Like what? I mostly game

Have a work laptop which costs double of this whole build😂

[gilded harness]

No not the ryujin 240mm bro 😭

and its the old one also

[echo token]

Is it bad? It's on sale for 100$ here

[gilded harness]

its bad yes

[echo token]

Okay ill get another one

[gilded harness]

theres way way more better for cheaper

[echo token]

Example?

[gilded harness]

Arctic Liquid Freezer 3 pro

or anything in this

[proven shoal]

Then stick with the 9800x3d lol

[echo token]

Nice, it's 110$ from another shop

[proven shoal]

Good to know 3 of the aios I had are great

Nvm Actually only 2 of the 3

And the one that isn't there is the one I have 😭

[gilded harness]

hmmm what can i do to fix this

[proven shoal]

Rma xd

Is that a Lian Li?

[gilded harness]

i cant rma it

[echo token]

Now i need to find a Nice tower, i kinda like the fractal north with the wood mesh

[gilded harness]

i think im able to fix it

[sweet zephyr]

Just replace it it's not that hard tbh

[echo token]

Anyone have the lian li a3 case?

When it States it supportsider 360mm radiator? Does that mean the cpu cooler fan mount?

[gilded harness]

.

ok now how do i find this fitting

[tidal geyser]

can you even replace that

it can even do a 9950X3D with PBO

[gilded harness]

who knows lol

might be able to hot glue it IDK

[tidal geyser]

hot glue it 😐

[tidal geyser]

you do understand what is in there

[gilded harness]

yeah i dont

just kidding

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-the-frog-kermit-kermit-meme-kermit-water-kermit-waterfall-gif-24226895

[gilded harness]

but idk if it worth to fix this shitass aio

[tidal geyser]

wanna know the trick to never having to think of this ever again is

NJOONONONON MY EYE

[terse sparrow]

Worst film ever

[tidal geyser]

what does it do

what is the point of a AIO

[gilded harness]

because i cant sell it bro

[tidal geyser]

too bad there is a reason people say to not buy a AIO

[echo token]

Okay okay, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YGkpLc

[gilded harness]

and i bought it for god damn $100 for poop quality

[tidal geyser]

so RMA it

[gilded harness]

well i have peerless assassin but what do i care i want aesthetic now

[echo token]

Tall think this is decent? Case should fit i think since radiator is mounted i the top?

Fkkk it only fits 240 in the top, and 360 front....

[sour storm]

Part of me 2ants to go overkill and watercool the pc but i know that is a bad idea

So i wont

[terse sparrow]

I find AIOs really hit and miss lol.

Luckily my current one has been fine up to now

[sour storm]

I just wanan k ow if i can slap the mew fractal control hub into the antec flux

I want the new fans......bthey look do cool imo

[placid crystal]

can you guys help me please? i still cant get my pc to work, it keeps on freezing up and restarting, sometimes giving me a blue screen but i cant get past the setup after installing windows 11

[sour storm]

Ok queation. Why are you installing windows 11

[placid crystal]

i was told to by others

[sour storm]

Imma save you some time. Dont

It's a mess

[placid crystal]

so stick with windows 10?

[sour storm]

Personally i'd say it's better. As a win 11 user i despise the bloat it has

Changing to linux

[placid crystal]

if i stick with windows 10 does it matter if im at tpm 2.0?

[sour storm]

No idea. Im just telling ya to not get win11 from my own experience

[placid crystal]

is there a way you could help me with my bios??

helping me choose what not and what to do?

[sour storm]

Not really an wxpert on that ....others might be able to

[placid crystal]

if i were to try to install windows 10 rn would it work theoretically?

[sour storm]

I can look it up?

Im confused about the sitiation

[terse sparrow]

#1027757333117415424 would be a better place :)

[sour storm]

Yea

[terse sparrow]

It's less likely to get buried there

[kindred halo]

The guy who listed this is definitely a heavy smoker

Although I could use the tar buildup to get the price down to like ~50ish

Just needs some iso and a brush

[terse sparrow]

[sour storm]

And the guy probably a dovtor

[kindred halo]

Whar?

[kindred halo]

It's very ew yes, but can be cleaned

[sour storm]

The amount og smoking

Lung cancer

[kindred halo]

Will run some benchmarks through a USB first ofc

[sour storm]

Doctor

[kindred halo]

Probably a professor

A chemistry professor, to be exact

I wonder what he does in his free time

[frail delta]

Probably smokes

[kindred halo]

Other than smoking

I heard he knocks and cooks

[echo token]

Is a OC 5070ti better than a normal one? Is it more capable of OCing?

[river harbor]

no its the same silicon

they just come with like a 3% factory overclock

they might have better cooling but most just slap oc there as marketing

[echo token]

Hmmm, so i might aswell save 50$ on a non oc one?

[river harbor]

sure, if you like the design

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-5070-ti.c4243

here u can see all the different variants and their clock speeds

[echo token]

Sweet ty

This is the cheapest one i can get

[gilded harness]

Why did i even try

now i need distilled water

[upper abyss]

im thinking rn, do i pick the 5070 ti asus prime (cooler, quieter, better for OC prolly) or the one gamerock one with rgb which looks infinitely better

[hoary tree]

Is 2x16GB of ddr5 6000 CL36 a good deal at $117?

[gilded harness]

its fine

[tidal geyser]

just RMA the AIO

its not worth losing like 1k+ worth of parts since you did not want to go a few weeks without a AIO when you already have one of the best air coolers

[true stirrup]

Just get what looks better to you

[broken shore]

Will there be a significant issue with me mismatching a pcie3 mobo with a pcie5 gpu?

[tidal geyser]

no

just update the bios and make sure rebar is on

[broken shore]

👍 thanks

[sour storm]

isa ryzen 5 9600x an improvement over 7600

and if so, how big

the 9600x is like.....8 euro more expensive

oooh

ok scratch that not worth it

[tidal geyser]

wat

for 8$ its a ez upgrade

[sour storm]

hmm

oh also

did change soem things

[tidal geyser]

7600 xt is trash¨'

just get a 9060 xt 16GB

[sour storm]

i dont want nvidia.

oh wait

[tidal geyser]

ok?

[sour storm]

sorry name tripped me up

i get that upgradin makes more sense power wise

i wonder how much bigger it is comapred to 7600xt though

cause i do wanna have the gpu have some length

so it doesn't look so empty

[warm hearth]

Quick question, if im running multiple instances on roblox what cpu would help with boosting the numbers from 20-40 instances+ at 40-60 fps

Ryzen 9 9950X
Ryzen Threadripper 2990WX

[tidal geyser]

waaaaat

[tidal geyser]

get a smaller case

[frail delta]

lol

[sour storm]

im trying to look for a case but none of em resonate that well

[warm hearth]

Im planning on running multiple instances on roblox fully afk, and trying to find the best cpu for that, as roblox is a cpu intensive game and both the ryzen 9950x and 2990wx are the same price

[terse sparrow]

Go open air and wall mount it

[sour storm]

dont wanna drill into the wall, don't know if land lord would like that

gotta wait until lbuildcores adds more cases so i can look closer

not opposed to the gpu upgrade ofcourse

[tidal geyser]

so you are ready to spend hundreds even thousands on a roblox game

a free roblox game

[sour storm]

ok i checked the length...roughly the same

[sour storm]

based

[warm hearth]

That ill make money back

[tidal geyser]

again free and roblox

[warm hearth]

that per acc i run i make $4 per day

[sour storm]

damn ooho apearently 40mm diffrence

[tidal geyser]

what, do you mine some shitty crypto and spend 10x that in power

[warm hearth]

i9-14900K or ryzen 9 9950x3d

what one is better for workstation and single core gaming

[tidal geyser]

one came out this year the other is like 3 years old well in terms of performance

[warm hearth]

Looking for the best cpu on the market for cpu intensive workloads, the i9 14900k is cheaper around £340 while the ryzen 9 9950x3d around £420

[tidal geyser]

just go for a 7800X3D

[tidal geyser]

a 9950X3D is 630

[warm hearth]

Different currencys bud

[tidal geyser]

wat?

aint that pounds?

[warm hearth]

yes

[tidal geyser]

then its not a different currency bud

[boreal vine]

nice LOL

[warm hearth]

Well check fb marketplace or ebay

you can get the ryzen 9 9950x 3d for around 400-450

[tidal geyser]

that has to be a scam

[warm hearth]

dude looks at amazon LOL

[tidal geyser]

well yea?

[warm hearth]

overpricedshit

lol

[tidal geyser]

you are looking at used products

most people prefer new

[warm hearth]

you think imma buy a 9950x new and payt a extra 200-300

when it will do the EXACT same thing for 200-300 less

[tidal geyser]

well i got no clue what the used price is

[warm hearth]

as i said around 400-450

[tidal geyser]

also the 9950X3D came out this year and is the best for what it is, why would someone sell it

[boreal vine]

I mean I'm selling 7800x3d, b650 tuf wifi, 64GB 6000mhz cl30 and 1TB 970 evo for like 550 GBP

[warm hearth]

i9 14900k is around 260-320 probs can get that a little cheaper too

probs best bang for the buck

[tidal geyser]

OMG you are looking at USED 14900k

[boreal vine]

14900k used? HAHAHAHAHHAHA

good luck

[tidal geyser]

mans been living under the earths crust

[boreal vine]

holy shit

[tidal geyser]

not just a rock

[sour storm]

god i fucking hate looking for gpus

[warm hearth]

i get it from trusted sellers who offer 5 year warranty with any issues lol you act like buying second hand is illegal

[tidal geyser]

o yea CEX

[warm hearth]

yes

[warm hearth]

Very cheap & warrently

[frosty prism]

3 stars

[sour storm]

did someone say gex?

[warm hearth]

2 reviews someone said it never arrived but he got a refund..

[sour storm]

https://tenor.com/view/gex-slap-gex-enter-the-gecko-enter-the-gecko-hit-gif-24519640

[frosty prism]

but i mean its 2 reviews could be irrelevant

[warm hearth]

clearly just trying to scam

[boreal vine]

oh no

[tidal geyser]

the issue with kinda any cpu is how central it is for the pc

[boreal vine]

he has no clue why it's a bad buy..

[warm hearth]

Doubt it actually happened

[warm hearth]

And why is it a bad buy

[sour storm]

eh buy it, see what happens :P

[tidal geyser]

how far under a rock have you lived

[warm hearth]

Just answer.

[tidal geyser]

have you heard of the voltage issue?

[warm hearth]

yes i have

[tidal geyser]

then you know why its a bad buy?

[boreal vine]

13th and 14th gen K series CPUs had degradation issues

[warm hearth]

wym "had"

[boreal vine]

had because it's supposedly fixed

[tidal geyser]

if you get one brand new with brand new bios its fixed

[boreal vine]

but units that have been damaged are damaged

[tidal geyser]

but you cant unbake a cake

[sour storm]

yo anyone heard of power color?

[boreal vine]

it's also insanely hard to prove that it's the CPUs causing issues (which you would need to do when you claim for return)

[tidal geyser]

the issue is how strange the cpu acts if its damaged, like it can work just fine for the day you are testing it but long term you can see SO many strange things

[tidal geyser]

not a single person in the world

[warm hearth]

Lucky thing is even if anything does happen 5 year warranty + if any other components get damaged with that product getting used they pay for that too

[boreal vine]

have you ever tried claiming warranty on CEX

[sour storm]

ok so i should not trust it?

[warm hearth]

yes i have

[tidal geyser]

pain

[sour storm]

im confused...

[warm hearth]

i had a rtx 4080 that stopped working one day no picture took it in they said it was faulty "after 1 years i had it" and got a full refund

[tidal geyser]

probs the driver issues and they just pocketed the 4080 and sold it or smn

[boreal vine]

Well lucky for you I suppose, but my experience with CEX in general is horrible in terms of claim, I've had a ram kit from them that they refuse to honour warranty on

just never bothered with it in the end as it's pointless

[warm hearth]

i got back same price i paid for it which wasWAY more than what it is worth now

[tidal geyser]

what price

[sour storm]

westie, do what your heart says, in the end. your money but dont cry if something goes wrong.

whats a good USB 3.0 PCI-E expansion card to get?

[plush wren]

[frail delta]

LMAO

[tidal geyser]

wat???

[sour storm]

why are some gpus shorter

[boreal vine]

USB / USB C

[frail delta]

Any will work fine, unless you need specific USB controllers for VR or something

[boreal vine]

because they're GPUs for midgets

[plush wren]

[tidal geyser]

why do they need to be longer

[boreal vine]

midgets deserves appropriately sized GPUs too

[frail delta]

https://tenor.com/view/how-do-a-man-and-a-woman-make-a-baby-randy-marsh-south-park-s15e4-tmi-gif-23121579

i want a longer one for aesthetics purposes?

[velvet kelp]

i need it to hopefully fix an sound issue with my goxlr mini, but i mean some cheap knockoff could be less good than some other obv, thats mainly why i asked 😅

[tidal geyser]

just get a X3

[boreal vine]

I have like 2 USB expansion on my PC

[sour storm]

nah imma get :3c

[tidal geyser]

that case looks like it was dropped

[plush wren]

rodes bring them

[frail delta]

For all your tism keyboards?

[sour storm]

i dont wanna judge your taste but like...

[plush wren]

wait they're not called rodes wtf

[frail delta]

Do you mean storks?

[plush wren]

oh storks

[tidal geyser]

it does not have a lot of room then just like you wanted

[plush wren]

lmfao yes

[frail delta]

That's a stupid american thing anyway

[boreal vine]

yeah so that I can type with all my 10 hands

get my 30 keyboards plugged in at the same time

[sour storm]

yeah but it's also not fitting my vision smh

oh well, i'll look into it

[boreal vine]

maybe then I can start finally using linux

[plush wren]

[sour storm]

also trying to find a place to order a custom iso board is hell

[sour storm]

because iso is like.....for some god awfull reason way more expensive

[sour storm]

ansi sucks

[barren mulch]

this is a regular ATX motherboard right? (form factor wise)

[plush wren]

wow

iso sucks

[tidal geyser]

m-atx

[plush wren]

[barren mulch]

Kk thanks

[plush wren]

what key could you possibly want here

[plush wren]

Bro wtf

[sour storm]

blue markings aren't always shown but thats all the symbols atleast finnish qwerty can do

[plush wren]

yes

but > being next to shift and while shift is smaller is cray

[sour storm]

you use shift to change between the two

[plush wren]

change between what

[sour storm]

personally i hold my pinky on shift almost all the time so

[sour storm]

"<" and ">"

alternate keys and such

[plush wren]

ohh

[south jackal]

hello I was just curious is thediffrence between pcie 3 and 4 so massive

[tidal geyser]

2x

[south jackal]

I am rocking a r7 5700x3d and was wondering about real world performance

not on paper

[tidal geyser]

1-3%

[south jackal]

for all gpu's?

like yt and stuff shows less than 2% sometimes

[tidal geyser]

5090

well this is gaming too tho

[calm idol]

at x16 lanes yes. so far only below pcie3x16 there have been bigger performance drop offs

[south jackal]

i have a 4070 super and found a deal for a cheaper 5070 (like I get money from that deal) that's why I'm asking

[hollow creek]

bulup bulup

[south jackal]

and found an am4 pcie 4 mobo for like 90 dollars

[tidal geyser]

keep in mind the rtx 5000 drivers are still not perfect and there is still no true stable driver for it

[tidal geyser]

not gonna make a massive difference

[sour storm]

Might svae the 40€ on the gpu unless i can figure sumin out

Gotta see

[south jackal]

I saw a guy on yt getting like 10-15 more fps

[tidal geyser]

trash

[south jackal]

i mean I don't think a 5700x3d is a bottleneck at 1440p so could be pretty significant imo

[tidal geyser]

https://gamersnexus.net/gpus/nvidia-rtx-5090-pcie-50-vs-40-vs-30-x16-scaling-benchmarks

[sour storm]

Gotta go get the curtains fro the post box soon

[raven scroll]

works fine but not crazy fps improvement lol

[silent cypress]

is coil whine usually covered by warranty

[sour storm]

For some reason it's like 11°C today

[south jackal]

I read these too

so overall not worth it?

[tidal geyser]

not worth it

rather spend that on a better gpu like a 9070 xt or smn

[tidal geyser]

wat?

[silent cypress]

yes

[tidal geyser]

coil whine is not damage

coil whine is physics

[silent cypress]

its annoying and can be sign of defect

[frail delta]

https://tenor.com/view/emotional-damage-gif-sad-hurt-gif-25031191

[tidal geyser]

its not

[south jackal]

nah bro you can give it into warranty

I did the same on a 3080 ti

[tidal geyser]

maybe the first one yea but not the other one

in the olden times if it was BAD BAD maybe just maybe you could get it replaced but not really anymore

[south jackal]

i mean it depends for how long you've had that card

and from where, if it's a resepctable retailer go for it

[silent cypress]

doesnt it mean smth is broken

[south jackal]

you usually hhave nothing to loose

[silent cypress]

or you got a faulty one

[tidal geyser]

again physics

[south jackal]

naah man but if you have it in warranty you should turn it in

[silent cypress]

im lazy tho and i dont like rejection

[tidal geyser]

all modern high end gpus have coil whine but yea there are card to card differences

[neon oasis]

Anyone had this weird issue where the screen lags or parts of the screen don't update?
Like I'd be scrolling down and the top half of the site would overlay the screen or I'll tab to a different window but the old app would still be showing
I just recently updated my NVIDIA drivers and it didn't fix the issue so I don't think it's a GPU driver issue

[true stirrup]

Free performance is free performance

[next zenith]

am I missing something cause that is the cheapest I have ever seen one of those X99 combos ever go for
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007170719100.html
just a little over NZD$110 after tax
doesn't seem to be a fake either with the quantity of user reviews

on god

[tidal geyser]

its old as balls but no i think its fully legit

[next zenith]

People are still ripping with these in budget gaming rigs

[tidal geyser]

for gaming ehhhhh but for server stuff its awsome

[next zenith]

But I've never seen it go that cheap

[brave brook]

1. it is meh board 2) X99 is technicallynot W11 compatible

[brave brook]

my personal favorite would be https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007635791157.html but obviously the board alone is equal to the cost of mobo + CPU + RAM in your case

[next zenith]

Yeah that's the compelling part

[brave brook]

not the identical part, but the issues are typical for all chinese boards, so... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5ChYgQ-W38

[brave brook]

to be fair, that CPU is nearly free anyway, and RAM is also not that expensive

[next zenith]

cpu overclocking: not supported
Yeah no wonder it's a server CPU duhh

[clear canyon]

There are overclockable server cpus

[next zenith]

Rufus says otherwise

[clear canyon]

Microsoft patched the easy ways to get past it

Rufus has to find another way

Unless you have an older ISO like me 🙂

[tidal geyser]

officaly but yes anything after core 2 stuff can do windows 11

[next zenith]

Rufus is still getting around it iirc

[tidal geyser]

the issue is also if you bypass it you need to reinstall windows for every major version from what i understand

[clear canyon]

No guarantee

[next zenith]

You're saying this like you're a teacher wagging your finger at me

[clear canyon]

?

[next zenith]

They are still getting around it

[plush wren]

[clear canyon]

I said there is no guarantee with Microsoft activity trying shut it down

[proper gull]

There's an easier solution here.... Stop trying to run an OS on ancient garbage that it doesn't support. Keep using 10 or use linux

It really does

[sinful cobalt]

“ dont build am4 in 2025!”
“No dont build with a 8400F!”

[tidal geyser]

most people rec the 8400f over a 5600

but i would buy a used pc with a 5600 if it meant i got a better gpu or smn

[upper abyss]

im thinking rn if i should vert mount or not

[lethal bay]

The 8400F really has no reason to exist other than ram OC

[tidal geyser]

CHEAP

and yea yea performance is no 7500f but its still good enough for most things

[lethal bay]

It has all the disadvantages of an APU while… also not having an iGPU lmao

[lethal bay]

realistically what’s the price difference between a 8400F and 7500F

[gloomy sleet]

thats insane

[tidal geyser]

one is almost not possible to even buy locally in way too many places

also the 8400f tends to be around half the price from what i can see locally

[sinful cobalt]

i found their price diff to be like $50-$80 sgd different

[lethal bay]

Well.. at least the 8400F is 6 full fat Zen 4 cores and not mostly 4c lol

[true stirrup]

I mean it has a very nice shroud so why not

[upper abyss]

is shroud the fan design? also what are the pros and cons of vert mount

[plush wren]

IT looks COOL

[sinful cobalt]

“you should get a used gpu!”(no warranty and if it dies ur fucked)

“you should get a b580!” (drivers are still funky in some games)

[tidal geyser]

what games

[plush wren]

DNF

[latent gull]

The driver argument is funny, watching Intel improve their drivers at an exponential rate while nvidia and AMD persistently fuck up their drivers

[sinful cobalt]

not the full list of what my friend went through but some

Pros: it looks good
Cons: Maybe a tiny bit worse temps but negligible, might interfere with bigger air coolers

For what purpose

[hollow sorrel]

Gaming, maybe a little ai

[tidal geyser]

ai?

[raven scroll]

Nvidia likes ai

So I’d say decent 👌

[hollow sorrel]

Yeah, like ai image generation, locally running chat bots, etc

[tidal geyser]

yea no, not gonna get anything great with a gpu like that like yea its fine but just do not buy a gpu DUE to that

[clear canyon]

It's mostly for gaming tbh ai is more a side thing

[tidal geyser]

just get a amd card ofc if its cheaper too

[raven scroll]

Get what makes you happy, it boost performance

[elder quarry]

That is true, you usually perform better if you’re happy

if you’re gonna do anything ml related i just wouldn’t buy anything radeon

unless usa

5070 is cheaper than 9070

[clear canyon]

Its acting as if i was DMing someone

[tidal geyser]

sad

[clear canyon]

Thats probably bc its a website perhaps 🤷‍♂️

[gentle kestrel]

kinda funny that the 5070 ended up being the value pick of the gen

[cosmic idol]

same here, most 5070s are cheaper than 9070s here

[clear canyon]

It normal is

The 70 class

[sinful cobalt]

na ncase is just toxic they’re the ripoff

[clear canyon]

I mean 70 class is normally your best all rounder for peformance to price

[gentle kestrel]

yeah but the reddit vram crisis wanted it doa

[clear canyon]

IT USED TO

[latent gull]

It’s done that to me once before if the message got deleted while your replying to it

[cosmic idol]

I wouldn't call any 70 class gpu budget I'm sorry 😭

[tidal geyser]

just look at the 3070

[cosmic idol]

oh wait I read it wrong mb

ignore me, a bit late 😔

[tidal geyser]

like the best last gen consumer card performance but not price

[cosmic idol]

lmfao. not with the 5070 vs 4090

[clear canyon]

Never said budget, i said best price to peformance for its generation

[granite nexus]

Hi just would like to ask for some input, i had a i79700k paired with a 2070 super and was looking to upgrade, i snatched a 3080 evga ftw3 card for 300usd and im thinking of a platform upgrade as im quite cpu bottlenecked in a few games, im playing in 1440p. I have decided to go the amd route and i snatched a corsair vengeance rgb ddr5 32gb 6000 cl30 kit and an arctic liquid freezer 3 pro argb, that leaves me with motherboard and cpu. Ive decided to go with a aorus b850 elite wifi 7 board (havent bought it yet) and conflicted between the r7 9700x (270usd) and 7800x3d (340usd) *prices in my country converted to usd. The 9800x3d would be nice but its out of my budget at its selling for 470USD here. Btw theres basically a 10usd diff in b650 and b850 so id make sense to go for the newer board... any thoughts? im planing to upgrade to a 5080 when price settles in 2-3 years and im hoping to be able to use the same cpu by then and thats why im really conflicted on which one to choose. I did a lot of research and i saw that some games benefits from the higher clock speeds of the 9th gen and some benefited from the extra 3d vcache.. your help and support would mean alot.. Love

[elder quarry]

And rhe sceeen is 14”

[tidal geyser]

it comes in stock today, xd, the same im getting the moto that got 50% more ram, like 4x more storage and so on

ChatGPT has converted the wall of text to something less annoying : Hi, I’d like to ask for some input. I currently have an i7-9700K paired with a 2070 Super, and I’m looking to upgrade. I managed to get an EVGA FTW3 RTX 3080 for $300, and now I'm considering a platform upgrade since I’m experiencing some CPU bottlenecking in a few games at 1440p.

I’ve decided to switch to AMD. I already bought a Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 32GB 6000MHz CL30 kit and an Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro ARGB cooler. Now I just need a CPU and motherboard.

I’m leaning toward the Aorus B850 Elite WiFi 7 (not purchased yet), since there's only a $10 difference between B650 and B850 in my country—so going with the newer platform makes sense.

I'm torn between two CPUs:

Ryzen 7 9700X for $270

Ryzen 7 7800X3D for $340

(The Ryzen 9 9800X3D would be ideal, but it's out of budget at $470.)

I plan to upgrade to an RTX 5080 in 2–3 years when prices stabilize, and I hope to keep the same CPU by then. That’s why I’m struggling with this choice. I’ve read that some games benefit from higher clock speeds (like the 9700X), while others perform better with the extra 3D V-Cache (like the 7800X3D).

Your thoughts and advice would mean a lot. Thanks! @granite nexus

[elder quarry]

No u

[elder quarry]

Thank you

[cosmic idol]

😭

[tidal geyser]

marky what model should i use for a 8GB rtx 2080

[gentle kestrel]

7800x3d probably better buy imo

[elder quarry]

llama 27b

I have no idea not that at least

[robust trail]

the 2080 will run something small, I always suggest 8 or 13B Llama or mistral models

[granite nexus]

thanks for the input 🙏

[tidal geyser]

yea

[tidal geyser]

kinda wanna try out homeassistant with a AI backbone

maybe try out home assistant voice thingy

[robust trail]

sick, that sounds fun! You will be on a slight struggle bus if you want bi-directional speech

so speech to speech interactions

[tidal geyser]

yeeaa

[left dove]

everyone wants a jarvis

[cosmic idol]

that sounds actually hella cool

[jaunty apex]

i used to anyway

[tidal geyser]

going forward i think the smart move is to either get a dedicated machine with homeassistant OS right on there with some GOOD gpu like a b60 or something like dat

maybe a 3060

or 2

[elder quarry]

Or a friday

[odd marsh]

Oh hi Mark

[robust trail]

hello

[odd marsh]

https://www.maxsun.com/products/intel-arc-pro-b60-dual-48g-turbo I need it

I would look into Spark if you have the cash. It will be a good AI machine for things like this. Lots of RAM to run tons of models.

[cosmic idol]

just get 48gb 4090 smh 😔

[odd marsh]

this is rumored to be only $1000, and it's just a cool card

[tidal geyser]

how many thousands is a spark gonna be

[cosmic idol]

also interesting how intel has dipped their toes into the ai sorta market

I have a ryzen 7 5700x3d,4070 super and 32gb of ram should I upgrade my ram or nah? I mostly game and use discord and stuff it’s been fine but I have extra money and wondering if it’s worth it or nah

basically the cost of a high-end gamer PC, they're not cheap to build

[left dove]

ampersand = and

[robust trail]

it has a blackwell GPU 🙂

if you really want more ram go for it but if you are not running out no reason to i can see

[robust trail]

and it is tiny AF

[odd marsh]

And a dope Arm cpu

[cosmic idol]

actually it would be "and", due to there not being a fullstop or equivalent gramatical marker beforehand 😔

[tidal geyser]

does blackwell have more ML features

[raven scroll]

How

[tidal geyser]

yeaaa ya got dis

[raven scroll]

32gb is like 100+

.* as in any character infinite (regex) I’m not that dumb

[raven scroll]

If you don’t use em often they must be quite dusty, but today is your lucky day. I’ll be happy to clean them for you just send em over

[robust trail]

somewhat. I built my own. It did stuff but I didn't use it for anything really. I have apple home whatever running everything

[odd marsh]

Mark what have you been doing with the home lab as of late?

[cosmic idol]

❤️

[tidal geyser]

i first need to get some actual smart sensors before i can really do a lot

[cosmic idol]

aww

[tidal geyser]

right now all i have is my roomba connected to it and spotify in terms of things i can do from home assistant but no real world sensors

[robust trail]

I have been working on beating DIA TTS into submission

I'm getting there... slowly. DIA is amazing but a complete psychopath

[cosmic idol]

are there home assistants that can import weather data from like your personal weather station, and after enough time has elapsed, they can use said data to comment on trends throughout that time of year usually?

[robust trail]

Trying to control it is a fools errand

I need me a GPU with more than 12GB of vram

[robust trail]

I develop and deploy AI pipelines for fun 🙂 There will be no youtube or reddit. I try not to dive into the dumpster for information 😄

everytime I want to do something remotely complicated it's usually an ordeal with reddit, youtube, and if I'm really really desperate, ai

[cosmic idol]

oo cool. Fun !
I actually wanna get into ai stuff so much more it's so interesting

[robust trail]

I also do this for work stuff all the time, so I am one of the devs that reddit and youtube create content with using things I work on.

[covert sparrow]

ok, so tower cooler vs aio cooler for a AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D. is there any big diffrance anymore? keep hearing aio/liquid cooling isint realy needed anymore

[tidal geyser]

just go air

[latent pasture]

if u just want performance yeah
better cooler can cool the same for less noise, thats their benefit

[elder quarry]

Do you know any ML like TF or stuff (I have no idea what I’m talking about, AI is not my thing)

[tidal geyser]

it is the same performance

[robust trail]

not that everyone creates content using my work, or that what I do is impressive but you get it. Some of the stuff I work on explodes into popularity or it lives in the dark.

[robust trail]

Machine Learning, Tensorflow?

[elder quarry]

Yes

[cosmic idol]

though I saw an ltt vid the other day on like local models and some of the info they said was so hilariously made up.
So mark, is there an llm that's remotely similar to the knowledge of openai that you could run locally? or like openai, would you have to install an llm, and yk, "train" it

[robust trail]

I mostly use pytorch at this point.

[elder quarry]

Nice

[tidal geyser]

deepseek r1 FULL

[latent pasture]

yes (?) wdym
i mean if the cooler is better they can run it slower and more silenter

[quartz basin]

How do I bypass this I tried “oobe\bypassnro”

[tidal geyser]

too late

[tidal geyser]

you cant be plugged into internet or have internet

[elder quarry]

Fuck Microsoft, what’s the new one?

[covert sparrow]

ty

[tidal geyser]

a 9950X3D does not lose performance on a good air cooler over AIO

[elder quarry]

Isn’t there some like

[jaunty apex]

lol

[odd marsh]

I once tried to install Pytorch and run some deep fake stuff on my mobile 3050 Ti, went swimmingly

[jaunty apex]

i sure feel like a fuckwit right about now

[tidal geyser]

LM studio is fun

[latent pasture]

yes what where did i say that its better
im saying the cpu performs the same, but the better cooler can stay more silent

[robust trail]

I run Ollama and Mistral or LLama. And my super dangerous homebrew assistant

[granite nexus]

does 4th gen pcie degrade 50 series performance? or i should be gucci

[quartz basin]

Will “start ms-cxh:localonly” work?

[robust trail]

Mistal/LLama with a RAG backend takes care of most things. If you want internet searching you can bolt my web scraper to it

[cosmic idol]

bro's gonna take over your house lmfao 😭

[tidal geyser]

if im not mistaken 50 series gpus use 5th gen pcie

[robust trail]

here's my web scraper, you need to bash it into working with your pipeline 🙂

[latent pasture]

if ur settings r enough that it runs out of vram yes

[tidal geyser]

pcie 5.0 yes but you can use pcie 1.0 on that

[latent pasture]

[latent pasture]

the more the vram the less the bad pcie bandwith matters
so its unironically more of a problem the worse the gpu is

[elder quarry]

Git repo?

[robust trail]

basically the logic allows the LLM to scrape the website, grab links and dive deeper

[granite nexus]

my apologies

[left dove]

I hate that more people don't subscribe to this logic towards a lot of purchasing decisions

if you ask the assistant to create tooling that looks at stock levels every... I dunno 10 minutes. It will beat on the site and check

"Wuhh I want the best of the best even though I can barely cover my rent" headass logic

cmon he does need a 500$ board for his 400$ 7800X3D since it looks good in his case with a mesh side panel

[wheat torrent]

What's wrong with that

[cosmic idol]

Literally how I do it

[robust trail]

I havent worked on it in a while... been too busy.

[tidal geyser]

it makes most people want to end their lives when trying to help and it results in a horrible list

[cosmic idol]

Hot take
If your motherboard cost more than your cpu you’ve done something wrong with your budgeting

[wheat torrent]

How you build of a list if the list does not account for regional pricings

[left dove]

adjust for pricing with similar components

[cosmic idol]

Pc part picker for the relevant country is how id do it

[left dove]

i.e. use your fk'n wrinkly-ass brain

[latent pasture]

you do
thats why the first question is almost always what location

[wheat torrent]

PC part picker doesn't have all countries

[robust trail]

here is the base architecture and insanity. I am not good at flow charts.

[wheat torrent]

Aka just building it part by part at that point

[tidal geyser]

but the issue is that the person trying to do piece by piece does not say that

and or uses USD

buuut is in i dono india or some shit

[odd marsh]

I need more VRAM

[left dove]

doesnt india have its own pcpp

[robust trail]

I just wanted to map what I was doing to keep track

[wheat torrent]

I mean I would prefer everyone to use USD to be honest

[odd marsh]

All the stuff you do seems so cool, but I am limited by my technology

[cosmic idol]

Idk if you wanna be lazy when helping someone, just vpn to their country hahaha

[wheat torrent]

Not a lot of people care enough to convert currencies

[quartz basin]

any cons for doing it this way? (start ms-cxh:localonly)

[wheat torrent]

Especially when there are a lot of conversions to be made

[tidal geyser]

yup

[latent pasture]

thats why we just ask the store and budget and avoid conversion entirely
it just adds useless steps that give no info

[wheat torrent]

And sometimes the currency is written like P&#- or some shit and you may not know the currency

[tidal geyser]

not really

[cosmic idol]

Mhm

[robust trail]

you're only limitied by performance, you can run all of this stuff on CPU but it will be slower

[wheat torrent]

Fair

[latent pasture]

you dont need to know the currency to decide like
b650 motherboard cost 1250 elephants
x870e motherboard costs 3000 elephants
x870e probably not worth 3x the cost

[cosmic idol]

Time to get 256gb ddr5 for an llm on cpu only

[tidal geyser]

lets try this

[odd marsh]

Would need a ton of system memory no? My current homelab is a 12700k with 32GB DDR4, so that needs to be changed

[cosmic idol]

Copy past my beloved

[odd marsh]

That's why I am really looking for a Arc B60 dual pro

[cosmic idol]

Or just use bucks and assume everyone is talking about the same currency

[tidal geyser]

its not hard my man

[left dove]

yeah like

[robust trail]

No you can run a lot of models with 32GB of rams. Ollama or LM studio can run models easily via CPU

[left dove]

i really don't get why you're making building a pc this fuckin' difficult lmao

[tidal geyser]

or just

[left dove]

lm studio doesn't like using my gpu :(

[odd marsh]

Ok hmm good to know, time for me to do a little experimenting

[robust trail]

Ollama > LMstudio I thinks

[wheat torrent]

what im saying is some people will often ignore or not care enough to do conversions

[left dove]

ohreally

[cosmic idol]

Idk I think we got caught up in trying to answer questions lol

[tidal geyser]

yeeaa i have done enough piece by piece builds to where i just wanna stop all of it, anyhow i suspect he is asking in build a pc now or just making a thingy there

[cosmic idol]

Wrong af

[tidal geyser]

skill issue

[wheat torrent]

I guess

[left dove]

so then don't bother with those people or do it yourself after receiving a parts list

honestly how hard do you have to make this

[cosmic idol]

What

[latent pasture]

if im feeling not lazy i used to just ask for their store and budget and make the list on my own

[odd marsh]

I just want Arc B60 dual

[cosmic idol]

So valid bro

[wheat torrent]

useless for me

[tidal geyser]

i did dat

[clear canyon]

Yeah, those look dope

[wheat torrent]

if you're making your own software I guess it has a usecase

[tidal geyser]

and yes it works pretty well

[tidal geyser]

waht is the performance difference

[wheat torrent]

but I guess some apps will have native implementation

[elder quarry]

MSRP, Microsoft shit reputation

Make it come true

[odd marsh]

Some of the coolest cards to be released in a while imo

[cosmic idol]

Microsoft’s shitty retail pricing

[elder quarry]

Ture

[cloud solstice]

Between the two motherboards?

[tidal geyser]

i was sacred the performance difference would be tiny buuut it really does not look like it

[tidal geyser]

what else

[cosmic idol]

I’m sorry but who was this directed at I’m so confused 😭 😭

[latent pasture]

did u mean to say price lmao

[clear canyon]

Ikr, i want one. Would love to add it to my ai compute pool

[tidal geyser]

its also gonna be like 600 nits brigher

[odd marsh]

I've already emailed Maxsun about it but nothing

[neat rivet]

should i get a 5070ti or 5080

[clear canyon]

Yeah im confused too

[cloud solstice]

I have no idea what the difference between the boards are other than one has PCIe 5. That was my question - I have no idea if a B850 is worth the extra cost

[cosmic idol]

Microsoft isn’t the worst…

[odd marsh]

(not even released yet)

[robust trail]

\o/ 3.7T we're number 1! Again! for the... how many times has NV and MS battled for the most market cap?

[odd marsh]

Get the best card you can afford

[tidal geyser]

(its not)

[cosmic idol]

🙏

[left dove]

The way you tried interacting right off the bat rang alarm bells in my head for weirdo/chaser status. I curb that shit real fast if I suspect it happening

[clear canyon]

Dude just saw you was into aviation lol

[cosmic idol]

I’m obsessed with planes that’s legit the only reason tf 😭

[left dove]

you don't deal w/ creeps on the regular lmao

[clear canyon]

But assuming someone is, is just rude tbh

[left dove]

If you're not being weird, that's great- it's just how it read to me.

[clear canyon]

I understand but i would of needed more context before making a decision on that

[left dove]

Yeah uh, try being followed around in public, or having people message you weird shit

My guard is high for that kinda shit

But anyways, back to computers

[robust trail]

I like planes. It was super excited to get onto a 787 hours after the tragic failure of that Air India 787.

[cosmic idol]

Oh lawd

Yeah that was awful

I’m actually like sorta grieving that fr

[latent pasture]

i got to see a plane a380 right when the arc a380 was releasing

[cosmic idol]

Soz for triggering you, wasn’t my intention
Just saw the word aviation and went oo shiny, didn’t even read anything else lol

[clear canyon]

I have ppl all the time bring up stuff thats in my bio, i dont just assume they are a creep just because they looked at someone i chose to be public 🤷‍♂️

[left dove]

the spruce goose is always a good sight

[latent pasture]

the craziest shit humanity build if it means earning $$$$

[clear canyon]

Ill take the $$$$

[left dove]

Nah you're fine dude dw

[cosmic idol]

Cheers 🙏

[keen stratus]

Are these okay and safe to use for cleaning a pc?

[charred kiln]

D:

[cosmic idol]

What do you plan to do career wise with your it qualifications?

[robust trail]

I want to play on an A380 but business class on lufthansa is a joke

Maybe Germans are okay with snoozing next to a stranger on a giant aluminum tube but I'm not. Especially paying for that ticket.

[tidal geyser]

no they will make it blow up in big big fire made of fire

[clear canyon]

Im currently doing a summer internship at a medical facility in my area, we do all kinds of IT stuff. If it goes well, they should let me go full time after this year since ill graduate

[kindred halo]

The downsides of being cooler 😔
They're just jealous you have an M113 w/ a Spo-15 & 2x Bofors L/60s and they don't

[left dove]

I can already smell the static discharge

[tidal geyser]

but no its fine

[kindred halo]

Your best bet is just compressed air cans

[clear canyon]

Iv been doing certifications on my free time for their firewall stuff

[kindred halo]

To be the most safe

[left dove]

datavac blower :D

[robust trail]

the question is... do you really need to clean your PC? These days... dust seems to be an uncommon issue. Maybe I'm totally wrong.

[clear canyon]

Blow the bits everywhere!

[tidal geyser]

i should too

[kindred halo]

But if sim says it's fine, it probably is

[cosmic idol]

Oh dope

Medical it is interesting, especially with how bulletproof it has to be

[clear canyon]

We use fortinet and its really cool

[kindred halo]

Very environmental-dependant issue

[tidal geyser]

if you work on used shit it really is

[odd marsh]

Ok Arc Pro gpus don't launch until Q3, which starts July 1st

[clear canyon]

Yeah

[kindred halo]

Not even just used items

[robust trail]

this is true

[kindred halo]

There's lots of dust here

[keen stratus]

I was asking cuz Idk if they have a risk of fryong components

[robust trail]

With all of the filters and stuff.. I don't think I've dusted any PC in probably 5+ years

[kindred halo]

Granted it's from building debris, but dust still accumulates even when dealing with new parts given enough time

[tidal geyser]

i swear after a month i get a mm layer of dust on everything around me

[cosmic idol]

I live in a gov owned house and I’ve just straight up rerouted the Ethernet cables so the Fortinet ain’t used LMAO

[robust trail]

jebus

[left dove]

People clean their PCs?

[tidal geyser]

unless you plug the vac into the parts its fine

[clear canyon]

How are you getting internet?

[kindred halo]

Okay I am worry but please either clean that or change it </3

[keen stratus]

I want smt I can use again and again

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/black-cat-walking-cat-walk-glamour-glamorous-gif-606557101916811110

[left dove]

oh please that little bit of dust is nothing

[kindred halo]

It may be confirmation bias but cleaning filters usually makes fans quieter too

[robust trail]

never cleaned this lol

[quartz basin]

Any browsers you guys recommend? I used to use Opera GX but didn’t utilize any of its settings

[plush wren]

Firefox

[keen stratus]

Yea I have my pc on the ground it still had a lot of dust that cant be cleaned by hand unless u take out some components

[left dove]

tinnitus makes fan noise a welcome commodity

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/ltt-firefox-riley-bye-techlinked-gif-15163358430889381125

[robust trail]

ah, that will do it

[keen stratus]

What's vac

[left dove]

just use chrome

[kindred halo]

Are the mesh filters cleanable usually or do I need to get new ones each time

[lethal bay]

pick whichever has your favorite color

[keen stratus]

Yea

[tidal geyser]

vacuum

[robust trail]

you can clean them 🙂

[tidal geyser]

the thingy you were showing

[cosmic idol]

Uh for me iirc it was just unplug the bastard

[kindred halo]

Ah. Verstanden

[tidal geyser]

only heppa shit tends to need replacing

[keen stratus]

Which one should I get the big leaf blower one or the other portable one

[left dove]

anything with a MERV rating should be replaced tbh

[robust trail]

The trick for disposable filters? Pantyhose

[clear canyon]

And you dont get introuble? They can map and detect that stuff

[kindred halo]

Will keep in mind once I can make use of this info, might need to look up a tutorial just incase they need special treatment(s)

[cosmic idol]

Lmfao
Nope

[left dove]

literally just vacuum the dust off, there's no special regimen

[kindred halo]

Atleast it's only two mesh filters - not counting the one I'll put on my rear fan

[tidal geyser]

no clue how good they are

[robust trail]

they don't. You can run them under some water and let them dry

[keen stratus]

Hmm alr

[kindred halo]

No washing? Like, at all?

[cosmic idol]

Fortinet kinda fire

except for when it won’t let me torrent

[kindred halo]

Ah, so just like the filter on my hybrid inverter's fan. Easy enough

[cosmic idol]

[left dove]

i mean, i wash my filter when the dust layer starts touching the front panel

[robust trail]

I do use pantyhose for my filterless servers lol. I stretch that shit over the intakes

[elder quarry]

Vanguard Anti-Cheat

[south arrow]

I pat dry with a towel to prevent mold but as long as you let it dry all good

[charred kiln]

currently fighting ubisoft connect to fucking work with protontricks

[cosmic idol]

If it works it works

[keen stratus]

🙏

[elder quarry]

Firefox or librewolf

[left dove]

People called me weird for suggesting pantyhose as a filter material :(

[elder quarry]

Firefxo

[robust trail]

that shit is OG

[south arrow]

If it worksss fams xD

[robust trail]

I get weird looks when I buy a year's supply at once lol

[tidal geyser]

valve anti cheat

[odd marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-side-eye-staring-gif-24666090

[left dove]

It's such a good filter material because you can make it more or less porous based on how much you stretch it :D

[kindred halo]

Hm, will keep in mind once I totally get a server

[quasi field]

Holy balls I almost had a heart attack… I thought my gpu stopped working but no I just forgot to plug in my HDMI’s cable…

[robust trail]

they're great filter material. And they're useful as filter socks for aquariums

[elder quarry]

Seek medical advice

[quasi field]

lol

[left dove]

They make good ash filters for pipes, too :D

[covert sparrow]

ok i know this is a hot take with few. but what is best rgb/argb case fans atm?

[robust trail]

lmao

this sample I processed is funny. sorry.

[elder quarry]

Noctua

[pulsar flint]

do these look legit?

[clear spruce]

@elder quarry

[covert sparrow]

they dont have rgb though i thought

[pulsar flint]

its kinda hard to tell but i would appriciate help

[elder quarry]

There’s a thing called LED’s and microcontroller

[clear spruce]

hey e, well its a R.I.P.

[covert sparrow]

ya but i want my fans to be colored too. rear that i cant see is guna be a noctua though

[elder quarry]

Noctua has a bit rubber, you can penetrate the led into it or fasten with tape or smth

[quasi field]

I was actually worried tho cause my vga light was on and my fans weren’t spinning

[elder quarry]

Am I supposed to hear something

[south arrow]

2nd vid looks blown right?

Cause when he pressed it only made the one side move*?

[clear spruce]

yep..

[elder quarry]

That’s what the LED’s are for, and you can swap the rubber vibration prevention with other colours on some fans

[clear spruce]

i just dont know how.

i havent used these speakers in literal MONTHS and they were fine.

[south arrow]

It be like that old speakers

[clear spruce]

ig so

my dad said its fixable, but no point

[south arrow]

I don't see any obvious tears so could be via bottom or maybe around the middle. Your pops myte have a quick patch if you get bored never hurts to lettem try

[clear spruce]

?

its probably an issue with the coil though.

[south arrow]

He myte find a hole somewhere and be able to patch it

[south arrow]

That'd be week sauce

[clear spruce]

😔

im just unsure though

doesnt smell burnt or anything.

[unique bone]

Hey. Should I buy MSI B650M Gaming PLUS WIFI for my motherboard?

It costs 138,59 euro

[south arrow]

138$ doesn't sound to shabby for a mobo if it has heatsinks on the vrms and you like it, sure

[unique bone]

I believe it does but I heard that they aren't the coolest

Thus I come asking cus yeah first time building a pc
