[distant frigate]

Also those upload speeds are absolutely amazing for cellular. 4,542 Mbps download is extremely fast too.

[quartz totem]

alright, you should be good to close out of those windows and restart your system

then it should install without any problems

[crude forge]

I don’t press enter or anything

[quartz totem]

no you dont have to

[distant frigate]

mmWave is a 5G capacity cheat code. It’s just never congested

[quartz totem]

you can click off of the key to get rid of the blue highlight to make sure that the key saved properly if you want

[crude forge]

Ok

Do I put the key in like normal

[quartz totem]

you can just say you dont have the key and activate windows later once its installed

[rigid fjord]

these do different things tbh

[swift moss]

Fair enough yeah

[quick stag]

Guys could someone help me out with my receiver? (Sony str-de225) Theres no sound anymore for some bizarre reason. Fm doesn't give any grain, nothing on the speakers, nothing through the headphones plugged into phone, it doesn't smell weird it's just doing nothing

[crude forge]

It still did the same thing

[swift moss]

Also do you have an opinion on this, I'm looking to buy a quick 957d+, it's like the quick 959d+ but without memory channels, what do ya think? (It's 76usd)

[random gyro]

R7 9700x + 5070Ti gaming pc Vs £500 wagyu steak? Which do I get?

[quartz totem]

alright, then go back in and repeat all the steps but instead add a new value called "BypassTPMCheck"

[rigid fjord]

the one in the first bit also has a chip providing an overcharge protection dude

[quick stag]

or not..

[quartz totem]

both, dont buy a cooler for the cpu and use the pc to cook said steak 👍

[gloomy sleet]

cpu reverse sear

my freind convinced me to try well done wagyu

and honestly it’s not that bad has a good amount of fat in it to still taste good

[quartz totem]

nice, i dont really eat beef so idk about any of that

i just know wagyu is expensive and made in like japan

[gloomy sleet]

well done is really cooked

like ridiculous amount of time cooked

[quartz totem]

damn

[crude forge]

I hate my life rn

[random gyro]

Can't afford both

[crude forge]

I’m cooked

[quartz totem]

yeah if the registry aint working then just do what i said earlier, use rufus to make an install drive without requirements alltogether

[crude forge]

How do I do that?

I’m slow

lol

[frail topaz]

Rufus is fucking goated

[quartz totem]

do you have a second windows pc?

[quartz totem]

real shit

[frail topaz]

top 10 software oat

[quartz totem]

balenaetcher for linux tho

[crude forge]

I’m got a laptop

[quartz totem]

yeah that'll work prefectly. google "Windows 11 ISO" and go to the official microsoft website

[crude forge]

Ok

[craggy cove]

which kit? or is there even a difference? same price

[quartz totem]

second one might be better for overclocking if you want to, otherwise it depends on what look you want for your pc

[quartz totem]

make sure to select this one and download the file, its pretty big so it might take some time

[clear canyon]

DO NOT GO CORSAIR

[hexed tapir]

They both suck

[crude forge]

I have to format the flash drive right delete everything off of it

[craggy cove]

hey 60€ new

so ig the crucial?

[gentle kestrel]

the vegenence has a thermal pad on the pmic

idk if the crucial does

both are them are not great bin so i'd just get what you think looks cooler

[crude forge]

Should I delete the original Windows download that I had on it?

[azure topaz]

this doesnt matter

the PMIC can hit like 80c bro its chillin

PMIC isnt the temperature of the IC's themselves

ofc power delivery is going to get warm even at 6w or something

it simply doesnt need to be cooled

or at least, the cooling it has even with no pad is sufficient

[tawny knoll]

Am i cooked? I bought corsair ram and its running at rated speed and its fine so far

[latent pasture]

ur not cooked

[spring nebula]

corsair ddr4 sucks iirc, ddr5 is fine

[tawny knoll]

coo

[latent pasture]

corsairs only problem is that its overpriced
but if u got the same speed as others at the same price, nothing wrong with it

[tawny knoll]

sweet, good to know, i thought i was cooked lol

[spring nebula]

i feel like corsairs only GOOD products are their PSUs, everything else is mediocre or overpriced

[tawny knoll]

I dont mind paying $6 more for fancy colors on the ram

[latent pasture]

people dont include how much of that is a byproduct that corsair is a popular brand that more of the vocal side of pc building buy
you see plenty of rams of other brands failing xmp etc but those dont get branded the same

[spring nebula]

fair

[rigid fjord]

their cases are really good also

[tawny knoll]

Only the 4000/5000 cases

[latent pasture]

corsair has more complaints bc they also sell more

[tawny knoll]

The other cases that they sell are straight up awful

[spring nebula]

i haven’t been in the tech discussion scene in like a year or two because i just haven’t had any interest in changing parts or shit in my pc lol

[latent pasture]

look at any tg or silicon power cheepo kit and youll find it failing xmp in reviews lol

[rigid fjord]

nope, 7000,9000,700,900,1000d also

[spring nebula]

aren’t they over priced though

[rigid fjord]

some can be, but not all, if you want to see overpriced most of the time, look at nzxt

[spring nebula]

yeah i know lol i have an H9

[rigid fjord]

expensive o11d clone

[spring nebula]

i’ve wanted to downsize but i cba to spend an hour or two moving into a new case

[spring nebula]

yeah i’m aware, i bought it knowing full well i was buying an overpriced fish tank

[tawny knoll]

I've got the H6 flow and its pretty good

It was only 80 bucks cause i bought it on sale

[latent pasture]

even nzxt is breaking out of the overprice
their generic h5 airflow + 4 free fans (3rgb 1 non) is $90

im pretty sure thats actually better than corsair

[clear canyon]

Mine did the same and then randomly started to have issues

[tawny knoll]

Nice

[empty quartz]

I always forget just how fucking good macbook displays are

Especially retina displays

[green viper]

where you can get official or at least legit ISO Files for older Windows Versions like XP or NT

[next radish]

Quick question i have old 2x8gb ddr4 ram sticks but idk if theyre broken, they are the same as my other sticks, if i were to add them and theu are broken could they damage other components?

[random gyro]

Can someone help me a my pc crashed and its not turing back on

[true stirrup]

No your PC just won't post if they are broken and that's it

No harm in trying them

[next radish]

Ight thank you ❤️

I for sure will tmmrow little extra ram never hurt nobody

[winged eagle]

corsair 6k cl30 was the cheapest cl30 i found

[trim gyro]

that's good

[tulip hound]

hi

[rigid fjord]

microsoft.com

[quartz totem]

archive.org usually

[delicate tinsel]

So is the limitation on the rtx 3070 for rendering the 8 GB of vram?

[swift moss]

can anyone actually read ts?

[swift moss]

i should probably include that, no?...

[delicate tinsel]

My task manager looks like this.

[tired bear]

read - no problem
understand old english - ye na ye na

[trim gyro]

le we had light to believe in the light

[swift moss]

i struggle to read this ngl ig I aint meant to be in the 1500s

[swift moss]

yeah thats what i can read easily

"that we might be children of the ligh"

[rigid fjord]

some of it

[rigid fjord]

would be a wise choice

[swift moss]

ok ill check that out

i actually want to test the pcb first but overcharge aint hard so may asw do that

[rigid fjord]

saves an exploding battery and sudden fire

[swift moss]

yeah

probably a relevant implication for my project

i gotta speed up development lmfao its due in october + 54 page essay

[rigid fjord]

very much so

[swift moss]

and i got an engineering comp to do in august

[winged eagle]

guys

[trim gyro]

syug

[winged eagle]

have i been trolled

or is it fine

[trim gyro]

only need the 8-pin

[winged eagle]

i dont understand

but it says theres only 1 4x

so thats just the one on the left

wait no

idk am i fine or do i need to get a psu with more pins?

[rigid fjord]

read it properly, and no

[winged eagle]

4+4

[rigid fjord]

= 8 pin

[winged eagle]

but theres 12 pins there

[grizzled frost]

only need the 8-pin

[rigid fjord]

and??, you don't need the extra 4 pin ffs

[winged eagle]

why not

[rigid fjord]

common sense you do not have

[winged eagle]

yeo

yep

[grizzled frost]

you can get 300w from just the 8pin, that's more than enough

that 300w is dedicated to just the CPU

[winged eagle]

so why is there 12 than

[grizzled frost]

vanity

[winged eagle]

nah ur trolling me i know it already

[grizzled frost]

real answer is "future proofing" for potential future chips with higher power draws

and if people want to then overclock those chips

theoretically its a tiny bit safer to distribute the load amongst more pins, but that doesn't matter at all for CPU power draw

plus people spend more when they see more power connectors for some reason

[winged eagle]

its for a 7800x3d so it needs a lot of power

[grizzled frost]

7800x3d and "lot of power draw" do not belong in the same sentence

[winged eagle]

265w tdp it says

[lethal bay]

fucking where lmao

[winged eagle]

on amazon

[grizzled frost]

that isn't the TDP

though TDP is basically meaningless

[lethal bay]

Amazon is incorrect 99% of the time on stuff like that

[winged eagle]

what is that even

[grizzled frost]

max power draw is 162w, but it uses more like 80w in gaming

[winged eagle]

so ur sure im good to use this psu for a 7800x3d?

[grizzled frost]

yes

[winged eagle]

thank fuck i was shitting myself there

i was searching up pc shops near me already

[grizzled frost]

also what exactly is the PSU model?

[tawny knoll]

If its at least a 600w then yeah

[winged eagle]

corsair

cx650

[grizzled frost]

fine for a 7800x3d, just don't go crazy on your gpu

[tawny knoll]

You dont need anything more than a single 4+4 connection to run any CPU, any extra connectors are for overclocking and cleaner power

[winged eagle]

6750xt

[winged eagle]

thank god man

thanks guys

[rigid fjord]

nah

[rigid fjord]

no it doesn't that is one of the most dumbest statements ever

[grizzled frost]

bit late mate

[rigid fjord]

the extra 4 pin is for those that want to XOC

[grizzled frost]

and if people want to then overclock those chips

bit late mate

[winged eagle]

cooking him up rn

[tawny knoll]

man my stomach hurts a lot rn

[rigid fjord]

nah, general OC don't need it, it's when it comes to XOC it's needed

[lethal bay]

me when I eat a gas station burrito and drink a monster for breakfast

[tawny knoll]

I had a pepsi and a bag of takis

[winged eagle]

who doesnt have a monster for breakfast

[winged eagle]

@rigid fjord ai overview but nevertheless

[rigid fjord]

ah, sweet, even better

[rigid fjord]

you're probably to young to have alcohol as it is

kraken and cola

well kraken and pepsi

[strange atlas]

Just cause my bluetooth doesnt work from my bad i found a work around that i'm thinking of doing

Would usb hub work with 4 bluetooth devices

If i put like whole ass cable from computer to bed

And than plug it there

[clever burrow]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wYs4jn is this good

[trim gyro]

I think a 9600X is cheaper

thermal paste is included with the CPU cooler, so you don't need to buy another one

montech air 903 should have all the fans you need, so unless you hate those fans, you don't need to buy 6 more

[clever burrow]

im tryna stay with nvidia cuz im not really familiar with radeon

[trim gyro]

my apologies, AMD Ryzen 5 9600X Cpu

[clever burrow]

oh

[dawn tundra]

Guess I got gifted this lian li case from my father's work, guy said he didn't have anything to do with it, it's better than my case!

[swift moss]

My friend says cola + lemon tastes good but I've yet to try lmfao

[trim gyro]

looks very roomy

[arctic kettle]

It does.

Especially in a comically shaped cup.

[trim gyro]

craving craft cola now

[rigid fjord]

nah, 7600/7600x being cheaper

[arctic kettle]

I built my brother's computer in this case, would recommend.

[trim gyro]

he has a 7600 in his list, which is $197, the 9600X is $179

[dawn tundra]

It's probably better than my current Case

[trim gyro]

the 7600X is the same price as the 9600X

[arctic kettle]

Discord sucks and won't let me scroll back far enough to send this.

Had to take a screenshot.

[empty quartz]

I hate that

Why is your power going like that 😭😭😭

Your pcie power cables

[dawn tundra]

https://www.microcenter.com/product/668529/powerspec-g235-gaming-pc my PC ( was a gift)

[arctic kettle]

He asked for it to be like that.

I would not have done it that way if it was mine.

[empty quartz]

That is not bad, but but personally i’d upgrade the mobo and ram

[arctic kettle]

Example of my old ATX build

[empty quartz]

Is that a 360 slim?

[arctic kettle]

Yeah.

[empty quartz]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1193811803378036796

[empty quartz]

I wanna buy a 360 elite

[candid void]

hey guys out of these two would there be any big difference in between these two ?

[empty quartz]

And/or an xbox one elite

[rigid fjord]

corsair psu?

[candid void]

both got same ram, gpu just one doesnt have a hdd and the cpu is different from i5 6400 to i5 7400

[empty quartz]

Are they the same price?

[rigid fjord]

if these are sub 400 each, the 7400 still

[candid void]

the one with 7400 is 30 bucks and 6400 is around 26 bucks

[empty quartz]

Damn, dirt cheap

[candid void]

i meant 260

[rigid fjord]

the 7400 still then

[empty quartz]

Oh

[candid void]

300 and 260 lol not 30 and 26 lol

[arctic kettle]

Yeah.

[empty quartz]

Id say 6400 and upgrade it to a 7400

Since you can get them for cheap

[azure topaz]

you cant

most oem computers that are 6th gen are 6th gen locked

also an upgrade form a 6400 to a 7400 is probably 10% at most

[candid void]

these are 2nd hand pc haha just for some light hobby thing im trynna get

[azure topaz]

go with the cheaper one, 6/7th are effectively the same

[azure topaz]

(and vice versa)

[candid void]

ok

[trim gyro]

could be a third-hand pc

[empty quartz]

🥶

[azure topaz]

probably 5th if its 6/7th gen

gotta remember those aare nearing 10 years

[rigid fjord]

he could of gotten their type 4 to gen 5 pcie 600w cable

[trim gyro]

I think it celebrated its 10th anniversary already

[azure topaz]

like i think the 6500 is 10

[arctic kettle]

This was built in 2023.

[azure topaz]

and that 7th gen is almost 10

[empty quartz]

Happy 200th anniversary intel 14nm

[rigid fjord]

the cable came out then for the 3090/3090ti tbh

[azure topaz]

gotta get out of the mindset That these machines are still decent today

i see 8500s hitting 100% usage in office tasks im not lying to you

"its got 6 cores!" simply doesnt cut it anymore

[empty quartz]

I think my next upgrade for my workstation with be an ssd

[arctic kettle]

Ahhh

[empty quartz]

6c6t*

[azure topaz]

an 8700 really isnt that much better

[arctic kettle]

Still, he probably wouldn't have cared about that unfortunately.

[azure topaz]

source me:

and the same 8700 hitting 30% usage without anything gaming related open

26% just moving a browser window around

[trim gyro]

hmm I have a 6700T CPU to test your claims

[trim gyro]

I'm not betting money though, since I have a feeling you're right

[azure topaz]

ofc when im not doing anything its going to sit at a lower percentage (5-15%)

[arctic kettle]

How much did it spike while taking this screenshot?

[azure topaz]

i saw 46%

[arctic kettle]

lol

[azure topaz]

task manager isnt even close to always right but

thats not a good sign for how these chips hold up today

thats not even 6th gen consider that too

i genuinely saw a 7500 hitting 100% loading a medium sized excel sheet today at work

as well as 100% of the installed 8gb ram

which i hope non of you argue in favor of

because man this computer dont even play games. its legit the computer on my desk at work 😭

ram usage is dynamic yes but if my dynamic usage is double at idle of 8GB its just never ending up well on 8GB

this computer hitches while closing large amount of tabs in the browser 😭

[empty quartz]

@azure topaz do you have experience with overclocking on x99

[azure topaz]

not a lot

the voltage limit is what you can cool

(the vcore limit is what you can cool*)

SA/IO is obviously not the same and if you just wham them to 1.4v you will not have a great time

[tired bear]

clearly you need more

[empty quartz]

Would it be possible to unlock the bclk on my x99-a for my 2695v4?

[azure topaz]

no because the bclk is probably on the CPU lol

i doubt you have an external clock gen

you get 103. thats it

[azure topaz]

this is true

[azure topaz]

i doubt any x99 boards have an external clock gen tbh

[candid void]

haha im just using that pc for a very small game only

[azure topaz]

ohp theres a gigabyte one

[candid void]

maplestory and lolchesr

[azure topaz]

thatll work for suresies

[azure topaz]

https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-X99-SLI-rev-10

i have no idea if the 2695v4 is the proper stepping to allow bclk oc

[candid void]

i do have a 6900xt as my main pc

[plush wren]

Its Impossible to fix a sleep schedule

On hood

[azure topaz]

you are scammer

[plush wren]

no

i went to sleep at 11:40 pm and fucking slept for 12 hours

[arctic kettle]

lmao

[grizzled frost]

one moment as i load a save file

[empty quartz]

Ill ask le resident professional

[grizzled frost]

hehe

[empty quartz]

@peak knot does the asus x99-a have an external clock gen?

[azure topaz]

there’s a couple apparently

[arctic kettle]

[azure topaz]

this is a definite no if it doesn’t boot above 103/105 bclk

[empty quartz]

Funnily enough fzr is actually on dawid server too

[grizzled frost]

it goes above the UE5 max object limit

i had to change the limit just to get it to load

[arctic kettle]

haha

[grizzled frost]

Not my save mind you, but a friends

i only got 500hrs into my satisfactory save

[empty quartz]

I wonder how well my workstation would handle a save like that

[grizzled frost]

probably not all that well, satisfactory is single thread limited

[empty quartz]

Fuck

Mod time

[grizzled frost]

doesn't work

[empty quartz]

[grizzled frost]

there isn't a mod that makes it more multithreaded, nor can one really exist

[empty quartz]

I7 6900k 69ghz time

[grizzled frost]

parallelization makes the production math go to shit really quick

[shadow nest]

How tf does chipset deal w delay being outside of dye w cpu that cycles 6.9GHz anyway. Sounds clunk

[azure topaz]

what

[grizzled frost]

what

[empty quartz]

Skeet is braindead

[azure topaz]

i for some reason believe you

[grizzled frost]

why would the chipset care at all what the CPU is clocked at

it mostly just does IO

[empty quartz]

On this server i actually use my brain

Sometimes

[azure topaz]

i’m generally at like 70% brain capacity idk

it’s not that deep when most people asking for help don’t care that much or aren’t even listening

[zinc widget]

Just had to stand in Geek Squad line. Guy in front of me was pissed cuz he tried to put 128gb in his 10600k machine and it bootlooped

[shadow nest]

6.9 billion cycles a second and clock signal is anywhere farther than chip

[azure topaz]

what

[zinc widget]

He was telling me about it and I was just thinking “bro I know u don’t need that much ram”

[grizzled frost]

why would the chipset care at all what the cpu is clocked at

it mostly just does IO

[azure topaz]

there’s no scenario where i could think of a 6 core being useful with 128gb ram even if it was a modern one

[grizzled frost]

i have two 8 core chips at 256gb each

[zinc widget]

Fr 4x32 ddr4 is known to be extra stable too

[empty quartz]

Im like one of 2 people who actually need more than 32gb

(Severe understatement)

[azure topaz]

even i need more than 32 and i mostly game

[grizzled frost]

48gb would probably have sufficed for me, but i'm vain so i went with 96

[zinc widget]

Bro must be running like a ramdisk or some shit

[azure topaz]

my server is always above 32

in terms of usage

[empty quartz]

My main system needs like 64-96gb, and my workstation has 8x the memory capacity of my main

[grizzled frost]

my server uses a lot of its ram as a read cache since it's on truenas

also this satisfactory save has yet to load

[zinc widget]

My laptop has 24gb and my desktop has 32

[azure topaz]

ag i don’t cache anything in my netwok storage because it’s all small files on SSD storage anyways

[grizzled frost]

my laptop has 8gb, my desktop has 96, my main server has 512

[plush wren]

Fart

[azure topaz]

my entire setup is severely underspecced for what i do and who i am

[empty quartz]

My main desktop has 32, my workstation has 256, my mac pro has 128, my windows laptop has 16, and my macbook pro 13” has 8

[grizzled frost]

my setup is way overspeced for everything but my laptop

[plush wren]

Bro got 2 laptops

[grizzled frost]

you skipping over the 3 desktops?

[azure topaz]

i only have 32 in the main desktop, 64 in server, 24 in laptops

[empty quartz]

I have wayyyyy more than just 2

[azure topaz]

the servers backup rig has 16

[plush wren]

[zinc widget]

I thought bro was just getting ram installed into his Alienware Aurora (that’s why it’s boot looping lol) and I was gonna be like “dude give me $40 and I’ll do it in the parking lot”

[azure topaz]

my firewall has 16

[quick stag]

lmfao woc (world of coding) got hacked (a coding server with like 80K ish people) and they made it a crypto scam, this is one crazy good shit show

[plush wren]

Bro decided to type woc anyways

[quick stag]

yes

i'm autistic

[grizzled frost]

this is how far i've gotten into loading the save, iirc the dude was sitting at 50gb when he ran the save

[plush wren]

i gotta see ts

[shadow nest]

Idk about you but reversely i cant think of a time i didnt join thread, wait, poll or wake or some sht with two or more 'threads' before doing anything w it

[azure topaz]

what

[grizzled frost]

what

[azure topaz]

brother PLEASE just a little more sense

i beg

[grizzled frost]

i don't think i've fully understood a single message you've sent yet

[shadow nest]

Why does amount of cores matter with respect to operative memory at all is my point

Except for hardware limitations idk

[fickle ivy]

Ram aquired

[zinc widget]

U don’t need that in a laptop

[tired bear]

funny

[azure topaz]

because it’s very hard to use 12 threads and 128GB, especially when those 12 threads are very slow

[grizzled frost]

computational capacity will generally limit you before you can get to utilizing lots of RAM

[azure topaz]

yes

[fickle ivy]

Yes I do

[azure topaz]

lots of vms could make use of 128GB but lots of vms on 12 slow cores is bad

[tired bear]

funny 1tb maximum memory

[zinc widget]

A 10 600 K would reach a temperature comparable to the surface of the sun before it gets to a point where you could computationally use 128 gigs of RAM with it

[grizzled frost]

best i can do

[azure topaz]

maybe a large ai dataset but again the 10600 would still be too slow

[tired bear]

you can use it to great degree by running database on the ram

[zinc widget]

No, the best part was the guy said that he thinks the boot looping is because the power supply is only 500W

[azure topaz]

LMAO

not his brick ass board

[zinc widget]

You weren’t doing that on an Alienware Aurora

[azure topaz]

10th gen boards sucked oem ones especially on

[grizzled frost]

we've loaded! ish

[indigo basin]

tiny cube

I need an RGB controller :(

[zinc widget]

I just told him “ you’re really pushing the limits of your chipset and that’s probably the issue.”

[tired bear]

i have ram but nowhere to plug it in

[indigo basin]

is for me 🥺

[azure topaz]

it’s really the board more than likely. it almost positively has a cap on memory sizes

[indigo basin]

i have a good use for it

[azure topaz]

the chipset and cpu can both do 128GB the board can’t

it shouldn’t even care that much

[zinc widget]

I’m pretty sure it’s because I think 10th GEN was the first gen of Intel consumer CPU that supported 128 gigs

[azure topaz]

definitely no

[plush wren]

Boing

[zinc widget]

So it’s probably got a shitty ram controller on the chip that can barely handle it coupled with the shitty Dell motherboard

[azure topaz]

it’s the board bro

quit blaming the fuckin poor cpu

i ran 4800 on 4 dimms on lga 1200

[tired bear]

is for chrome

[azure topaz]

i guarantee you the board could probably even do128gb but they have an artificial limit in the bios

[indigo basin]

chromedriver? :3

[azure topaz]

i’m pretty sure the 7700k even supports 128gb lol

[zinc widget]

You know what honestly that would be funnier, it worked, but then bro tried to enable XMP and it couldn’t handle 3200 MHz 128 gigs so bro threw in the towel and took it to Best Buy

[indigo basin]

my server has better RAM than my pc

[azure topaz]

this is a plausible scenario

one much more likely than the cpu not liking it at jedec

[peak knot]

Idk

[zinc widget]

I mean, it was crucial ram, that stuff is usually pretty stable

[tired bear]

i am thinking of buying a bunch of am4 asrock 4 dimm boards and cheap ryzens, then making a cluster

[azure topaz]

generally

[indigo basin]

I don't have the money to do that sadly, I'd love to be able to do stuff like that

what would you use it for

[zinc widget]

90% it’s probably just a bad stick, and I have all the RMA claims I’ve ever had to do ram companies are usually the easiest to get a claim

[azure topaz]

unless he really is trying to run it at xmp

then it’s just user error

[zinc widget]

I am now loyal to G skill because one time I had a bad ram and sent an email. They were like that give me the serial number and then they mailed me a good one.

[tired bear]

proxmox HA, maybe ceph

[azure topaz]

proxmox my goat

[indigo basin]

i wanna run proxmox but i rely on software that runs on windows

so i dont have much use to switch away from winserver

[azure topaz]

if you want to just get into home labbing you can for really cheap

[tired bear]

proxmox can host a windows vm

[azure topaz]

so run a windows vm

[zinc widget]

Also, as an electrical engineer, recent grad, I looked into getting my own oscilloscope

[azure topaz]

yeah we both just blew this guys mind martin

[indigo basin]

all my stuff runs on windows
there would be like 2 things that wouldnt be in the VM

[zinc widget]

Dear God, they are so damn expensive

[azure topaz]

proxmox is always a vm

[indigo basin]

wouldnt the perf overhead from running VMs in proxmox just

[azure topaz]

no

[indigo basin]

nmot be worth it

[azure topaz]

don’t assume anything just go learn a bout it before seeming more stupid

[zinc widget]

I should’ve stole one from my university’s lab when I had the chance

[azure topaz]

(you’re not stupid i know)

[indigo basin]

its a nightmare to get display access to my server

thats why i dont bother

same with keyboard etc
ports are bloody impossible to access

did it to myself tbf

[tired bear]

what
just rdp to it

[indigo basin]

bios.

if i reboot my server i have to pray it doesnt give up 😭

[tired bear]

uh, ilo is for that

[indigo basin]

whats ilo?

[tired bear]

Integrated lights out

[zinc widget]

Or wake on lan though that’s a more expensive feature

[grizzled frost]

big save

[indigo basin]

are you sure its efficient enough?

[grizzled frost]

(every biome looks like this)

[azure topaz]

wake on lan, like the name implies, does not turn on the computer

[grizzled frost]

it's 100% efficient resource wise

[azure topaz]

it wakes it up from sleep on a command

[grizzled frost]

power on LAN is what turns on the computer

[tired bear]

dedicated managment processor that is alive as soon as power is applied. you access bios like settings alongside remote managment and monitoring

remote kvm is also avalibile

[indigo basin]

a remotekvm would work well

[zinc widget]

Yeah, I think she was option. Might be like a pi KVM.

[grizzled frost]

pi KVM*

[zinc widget]

Speech to text does not like that device

[grizzled frost]

using text to speech on discord sounds insufferable

[indigo basin]

this is all i run on my server atm
discord bot, minecraft server, webserver and file stores

[grizzled frost]

all i run is an SMB share, and a plex library

[tired bear]

ilo is much more than kvm

[indigo basin]

isnt it paid?
looking on their website i only see a "buy" button

[zinc widget]

Well, yeah, I know, but it also cost much more.

[indigo basin]

i have 15 pence to my name

🌚

[tired bear]

it is "paid" buy buying HP server

[zinc widget]

pi kvm it’s just a hat you buy for a pi 4 (assuming you have one)

[indigo basin]

i have an arduino but i highly doubt thats capable 😭

i might turn that arduino into an RGB controller for my controller(less) computer

[zinc widget]

It’s Janky as hell, but you could rig the Arduino to act as a remote power switch

[indigo basin]

oh hell

[shadow nest]

Wait wait remote display? VNC?

[indigo basin]

id have better luck leaving an android phone there with some jankass software

[azure topaz]

VNC SUCKS.

[indigo basin]

right now im using crd

[tired bear]

ready made devices exist

[zinc widget]

Well, all you do is just set it so that whenever you send it a command over land, it jumps the power pins, or could hold the power pen jumped in order to do a full shutdown

[indigo basin]

i also have no money

[tired bear]

its like 3$

[shadow nest]

Pretty sure at this point msft gave up and basically captures the screen, codecs it and streams like some h264 video no?

[indigo basin]

i have 20 cents in american currency

[grizzled frost]

rgb bad

[zinc widget]

I kinda dig RGB ever since I got everything on my set up working with signal

[indigo basin]

however...

[indigo basin]

signal is buns

[grizzled frost]

openRGB is the best for turning off all my RGB

[indigo basin]

^

in openrgb we trust

[grizzled frost]

one of the only things i found that detects FE card RGB

[zinc widget]

Yeah but it doesn’t support all my shit

[indigo basin]

dawg how does openrgb not support your shit 😭

[grizzled frost]

openRGB supports damn near everything

[zinc widget]

Custom QMK firmware for my keyboard

[indigo basin]

you sure you looked for it?

[indigo basin]

ahhh

surprised signal finds that

[tired bear]

i got fancy software called "no rgb™️ unplug all the rgb shiid 2"

[indigo basin]

i have a visualiser on my keyboard

[zinc widget]

Me and another dude on their discord basically made the qmk code for specifically the Drop Shift v2 for Signalrgb

[indigo basin]

lost me at qmk code

[tired bear]

i have no need for rgb as my pc is literally in another room

[indigo basin]

i tried signal and it didnt supoprt my keyboard, mouse or GPU

[shadow nest]

Windows remote fx gpu or whatever. Already microsoft updated some point in win 10 to disable it lol. To date pretty sure power shell script task scheduled to repeatedly run and make sure it's uninstalled

[tired bear]

what is the problem?

[indigo basin]

windows™

[shadow nest]

Never had trouble with vnc tho. Just run it and watch desktop video stream

[indigo basin]

looks like it might be a response to my issue with server stuff

[shadow nest]

Well someone offered 'RDP'. Thats just microsoft way of saying vnc basically at this point no?

[indigo basin]

i really wanna run ollama locally with gpu

[tired bear]

4 gpus go brrr

[indigo basin]

take THIS!

[tired bear]

what is this sciypt trying to solve?
i have never had issues with rdp

[shadow nest]

Same thing captures compositor, codecs and streams video lol. Remote display idk but all you gotta do is make it a display adapter imo. Whats the diff. On linux tho, xorg.

[shadow nest]

Same here.

[indigo basin]

ive never had an AIO before
how the hell is it spitting this much heat out

[grizzled frost]

i don't feel like disassembling my 4080S FE just to disable the RGB

[indigo basin]

like i knew it would be more

[tired bear]

snip snip

[grizzled frost]

exact same amount of heat assuming the same power draw*

[indigo basin]

kicks out alot more heat than my old air cooler

[grizzled frost]

is the CPU consuming significantly more power?

[indigo basin]

less

[grizzled frost]

then the AIO is producing less heat than your air cooler

because thats how energy works

[indigo basin]

feels like more

[grizzled frost]

cool, it's not

[shadow nest]

On windows server tho just make sure you end session properly every time. Otherwise come back one day to lag. Check tasks and its a million dead sessions still running whatever you had

[indigo basin]

i think i should know that 😭

[indigo basin]

i use crd

[grizzled frost]

who still uses windows server

[indigo basin]

that seems to manage itself

[crude robin]

Anyone know how to make a Google Pixel 8 Pro not drain battery so fricking much?

[indigo basin]

lower brightness, close background tasks

[shadow nest]

But log off i think will actually log the user and end all sessions pretty sure. Sometimes the end rdp session option isnt there tho. Should be in power menu w reboot, shutdown, etc instead of log out button 😛

[indigo basin]

software is funky

[shadow nest]

Luckily on non server it only allows like max two or some sht. There's a script to fix that though.

[tired bear]

who still uses OS with UI as a server?

[indigo basin]

ouch

[indigo basin]

me because im 17 and dont understand half of this shit 😭

[grizzled frost]

great question, not me

[shadow nest]

Ikr. Every single windows server supported apparently

[grizzled frost]

watch youtube

[shadow nest]

Meanwhile linux server screen -x and boom you can even attach to same one concurrently. Like move the cursor and type at the same time.

[tired bear]

yep

[indigo basin]

switching to linux on my server is somewhere on my todo list

[grizzled frost]

i like truenas and proxmox more, you just need a screen to get it installed, then boom

[shadow nest]

On win i only ever achieved that with two usb mouse plugged in. Then you and your friend battle to move mouse and click diff shit xD

[grizzled frost]

never liked linux server

[indigo basin]

hey you have professional sensors!
i rely on an adruino instead lmao

[grizzled frost]

somewhere on my todo list is to get more sensors and cameras

[shadow nest]

At least you have option w/o needing like direct x 999 gpu and 2.69GB of graphical interface idk. Even if you remote shell, win server still requires gui for some reason

[grizzled frost]

i'm not arguing for win server, shit sucks

[tired bear]

I also have rms that sends me sms alerts

[grizzled frost]

truenas/proxmox my beloved

[indigo basin]

oo thats pretty cool
think it would annoy me though
i actually rely on my discord bot for stuff like this LOL
i have an API that has a "drain" system so i can queue messages for my bot to process

sms bypasses dnd on my phone

[grizzled frost]

why?

sms is the main reason i use DND

[shadow nest]

At least before you could disable like compositor and aero theme. Now even that isnt possible. And to rub salt in the wound they removed the only cool stuff about it like glass. Basically whole ass 2gb desktop env with compositor and it draws minimalistic flat monotone sht.

[grizzled frost]

i just have certain people set as an exception

[indigo basin]

one people that have my number are family and my partner

[tired bear]

eh, system has horrible UI from early 2000 with fucked up configuration

[grizzled frost]

so set them as exceptions for DND instead of setting SMS as the exception

[indigo basin]

bleh

still wont change me relying on my discord bot

[peak knot]

just made a cool chart showing how temperature can affect voltage stability in electronics

[grizzled frost]

i don't trust discord to do anything reliably, let alone update me on my hardware's health

[shadow nest]

PRTG

[indigo basin]

i just use it for notifications

[tired bear]

power consumption is LOTS

[grizzled frost]

what software are you using to monitor stuff?

[tired bear]

somethin proprietary

[fickle ivy]

Old ram vs new ram

4x more capacity

no more memeroy related crashes hopefully!

I have 9 uni sl fans connected in pairs of 3, two of them are working fine and one of the links is broken. The lighs when i set them to white turn like a yellow but if i turn two off and one of them on then its the right color. I need some help.

Its most likely a power issue but i just dont know the fix

[fickle ivy]

What's the absolute cheapest laptop I could buy for use at school? I'm sick of having to sign into slow ass chromebooks 10 times a day
I don't have a set budget but I'm going to do art commissions over the summer to see how much I can make
I just need it to run the Microsoft 365 suite smoothly and maybe run a drawing tablet off in case I wanna draw at school
what should I look into getting?

[random gyro]

m4 macbook pro

[lone ibex]

Maybe like a budget android tablet that can use one of those keyboards and can run krita with a decent Bluetooth stylus?

go do it bro its not that bad trust

[sinful wasp]

its definietly fake

[empty quartz]

What specs

[inner spruce]

rtx 3050 i5-12400f 16 gb 1 tb ssd and i drop to 13 fps from 240 fps on fortnite on performance mode

[empty quartz]

Could be a memory issue

[inner spruce]

and i have alot of stutters in windows

it self

[plush wren]

Same I missed a deal of a lifetime

[empty quartz]

@inner spruce did you turn on xmp

[plush wren]

Im really tempted to buy it

[plush wren]

my brother has a mbp m1 still holding up

[plush wren]

3rd laptop thats a bit silly

[empty quartz]

I only have 3.5 macbook pro’s rn

[plush wren]

Do you even need the m1

[empty quartz]

I would much rather not have to charge my laptop practically all day

[plush wren]

So is that a yes

[empty quartz]

Oui

[plush wren]

If you think about it thats like a 70% yes which is greater than 51% which would mean yes

Then great why not

[empty quartz]

If i wait until next month, and sell a bunch of my tech, i could get a m1 mbp 14” for dirt cheap

$1000 for a 3050 pc?

[inner spruce]

pre bulit

[random gyro]

Yeah, doesn't change much

[strange leaf]

Still tho

[inner spruce]

no i added a 200$ gpu to it

i can show u the pre bulit it is garbage im gonna throw it out

fps horrible

[strange leaf]

U chose a 3050 for $200?!

[random gyro]

Should've got an Rx 6600M

[inner spruce]

nah

nvidia better for fortnite

[random gyro]

Nope

[strange leaf]

😭

[random gyro]

Not true. Common misconception

[inner spruce]

ngl i dont really care abt that gpu part but i just need help fixing the frame rate

because im gonna throw it out if i dont

[random gyro]

Could be ram or vram

[inner spruce]

nah ram is fine

16 gb

[strange leaf]

Then its vram

[random gyro]

What speeds tho

[inner spruce]

ddr4

3200 mhz

[strange leaf]

Could deffo be that

[random gyro]

Could be faulty ram

What game do u notice stutters? Fn?

[inner spruce]

just FORTNITe nothing else

[random gyro]

Ah, that's just fortnite

[inner spruce]

also windows sometimes

[random gyro]

Stuttery mess. What settings you play on?

[inner spruce]

performance comp settings

[strange leaf]

Windows stutters?

[inner spruce]

yup

during login in

[random gyro]

Try frame cap of 5 above refresh rate

[inner spruce]

no it doesnt even keep stable fps

it drops 17 fps

[random gyro]

What version of the 3050 did u get?

[inner spruce]

8 gb

[random gyro]

Updated drivers?

[inner spruce]

it keeps up with fortnite i already looked at all this i would still be getting around 180 fps

[inner spruce]

drivers do nothing for my frame rate ive downgraded upgraded ts does not do nothing

still drops to 17 fps

[random gyro]

Uninstall fortnite., and then

Never install it again.

[inner spruce]

ive already done that

[empty quartz]

What the fuck

[inner spruce]

nah i dont need this pc but il sell it if fortnite doesnt run then is shit

is this a good monitor?

[random gyro]

Tbh, it's a 3050, it's slower than a 2060, you're better off removing it and using it as a paper weight.

[inner spruce]

i had a profesional look at it

You've given nothing. You have an answer for everything.

[empty quartz]

Thats why i have him ignored

[strange leaf]

Got sniped

[inner spruce]

yea

[random gyro]

Nah, it's cause u can't handle confrontation

[empty quartz]

Nah, i handle confrontation very well

You just annoy the fuck out of me

[random gyro]

The problem is, and the reason I'm just having fun now, is you've got an answer for everything and every suggestion I've made. You've provided no further information and it doesn't sound like a massive problem. I feel like you want a specific answer more than you want help fixing the problem.

[jaunty apex]

You haven't tried fixing the problem, you told them to uninstall fortnite

[random gyro]

What did I do in the past to be ignored? I bet you don't even remember. I remember that you couldn't handle confrontation and I remember a few people messaging me agreeing too. Lmao.

[random gyro]

I asked if they have the latest drivers, I said it seems like a ram or vram issue, the 2 primary reasons Fortnite would stutter. Try a frame cap. Fortnite is just a stuttery game. Faulty ram. I've provided suggestions.

[crude forge]

Can somebody help me with my pc

[random gyro]

Sure wassup

[crude forge]

Do u mind if we have a chat

Like a vc

[random gyro]

Here, yes, not in call or private

Just do your best and I'll do mine

[crude forge]

Oh ok

I just built my new PC and it won’t let me run Windows 11

Someone had told me to format my SSD. I have no idea how to do that.

[empty quartz]

Let me guess akira?

[crude forge]

I had to run Windows 10 because it wouldn’t let me run Windows 11. It said I didn’t meet the requirements.

[random gyro]

What do you mean it won't let you run it? What does it come up with?

[random gyro]

I don't remember, the last time I spoke to u was over a month or two ago

[random gyro]

Yeah, so search on internet bypasstpmcheck

[crude forge]

I tried it with somebody else and it didn’t work

We couldn’t bypass it

[random gyro]

Did u do both bypassTPMcheck and bypasssecurebootcheck?

[crude forge]

Yea

[random gyro]

Hmmmm, interesting

What specs did u choose?

[empty quartz]

I had you ignored because you malded over me saying to get your dad a typewriter because he’s a writer

[random gyro]

Oh yeah, that's right. Or should I say... Write.

[empty quartz]

Just for that, im un-ignoring you

[crude forge]

These are the main three

[empty quartz]

Sweet

Asus

[random gyro]

I just get easily irritated, I don't know everything, I want my dad to be happy and I just wanted advice and help for a laptop, so when u said typewriter, it just kinda set me off but hey, we move.

[random gyro]

They're good parts, so there's no reason there should be an issue.

[empty quartz]

Ngl, i do think he would’ve appreciated a typewriter and a laptop

Typewriters are unironically 10/10 for writing

[random gyro]

Well, he's using his current laptop still but it's slow, and he's considering an iPad as well.

[random gyro]

What SSD?

[empty quartz]

When i got into writing, i did the original write on my typewriter, and then the proofreading on a laptop to correct spelling mistakes and whatnot

[formal prism]

Don't short CC1 and CC2, USB-C chargers will reject power to such a port with an emarked cable. What is the purpose of the schottky to VBUS? If you were doing USB-PD, you might consider a Zener to ground or an ESD IC (a bunch of TVSs) but that's not necessary for a non-USB-PD type-c sink

[random gyro]

I see, I mean, I didn't think that'd be practical.

[strange leaf]

Just bought the 310 7900xtx is the Design clean?

[empty quartz]

Actually helps me get to actually writing without any of the distractions of using a laptop

[random gyro]

Yeah, that should be fine

[empty quartz]

Guh

When did u build it?

[empty quartz]

Is that an itx mobo…

[empty quartz]

@crude forge

[crude forge]

Nice 👍

[strange leaf]

Was like that dont look too huge til i saw the chair 😭😭

[random gyro]

Hmmmm, idk what the issue could be. If u have another device you could try installing windows on that device using the current P3 then put it into your pc. But that wouldn't really make a difference.

[strange leaf]

Whats the shit weigh?

[crude forge]

I don’t

[empty quartz]

Too much

[random gyro]

Okay, take me through what happened. You put the pc together then what, usb?

[strange leaf]

Im crying my friend just payed full price for windows

[crude forge]

I turned it on. It took me to bios I plugged in the flash drive and I launched Windows 11 I put my key in and when I hit it hit me with that screen.

[random gyro]

Could you reset the SSD?

[random gyro]

Have you been to the bios and enabled TPM?

[swift moss]

Hmm, what should I tie the cc pins to then? I just want a working prototype for now

[formal prism]

Individual resistors

[crude forge]

How

[random gyro]

Either del, F1 or f2 on keyboard during start up

[swift moss]

so this?

[crude forge]

It finally booted me into something else

[random gyro]

Okay, send a pic

[swift moss]

idk im pretty sure that was what the sample bq25606 schematic

[crude forge]

It won’t let me click next on any of them and for my SSD it says this

[swift moss]

i need 5v 3A from the circuit i think so idk if pd neccesity or not

[random gyro]

Show details

[random gyro]

Select everything on that list and click delete partition

[crude forge]

This is way farther than I’ve ever got

[random gyro]

Then format partition once youve deleted them all

[lament mountain]

Could someone help me

[crude forge]

I clicked it and now I’m stuck

[formal prism]

Are you sure you weren't looking at a simplified example schematic? Check a reference design or eval kit schematic. Shorting CC1 and CC2 is what the early revisions of RPi4 did by mistake and it limited the cables that could be used with it

[crude forge]

It won’t delete them. It’ll just freeze until I click on another one.

[swift moss]

ah i see, but is this a fix what i sent?

[random gyro]

Okay, click the 930gb one and click format

[crude forge]

Ok

It stays frozen now

[random gyro]

Give it a second

[crude forge]

Should I restart the process and this time insert my key

Ok

[random gyro]

Go to bios

[crude forge]

Ok

I’m in bios

[random gyro]

Okay send a pic

[zinc widget]

Yeah I always bios secure erase when that happens

[formal prism]

Yes, and USB-PD isn't needed for 5V 3A so you're good with that

[zinc widget]

There’s a tool called NVME secure erase

[swift moss]

perfect yeah ill just keep the schematic the same after that

diode doesnt really affect too much

[random gyro]

I was gonna say enable tpm first

[zinc widget]

We EEposting?

[crude forge]

Ok

[random gyro]

F7

[crude forge]

I go to advance mode and then where else do I go?

[swift moss]

Okay, send a pic of it

[zinc widget]

Hit F7 then send another pic

[crude forge]

Hey, if y’all can help me, I got a whole month of free nitro you can have

It came with my GPU

[random gyro]

Okay now, search nvme

[zinc widget]

Now try searching “erase”

[timber forge]

Is there a place where I can hire a professional to come and literally troubleshoot my pc irl

[zinc widget]

Yeah but it’s expensive

I think it was already enabled

What would that normally be

[zinc widget]

Try “erase” then

Ur looking for something called like “secure erase” it’ll reformat the drive and windows will play nicer with it

[zinc widget]

(I know it’s called secure erase on asrock)

[zinc widget]

Damn try “format”

[crude forge]

It didn’t have any results

[random gyro]

SSD?

Drive?

[azure topaz]

so

instead of formatting it in the windows setup.

we're formatting it in his bios and just telling him to search shit for 40 minutes

[random gyro]

He tried it

[azure topaz]

not the smart way

[azure topaz]

use diskpart

[random gyro]

Didn't work, just kept freezing

[azure topaz]

shift F10 opens a command prompt in the windows setup

[zinc widget]

Try tools

[azure topaz]

use this

then type diskpart

then type list disk

[random gyro]

I didn't think you could access diskpart in setup?

[azure topaz]

i think you can

[random gyro]

If u can, that's helpful. Thank you

[azure topaz]

seems like yes

[azure topaz]

go into the windows installer bro get outta there

secure erase will take ages

[crude forge]

Ok

[zinc widget]

THERE IT IS

[azure topaz]

it only took two days!

[random gyro]

LMAO

[zinc widget]

Asus secure erase will fix it

[zinc widget]

It takes like 5 minutes on an NVME drive

[azure topaz]

and about 8 seconds in diskpart

[random gyro]

I'm going to bed. Sorry I wasn't much help, hope it's all fixed @crude forge

[azure topaz]

add a bajillion gigs of write to your drive or just do it in diskpart like a normal G

[random gyro]

Good luck, goodnight guys

[zinc widget]

Yeah but he’s already there, and CMD is annoying if u r a noob

[crude forge]

What do I do?

[zinc widget]

Do the Asus secure erase tool and select ur NVME drive, once u did that go back to windows and it will work

[zinc widget]

Click that

[zinc widget]

512

[azure topaz]

man and its QLC

[zinc widget]

Yes

[zinc widget]

Ok now you will go into windows and it’ll be fixed

[crude forge]

Yyyyyyyy

[azure topaz]

love how it doesnt even tell you why

[zinc widget]

Ugh u gotta go into the bios and turn on secure boot

[azure topaz]

TPM enabled? secure boot on?

[zinc widget]

I know this one

[formal sonnet]

So when you choose to boot into the USB... are you picking the option with "UEFI" at the start of the drive name, or the option without "UEFI" at the front of the drive name?

[azure topaz]

surprising!

[zinc widget]

It’s always secure boot tpm is on by default now

[crude forge]

Walk me through the boys

[azure topaz]

okay sorry that was legally mean

[azure topaz]

do we even know what computer this guy has

[zinc widget]

No, I had to do this to my brother’s computer like two months ago. Exactly this troubleshooting.

[zinc widget]

Another guy made sure he already had it on

[azure topaz]

okay say that instead lol

[crude forge]

I’m back in bios

[zinc widget]

Go back into the bios

[zinc widget]

Look for something called secure boot

[formal sonnet]

ASUS has a support article covering all of this. 🙂 https://www.asus.com/ca-en/support/faq/1046970/

[azure topaz]

likely in the boot tab

[azure topaz]

🤯

its okay he only had to click in the bios for 20 minutes to format the drive, no time lost

(last jab)

[zinc widget]

I don’t need TS I did this once with someone else on a FaceTime call

[crude forge]

Call me then

I understand y’all way better when I can actually hear you

lol

[zinc widget]

Key management ur close

[random gyro]

Sorry guys I'm back. I've listed my R9 5900x, rtx 3080 pc for 850 and I've had 0 messages about it in 4 days. Surely the pricing is reasonable.

[azure topaz]

i mean its reasonable in the sense that someone couldnt feasibly build their own comptuer for cheaper with used parts

drop it down to 750

[azure topaz]

(ish)

[zinc widget]

Clear keys

[random gyro]

I can't cause then I won't have the money for a new pc

[azure topaz]

then keep waiting

[random gyro]

I'll be getting a r7 9700x + 5070ti

[azure topaz]

you wont be gettin JACK if it dont sell tho

[random gyro]

True

[crude forge]

That?

[zinc widget]

Yes

[zinc widget]

Install default keys

[little ridge]

^

[zinc widget]

Now go back

[crude forge]

Go out of bios

[zinc widget]

No just back a page

[crude forge]

Ok

[zinc widget]

What are the options for “secure boot state”

[crude forge]

It doesn’t let me choose. It’s just stuck at user.
