[frigid blade]

It looks like microcenter is $150

[formal sonnet]

Use it as a doorstop. I love the hardware, but very much hate Cisco's business model.

[zinc widget]

lol I was gonna use it for a home install since I’m moving and don’t wanna use ATT’s router. At the license price for 1 year, I could just buy a unifi or Omada which is overkill anyway.

[formal sonnet]

Bingo. This is why I'll be doing a Ubiquiti setup at home, and leave the Meraki stuff at work.

[zinc widget]

My uncle did an Omada setup not too long ago and swears by their APs. Their EAP773 has a 10gb port whereas the U7 pro (same price) has a 2.5gb

Still a bit optimistic with wifi 7 that u would need that extra bandwidth

But it is nice

I might’ve drank the TP-Link Koolaid though because their Deco mesh networks are one of two mesh networks I like.

[frail delta]

Meraki pricing makes sense at the 75% off NFR, retail is bonkers

Omada ❤️

[crude blade]

`

[plain hinge]

15usd for ryzen 5 1600. good deal?

[zinc widget]

Linksys Velop isnt too bad, but Decos are more stable, and I just personally refuse to buy Netgear because their support pissed me off this one time.

[peak knot]

New toy

[formal sonnet]

This. I'd be more inclined to become a Cisco / Meraki expert if they were a little more lenient with home-use / homelab licensing, both in terms of hardware cost and subscription pricing. But there's no way in heckin' heck I'm payin $350 CAD to license a single MR access point for only 3 years, plus the cost of MX and MS licenses.

[frail delta]

The cloudflare model

It works well!

[limpid dune]

https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/core-i7-8809g.c1980

intel CPU with an AMD iGPU... and the iGPU has VRAM???

close enough, welcome back Ryzen AI Max + 395

[gentle kestrel]

yeah those existed years ago

apus aren’t new concepts

[limpid dune]

yes but... a CCD made by Intel with an iGPU made by AMD is blursed

[frail delta]

I was using free and $20 cloudflare for ~18 months for fun (which probably cost them literal pennies), and now we have an enterprise subscription at work, and I shill cloudflare at every opportunity

[limpid dune]

and slightly more blursed that they decided on on-package HBM2 instead of just using the RAM bus like normal

[gentle kestrel]

where do you see hbm

that page says ddr4

[limpid dune]

the iGPU has 4GB of HBM2 attached, you can see the extra die in this picture (from left to right; HBM2, AMD GPU, Intel CCD)

[plucky lodge]

crazy how old 3090ti sli is going above many 5090s nowadays, its 8th ranking on the world

[gentle kestrel]

surprised someone got a 5090d up there

[formal sonnet]

Excellent! One day I'm sure I'll convince work to move our Nameservers to Cloudflare, but it'll likely be a bit of a battle. Some people seem averse to anything that they're not familiar with, so it's a struggle.

[limpid dune]

14900KS is a weird CPU to choose, putting it in a DDR4 motherboard is going to make it quite slow, and putting DDR4-3200 in it is going to make it glacially slow

literally a 9800X3D would be cheaper

[zinc widget]

At least cloudflare lets you get a free cloud server allocated to you if you wish upon a star

[gentle kestrel]

it's just a joke list

[zinc widget]

Wait nvm that’s Oracle

[limpid dune]

DAMMIT

bait used to be believable

[gentle kestrel]

glacial is also quite an overstatement

[frail delta]

Next on my list is getting all our voice traffic properly protected with spectrum... That's going to be much more complicated than just switching over the nameservers :(

One day!

[gentle kestrel]

go for it

[zinc widget]

2023 ass computer

[limpid dune]

if you're being serious; it's shit

if you're trolling; that cooler is overkill bruh

you too. your first problem is pairing 5090 with Zen 2

[gentle kestrel]

can one of you link a funny list if you're gonna bother

[limpid dune]

for this offence, the court of Linus sentences you to immediate vaporization

[gentle kestrel]

outdated threadripper with greenies and 5090s

wow such bottleneck yippie

like cook up a cudimm on a 245k setup to at least make it look believable

[limpid dune]

here's my idea: Threadripper 7995WX paired with an Arc A380. use the llvmpipe Linux driver to do all of the graphics on the CPU

[gentle kestrel]

see like this is a real ragebait system https://pcpartpicker.com/list/t78HZc

believable at least

[tawny knoll]

That thing looks disgusting but yeah honestly the red is CRAZY

[limpid dune]

wait what's wrong with that 😭 apart from mixing black and white and paying >$4k for a 5080. oh and maybe putting an EATX in an ATX case. ok nvm

[tawny knoll]

Why are there two sets of headphones

It works

[limpid dune]

wait wtf I actually have almost this build IRL, I have an FX-8350 paired with dual HD7870s (aka R9 275 I think)

it's... interesting

[tawny knoll]

You should've gone for a trident Z royal kit

we all know the fancier it looks the better it perfoms

[zinc widget]

It was between that or the Butfenix Colossus

[tawny knoll]

YOOOOO thats sick

[dusk acorn]

Im trying to build a frankenstein pc with a 3600 and 1660 super. Should I get 16gb or 32gb of ram?

[zinc widget]

It’s got 5 5.25 bays and 7 3.5 drive sleds 🔥 🔥 🔥 and a key to make sure no one can mess with ur gaming session

[limpid dune]

two 8GB sticks would work well in that system, 32GB only if you know that you play a game that'll need it

[tawny knoll]

The 5070ti seems a bit expensive

[zinc widget]

16

[dusk acorn]

Im just gonna give it to my family as a family computer lol so i dont think they need to run heavy apps

Ty

[limpid dune]

white AIO. black MB. white RAM. black PSU. white speakers. black screen. I'm going to get you

[zinc widget]

Fr I paid like 600 ish for my brothers

[tawny knoll]

Its only $730 USD

So honestly thats not bad in actuality

[tawny knoll]

Hey who knows maybe they're going for a stormtrooper look

[zinc widget]

lol that 1660 will live a life as an hdmi out

I did the same with a 3060

[limpid dune]

180FPS in Gmail

[zinc widget]

I needed 2 DP outs and the 3060 is the second cheapest new card that has it

[tawny knoll]

Why do you keep sending it

We told you yeah it works

[zinc widget]

After the RX 580 but I hate that card

[tawny knoll]

im goi g to str n le you

[limpid dune]

a 5070Ti aint gonna do a QHD 240Hz screen in AAA games. my 4080 Super is just barely enough for QHD 100FPS in AAA games

[random gyro]

According to multiple sources, the minimum requirements for Grand Theft Auto 6 are pretty demanding, but somehow 1080 ti users are still standing strong

[dusk acorn]

Which one?

[zinc widget]

My 4080 hits like 100 in 1440p 21:9. 140 with DLSS balenced

[zinc widget]

Neither

[dusk acorn]

What should I get? Im in canada btw

[tawny knoll]

Whichever is on your motherboards QVL

[random gyro]

Went with Teamgroup and they seem pretty fine, especially if you value aesthetics (i don't I just got 32GB of DDR5 white ram for 92 USD)

[limpid dune]

@flint elm bro is just spamming at this point. also it's impossible to ping mods when there's an emoji in the role name 😭

[tardy badger]

Should i buy the GIGABYTE Aero 15 OLED For around 900 dollars

[random gyro]

32GB was the better value for me, at least when it was 92 USD for DDR5

[limpid dune]

<@&750150305383186585> there we go. finally figured out how to ping mods. anyway spam

[zinc widget]

Wait @dusk acorn actually this better https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00131521

[dusk acorn]

Isnt that the same as the one at the bottom of the pic i sent?

[zinc widget]

No

[limpid dune]

bro really tried to flip me off with reactions 😭 touch RAM. and/or grass

[dusk acorn]

The first one u sent i mean, also memex is gonna charge 15 bucks for delivery😭

[limpid dune]

Canada Computers should have good prices for RAM

[frigid blade]

eBay is the way

[dusk acorn]

Tbh the only reason im using amazon other than free delivery since we got prime is because of the one/two day shipping

[dusk acorn]

Tried that once i got refunded my money back lol, idk what the seller did

[zinc widget]

Is this unavailable to you? https://a.co/d/heRewRo

[frigid blade]

I got 2 kits of 96GB 6800 cl34 ram for $280 after taxes on eBay

[zinc widget]

Also seriously? Best Buy always has free shipping in this U.S. I think Micro Center does too

[dusk acorn]

It is but im kinda looking for a white one, may or may not have rgb im still debating

[dusk acorn]

Nah they be doing us dirty here

[zinc widget]

Never bought from Microcenter do they have free shipping

I pretty much only buy computer shit from Amazon, Newegg, and Best Buy

[dusk acorn]

also even if i bought it off of ebay, the deliver will set me back like 20 bucks because most of the listings are from the us

im this 🤏 close to buying a aliexpress ram lol

should I get this then?

nvm i just realized this is hella expensive, shipping is crazy

[tawny knoll]

Its not worth $120 more

[dusk acorn]

i dont want to give the wrong advice but isnt there a way to flash 9070xt bios to the 9070 to make it perform better? but its only advisable for gpus with dual bios?

[swift moss]

oh..

[neat obsidian]

Hey could anyone lend a quick hand in my tech support chat? I think im onto something but the guy helping me earlier might not come back and I have a few questions... https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1384740522400153631

[swift moss]

bro 2 mins ago are you kidding

[gentle kestrel]

better to do it on a dual bios card so if you mess up one bios the card isn't dead

[dusk acorn]

oh and a question about dual bios cards. if you brick one of the bios, is there a way to fix it using the other bios? or when you brick it, is it just technically a one bios card now?

[pliant edge]

[tidal geyser]

NO

Well not the one on the ssd

[hexed sage]

I saw a TikTok saying you need to remove the sticker on the m.2 heat sink

Idk if it’s already removed or not

(I didn’t remove any stickers)

[tidal geyser]

Yea heatsink not ssd

[hexed sage]

I mean the one in the bottom right btw

Is the heatsink sticker already gone?

[tidal geyser]

Where is the M.2 heatsink

[tidal geyser]

I so not think you even have one

[tidal geyser]

What??

[hexed sage]

That’s where the m.2 slot is

[tidal geyser]

Well yea

[hexed sage]

I have no idea what a m.2 heatsink looks like

[tawny knoll]

No

[hexed sage]

I assumed it was one of these things

[tidal geyser]

What????

[tawny knoll]

You circled surface mount components that should not be removed or it will ruin your motherboard

[hexed sage]

^^ @tidal geyser

[tidal geyser]

What is a heatsink

[hexed sage]

A sink that gets hot idk man

Isnt it the component that spreads out the heat

So your thing doesnt get too hot

[azure topaz]

yeah how is that thiny thing going to doit

[tawny knoll]

heatsinks consume the heat from other products in order to effectively dissipate heat

[azure topaz]

a heatsink is like the thing above it

[hexed sage]

Maybe it is Bluetooth

[azure topaz]

its not

[random gyro]

I haven’t repasted in 2 years which paste should I cop yall

[hexed sage]

Splave

[random gyro]

Cursed blacksharks with 7000mah battery lol

[azure topaz]

duronaut

[tawny knoll]

kryonaut

[tidal geyser]

It's usually a piece of metal that you put on top of something heatgenerating like a cpu or vrm or in your case m.2, we so it to spread out the surface area but also as just a massive metal block that can absobre heat.

[azure topaz]

there is one right answer

[tawny knoll]

holy smokes

[tidal geyser]

Floppy me finally become richy rich

[hexed sage]

Maybe the thing above it is the heatsink?

[azure topaz]

not true

[tidal geyser]

Well at least to the point I can afford rent

[azure topaz]

i bought an oled monitor

[random gyro]

And 3a of charging lol

[tidal geyser]

Use Google and your brain

[tidal geyser]

I have no reason too

[hexed sage]

I’ll use ChatGPT instead

[tidal geyser]

NOOOO

[azure topaz]

probably a liar idk i dont have it yet

[hexed sage]

Trust me

[tidal geyser]

It's literally just, google what is a m.2 heatsink

[azure topaz]

you thought the bios chip was bluetooth. absolutely not.

[tidal geyser]

Since I already have one

[hexed sage]

Should I buy this

[tidal geyser]

No

[hexed sage]

But it makes it cool

[tidal geyser]

The m.2 does not even need a heatsink

[tidal geyser]

I dono your money

[tawny knoll]

not necessary unless you have a top tier PCI-E 7.0 NVME with 4tbps transfer speeds

[tidal geyser]

M yes pcie 7

[tawny knoll]

my LTT screwdriver has been sitting in seattle for the past four days

[granite sundial]

for 40 series is undervolting or reducing the power limit better?

[tawny knoll]

thanks USPS

[tawny knoll]

For what? Better performance or temps

[granite sundial]

better temps is my priority but better performance would be good too

4080s

[random gyro]

It looks like my Hisense u7nq Mini LED TV has burn in. But Mini LED tvs cannot burn in stuff, right? I watch a lot of Twitch without fullscreen and when I Change to HDR Mode and start my Game, i can clearly see the Windows of the Twitch Stream and the Profile Pic, headline etc. Not Sharp though. This should be Image Retention, right? But it doesn't go away, it's ridiculous

[tawny knoll]

Undervolting creates lower temps for the same performance, or better performance for same temps (in theory)

I'd personally check guides on YouTube or google for lower temperatures for your specific GPU

[granite sundial]

lower power usage I also want it heats up my room a lot

not a problem cuz it's winter rn but in summer it's really unpleasant

[tawny knoll]

lower temps in general will create less heat to dissipate, thus heating up ur room less

[somber void]

Yall know u can get an RTX 3070/RX 6700XT pc for ~ 320€

Yes a whole PC

Not the gpu itself

[rigid fjord]

i have doubts

[tawny knoll]

where lol

[somber void]

Found a HP workstation with a Xeon W-2123, 64GB ram and 2tb nvme storage for 91€ and an RTX 3070 FE for 230

Even if the HP workstation is broken i'd love trying to fix it

[tawny knoll]

Nice

[somber void]

And then flip it for like 600€

Or more

[tawny knoll]

i enjoy how google AI is utterly useless and spews false information

[somber void]

I don't really rely on Google AI that much

[somber void]

Oh and i forgot to mention it has 3 more 2TB SATA SSDs

So 8tb of storage

And also those workstations usually have 1000W PSUs so u can put a 4090 in there easily

I went with a 3070 because it's the biggest thing that fits in it

And affordable

[crimson glacier]

Does anybody have any suggestions as of what laptop I could get for around 500$ usd I play counterstrike and roblox

[somber void]

Do you really need a laptop

Or are you ok with desktop

[hoary tree]

Its honestly crazy how big of a GPU die the 2060 had

[crimson glacier]

I could consider either

[somber void]

I can recommend this @crimson glacier but idk if its broken

[tidal geyser]

Look at it shine

[somber void]

You could get an older workstation for like 200 bucks and put a GPU in it (for exp. RTX 2070/super)

[tidal geyser]

Brand new HP workstation

[tidal geyser]

Psu

[granite sundial]

yeah there's a reason rx6400 is so overpriced

[somber void]

Some workstations have nice PSUs like Lenovo Thinkstations

HP Z4 G4

[tidal geyser]

I have yet to see a 8 pin power plug on a workstation

[granite sundial]

tried to do +2000mhz on memory and cyberpunk crashed rip

let's see if 1700 is stable

[somber void]

The HP G4Z4 has 4 8 pins💀

1000w psu

[tidal geyser]

O wow

[tidal geyser]

What cpu and what price

[somber void]

Usually W-2000 series Xeon

Price around 200 bucks

[somber void]

@tidal geyser

[granite sundial]

yeah my friend doing her PhD got smth like that cuz they expect her to use this garbage old PC for scientific analysis

[frail delta]

There are z4 models that have 1700w power supplies

[lucid sluice]

Ik this might be a dumb question but I was wondering does a 5060 gpu work with a gigabyte b560 ds3h? Because my friend ordered a 5060 and he’s telling me the pcie slot is too small on the board. Which I’ve never heard of but I though it would be better to ask before having him return it

[frail delta]

Probably not available in NA though

[somber void]

Even better

[granite sundial]

board has a full pcie 16x slot?

[somber void]

Ofc it would work if it has an x16 pcie slot

[frail delta]

Yes, they do

[somber void]

Well yes then it would work

[granite sundial]

also some 5060 models have a 8x physical slot as they only use 8x logically

ok power limit was successful getting 88 fps in the cyberpunk benchmark with +250 core +1700 mem 80% power limit vs 90 fps all stock

[lucid sluice]

Wait so there’s 5060 that have bigger slots compared to others? I’m sorry I’m a rookie

[frail delta]

No they all have the same size slot

[granite sundial]

most GPUs have a 16x slot, however the 5060 only uses 8 lanes and so some models have an 8x width slot

[frail delta]

Any more information is not particularly useful for your use case

[granite sundial]

any 5060 will fit into a 16x slot which that motherboard has

[lucid sluice]

Ok so I think my homie might just be slow.

[lucid sluice]

He showed me his old gpu compared to the 5060 and they slot was bigger on the 5060 he said it didn’t look like it would fit

[granite sundial]

the motherboard has a full width slot, it will fit any modern graphics card

[lucid sluice]

Here’s his pc I was like I’ve never seen a gpu not fit in a specific motherboard

[fast marsh]

I have an i7/ 3060 gaming laptop. What would be reasonably priced worthwhile upgrade to this? The market seems quite expensive for X070s and has been been saturated by the overpriced trash that is the X050s.

I havent really considered any AMD offerings. (perhaps I should?)

[granite sundial]

laptop GPU names are kinda bullshit like the mobile 4090 is a 4080 desktop die iirc

do u want a laptop? or desktop

[rigid fjord]

which i7?

[quasi field]

Pc looks nice in the dark

[iron glen]

my photoshop skills arent great, still can't see shit tho

[tidal geyser]

jesus do i got a lot of thanks

[random gyro]

would the jump from iphone 16 pro to 17 pro be big or nah?

[tidal geyser]

did you break the screen

[random gyro]

i don't have either

im considering selling my pixel 8 pro cause it's irritating me and getting a 16 pro

[tidal geyser]

how so

ffs the iphone 17 pro is not even out yet my guy WTF

[random gyro]

google's propriatry apps have made me lose all my pictures twice, and now they've put 2tb of storage on my drive, and backed up everything, and I can't undo it. It overheats on recording, which is a large part of my job too

[tidal geyser]

google's propriatry apps?

[tidal geyser]

get a actual camera

[random gyro]

google pictures, google drive, etc. I only use them on my phone

[random gyro]

I don't like my pixel

I'll be getting a new phone anyways

[tidal geyser]

im getting myself a CMF phone 2 pro next week

[random gyro]

idk, i've got a macbook and pc and android doesn't want to funtion well with either

[tidal geyser]

so you are LOCKED into the apple ecosystem and got a android

then wondering why its not working

[random gyro]

I don't have an apple pc, I have a windows pc

[sullen prism]

that looks like a game

[random gyro]

hence the r9, rtx 3080fe

[tidal geyser]

laptop is a pc

[random gyro]

Bro, why are you always so pedantic, always have to be right?

[tidal geyser]

a i3 beats that cpu

[tidal geyser]

ofc

[random gyro]

But you're not

You just speak like you are and dismiss any real comments or replies.

[iron glen]

has little nightmares vibes

[tidal geyser]

wat

[sullen prism]

the reflection

[iron glen]

lol

[random gyro]

You always speak like you know what you're on about but in reality, you speak for the sake of it.

[tidal geyser]

ok?

[fast marsh]

11370H

[tidal geyser]

usable but not great

[random gyro]

So I don't actually take value in what you say anymore, because it's usually rubbish and dismissive. What was it you said the other day? "750-850 isn't a fair price for the pc. That's just what it's worth." LMAO

[rigid fjord]

had to check to see how many i got, it's almost 4x yours, didn'te realised i had people saying thanks about what i've suggested

[tidal geyser]

dam

tbf you also got a lot more messages

[tidal geyser]

what are you expecting me to say, i go to apple hq and figure out how the iphone 17 pro compares to a 16 pro??

[craggy cove]

valid?

[random gyro]

I'm expecting you to stop being a know it all about EVERYTHING. It's not about the singular question, it's about everytime i've spoken to you.

[tidal geyser]

again 6000MT ram on am5

[frail delta]

https://tenor.com/view/11-gif-18691902

[craggy cove]

the 6400 one was cheaper, but yeah i was wondering about that

[kindred halo]

You should start a tech repair/support business
Have it be the front for your underground VRAM cooking lab

[craggy cove]

they really dont wanna show the latency either lol

[tidal geyser]

im not really a know it all never claimed to be never have never will, also how did you come to that conclusion?

[tidal geyser]

meh then just downclock or smn but that motherboard is going to be wonky

[random gyro]

Nobody ever claims to be a know it all, it's just the fact that you are a know it all. You have a contradictory answer for everything. "That cpu is just 2 6 core cpus in one." etc. You always have something to say against someone's suggestion, you're a very disagreeable person who always tries to have an answer.

[frail delta]

I know everything.

[craggy cove]

i think it would be better to buy from here, cause its cl38 as i discovered from the reviews

[tidal geyser]

ofc i will have a opinion that is why people come here

[craggy cove]

price difference is like 10€ anyway

[tidal geyser]

if you just want a straight forward answer there is google or chat gpt

[frail delta]

Praise the all-knowing Lime

🍋‍🟩

[random gyro]

The problems not that you speak, it's what you say. Your opinions, the lack of consideration for peoples time and you just admitted you don't give a straight answer.

[tidal geyser]

peoples time?

[tidal geyser]

i try and give a straight answer but then people ask about everything around it

[rigid fjord]

true, just, a surprise finding out it's more than i thought i'd got

[random gyro]

I didn't ask many questions besides 1. I've only ever asked for a straight forward answer, as a matter of fact, all you could've said is "I don't think it'll be that big of a jump."

[tidal geyser]

no but how can i know of it at all?????

its not out my guy there is no info to be compared to

we know almost nothing about it

[iron glen]

😍

[quasi field]

100% real

[rigid fjord]

hmm, then i would suggest a laptop with an amd cpu inside, and either a 4070 or 5070 mobile gpu

[tidal geyser]

you cant expect me to be able to give anything of a answer if there is no answer to be given at least not yet

[terse sparrow]

Guys, let's not argue

[random gyro]

Ah so instead of giving a helpful answer such as "im not entirely sure sorry", you decided to spewing pointless crap.

[tidal geyser]

saying its not out yet is not helpful?

[quasi field]

My photo shop skills have gotten better tho

[tidal geyser]

are you trying to argue for the point of arguing now

[terse sparrow]

Guys it's nearly Friday, let's relax

[quasi field]

:3

[terse sparrow]

What was everyone's last cool tech purchase?

[quasi field]

You don’t wanna know ~w~

[rigid fjord]

if it was a cl32 kit, you'd be on par with a 6000 cl30 kit tbh for latency

[random gyro]

Hold on, is that what you said? cause I recall, "Did you break your screen?", "ffs the iphone 17 pro is not even out yet my guy WTF", followed by "get a actual camera", "so you are LOCKED into the apple ecosystem and got a android
then wondering why its not working" just give a straight answer the first time.

[terse sparrow]

Now I kinda do

[quasi field]

Ehe

[rigid fjord]

a discord server mostly full of nerds, and you expect no arguments?

[frail delta]

Zuckerberg spy glasses

[tidal geyser]

i would imagine the 2nd thing i said aka its not out is enough and if your job needs you to record for long times why not you know get a actual camera

[terse sparrow]

Just trying to keep the peace 🙏🙏

i bought asus G614JIR-N4126WS is this good gng?

[tidal geyser]

and the amount of people that are trying to ask us to compare unreleased products to ones that are is just so massive to the point its just infuriating, i do not get a cent doing this, i would rather spend my time actually being able to help people fix problems but how am i meant to when people just scream about unreleased products and how good they are.

[rigid fjord]

over spent on a laptop with a cpu that could still experience the degredation issue

[terse sparrow]

Thoughts on the iPhone 420?

[tidal geyser]

looks good

well if it was a desktop

but that cpu aint well known for having a great battery life

[random gyro]

Like I said, you always do it

i know but you can get the the same parts for like 1000-1500

there was also some MC laptop with like a laptop 7900X but mobile and 4070 for like 800$

and yes the entire thing was GOOD

yh 16-32 fine but its worth bro

for $2k u cant find anything like tht

Ah ok, bc I don't do OC'ing and just asking if there's a difference so I can save some money

[storm tartan]

thts 1969 or smthng

No one using ts

[magic ivy]

?

[tidal geyser]

assembly

[tidal geyser]

yea?

[magic ivy]

No

[tidal geyser]

is it not a fish tank with a vertical gpu mount??

[rigid fjord]

lenovo legion 5, 8845hs + 4070 for around 1.5 - 2k, with either a 8gb or 16gb stick of ram, and you can upgrade the ram easily yourself to 32-64gb instead and also add in a second drive

[magic ivy]

It is i just don't like it thanks tho

[storm tartan]

🥀 understand

[storm tartan]

yh mine can upgrd too dawg

and idl legion

[tidal geyser]

what else are ya looking for

[magic ivy]

Like that

[tawny knoll]

O11 dynamic

So a dual chambered fish tank case that supports vertical mounted GPUs

[magic ivy]

Idk if I'm saying it right I mean that u look at the fans

Of the gpu

[tawny knoll]

yes

Vertical mounted GPU

[magic ivy]

Ok what is dual chamber tho

[tawny knoll]

You'll need to buy a vertical mount for the GPU separately, but you can pretty much buy almost any fish tank case

[tawny knoll]

Where there's one chamber of the case for the parts, and another to the side of it for the power supply and other cables

the case that you sent is a dual chambered case

[dusty egret]

Mybe Corsairs 2500x

[magic ivy]

Ok do u think its a good case?

Also wdym I will have to buy a vertical mount

[tidal geyser]

why and how is your name glowing

[tawny knoll]

Floatplane sub

[tawny knoll]

You will have to buy a bracket to mount your GPU vertically if you dont buy a case that comes with one

[tidal geyser]

i swear the name did not glow before

[frail delta]

New discord feature

[tidal geyser]

i know why its blue but when i hover over it its glowy

[sour storm]

i saw this case at jimms website

[magic ivy]

Okk

So if my case has that side thing I will have to buy the cable?

[quasi bough]

hey so i want to activate virtualisation for my Vm but i cant really find any bios settings to enable it. i have an ryzen 5 7500f and a msi pro b650 s wifi motherboard any of you that know if and where i can enable svm?

[dusty egret]

nvm it doesnt have veticle pice case slots

[tawny knoll]

If it doesnt have the bracket you will need one

[magic ivy]

Ok

[sour storm]

nah just throw the gpu in

[tawny knoll]

You will need to pick a case that has ample space between the PCI-E brackets and the glass tho

[sour storm]

full force ram it against the glass

[dusty egret]

Are pcie risers still stuck on pcie g4 speeds?

[tidal geyser]

no

[tawny knoll]

Hyte cases are really good for vertically mounted GPUs tho

[tawny knoll]

Nah we got 5.0 risers

[tidal geyser]

but there is no real benefit to pcie 5

also only pcie 3.0 has extensions and risers in the spec

[sour storm]

is 160 eur worth it to be able to make coffee machine pc?

[sour storm]

this is the coffee machine

[tawny knoll]

man $160eur? I thought that case was way more than that

like y70 touch prices

[sour storm]

the temptations are great

[tawny knoll]

It looks great

[sour storm]

it would be certainly a striking case for a build

[tawny knoll]

For sure

[sour storm]

i might get it if i can make sure my parts fit

[tawny knoll]

That case in that color would go great with the nitro+ 9070xt

[sour storm]

im going mainly black parts so it could work in my build aswell

[dusty egret]

Would hdmi be able to handle a 50 foot run, or would I have to get active optical hdmi? I want to get my pc off my desk and into my rack.

[tawny knoll]

I mean hey screw it

[tidal geyser]

xd

[tawny knoll]

25ft is generally regarded as the reliable length

[tidal geyser]

looks like it should JUST work

but yea no i would get active

[tired bear]

you can always get active optical cable if you need longer run

[tawny knoll]

Anker just told me 25 lol, and then it immediately also tells me 50ft

[tired bear]

it also depends on which generation hdmi cable is in question, newer 2.1 cannot go that far

[dusty egret]

Hence why I asked lol getting conflicting answers

[tidal geyser]

but the speeds

[tawny knoll]

Yea i'd go active to be safe tbh

[tidal geyser]

just go active

[raven scroll]

looks like a case inside a casew

[sour storm]

if the parts fit and i have conirmation i'll put the case to the list

[tawny knoll]

Sweet lets go

[tawny knoll]

gonna be mint

[sour storm]

probably gonna channge the 7600 to a 7600 xt

How much are 9060xts over there?

[tidal geyser]

hmm i dono not like it was filled with eaton "solutions"

[quartz wagon]

Can H610m handle an I5-14500?

[tawny knoll]

Man thats not bad

[latent pasture]

what model
but will likely throttle in multicore

[latent pasture]

if ur so cheeps that ur getting h610, why r u getting an expensive cpu too

[quartz wagon]

Asus Prime H610M-K D4

[tawny knoll]

If you can afford one grab a sapphire pulse 16gb 9060xt, i've had great experience with sapphire GPUs in the past

[latent pasture]

get a 12400 or something so u can use the budget for gpu

[quartz wagon]

I started with a I5-12400f which a H610m handle perfectly fine

[latent pasture]

whayt are you doing that 12400f isnt enough anymore

[sour storm]

nah im hellbent on the 7600 line

[latent pasture]

bc unless ur gpu is like 4080 perf or better, you wont notice a significant difference upgrading ur cpu

[sour storm]

im not logical but i have a good feeling about it

[tawny knoll]

For $30 more you get a pretty sizable jump in performance tbh

[quartz wagon]

Im having 5060

[latent pasture]

so do nothing

[quartz wagon]

Alright

[sour storm]

but it wont fit the vision i have

[tawny knoll]

rip, but fair

[latent pasture]

even if the gpu is like over double the perf the older cpus keep up fine

[sour storm]

either way a 7600 should do it's job fine

[tawny knoll]

Yea

[sour storm]

it is an upgrade from the 1050 ti

[latent pasture]

weird strat, not a lot of times you see people actively wish for bad stuff

[abstract wigeon]

skyrim modding is ruining me what do you mean the script isnt there when the script is literally there

[tawny knoll]

real, i upgraded from a 1050 to a 7900xt

[latent pasture]

"my old stuff was bad so this poor value upgrade is fine" is the most confusing thing
what relevance does the old item have in comparing 2 independent new options

[sour storm]

nothing?

bro it was a statement.

imma be fr this chat seems to want to fight about anything

[tawny knoll]

I dont see any reason in trying to persuade someone who has an idea already in mind

[tawny knoll]

Its discord in general lol, but very real

[frosty prism]

go to ztt 👍

[sour storm]

they ginna fight me too?

[tawny knoll]

sometimes

[sour storm]

eh

im gonan go with the gigabyte 7600xt most likely

maybe...

we'll see

[tawny knoll]

eagle card or what?

[abstract wigeon]

just get the cheapest model you can theres no point going higher

[tawny knoll]

oh a windforce card

[latent pasture]

not in stock

[tawny knoll]

Depends, sometimes there is genuine perfomance/features that you'll want

[abstract wigeon]

very very rarely the price jump

factory overclock is like 25mhz

[sour storm]

do i have to have a bracket for the gpu

[abstract wigeon]

unless you really care about looks id say just get the cheapest card you can and spend the extra money elsewhere

if you feel like you need one just build one out of lego but youre probably fine

[sour storm]

the one i just sent has the exact look im going for

[tawny knoll]

no not really

[sour storm]

oki

[abstract wigeon]

go for it then

[tawny knoll]

im planning to get a 9070xt nitro+ and the next gen X3D CPU to upgrade my current computer. Who knows, maybe AMD will make a higher end GPU than what they have rn

[lethal bay]

I’m planning on getting the next gen X3D chip, but whether or not I’m gonna upgrade my gpu entirely depends on how hard GTA 6 is to run

[tawny knoll]

lol real

[fast marsh]

If you had to choose between 2 gaming laptop being Acer Nitro V or MSI Katana 15, which would be the better pick?

I had an acer years ago, didnt care for it

[lethal bay]

DLSS is just getting better and better so I may be able to get away with playing GTA 6 at 4K on a 5070Ti

[tawny knoll]

That is true

Im hyped with how FSR4 is looking because MAN is that kinds thing crazy

[tawny knoll]

It depends on the specs of the systems

[fast marsh]

Acer Nitro V 15.6-inch i5-13420H/16GB/1TB SSD/RTX4060 8GB Gaming Laptop VS MSI Katana 15 15.6-Inch FHD i5-13420H NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 8 GB

Both with 16GB ram

[tawny knoll]

Oh same specs

[fast marsh]

Yeah

[latent pasture]

what price

[tawny knoll]

Are they similar in price?

[fast marsh]

MSI isabout 60 bucks moe

more

[tawny knoll]

Im pretty sure from what i remember the MSI has a better screen

[latent pasture]

whats the full codename of the acer nitro V

ANV15something like that

[tawny knoll]

the acer laptops are kinda... crummie
eh eh eh

[fast marsh]

Yeah, I am leaning toward the MSI

I have an ASUS Tuf right now, which has been good to me

It has a 11370H and a 3060 in it

Id go tuf again, but they seem to cost a bit more these days

[lethal bay]

Yeah, it being locked to just 9070 series kinda sucks though.

Only thing that gets locked on Nvidia side is special features like MFG

The 2060 can use DLSS 4 Transformer though lol

[tawny knoll]

Yeah, but im not too worried as my 20gb of VRAM wont [redacted] itself in 4k on cyberpunk lol

[bright pawn]

si there any differnece between cpu fan and case fans

[tawny knoll]

CPU fans can be designed differently, but usually they're still 120mm fans

[lethal bay]

Physically no. But you should be plugging your cpu cooler fans into the cpu_fan header on the mobo

[latent pasture]

no
the mobo just separates them since its better to control them differently

theyre all the same pwm (usually) header

[bright pawn]

alr thank u

[tawny knoll]

or dc!

Yummy dc fans

[bright pawn]

do these parts all seem good for a build?!?

[wind rune]

Hello! i have a question about owning a GPU for productivity and 3D(blender)

[tawny knoll]

Whats your CPU?

[tawny knoll]

Ask away

[bright pawn]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/2mkj9C

its this Intel Core i5-12400 2.5 GHz 6-Core Processor

[tawny knoll]

Yeah looks fine

[bright pawn]

alr time to order away

[wind rune]

What makes a GPU good for 3D Rendering? and should i go for AMD or NVIDIA for gaming and productivity mix of use? and also i use a lot of blender. Is the 4070 good for its price? or the 4070 SUPER

[tidal geyser]

Blender=nvidia

[tawny knoll]

NVIDIA is much better than AMD for blender rendering due to the CUDA cores, however AMD is better than Nvidia (usually, without raytracing) in gaming. It depends on the prices of the 4070/4070 super

I wouldnt spend more than 450 on a 4070, and 550 on a 4070 super given that you could get a 5070 at MSRP

Also it depends on where you're at and the prices local to you

[latent pasture]

3060 12g cycles andy

[wind rune]

a 5070 is for 1000 fkin bucks here

[abstract wigeon]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/TFZknp any issues here? gpu is just placeholder for whatever 6800xt we can get on ebay

[tawny knoll]

holy smokes

[wind rune]

yeah, someone was offering me a 3090 for 530 but i thought that it is an old GPU now

[tawny knoll]

wow

[wind rune]

And what about CPU, how many Cores is good for rendering? and which brand?

[latent pasture]

if ur willing to buy used gpu y not buy used everything else (especially if going last gen to save)
how bad is the income of the person buying this pc? bc it only needs +£70 to afford r5 7600 b850+wifi and 32gb ddr5 6000

[tawny knoll]

I mean it really just depends on how much you can spend and if efficiency is important to you

[granite sundial]

how do i view occt error codes i cant find any information on what caused the error

buying am4 brand new is stupid, either buy it second hand or get am5

[wind rune]

about 200-350, efficiency doesnt really matters

[granite sundial]

you should be able to find motherboard + cpu + ram as a combo sold for a very good price

[granite sundial]

that power supply sucks get something else that has semi-passive operation

[tawny knoll]

Ram is a bit important than a CPU, so if you can afford a 7 series CPU and then 64gb of ram

[granite sundial]

its old but a 3090 for 530 usd is an amazing deal

its between 4070 and 4080

[latent pasture]

if theyre using gpu for blender theyre ot gonna be needing a super cpu

[abstract wigeon]

he said he doesnt really trust second hand too much but could you link a build

[wind rune]

is AMD Ryzen™ 7 7700X and 32 gigs of DDR5 good?

[tawny knoll]

yeah, good for both gaming and blender modeling

the fans on montech x3 mesh are molex so no speed control, just off or 100%

but if they like the looks then 🤷‍♀️

[latent pasture]

they were asking abt gpu for blender so why get a better cpu

[tawny knoll]

because they asked about a CPU aswell?

[latent pasture]

cuda is so good at blender that something like rtx 3050 beats a 16 core 5950x

[tawny knoll]

they're also gaming

so you dont want a 3090 and a i5 2400

[mortal plume]

i have no idea how my friend still has ears

[latent pasture]

headphones and case below the desk

[mortal plume]

btw the gpu is at 85c despite that almost server rack level fan speed

cheap gpus suck

[tawny knoll]

thats one helluva case choke

[tawny knoll]

or that yeah

[mortal plume]

i mean it's def both

[stoic nova]

put some regular case fans on the heatsink instead

[mortal plume]

1660 ti in a solid front panel case because south african prebuilt

[tawny knoll]

Im hoping to run to microcenter soon and snag another 7900xt for my brother because he needs a GPU upgrade bad

[stoic nova]

I dont blame you

[abstract wigeon]

3 hours of work to boot modded skyrim

[stoic nova]

30 minutes of gameplay

crash to desktop

[zealous plover]

Does linus take DMs

[lethal bay]

no lmao

[dusty mortar]

Mmmmnn cable management

[stoic nova]

They made rear chambers bigger so you don't have to

[dusty mortar]

Yeah I know but I know it exists so it bothers me

When I get the new case and mobo imma save for some cable mod cables

[somber void]

HOW

[stoic nova]

right so you can have more cable to manage

[dusty mortar]

No because it won’t be extensions like these

I’ll be able to have it all nice and neat

The part that bothers me is not having it all nice and neat

[stoic nova]

on aliexpress you can get hundreds of cable combs for dirt cheap

that should make it real easy

[dusty mortar]

I don’t think you’re getting it
I don’t need cable combs, the part you see normally is nice and pretty, I want the back to be nice and pretty too

It’s like that because I used cable extensions

Which made it near impossible to get nicely organized

[stoic nova]

who said you only need cable combs in the front

[raven scroll]

mines worse

[dusty mortar]

Please look at the cables that are there, you can’t use cable combs on those

[raven scroll]

but if u dont see it then it doesnt exist

a wise man once said

[dusty mortar]

It does for me

[cyan bay]

is it worth it to upgrade from 3060ti to 5060?

[stoic nova]

wanna bet mine is worse?

[stoic nova]

for those you just really spam the zip ties

[tidal geyser]

Not at all

[dusty mortar]

Didn’t have many when I built it
Besides, I’ll need all the space I can get with the case I’m getting

So if I want it to look pretty and have space for the cables imma need a cable set

[late path]

Hi

[dusty mortar]

Hi

[late path]

Nope i recommend you save up for a better card

[dusty mortar]

Just get a 1st gen ARC

[tidal geyser]

Wait yea ain't the b580 faster then the 5060

[iron glen]

according to user benchmark, yes it is
no it isnt(still according to UserBenchmark)

[granite sundial]

textures are broken but 3d mark is still going lol

maybe +1700 on vram is too high

[tidal geyser]

Modern gpus use ecc

[granite sundial]

huh how is +250 +1700 only excellent for my hardware

with 110% pl

[dusty mortar]

Not rlly
It scored a good bit lower

[tidal geyser]

Is that gaming

[dusty mortar]

Wdym? Like they tested it with dif games?

[tidal geyser]

What game and settings and res?

[dusty mortar]

Doesn’t say

[tidal geyser]

And you really trust that

[dusty mortar]

I trusted it when I got my 2070 super

It was pretty accurate

[tidal geyser]

Sad

[dusty mortar]

?

[iron glen]

sim would you say the b580 is a better deal? even if it apparently has worse preformance

[dusty mortar]

Yea, depends on where you’re at tbh

Here it’s better to get the 5060
Few bucks more and higher performance

[tidal geyser]

Higher performance in what games

[iron glen]

i would save 200 and buy a better monitor with it

[dusty mortar]

Dude Idfk it just lists average performance

[tidal geyser]

Its trash

[dusty mortar]

If you want different data search it up

I’m not fucking Google💀

[tidal geyser]

Just do not try to use that shit ever again when speaking to others

[iron glen]

need the dual 5090 build for buckshot roulette 🥀

[dusty mortar]

Just don’t be a fucking asshole?

I can use whatever sources I fucking want

[iron glen]

drama 🍿

[dusty mortar]

If you got a problem. Look it up yourself

You have an internet connection

[tidal geyser]

I already know most of this shit but people who come in here does not and when they see people usw userbenchmark but different name they think its real

[dusty mortar]

Fine, what would you recommend, all knowing sim

[stoic nova]

then provide your own data

[tidal geyser]

Techpowerup
GN
Hardware unboxed
Are all sources that actually fo testing

I just did

[iron glen]

this feels like the internet equivalent of hitting rocks together for entertainment ngl, i could be doing smth productive rn

[dusty mortar]

You do know the one I sent makes benchmark software, right? It’s legit

If you have a problem, then shut the fuck up and move on

You have different sources you trust

[stoic nova]

if youre genuinely interested in the numbers you should look to multiple sources for this info

[dusty mortar]

Makin a big fucking deal out of absolutely nothing

[tidal geyser]

But they are looking foe the performance difference from a b580 and 5060

[dusty mortar]

I do, they had just asked a question about 2 cards and I looked up some data

[dusty mortar]

Are you slow?

“Average results”

[stoic nova]

that was unnecessary

[tidal geyser]

No you clearly are

[iron glen]

chill down homes

[dusty mortar]

No one asked for “what’s the performance of these 2 cards in this game with these settings!”

[tidal geyser]

Average of what dataset what hardware was it tested on what settings

[hallow jasper]

man, if only that wasn't such an easy question to answer

[dusty mortar]

Look it up yourself I’m not fucking Google

Again, if you’re soooo curious, look at it yourself

[stoic nova]

tbf you started it

[dusty mortar]

How the fuck is me trying to answer a question starting it

Genuinely how
They asked, I answered

They’re the one that got all butthurt about me using a different source

[iron glen]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jackson-comendo-picoca-gif-9669437860846841235

[stoic nova]

you involved yourself in the topic, and brought data you found, you should expect this

[dusty mortar]

You mean the topic I was already involved in?

The one where I made a joke about “just get a first gen arc”

[terse sparrow]

why we fighting again?

[dusty mortar]

Because people are butthurt I’m not some know it all expert

[iron glen]

ion even know anymore, its hilarious tho

[stoic nova]

you're the most emotional person in this whole ordeal.

[rigid fjord]

should have gone with corsair's white cables and not used extensions tbh

[dusty mortar]

how you interpret someones "tone" is all on you

[rigid fjord]

sup dude

[iron glen]

contemplating wether to support small creators or not support small creators

[stoic nova]

is the small creator better than the large creator

[iron glen]

depends if you like their product

imo point and click puzzle games are fun

some think they're boring

[dusty mortar]

They are fun

[stoic nova]

these exist after like, 2006?

[rigid fjord]

well spam them and cut several while spamming more of them

[iron glen]

idk the one im looking at released in 2009

[rigid fjord]

depends on the game i would say

[stoic nova]

last big one I even can think of is grim fandago

[iron glen]

machinarium my beloved

i have it on my laptop but i want it on steam

[rigid fjord]

it can be, and they're the same price as many extension packs yet replace the cables that come with the psu instead

[dusty mortar]

Yea, I’m switching to an all black build and I like how cablemod looks

Well all black aside from the aio I’m stuck with

[rigid fjord]

i'd also argue better quality than extensions

[rigid fjord]

if that hx line psu is a type 4 one than a type 3 one, yould be paying a little extra than corsair for the same cables

[dusty mortar]

It’s type 4

[rigid fjord]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L5YG1GN/

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLY1B362/ if you have to deal with 40 series onwards nvidia cards or 9000 series amd cards

[dusty mortar]

Thx

Also the case I want prob won’t fit my aio so I might have to switch back to the stock cooler ;-;

[rigid fjord]

which case?

[dusty mortar]

Looks like it’ll fit, but pc part picker doesn’t show my aio as compatible

[rigid fjord]

glass fronted, hmm, with which aio?

[dusty mortar]

Corsair h100i iirc

[rigid fjord]

correction it's mesh after getting a better pic

[rigid fjord]

might be possible to front mount this but not top mount it

[dusty mortar]

Darn

Might go with the wraith prism then till I can get a good air cooler

[rigid fjord]

not enoughg clearance on the top between mobo and top for a rad to fit for an aio

[rigid fjord]

id cooling a620 se pro, cheap and really good

[dusty mortar]

Oh I was saying that cos I already have it
Came with the cpu

Or I might just side mount the rad till I can get a better air cooler

[rigid fjord]

the okinos cyprus 7 however can do up to 360mm rad on top and/or front

[primal pagoda]

Yo wassup

[latent pasture]

if u can tolerate the noise/warmer temps if u limit fan speed u probably dont even need to get a cooler

[dusty mortar]

Eh, I like the look of this one

[dusty mortar]

Wuh?

[primal pagoda]

Use the cooler that linus used to overclock his rtx 5090 with splave

[abstract wigeon]

any ideas why im feeling motion sick at 165 fps on some games but fine on others?

wither and skyrim flip with me

cyberpunk and minecraft are fine though

[hallow jasper]

Not a doctor

[grizzled marten]

whatre the good 3d printer brands nowadays? i remember one company pulling the rug by locking software over a paywall or something

[odd marsh]

Anything I should know

[unkempt jackal]

should I be worried about this?

[opal yacht]

@formal sonnet Thanks for the help, opened up the pc and reconnected the Bluetooth header and it worked after reinstalling the drivers after that.

[gusty wagon]

You've got an Apple software installed on your pc

[unkempt jackal]

yeah I listen with apple music

[drowsy saffron]

i need to upgrade my storage for my pc but for some reason my drive trays aren’t in my case (i probably took them out while building and forgot to put them back in). m.2 ssds are too expensive for just needing storage for videos. what should i do

Alternatively this one (The one i was gonna go for is out of stock

https://amzn.eu/d/faiLyZp

Also how's this RAM

[pallid surge]

Is the 9060xt enough for 1440p triple AAA games at high setttings. Around 80fps

[harsh plinth]

Hi guys quick question, I currently have a Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo as my cpu cooler for r5 5600, whenever I have high cpu utilization it mostly sits around 70-75 Celsius, should I buy a Aio or just buy two intake fans for the top of my case? I currently have 2 intake 1 exhaust

[grizzled marten]

those temps are perfectly normal under load
if you want it cooler, try adjusting the fan curves of cpu fan

[shy schooner]

the polystation has been opened

[harsh plinth]

Thanks, the cpu boosts always at 4450mhz so I’m guessing that those temps are good enough for now, my 3070 is also around 75 Celsius, sometimes even in the high 70s, low 80s. Would two new intakes on the top of the case help the GPU be cool or would it only affect CPU for the most part

[harsh plinth]

Is that a PCIe port?

The one in the middle

[shy schooner]

No idea

its for the game i know that definetly

[harsh plinth]

It lowkey looks like a really old pcie port

[hallow jasper]

pcie is not old

[honest rose]

Does anyone know of a widget for android that is just text but acts as a app shortcut

[hallow jasper]

it looks like any old edge connector used in ISA, AGP, PCI, PCI-X, PCIe

etc.

[kindred halo]

Original PCI was 1997, PCIe 1.0 in 2003

Not old, yeah

[frail delta]

I'm sure there are plenty of android launchers that do essentially that

[shy schooner]

Ive got no idea wtf this connector is

[frail delta]

pal

i only know its supposed to be audio
