the other thing was reusing my nh d15 because it's still a good cooler and I don't want to waste it unless i could sell or trade for a more sff friendly cooler

i also probably need to get rid of a lot of ewaste now that i think about it is there a way i could get some sort of return on old hardware like my museum of chassis

i wanna use my old setup as a nas and i need an atx case with more hard drive slots than 2

i also have old blank 1tb hdds not being put to use and i would prefer having less higher capacity drives but i have these already

i just have a lot of old tech i need to tidy up

[left dove]

PNW? I'll take those 1tb drives

[plain cypress]

I have some 500gb/1tb HDDs in a box cause they're too low capacity to be useful

I also have some 500gb SSDs sitting in a bin cause SATA drives be annoying to cable manage

[stable beacon]

north Cali unless you want shipping i have anywhere from 2 to 6 i have to dig them up

i need new drives anyway so i can copy my old ones from 2005 (still can't believe they had 160gb hdds back then)

[left dove]

2-6tb?

or is that just the count of drives

[stable beacon]

technically since they are all 1tb yes to both?

[left dove]

[stable beacon]

i did try to employ some of them for my games and camera footage but i haven't gone into them in ages and i named them really weird so ill still have to sort all my data

still not sure if i put my games in hdd or ssd since they're both 1tb

[south arrow]

[thorn pewter]

Whoa

Wait Peyton new pf

[stable beacon]

is 64gb overkill im planning to use itx motherboard and won't have room to upgrade

[thorn pewter]

Most people don’t ever use 32 at max

[stable beacon]

unless using 1 stick is ok, i just want to game with it if 16 or 24 also works

[thorn pewter]

32 would be good

[clear canyon]

Depends on usecase

[clear canyon]

Never use 1 stick

[stable beacon]

so pretty much only 2x16 then? also is 28cl a big difference

[left dove]

yeah it happens every now and then

[tender badger]

Is this legit? I just found this on AliExpress:
$36.98 | AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6-Core 12-Thread 3.5GHz DDR4 3200 65W AM4 Socket Desktop Processor CPU without Cooler
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mN2ZfVp

[stable beacon]

i think used market will get you better results

[tender badger]

You think so?

[agile topaz]

Of course, and you can probably actually check to see if the cpu works

[tender badger]

85$ USD good for a 5600?

https://ebay.us/m/oFC9vU

[agile topaz]

I mean its not terrible, but I wouldnt be surprised if you could get a better cpu at that price

[tender badger]

The rest that are cheaper are parts only

On to newegg

[agile topaz]

Oh thats a 5600x

Thats pretty good, but newegg might have better

Hell, if you live near a microcenter youre pretty much a drive away from a holy grail of deals

[tender badger]

Unfortunately I live in Tennessee I think the nearest one is a 5 hour drive or smth

[agile topaz]

Ah, I suffer the same issue but I dont live near Tennessee

[tender badger]

Newegg doesn't have any good deals on am4 however they're offering 189.99$ 9600x with a free 2x8 6000mhz ddr5 kit

[agile topaz]

Thats actually very good since that DDR5 is practically free and the cpu is significantly cheaper than usual

However its 16gb of ddr5, Id be concerned if you actually benefit from that kit

[latent pasture]

its also useless

[agile topaz]

Exactly what I was sayin

16gb of ddr5 is half of what you need in the modern era, and those two sticks are gonna do more harm than help

But since the 9600x is usually like 220-240, they're practically paying you to take it

[tender badger]

Yeah but I'm playing Minecraft, Skyrim, fortnite when will I be using more than 16gb

So if it saves me money then

[agile topaz]

Well if youre doing that and not paying for the ram, I dont see why not

Its still good speed

Just itty bitty in quantity and kinda useless for any non indie game released since 2023

[tender badger]

Yeah lol but I can always upgrade to 32gb if I get a Mobo with 4 slots or just get a different 2 slot kit later on

[stable beacon]

is there a difference between b650 and b850 they sound like they just used an updated version of the same chip

[tender badger]

Bro I need micro center

The deals are too powerful

[stable beacon]

one dropped in my city literally not even 2 months ago

[tender badger]

Should I try any nearby E waste places?

[stable beacon]

supposedly there used to be another one that turned into Walmart in 2012 , ancient history

[stable beacon]

i have tons i need to get rid of

[tender badger]

I might be able to find a free case and CPU cooler

[tender badger]

Tons of what?

[stable beacon]

4 cases plus random shit

[tender badger]

What are my chances of finding something useful for my build at an e waste?

[thorn pewter]

Yayayayaya

[tender badger]

Is a working psu likely?

If I could snag a free psu, case and CPU cooler I could get rich quick lol

[shell crow]

dont pick up a random psu and assume its gonna work

[terse sigil]

I'd appreciate it if someone could help me out with my emergency #1387982236846129232

[stable beacon]

why don't people do a "ominous black box" pc and instead do rgb and white accents/all white

also mesh or glass side panels

[latent pasture]

people who talk about pcs online are more likely to buy pretty pcs
what u dont hear is that like theres 5x more ominous black box office pcs sold than people doing diy
those people dont talk abt them in the first place, even though make up most of desktop pcs

[stable beacon]

i thought most people use primarily laptops and the ones that don't use really old grandma ones, i meant mostly builds where it's intentional

[agile topaz]

Generally its because RGB increases performance significantly

[stable beacon]

put them under your car, blue is the best color and comes with free law enforcement

[agile topaz]

You know Ive been experiencing something odd

Ever since I set my rgb to red Ive my gpu's been 6 degrees colder than when it was white

Im sure its completely unfuckinrelated

But Im gonna say thats why its cooler

[latent pasture]

ye laptops sell way more than desktop pcs
but even within the minority that is desktop pcs, prebuilts also sell way more than diy
diy is a very loud minority of a minority

[empty quartz]

i love looking at reviews on the interwebz

[stable beacon]

i did make a sleeper case once but it was pain and i ended up discarding it

[agile topaz]

I feel more and more proud of myself for being part of that minority

[agile topaz]

Sick airfryer

[empty quartz]

im part of multiple pc miorities

[stable beacon]

i find a lot of pc users more than i expect like some of my teachers

[empty quartz]

Super tower
custom loop with multiple 480mm radiators

5tb of internal storage

[split laurel]

For content creation what's better a 6750xt or 16gb 9060xt?

[empty quartz]

i would recommend neither

[latent pasture]

9060xt 16gb obv

better newer and more vram
how is that even a question

but if ur actually serious abt cc and earn money from it go get nvidia
so much less hassle in getting stuff to work and you can pay it over time anyway

[empty quartz]

arc b580 if you plan on just doing content creation

they can game too

[split laurel]

Its for my friend and he's not 100% he wants to try it out so he could always sell the amd card if he really got into it

[empty quartz]

tell him intel arc cards are great for CC

[latent pasture]

if its just basic recording editing etc mostly anything is fine
i do that on my igpu laptop

[split laurel]

Yeah but he also wants more gaming power then a b580

Even tho the b580 is peak

[empty quartz]

the b580 is not weak

[split laurel]

Yeah

Like 1080p

[empty quartz]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/arc-b580.c4244 @split laurel

[latent pasture]

then 6750xt is out, cuz b580 performs abt very close

[split laurel]

For YouTube videos lol

[plain cypress]

why the long case

[empty quartz]

goofy scaling

i still need to get a gigabyte thunderbolt card and an asus thunderbolt card

and then set up my kvm to not have to use vga on my monitors

[split laurel]

So there's a good deal on a pc with a 6750xt and 7600x so I told him to buy that then sell the 6750xt and buy a newer card for editing he can get like $299 for it

[empty quartz]

or dvi

[plain cypress]

did I miss Intel Arc shill time?

[empty quartz]

yes

@plain cypress i actually bought a b580 btw

[split laurel]

He could have bought a 9070 if they where even close to msrp

[split laurel]

I have a limited edition on my shelf bros retired now

[plain cypress]

mmmm arch my beloved

[split laurel]

A750*

[latent pasture]

3800x andy

[empty quartz]

i was about to say...

[plain cypress]

3800x is in 65w eco mode jail

[empty quartz]

if someone retired a b580 already, i would've cried

[split laurel]

Yeah lol I upgraded to a 9070xt bc 8gb vram wasn't enough for 1440p

It was bad

[plain cypress]

my a750 is in the server

[empty quartz]

i like my b580 for my workstation

[plain cypress]

my b580 is on my desk

[split laurel]

Idk what to do with mine

Its pretty to look at tho

[empty quartz]

my workstation is probably the most overkill dust collector

on this server*

[split laurel]

Intel cards look so amazing

Limited edition

I want to buy the dual Intel gpu

Lmao I couldn't even game on that

Well I could

[split laurel]

Peak

I should rly buy the limited edition b580

$400 later tho

[empty quartz]

@plain cypress @split laurel

[split laurel]

Bro how much ram you need

[empty quartz]

256gb ddr4

[split laurel]

OMG

😭

[empty quartz]

the funny thing, this system is currently collecting dust

havent had the time or money to get the last couple of things i need

[tender badger]

Should I? I have a 1070 currently and the rtx 2080ti is like 60% faster than it on top of a cpu, I already have decent 32gb ddr4 kit from my last pc

[split laurel]

Bruh

[empty quartz]

2 thunderbolt cards, (maybe) a capture card, and some proper adapters

[grizzled frost]

ahem

[empty quartz]

is that system collecting dust just sitting on the floor though?

[grizzled frost]

No, it is not

[empty quartz]

not even being used

[plain cypress]

not quite up to date picture of the server (swapped the gtx 960 for A750)

[empty quartz]

my workstation is (unfortunately)

[split laurel]

I only got 48gbs😭

[grizzled frost]

i’ll take it off your hands if you don’t want it

[empty quartz]

i do also want a triple monitor arm tho

[vocal drum]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caU0RG0mNHg

This is somehow Linus's fault right?

[empty quartz]

no, I'm just waiting for my next payday

[plain cypress]

I should probably rebuild the 12700k while I wait for newegg parts exchange

[grizzled frost]

in your desktop?

[split laurel]

Yeah

[grizzled frost]

big difference between desktop and workstation/server ram capacities

[empty quartz]

@split laurel better than me

[grizzled frost]

my desktop only has 96GB

[empty quartz]

my main system only has 32

i genuinely need more

[plain cypress]

my work laptop only has 16gb 🙄

[grizzled frost]

i really need to upgrade to 128GB

[plain cypress]

my work laptop took an hour and a half to process a CSV earlier

[empty quartz]

my laptop that i use for editing only has 16gb

[split laurel]

Well its 2 different kits but it only crashes like 1 time every other month lmao

[grizzled frost]

my server crashes if you look at it funny

[empty quartz]

@plain cypress my laptop actually has the predecessor to alchemist

[grizzled frost]

so i keep it in a closed off room

[split laurel]

Damn

[empty quartz]

intel dg1 makes alchemist look stable

(which is saying something)

[grizzled frost]

said server is at the bottom

[plain cypress]

alchemist was very stable for the last year I was using it

it was not performant, however

[empty quartz]

when alchemist first came out though, it had alot of issues

[plain cypress]

oh for sure

but they improved quickly all things considered

[empty quartz]

alot of which, came from dg1. luckily not all the dg1 issues got passed over

[plain cypress]

when I got my A750 i only experienced 2-3 months of instability

[empty quartz]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/iris-xe-max-graphics.c3737 @plain cypress this is the card my laptop has

[plain cypress]

rest was smooth sailing, again, when the overall performanc was adequate

[empty quartz]

(its not an igpu, everyone confuses it for the similarly named igpu "iris xe")

[plain cypress]

the fuck does "Intel Iris XE Graphics eligible" mean

[left dove]

ask intel, you work for them

[empty quartz]

wait

[plain cypress]

wait

[empty quartz]

@plain cypress you work for intel?

"while mitigating risks" i.e. we keep a vast workforce on contractual retainer so if they do something dumb we can tell them to fuck off and not have to worry about anything

I hate c-suite speak

[plain cypress]

I guess there are 2 kinds of green badges

1 is an intel contractor who "works for intel" but is employeed by a 3rd party staffing agency'

the other is a 3rd party worker who is an employee of a different company, but doing work at intel

i.e., in the fab industry, the fabs have their own employees, and the suppliers (equipment manufacturers) have their own workforce who does work full time or part time in customer fabs

i am the latter

[plain cypress]

:(

we don't qualify for free coffee nor fruit

[left dove]

whAT

no free apples??

I'd be demanding a free coffee, yogurt, and a banana every day

[plain cypress]

back to the topic at hand
guess my laptop igpu (1265U) is more powerful than my desktop igpu (12700K)

[left dove]

ok but there's an injustice here being you not getting free fruit

[plain cypress]

true

[left dove]

if they can afford to lay a bunch of people off they can afford to give their contractor employees free fruit & coffee

Can i install a i7 12gen on my
Msi pro b760m-a wifi ddr4???

Upgrading from a i5 12400f

Also planning to buy a aio cooler

[latent pasture]

yes but not worth it imo

especially since ur on ddr4

any more money spent on this platform is wasted unless u found the i7 for extreme cheap

[worldly mason]

I dont really care with ddr 4 yes i do know itll not be as fast as ddr5 but i just need better rendering time for my pc on davinci resolve

Pluss finding ddr5 in my area right is like finding a needle on a bucket of hay yes its possible but odds are itll prick ya with the price

I could certainly order online but knowing theres a lot of scam going on in my country

Replacing motherboards with none working ones or another one heck even a tile best part its the people in custom's who does it

Only good choice is just going to a pc shop and as of now its quite rare to find a decent board

First you get a flash drive

Then you get Windows from here - https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows11

Then you download windows to the flash drive

Put the flash drive into the laptop

Boot from the flash drive

Format the laptop drive and install Windows

[swift kestrel]

How do i stop my laptop from power limit throttle

It already runs around 76c on a stress test

So there's no thermal throttling

[gusty wagon]

Unlock it in the bios if the manufacturer allows you

if it doesn't it means that they can't let you do that because it's illegal

[swift kestrel]

Im on an Acer nitro are they known to let you do that

[gusty wagon]

the surface of a laptop must be below a certain temperature to prevent laps and hands from burning, usually 50C or 55C

I'd say go fish around in your bios and see

[swift kestrel]

I'm gonna be honest and straight forward I've never touched the bios

What key is spammed

[gusty wagon]

Search up the model of your laptop with the word "bios" behind

[swift kestrel]

Alr

[gusty wagon]

Sometimes it's F2, F12, Del, F7, F10, etc

[swift kestrel]

Says f2 so I'll see

Do I restart or shut-down

[gusty wagon]

restart

[frail delta]

Spamming the bios key usually just makes things slower

Just have to press it once

Patience is a virtue

Hey guys I need help with my Headset mic not working, I can hear but doesnt let me talk. Says its “working properly”

[gusty wagon]

Well I'm an idiot

I actually thought my Bluetooth keyboard was gonna do smth

Smh

[gusty wagon]

go into windows audio in settings and select your headset as an audio input

Bluetooth peripherals will only work after the OS has started

Wireless peripherals are treated as regular wired usb so those work better

[swift kestrel]

Wow the bios looks like smth from the 90's

[swift kestrel]

Is this it?

[gusty wagon]

Yep

[swift kestrel]

Where next

I don't think I can do it, there's no settings related to clock speeds

If you don't see any wattage or power or TDC / PPT / EDC settings then it's bios limited

Grey market imports will often have these issues, I bet in the warranty terms it says it's only valid in country of distribution or something

[frosty prism]

doesnt say that anywhere in the listing

just says 10 year warranty

Yes, but there would be actual warranty terms and conditions

Hello new here, I dont know any other tech discord so this seems that it would be the perfect one to join.

Want to know is it possible to add an option to open the Windows Clipboard History to the right click context menu?

[frail delta]

Just use windows v

[keen urchin]

I know that's the default. You just discard my question entirely

[frail delta]

What context menu do you want it in

You would just add it in registry (depending on whether you want it in the file or folder context menu)

Or I guess there’s the desktop one too. There’s probably more

[keen urchin]

Either one of those sections

[frail delta]

You would add a sub key in hkey classes root\directory\background\shell (maybe shellex) \contextmenuhandler
And set the value to whatever exe or command opens the clipboard history

Apparently it’s "C:\Windows\SystemApps\InputApp_cw5n1h2txyewy\WindowsInternal.ComposableShell.Experiences.TextInput.InputApp.exe"

[limber ocean]

is this a good channel to ask for help/tips on upgrading?

[terse sparrow]

Sure, what do you need?

[spring latch]

2+2=4 is not correct. It should be "2+2=4" as it is grammatically correct and conveys the same meaning as the original sentence.

[limber ocean]

my goal is to stream and game on 1 PC. im unsure if my PC is outdated but im unable to do both with good performance. i have a-

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti
CPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-11900K @ 3.50GHz
RAM: 64.0 GB
Motherboard: Z590 PRO WIFI (CEC) (MS-7D09)
Storage (4): SSD- 931.5 GB,SSD- 1.8 TB,+2 HDD more

[winter lantern]

Its better then consoles so not badly outdated

[limber ocean]

well if i was to up grade what should i do?

[rigid fjord]

this could easily do as you intend, but if you're going to upgrade anything it will be the cpu, mobo and ram all at once

[unkempt jackal]

is 270 us good for this used config
•CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (8 cores, 16 threads)
•GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (equivalent to RTX 3060)
•RAM: 16GB DDR4 3600MHz
•Storage: 500GB SSD
•800W Aftershock Novacare PSU
•A520M DS3H AC (wifi motherboard)

[rigid fjord]

yes, i'd end up swapping out the psu if you get it

[limber ocean]

where do you guys shop for PC parts? or builds

[rigid fjord]

whatever site i tend to use

so ebay, amazon, scan, overclockers uk, awd-it

[winter lantern]

All the the upgrades are pretty expensive gpus

Like 9070xt and 5070ti level

[rigid fjord]

the 3080ti is still good to use, it doesn't need upgrading tbh, it would be the mobo, cpu and ram

[terse sparrow]

Are you utilizing NVENC decoding since you have an Nvidia GPU? That should stream and play games fine tbh

[winter lantern]

The 5000 series is probably the last series anyways

So no reason too upgrade

[limber ocean]

i have no clue what that is.

[terse sparrow]

Are you using OBS to stream?

[limber ocean]

OBS

[rigid fjord]

nvidia's equivalent to h.264 encoder

[limber ocean]

oh, yes.

[rigid fjord]

the worst bit of his build tbh is the cpu, it's a space heater than claims to be a cpu

[terse sparrow]

Ok, I'd look around YouTube specifically for Nvidia setting to get the most out of your hardware. NVENC uses dedicated hardware on your 3080ti to take the streaming load of your CPU with minimal performance impact.

[limber ocean]

thank you SM

[terse sparrow]

Np ^^

[winter lantern]

All that power for nothing

🥀

[rigid fjord]

quite literally

[limber ocean]

so my CPU is holding me back?

[terse sparrow]

I think it's fine for your use case tbh

[winter lantern]

I lowkey feel like i have the worse unironc bottleneck

1650 super and 13900kf is crazy

I never seen more then 40% cpu usages

Everyone is atleast 90% gpu

[rigid fjord]

they could do so much better with the likes of a 13600k + ddr5 + b760 mobo tbh, or a 7800x3d+b650 +ddr5

[terse sparrow]

Depends on the budget tbh. But I'd avoid raptor lake chips

[limber ocean]

i wish it was easy to find these parts and builds. so many conflicting POV.

[sour storm]

woha..........might go for it

[rigid fjord]

what country?

[sour storm]

it's perfect

[limber ocean]

USA

[rigid fjord]

should be super easy to find then

[winter lantern]

U made it sound like you were in some eastern European country

[limber ocean]

How?

[winter lantern]

Being hard to get them

Its not hard to get pc parts its just cringe

[swift moss]

Does anyone or @rigid fjord Know if the STA311B has room eq or just biquad effects? I literally cant find a proper 5.1 DSP with room eq that isn't an mcu I would have to program myself. Minidsp compatibility would be nice too

[limber ocean]

i didnt mean it was hard, i just think its so confusing because of all the brands and specs. idk anything about anything. i just know my PC spikes, lags, loses frames

[last mural]

What setting do I gotta change I don’t know much

[winter lantern]

Yeah its confusing like that

[winter lantern]

If a problem cant be solved with factory resetting with a boot drive you're cooked 🥀

[last mural]

Aw he’ll why

What does ts mean

[sour storm]

is this build a build?

[mental mural]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/Vr7MnQ/asrock-b850m-x-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b850m-x

would this mobo be alright for a r7 7700 and then a 10 series chip later on ?

[sour storm]

mgith replace the cpu with this

[sour storm]

the x is cheaper than the normal one

[kindred halo]

1650S on a 13900KF </3

[winter lantern]

Fr

[kindred halo]

I love Turing as much as the next guy but a 1650S? </333

[winter lantern]

A 1650s works

[sour storm]

i can apearently update bios on the tuf b650 plus wifi without cpu?

[winter lantern]

Just not good

[kindred halo]

It does, but come on </3

[rigid fjord]

sn580 instead of the sn850x, and no you don't need to go for a 9600x, it has the same performance as a 7600x while being more costly

[sour storm]

alright

i trust you

[kindred halo]

.. That's not what it means

[winter lantern]

Atleast the monitor is good

[rigid fjord]

read the manual for the board, it will tell you if it has a flashback button

[kindred halo]

I am pretty sure you still need a CPU to update BIOS usually

[sour storm]

yeah i know, but i just wanted to show the manual

[rigid fjord]

totally fine for it

[last mural]

Enabled csm now I’m good I think

[winter lantern]

You need to see to update bios anyways

[kindred halo]

Isn't the flashback button to revert the BIOS to default settings?

Not default ver (I think) but default operational settings?

[sour storm]

im extremnely excited

got the case chosen and now i have the full build ready on paper

[rigid fjord]

lol, no, it allows you to update the bios on a single button press without having a cpu and ram in the mobo

[winter lantern]

My computer sometimes has weird static squares but its fixed when it's restarted is that bad

[kindred halo]

That's.. Interesting
Why have I never heard of this

[kindred halo]

Good luck with the build :3

[sour storm]

if i plan things correctly i'll have all the parts within 2 months or so

[kindred halo]

Hopefully 9060 XT prices settle closer to MSRP by then

[rigid fjord]

it's common on multiple intel boards and became more common on multiple amd boards after the b550 chipset

[sour storm]

yeah would be nice...though the diffrence between the rx 7600 and 9060 is like 40 eur

[rigid fjord]

a greater performance difference also

[sour storm]

so it's worth it?

[kindred halo]

Mhm

[rigid fjord]

the 9060xt is yes

[sour storm]

in like little over a month i'll be orderign the cpu and gpu together, since tax returns come in then

[kindred halo]

Huh, interesting

I thought I needed to ask the store I am purchasing from to manually update the BIOS lmao

[sour storm]

then like 240 eur and i have psu ram and cooler

[kindred halo]

Quick note on the PSU

[winter lantern]

Amd would never

[kindred halo]

I think for the same price, you can get an A850GL?

[sour storm]

gonna take a small bit but by end of the year it should be finished at the veryleast

[rigid fjord]

nope, this is why you always RTFM

[kindred halo]

B Tier, fully modular

[winter lantern]

Trust me this is the best psu fr

[kindred halo]

You're assuming I have enough braincells to know what RTFM means (give me a second)

[winter lantern]

People act like c tier is a bomb

[kindred halo]

Ah

[winter lantern]

Where even is the psu tier list

[sour storm]

after gpu and cpu a bit over 300 eur to go

[rigid fjord]

not worth it when it's only a 9060xt

[kindred halo]

Read The Fucking Manual
That makes sense

[kindred halo]

Same price iirc, that's why I am recommending it

[sour storm]

what is the nvidia equivalent of 9060xt out o fcuriosity

also hate the new naming scheme

[winter lantern]

I didnt even the lock switches

[winter lantern]

5060ti

[sour storm]

huh

[winter lantern]

Is it not?

They both do the same niche

[rigid fjord]

roughly a 4060ti/5060ti

[sour storm]

yeaah if it is then this is gonna be a biiig jump from current pc

[kindred halo]

SPL

[winter lantern]

Make sure it says 16gb

So it will probably be like 100$ more but its worth

[sour storm]

i will

[kindred halo]

Although tbf I am a bit justified in not knowing it
I've never owned a board that had a bios flash

[sour storm]

eh again original choise was 7600 16gb and this is just 40 euros more

[kindred halo]

The B85m manual is nowhere to be seen and is probably in Chinese

[winter lantern]

Whats spl 🥀

[sour storm]

shouldnt look too small in the case either

[kindred halo]

The other board is an LGA 1155 board, no bios flash

[kindred halo]

Lemme grab it rq

[sour storm]

the gpu is sagging in the image

[winter lantern]

My mb didn't have a bios update and its an lga 1700

[kindred halo]

[sour storm]

gotta find some monitor arms and some not excessively pricey monitors

at somepoint

[kindred halo]

A decent budget option I've seen is the MP251 E2

120Hz, 1080p 21.5in, sub 100 US

But there's also lots of better options

[sour storm]

wont be able to get new monitors at first which is not the end of the world imo

[kindred halo]

So best to deal hunt in your area

[kindred halo]

Do you have one already?

[sour storm]

i have monitors but they are old

[kindred halo]

You can also use your phone as a screen of you want lol

[kindred halo]

How old

[sour storm]

old

but like..when most games dont run at 60 fps 60 fps is really only thing i need at first

[winter lantern]

Mine says platinum and is a popular brand so im prob fine

[sour storm]

i know someone is gonna chew me out for not ahving like..matching monitors or some shit but free was free and i grew up not getting everything new so not the end of the world

finally have a chance to get a buncha shit i wanted when i was a kid

[winter lantern]

I wonder if these have speakers unlike my moniter that was 1500 at lauch

[sour storm]

aux jacks for the fujitsu but the samsung is a tv so it has built in speakers

idk why but i feel oddly sad thinking about replacing this stuff

[winter lantern]

I have a samsung and it has no speakers

Ive just been using no sound

[sour storm]

why am i attached to them so hard

[winter lantern]

I use my ear buds

Or connect to my tv

I dont have an spare surge protector/adapter

[sour storm]

i hate this, feeling like im about to cry

[winter lantern]

Bro hasn't even done anything yet

[rigid fjord]

efficiency rating != good product

[winter lantern]

[sour storm]

i know!!....

[rigid fjord]

same thing different combo

[winter lantern]

Bro didnt even get a /

Using a 40% keyboard or something

[rigid fjord]

because it's not needed for the one i used

[sour storm]

maybe i'll repurpose the old stuff for something

[rigid fjord]

i also use a full sized keyboard

[kindred halo]

Which one

[winter lantern]

I actually cant find it online but ill just say what the psu says

[sour storm]

ngl i wish iso layout would be a bit more popular for custom keyboards

[winter lantern]

When i look it up its just not what I have

[sour storm]

serious question, why is ansi the way it is

[winter lantern]

seasonic prime px-1300

I have a feeling it'll be fine

[kindred halo]

One second

[kindred halo]

A-

[winter lantern]

Google sheets on phone was NOT doing it

[kindred halo]

I am mobile aswell

Just opening it using chrome

[winter lantern]

Anyways my 12$ 1650 goes crazy

I love a roblox machine

[upper abyss]

raukooo help me decide

do i get the 5070ti gamerock for 900€ which i find looks way better (fan design) but i cant see the front anyways

or do i get the amp infinity which is 930€ and has a better backplate/side profile

[sinful cobalt]

get a vgpu mount

[upper abyss]

cant

case aint made for it and i didnt know

[kindred halo]

WHAT

[winter lantern]

I got it for 12$

From this server actually

A guy was giving one away and I just needed to pay shipping

[kindred halo]

Oh that's nice lmao

[hollow sorrel]

I shouldn't get a rtx 5050 should I

[winter lantern]

No

Wait 5050 isnt a laptop gpu?

[hollow sorrel]

I don't think it is

[winter lantern]

Tf

[hollow sorrel]

No there's some desktop 5050s

Well that confirms my leaning towards eitther the 9060 xt or the 7800 xt

[winter lantern]

Its worse than a 4060

💔

[rough wing]

I have a 9070 what RTX card should I trade it for?

[upper abyss]

why trade it lmao

[rough wing]

Why not

[upper abyss]

because you might come out at a loss

because its used hardware

and nvidia you pay a premium for same Performance

[rough wing]

It’s the non xt unfortunately still a really good card tho

[upper abyss]

yup

im gonna get nvidia but i have my reasons

unless you have a reason to swap, just dont

[rough wing]

What even performs close to it? 5070?

[upper abyss]

5070 is even a lil worse i think

[rough wing]

Hmmm

Well it can't fix hardware issues

And it has worked for me before

[sinful cobalt]

5070 is the closest tier to it

9070 is a 4070ti ish in terms of horsepower

[timber pike]

@flint elm I had dmd you smth

[ebon marlin]

Gonna go pick up a Oneplus 13R soon gonna be a nice upgrade from my 12R with the inclusion of a telephoto lens

Getting it brand new in box for 275€ while I can still sell my 12R for around the same price point

Most likely 25€ less than I get the 13R so a nice upgrade for 25€

• no more fuck ass curved screen

That's why I'm going to go get an upgrade for almost free

[terse sparrow]

Calm down, children

[sinful cobalt]

Pro tip: Dont spend ur money on the latest iPhone Pro Max

Instead, use that money on the latest xx90 tier graphics card!

[plush wren]

still wont be able to Zoom in

https://tenor.com/view/cat-calm-coffee-gif-2708113315709123064

[sinful cobalt]

iphones absolutely get destroyed when it comes to zoom clarity

i h8 that fact

[ebon marlin]

That's because Apple cheaps out on the sensors

Doesn't the 16 Pro Max only have like a 48mp sensor

[sinful cobalt]

yea

[ebon marlin]

Also just now the 16 Pro Max also got an upgrade on the telephoto camera going from a 2x lens to a 5x lens

[sinful cobalt]

i tried my 14 pro 15x zoom the other day and it would absolutely get gapped

[terse sparrow]

I thought iPhone cameras were pretty good? (I haven't had an iPhone since the iPhone 8)

[sinful cobalt]

in terms of further zoom and text clarity

[sinful cobalt]

heard they are generally better for videos

[ebon marlin]

The cameras are poop it's just the processing the phone does to make them look actually good

I just recently played around with a 15 Pro Max since I repaired one and holy shit how awful the camera looks like compared to my budget flagship phone

Just using default photo settings my Oneplus 12R pictures looked significantly better than the 15 Pro Max's pictures

Both use lots of image processing but still after allat the 15 PM still lost

[sinful cobalt]

which is why getting a RTX xx90>lastest pro mac

[ebon marlin]

What the fuck

There's a woman Infront of me with a Microsoft Copilot hoodie

5050 real?

[formal prism]

indeed

[clear canyon]

Yes and its ewaste

[raven scroll]

It didn’t even release yet bruv

[clear canyon]

Just look at the specs

And the claims from nvidia

[raven scroll]

Did they confirm a price

[clear canyon]

Its literal ewaste

[clear canyon]

$250

[raven scroll]

Cuz shit is def gonna be cheap

[clear canyon]

Its not cheap

[raven scroll]

Hell nah fam

[clear canyon]

And it sucks 130 watts for how weak it is

[plush wren]

Hi team

[raven scroll]

Could be shit or decent

It’s a 50 50 chance

Most likely shit

Why is nvidia even still trying to make new budget gpus

They should only stick to high end

[rose stream]

Leftovers to get rid of probably. Lol.

[clear canyon]

Horid take

We need worth while lower end gpus

[raven scroll]

Fair enough

[rose stream]

Soooooooo AMD's then. Okay.

Lmao.

[raven scroll]

Nvidia lower end gpus aren’t even bad, just hated because of the pricing compared to the competition

[formal prism]

2560 cuda cores, 8gb vram, 320GB/s mem bandwidth. back in my day this was a gtx 1080 👴

[clear canyon]

1080 is just too weak now days to keep up

[raven scroll]

At least optimum is getting more single fan gpu options lol

[clear canyon]

No low profile ones tho bc it requires an 8pin

[rough wing]

No fans yet hes still trying to figure out the gpu aligment

[clear canyon]

Then send a picture

"Gpu" is too vague

[raven scroll]

Beat it into submission

[rigid flax]

Sorry for not clarifying the GPU doesn't align with the slots for the video outputs

I'll have to ask him for a picture brb

[raven scroll]

Lian li also has discord server btw

[iron glen]

for some reason i think they want the model, not sure tho

[harsh vector]

Is there a way to alt tab while games are in fullscreen without the screen going black and the window sizes changing?

I cant play Resident Evil games with HDR without having to go fullscreen

[raven scroll]

They’re not that active tho

[rigid flax]

it might be the GPU its the Dell 4080

[raven scroll]

Does the screen going black break smth

Dell?

[kindred halo]

Oh wow, VR headsets are surprisingly cheap

[rigid flax]

but to me it looks like a 4080 unless dell does its proprietary shenanigans on the cards aswell

[iron glen]

the Dell RTX 4080 graphics card released by Dell

[kindred halo]

314 for a Quest 3S 128gb, 374 for a 256GB

[rigid flax]

Came off a Alienware prebuilt

[iron glen]

do you mean an optiplex 4080 or something

[rough wing]

You love to see it

Wifi btw

[raven scroll]

I sense proprietary

[clear canyon]

Gpus are not proprietary

[raven scroll]

[clear canyon]

They just have custom coolers and bios

[raven scroll]

I’ve never heard of a dell 4080

[clear canyon]

I have

[rigid flax]

Yeah they are having an alignment issue the gpu is fine it boots and everything ill have to get a picture from my friend

You can't get something more modern for 500

[raven scroll]

Don’t we all wanna get something more modern

Save up

I am modern

[clear canyon]

Not an option

500$ is all I can save up

How much do you cost

Duh 🙄

[clear canyon]

You gotta, there is no options that wont waste your money

[clear canyon]

i oc my gpu yesterday and now sometimes artifacts appear yay

[clear canyon]

No

1080ti is not worth more than 120$

[true stirrup]

Not stable then

Lower the OC

[clear canyon]

You went too far, reduce it some

[tender badger]

Bruh

[clear canyon]

Like we said, save up

[tender badger]

How much is a 2080ti worth?

[true stirrup]

230-250$ish

[frigid topaz]

i removed it fully now, not worth loosing gpu just for 6% performance

[clear canyon]

Computers are expensive currently, you gotta save up to get something worth while

[true stirrup]

Did you even run any stress tests while overclocking?

[frigid topaz]

yeah furmark

[clear canyon]

Thats dumb, just reduce it some

You need all you can get, its a 1050ti

[tender badger]

Brother I could not give a shit about longevity of whatever I just want to play modded Minecraft, Skyrim and some fortnite

[frigid topaz]

i get over 60 fps in dayz and thats all i need

games 12 years old

[clear canyon]

Then go waste your money, dont waste our time if you want to be reckless

[clear canyon]

Lol

[tender badger]

And the 1080ti is still able to play any game at 1080p low 60fps as long as it doesn't require ray tracing

So how is it a waste of money?

[frigid topaz]

medium setting with ultra TAA

[clear canyon]

Its literally about to lose support, dont come to us asking for advice when you are just gonna ignore it and buy what ever

[livid fern]

Psu is bomb 🙂

[frigid topaz]

isnt it only dx 12.1?

[ebon marlin]

Amazing thumbnail

[somber star]

to be honest i agree with you if it meets your needs and you don't need anything more then why spend more, for me I only swapped from my 1080ti to the 4090 just as the 5090 launched and for a solid 7.5 years it was a great card and now lives in my nas as as i had it spare was thinking about putting it into a tv gaming box tbh as like you said 60 fps is just fine especaily for a tv

[ebon marlin]

Also the Li-ion image is fake there's no iphone where the battery looks like that

[frigid topaz]

lmao

[clear canyon]

Awful take, the gpu is literally about to be on legacy support

No one should be buying one

[frigid topaz]

next video, bring a galaxy note 7 on a plane

the real battery durability test

[tender badger]

How does legacy support hurt the card in older titles?

[clear canyon]

Bc its old

[latent gull]

Most people won’t play old titles forever

[tender badger]

Bro can't even give a good explanation 😂

[clear canyon]

No, you just are not understanding

Iv literally explained it already

[tender badger]

I'm not most people I play Skyrim and Minecraft

[latent gull]

(That’s most people)

[tender badger]

And u don't understand needs and budget

[clear canyon]

Again, go buy what ever the fuck you want. Dont ask for help here if you are gonna ignore it

Waste of time

[tender badger]

I don't need a system that will keep up with modern titles nor do I have the option for a higher budget

[tender badger]

Other people in this discord were more understanding and helpful than you I think your just an ass

[clear canyon]

Then dont ask for help

[clear canyon]

No, we all said the same thing

[ebon marlin]

Basically an almost free upgrade from my 12R

[tender badger]

You and no one else

I see one person who half ass agrees with you

I'm not saying your wrong in general, you are very much right but my situation doesn't need for modern solutions

[frigid topaz]

no idea

[ebon marlin]

How do u not know how much you pay for ur phone plan

[frigid topaz]

im not the one paying

[ebon marlin]

Are u in the US

[frigid topaz]

no

[somber star]

that can be your opinion but just because it will not get any driver support dosnt just make it a papper weight.

[ebon marlin]

Huh that's interesting I only see those type of plans only in NA

Unless you live in canada?

[frigid topaz]

it might me like 20 a month

for 2 years

[ebon marlin]

20 a month is amazing since that's what I pay for my just the internet plan

But it's unlimited data

150 or 200mbps 5G

Unlimited data also overseas

Which is very handy as I travel often

[frigid topaz]

i think we pay 200 for wifi and 3 phones and 3 sim cards

all 3 on payment plan

[ebon marlin]

We pay less than half of that for 3 phones and coax that does 600mbps

All 3 phones on unlimited data plan at domestic and overseas

[somber star]

most of ther games people play on steam are 8 years old at this point if not older

[frigid topaz]

well im in belgium

best wifi provider and yet they cant build optic fiber in my town

[ebon marlin]

I'm in an old building so best they got was coax

But it's like 600mbps for 25 a month

[clear canyon]

It is gonna be a paper weight, its a very old card

[frigid topaz]

my house is from 1920s so idk what we use

[ebon marlin]

25 a month we used to pay for 100mbps previously for one of those SIM router plans

[frigid topaz]

my provider says my wifi is up to 100mbps but it was never ever over 80 and its usually 40

[latent gull]

Sure. But there’s a few things that might skew that statistic. They’re likely cheaper and far easier to run. IMO, yes a lot of people play those cause they enjoy them, but there’s probably a significant portion that play them cause that’s all they can play or all they can afford

[ebon marlin]

Yeah up to

Never fall for the "up to" scam

[ebon marlin]

You're rarely ever gonna even see the advertised mark

Most likely never

[plush wren]

Mine is upto 250 and Its usually 220-230

https://tenor.com/view/cat-clapping-cat-silly-silly-cat-awkward-cat-gif-8634373961741432363

[ebon marlin]

Mine hovers around 550-600

[frigid topaz]

yeahh

wish i could hack into a satelite and get faster wifi

but dont feel like getting put on a list

[plush wren]

Deal with the slow wifi

[frigid topaz]

yeahh

ill get starlink when i moveout

[plush wren]

Seems overpriced

[frigid topaz]

yeah but i plan on living in a trailer home

or rv

[tender bluff]

I work for a Fixed* Wireless ISP. Ill tell you we lost some people to starlink when it became full scale and over half have returned

anyone doing gaming returned due to really bad latency issues between jumps from sat to sat

fixed wireless for sure has its own issues though
Mostly weather related

[frigid topaz]

well what wifi should i get for an rv?

[idle vessel]

red

[frigid topaz]

i see

[ebon marlin]

Game devs were too lazy to find a solution to stop making games so VRAM hungry so AMD had to step in themselves

[true stirrup]

Yeah that sounds like hell to implement

[ebon marlin]

Hopefully it's gonna become a standard soon

Too many games been requiring 80 series cards for 1080p60 High nowadays

[clear canyon]

Yeah

[nova barn]

how to respond to people who just say pay up or play old game my dad who would say just get a better job or blame update

[true stirrup]

If your PC is not performing well enough anymore you have to upgrade
So yes it's pay up, play older stuff or suffer bad frames

[azure topaz]

okay i know this is an exaggeration hopefully but damn make it more obvious

[ebon marlin]

First game that came to mind was Avatar and jesus fucking christ they say you need a Rx 6700XT to play 1080p60 and you have to use FSR2 to reach that mark

[azure topaz]

that’s not a 3080

[ebon marlin]

Avatar is a lil older game not sure what newer games have released nowadays with this same spec sheet for every setting and res

[nova barn]

what about the blame update that my dad you shuld see him convice my sister a mac book iar fro2013 is all she need and then she go ans ask me what game to play when she have 15k in acount

[azure topaz]

so a mid range gpu for 1080p 60 like basically every other target for a high end triple a game

i get what you’re trying to say but this isn’t that unreasonable to me

[ebon marlin]

But still 1440p60 and you need to use FSR with a 3080/6800xt

Fsr quality is like 80% of native wasnt it

[azure topaz]

those are 300$ video cards (sometimes a lil more)

[azure topaz]

yeah FSR is hot ass i agree

[ebon marlin]

So basically 1080p

[azure topaz]

or use DLSS

[ebon marlin]

Yeah man lemme just use DLSS with my 6800xt

That sounds like a great idea

I have DLSS on my Steam Deck but it's hot garbage since it's running AMD's tech

[azure topaz]

is the 3080 not real? 😭i thought this was a hypothetical

[nova barn]

What about blame update

[ebon marlin]

Fake gpu

Made up propaganda by the ccp

[azure topaz]

true

[ebon marlin]

3080 kinda pooppenschlinger too only 10 gigs of vram

Definitely ccp propaganda

[graceful girder]

@elder quarry i installed linux mint on my little brther's computer, gotta get em while they're young

[ebon marlin]

Your little brother is gonna hate you

[graceful girder]

[ebon marlin]

He's gonna start wondering why he can't play fortnite with his friends

[graceful girder]

all he wants to do is play minecraft and watch yt anyway

[ebon marlin]

Install Linux mint on the playstation
