tech-chat-1

[river harbor]

I hope its a good deal 😔

[gleaming rose]

not bad

[river harbor]

just worried about the restarting issue

[quartz totem]

yes thats a great deal imo

[river harbor]

man it could've been better but ebay said nope

they have 10% discount on gift cards so my greedy ass was gonna buy 4 200usd giftcards and use that

but apparently you need to be in the us to claim them

[shadow nest]

Wherever you install windows will become c drive 😛

[gleaming rose]

try reinstalling the OS. It's probably not a huge deal.

[gleaming rose]

yeah ?

[frigid narwhal]

Yeah making backups rn

[river harbor]

maybe, also the 3080ti is an hp but

I cant really complain, it could've been a dell

[gleaming rose]

What do you mean? Dell has the best GPUs

[river harbor]

3080 ti dual fan

💔

its badly set up too, so maybe its just a bios update and its fixed

[shadow nest]

Well tbh you cant just install windows on partition with win installed already

[river harbor]

the ram is set at 2400mhz as seen on windows

[gleaming rose]

I would reset the CMOS too

[river harbor]

but theyre 3200mhz modules, so they didnt even bother with xmp

[weak relic]

Hello guys,
Pls i am trying to change to linux OS. For those are using linux which do you feel is best:

• Ubuntu
• Mint Cinnamon
• Arch
• Fedora
• Kali

[river harbor]

and pcie5 nvme on am4

[gleaming rose]

I mean, the installer lets you, so I don't see why not

[gleaming rose]

mint

[quartz totem]

ubuntu if youre new

[gleaming rose]

no

fuck no

[river harbor]

do I just sell the ram by the way

[quartz totem]

ive heard mint is good too

[river harbor]

is there any way I will ever use 128gb 😭😭

[quartz totem]

why?

[gleaming rose]

they keep trying to press their shitty flatpak knockoff + corporate Linux bullshit

[plain cypress]

Cinnamon desktop is meh but you can probably install kde or gnome

[quartz totem]

i mean i havent used it in years so idrk but i liked it back when i used linux on my raspberry pi

[shadow nest]

Because you will lose all windows settings, registry and user profiles. It will keep the files if you chose option but will rename old dirs to windows.old, users.old, programfiles.old etc

[gleaming rose]

install kids

[plain cypress]

Excuse you?

[quartz totem]

oh alr, ive heard mint is good i just havent tried it

[gleaming rose]

read your message

[plain cypress]

Samsung keyboard autocorrect piece of shit

[quartz totem]

lmao

[gleaming rose]

auto customer

[quartz totem]

i thought kids was an abbreviation for a linux flavor i hadnt heard abt

[shadow nest]

And settings n such like firewall, display, theme, handwriting, blah will have to be redone. You will keep registry should be but you wont be able to do anything other than read it. Id think carefully tbh. Reinstall os isnt 'not such big deal'

[gleaming rose]

If Microsoft wasn't such a lazy piece of shit company, maybe they'd take a page out of most Linux distributions books and just... update between major versions?

[shadow nest]

Definitely yes is the answer to should you back up. To external drive in fact

[gleaming rose]

Unfortunately, Windows hasn't changed much in many years. and won't change

[weak relic]

@gleaming rose @quartz totem I heard Fedora was also good for Software devs. I am a software Dev

[quartz totem]

yeah i have a friend who uses fedora as his main and he games a lot, mostly flight sims

[gleaming rose]

what kind of development do you do?

[quartz totem]

ive been thinking of installing linux on a seperate drive

[gleaming rose]

I'm a developer myself, can give some hints

[plain cypress]

Now discord is crashing on this phone

This is truly not my weekend

[shadow nest]

Wdym. Linux take a page from its book... as in create 999 entries in grub every kernel update lol

[weak relic]

Web Dev and AI/ML, tho still new there

[gleaming rose]

That is completely a you problem and I've never seen that in my entire life.

[shadow nest]

Why. What does fedora have so special about it? Best linux for dev shouldnt it be gentoo?

Literally packaging is source code and build config/scripts lol

[gleaming rose]

If you're using node or one of those related things Honestly, I don't know how well off you'd be with DBM because some of the packages can get pretty old however most of those JavaScript based frameworks have Specific installation instructions for Debian that skip the official repositories and allow you to get the latest versions

[gleaming rose]

Gentoo is not really what you think it is. At all

[slate bane]

yoo can i put a 360mm radiator under the gpu in a hyte y70 case

[shadow nest]

On other sht you gotta enable sources usually. When is the last time you downloaded any lib -dev lmfao

[gleaming rose]

This is a very Googleable question.

[slate bane]

i would prefer it coming from people live pls

[quartz totem]

put reverse fans there instead for intake, better for your gpu

[shadow nest]

I dont think. I built it and used many times. Youre right tho if you mean you think it's time to reboot and use linux finally... but it's not what you thought lol

[quartz totem]

mount your aio on top too its better for the pump

[slate bane]

ya but can i put radiotor or no

[plain cypress]

Did you go to hytes website or not

[gleaming rose]

I've also built and used Gentoo many times, and what I've learned is that that's not what it's for at all. The packages are to be built by you to allow maximum security and stability.

[weak relic]

So if you were just starting out and you are into that aspect of tech, which wil you go for?

[slate bane]

true but If i wanted to do multiple radiator custom loop can i put one under there

[gleaming rose]

I'd go with Debian, with a GNOME or KDE desktop

[quartz totem]

dont put your aio on the bottom

[slate bane]

or like if i got a water cooled gpu aio

[gleaming rose]

Gentoo is no better for development than any other distro.

[weak relic]

Are those also Linux Distros?

[shadow nest]

Honestly you dont wanna be a software dev on linux in the first place lmao. What are you programming? Everything tbh. A lot of GNU literally needs to vr finished

[gleaming rose]

???

[shadow nest]

Yeah i may have misspoken second thought. Its prob worse

[gleaming rose]

Gnome and KDE are both desktop environments. They provide you with a way to manage your windows and a software suite of tools that you can use, like, for example, a calculator and an app store.

[shadow nest]

All you need is any distro with build essentials at least and sources/dev packages for whatever youre using.

[gleaming rose]

@weak relic https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-12.11.0-amd64-kde.iso

[slate bane]

what if I get an hyte y70 case, aio for my cpu and a gpu wit a preinstalled liqiud cooler, where can I put it for good cooling and aesthetics

[gleaming rose]

It's definitely not worse. It really depends on what you're doing, but it can't possibly be worse

[slate bane]

both 360mm

[plain cypress]

Hute doesn't officially list bottom rad support

I didn't look very closely, but perhaps bottom rad would interfere with their vertical GPU mount? @slate bane

Hute*

[slate bane]

lol

[plain cypress]

Hyte

[gleaming rose]

There are definitely uses for the source-based package management.

[shadow nest]

KDE and XFCE are desktop envs. Gnome is a poop

[gleaming rose]

Some developers may want them, others may not. It's a case-by-case thing

[gleaming rose]

gnome is fine

[slate bane]

so hyte case doesn't support 2 rads

[gleaming rose]

The developers are a little strange, but it's a pretty nice experience overall

[weak relic]

What's this for?

[plain cypress]

Where do the bottom fans even go

[gleaming rose]

That's the ISO image for the KDE Live ISO. You can install it from there or give it a test run. Just flash it to a USB stick using Rufus if you're on Windows.

[shadow nest]

Im kidding ofc. Its preferential. Tbh gnome is kinda more classic looking like all those old amjga workbenches n macs

[jaunty apex]

why debian

[shadow nest]

The finder style.

[slate bane]

ive seen pics of fans under there

[gleaming rose]

Stable, and universally supported

[plain cypress]

Did you RTFM?

[jaunty apex]

Yeah but isnt that like.. KDE 5?

[gleaming rose]

probably

[shadow nest]

Exactly why. Just Ubuntu at that point if youre not sure. Debian has a diff release cycle and is separate

[gleaming rose]

never use ubuntu

[jaunty apex]

Ubuntu is worse

[plain cypress]

I see. That's why they technically don't support bottom rads
If you forewent the bottom panel and vertical GPU mount, I think you could do a bottom rad fine

But then why buy a Y70

[shadow nest]

But debian kinda less user friendly on the count of sbin not in path or some sht by default, etc

[shadow nest]

Why

[gleaming rose]

snap is one very good reason

[shadow nest]

Oh lol fair. You can uninstall it though

[gleaming rose]

If you're gonna use something like that, at least go fedora, because red hat is known to give back to the community a lot more than canonical is.

[jaunty apex]

Agree with Fedora

[gleaming rose]

Also, fedora is better

[slate bane]

bc it looks good as

[shadow nest]

You can use snap to uninstall itself tbh. The proper way to do iy

[jaunty apex]

OpenSuse has KDE Plasma 6

[gleaming rose]

It still leaves behind tracks.

[plain cypress]

Did you read the manufacturer specifications yet

[gleaming rose]

I wouldn't recommend OpenSuse honestly

[slate bane]

but I guess im gonna have to go witha lian li

[slate bane]

uhh no, where can I find

[shadow nest]

But some sht like disc maybe or firefox is officially moved from ubuntu repos and just dummy package, They switched to snap sadly

[plain cypress]

https://hyte.com/

[gleaming rose]

Exactly, they're trying to force their shitty flatpak knockoff onto all the users of Ubuntu

[plain cypress]

Where the fuck else would you find them

[shadow nest]

Debian though you probably are gonna end up adding ubuntu repos lmfao. Same thing. Same systemd. Same packaging idk.

[gleaming rose]

I don't know why you would. The debian packages are great.

Plus, generally, if you're installing something from a third-party source, it's supported. So, if you need more up-to-date packages, you can just go straight from their repositories.

[shadow nest]

Honestly apart from weird startup lag, idk. Maybe its better. Fucked thing is i usually end up installing flatpak too

[gleaming rose]

I have a sneaking suspicion that you are a low intelligence specimen

You give off original chatgpt vibes

[gleaming rose]

like first launch

[jaunty apex]

I am an idiot

[gleaming rose]

meh you're fine

[shadow nest]

I dont remember but i think proton vpn or something was a flatpak. Or maybe proton didnt even have proper working linux version (still) and i downloaded third party one lmfao

[jaunty apex]

I mean I did finally get wireguard working so that helps

[plain cypress]

Wireguard ❤️

[gleaming rose]

holy shit I spent the past like two days setting up a full disk encryption thing on my virtual private server and it works really well and it's really fast and it's really secure so I'm happy

[jaunty apex]

I only had to factory reset my router twice

[gleaming rose]

wireguard is great

[jaunty apex]

Got my adblock, jellyfin, all that :>

[plain cypress]

That person hasn't come back asking about y70 radiator support
Do we think I pissed them off, or they actually RTFM'd and answered their own question

[shadow nest]

You still end up installing like half of gnome too eventually. Then it auto downloads keyring which doesnt work so you find that its manually download a package or somn. Or some foxy manager or whatever and add an entry manually

Linux is stupid tbh.

[gleaming rose]

I don't know what kind of setup you're using, but I've literally never had any of the issues you're describing.

[gleaming rose]

Blame the userland, not the kernel.

[summer lantern]

Okay so I have a question not sure where to ask sorry

With my GPU it has 2 power slots for a 12v ATX 4+4

But my PSU only came with 2 and I need one for the CPU

Will it work with 1 for the time being or will I need to buy another cable for the GPU to work

[shadow nest]

You will eventually. Keep installing and find out. Have you gotten to the point of adding 3rd party repo for p7zip? 😛

[gleaming rose]

I've been using Linux for years

[plain cypress]

GPU....4+4
Oh no

[shadow nest]

p7zip legit only sane gui archiver to date i found. But it uses qt

But eventually i always get like two major versions of libqt installed parallel

[weak relic]

😔

[gleaming rose]

p7zip doesn't have a gui

are you talking about peazip?

[summer lantern]

Wait it’s a PCIe 6+2 I’m stupid

[plain cypress]

GPU uses ATX 6+2, not EPS 4+4

[hollow creek]

eh wasnt your psu suppose to come with 2 cpu and 2 pcie pins? they should be labeled

[gleaming rose]

Actually, they added one, didn't they?

[weak relic]

Maybe i will just stick to my windows

[plain cypress]

Agreed

[gleaming rose]

Ignore him. I'm not sure he knows what he's talking about.

[shadow nest]

And the qt config package is different for each one lol. To begin with, i only wanted xfce with just 3 version libgtk

[summer lantern]

Look im tired and it’s my first time building a PC by myself give me some slack

[hollow creek]

happens all the time

[gleaming rose]

Get some sleep and then come back to it. Be really bad if you messed up

[hollow creek]

https://tenor.com/view/gigabyte-psu-gamers-nexus-pc-bomb-planted-gif-22845602

[shadow nest]

Tbh the only true use out of linux for me i can think of is precisely dev for some things. That and server. It.

[gleaming rose]

I've been using it for desktop for at least two years

[plain cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/slack-gif-12072536

[shadow nest]

Ever registered bat file watchdog as service just to autostart something in background on win? Then its still half assed. Also cross compiling mingw is practical only on linux sorta.~~ So wsl is supposedly enough~~ Before that it was cygwin n sht

[sharp ivy]

just got my most expensive pc commission ever

[gleaming rose]

grats

[sharp ivy]

for a golf sim

[shadow nest]

Or that minsys or whatever. Either way you need gnu shell for gnu tool chain of som sort,

[sharp ivy]

Which doesn't sound too big budget, but the minimum gpu requirement is a GTX 1070 and the reccomended is a 3080ti 😭

[shadow nest]

Congrats but can you honestly say it's been a breeze

Also idk how you went two years w/o at least 2 libqts etc 😛

[gleaming rose]

yeah

minor hiccups but no major issues

I've distrohopped ofc

[shadow nest]

Heh there it is. How and what did you distro hop?

[gleaming rose]

between Debian, gentoo, arch and void

[shadow nest]

I remember mint even desktop flavor metapackages i couldnt change because dep loop

[gleaming rose]

mostly just getting bored of one distro and trying to switch to another

I always went back to arch tho

stable fast and fun

[shadow nest]

Gentoo i imagine you hopped off just as quick lmao

I just install xubuntu or somn and then xanmod kernel. Tbh xanmod counts as linux right?

[gleaming rose]

I mean the fun part is installing it

[shadow nest]

Made from Generic kernel. Systemd and apt im ok with. Snap is nice to have like disc or ff lol.

[north needle]

Someone help, which wire pairs are the correct ones they are differently colour coded

[gleaming rose]

using it is fine but I'm not the target audience and I have no need for the compilation

[north needle]

Connected green to green as its understood its earth

[gleaming rose]

fuck would we know nobody even knows what this is

[north needle]

Its a mouse cable

[frail delta]

No fuck slack

[shadow nest]

Also btw discord do they finally support xorg desktop capture w sound? I remember windows only you can share screen w audio loo

[gleaming rose]

You're going to have to look at the terminals on the mouse pcb to figure that oht

[plain cypress]

Lmao it's everyone's favorite

[gleaming rose]

it always supported X, supports Wayland now tho

[frail delta]

No give me teams

[gleaming rose]

the mouse's wire colors aren't standard

[north needle]

Was trying a janky solution cuz the usb port on one broke so i was trying to use a diff cable and elec tape it

[north needle]

Oh damn alr

[plain cypress]

I've used slack all of 5 minutes

[gleaming rose]

USB A is DP, DM, 5V, and GND

[plain cypress]

I love having to sign back in 12 times after waking my laptop from sleep

[north needle]

I found it thanks

[frail delta]

The only thing that I use slack for is reporting issues that never get solved

[plain cypress]

I love messages being shown as unread until I click on it and read it 3 times

[shadow nest]

Not w sound tho lol

[gleaming rose]

I'm talking about sound

See, I've been paying attention to this for a long time, specifically, and I would know.

[west mango]

just made my build, rx 6600 with a ryzen 5 9600x (had the rx 6600 for a while now, just got a bundle for the cpu) so fire

[frail delta]

Slack is so damn ugly

[plain cypress]

We can't all be msn messenger

[frail delta]

🤮

[gleaming rose]

It wants to be discord so bad lmaoo

[shadow nest]

Wasnt msn literally end to end but not encrypted? You could only send messages if the recipient was online lol

[last mural]

Dk if this is a stupid question but im looking to upgrade my ram, I have 16gb DDR4 2666MT/s and i found one that is 32gb but its a ecc rdimm server ram.

Would i be able to use this in my computer?

[shadow nest]

I remember this site called mess.be which had a mod for it (plus like adware) which got around at least seeing past convos by saving to text file lmfao

Anything on msn/live/microsoft network was shady. There was always a way to get other persons ip. Even on xbox live. Thats how the guy on youtube reverse looked up the kids numbers and called em with african warlord accent

Then a site i remember legit cached most skype users' last known ip so you could still look it up even after they fixed it (again)

[gleaming rose]

big deal

172.56.64.151
here's my ip

you can't get a phone number from an IP without contacting the company providing the service

[shadow nest]

Well supposedly it shouldnt have been visible idk. Skype not sure but as soon as microsoft touched it lol

[gleaming rose]

The only thing you can get from it is approximate location.

[shadow nest]

At least in states isnt there reverse lookup service by provider? Idk. Hopefully otherwise somehow their phone number was visible lol

[gleaming rose]

you can also dos/ddos which is annoying at worst

[gleaming rose]

hell no

[shadow nest]

How'd he call people in pub call of duty matches then lol

[gleaming rose]

nothing you see on the internet is real

[olive axle]

Chat i just got a netgear GS316P for 5 bucks

Works and everything, I feel like I robbed the man

[gleaming rose]

You should go to the police station and turn yourself in then.

[olive axle]

Lmao

[obsidian osprey]

are these temps high for idle?

i have an ak620

[hollow creek]

why is your idle power at 70 watts

[limpid ivy]

I really am getting flashbanged by slack lol

[frail delta]

It’s soooo ugly

People spent weeks designing something that ugly

Crazy

[hollow creek]

what most would consider "normal" 25-40watts idle power would be more reasonable
and your temps should be much lower

[obsidian osprey]

I have no clue, I haven’t done anything to my cpu except undervolt it 😭

[hollow creek]

this is after boot or after some steady time?

[obsidian osprey]

It’s after my pc had been on for ages

Actually it’s possible it was after I just restarted it because I was concerned

I can’t remember

[hollow creek]

interesting, try looking into task manager and see what the heck is running in the background.

also, if its after boot/restart, its completely normal

give it around 5 minutes to settle and check again

[obsidian osprey]

I checked already, nothing out of the ordinary was just discord and chrome

[hollow creek]

can you open hwinfo now and send another screenshot?

[obsidian osprey]

And my capture card software

I lowkey just got into bed 😭

[hollow creek]

eh just leave it be then

can check another time

[obsidian osprey]

Sorry bro, appreciate you though

[true stirrup]

Did you remove the plastic on the bottom of the cooler?

[white mica]

anybody know if I can connect a bluetooth nintendo switch controller to my computer?
it charges through a usb
so can i connect it through either usb or bluetooth?

[true stirrup]

Yes you can connect it via usb or Bluetooth

[white mica]

which one has less latency?

im assuming wired?

also when i connected it through bluetooth i couldnt tell if it was working or not

would i need to disconnect my mouse?

[true stirrup]

No it should just work

[true stirrup]

It's probably a negligible difference but probably wired

[river harbor]

can someone id this logo?

I can search the case myself but I have no clue what that logo is

[river harbor]

please*

i figured it out, kinda

is it just a cyberpower x inwin case?

inwin 101

[pseudo drum]

hello everyone i would like some suggestions regarding which config laptop i should get, i posted it on the tech support channel but if its ok ill repaste it here so you dont have to look for it. would that be alright?

[solar moat]

yes very cpu limited

[tribal estuary]

Sure

[solar moat]

for my work it is very cpu litmed at least

[terse wagon]

i saw a video where someone installs android on iphone

you can use either mac os or linux

[livid perch]

im building a new pc and my focus is mainly going to be programming, running multiple VMs, low-level programming and game dev with some light gaming (modded minecraft, factorio, astroneer). i have a pretty good budget but im in turkey so it wont make sense to give a number, what are some good GPU-CPU combos i can go for?

[obsidian urchin]

If im upgrading on am4 its best idea to go for like 5700x3d or something right?

[fast marsh]

Looking to get a new laptop. looking at either a 4070 or 4060, but I am leaning toward the 4060 as the price is significantly lower. Is the extent of the 4070 performance actually worth the extra cost?

[real trellis]

guys is it worth it to Enable XMP profile for my system. My CPU temp increases by 5 degree C.
my build is:
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M DS3H AC wifi
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (1x8GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800) C18 (16GB total)

[fast marsh]

Yes

RAM speed is quite slow

Squeeze it for all you can.

[tranquil thicket]

2667, I win

[real trellis]

not after i enable XMP

[fast marsh]

That is what XMP gives you, 1 MHz

[real trellis]

my XMP gives 3600Mhz

[real trellis]

the thing is when i looked into it my CPU doesn't support my RAM oc

[tranquil thicket]

[real trellis]

it wasn't on the list

[fast marsh]

Then I think your question answers its self, nearly a 30% jump in perfomance for 5c CPU

increase

[real trellis]

how do i safely revert back? whenever i turn off XMP . my pc doesn't boot

[fast marsh]

Oh

Pull the bios battery

[real trellis]

is that the only way?

[tranquil thicket]

You open the case and pop it out

[fast marsh]

Its the only definite way

[real trellis]

ye ye ik

well

ig its time to keep XMP enabled

[livid fern]

U could jump pins

[livid fern]

Not really jedec Timings Are usually better than xmp timings

Which is a sad thing

[wide gust]

does anyone know how to fix this🙏

[fast marsh]

Eh, I would probably steer clear of that unless you knew what you were doing

[livid fern]

Well that yeah.

[trim gyro]

try enabling secure boot in BIOS

[livid fern]

I plugged my case reset Button to jbat1 pins so if i fuck up with my oc then its easier for me

[steel umbra]

Hoi hoi any new psu news

[livid fern]

Yes

[wide gust]

I did and it didnt work, the bios i was in was 2012 american aptio(idk I didnt remembered it) and it says that its still disabled

[livid fern]

Pp13m is very quiet. One of the best non fanless psus basically

Although 1000w is pushing the platform limits

[granite sundial]

gpus a bit wonky

also bros tryna pass off a 10400 + 2070 super for 1100 aud as a quicksell

facebook marketplace moment

[livid perch]

whats a good CPU-GPU combo for productivity (rendering, programming, game dev, vms) and light gaming (minecraft, astroneer)

[plush wren]

it MIGHT be sagging

😭😭

[livid fern]

Depends ideally on budget

[livid perch]

my budget is 50-60K TL which is around ~1500$

[jovial sluice]

Can anyone tell me if I should get 9070 (no xt) or 5070 for my build, I don't know what's better

[livid perch]

ty, this is the first place i got a reply in 😭

[sonic epoch]

how do i skip this??

[hoary tree]

My mother in her infinite "wisdom" disconnected the fiber cable from our router and just left it out in the elements with no cover or protection

That fiber is gonna need replacing.

Quick question what bootloader should I use?

[true stirrup]

yes

[grim pasture]

I like to have a good CPU because I have trauma with my GPU being bottlenecked by CPU

[true stirrup]

Grub or just your motherboards boot menu

[pearl herald]

it will probably look really good

[cosmic idol]

I might need a new psu 😔

[livid fern]

Why hm

[cosmic idol]

750w and I'm getting a 4090 in a couple days

[livid fern]

Wat 750w model 🙂

[cosmic idol]

gigabyte ud750gm

[lethal bay]

hopefully not one of the ones that blow up

[shut narwhal]

Can anyone help me with this error code 43 pls im willing to pay

[cosmic idol]

no luckily.... It should be fine as it's being paired with a pretty low power cpu

should

[plush wren]

ud-gm is fine

[winter swift]

I am broken

I just learned that the ipad cameras are not even centered 😭🙏

Look at ts

[cosmic idol]

will it be good with my 4090 ?

[plush wren]

prolly not

[cosmic idol]

well shit

[plush wren]

Bro can buy a 4090 but not a 850w psu

[cosmic idol]

I got a good deal on it okay 😭

[high elm]

850w psus are cheap compared to 4090’s

[plush wren]

Bro is not qualified for a 4090

[cosmic idol]

pairing it with a ryzen 5 5600

[plush wren]

how much did you pay for this 4090?

[high elm]

[cosmic idol]

you should hear from me within the next couple of days !

[livid fern]

Alrighty yeah switch that out. The transient response on it is not very good especially on 4090

[faint idol]

this is like the blower 3090 i got for 500$

AUD bbtw

[raven scroll]

Is it just me or are expo ram kits way harder to find online

It seems like every website except international ones like Amazon sell em

[cosmic idol]

😔

[main nexus]

I just built a new pc and used an ssd from my old pc but when I boot it up it says I need to change my pin but to do that I need wifi but I can’t use wifi

[plush wren]

Steal

[cosmic idol]

iirc it was peak gpu shortage too

[plush wren]

Bro got a 3090 for nearly how much I paid for my 6700xt

[faint idol]

i got a 6900xt cheap af to

[plush wren]

[faint idol]

diddent fit so i goot an inboox one for halff price

[plush wren]

i paid 488 aud for my 6700xt

it was the cheapest one too

[cosmic idol]

I'll be paying 900 aud for my 4090

[true stirrup]

it doesn't have to say it has expo for it to have expo

[cosmic idol]

lol

[plush wren]

i closed my pc case and 1 hour into a rust session i couldnt use expo on my kingston ram

[frigid narwhal]

Guys i am not sure if this is the right channel to ask this. I just upgraded my cpu and mobo. The system booting up but I don't see any display.

No bios screen either 😭

[true stirrup]

any debug lights on?

[plush wren]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1269931865528078410/1359338005940142150/caption.gif

[frigid narwhal]

There seems to be one light

Oh wait I just got another screen

It now suddenly booted up after multiple attempts????😭😭😭

[true stirrup]

It could be that it was ram training

[frigid narwhal]

Ill do this i guess. It's only registering 24 gigs out of 32

[spring latch]

among all AIs to have swearing allowed overall, claude is next.
ChatGPT and Claude.

[dawn cedar]

kickass ram kit tho

[frigid narwhal]

I reinsert ever ram stick and it works now.

But now, the pc does not shut down? The fans are on

[spring latch]

ay when I put more ram in my dads pc it had to do a bit of training

[dawn cedar]

AM5 has a long boot process due to ram training fyi

if that is what's happening

[true stirrup]

You removed a ram stick while the PC was on?

[spring latch]

i was scared it ouldnt work, but kaby lake takes a while for some reason

[frigid narwhal]

No no, I shut it down. And now the fans went off took a fat min wtf

[real trellis]

Yk what i did. I saved the default settings as a profile. And manually overclocked the ram to 3600Mhz. Now i am running OCCT test for memory

[dawn cedar]

interesting

So no EXPO / XMP used

just straight OC'ed to 3600mt?

[sour storm]

motherboard arrived

[dawn cedar]

what mobo did you get

[sour storm]

asus tuf b650 plus wifi

[dawn cedar]

very nice

[sour storm]

was on sale and came with goodies

was cheaper than msi

[elder quarry]

h

[dawn cedar]

got my RM1000e PSU for like 150€ lol

[true stirrup]

Nice
Also run Anta Extreme or PCBDestroyer in TestMem5

[sour storm]

got a new mouse mat from it and if i can file things correct maybe a key for doom the dark ages

[real trellis]

Yep. The thing is whenever i turn off XMP my pc doesn't boot

[dawn cedar]

wait wat

[elder quarry]

How do you turn XMP on later when it doesn’t boot

[real trellis]

Do i have to really run it for an hour?

[true stirrup]

At least an hour

[real trellis]

Yes

[elder quarry]

Preferably longer

[real trellis]

I removed CMOS and loaded default bios

[sour storm]

part of me wants the phanteks flux and the other one pop air

[elder quarry]

XMP is not enabled on factory bios

[real trellis]

Okaaay

[real trellis]

Yep

[solar moat]

i like 12 hour min of that + at least 3 hours of over test like Vt3

[sour storm]

Few more momths and i yave the cpu and gpu

[plush wren]

Uhh..

12 hours i will be bored...

[sour storm]

i am doing it exceptionally stupid and getting the parts monthly

[solar moat]

over night good

or dont you sleep

My fam will likely turn it off

🤣🤣

i cant help with that

technically i could order all of the parts and pay monthly but idk which is more risky

[real trellis]

I hope nothing goes wrong

[sour storm]

Antec*

[hollow sorrel]

I think I've decided on a 9060 xt, it should be able to play pretty much anything on high settings at at least 60fps right?

(obviously the 16gb version)

[plush wren]

zib zib

[sour storm]

would watercooling be too much for a ryzen 5 7600

[solar moat]

its overkill for 88W

[sour storm]

would be funny tho

[solar moat]

and why not take the saving on air cooler and get 7600x

[sour storm]

im not planning on ovrclocking...i think

[mental mural]

what would be the best?

7500f for £100 on ali
7700 for £150 on ali
9600x for £180 on amazon

[sour storm]

give 100 pounds to a scam give 150 pounds to a scam or give 180 pounds to a scam

gimme 125

[solar moat]

7700 sounds like best deal out of those

[junior valve]

stock fan broke

[solar moat]

https://tenor.com/vIlkQ7Bpvai.gif

[sour storm]

send it back to noctua

idk

[solar moat]

i think i got that gpu in my mother pc

[sour storm]

wait why the fuck is there a noctua fan on that gpu??

[solar moat]

why not

[cosmic idol]

elite tier

[gloomy sleet]

use a cpu cooler

the holes match up for am4 brackets and most gpus

[junior valve]

i think i have a spare nh d15

[gloomy sleet]

i was thinking a low profile cooler lmao

[junior valve]

like stock

[gloomy sleet]

am4 stock cooler fits on most nvidia gpus i’ve tried

[cosmic idol]

what are you on and can I have some

[lethal bay]

cursed knowledge ngl

like I wanna go home and try now

[cosmic idol]

fr

should go murder my strix 970

[lethal bay]

Exactly like I have a blower 1080 that I’m willing to sacrifice

[cosmic idol]

my 970 posts but when it gets put under load it dies. prime candidate for some tomfoolery honestly

i actually want to get that card working... like so i can use it in a system without it shitting itself

[sleek ibex]

[lethal bay]

sick

[cosmic idol]

time to lap the 970

[lethal bay]

I wonder if my 1080 has an I2C header

probably not cause it’s a low end card but lol

[cosmic idol]

blower cards are such prime candidates for cheap second hand purchase then waterblocking 🥶

or just a heater if you need one

[lethal bay]

or a noise machine

[cosmic idol]

white noise asmr

[gloomy sleet]

aripiprozole but that isn’t relevant

[cosmic idol]

fire

[gloomy sleet]

am4 stock cooler has been fine on the 4 nvidia gpus i’ve tried

actually except the 960 i tried once

[cosmic idol]

any pics?
I wanna see this shit

[gloomy sleet]

that didn’t work for some reason

[cosmic idol]

😔

[gloomy sleet]

i didn’t take any pics i just thought it’d be funny to put it on there

i’m not actually using a 1060 6gb with a fucking wraith stealth cooler on it lmao

that gpu doesn’t even work iirc

[gilded harness]

mmmm should i front mount my aio or stick wtih top mount

[raven scroll]

Well most of they say intel xmp compatible

And I double check to see if they’re also expo compatible

[craggy skiff]

Hello

I need help

If my phone lags, but i have 0 viruses?

[late path]

What phone do you have

[craggy skiff]

Samsung 💀

[late path]

Yeah but which one

The model..

[craggy skiff]

A series

[craggy skiff]

A23 5g

[true stirrup]

it still probably has the EXPO profile

[cosmic idol]

I want a new phone too bruh

iphone 12 battery is not great

[late path]

It's a 2 year old midrange did you think it would last more than that if you don't care for it properly?

[upper abyss]

my realme 8 still goin strong 😭

[late path]

Don't install random apk's, and follow general knowledge when it comes to caring for your phone

[upper abyss]

2yo low end phone or sum

[craggy skiff]

I take good care of it but it's nub af

[late path]

Bro I used a low-end phone for 5 years and cared for it and let it die peacefully

it all depends on what you think "slow" is, obviously it won't be the fastest thing when you compare it to other things, and you can never expect a midrange to deliver flagship performance

[upper abyss]

i honestly just want a new one because of the battery atp and replacing it on what was a 200€ phone 2-3 years ago really isnt worth it to me

[late path]

Whoever does expect flagship performance is kinda..eh

[late path]

then get a new one :3

[craggy skiff]

What is a good samsung phone?

[upper abyss]

ima get the realme 10, another low end phone thats gonna hold for like 3 years 😈

[late path]

devious

[upper abyss]

why you so hellbent on samsung?

[craggy skiff]

Cuz galaxy watch 7

[upper abyss]

ahh

[late path]

the latest flagship probably, unless you want a gimmick like it being foldable

[upper abyss]

yh he didnt say budget lol

[craggy skiff]

It's hella expensive

[late path]

Andrei where are you from

[craggy skiff]

🇪🇺

[late path]

You have the rich tag so are you larping as a rich guy while trying to find the best budget phone

[upper abyss]

whys life so expensive, its cursed

[late path]

blame the billionaires :3

[upper abyss]

you cooked him 😔

[craggy skiff]

I just like the tag :<<<<

[late path]

and the companies

[late path]

Alright sooo what's your budget if you need help buying a new samsung phone

[craggy skiff]

Idk the budget

[upper abyss]

yeah like bruh im barely done with school and im workin part time,
how am i supposed to afford pc parts, drivers license, a cheap phone and other moderate luxuries 😔

[hollow grail]

some thoughts on the rtx 3050?

[late path]

get the s25 ultra or the newest foldable then xd

[late path]

Rx 6600 is the way to go

[hollow grail]

8gb

[upper abyss]

if you dont tell us what youre willing to spend its impossible to help you

[craggy skiff]

Ok ok the budget is around 300-400 bucks i guess

[hollow grail]

team green

[late path]

400 euro?

[upper abyss]

whats the rest of the build / did you buy the rest already / why nvidia?

[craggy skiff]

Dollars

[late path]

ah

[upper abyss]

im getting nvidia aswell but at least i have valid reasoning, this guy is 100% some child that wants 200fps in fortnite

[late path]

What are you looking for in a samsung phone the gaming the photography or Just a normal user

[hollow grail]

nothing/no/idk

[late path]

that's offensive to the fortnite players..and children.

[craggy skiff]

I play bs and other games...

[upper abyss]

1. whats your budget
2. where are you located
3. dont go nvidia most of the time unless youre using it for productivity

also listen to luci and make a post

[late path]

soo light gaming? Bs isn't that hard to run iirc

[late path]

make a post in build help

#1106613567966429224 @hollow grail

[eager topaz]

Yo guys did anyone know windows 11 finally surpassed 10 in market share

[craggy skiff]

I play bs, roblox, stumble guys(long time no play it but i would), and YouTube

[hollow grail]

im not building anything. im just asking how "good" rtx 3050 is

[glacial tulip]

Shut up boy

[late path]

fuck I'm indian and geolocations redirecting me to indian sites so I can't find a phone but in general you should be good with most of them, just ask before buying

[late path]

Oh

[craggy skiff]

Ask wat?

[upper abyss]

if you want to play modern games, its only viable at 1080p medium or low id imagine for more demanding games, its a low end gpu

[craggy skiff]

And ask who?

[livid fern]

Basically a 1660 super=3050

[upper abyss]

is the street food really poisonous? 😔

[late path]

you should be okay with finding a phone yourself but before buying send a link or the model and ask if it's good, I'd find you one but it keeps redirecting me to the indian versions and not letting me see the European options

[upper abyss]

sadly the 1660s is probably better at raster 😭

[craggy skiff]

Oh:<

[late path]

you just have to know where to eat and where not to. The influencers just go feed the stereotype by going to the worst of the worst. I do agree india needs to step up it's hygiene but it just turns to a harmful stereotype

[upper abyss]

kinda insane that these people are still in business (id imagine locals wouldnt buy from them, so how tf do they even get their income)

[livid fern]

On average 3050 is like 5-7% better
Which is yk not very good

[late path]

the 1660 super takes more power if I remember correctly and the 3050 is more power efficient. (Note IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, not sure if it actually does)

[upper abyss]

sounds right to me kinda

[late path]

no one buys from them beside the aforementioned influencers

[craggy skiff]

Bro my phone lags to it bruh

It's not light gaming :((

😭

[livid fern]

Yeah i dont use this one. Some are wrongly put there

[upper abyss]

is it due to resolution or why are they different?

[upper abyss]

also where do i get like a chart with everything

[livid fern]

Like with basically every gpu?
Techpowerup review is one which has basically alot
Toms one is slightly inaccurate but fine to use. Just keep a review open to compare it

[upper abyss]

huh i thought toms is the most accurate

also i still dont get why mines different than yours 😭

[late path]

Yeah i dunno what to say beside the phone market being fucked and samsung ripping off people on the regular. Is galaxy watch compatibility that bad with other phones and is it that urgent to upgrade right now or can you wait and save up until you're able to buy a beefier phone? Lmk :3
Hell, I'll try out brawl stars on my phone (crappy $120 phone) for a benchmark.

[upper abyss]

cant find this on techpowerup 😔

[late path]

lemme know about those questions till then I'll do my "research" on bs

[livid fern]

Its Under a msi gaming x 3050 review

[upper abyss]

my cheap ahh phone can run it, really not demanding 😭

[livid fern]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/msi-geforce-rtx-3050-gaming-x/31.html

[craggy skiff]

Holy god are you samsung?

[late path]

yeah idk how his snapdragon 695 can't run it that's why I said light gaming originally

[late path]

what?

[craggy skiff]

Your response was kind of like samsung would respond

[upper abyss]

whys the data different? weird

[late path]

@upper abyss i have a question as a beginner with pc stuff can you really make the nvidia ray tracing good argument when comparing a 3050 and a 6600 when they're both 1080p budget cards and ray tracing is out the question for the most part?

[late path]

ok...

[upper abyss]

not really imo, RT in itself really is not that great especially on low end cards

only feature id say is relevant here is DLSS (if youre willing to use it at 1080p) because its miles ahead of fsr3

BUT then again id rather have the 20-30% raw performance of a rx6600 (idk if those numbers are correct)

[craggy skiff]

Idk whats the compability with other phones.
I kind of wanna change it cuz it's lagging so much

[upper abyss]

like if youre that desperate for low raytraced settings in cyberpunk and wanna play at 30fps or sum go ahead 😭

[late path]

Wait I'm playing bs for research

[upper abyss]

aight :o

[late path]

yeah so erm this is NOT hard to run if your phone with all background apps closed and it running at its peak not being able to run this..yeah samsung scammed you

xD

[late path]

Soo in conclusion you shouldn't buy a 3050 unless it's cheaper than the 6600 and just buy a 6600 instead :3

[livid fern]

I forgot. It has been little over a year when i had to explain it

[upper abyss]

yeah unless youre willing to use dlss in every game at 1080p its a pretty bad idea, even then it just looks worse (for the same frames)

[upper abyss]

saed

[late path]

@craggy skiff can you reply to ts I asked you a few questions:

• is galaxy watch compatibility really that bad with non Samsung phones
• do you have to upgrade urgently or can you wait until you're able to save up for a beefier phone
• • if you wanna upgrade urgently instead of saving up, go find a few phones you like of Samsung's and let us know before buying so we can help you make the right choice

[craggy skiff]

I did reply. ^^

@late path

[late path]

Ah mb

[craggy skiff]

xd

[late path]

Alr so go find a few samsung phones you like that are in your budget and let us know before you buy so we can help you make the right choice

[craggy skiff]

Does a56 work?

[late path]

I'd find you the best one but if I go to the European version of the site it redirects me to the Indian version showing me the india exclusive phones so

[late path]

Lemme check the specs gimme a sec

It gets annoying when the same phone has different specs in different parts of the world eg. Smaller battery, less ram etc.

[upper abyss]

you dont have VPN?

[craggy skiff]

😦

[late path]

These are nice specs, let me look up the gaming™ side of things :3

[craggy skiff]

Okie :p

[late path]

What games are you planning to play? :3

[steel umbra]

why samsung a

[craggy skiff]

Uhhhh, bs, roblox, stumble guys, hcr

[steel umbra]

i would advise agaisnt buying samsung a series unless you like their bloaty os/software

[craggy skiff]

Idk

[late path]

What's hcr

[craggy skiff]

Hill climbing race

[late path]

Samsung fanboys need their bloat 🤑

[real trellis]

good?

[craggy skiff]

Im not samsung fanboy:<

[late path]

:3 sure

[steel umbra]

check like oppo, vivo, xiaomi/poco stuff

[craggy skiff]

I like apple too

But too expensive

[upper abyss]

60iq

[late path]

Can't find a gaming test man this is getting annoying

[craggy skiff]

I like nothing too

[steel umbra]

they offrer better internals at budget

[craggy skiff]

😭

[late path]

wait I'll be back in a bit to help you out

[craggy skiff]

Okie

[steel umbra]

.

@craggy skiff

[craggy skiff]

Why?

They all ass

[unreal geode]

guys should i buy a kingston nv3 as a 2nd nvme ssd or should i buy a different ssd

[upper abyss]

50iq, dropped by 10

[steel umbra]

i double down to 25

[craggy skiff]

:/

[upper abyss]

"its not a brand that uses half their phone cost to advertise so it must be bad"

[steel umbra]

i think nv3 is qlc/tlc nand lottery + more lottery

[craggy skiff]

Bro their os are awful

[steel umbra]

i would buy something else

or nv3 is just qlc?

[upper abyss]

did you ever use one of these in the last 2 years?

[steel umbra]

forgot which controller it uses

[craggy skiff]

No

[upper abyss]

here you go, think then talk

[sleek ibex]

[unreal geode]

I also found a wd blue ssd but i never heard of that name (maybe im living under a rock)

[craggy skiff]

Do you think i didn't saw vids of their os?

[steel umbra]

sn580 and sn5000 are much more stable options get those over nv3 100%

[hollow sorrel]

Is fsr good?

[steel umbra]

nv series is the kingston’s most budget low range ssds, they just put whatever to comply with the spec they provide

[upper abyss]

then buy apple and overpay for the OS, or go to samsung since the OS looks so nice and get bloatware so your phone cant even run simple mobile games such as brawlstars lnao

[hollow sorrel]

Like is fsr good enough to go for a 9060 xt over a 7800 xt

[craggy skiff]

There's no bloatwares in my phone

[steel umbra]

which one

[craggy skiff]

a23 5g

[steel umbra]

basicly all phone makers include bloat in their phones

[hollow sorrel]

Also is it safe to put something on my GPU? Like a Lego minifig or a funko pop

[unreal geode]

I can only find SA510

I did find a sn580 but thats a seconde chance product (used by someone and then returned)

[steel umbra]

yes that is the other half of more plagued phones with bloatware

“i got no bloatware”

or did you debloat it

[upper abyss]

bro, you cant run brawlstars despite having a good enough proccessor

what else would be the reason when my phone thats 3yo and was 200€ can run it better despite being some cheap chinese phone

[hollow sorrel]

Like is something like this a bad idea

[craggy skiff]

Which phone u have?

[upper abyss]

realme 8, i got it like right when it released

[kindred halo]

Is a 3060 Ti or 3060 12gb more worth it

[craggy skiff]

Never heard of realme 8

I heard of realme

[steel umbra]

oof

honestly i dunno which nvme to recommend

[craggy skiff]

What even is a bloatware

[upper abyss]

as said, its an insanely cheap Phone but the OS doesnt slow it down to the point i cant even use it anymore like with the a-series especially on samsung

[steel umbra]

quite few mp series have been swapped

so mp44l 👎

[steel umbra]

unwanted software that takes your space and resources

[craggy skiff]

Ur just a realme fanboy

[unreal geode]

I could go for a more expensive ssd 💔 (cough cough samsung)

[craggy skiff]

Oh

[unreal geode]

I found a WD SN770

It has amazingly good reviews?

And it kinda looks like a higher end ssd

[upper abyss]

i really dont care if i get a realme, poco, xiaomi or whatever

arent you the person desperate for a samsung phone after getting one thats insanely bad? seems like youre unable to learn from your mistakes lol

[steel umbra]

i wouldn’t buy cheaper samsung drives like 980 or 970 evo unless they’re well cheap

[steel umbra]

yes that one is fine

as far as i know

if it has been swapped too i will shoot my foot

[unreal geode]

Uh
Ive been running a samsung 970 evo for 4-5 years now

[steel umbra]

it had some fw issues tho so that’s the only thing i know

[steel umbra]

it’s fine, just not good value

(unless you got it cheep)

[craggy skiff]

And no it's not "insanely bad" it just has some moments of lag

And it does run bs

[unreal geode]

Also does high write and read ssd matter

[craggy skiff]

But it sometimes has lag in it

[unreal geode]

Whats the difference with

1 fast ssd + 1 slower ssd

1 fast sdd + another 1 fast ssd

Will i notice anything different?

[steel umbra]

it depends on the application

[steel umbra]

1 fast 1 sata/slower is fine

[unreal geode]

Give some examples

[steel umbra]

large file transfer

[upper abyss]

the issue you dont understand at the core is this:
your phone has the hardware to be better than mine im pretty sure, but bloatware and a shitty non optimized OS stops it from doing so

yet youre willingly spending more money into the same company that spends tons on just advertising it instead of getting a cheaper phone thats better

i can see a 150-200€ phone thats miles better (realme 10) which is sad, my friend swapped from an iphone 12 max or sum and says its infinitely better 😭

[unreal geode]

Like only video editing?

Or is gaming also considerd that

[late path]

I'm back

[upper abyss]

greetings

[late path]

A Nvme SSD is 15x faster than a Sata.

[steel umbra]

for gaming it barely matters unless you’re running an hdd which can cause issues for some games like major stutters and game loading for 3 minutes instead of 1
for video editing also sata ssd is totally fine

[craggy skiff]

But can ur realme run roblox?

[unreal geode]

Im getting a 2nd nvme

[late path]

iirc sata's are 550 Mbps and nvme's 5.5 gbps (key word iirc, might be wrong!!!!!)

[upper abyss]

yes bro 😭 i tried like 2 years ago but its an easy game to run like cmon

roblox games differ in difficulty to run

[steel umbra]

nvmes are cheaper anyway than sata so

[unreal geode]

So it does not matter which nvme ssd i choose aslong as its reliable

[late path]

but in general easy to run game

[unreal geode]

Also whats the point of sata if its more expensive

[steel umbra]

yes… that’s the issue

[craggy skiff]

It can run genshin?

[unreal geode]

Is it made for “portablebility”

[upper abyss]

never tried

[steel umbra]

it’s older standard and also sata, not all pcs especially old office ones have an nvme slot

[craggy skiff]

It has an assistant?

[late path]

AmA anything about tech for a unverified sometimes verified answer

[unreal geode]

Issue?

[steel umbra]

it’s hard to find cheap reliable nvme

[late path]

Bruh, M.2 is the format, not sata/nvme.

[upper abyss]

the default google on prolly i dont use that stuff

[late path]

the little stick type SSD (M.2) can either be sata or a nvme

[craggy skiff]

Mhm

[unreal geode]

Ok whats the little more expensive 100% reliable ssd

[steel umbra]

manufacturers swap parts around like controllers, nand, then fw issues (can be also due to the component swappage)
just like with psus you see manufacturers swapping internals around

[craggy skiff]

@upper abyss what abt the camera?

[solar moat]

got to love some one asking for image of my screen to see how bad it bleads light so i send them this image of a black screen

[steel umbra]

i would look up reviews i’m not updated on recent mid-high end nvmes

[steel umbra]

?

sata ssd
m.2 / nvme ssd

[upper abyss]

on the realme 8 its not great, also not horrible though

this is a picture example
the realme 10 is obviously gonna be better

[late path]

You said nvme slot... The slots a m.2 and it can either be used for a sata or nvme not just nvme. I think you meant a m.2 slot

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/komaru-cat-shock-huh-speechless-gif-27375522

[late path]

KITTYY

[steel umbra]

i meant that not all pcs have an m.2/nvme slot
that’s why sata can be relevant sometimes

[late path]

Can I guess where this photos taken from

[craggy skiff]

It's a disgrace if i say that it's a better photo than my phone? :sob

[late path]

Yea agree, not all pcs have a m2 slot but you don't wanna use a hdd so sata is a middle ground.

[craggy skiff]

Oh it also has oled:skull

[upper abyss]

yuh

[late path]

Rainbolt from temu: netherlands?

[upper abyss]

it is netherlands, ion live there though

[late path]

Limburg?

[upper abyss]

i THINK no

its near roermond

[craggy skiff]

Realme has oled?

[late path]

I see. Back to tech

[upper abyss]

ion know, mine doesnt pretty sure but theres gonna be ones that have oled

also i think realme10 has 120hz Display

[plush wren]

Just buy a camera

[late path]

Someone remind me: objectively as of now AMD has the best gaming CPUs right? And that am5 is the best socket since they plan to keep updating it with new CPUs for a long time like they keep having new am4 CPUs to this day?

[honest rose]

what is causing this input problem which I apeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeece

[craggy skiff]

Mine has 120hz too but i dont see a dif from 60 to 120

[plush wren]

what exactly is happening

[late path]

I'm in your CPU doing that

[plush wren]

also just try restarting your pc.

[upper abyss]

i think amd did have the best gaming cpus yeah

[honest rose]

its is a reocurring problemmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[late path]

ddddddouuuuuuuubbbblleeeee typpppinnngggg likkkewww thisss i thinnkk

[honest rose]

yes

[late path]

go in windows settings and reset your keyboard settings and if you have a program for your keyboard like the kb manufacturers software, reset to default that too

i swear I remember this happening and how to fix it but I can't remember the fix.

[plush wren]

restart your pc bro

easiest fix

[honest rose]

my mouse also looses all velocity every few seconds

[late path]

Bro he said it's a recurring problem

[upper abyss]

in general system navigating it should be more smooth, in games you may not see a difference because you dont get enough fps tho

if you dont see a difference js turn it off to save battery

[plush wren]

Buy a new keyboard

is it a wireless keyboard btw

[honest rose]

no

[late path]

I'm pretty sure this is a software bug/setting and not a physical problem with kb

[plush wren]

what about mouse

[honest rose]

ive owned both for months and theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep roblem is new

[plush wren]

Quick solutions

[craggy skiff]

Oh

[late path]

oh yeah chat i actually need help regarding a topic: how can I optimize my crappy phone to run fortnite mobile at good frame/is it even possible

[upper abyss]

btw i just checked, the a23 can barely run genshin or did i see wrong?

[late path]

A23 can barely run anything bro

Samsung is a shit company icl

[craggy skiff]

Idk i never tried but i don't think it can even download it

[upper abyss]

as to what i see in videos the realme 10 at least gives you like 30fps stable, the a23 is a stutter festival

[craggy skiff]

A23 runs it in -10000000 fps

[plush wren]

playing fortnite on phone sounds like torture

[late path]

It is. Broken display, unstable fps capped at 30 FPS on lowest settings...but I still win

[upper abyss]

do keep in mind its a under 200€ phone, if you even spend 100€ more id imagine you get a pretty good camera and more performance aswell

[late path]

I'm lowkey goated :3 beside the fact

[craggy skiff]

Why euro tho?

[rigid fjord]

playing fortnite on phone sounds like is torture

fixed it for you

[upper abyss]

because im using that currency

[late path]

ragebait!!!

preposterous!!!!!

[upper abyss]

sup dude

[late path]

burn him!!!!!!!!!

[rigid fjord]

sup

[craggy skiff]

With 300-400$?

Wat can get me?

[late path]

lmk!!! my phone is the lava Storm 5G :3

[late path]

(yes it's abysmal dogshit of a phone💔)

[craggy skiff]

It's prob better than mine

[gloomy sleet]

what

[late path]

💔 we're in ts together

[craggy skiff]

💔

[gloomy sleet]

also this keyboard feels so weird now

the right side of it isnt secured in with screws so it has A LOT of flex

[honest rose]

I've identified the problem as being AIDA 64 for some reason

[gloomy sleet]

the left side has no flex

[honest rose]

no more phantom input when I ended the task

[gloomy sleet]

fair

[rigid fjord]

either liquid going across switch pins if it's mechanical, or a problem with your settings

[honest rose]

naw its aida 64

[gloomy sleet]

somehow fixed

half of my issues with computers get fixed after just closing the most random program ever

[rigid fjord]

the otherhalf is the user creating them

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[rigid fjord]

remove the user, computer gets no problems

[upper abyss]

there are LIKELY better phones but i used realme so i can only recommend it

realme 14pro seems to be in that price range for me but idk if thats the best phone you could get

[craggy skiff]

And if i dont want a realme?

[rigid fjord]

why not an older iphone model ?

like an iphone 10/11

[cosmic idol]

you can get far better value with used android

[rigid fjord]

eh....

[craggy skiff]

The performance

[upper abyss]

then others can recommend you a phone

as said theres better phones out there but im not gonna recommend a brand i havent tried

[fringe prairie]

like a used 13 maybe 13 pro
an s23 refurbished probably

[cosmic idol]

I'd take an s23 haha

iphones are actually not bad, but I wouldn't buy one if I'm on a budget

[craggy skiff]

Refurbished?

[upper abyss]

know someone who swapped from a 12 max or something like that to a realme 10 and preferred the android aside from the OS

[cosmic idol]

i have a 12 right now (I didn't have to pay for it) and it's actually pretty alright

though the glass back cover thing is cancer

[fringe prairie]

https://ebay.us/m/kke3JM

redmagic phones may be cheap idk

[craggy skiff]

I don't want a refurbished one 💔

[fringe prairie]

good luck trying to find something powerful for $400 new

[upper abyss]

beggars cant be choosers tho

[upper abyss]

depends on what counts as powerful

[cosmic idol]

refurbished flagships are GOATED.

[craggy skiff]

Brehhhh

[cosmic idol]

I had an s20 plus and it was so good.

most of my mates have an s22 ultra and it's also really good.

[craggy skiff]

Does iphone 1 refurbished work?

[late path]

Yeah redmagic is cheap and powerful but good luck getting more than a few years of updates to os and security

[cosmic idol]

you can try lmao

[craggy skiff]

Would it run gta 5?

Or bs?

(No i dont play gta it was just a curiosity of mine)

[upper abyss]

where did you ever see gta 5 mobile bro

[craggy skiff]

Idk, but I've seen

[tired bear]

3g and 2g network has mostly been shut down...

[harsh vector]

sound output changes when pluggin in a controller. How do I make it that it'll always use my main earphones even after plugging in new devices?

[craggy skiff]

Well i guess iPhone 1 is not a choice 🥀

[tired bear]

iphone 5 and up

[mental mural]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/sWXzdb

would it be possible to sell this for around £120 in UK ? added up all the used parts and give a 10% discount

[south arrow]

I got an s23+ for 360 rn sounds right

[south arrow]

Seems legit

[south arrow]

Never hurts to try

[steel umbra]

great value

[fringe prairie]

some shit through winulator

[upper abyss]

yh but who does that 😭 js get a ps3 atp

can a ps3 run it?

[rigid fjord]

tbf i'm using an iphone se 2nd gen, it's been really good for itself, and got it cheap, i wouldn't bother getting a new iphone at any time

[upper abyss]

as long as it runs well theres no reason to, only reason i might swap is the battery, my phone is so cheap anyways its not worth changing the battery to me

[gentle kestrel]

why would the ps3 not run a ps3 game

[patent plank]

Hello folks, may I ask what the difference is between MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI and the E version, if anyone would know?

[gentle kestrel]

more lanes from chipset, more power draw because of it

[patent plank]

thank you very much good person

[rigid fjord]

region locks

[upper abyss]

wasnt sure if it was on ps3

i think its interesting how many mods and stuff you can do to improve gpu performance

like the 9070 to 9070xt flash or something

[rigid fjord]

it's the same board, just one using gen 5 pcie slot and gen 5 m.2 slot, really don't get an 'X' sku amd board if your getting an X3d cpu, you run the risk of killing the cpu, better off with a b650/b850 instead

[gentle kestrel]

huh

[patent plank]

" 'X' sku amd board" ? 🤔

[rigid fjord]

x670,x670e,x870,x870e, all 'X' sku amd boards

[gentle kestrel]

where are you hearing that the chipsets are killing cpus

when x870 is almost if not identical silicon as b650e

i know asrock had higher failures but the x870 tomahawk is one of the most popular boards this gen

[fringe prairie]

yeah

[rigid fjord]

you must of slept through the 7800x3d's dying on x670's last year and 9800x3d's being killed on x870's early this year

[gentle kestrel]

you mean when amd held back b series boards for those chip launches?

[rigid fjord]

nope, this was after that, happened on multiple x670 boards for gigabyte, asus and asrock when it came to the 7800x3d, as for the 9800x3d primarily it was the asrock x870 i believe

[gentle kestrel]

if there was actually any form of mass failures on a certain chipset you’d see a recall or reddit flinging shit like they did at intel

asrock was a known issue on basically all of their lines and they’ve been getting it already

[rigid fjord]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ASRock/comments/1iui7lx/9800x3d_failuresdeaths_megathread/

[gentle kestrel]

yeah that isn’t chipset specific, that’s the oem fucking up

[rigid fjord]

out of 108 cases so far

[gentle kestrel]

that’s anything but conclusive

every single am5 board uses the same promontory 21, the e boards use 2 (less b650e)

[rigid fjord]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ASRock/comments/1i5iy9a/update_and_summary_on_the_dead_9800x3ds/ chart with batch numbers with which died

[gentle kestrel]

yeah we know asrock makes bad boards

[patent plank]

Not going asrock I g

[gentle kestrel]

there was already about 45 videos on it

take your pick

[rigid fjord]

for the asrock ones, severall of the posts it's bad baches of the cpu instead as a cpu from rma's worked on the boards

[gentle kestrel]

https://youtu.be/qY0kEB-1MIc?si=0fssAX8OO7lyHKtp

you could say msi has the highest failure rate from people installing the chip sideways though

[rigid fjord]

if i was new to this discord years back i'd have asked how, as common sense tells me they're marked in a way to go in one way only, but i've witnessed someone in this chat actively install a 10400f into an lga1200 socket back to front

quite literally killed the 10400f and lenovo mobo

[jaunty apex]

Not only that but literally slips in between keyed notches

[rigid fjord]

even intel have their's slightly notched dude

[jaunty apex]

My doubts on this being an accidental fuck-up are high

[rigid fjord]

i've not let the person forget about the fact they killed a cpu and mobo

[south arrow]

Awww man copilot cost money now on Microsoft 365 via android uninstalls sighsss

Maybe I had the wrong apk

[rigid fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoLs_1TP29A re-enactment of what the guy did by another member of this discord

[south arrow]

OK I had the wrong app whewww

[obsidian urchin]

Oh wow 5700x3d seems to have gone up in price since I last saw it

[cosmic idol]

I have a 5600 now and have a new gpu on the way and idk if it’s worth staying on am4 or doing a platform upgrade

[sonic plover]

Heya looking to build a new computer, I have a pc already and like not being able to see the parts (heresy) are there any cases with similar looks but with good circulation.
Here is pic of current case for ref

[latent pasture]

circulation=holes=you can see

[rigid fjord]

you can do alot still with the 5600, so not really

[cosmic idol]

Yeah but it’s gonna kneecap a 4090 a fair chunk

[rigid fjord]

nope

[sonic plover]

Yes but this case is good and has good circulation

[cosmic idol]

Oh ?

Actually if I’m being realistic, at 1440p for the games I play I’d probably be fine

[rigid fjord]

if you're doing 4k, it's all on the 4090 no matter what, it's only when it's 1080p/1440p where the cpu is affecting it some

[cosmic idol]

Yeah I’m gonna be at 1440p

Or even 1080 for a bit there

[rigid fjord]

and even at 1440p you'll not notice a 5 fps difference
