Go back another page

[formal sonnet]

When you boot into your USB, which one of these are you choosing?

[crude forge]

I haven’t used it

[zinc widget]

Ok just make sure to enable XMP while ur in there and u should be good to go

[azure topaz]

theoretically it automatically goes into the 2nd one

cause theres no OS on the first one

[crude forge]

XMP????

[zinc widget]

Hit F7 and go back to simple

[zinc widget]

Enable DOCP

Then save and exit and u should be good

[crude forge]

It says profile one

[zinc widget]

Yeah

[crude forge]

Should I put in the key when it asked me to?

Or should I say I don’t have it yet?

[formal sonnet]

You can always put it in later when you actually have Windows installed.

[zinc widget]

What key?

Oh windows

U can do that whenever

Doesn’t matter for install

[crude forge]

It gave me the same thing again

I hate it here remind me never to build another PC in the foreseeable future

[zinc widget]

Hmmmmmm.

What’s it say specifically

[zinc widget]

Lucky 4 u u ain’t gotta do it for a while now

[azure topaz]

what did he make the USB installer on

[spiral wagon]

How do you raise 1% lows in fps. I have an Alienware m16 r2 with a i7 ultra and a laptop 4070. I recently upgraded my ram to 64 gb of ddr5 I am running Fortnite on performance mode 1080p at 170 fps (0-3 1%low) i also am not running into any heat problems.

[zinc widget]

It’s probably cuz I got him to do default keys I think you actually don’t wanna have any keys

[crude forge]

So should I clear it

[zinc widget]

@crude forge send pic

[zinc widget]

I wanna see pic first, but…probably

[zinc widget]

Yeah clear them then go back a page

[crude forge]

Ok

What’s next?

[gilded harness]

so do i need B550 for ts

[crude forge]

Don’t give up on me plz

[zinc widget]

Send pic

[gilded harness]

i already enabled it in bios let me use it vro 💔 🥀

[clear canyon]

You need a newer amd gpu

What is ur gpu

[crude forge]

It did the same thing

[gilded harness]

yeah fuck that shiot

[clear canyon]

Whats ur gpu

[zinc widget]

Go back into bios and secure boot then send pic

[gilded harness]

vega 56

[clear canyon]

Yeah, way too old

[zinc widget]

It’s resizable bar with a different name

[gilded harness]

i know that i just didnt expected it to support RDNA 2+ only

[zinc widget]

Nice Space heater

[crude forge]

What’s next?

[clear canyon]

Yep

If resize is on, ur good

[zinc widget]

Let me look at it again

[formal sonnet]

How exactly are you selecting your boot device? Once again, are you choosing "PNY USB" or "UEFI PNY USB" from the boot menu? (Mash the F8 key when powering on the computer to access the boot menu.)

[zinc widget]

It doesn’t matter he’s got either a tpm or secure boot issue

[formal sonnet]

Incorrect. See ASUS Support article. https://www.asus.com/ca-en/support/faq/1046970/
The Windows 11 installer must also boot in UEFI mode to properly recognize if the hardware can support it.

[gilded harness]

i had a R9 295X2, that thing was way worse lmfao

[zinc widget]

I mean he can try it but it’s in boot order 2 anyway

[gilded harness]

i undervolted it a bit

havent repaste yet cuz my paste ran out

[formal sonnet]

You're right, it is, but I trust computer's about as far as I can throw them, and I don't play sports so... 🤣

[zinc widget]

@crude forge go back to the secure boot page

[crude forge]

Ok I’m here

[zinc widget]

Send another screenshot I wanna make sure it’s in the right mode

[zinc widget]

Needs to be Windows

Then do key management

@crude forge I found the problem

Did some googling

So ur gonna go into keys and install default keys

[crude forge]

I just did it

[zinc widget]

Now change custom to standard

[warm linden]

[crude forge]

Where do I change custom to standard?

[clear canyon]

What

[crude forge]

@zinc widget

[zinc widget]

Go back a page then send me screenshot

[tidal trail]

What are some white 120mm fans should I get for my aio?

[zinc widget]

Ok now make sure tpm is on

[azure topaz]

what are the options for OS type

[formal prism]

@crude forge also search CSM and disable that if it's enabled

[clear canyon]

Noctua 🤑 🤑

[zinc widget]

Asus has windows or other

(Windows is secure boot)

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/noctua-fan-noctuafan-gif-24134135

[azure topaz]

it still says unloaded so theres something conflicting with it

so yeah disable CSM

[crude forge]

TPM is on

[zinc widget]

Well that’s cuz he just deleted and regenerated new keys

[tidal trail]

Brown gross

[zinc widget]

Check the CSM

[azure topaz]

oh i didnt know he did that again

[zinc widget]

Yeah tried to see if that would fix it

[crude forge]

Does it need to be disabled or enabled?

Csm

[zinc widget]

Disabled

[crude forge]

It was enabled

[azure topaz]

lol

that will indeed conflict with secure boot

[zinc widget]

Well…there you go lol

[crude forge]

I’m gonna boot it up

[azure topaz]

inb4

[zinc widget]

WHY IS IT ENABLED BY DEFAULT

[crude forge]

I don’t know

[azure topaz]

if it still doesnt work try changing to other on OS type and reloading the keys if it gives you an option

it seems counter intuitive but sometimes asus is stupid

[zinc widget]

Other OS is secure boot off in Asus bios speak

For some dumbass reason Asus can’t just say “enabled” or “disabled”

[azure topaz]

rufus woulda made this easier lol

[formal prism]

"Platform Key (PK) state: unloaded" means secure boot will not work, but it might reload after a reboot

[crude forge]

Hell, yeah, we got it

[azure topaz]

hurray

[crude forge]

What do I pick now?

[azure topaz]

install it

[formal sonnet]

More importantly, why does manufacturer documentation suck? 🤣

[zinc widget]

Me and @azure topaz

[azure topaz]

thats the only one

[formal sonnet]

Eggsalad. Looking much better already.

[azure topaz]

click next

youre going to be clicking next a lot

[zinc widget]

Asrock would never. They do shitty software but A+ documentation

[azure topaz]

basically until it restarts automatically dont ask any questions and just click next

im putting thy windows sauce upon thy

[agile topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/pixelpro-pixelprophecy-programming-bsod-update-gif-5908433894633626331

[zinc widget]

@formal sonnet like look at this beautiful documentation

[tulip geyser]

Is Zotac's build quality good? I'm just going through their GPU line up and just see that they're mainly the low end to mid in terms of price.

[crude forge]

Yo, I appreciate you guys so much. I’ve been battling Windows 11 all morning.

[trim gyro]

they're ok

[crude forge]

Y’all are real ones

[tulip geyser]

Like will I expect lots of coil whine or some materials that they cheaped out on?

[trim gyro]

coil whine can happen on the best GPUs

for build quality, check if there are teardown reviews, or in-depth temperature recordings

[tulip geyser]

Can that be RMA'd

[trim gyro]

no

[tulip geyser]

Damn

So it's a gamble then?

[trim gyro]

not sure if that's something you'd call a gamble

[tulip geyser]

Aight mate I'll check out some tear downs. Just don't want to overspend on something and not cheap out too much rn

[trim gyro]

buy the cheapest for nvidia tbh

[tulip geyser]

(MSRP in Aus is dogshit rn, even with EOFY sale)

[trim gyro]

AIBs have low margins for Nvidia GPUs

[tulip geyser]

Like bro how is an rtx 5080 lowest cheapest model is 2k AUD

[trim gyro]

they can't afford to put it on sale

[formal sonnet]

Yup. nVidia is just a small indie company, ya know? /s

[tulip geyser]

I just want an upgrade a gpu for graduation and client work lol

I do get enough paid from client work but still have to use it responsibly

[trim gyro]

consider a 5070 ti

[tulip geyser]

Just if I commit to that then the new super or TI lines come out soon tho that's the issue about NVIDIA. If I pay for that now they'll release another model out soon

[quasi field]

Amd needs to have that 9090XT out before gta 6

[tulip geyser]

Thought amd won't be competing with high end anymore

[quasi field]

Leaks about the 9090XT in testing with 32gb of vram

There’s also leaked models of it…

[granite sundial]

why wont my gpu go higher than 2625mhz when i have the vf curve set to 2640 at 925mv

[quasi field]

Same issue here

[granite sundial]

4080s

[quasi field]

I have a 5090 and it won’t go to 3ghz only 2.7-2.8ish

Must be an NVIDIA thing

Probably power limited my guess

[granite sundial]

huh i dropped the vf curve to 2625 at 925mv and now its running at 2385 mhz

[quasi field]

I’m easily hitting 600watts at 2.8ghz

[quasi field]

Same thing here… it’s an NVIDIA thing

I swear

You have an FE model?

[granite sundial]

pro art oc

[quasi field]

Interesting

I honestly have no idea…

[granite sundial]

i seem to have gotten the worlds worst bin despite having one of the most expensive models

[quasi field]

I run mine at 3ghz 975mv

[granite sundial]

its not stable at +1500 mem

[quasi field]

Mine does +2000mem but it also makes sense

[quasi field]

Weird… normally they are able to do 2k mem… was able to do that with a 5070

[granite sundial]

like it'll run timespy but cyberpunk i get missing textures

[quasi field]

Interesting…

[granite sundial]

+1300 is usually free cuz the memory modules on the 4080 super are run underclocked

[quasi field]

Could be the model of gddr6X

[granite sundial]

i think the memory on the 4080 super is actually better than the 4090 iirc

[quasi field]

Can be… models have different gddr6X

Sometimes it’s a golden sample sometimes it’s Samsung…

[granite sundial]

but yeah main goal for me is reduce power consumption without losing performance

undervolt + oc should get me there

[dusk acorn]

Is this worth or nah?

[quasi field]

Nah… I’ve seen better… for ssd m.2. You not have a m.2 slot

[granite sundial]

gonna keep it at 925mv 2640 core +1300 mem for now

[quasi field]

Sounds good man :3

[dusk acorn]

This is Canadian dollars btw

Not usd

[quasi field]

I know it’s like 25 usd

[granite sundial]

needs more tweaking to find the stable spot between 1300 and 1500

[dusk acorn]

Can u provide a better deal by chance?

[quasi field]

For sure here…

[formal sonnet]

CUSU? Not a chance. Don't risk your money on cheap off-brand SSD's unless you know they're legit.

[quasi field]

Give me a sec

[dusk acorn]

Its actually that bad? Lol

[dusk acorn]

All good ty

[quasi field]

500mb/s max is kinda bad in 2025 ngl I don’t like sata

[formal sonnet]

If you must, tada. https://www.amazon.ca/Silicon-Power-A58-Performance-Internal/dp/B07LG1QZR8

[tulip geyser]

Have you tried undervolting it? If so how's the performance? Optimum's video shown there 50w less power draw, better temps and same performance as letting it suck 575w

[dusk acorn]

Any nvme for around that price?

[formal sonnet]

None I would waste money on. Acceptable 1TB NVMe drives start around $80 CAD.

[quasi field]

It’s at 975mv idk how in the world it hitting 600watts but it is

[quasi field]

I found 1… again 500gb… for about 30% more you could get a nvme ssd 1tb for 45-50usd

Smh embedded text
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mL2QPtZ

Why 70usd… what happened…

Weird

It was def a terabyte…

[dusk acorn]

This any good?

72 bucks

[quasi field]

Yes better than a sata

[trim gyro]

P3 Plus is a QLC SSD, which degrades much faster than TLC SSDs. it's okay for mass storage, but it's not good as a boot drive

[quasi field]

But for a system you’re gonna upgrade in like 5 years tho…

[dusk acorn]

How do i tell if its tlc or qlc

[crude forge]

Yo boys, my case fans are not spinning

[formal sonnet]

Unless I'm mistaken... P3 Plus and P310 are different drives. Little shady there, AliExpress.

[quasi field]

Also I think it’s fine for budget ballers just don’t keep anything sensitive on jt

[crude forge]

And they don’t show up in the bios

[trim gyro]

P310 is from Patriot, no? that's also not good

[quasi field]

I did a storage test and it was 1tb

[dusk acorn]

TG Mp33 or Patriot p320? Both are the same price

[quasi field]

Teamgroup 1tb is fine for 70usd but then your close to actually good ssds for like 75-80usd

Example

[trim gyro]

apparently crucial does have a p310 https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/crucial-p310-ssd-review

[dusk acorn]

Sorry im CAD not USD

[formal prism]

"sorry". that checks out

[trim gyro]

mp33

[quasi field]

https://a.co/d/cpKBNjL

56usd you won’t find anything cheaper rn

[quasi field]

Also I don’t trust that brand CUSU…

https://a.co/d/5SaXdGg here more gen 3 tho

[formal sonnet]

I mean, regardless of brand, you should always backup your data, but agreed - don't buy off brand SSDs.

[dusk acorn]

I bought a 2tb UD90 for my first build and now that ur saying that qlc is bad. Is the ud90 i bought bad then?

[quasi field]

Nooo… they are taking about cusu

[dusk acorn]

^^^

[unborn patio]

I own a p3

[quasi field]

Silicon power has actually been pretty decent

They make decent ram too…

[dusk acorn]

So the p3 plus for 83 dollars is better than the mp33 for 72 bucks?

Is the kingston nv3 any good?

[velvet kelp]

i get this error day at 06:27 gmt+2 every day, what is it and why do i get it?

[trim gyro]

afaik it is TLC, but it doesn't have cache or dram, so incoming write data are directly written onto the SSD, and may need to be shuffled around for optimal reads

[dusk acorn]

all i want to know is how durable it is since im using it as my boot drive

[trim gyro]

says 600 TBW for 1tb

[thorn cove]

Is 46*C on CPU idle temps good?

[trim gyro]

typical

is aigo ax psu shit or fine?

[trim gyro]

never heard of Aigo

try to see if a Montech APX is available for around the same price or cheaper

[wide comet]

Is 500mb ram good for my gaming pc?

[velvet kelp]

this is the imposter

[trim gyro]

Should be enough to run very basic games like solitaire. you'll need a very lightweight operating system though https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-weight_Linux_distribution

[formal sonnet]

Reason 647364 to stop using Adobe products.

[trim gyro]

good reminder for me to check if adobe is still running in my background

I think I killed most of them, but they're like cockroaches

[velvet kelp]

i mainly used photoshop, but i switched to affinity photo

[formal sonnet]

Same. Serif runs sales throughout the year, so I made the switch during their last big sale.

[velvet kelp]

although some features are weird sometimes, or different than photoshop, it feels better generally tbh

the most insane thing is the cancel fee though, i need to pay an early cancel fee of like 13 bucks atm, not a huge deal but yea

[potent sluice]

Help help help

I bought a 3rd party antwnna

IT NO SCREW IN

To my motherboard

U no. Wifi antenna

[formal sonnet]

So you bought an incompatible antenna? If so, return it and buy a compatible antenna.

[azure topaz]

ill bet you blew his mind

[potent sluice]

Why are there different types of fucking antenna

[formal prism]

I think they intentionally made wifi's connector an RP-SMA to stop people from screwing the far more common SMA antennas used in HAM, various handheld radios, and such

[formal sonnet]

Because there are different types of connectors for different form factors.

[thorny saddle]

wait til he finds out theres push-on ones now

[formal prism]

Putting those on a wifi card would be very fucky

[potent sluice]

That is some bitchtard shit

[potent sluice]

I'm on atx

[potent sluice]

Yeah this is my provlem

[formal sonnet]

Okay... ATX is a motheboard form factor? Very different from BNC or F-Connectors, aka Coax.

[random gyro]

well yeah when it doesnt fit that happens buddy!

[potent sluice]

My x870 Tomahawk came with push on ones but these are screw ones

[azure topaz]

so

[potent sluice]

Why on Earth is this so stupid

[azure topaz]

my man

you purchased the antenna

[potent sluice]

All right it's a wire at the end of the day tell me what the motherboard supports

[thorny saddle]

use a drill

[azure topaz]

the push on ones

[hollow creek]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-cute-animals-kitty-cat-gif-cat-meme-gif-9085090162300180398

[thorny saddle]

make it screw on

[potent sluice]

I have never used a PC with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth

Yeah what type of antenna is supported by the x870 tomahawk

[azure topaz]

you already know

you told US

[potent sluice]

No I fucking dony

[lone fractal]

Is it worth getting a new 9060xt over a used 6900xt or 6950xt?

[azure topaz]

https://www.amazon.com/Moving-Antenna-GAMING-DELUXE-Gaming/dp/B0DLKF36HC 😭

[potent sluice]

Push on ones is not a accurate description

I need a like model type like ATX or something

[azure topaz]

(does he even have them?)

those look normal. what freakin antennas did you buy

[frosty oriole]

Dang, only 3 3.0 A ports.

Ah, wait, there's also a 10G port.

[azure topaz]

oh apparently those are the push on ones idk

[plain cypress]

Evidence supports he is incapable

[azure topaz]

do you want to see my search history to know what i searched to find those

"push on antenna motherboard"

so yes. it is.

cause who the fuck actually knows what its called

[potent sluice]

https://a.co/d/16YTqDS

[tawny knoll]

yeah they just clipped on, they're proprietary because they can

[potent sluice]

This is what I'm after obviously I can just search on push on antenna my goal is to buy a adapter

[azure topaz]

i cant tell from that product photo if theyre the push on ones, people on reddit say they are, but look on your board and see if it has threads

[potent sluice]

I can guarantee you they are push on

[azure topaz]

why not spend 8$ on another antenna. i dont think adaptors are going to be more economical

[tawny knoll]

I have the X870e tomahawk it was really simple

[potent sluice]

I need a name

[azure topaz]

"wifi 7 antenna"

[tawny knoll]

BNC connector

[potent sluice]

FUCKING GIVE ME THE TYPE

[azure topaz]

evidence supports

[potent sluice]

Are you actually stupid Wi-Fi 6 even 7 are backwards compatible including under antenna type obviously that's not the thing I'm looking for I'm looking for the physical connector type

[tawny knoll]

Its a coaxial cable connector correct?

[potent sluice]

I think

[tawny knoll]

Idk it its BNC

ik thats what its called for TVs, i also have the motherboard and i just used the antenna that came in the box lol, and then i ran ethernet the next day

[thorny saddle]

this is a wild chat

[formal sonnet]

Unfortunately, it seems as though manufacturer's have decided to hide this connector type under the guise of marketing buzzwords. "EZ Plug" and "Push On WiFi" are just some of the garbage they're throwing around.

Looks like you can get adapters though. https://www.amazon.ca/Eightwood-Female-Qucik-Push-Adapter/dp/B0751BD9KQ

[azure topaz]

judging by that amazon page its called SMA

[elder quarry]

“Qucik” hahe

[tawny knoll]

Yeah that checks out

[azure topaz]

maybe but there is no info

[tawny knoll]

why cant bro use ethernet

[potent sluice]

Absolute idiot of course I use ethernet why do you think I didn't have a Wi-Fi motherboard for all these years

[azure topaz]

no dimensions online avaliable. its probably safer to just find a random antenna from a different wifi 7 board 😭

[tawny knoll]

maybe you shouldn't use wifi if it makes u so angry idk

[azure topaz]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/187349080158?

[potent sluice]

I'm not using Wi-Fi what makes you think I'm using Wi-Fi

[azure topaz]

why-fite?

[tawny knoll]

im

alrighty man good luck have fun

[plain cypress]

Y fy

[potent sluice]

Have you people never heard of something called Bluetooth

[tawny knoll]

nah i use cables and adapters

[azure topaz]

no mine are white

Guys please help I was playing over watch for like the first time in 8 months and changed the graphics setting cause I was dropping fps and when I changed it I got a black screen and it froze 30 minutes later I deleted overwatch and went on Val and my pc keeps freezing and black screening please help

[azure topaz]

My board is Asus is that fine?

[azure topaz]

yeah

[formal sonnet]

Same. Still rocking version 566.36 from December 2024 over here.

[tawny knoll]

I was running up to date nvidia drivers on my 1050 and it caused no issues other than a silly moment where my pc bootlooped for 20 minutes

[azure topaz]

there was a guy here where his computer would only work on the second attempt to boot

[tawny knoll]

thats incredible

[azure topaz]

pressed snooze on the alarm ass computer

[tawny knoll]

gotta charge those capacitors

Also im lost, why was that guy so angry because the wireless antenna that he bought didnt fit, did his motherboard not come with an antenna or something?

[azure topaz]

im guessin so

prebuilt or used board or threw away the box

(what kinda prebuilt doesnt include the wifi antenna)

[tawny knoll]

wild, msi support will give u an antenna for free

[azure topaz]

(this is true)

asrock pg monitors my beloved

[azure topaz]

did i really buy it

[gilded harness]

um u said oled monitor tomorrow something i thought you bought it or soemthihng

[wet scroll]

550 and no gsync 🥀 (no idea what gsync does)

[gilded harness]

it has freesync dw

[wet scroll]

So freesync works with amd and nvidia?

[gilded harness]

well no

[wet scroll]

Gpof to know

also @formal prism is it fine that my usb data isnt a perfect differential pair?

[azure topaz]

you just said words that some would argue arent real

yeah silly

[gilded harness]

HELP

2 DPs

one doesnt enable HDR but another one does

what is this monitor bro

[azure topaz]

cable or port?

thats normal lowkey

[gilded harness]

port

[formal prism]

What speed and how long of a trace?

[swift moss]

idk i think its a cp2104

let me send measurement

[outer cave]

i followed everything and i still freeze in game just no black screen anymore

[azure topaz]

specs?

[formal prism]

idk if keybinds are the same across platforms, so click the "route" menu item to see yours. kicad can do track measurements, differential routing, and length/skew tuning

[random gyro]

No because it's shit on windows bud

[swift moss]

i dont wanna reroute lmfao 😭 I had to use vias in the first case as well

[azure topaz]

hateful reply that was like 2 hours ago

[swift moss]

thats why I was asking is it really necessary

[formal prism]

length tuning is not rerouting

[swift moss]

4070, 13600k, 16gb ram b660-a

[azure topaz]

single stick of ram?

[outer cave]

8x2

[azure topaz]

DDR4?

[outer cave]

Yes

[azure topaz]

are you running out of ram in game?

[outer cave]

My build is like a year and a half old never faced issues

[outer cave]

Sometimes but it’s on very demanding fh5 or asc

[formal prism]

preferentially, but if you hit "8" (assuming same keybinds) it will do its best. Length tuning will also just display the current length on hover. You would click to begin tuning, then move mouse and use 1/2 and 3/4 to adjust tuning parameters

[outer cave]

I ordered ram tho

[azure topaz]

is that where it happens? or is it all the time

[swift moss]

sure

[outer cave]

Only in fh5 do I get warning but never lags idk what happens never lags or anything just warns me and Beamng* not asc I freeze but prolly cause high quality and vr

[azure topaz]

hmm. what game are you stuttering in?

[outer cave]

Never on Val tho

[outer cave]

Val currently

[azure topaz]

whats your task manager ram usage say

[outer cave]

It started when I changed quality on ow2

[azure topaz]

i think this is like kinda placebo'ing

[outer cave]

Lemme check my pc has freezes for 1 min

[outer cave]

What does placebo have to do with it

[azure topaz]

it wasnt when it you changed gpu settings youre just noticing it more now

unless its like. seriously freezing

[swift moss]

@formal prism

[outer cave]

It was when I changed

[azure topaz]

if so revert to an older driver. i think 566.36 is on 40 series and apparently its good

same DDU process but download the older one

[formal prism]

hover over with "8" on left vs hover over with "7" on right.

[outer cave]

When I changed my quality on ow2 I got black screen and ever since then I keep freezing even after deleting ow2

[formal prism]

as it says, you must select the end point of a trace.

[open jewel]

is this talking about the weather or my computer? clicking it isn't popping anything up

[azure topaz]

weather

[outer cave]

Yea it’s srsly freezing I’ve been frozen for the past 3 minutes

[swift moss]

i think 3.5mm is the cadence limit

[swift moss]

im clicking here

[outer cave]

Restated my pc and as soon as I opened it I got a blue screen

Wtf

[azure topaz]

what you get for playing overwatch

[outer cave]

Fr I don’t even play it like I said first time playing it cause someone told me let’s play

Last time lol

[formal prism]

skew maximum is frequency dependent, but honestly at 12Mbps it's hardly a concern. What you really need to ensure for correct operation is the 90 Ohm impedance match, since it's a transmission line going over a cable. You risk being/becoming an antenna with an impedance mismatch.

[azure topaz]

in val?

[outer cave]

without launching val

[swift moss]

i mean i can still try making them the same i just dont know where to click

[random gyro]

is it better to have zero RPM off?

[azure topaz]

no

[outer cave]

no

on discord

[random gyro]

why not? doesn't it reduce coil whine decibals?

[azure topaz]

no

[gilded harness]

hmmm

today im going to front mount AIO

[formal prism]

realistically, you just need to reroute it. Manual impedance matching without a consistent differential pair will be difficult

[swift moss]

yeah ill reroute it sure

[random gyro]

is it better to keep v-sync on or off (not one of those wannabe competitive children with a full rgb setup )

[azure topaz]

off

it adds input delay. use an alternative frame rate limiter if you want to cap your frames (RTSS+MSI afterburner)

[azure topaz]

coil whine happens when the card is under a heavy load, generally at crazy high fps (or if its kinda shitty ig)

[random gyro]

I was running rivals at 144 (with a 6750 XT) on medium settings

[azure topaz]

and its only cause of the current flowing through the coils in a specific way

y medium i feel like it can do more

[random gyro]

only reason I ran Rivals was due to users complaining about coil whine persistance

[azure topaz]

copil whine is simply how to do with the card

[random gyro]

Coil whine is more persistent during loading times or screens

[formal prism]

transmission line signal integrity and impedance matching is definitely one of the more challenging parts of PCB design. You need to use this calculator with your board stackup settings. It might be a good idea to find some lecture/video on this

[swift moss]

yeah ill do just that thanks

[quasi field]

For crap and giggles ran wild life and got 1,200fps

[gilded harness]

gpu ports of duality bro

one is brighter than another

[late path]

ah yes I too have a 4000$ 5090 but a 1080p monitor

[limpid flame]

samsung 990 pro 2tb for 150$ is a good deal right? wanted to get a 980 pro but i realized its like 30-40$ more expensive on amazon somehow

(no heatsink on either i believe)

[quasi field]

I’m getting an oled

[late path]

yay

[limpid flame]

[quasi field]

Also it’s a 380hz monitor

[late path]

Oh

[quasi field]

But I want an oled

[limpid flame]

fps player?

[quasi field]

It’s newer ips

[quasi field]

Yea

[limpid flame]

figures

[quasi field]

I’ve touched oled and i want one

[limpid flame]

couldnt think of any other reason why you’d stick with 1080 with a 5090

[late path]

when you get a OLED turn off all lights and turn your monitors brightness all the way up. Then on a black screen, just move your cursor. Bonus points if you have the previous monitor on the side for a side by side comparison

[quasi field]

I want a 4k oled 240hz… I just don’t wanna pay 2k for it

[quasi field]

I already do that :p

[late path]

yay

https://www.newegg.com/msi-mag-321upx-qd-oled-32-uhd-240-hz-metallic-black/p/N82E16824475358

[quasi field]

I have my tn panel still… from 2018 when 144hz was very popular

[azure topaz]

https://www.newegg.com/asrock-phantom-gaming-pgo32ufs-32-uhd-240hz-fhd-480hz-oled-black/p/N82E16824946005

[late path]

isn't tn that type where if you look at it at a wrong angle the colors fuck up

[quasi field]

Yep

[azure topaz]

the asrock one is even 480hz 1080p

[quasi field]

It has better response rate than my ips tho…

Weird… idk why

[late path]

Weird

[azure topaz]

thats normal

[quasi field]

I think I want an oled cause I’d combined better latency of the tn and the colors of the IPs… well way more colors than the ips

I’m waiting for Black Friday that’s when I got my 380hz monitor for like $199

[azure topaz]

i sent you an 850$ 4k 240hz oled and i got IGNORED

[quasi field]

Budget is $699 or less… also I’m gonna see if there’s any deals for this prime day

July something

[late path]

Is a 2k OLED 240hz supposed to be $500 on discount

[azure topaz]

theres an open box for 640 on newegg

[late path]

Context I'm indian not american

[azure topaz]

but newegg open box is generally not good so this is up to you

[quasi field]

I might suck it up and get 1440/2k monitor instead of 4k…

[azure topaz]

guaranteed to get your money back if things go wrong but

[quasi field]

I’m gonna try for 27inches …anymore I’d be hard to move

[azure topaz]

that proly wont hapen at a reasonable price

[quasi field]

They don’t really do 4k at 27inchs

[azure topaz]

they do theyre just expensive af

1200$

thats not dropping to 699 on prime day

(especially cause this is newegg)

[late path]

In my humble opinion 4k is overkill

1080p too dogshit

1440p/2k sweet spot

[quasi field]

Pro gamer stuff… yeah 1440p it is

[azure topaz]

then thats doable at ur current budget, michael would say to wait a couple months for the 4th generation woleds

[quasi field]

I started noticing the pixels with 1080p too… I feel bad for saying it

I do like 1080p… but from all my testing this 5090 can do 8k at 30fps

[late path]

8k??💔

[quasi field]

yes, imma run 8k port royal for you real quick

[late path]

I am realising I'm a brokie

this is what i just got bbroski

[quasi field]

8k monitor is wild pricing

[azure topaz]

its on a pretty good sale

[quasi field]

That looks nice ngl

$549 perfect price

[azure topaz]

i can tell you more tomorrow but idk when its going off sale

yesterday it said the sale was going away at 11pm

[quasi field]

Idk if it’s better to wait for prime day

[azure topaz]

me neither i personally think its a okay price

[quasi field]

Idk how good it is either

[azure topaz]

LG QDOLED somethin somethin panel

[quasi field]

Specs are cool and all… but it doesn’t tell me much

Could be the worlds worst oled like a AOC

[azure topaz]

naw its a decent panel

[quasi field]

$549 seems cheap tho

How old is it

[azure topaz]

1440p 240/360Hz qd-oled pros:
-pure color reproduction
-infinite viewing angle
-glossy screen coating is standard on all qd oleds, excluding the samsung monitors

1440p 240/360Hz qd-oled cons:
-lower brightness (250nits fullscreen, 400nits with a 10% window)
-panel loses contrast when room light hits the screen
-triangular subpixel layout causes chromatic aberration to appear on the edges of everything, especially text
-seemingly shorter lifespan, many users are seeing faint burn-in before the warranty expires
-some users claim to get eye fatigue from using qd-oled displays

1440p 280/540Hz gen 4 w-oled pros:
-higher brightness (335nits fullscreen, 900nits with a 10% window)
-panel retains contrast in all environments
-RGWB stripe subpixel layout has minimal issues
-seemingly longer lifespan, many users have 5 digit power-on-hours on w-oled displays without issues
-eye strain claims are rare

1440p 280/540Hz gen 4 w-oled cons:
-matte screen coatings are standard, with only a few exceptions made by Asus
-optimal viewing angle isn't infinite, but it is still far better than any LCD
-color reproduction isnt perfect, but it is still very good

this is what michael said to me

[azure topaz]

about a year

[quasi field]

Interesting

I just feel Black Friday will have some crazy sales as well as prime day…

Also Newegg has their own prime day

[azure topaz]

the QFS variant is the same but full samsung glossy panel

[quasi field]

I feel weird for saying this but I like glossy panels

[azure topaz]

a lotta people prefer

the QFV is an LG semi glossy panel

but 360hz

[quasi field]

I don’t like Mate makes colors more toned

[azure topaz]

sammy sang aint 360hz

[quasi field]

360 1440p 27in oled for $549 🤔

No g-sync ;-;

Nooooo

[azure topaz]

free sync supports nvidia gpu

[quasi field]

gay

[azure topaz]

what

[quasi field]

freesync sucks

[azure topaz]

unless its gsync premium its basically the same thing dude

[quasi field]

I remember having it

[quasi field]

My monitor has gsync premium

It’s awesome

it is 1080p…

But… you know

[azure topaz]

yeah it is but i dont think its a 699 and below feature at this spec range ykwim

maybe during saleysales

[quasi field]

Yea…

Idk $549 feels like a steal but also… I really don’t know there could be oled for cheaper but not at 360hz

[azure topaz]

really close

[azure topaz]

its actually basically the chaepest one worth buying

ii just bougtht mine 2 days ago and went thru this with real monitor nerds

[quasi field]

it’ll be a downgrade of 20hz tho lol

But that ms response time

[azure topaz]

actually broski idk if theres any gsync premium

so maybe just cop the 549 one 💀

the one i sent is gsync compatible

[latent pasture]

is it actually better

[azure topaz]

idk

[latent pasture]

how differently can you make vrr i thought its just vrr

[azure topaz]

gsync premium is fr different

[quasi field]

I wish it told you when it ended cause it’s 2am and I want to sleep

[azure topaz]

but the rest arent

[azure topaz]

purchase and forget

[quasi field]

It’ll be $599 after order…

[quasi field]

Yeah… I only have like 5k left tho

Still need like 3k for school

[azure topaz]

that is like the cheapest an oled is gonna get

[quasi field]

True…

But it’s also the same price as a freaking Nintendo switch 2

[winter lantern]

Bro acting like theres a noticeable difference

🥀

[quasi field]

im kidding

I actually like my TN more for shooting games

[winter lantern]

Like and TN in the same sentence 🥀

[quasi field]

Idk why… it does have that ultra high strobing back light

[winter lantern]

My mini led monitor it quite good
Too bad no games actually fully use the hz and resolution

🥀

[quasi field]

1440p at 360hz feels a bit over kill… idk if the 5090 can even do that?

It can barely do 4k at 120fps ngl

[trim gyro]

games that'll want high frame rate for gameplay will easily reach 360

[quasi field]

True

Not on all high and RTX tho

[vale wing]

paycheck on saturday

im gonna make a budget build

[azure topaz]

bro im buyin a 5070ti with it

i dont intend to get 360fps it doesnt super matter

[latent pasture]

whats the lowest hz oled monitor there is buyable now

[vale wing]

hi floppa

im thinking of doing a $300 budget build

[quasi field]

Yeah… I still have some… budget left over… Its just after spending so much on a gpu idk if I want to spend anymore on a monitor… 1440p oled probably looks nice tho

[quasi field]

Very possible

[vale wing]

i have a base template, i got a case, motherboard and gpu rn and a basic cpu in the case rn

and a very meh psu

[quasi field]

how meh the psu

[vale wing]

uhhhh from my schools tech office

not unlabeled though its like. some unknown brand

[sinful cobalt]

prob some 60hz portable

[vale wing]

60hz 1080p monitors are awesome

[quasi field]

Dang it’s a bummer no speaker in the monitor… does it have a speaker?

I honestly like to use my monitor as a mini movie set up

[azure topaz]

monitor speakers are ass and have never been good. buy the 15$ creative pebbles

theres even ones witha sub if you want

[quasi field]

How much do people normally spend on a oled?

Is this $50 worth the extra 120hz

[azure topaz]

that woled one isnt good its a bad panel

[latent pasture]

im p sure ur paying more of woled vs qdoled

[azure topaz]

(i told you bro i literally went thru this yesterday)

[latent pasture]

240 vs 360hz probably isnt noticeable

[azure topaz]

its a 1st gen woled is the problem

[quasi field]

So QD oled is good (I’m not messing I don’t know anything about monitors)

[azure topaz]

g4 is coming out in a couple months for perspective

in this instance its better but the gen 4 woleds are better

but not out yet

and have a couple months at least

[quasi field]

Is QD = quantum dot oled?

[azure topaz]

yea i think

[quasi field]

If so that’s wild

549 for quantum dot???

[azure topaz]

brody just purchase it

[quasi field]

That was like $1000+ last year

[azure topaz]

[quasi field]

Ahhhh… it looks so good and I know I’ll play GTA 6 on it

I’ve had my 380hz monitor for like 6 months too…

[azure topaz]

whelp trolled

[quasi field]

I’ll sell my 144hz for like $70-$80 if anyone wants it lol… might have to donate it

Bought it for like $399 back in the day

[azure topaz]

is it IPS?

[quasi field]

Tn

[azure topaz]

ill pass

[quasi field]

lol

I do have that 380hz but I think I might use it as a 2nd monitor

[winter lantern]

What if instead of tn it was ts

[winter lantern]

After 180 theres barely a difference

The mouse moves smoother thats it fr

[rigid fjord]

nope, a switching diode shouldn't be used for this, also why are you putting a diode between vbus and ground with the cc's being connected to it

[quasi field]

Ts?

[winter lantern]

Ts like ts pmo

[quasi field]

Your funny

I wouldn’t dis TN that much…

[warm linden]

[winter lantern]

Bro tryna sell for the price he bought it for 8 years ago

[warm linden]

Exactly

I was gonna offer him 100 lmao

[quasi field]

Pfff you can find a 3070-3080 for that price

[winter lantern]

You can find 8gb rx 580s for less than that 🥀

[rigid fjord]

i've seen worser tbh

[rigid fjord]

wouldn't touch a 3070

[winter lantern]

Worse than consoles = no reason to get 🥀

[azure topaz]

can you 3d print an aio mount bracket for a gpu?

[quasi field]

I bought it

I watched a bunch of reviews… no monitor has been seen at that price at that refresh rate

Ever…

[steel umbra]

i’d like to see cheaper 4k oleds

[junior valve]

something is missing

[bright pawn]

Which of these 2 motherboards are better

[junior valve]

msi

[winter lantern]

That one

[junior valve]

yea that one

[bright pawn]

Thanks

[steel umbra]

msi, both are junk the gigabyte is just more overpriced

[bright pawn]

🤑

[winged eagle]

Hi quick question if I build a new pc and use my old ssd will it just boot up the drive normally or do I need to format a drive and do a fresh install

[junior valve]

msi has a ssd cooler

and debug leds

[steel umbra]

yes the msi has slightly better vrms as well as far as i know

[bright flame]

hello guys and girls, got a question, im a FPS guy and i need a pair of cans: Fractal Scape or Steelseries Arctis Nova pro? Currently I use a ton of IEMS (Truthear Blue2 and Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite) and I miss the cans, I got a love and hate relationship with my HD660s2 tho.

[steel umbra]

no debug leds on the gigabyte? 💀

[junior valve]

my aorus z690 doesnt have them so i doubt a b760 would

[bright pawn]

Ok time to buy it ig

🤡

[steel umbra]

it doesn’t have any really? even simple led indicators

[junior valve]

yes lol

aorus btw

[steel umbra]

that is actually sad

[junior valve]

even my h110 msi has debug leds

[winter lantern]

Id rather not have debug leds so I can still have hope 🔥

Cope*

[steel umbra]

the leds are made from diamonds and netherite that’s why they’re not used, programming what the leds do requires wearing books attached to your neck and the chips are made from the finest german sand

[junior valve]

glad i traded this off

[winter lantern]

My mobo is so cool that it has cosmetic leds

[junior valve]

where

[steel umbra]

ah matx aorus boards

[swift moss]

Should I just remove the Schottky?

[winged eagle]

?

[junior valve]

no need

[winter lantern]

Idk where on a motherboard is ngl 🥀

[winged eagle]

Perfect thank

[junior valve]

i have 3 led nodes

[quasi field]

Same but like $899 vs $549

[winter lantern]

The leds look like shit tho 😔
It's the only rbg on my oc besides ram

[raven scroll]

yes

[winter lantern]

I also have no pic in the dark

[raven scroll]

i can assure u my cable managment is peak shit

[junior valve]

wheres the other fan for the cooler

[raven scroll]

as in bad shit

[granite sundial]

a lot of cheap matx boards have a pcie 1x slot at the top and the pcie 16x slot on the second position idk why

[junior valve]

wifi

[high elm]

taichi looks sick asf ngl

[raven scroll]

why the led there

[winter lantern]

I needed to off to take out the gpu

[granite sundial]

the board has inbuilt wifi though

[raven scroll]

arent they usually on top right

[junior valve]

what if its slow

[winter lantern]

Its built different

[raven scroll]

oih ok

[granite sundial]

its wifi 6

[drowsy sluice]

Hi are gaming routers worth it if im connected to it by ethernet?

[granite sundial]

no

[junior valve]

wifi card prob faster idk

[high elm]

gaming routers arent ever worth it imo

[raven scroll]

nah

ur just buying brand

[winter lantern]

I get my normal wifi speeds

[drowsy sluice]

But arent things like QoS acc good?

[high elm]

i doubt alot of people would be able to make full use of even wifi 6 though

[junior valve]

and also modern gpu blocks most of the under slots so they put it at the top

[late path]

guh

[junior valve]

its the feeling of being faster

[drowsy sluice]

What router would you recommend for 200 mbit down and up and 4ms

[winter lantern]

Games are NOT downloading at ts speed

They never go pass like 250

Still a fast download so idc

[junior valve]

y your ping so high

[drowsy sluice]

I want the lowest latency possible

[winter lantern]

Idk

It doesn't effect me tho

[silent cypress]

thats not high

[winter lantern]

Im using xfinity thats why 🔥

[junior valve]

38 is high

[silent cypress]

no

[winter lantern]

No its normal

[junior valve]

i have 4

[winter lantern]

Theres no noticeable difference

[silent cypress]

38 iz not high

[junior valve]

in roblox i can

[drowsy sluice]

38 is high for comp gaming but except that doesnt matter

[silent cypress]

ive experienced up to 300ms ping in games and the difference is not big

[high elm]

it is

[winter lantern]

I dont play those
And its not even high

[junior valve]

maybe bc your pc has a 400 ms delay

[drowsy sluice]

Then u dont play fast phaced games

[silent cypress]

in some games

cuz i play in wrong servers

[junior valve]

singapore

[silent cypress]

cuz its more fun to speak with ppl who dont speak ur language

[high elm]

dang bro caught me immediately

[drowsy sluice]

Its not high but its bad if you really wanna go pro in some games

[winter lantern]

Bros pc is plugged into the fiber optic cables under the ocean

[high elm]

icl fast internet is useless as shit to me i just have it cuz its cheap asf

[winter lantern]

What game is fast paced enough where ill notice a 30th of a second messing something up

[junior valve]

its for the giggles

[drowsy sluice]

Fortnite

[winter lantern]

Mine is like 200-400 and is 120$ a month

[high elm]

lmao yeah they dont even offer the 1gbps plan anymore lowest is 2.5gbps iirc

[winter lantern]

I play zero build so nah

[junior valve]

i paid like 50$ for a year

[drowsy sluice]

There is a big diff between 4 and 20+ ping

[winter lantern]

Crazy

[drowsy sluice]

Yea then u dont need it

[silent cypress]

i need ethernety

[winter lantern]

Building at max sensitivity 🥀

[high elm]

you are lowkey getting scammed

[silent cypress]

dang bro deletd

[vale wing]

OHHH my god

[winter lantern]

Xfinity just does that 🥀

[vale wing]

i hate this servers filters

[silent cypress]

external hard drive

[drowsy sluice]

Does someone acc know something more about routers?

[vale wing]

yes it was fucking up my boot

and making my pc hard to use at all

[winter lantern]

They relate to your internet

[silent cypress]

u need a soft drive

[vale wing]

i don't know i unplugged it and its working now

[junior valve]

skill issue tbh

[winter lantern]

Imagine being able to fix issues 🔥

Always remember if theres an issue its probably the gpu

[drowsy sluice]

Ik that i study IT but i dont know mutch about average routers vs gaming routers with features like QoS

[silent cypress]

thats how u get paranoid thinking ur gpu is broken

[winter lantern]

It usually will be

Why wouldn't the most expensive thing break

Its only logical

[silent cypress]

why would it break

[winter lantern]

Technology cringe sometimes

[silent cypress]

makes sense

[winter lantern]

Hehe rip 500$

🥀

[silent cypress]

gpus dont come that cheap these days

[high elm]

food also does not come cheap these days

[winter lantern]

Literally everything worse than a 5070 is that cheap

[silent cypress]

thats why we need to stop feeding homeless

[winter lantern]

So true

[boreal vine]

https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-specs/core-i9-14901ke.c3732

[steel umbra]

joke right?

[boreal vine]

interesting, i did not know these existed

[vale wing]

I thought I was going to have to spend $70 on a new ssd

[winter lantern]

No

[vale wing]

oh my godd im so happy

[steel umbra]

why not 14901kek

[silent cypress]

dont be happy

[boreal vine]

They're basically 14900k without e cores and boost higher

[silent cypress]

if i can't be happy, no one can

[winter lantern]

Imagine not having 4

[steel umbra]

what’s the price?

[silent cypress]

why is 14900k in every prebuilt

[boreal vine]

substancially cheaper apparently

[vale wing]

flexing fo no reason

[boreal vine]

200 for the 14901ke last time I checked

[solar moat]

all the bandwith sharing fomr chipset

[vale wing]

top of the line flagship cpu

[steel umbra]

they’re not on purpose using low quality components or pcb for the gpu so it can break faster

[silent cypress]

even for gaming pc prebuilts

[winter lantern]

Because its the best Intel cpu and some prebuilts have contracts with them or something

[silent cypress]

its like they default to that

[steel umbra]

that’s an intel i9 14th gen $200 troll here for you

[high elm]

theyre being sold boxed?

[boreal vine]

because intel has contracts with alot of them

[silent cypress]

thart makes more sense

[vale wing]

how do we feel about 4 core 8 thread processors

[quasi field]

I don’t thing you have enough Samsung drives

[vale wing]

like somewhat modernish ones

[boreal vine]

they're embedded CPUs, not meant for end user market

[boreal vine]

[high elm]

[vale wing]

ryzen 7 5700x + rx 6600 + 1tb ssd + 650w psu = $850 in 2023
