable]

Ngl I might not run cat6a to the home office in my house

[umbral fable]

Yea but the crazy part is this is my ISP router....

[untold dragon]

there is on big one gigabit lan is cheap and common
wifi 7 hardre is expensive

[ebon marlin]

Pal is paying more for worse hardware

[umbral fable]

Im paying less than my old ISP

[ebon marlin]

I highly doubt they're giving out free routers of that caliber

[umbral fable]

Im being serious I was as surprised as you

[ebon marlin]

ISP's usually charge you tons for shitty routers

[terse sparrow]

I remember ages ago, I asked my isp if I could use my own router lol. They said no. I sure showed them

[ebon marlin]

We got charged 200€+ for a Wifi 5 router in 2024

[umbral fable]

The router was included in the contract I didnt pay for it

[ebon marlin]

They usually hide the price of it

Sometimes bundled alongside with the internet plan

[umbral fable]

Eh again my monthly cost is lower than my old isp

crazy part is they also sent a wifi extender for free

[ebon marlin]

Damn what ISP is it

[umbral fable]

and you can request upto 2 more if you dont get atleast 500mb/s in each room of your house

EE

[ebon marlin]

Zamn

[terse sparrow]

I'm with talk talk lol

[ebon marlin]

EE also has ipv6 support damn

[umbral fable]

Just switched from BT cus I had so many issues (ik they are the same company) but they offered me a sweet deal where they would match what I was paying now

[umbral fable]

Aye

Again this is the best ISP router I have ever seen, it rivals some $500 routers

[terse sparrow]

I've been out of contract for 12 months waiting for fiber

I think it's time to just bite the bullet and get a new plan

[umbral fable]

Usually you can upgrade in contract when fibre comes

[terse sparrow]

I'll be claiming my pension by the time I get fiber at this rate lol

[umbral fable]

For free*

[terse sparrow]

I wanna go back to Vodafone

[umbral fable]

Yea Vodafone also use openreach so

[terse sparrow]

They were slightly faster lol.

6 MB/s consistent

Megabites

[umbral fable]

Okay I just did a speedtest to my home lab server I got almost 2Gb/s on Wifi.....

Wat

[terse sparrow]

Gotta go fast

[gleaming rose]

why is your homelab on WiFi

[umbral fable]

My home lab is on ethernet

I uploaded a file from my laptop connected to wifi

[gleaming rose]

ah

[gleaming rose]

well this is to be expected then

[umbral fable]

Waaaaaaait that means the router also has 2.5Gb LAN ports......

[thorn cove]

What are these m.2 clips? The manual only talks about it in passing

[ebon marlin]

it holds the m.2 in it's place

[kindred drift]

Is 5200 mhz plenty fast? When my EXPO is disabled that’s all the faster it wants my ram to be

[ebon marlin]

usually there's a screw there to hold the m.2 in it's place but some mobo manufacturers have them replaced by plastic clips

[thorn cove]

Oh how do I know if it’s held in? My current one is at a pretty steep angle when I turn it

[kindred drift]

I mean I’m pretty sure I played on 3200 for like 5 years with no issue

[glossy sinew]

was it smarter to go perf over aesthetics? i saw 4060 build which looked hella cool but I got a 7800xt for 1440p gaming

[ebon marlin]

not sure how that specific clip is meant to be held at just try until it feels good

[ebon marlin]

it's always smart to go perf over aesthetics

[thorn cove]

If I put it in it’s at a pretty steep angle

[ebon marlin]

you should be able to lower it

[ebon marlin]

the 4060 is literally dogshit compared to the 7800xt

the 4060 is dead on arrival even at launch

[thorn cove]

Does it matter too much or is this okay?

[ebon marlin]

what motherboard is it

[spiral swallow]

That doesn't like right xD

[thorn cove]

I figured it out, I just needed to pull on it REALLY hard

[ebon marlin]

ah

gulp

poor toolless design

[thorn cove]

The manual told me to pull on it and I was like what… I tried to do that and lifted the whole motherboard and panicked

I decided to be a man and it worked lol

[gilded harness]

idk what to add to my setup anymore

I am buying pc of Facebook

250$

[tidal geyser]

specs

[lean plaza]

Rtx 3060 and Ryzen 5 5600x

[tidal geyser]

o wow

[lean plaza]

But it's the rtx 3060 mini edition

[ebon marlin]

facebook

[tidal geyser]

gpu alone is like what 200

[lean plaza]

Is that bad?

[ebon marlin]

no

[lean plaza]

It's only got one fan

[tidal geyser]

it uses next to no power

[ebon marlin]

3060 could be passively cooled without a fan

[tidal geyser]

there are 4070's with only one fan

[tidal geyser]

3050

[lean plaza]

yh but the price of it

Is it a good deal

[tidal geyser]

very

[ebon marlin]

very

[tidal geyser]

but what about the rest

[lean plaza]

Let me get the GPU version exact wait

[tidal geyser]

no

[ebon marlin]

are u doing pick up or postal

[lean plaza]

idk I didn't ask it has 16gb ram and 1tb plus storage

[lean plaza]

Pickup

[ebon marlin]

okay good

[lean plaza]

The guy doesn't know how to check specs and doesn't know what the specs mean

[ebon marlin]

never do postal on fb marketplace

[tidal geyser]

like yea 250 is great for a 5600 and 3060 but its a bit annoying if you need to spend a extra 70$ on a new psu or smn

[ebon marlin]

still a good deal eitherway

[lean plaza]

He said he played games on it earlier and it was working

[tidal geyser]

i mostly only buy things that need to be shipped used but not FBM also me in Norway

[ebon marlin]

same but me in Finland

[tidal geyser]

cpu and gpu alone are worth dat ez

[ebon marlin]

more than that

[lean plaza]

Rtx 3060 palit 12gb

[tidal geyser]

catto is it sunny for you

[tidal geyser]

we know well i know

[ebon marlin]

it's been raining the whole day today

[tidal geyser]

at least its a 12GB version so that is nice

[lean plaza]

How much worse is it compared to two fans?

[tidal geyser]

sad, im sitting outside enjoying the sun

[ebon marlin]

3060 200 and 5600x around 80-90

[tidal geyser]

0

unless you OC a 3 fan card you will not see a difference

[lean plaza]

Buts it's worth less compared to the other 3060s

[ebon marlin]

even the 5090 is a 2 fan card

for the founders edition'

[tidal geyser]

i dono i guess so

[tidal geyser]

tbf 2 massive and good fans

[ebon marlin]

a 3060 12g is a 3060 12g

[lean plaza]

Is it the same chip as the normal 3060 but just worse cooling

[tidal geyser]

omg

[lean plaza]

Sorry I'm not good with pcs

[tidal geyser]

with a computer the core is the same

[ebon marlin]

cooling doesn't matter on a 3060

[tidal geyser]

if it says 3060 12GB from a i dono 1k version of the card to a 100$ one it will be the same chip

[ebon marlin]

you could just remove the cooler and blow on it and it'll run fine

[tidal geyser]

direct die blowing

[ebon marlin]

why did you tell me to die 💔

you hate me

[lean plaza]

Yo when going to the house to check what do you recommend me to do cause he said he's reset the pc

[tidal geyser]

tommorow is going to be such a good day due to how hot but sunny but just soo gooood

[ebon marlin]

just check if the pc runs and if you have access to windows check task manager to confirm the specs

[tidal geyser]

i would install hwinfo

just to fully make sure

[lean plaza]

If I check in the bios is that always accurate

[ebon marlin]

bios doesn't say jackshit

[tidal geyser]

it says what cpu and board and ram and speed of dat ram and storage

only thing it cant is the gpu

[ebon marlin]

yeah

but tbf for gpu you can just use ur eyes

[tidal geyser]

yea

[late path]

I hate ZTT bro idk how people actually watch ts even as a joke

[lean plaza]

yh

[late path]

I wanna rip out all 5 of my senses

[lean plaza]

Task manager apparently they can just make up the specs

[tidal geyser]

hey i was writing that

[lean plaza]

he's alr

pal is not alr

pal makes the worst content

constantly posts misinformation

[late path]

Is this ragebait

[ebon marlin]

outdated and fake stuff overall

[iron ruin]

So Hardware Unboxed just showed the perfect reason why 8GB cards are bad now.

When you run out of VRAM, your system will start using system memory for the rest that's needed, but the viability of this is determined by how fast your PCIe lanes are.

[lean plaza]

He doesn't make it

It's his team I think

[tidal geyser]

well yea

idk how his parents are pc builders and he's able to full time run a prebuilt and content business

[late path]

PACKGOD: BOIII you so noc tuah cool that thang

[late path]

what did I just type

[iron ruin]

Even on PCIe5, you're getting screwed by only 8gb.

Lord help you if you're just trying to upgrade an older machine like an Intel 8/9th gen or an older AM4 platform which is only PCIe 3

[tidal geyser]

soo maybe do not go 1440p then add a bunch of stuff

[gilded harness]

or just get 16gb since it is not like a lot more

[tidal geyser]

oooor even better do not buy a 8GB card

[lean plaza]

Do you guys use a power supply thing if the electric goes down or nah

[tidal geyser]

a rx 6800 is what 300$ used at times

[tidal geyser]

UPS?

[lean plaza]

idk the backup battery thing to protect pcs

[tidal geyser]

wow we have had a lot of people asking that lately

[ionic robin]

the cope is over CUSTOMS WALLPAPERS ARE HERE

[tidal geyser]

so a UPS?

[late path]

people need to normalise buying 12 gigs when budget allows, a lot of them come for near the same as other cards

[lean plaza]

yes

[late path]

And companies need to normalise having 12 gb as a minimum instead of 8gb

[ionic robin]

isnt 8 gigs not enough for most gpu heavy games?

[tidal geyser]

i have a server and a pc both are very spensive but could not give less of a shit

[lean plaza]

Just don't go max settings

[tidal geyser]

the issue is, gpu heavy vs vram heavy

[ionic robin]

oh yea that too

forgot about that shit

[ionic robin]

well really is it a difference these days

alot of games are both

(unfortunately)

[tidal geyser]

its not like older games stopped being a thing

[ionic robin]

AAA titles specifically

[ionic robin]

true

[tidal geyser]

AAAAAAAAAAAA titles

[late path]

if I was able to buy a 300$ card 10 years ago I'd get amazing frames at amazing settings (at the time), and now 300$ gives me horseshit and a firm handshake. If I want anything close to that performance but in today's dates I'd have to remove a organ

[ionic robin]

but can 8 gigs vram run crysi-

[buoyant bridge]

Signal RGB is so much better wtf
My fans can be configured as an actual circle in it (y'know what they are lol)

[tidal geyser]

jesus get a NAS

#HDDs do not beloge in the PC

I have a NAS

[late path]

Is your pc on top of a amplifier

[tidal geyser]

put those drives in it

[buoyant bridge]

Yes?

[lean plaza]

[late path]

[buoyant bridge]

I have all 14 bays in it filled

[tidal geyser]

uhh why you asking

[buoyant bridge]

and I have a second Nas.. with all 14 bays filled

[ionic robin]

say that to the broke mfs
