[gloomy sleet]

i like a soft light tactile

which is why i like a gasket mount/oring mount

[agile topaz]

Yeah, I do like a gasket mount

[gloomy sleet]

a lot of flex

makes the tactile bump more pronounced and last longer

[agile topaz]

I am real tempted

[gloomy sleet]

do it

an ak820 pro is my main keyboard that’s a really nice board

the gift switches are easily my favourite linear

[agile topaz]

I just spent $1600 on a pc, $300 on a monitor, $270 on a UPS, and $60 on headphones, I'm probably gonna wait a bit until my current board is done 😂

Why is this hobby so god damn expensive 😂

[swift moss]

Hmmmmmmm

[swift moss]

I hope this is pre licensed though, I can't afford Dolby studio licenses

[exotic reef]

is there any way i can turn off the leds on my headphones without any software or button on said headphones

[swift moss]

21 USD for 5.1.2 not bad

[left dove]

because you're not queer/lgbt lmao

[agile topaz]

Now this is a work of art, Gateron Double Rail Magenetic Nebula Switches

[gloomy sleet]

i’m not even going to reply to this i’m going to let it simmer

[agile topaz]

That's a rosewood accent on the sides of a full metal 2.4gHz keyboard

When it goes on sale I'm buying it instantly

[swift moss]

Except like 20 days of work JESUS routing a whole ass arm cpu

Like 200 pins

[swift moss]

Looks good

[gloomy sleet]

actually no

they revised it recently and they just made it worse

[agile topaz]

The color balancing in that photo isn't even showing off how good it looks

I'm a sucker for rosewood

[clear canyon]

It looks good still tho

[chrome ether]

mf keyboard has more ghz than my cpu

[swift moss]

I like wood but it's a shame premium woods are super rare in NZ

I'mlooking for slates to build speaker out of

[agile topaz]

Still does absolutely, but I love darker red accents

[swift moss]

And veneer my amp

[gloomy sleet]

unlubed moon switches oem profile keycaps not double shot and a more inconsistent font

also the screen is missing the rgb and volume control functions on it

[agile topaz]

That's the dongle connection, it's a more reliable way of doing wireless afaik

[gloomy sleet]

you used to be able to do FN+knob (click the knob down)

[clear canyon]

I hate abs, pbt is much nicer

[agile topaz]

And considering how many more wires this setup has I need to have some reduction

[agile topaz]

God damn

[gloomy sleet]

and this would allow the in screen menu to be used but now you can’t use that

[gloomy sleet]

they’re still pbt just not double shot and oem profile

[clear canyon]

Ur poor cpu

[gloomy sleet]

oem profile is kinda ass because 99% of modern keycaps i see are cherry profile

[chrome ether]

my apu is at 96 degrees with firefox open

[gloomy sleet]

the latency of the board is better on the newer version but that’s about it

[clear canyon]

Laptop cooling

[gloomy sleet]

i wouldn’t recommend the new ak820 pro the old one is a lot better

[chrome ether]

the thermal paste evaporated playing gta4 gng

[clear canyon]

Lol

[gloomy sleet]

i’ve heard the HE variant uses the cherry profile keycaps

and good switches

[chrome ether]

i do partially blame asus for this abysmal heatsink with not even a heapipe

[gloomy sleet]

the ak820 max seems like a decent choice for a HE board

would recommend that since it’s also 5 pin hotswap which is oddly lacking on most other HE boards i’ve seen

[agile topaz]

And the sounds
https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxRVBwihyKlj0rBDuX_cvrOwEkdwqTt4w-?si=qEGc5AVj__UoSpI9

[steel umbra]

are you sure it's the he version, i believe there are non he ak820 maxes

[gloomy sleet]

the space bar sound a bit odd

[agile topaz]

A little, but they're magnetic so I'm surprised they sound as decent as they do

[gloomy sleet]

the ak820 and ak820 pro aren’t HE the ak820 max is HE

[steel umbra]

no, ak820 max he is HE, ak820 max is non HE

[gloomy sleet]

wait what

really? i thought the max meant HE

[steel umbra]

yes

[gloomy sleet]

what switches does the non he one come with

[steel umbra]

linear, unsure if they have tactile options

on the non HE ver. you have ajazz sea salt purple, idk abt the other

[little spoke]

msi g244 e2 or gigabyte gs25f2

which woufl be a better monitor

great deal

[plush wren]

[gloomy sleet]

65% hot swap board is unprecedented for £20

[plush wren]

eponaker made a he keyboard for like 65$

[gloomy sleet]

idk i don’t really like cheap HE boards

[plush wren]

Buy drunkdeer then

Or iqunix or wooting

Easy fix

[gloomy sleet]

HE boards rely so heavily on software

[idle vessel]

hall effect bad

[carmine yew]

30$ on US Amazon, still not terrible

[gloomy sleet]

£20 is $27 so that make sense

[plush wren]

Geeky

[gloomy sleet]

[gloomy sleet]

that’s the SE not hot swap board

[idle vessel]

[pallid surge]

Which case?

[carmine yew]

especially after shiny new tarriffs

[pallid surge]

I was going to get the montech xr but its has some weird marks on the case that cannot be removed

[idle vessel]

the one you like most

[pallid surge]

So I need a replacement case under 50

[left dove]

can confirm, this works on me with most food

[plush wren]

[gloomy sleet]

we only have a 25% tariff so $32 in the 10 billion % tariffs america has is great

[rough wing]

$675-750usd imo

[rough wing]

would be lucky for that tbh

[sinful robin]

yh but the battery disappoints me

and the heat even w liquid metal applied

[reef osprey]

guys, to reset cmos, removing the battery is enough, or a jumper flash is a must? my mobo doesnt have a reset buttom

[plush wren]

remove the battery and hold down ur power button for like 15 seconds

[sinful robin]

u know somewhere to buy lap batteries

[reef osprey]

tyvm

[rough wing]

ebay, amazon ect

[empty sinew]

Man am I ever having problems and I don’t know where to start

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joTJqECh4yI

this is a hell of a grab by Linus, I'm really curious where they end up

[misty bane]

what yall think is the best 4k oled gaming monitor rn (value or just best)?

[idle vessel]

probably thrown away

[carmine yew]

0.o

yeah, nah. not happening.

[versed sleet]

whats the best budget mice my old amazon one has died

[idle vessel]

darmoshark m3s pro

[clear canyon]

I doubt they will throw away those cases, i bet they will give them away via Christmas party or other means such as ppl buying them within the company or something similar

[clear canyon]

Idk about budget but i use the razor basilisk v3

[idle vessel]

yeah that is definitely not budget lol

[clear canyon]

Lol

[idle vessel]

why did apple add a new line there

[versed sleet]

i aint spending over 60 quid for a mouse 😭

[clear canyon]

Its a good mouse

[idle vessel]

i did not do that

[idle vessel]

mice are way more important than you think

or pointing devices in general

[versed sleet]

i shoot on roblox it aint that deep to me

[idle vessel]

darmoshark m3s pro from aliexpress is good though

[idle vessel]

still way preferable to have a good mouse

[frigid topaz]

Yeah but is it worth risking my gpu dying idk

[carmine yew]

what is your budget, and wired or wireless?

[versed sleet]

I prefer wireless

and less than 60 pounds

idk what that is in usd ngl

[ocean axle]

id hope you'd want a mouse to be lighter than 60 lbs

[clear canyon]

An OC wont kill ur gpu

Voltage kills

[versed sleet]

nah mate I like my mouse to be weighing a ton

[ocean axle]

short or long?

[true stirrup]

If you didn't ramp up the voltage to unsafe amounts (can't even do it on Nvidia) then you are completely fine

[idle vessel]

m3s pro is wireless

[versed sleet]

wym

[ocean axle]

short ton or long ton?

[idle vessel]

i’m british and my darmoshark m3s pro was 30 pounds

[gloomy sleet]

i like the m913 for £30

[ocean axle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_ton

[versed sleet]

long ton

im bri-ish

[clear canyon]

So heavy

[frigid topaz]

Okay thx

[gloomy sleet]

m913 is 126 grams

[idle vessel]

currency if ur not trolling

[clear canyon]

Im trolling lol

[idle vessel]

m3s pro is something like 58

[idle vessel]

figured lol

[gloomy sleet]

if you like a mouse with a lot of side buttons for work and stuff then i’d recommend it

[idle vessel]

he does just play roblox to be fair

[versed sleet]

nah side mouse buttons annoying as fuck

[gloomy sleet]

a light mouse is probably better then

[idle vessel]

yeah

[gloomy sleet]

attack shark x3 i guess

[idle vessel]

DARMOSHSRK M3S PRO

[gloomy sleet]

nah having 12 is just useful

[idle vessel]

DARMOSHARK M3S PRO

[gloomy sleet]

bro they’re £70

[versed sleet]

i rather 30 or nothing

[gloomy sleet]

that isn’t budget

[idle vessel]

they were 30 pounds for me

?!

[versed sleet]

i dont like the darmo shark m3s colours

[idle vessel]

get a different colour

[versed sleet]

all the colourways are weird

like black and green

[idle vessel]

buy a different mouse

[versed sleet]

how tf do u even manage to click half them buttons

[gloomy sleet]

thumb

[versed sleet]

i'd lose my finger doing that

[gloomy sleet]

i mainly use the first 2 rows for games

but for other shit i have stuff like win+E on the 8th button

ctrl c (1) ctrl v (2) forward (3) ctrl f (4) ctrl d (5) back (6) ctrl r (7) ctrl z (9) ctrl x (10) shift ctrl esc (11) and esc on 12 because i ran out of ideas

[versed sleet]

i want the superlight but ts so expensive for what

is the Razer Viper V3 HyperSpeed good

[lethal bay]

Attack Shark R6

Shits like $60 and better than my superlight and razer viper

[empty heron]

Its quicker to download things on my phone than pc

So i resorted to a weird flavor of piracy

what is mambasnake ?

[empty heron]

Imma give you a buck 50 worth of advice for free

Just get any kind of modern mouse from reputable company

Its all damn same

[versed sleet]

no cause theyre shit

[empty heron]

They’re shit as in?

[versed sleet]

@lethal bay whats the difference between mambasnake x r6 and just normal

[lethal bay]

dunno

[undone bison]

Is there a recommendation for a first iPad

[hexed tapir]

Buy the newest one

You can afford

[empty heron]

2y ago i got a used m1 ipad pro from 150$ and tbh i would recommend it even today

[empty heron]

Idk thats kinda pointless since tbh if you wanna use it as a glorified media screen m1 and 120 hz is all you need

Considering how modern revisions dont really change anything id say save a buck and see how often you use it

[carmine yew]

seeing as ipad pro's are only on m2 chips now?

Yeah, a used m1 chip pro would be pretty baller

(Apple needs to get the lead out and update the ipad pro's lol)

[empty heron]

Imma be honest i hate how they AGAIN try with the thin shit

I remember the cluster fuck of iphone 6

[carmine yew]

on a tablet? you want it fairly thin

[empty heron]

Does it really matter that much? Its gonna be in a case either way

And even with my small ass hands im comfortably holding 12.9 in pro one

(Not the ridiculously thin one)

[hexed tapir]

Oops, it's too thin We can't add a headphone. Jack

[empty heron]

Ipod nano 7 just looking at the ipad from the corner of hell

God that thing would be baller if it had an sd slot

[hexed tapir]

There is no reason an iPad or tablet shouldn't have a headphone jack other than to push consumers to buy Bluetooth headphones

[empty heron]

Yeahh

[strange atlas]

wrong channel

[empty heron]

Lmao

[agile topaz]

Found this sick dragon statue I lost years ago, this is going in the setup

Might put him a little behind the monitor and hang a cable bungee off him 😂

[blazing onyx]

god i hate xfx

[empty quartz]

Mrrp

[agile topaz]

What happened

[empty quartz]

Whats wrong with xfx

[blazing onyx]

the whole bullshit with my graphics card

[agile topaz]

Oh right that was the screen flickering/crashing or am I thinking of someone else?

[empty quartz]

You say that like we know whats happening

[blazing onyx]

it blew up after a month, Ok fine,
RMA it, instead of replacing it they repair it and send it back after i pay 40 dollars for shipping

get it back, same shit in a month

[agile topaz]

OHHHH youre the guy that had an exploding gpu

They got you with the exploding gpu trick twice goddamn

[blazing onyx]

ask them for a full refund, they tell me no

if their warrenty shit is this bad, never again

im going through another warrenty system i bought with the card, asurion

no 3 days of talking back and forth and they already gave me a shipping label 🤣

[empty quartz]

You cant say an entire company is bad because of 1 bad experience

[agile topaz]

2

[blazing onyx]

2 bad experiences and the fact that they cant even fix the problem

[empty quartz]

Technically 1 since its the same card

[blazing onyx]

first time bad card, 2nd time because they refused to replace it and insisted on "fixing it" incorrectly

[empty quartz]

Not incorrectly

Just didnt fix the root cause

[blazing onyx]

exactly

i told them the card blew up, and instead of actually fixing the card, they just fixed the peice that blew up and sent it back

lazy bastards

[empty quartz]

Because thats usually how it works

[blazing onyx]

they could have at least paid for shipping if theyre gonna be that incompetant like Damn

40 dollars shipping just to get the same broken card back

[empty quartz]

When my laptop broke i had to pay for shipping 🤷‍♂️

[blazing onyx]

spent 15 minutes going through asurion's page, they already emailed me a shipping label to print and take to a UPS store for free

[agile topaz]

[agile topaz]

Well I dunno, does it stand out too much or is the white and green fine?

Either way Im keeping this thing until it dies

[plush wren]

Maybe you just need different keycaps

[agile topaz]

Maybe so

[plush wren]

red and black perhaps

[agile topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-patrick-star-patrick-animation-cartoons-gif-16276467

yeah thats a lot of money

[agile topaz]

But I do think I would like an excellent keyboard

[empty quartz]

Every time i go to vancouver i take like 20 shots per area

[agile topaz]

Aside from the headphones I currently have ($16 Astro A10 Gen 2's Ive been surviving with) my keyboard is the cheapest part of my setup

[empty quartz]

Ew

Gaming headset 🤢🤢🤢

[agile topaz]

I only even got them because they were the cheapest thing out there

[plush wren]

maybe this would look ok but idk

[agile topaz]

I have a dedicated mic but idk where the hell I put it

[plush wren]

or this

[agile topaz]

Found

[plush wren]

holy fuck $71 for keycaps

[agile topaz]

I'd rather pay $90 for a keyboard

someone was on crack making these prices

[waxen jungle]

Does anyone here have the new Dell Pro laptops? I'm looking at replacing my iPad with a laptop but I can't find that many reviews.

And no I dont want a MacBook because I already have a gaming pc

[empty quartz]

Then why do you need a laptop

[waxen jungle]

Fore better multitasking and use actual apps and gaming when I'm away.

I had a few trips this year and I got fed up with just mainly using my ipad on the go so I started looking for options.

[plain cypress]

Why not a MacBook tho

[empty quartz]

Why get a pro laptop if you’re gaming

[plain cypress]

Used M# MacBook air

[waxen jungle]

well gaming is secondary on the laptop but it would be nice. i dont want a thick gaming laptop.

[empty quartz]

Get a macbook with apple silicon

[plain cypress]

What's the Dell Pro again

Is that the XPS
Latitude?
Inspiron?

[waxen jungle]

Their new laptop series that replaced the old XPS line

[plain cypress]

Dell why did you do this to us

I'd say don't buy a new Dell as a protest of the horrendous naming scheme

[waxen jungle]

I was looking at the XPS too but I hate the capactive function keys

[waxen jungle]

Yeah i was looking at that model

[empty quartz]

Just get a macbook

[waxen jungle]

I switched away from a mac five years ago for a reason lol

[empty quartz]

They dont game the best, but they’re some of the best laptops on the market

[empty quartz]

Whats the reason?

[waxen jungle]

Oh my last mac was a 2015 macbook. used that until I built my PC.

[empty quartz]

You cannot compare a 10 year old macbook to an apple silicon macbook

[waxen jungle]

I know...

It's just going back and forth with a mac and my gaming pc would feel out of place

[empty quartz]

How

I use a pc and a mac every day

[limpid ivy]

Some people I know hate switching between operating systems which is fair. You and I are are built different I guess.

[rigid flax]

am I allowed to ask tech questions here

I need help with boot lights on a newly built pc

[trim gyro]

what have you tried so far

[random gyro]

honestly starting to consider buying an used m1 macbook

i could mod it to dualboot linux or windows or whatever...

don't know if it would be stable, though
plus i like pirating things... a lot

[ocean axle]

abso-fucking-lutely not

really, just ask, dont ask to ask

[abstract wigeon]

i like changing os cus it keeps my mind clearer if im using windows for gaming and mac/linux for productivity

more separation

[random gyro]

would you guys recommend it? for, and ive said this like 3 billion times already, the sims with shaders and a ton of mods?

[frail delta]

Just don’t buy an Intel M3 rofl

Those things sucked

[plain cypress]

Right
Only apple m3
No Intel nor bmw m3

[waxen maple]

If I buy a gutted gpu on eBay, how much would it cost to fix? (Asus rog 4090, no core or Ram) or will asus fix it if I extend warranty?

[frail delta]

lol

lmao i love that bit

[left dove]

..Please tell me that you're not serious.

You understand that the expensive bit of a gpu is the core, right

and that your inquiry to coverage of repair under "extended warranty" is called fraud, and nobody is going to fall for something so fuckin' moronic lmao

[waxen maple]

Idk I was just wondering if it was possible

Desperately trying to upgrade from a 6600xt

Asus will probably throw it away

But I guarantee you aren't RMAing a blank PCB and getting something out of it

[agile topaz]

Much less a 4090

[waxen maple]

I do, but all my money goes to rent gas and groceries 😭

[plain cypress]

There is no warranty in the world that covers a mission core and vram

[left dove]

Be happy w/ what you have I guess?

[dreamy aspen]

try any 4070 super+ card

[agile topaz]

Much less from ASUS of all companies even

[waxen maple]

That’s the plan, if not a 7800xt

ok after 5 minutes of research, i have disconsidered (???) the m1 macbook and am now considering an intel macbook pro

or just be an ai coder - they don't earn a small amount of money :D

Intel MacBook Pro exists in English language, yes

[waxen maple]

Nah 8gb sucks when I wanna play 1080p at max

[dreamy aspen]

[left dove]

so dial your settings back or get reality-checked

[random gyro]

i mean disconsidered 💔 let me look it up

[dreamy aspen]

yeah that sucks, especially if you want to max the forza 5 out

[waxen maple]

I wish

[random gyro]

it does... it looks so wrong being written

[plain cypress]

Other than Intel Macs being cheap because they're about to have software support dropped....why would you want an Intel mac

[dreamy aspen]

tried to max it out a several times on 3070 in late 2023 and the game screamed at me: TOO LITTLE VRAM!

[dreamy aspen]

fyi, 3070 wasn't my main gpu at that period as i daily drove the 4090 but for a second pc not being able to max out the details found that as disgraceful and went onto 4070 super as secondary card

[random gyro]

they're light.... and they have the cool touchbar that i always loved messing around with when i was in the apple store at the mall

[plain cypress]

I have a whole list

[frail delta]

You can get M1 macbooks with touchbars...

[plain cypress]

The touch bar is such an L

[plain cypress]

No?

[random gyro]

they're more expensive

[plain cypress]

I thought the M1 MBP was the function row sku

[random gyro]

they do exist. they stopped producing touchbars in like 2022 or something

oh yeah touchbar was a cool function but as the most of big tech they decided to remove a cool function

that's actually crazy for a smart fridge

why do those even exist anyway? what the hell would you need a smart fridge for?

[odd marsh]

I wanted AI in my fridge

ai fridge will tell you how shit your diet is

[odd marsh]

no its my lover

[left dove]

apps already do that for you.

[random gyro]

THEN WHY!!! A FRIDGE!!!!

[odd marsh]

Because the fridge talks to me

Guys so basically im getting my first pc and the combo i can go for are either rx 6600xt with a ryzen 5 3600 or a rx 6700 with a ryzen 5 3600. Also i wanted to ask would a cx550 cut it or i need more power.

[random gyro]

the only smart things that are useful are pet feeders and smart tvs

[left dove]

tiny homes, certain eating disorders, whimsical purchases..

[frail delta]

Smartphones?

[odd marsh]

the fridge is my only source of emotional connection

[plain cypress]

It's in a central location and doesn't take up counter space

[odd marsh]

not the smart TVs

[plush wren]

Eating is so mid

[left dove]

dude if you have to use a smart feeder to feed your fucking animal you don't deserve to have pets

[frail delta]

Not tiny homes, those fridges are massive

[plush wren]

Hydrating is where its at

[jaunty apex]

I'll make my own smart TV if I want one

[random gyro]

well

[plush wren]

Ok but its convenient

[left dove]

Slander, that plate of nuggies I had 5 minutes ago says otherwise

[plush wren]

(i dont have pets)

[random gyro]

yeah, that

[plush wren]

Ok well sometimes its great but hydrating is just like peak

[left dove]

You can't beat garlic pepper nuggies with a salsa dip

[random gyro]

actually no, smart tvs are useless
you can just plug in your computer to your tv, get a wireless keyboard and mouse, and watch stuff there

[plush wren]

Why would w do trhat

[left dove]

even with smart tvs I still use my chromecast because I hate the integrated hardware that hosts the tv os

[random gyro]

because it's cool
and cheaper

[jaunty apex]

Smart TVs are terrible compared to just getting a raspberry pi or smth

[odd marsh]

For SmartTVs I would use a Shield, Firestick 4K max, or apple tv

[plush wren]

What if I want to use my tv and computer at the same time

[random gyro]

i have a chromecast from years ago and i am devastated that i can't find a newer one

[left dove]

chromecast 4k is worth the $45

[left dove]

google store

[random gyro]

then you have a horrible attention span

[jaunty apex]

I want an older chromecast

[random gyro]

i say that as i did the same thing today ... BUT it was because i was earning money in a roblox game...

If you have windows 11 on one ssd and windows 10 on the other, what will happen when you launch the windows 10 ssd? I dont know which one has windows 10 in it 😭

[odd marsh]

I currently have a $30 firestick 4K max as it is one of the only streaming sticks thats supports what I need, but AppleTV is rumored to get the futures I want so hopefully I will swap to that

[plush wren]

It will boot win10

Like you want a newer manufacturing date older Chromecast?

[plain cypress]

Are you talking about the puck

[random gyro]

i got the stick chromecast

oops thought you were replying to me, my bad

[plain cypress]

I have some Chromecast ultras

[jaunty apex]

2013

[random gyro]

?!?!?!?!??!

[plush wren]

holy moly

[random gyro]

why do you even want it to be that old? what is your use case

[jaunty apex]

Figure it would be easier to use than the newer ones for me

[night granite]

idk what the cause was but apparently people think the pump on this aio is particularly loud, personally I have no issue with "loud pump"

[plain cypress]

Chromecast gen 3 is the last of the cast only models

[jaunty apex]

OK that's cast only too? I'd probably do that then

[plain cypress]

It's basically a second gen but supporting multi device audio

Alternatively I would recommend the Chromecast Ultra if you have a 4k tv

[random gyro]

holy moly i have the first gen chromecast

[jaunty apex]

Yea we have one too but mums keeping it

[plain cypress]

Honestly I'd recommend the Chromecast Ultra regardless

It has Ethernet

[frail delta]

But ideally don't buy one because I'm sure Google will brick them sooner rather than later

Or their certificate will expire

[jaunty apex]

I just don't need it actually connecting to the internet?

[plain cypress]

Oh the 3rd gen also did Ethernet

[random gyro]

the little loser
idk why it came with an extension but whatever

[left dove]

because hdmi positioning

[jaunty apex]

Ports go backwards on TVs too

[plain cypress]

Because not every TV setup is compatible with a stick

[left dove]

before tv manufacturers got their shit together

[jaunty apex]

And when they are wall mounted the stick can't really fit

[plain cypress]

They just want a dummy cast device

[frail delta]

Oh

[plain cypress]

Idk, Chromecast will eventually be killed but I think the later models are still supported

[random gyro]

ehhh

[plain cypress]

Plus it's hopefully cheap on eBay

[frail delta]

Microsoft Display Adapter, if they weren't unobtanium

From what I can tell grapheneos doesn't even do casting right so idk what I'd use

[random gyro]

oh ok no i see it

why not get a normal chromecast and then just block it from getting on WAN

[plain cypress]

Chromecast Ultra or Chromecast 4k with Google tv

[random gyro]

im a little slow guys my bad

[left dove]

the ovaloid puck one

[plain cypress]

This?

[jaunty apex]

Yea but that doesn't change that grapheneOS has no Google services at all

[left dove]

YEAH

[frail delta]

I don't think a chromecast would let you set it up without internet access

[random gyro]

my mom just always kept it in the extension even though we never needed it so i was just confused all the time

[left dove]

isn't that the entire point

[plain cypress]

It's a good question
I've never tried

[frail delta]

Because it needs to be added to the home app, no?

[random gyro]

it needs internet yip

[jaunty apex]

Best 500$ PC for heavily modded Skyrim?

[plain cypress]

Q

[left dove]

what was the one with the poo blobs in the street

had like, skyscraper tower interconnects

[tender badger]

Would 5500 or 5600 be better for the cpu

What about GPU? A770 looking good for 260 with 16gb of vram

[left dove]

YOOO IT IS

[plain cypress]

You disappoint me

[tender badger]

5500 is 68$ rn but the 5600 is 134$ I can't even find a legit looking listing for under 120$ they all look sketchy AF and are from sites I don't recognize

[plain cypress]

Poo agents

[left dove]

yeah ok wiki reader

its that and the progressive insurance building that makes me remember the game

[plain cypress]

And mega towers in cities of tomorrow expansion

[left dove]

also being annoyed at city size limitations like wtf

YEAH the mega stuff

[plain cypress]

It was so bad

I think their online servers were/are super ass which causes the limited city size

[left dove]

it was also janky af multiplayer

"multiplayer", even

[tender badger]

Is there any other cpu options I should consider?

[left dove]

many

[tender badger]

If I'm getting the a770 then that leaves me with 240 for everything else

[plain cypress]

It worked but not well

[plain cypress]

A770 is amazing but like you should probably get rx6600/6700

[tender badger]

But seeing as im playing more cpu intensive games (Minecraft, Skyrim) I'm inclined to spend more on the CPU than gpu

[formal fjord]

How long yall think 66% health nvme drive has long left?

[left dove]

do math

[tender badger]

Used 6600 are 220 rn

[plain cypress]

How TF did it get to 66% health in the first place

[formal fjord]

i bought it in 2019

[plain cypress]

Weren't they 220 new?

Like 4 years ago?

[tender badger]

Idk

[tender badger]

But scrolling through pages of Google search results, eBay, jawa gg, newegg I can only find them for 220 even checked AliExpress although not alot

[plain cypress]

Oh, 256gb would explain it

[tender badger]

Cheapest 6700 was 180 but looked like it was a fake eBay site

[formal fjord]

How long think it has lefft?

[plain cypress]

In what country?

[tender badger]

Us

[plain cypress]

Bruh

[tender badger]

The 6700 was a eBay posting though that doesn't mean anything

[plain cypress]

You can get a 3060ti for $200

You can get a 3070 for $260

$220 for a used rx6600 is so ass holy ass

[tender badger]

Yeah but they all have 8b of vram modded Skyrim chews through that shit

[plain cypress]

2080ti?

[mental mural]

Want to upgrade to am5 which one would be better price/perf.
7700 for 150 on Ali or 7500f for 100.

Gpu is 3060 planning to upgrade soon. 5070
games: beamng ,cyberpunk and the occasional triple aaa title

[tender badger]

Hmm

[plain cypress]

Do you plan to keep the CPU for a while or upgrade to a higher end model in a year or two (i.e., 9800x3d)

[mental mural]

Next upgrade would be more likely in like 3/4 years

Prob go with 1000x3d

[tender badger]

Found a listing for 235$

[plain cypress]

4 years? I'd pay the extra for 7700 now
It's only $50

[tender badger]

All the other listings seem to think the card is worth more than 400$

[plain cypress]

11gb enough?

[tender badger]

Does it make a difference if I mention I'm upgrading from a 1070?

Just in case that's important I just remembered

[left dove]

They still sell this shit pile 😂

[mental mural]

Ok that’s what I thought aswell just wasn’t fully sure just wanted a second opinion

Thanks

[tender badger]

Well the 1070 held up pretty well at 1080p with mostly 4k textures and even a few 8k so 3 extra gigs is pretty decent

And I don't really care about playing at a higher resolution

[plain cypress]

A770 is more vram
But I would expect better performance out of the 2080ti overall, if under 11gb utilized

If you go past 11gb then performance will go to shit unfortunately

[tender badger]

The lowest dip I got with my old PC i7 6700 and GTX 1070 was 40fps so it should be a stable 60 by the time I factor in cpu and the faster memory speed (old Mobo capped my ddr4 at 2133mhz yikes)

[plain cypress]

Do you have a new CPU

[tender badger]

Why would it get worse?

[tender badger]

No

I haven't chosen one I don't know what would be the best option

[plain cypress]

Spilling into system memory can make a faster card with less vram perform worse than a slower card with more vram

[tender badger]

I see ok

[plain cypress]

Now, I've never played Skyrim so idk how extreme you can make it

[tender badger]

What price should I look for

[tender badger]

You can add very intensive post processing (that can rival games that came out this year even) the highest texture made was 16k but the standard is 4k for most objects 2k for the smaller objects and 8k for the biggest ones

All in all the 11gb should be enough that even if I am exceeding my vram it shouldn't be by enough that my performance is going to turn to slideshow

Although I'm wondering if I should just increase my budget and get a 9060xt

[latent pasture]

16g yes

[blazing onyx]

9060xt will pretty much always be worth it

[tender badger]

Ok so what cpu should I go for then

[blazing onyx]

what is your budget?

[tender badger]

Is like to still stay close to 500$

[blazing onyx]

o-o

[tender badger]

But saying that I think 600-650 is better

[blazing onyx]

ok maybe not the 9060xt then

[tender badger]

Seeing as I could just barely fit a a770 in my 500$ budget than an increase in 100$ should make up for the 100$ price difference

14600k is looking spicy for 164$ tho

Out performs the 9600x in everything other than a small diff in single thread

[distant frigate]

lol yikes

My mom is getting a new work laptop

[tender badger]

Yeah the fuck did you do take a crowbar to it?

[distant frigate]

Apparently it’s an issue with the battery

[tender badger]

Gawdamnn bloating battery strikes again

[distant frigate]

Yep

[tender badger]

Y'know surely they would have thought of a solution for this problem

As it's been around for a while

[cosmic idol]

for gaming should I get a 14600k or 9600x, considering the cost of the cpu and mobo is only about 20 dollars cheaper for the 14600k + a b760m, in comparison to a 9600x and a b650m

[tender badger]

14600k

[left dove]

get a 7945hx

[cosmic idol]

wow thank you 🙏

[tender badger]

It's 164 at Walmart right now and only loses to the 9600x in single threaded rating and by the tiniest bit

[left dove]

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CNPZ874Y/

[fringe prairie]

they both perform the same in games

are you doing anything outside of gaming

[tender badger]

It's still cheaper tho

[cosmic idol]

that is cool, but also 130 bucks ish more expensive

[tender badger]

Yeah that was pretty cool

[left dove]

is it though, considering it includes a cooler and a motherboard

literally needs ddr5 sodimm and an nvme drive

[tender badger]

Mmm you can get the 14600k plus Mobo and cooler for about 400$

So yeah it is 130$ more

[left dove]

Mehh

[cosmic idol]

I have a pretty wide variety of games, minecraft probably being one of my biggest one (which we know loves single core)

I stream a little bit, do some video editing, and a decent bit of cad stuff for school and what not

[left dove]

14600k doesn't have 16c/32t

[formal fjord]

Has anyone ever tried fanxiang NVMEs?

[cosmic idol]

oh by the way I'm talking aud here !

[left dove]

e w

[cosmic idol]

😭

[odd marsh]

are you in the US

[cosmic idol]

^

[odd marsh]

ah nvm

[cosmic idol]

nop, australia !

[cosmic idol]

you're good

[left dove]

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/5720vs5232/Intel-i5-14600K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-9-7945HX get schmeared

[tender badger]

I was wrong you can get it for about 295 so much more expensive

[left dove]

MEHHHH

[tender badger]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Y3JvQd

[left dove]

give me modt

[tender badger]

Lol

[left dove]

55w mobile cpu given 100w on an itx board?? sign my ass up

[cosmic idol]

ooooooooo

and it is a decent chunk more power efficent too

[left dove]

yeah its literally a laptop chip

[tender badger]

I mean it's a mobile CPU?

Kinda given

But is it worth worth 240$ more

[left dove]

the bios sucks and there's no usbc internal header but I still want it for the crazy dense little rig I could make w/ it

[tender badger]

I mean if you're not on that tight of a budget it's a good option

[cosmic idol]

I mean I have a fixed rate power bill so power isn't a great concern for me

[left dove]

16/32, 64gb ram, 2080ti..

[cosmic idol]

btw this is all gonna be paired with a 5070ti

[cosmic idol]

considering I don't want to go ultra small form factor, hmmmm probably not

[left dove]

I have no real reason to other than I really want to

[cosmic idol]

real

[tender badger]

Lmao

[left dove]

compact lil bby machine

because i currently have a 2080ti

[tender badger]

How much should I pay for a used 2080ti?

[cosmic idol]

5 grand

[left dove]

idk like

$150??

[odd marsh]

should probably go for 9600X

[tender badger]

I was gonna mention your tag but

[cosmic idol]

lmfao

gotta live up to the name somehow

[left dove]

its lttcord, you see dumber shit than that on a daily basis;.

[cosmic idol]

yeah

also brb, gotta go hit up my psychologist 😔

[left dove]

"guys can I rma a stripped gpu board for a working gpu if i buy the extended warranty"

[tender badger]

Jesus Christ my soul

[tender badger]

Doubt it

[cosmic idol]

"guys how do I delid or lap my gpu"

[left dove]

why are you looking at used on pcpp..

[tender badger]

Just seeing a basis

It's not looking good

[left dove]

I'm roughly quoting a dingleberry from earlier

[left dove]

what basis, that's not a basis for anything relevant

[tender badger]

Hopefully GPU sellers don't get their prices from pcpp

[left dove]

go on fuckin' ebay or something for christ sake

[azure topaz]

this guy is looking on pcpp for a 6? year old gpu

[left dove]

yeah idk dude

[azure topaz]

you couldve typed ebay into the url bar instead to get a way better basis

[left dove]

hes looking at used pricing of a turing card on pcpp

my brain hurts now

[plush wren]

hot take potatoes are overrated same with cheese

[left dove]

Go sit in the corner

[plush wren]

[tender badger]

There's a 50$ 2080ti on eBay aptly titled "gas stove cars"

[azure topaz]

why would anyone buy an 800$ used 2080ti when there is significantly better newer options

[tender badger]

🤣

[plush wren]

I might just be weird but im not a fan of it

[tender badger]

Who knows

Within 5 days this crew is nearly done. This previous nokia site hasn’t been touched in nearly 10 years . Speeds were decent because At&t doesn’t have high marketshare in Linden. From atrocious pings on Nokia to now this..

Starch & cheese is like, a third of my diet

[distant frigate]

Excellent AT&T

[plush wren]

[cosmic idol]

DAMN
5070ti s on ebay from the us are like 300 dollars cheaper than here

[tender badger]

2080ti for 200$

[left dove]

carbs, cheese, veggies/fruits, & meats

[tender badger]

That's the best I could find

[left dove]

balanced diet

[cosmic idol]

fire

[tender badger]

Maybe I should come back to GPU later and do the rest of my build

[left dove]

yeah go away its food chat now

[tender badger]

Bruh

[plush wren]

truth

[left dove]

THANKS WARSHIT

[plush wren]

[cosmic idol]

how's 980 usd for a 4090

[plush wren]

that doesnt sound so legit but idek

whens the ideal waking time

[left dove]

how about $4090 for a 980ti kingpin

[plush wren]

personally i think its like 8am but i cant get myself to wake up at that time

[cosmic idol]

oh yeah seller has no ratings and has one photo of the gpu

[plush wren]

yeah does not seem so legit

[tender badger]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HkBsrM

Okay what do we think of this build?

[left dove]

why are you going for turing what

get a 5050 for christ sake

or a 5070

[tender badger]

Bruh what

[left dove]

stop actively going for a 6 year old gpu wtf my guy/gal

[tender badger]

Brother my budget is 500$ 600 max

[tender badger]

What a waste of humanity

[left dove]

Nah dude just save your money a little longer

[tender badger]

So what should I get 3060ti?

[left dove]

could probably get away with a used 4060

[tender badger]

I'll just save for the 9060xt

What cpu?

[left dove]

I didn't know I was building you a list

[tender badger]

I just don't know what cpu

[left dove]

There's this really handy thing called chatgpt and self-reliance on cross-referencing

[tender badger]

Oh I see

[left dove]

theres also #1106613567966429224

[stable beacon]

is pci e 5.0 a thing to consider yet specifically b850 chipset or go for x870(e)

[left dove]

is pci e 5.0 a thing to consider yet

Not really tbh

[latent pasture]

ironic that pcie 5.0 is more useful for people who cheap out and get the 8gb 5060ti/9060xt
u spend less money on gpu and have to spend more on mobo so ur perf doesnt get nuked

[azure topaz]

b850 should support pcie5

so should b650

[stable beacon]

do you think it may be more important later on or is am5 done at this point

[azure topaz]

am5 has 2 more major generations

[stable beacon]

more concerned about gpus, b850 only has 4 lanes

[left dove]

blasterjaxx out here covering celine dion like its no biggie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP8C5HwpRz0

[azure topaz]

pcie4x16 is more than fine for a graphics card

the cards that benefit from pcie5 only have 8 lanes but if you’re not silly you won’t buy one of tjose

[stable beacon]

technically i still have my zen 3 setup but my dad said he wanted to sponsor my next build so why not get free upgrades
