download old firmware, flash with recovery image on a usb stick(external hdd)

[nova barn]

My dad believe that thsoe kind of game are mess up this country instead of people that age go to a a job and get only 1 hours a night or even 1 hours a week after study and have parents control on phone till they get a real job at 25$ a hour

Trash vs garbage

[plush wren]

Rust is a genius concept

[azure topaz]

they redid the audio and now tarkov has effectively ray traced sounds

[ebon marlin]

[ebon marlin]

oh yeah I just remembered pay day in a few days

ulala

[plush wren]

[ebon marlin]

pal is a bit late

[woven wigeon]

why does windows reccomend not the highest resolution of my tv? (yes i know that tvs are not gaming monitors)

[rose stream]

Nah. You responded, and that's enough for me. Lol.

[ebon marlin]

the recomended is usually the highest resolution of the TV

the recommended is 4k

[woven wigeon]

not here

[ebon marlin]

are you using an 8k tv

[woven wigeon]

4k can be ANYTHING thats close to 4k pixels

[ebon marlin]

you might have an older display cable'

[azure topaz]

because the tv probably just supports that video stream and it’s outputting the same signal as before

[ebon marlin]

what's ur TV resolution

[azure topaz]

just set it to recommend

[woven wigeon]

standart are 4096 * 2160 and 3840*2160

[azure topaz]

this is not true

[woven wigeon]

ltt made a video abt this

[azure topaz]

4K is what Vesa and only Vesa says it is

[ebon marlin]

the first one is standard for DCI which is not for consumers

[azure topaz]

^

[odd marsh]

Use the 3840x2160, it's the more standard 16:9 aspect ratio and matches default scaling and layouts

[ebon marlin]

3840x2160 is the standard 4k for consumers

[woven wigeon]

https://youtu.be/d-rl_caPTmk?si=ur3WRnO52KTsmlgQ

checkmate

[ebon marlin]

4096x2160 is for projectors and such

[odd marsh]

just use the 3840x2160

[ebon marlin]

[woven wigeon]

i dont want back bars on the sides of my screen bro

[azure topaz]

they have two entirely different purposes and points. DCI 4K is not UHD 4K

they’re entirely different. read the wikipedia page

[plush wren]

[ebon marlin]

tweak with ur TV's settings for the aspect ratio

set it to 16:9

[odd marsh]

4096x2160 is not standard at all in the PC sphere, all sorts of weird stuff with it, and is a 17:9 aspect ratio

[plush wren]

[azure topaz]

polar

[plush wren]

Hello

[azure topaz]

frick you

[plush wren]

No

[odd marsh]

4096x2160 can cause text to look fuzzy, it'll display videos and images not as intended

[ebon marlin]

Guh

[odd marsh]

what Tv is this

[ebon marlin]

Rip power brick

[hollow creek]

kewl!

[ebon marlin]

Bro fuck you wdym "Never settle" you're not even giving me a charger with my phone 😭

[woven wigeon]

jokes on you its 16:9 (language difrence)

[ebon marlin]

16:9 will always be 16:9 in every language

[woven wigeon]

video format 16:9

[woven wigeon]

this aint tech talk

GET OU-

[plush wren]

Why bro got toilet paper on his desk

[odd marsh]

what TV is this, looks like an LG?

[plush wren]

[ebon marlin]

I use it for repairs to clean old thermalpaste

I need to fix up my Acer laptop but too lazy

[odd marsh]

Oh, use the 3840x2160, any other 42" LG C series users will tell you to do that

[plush wren]

Ok but is your desk EVER clean

[woven wigeon]

u runnin a repairshop or what i dont think you clean thermal paste THAT often

[ebon marlin]

No

[plush wren]

Why

[ebon marlin]

I do repairs

[frosty prism]

i wonder...

[plush wren]

[odd marsh]

Also 300% scaling is atrocious

[ebon marlin]

I repair lots of mobile devices and laptops

[plush wren]

[ebon marlin]

I just recently repaired a 15 Pro Max

Got it for 400€ ordered a new screen and battery for 150€ and sold the phone for 760€

210€ profit

[plush wren]

I could be doing ts

[plush wren]

ok but where did u get these parts

[ebon marlin]

I use toilet paper mostly to just clean off the old adhesive or to clean the phone

[plush wren]

arent u using the site that ur job gave u access to

[ebon marlin]

You need to have a business

[elder quarry]

Nice

[ebon marlin]

I don't work in the repair industry

[woven wigeon]

the tv BARELY fits my my cabinet lol it not level evenly like slightly tilted to the left

[plush wren]

Gng then how did u get access to that site

[ebon marlin]

Parents own a business and I used that to register an account

[elder quarry]

Get him to tinker a bit with Linux, it’s also a way to mature

[plush wren]

My parent has a opened business

[odd marsh]

such a good PC display, theres about 4 of us that all use 42" c series

[plush wren]

idk if they ship to bosnia tho

[ebon marlin]

Do they have a business registry

[ebon marlin]

They ship to everywhre in EU as they're EU based

[plush wren]

What does ts even mean

its a uhh

[ebon marlin]

Every business has a specific registry tied to em

[ebon marlin]

Don't say it lol it's private never share it to others

Okay wait nvm I mixed it up

[plush wren]

Not what I was gonna say

[woven wigeon]

im kinda doing a favour for my parents they r usin a 1080p 60hz (tv box) while i am 4k hdr 120hz

[ebon marlin]

I mixed it up with something else I forgot business registries are public info

[plush wren]

need to have it opened to be a taxi here tho

[ebon marlin]

I was able to register with a beauty salon business

[plush wren]

Independent entrepreneur

[plush wren]

LKM FAO

[elder quarry]

Like not crying when your computer “breaks” due to OS

[plush wren]

what info do you even need to submit

[elder quarry]

Everything makes sense

Hi chat

[graceful girder]

I know he'll start asking me how to mod and other stuff like that so I'll take the opportunity to try and teach him how to use the terminal and navigate file systems

[woven wigeon]

900€

[ebon marlin]

i think you're better off asking ur parents to fill it up as if you don't know what a business registry is you won't know the other shit needed

[plush wren]

[finite reef]

@rigid fjord so what does this mean it says 99%

[plush wren]

i forgot what the site is even called

[ebon marlin]

mobileparts.shop

[elder quarry]

Be sure to know what he wanna know

[plush wren]

thx

[clear canyon]

It means its under load, its 99% utilitied

[finite reef]

under load as in?

[nova barn]

How to decide if I should pay 5$ a month to keep my line on tello when I am going to visable for unlimited data whwj I have 20$ in tello account for calls and if i leave i lose it and have to repay it if I comes back

[finite reef]

so basically it is at it's maximum or?

[carmine yew]

the cpu is busy thinking about stuff

[elder quarry]

Gpu

[finite reef]

so it's not maximum right cus my pc should be able to run the game at 4k it was red dead 2

[carmine yew]

why can't it be max?

[clear canyon]

Its working

[finite reef]

no no it can it runs perfectly fine

I am talking about the 3d normally I remember only seeing one bar at gpu

[clear canyon]

Its at max

[finite reef]

but ever since I upgraded I see more

[clear canyon]

Its working normally

Gpu under 100% load is good

[carmine yew]

I have no idea what you're talking about, but it's working as expected

[finite reef]

you sure sure so nothing is going wrong right

[clear canyon]

Literally all gpus do this

If its not being used, there is an issue

[finite reef]

owh

ah okay

tyyyyyyyyy

[clear canyon]

If its at 95 and up, its doing its job correctly

You want ur gpu to be used like that

[finite reef]

unless its a low end game right?

[finite reef]

oki

[finite reef]

for example low end games get 70% only max

[elder quarry]

Less intensive

[nova barn]

What about my question

[elder quarry]

Also some games can’t usr all power

[elder quarry]

Which question

[nova barn]

How to decide if I should pay 5$ a month to keep my line on tello when I am going to visable for unlimited data whwj I have 20$ in tello account for calls and if i leave i lose it and have to repay it if I comes back

[elder quarry]

What’s the other option

[sand epoch]

pc master race for life 💪

[nova barn]

That is the question

[sand epoch]

i love having the option to play 1440p 180hz unlike those console peasants

[elder quarry]

Where’s the question, “How to decide”?

[nova barn]

Yes since I feel like I get stuck since if I keeo tell i emd up pay 60 a year or if i leave i want to come back and then it 20 minimum for talk money or it pay a lot od takes and fees

[plush wren]

@ebon marlin seems to be pretty straight forward

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1294856959715184670/1341088882132914227/IMG_0180.gif

[plush wren]

idk if u get additional taxes or something since you're importing idk

[elder quarry]

I suggest this option if it’s 11$/month

[nova barn]

Why

[elder quarry]

For Sweden it’s a bit expensive but fine

[elder quarry]

60$ a month is a lot

And spending 1$ to have calls is good

[nova barn]

it not 60 it 30$ a month for visabel

[elder quarry]

That’s a lot

I don’t know the US market FYI

[nova barn]

it not 1 $ it is 3.31

[nova barn]

not for unlimt data '

since 5 gig dont get you far if you go on bus right and watch vidoe

[elder quarry]

Is the taxes not included in the price

[nova barn]

nope

[elder quarry]

I have 5 gig but eh

[elder quarry]

Very different from Sweden

xD

[nova barn]

it 3.31 for minun and 0.15 for not if you pay 20$ pay as you go you get 1 cent a ment

visable it is

[elder quarry]

Ok you figured it out

[nova barn]

and this is the price of the main plans

for simular to visable

[ebon marlin]

i just pay 20 for unlimited data with 5g and 200mbps

also unlimited data overseas

[plush wren]

[ebon marlin]

vro

why doesn't Oneplus sell clear phone cases

I don't want their stinky sandstone cases

it's cool that they give you a free phone case when you buy their phone and other gifts but cmon

also an interesting choice to lower the ram from the 12R's 16gb to 12gb on the 13R

[nova barn]

Is it good steaming too i watch videos game let play on car they are painful to pre download and always in 60 fps they look terrible in 480p

[ebon marlin]

you've set them to be downloaded at 480p

[plush wren]

Make yo own

[nova barn]

No i mean do thr plan support hd streaming

[ebon marlin]

Youtube or what

[ebon marlin]

Good idea absolutely splendid

[nova barn]

Youtube

[plush wren]

siege players are a different breed

[ebon marlin]

that you can control urself that's not for the carrier to decide

Just go to ur youtube settings and choose the resolution you want videos to be downloaded in

[clear canyon]

100 minutes? They still sell minutes?

[ebon marlin]

I only see those for disposable plans

meant for when ur traveling the country

[plush wren]

[ebon marlin]

Huntress from Dead by Daylight is also in R6S and I think Trapper too

[nova barn]

What

[livid mason]

No way my council doesn't know how a network switch works 💔

[grizzled frost]

that’s not exactly common knowledge

[plush wren]

[livid mason]

They didn't even have the switch connected to internet 🥀

[grizzled frost]

most people have zero idea how internet works

[livid mason]

And it's my freaking BSA council they should have someone who knows IT 💔

[graceful girder]

I'll learn for the good of him👍🏿

[livid mason]

"They should hire you" - My coworker after telling him that I fixed the network switch that the council couldn't hire an IT guy to setup

The freaking switch wasn't connected to the outlet 🥀

[grizzled frost]

yall think i can rack this with just ears?

[jaunty apex]

I mean isn't that basically just IT in a nutshell

though on scales that vary

[ebon marlin]

Google Play services

[jaunty apex]

It looks like wannabe iOS, the control panel

[ebon marlin]

Apparently this is supposed to have good AI capabilities and it can't even do basic stuff

[jaunty apex]

Is it android 16?

[plush wren]

Oh yeah fucking ram boost gotta turn that off

[ebon marlin]

My old phone has 5500mAh

[naive violet]

Hey guys, quick question.
i5 14600kf or i7 12700kf?

I'll be using it mainly for gaming and video/photo editing.

[ebon marlin]

Poop vs poop

[naive violet]

that's what I have on hand lol. Got it for free from my friend. I'm having a hard time deciding which to use in my second main rig

[ebon marlin]

The 14600k is better for content creation

[eager rose]

the hell you mean "sometime in the future"

[surreal garnet]

i think i9 12700k is better

[azure topaz]

REAL

although adguard is better

[azure topaz]

you mean i7 12700kf

[azure topaz]

14600kf 👍

[surreal garnet]

yes i meant that

[grizzled frost]

the funny thing is i’m not joking

[azure topaz]

13/14th have a way higher frequency on the p (and e) cores so in games theyre going to be faster

[grizzled frost]

though it’s gonna run proxmox so i can also run whatever else i want

[azure topaz]

and i think the 14600k is the same as a 12700k in multicore if not better

[ebon marlin]

In Pugetbench photoshop benchmark the 12700k scores 1294 points while the 14600k scores 1542 points

[azure topaz]

this decides it

[azure topaz]

use adguard you FREAK

[ebon marlin]

Not sure what software you'll use though

[azure topaz]

in every scenraio the 14600k is going to be faster 😭

[fringe prairie]

usa? 265kf is $209

[surreal garnet]

i have i7 13700k i use it for my bds

[azure topaz]

+1

[fringe prairie]

25gb if hd space aint a lot

[azure topaz]

yeah look at the rest of tehc omputer bro

the whole thing isnt a lot leave it alone

There's a phrase in Spanish that it's: "Quien tiene boca se equivoca y quien tiene Jeta que no se meta" that in english means Everyone Can have mistakes when speaking or talking, so don't be rude if the other person said something wrong

[azure topaz]

META?!

[surreal garnet]

eitherly the conversation ended or my routers having a stroke

[random gyro]

meta, yes, in this context to be nosy

well, it has different meanings

anyways

[azure topaz]

most effective tactics available

[neat cobalt]

got some lines on my pc

how can i fix this

[azure topaz]

replace cable reinstall gpu drivers

[ebon marlin]

try new display cabler

[azure topaz]

replace monitor

[random gyro]

I don't know, here I just wanna practice my secondary Language mixing Tech

[azure topaz]

it was just a joke cause thats what meta means to loser nerds

[random gyro]

Good to know that, I didn't know

[unkempt yoke]

try a new display cable maybe

[neat cobalt]

i dont have access to replace the monitor/cables

[unkempt yoke]

try getting acess

[grizzled frost]

the different in bit and byte is relevant, and i wasn’t rude in the slightest

[random gyro]

1. check if you have the same problem with other monitor but with the same cable.
2. Update Drivers
3. That Monitor it's F-cked Up and replace it
4. If the problem persists, F for your GPU and change it if possible

[unkempt yoke]

not rude tbh

Thanks, It's a Friend gift, and still works because it's an Lenovo old one

[marsh igloo]

will these fit a phantom spirit 120se? apparently theyre 34.9mm so they should but I wanna make sure lmao

[random gyro]

UFFFF, Those SSD's Has the most Aura that I've ever seen in life

[frigid topaz]

he coudve bought a case if he didnt buy a aio lol

[marsh igloo]

wait hold on, a sec

[frigid topaz]

thats how i have my storage

[stone violet]

He/she had priorities

[frigid topaz]

in all honestly a case is overrated

my first pc didnt have one

[frigid topaz]

next pc will have those open bench cases yk

[stone violet]

Yes

[graceful girder]

Peak, actually bricked one of those Toshibas recently

[marsh igloo]

again apparently they should but I honestly just dont wanna make a mistake so

yeah

[frigid topaz]

stick a usb hub and cool button to start it

[random gyro]

you?

[graceful girder]

Nah a friend of mine, he was tryna install mint but didn't know what he was doing, then he tried updating the bios to solve the problem but didn't know what he was doing

[random gyro]

Bro, here is a discussion about updating or not the BIOS of Old PC's, if you know how to do it, go, do it, If you don't, don't do it, but remember, If you Success great, but you probably can have some other problems then as slowliness (Sometimes happens), so in those cases I must say that if something works fine, don't do weird things with like that

by experience I have to say it

[graceful girder]

I told him not to but he didn't listen so now he needs a new computer

[random gyro]

damn, and Toshibas are good Laptops, well, depending

there were some with some troubles with the NEC TOKIN Capacitors

[graceful girder]

It was the same as the one u have in the photo

Probly slightly older

[random gyro]

what he can do is:

1. Go with a Especialized technical to reprogram the BIOS of.
2. Buy a New Laptop and sell that one (The Toshiba) for spare parts

[random gyro]

#tech-chat-1 message

[graceful girder]

There's no one here like that but I'll look around

[random gyro]

EXTRA: He can try by doing it himself (High possibilities to messed up more the Motherboard)

[graceful girder]

Yeah, even then he would need a programmer

[random gyro]

something like this and probably knowledge into microelectronic and soldering things

[graceful girder]

I actually want these but he barely knows anything about this stuff since he's not chronically online

Maybe I'll buy the laptop off of him then try it myself

[random gyro]

If you know soldering and Microelectronic you can try

[turbid scarab]

what PSU do yall think is the sweetspot for a 7800x3D + 9070 XT ?

[novel robin]

Hey guys i just get in dl2 and my gpu goes up to 85-87c with fan speed at 95% is that bad?

[turbid scarab]

i think anywhere near 90c is rly bad

[novel robin]

I play in high settings with ray tracing

[turbid scarab]

i get that but 87c is pretty bad

[novel robin]

Just hit 90😂

[turbid scarab]

jesus christ

i abuse my gpu from time to time but get nowhere near 70-75c

[novel robin]

Well...i have clean my pc the gpu is new idk why that temp

Maybe the summer?

[turbid scarab]

i don't think even keeping it in the sun would get that bad lmao

[dense pond]

my AIO (deepcool LE520) started behaving weirdly (RGB doesnt output correct colors).... i use OpenRGB for it and when i set red255, blue0, green0, it outputs some kind of blue

[turbid scarab]

and it'd be a shame to damage your new GPU, look more into how you can cool it more

[novel robin]

If I place a fan diagonally under the graphics card to push air from the front of the card, will it do anything?

[turbid scarab]

what's your setup ?

[novel robin]

Is a little old i will upgrade it in a month from now
I have a i5 7400 pair with a rtx 3050 (the card was a gift) 16gb ddr4 gskillz and the case is an coolermaster cmp 510

[turbid scarab]

what's your fans setup ?

like front, up, back etc.

[novel robin]

Three in front pushing inside one in back for out

[turbid scarab]

that's pretty average

i literally have no idea how you gpu gets so hot

maybe post the problem in #1027757333117415424 and more people can help you

[novel robin]

Okay thanks you for your time🙏

[turbid scarab]

no problem brother

[clear canyon]

Get a new cooler

[clear canyon]

I run a 750 watt with my 7800x3d and overclocked 4080

[turbid scarab]

noted, that's, ill take that into account

[novel robin]

A new cooler? For what? The gpu?

[clear canyon]

When i say overclocked, i dont mean that the box says OC, i mean i personally overclocked it

[clear canyon]

What is at 90c?

[novel robin]

Gpu

[clear canyon]

How many case fans

[novel robin]

4

[clear canyon]

Bc 90c is bad

[novel robin]

Three front one back the gpu is new

[clear canyon]

What are they and what orientation

[novel robin]

Push from front to back

[clear canyon]

Are they molex?

Bc you shouldn't have ur gpu that hot with 4 fans

[novel robin]

The fans? Yeah the came like that and connects to an rgb controller thats came pre installed in the case

[clear canyon]

Get new ones, they are crap

If it cant cool a 3050, thats bad

[novel robin]

Well the have connectors for motherboard but the motherboard doesn't

The fans came with the case

Coolermaster cmp510

[valid fiber]

how much power does the card draw to reach 90°C?

[dawn tundra]

What even would be the point of switching between high density to low density scsi ( originally it was going to the hdd splitter/rack )

[novel robin]

It doesn't even need external power that the weird thing

[clear canyon]

What? That makes no sense

[novel robin]

Drow power just from the mobo

[dawn tundra]

Depends on how lucky or unlucky you get

[dawn tundra]

Definitely always plug in your graphics card if it has a power pin slot

[dawn tundra]

Because if not you will not be using your card at its full power

[valid fiber]

whats the problem with the question?

[novel robin]

The gpu doesn't need external power

Look an the photo above

[dawn tundra]

That's why I said if

[clear canyon]

Bc it does not make sense

[dawn tundra]

I think what they're asking is what is the estimated power draw when the card is at a average temperature of 90° c

Which is way way too hot for the card

If your card's getting up to 90° c you need to get more cooling

[novel robin]

The card need 70w

[dawn tundra]

Yes a minimum of 70 Watt s

[novel robin]

Just hit 91c with 100% fan speed 😂

[dawn tundra]

That's really bad for your card

[valid fiber]

how is power consumption not a relevant factor for heat?
where is your problem?

[dawn tundra]

You're potentially risking damaging chips

[daring mesa]

Should i get 9070 xt (750ish usd) or 5070 ti (860ish usd)? I dont live in the us

[novel robin]

Yeah I know that's why i just close the game and temp goes down to 70

[dawn tundra]

Well what you're asking is something very hard to calculate unless you know exactly the specifications and built and design the card yourself that's typically not a question but you should always get more available power than you're going to need

[dawn tundra]

Yeah well what I'm saying is getting up to that temperature at all is really bad getting up to 95 and above will start actually permanently causing damage

[true stirrup]

You need to look at the cooler, airflow, ambient temperatures and much more

[dawn tundra]

Also with such high temperatures you'll get throttling issues most of the time depending on what card you have I think you said you had a 3050 so definitely

[novel robin]

If i put more fans in the top would make any difference?

[dawn tundra]

Yes

Make sure they're in the right configuration blowing in the right direction

[azure topaz]

i think the black ones have issues iirc

[novel robin]

Here in greece is also hot the weather right now is 20:50 with 37c

[dawn tundra]

Also make sure to check the CFM of your fans because if you keep getting low quality fans that don't move very much air it's not going to make a difference

[coral rivet]

if sm1 can help go to my #1106613567966429224

[dawn tundra]

Like 8:00 p.m.?

[novel robin]

Okay thanks y'all for the time🙏

[dawn tundra]

I mean yeah I understand but like 70° is what mine always reaches

Typically like the maximum I mean sometimes it goes above that but rarely

[novel robin]

Yeah

[valid fiber]

well and yeat i could figure out the current temp and power draw of my card right now in seconds
no need to calculate anything...

[novel robin]

An hour ago it was 40

[valid fiber]

nvm thats the cpu but the point stills stands

[dawn tundra]

Yes but what was the point of you asking this question?

Without any more contacts I can't really help you

I don't understand why you're asking the question

[novel robin]

If I place a fan diagonally under the graphics card to push air from the front to the card, will it do anything?

[valid fiber]

well GPU heat is determined by the power draw and the coolers ability to remove the heat
and I don't need help i was referencing the post right above my question talking about a 90° GPU

[dawn tundra]

I recommend mounting your fans only intended mounting positions

[novel robin]

Ain't strange that goes up to 91c with only 70w draw?

[true stirrup]

It's also the density of the die, positions of stuff in the die, locations of vram,...

[dawn tundra]

Yeah and how lucky you got with your silicon

As well as the quality of your RAM chips and other chips on the board

[coral rivet]

https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1388214137687113769

[dawn tundra]

I can't just tell you it's not something that most people know right off the top of their head

[coral rivet]

anyone?

[novel robin]

When i get the gpu i let the thermal paste that came with new if i change it would make any difference?

[valid fiber]

yeah sure but i don't understand why you have a problem with me asking about the power draw
thats totally normal and relevant

[dawn tundra]

I'm not saying that it's not relevant you're it's not something that everybody knows off the top of their head

You going to have to go look at manufacturing specifications for that

[frigid topaz]

What could be causing this?

[true stirrup]

If it's a new GPU then leave it
If it's a GPU older than let's say 5 years you might want to consider a repaste

[dawn tundra]

Probably your graphics card if you want I can help troubleshoot here in a minute

[frigid topaz]

That would be perfect thanks

[novel robin]

I have it for a month now is brand new

[dawn tundra]

What card is it

[frigid topaz]

1050ti on latest drivers

[true stirrup]

No point in repasting then

[dawn tundra]

That's probably not a good idea for your 10:50 but I was asking someone else about their card I recommend downgrading to 566 point whatever the highest

[novel robin]

Okay thanks you again

[dawn tundra]

What's the card model

[frigid topaz]

Okay thanks

[novel robin]

Asus 3050 6GB

[dawn tundra]

Okay how many fans do you have in your case?

[novel robin]

4 three in the front pushing in and one in the back pushing out

[dawn tundra]

If you can try moving one of those fans to pushing out of the back with the other one that could give you more performance

As well try limiting your FPS to your monitors refresh rate

[valid fiber]

people who do manual overclocking usually do know that

[novel robin]

Thats it

[dawn tundra]

And we have an overclocking channel but no I would say that 90% of the people in here don't know how much your card is going to draw at 70 watts of power

[dawn tundra]

I see it looks like your main issue is probably your motherboard I'm not sure exactly what it is but it doesn't look exactly very new

[novel robin]

What do y mean

[valid fiber]

eh... 70w seems like the answer?

[novel robin]

Is old i know i will change it in a month

Y want the mobo model?

[dawn tundra]

Look it seems like you don't even know what you're looking for anyway so I can't help you

[true stirrup]

No not at all
Most of the 3DMark leaderboards for example are just people slapping a water block on the GPU, lowering the ambient temps and sending it with the OC

[dawn tundra]

Yeah it's most likely also bottle knecking your performance

[novel robin]

Nah the cpu is around 70% the gpu goes up to 90-100

[dawn tundra]

That's what I'm saying you're your hardware is not being able to be used and it's full potential it's saying 100% but it's more of 100% of what your mother board can handle plus the power delivery is probably not going to be very efficient

[novel robin]

is a little bit old

[novel robin]

can the weather cause the overheating prob?

[true stirrup]

If your room is extremely hot sure

[dawn tundra]

But 30° Celsius is fine

[novel robin]

30 at night right now is 37c at 21:10

[gilded harness]

what's your pc case anyways

[novel robin]

coolermaster cmp510

[random junco]

my pc makes my room hot

[azure topaz]

its not

[gilded harness]

mmmm interesting

[azure topaz]

im not sure theres an h110 hardware comination that could overheat considering every cpu on the socket is like 88w limited 😭

like the CPU's could but no way the VRM/board itself is going to overheat

even if its a pos

[novel robin]

the cpu cooler is overkill for that chip at 100% goes only up to 65-70c

[dawn tundra]

We talking about their GPU getting up to 91°c

[azure topaz]

what card?

[trim idol]

My beast survived the move to Canada!

[novel robin]

asus 3050

[gilded harness]

that looks like a 3050 6gb

[azure topaz]

oh its an asus dual

[dawn tundra]

Asus 3050

[azure topaz]

yeah its going to overheat problem solved 👍

[novel robin]

nice

[azure topaz]

no reason other than its not a great card

[dawn tundra]

Yea Asus is garbage

[trim idol]

Now I'm going to take it apart 😭

[azure topaz]

you can try blasting more airflow at it or runnign your case without a side panel but tbhg its a 3050 its not losing anything

[novel robin]

well it was a gift

[azure topaz]

the asus dual is pretty garbage

[gilded harness]

asus is not garbage low end coolers tend to not doing shit

[sleek ibex]

[gilded harness]

like asus dual, msi ventus and gigabyte eagl;e

[azure topaz]

free is free im not saying you have a garbage computer lol

[gilded harness]

they all are absolute trash

[novel robin]

the old one was a 3g 1060 sooo is still an upgrade

[azure topaz]

just that that specific card model is normally hot/loud and this is as expected

👍

[hot heart]

damn, what are your specs?

[dawn tundra]

ASRock is usually better even though they were once a part of Asus

[azure topaz]

asrock is just owned by the same dudes

aka pegatron aka asus

they are completely different companies besides that gonna be real

[trim idol]

It's not anymore iirc

[dawn tundra]

Yea

[azure topaz]

even proven by something so simple like their uefi

[dawn tundra]

It's not anymore

[trim idol]

This is an older system, it's a Threadripper 1900X with dual Vega 64s

[azure topaz]

asrock is owned by asus

[azure topaz]

pegatron wikipedia^

[trim idol]

Pegatron owns ASRock and it owns ASUS

[azure topaz]

pegatron is owned by asus group

[gilded harness]

yeah i want a vega 64 waterblock

[sleek ibex]

[azure topaz]

well, its apart of asus group

[dawn flame]

Hello

[trim idol]

yes, which is not asus

[azure topaz]

😭 it has never been owned by ASUS

its been owned by the same people who owned asus

[trim idol]

it's an important distinction because from what i've seen, they operate as separate companies

[hot heart]

damn, is it just an older one or is it your main?

[azure topaz]

always and it literally probably wont change

[trim idol]

much to the dismay of their employees

[novel robin]

one more question is bad if i put my sub close to the pc?

[azure topaz]

yes thats my point

[trim idol]

they're kinda based

[azure topaz]

theyre entirely different companies with nothing but the same owner

[trim idol]

it's just an older one

[trim idol]

ohhhh my mistake. I thought you were saying the opposite. sorry

[azure topaz]

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

[hot heart]

damn cause i was gonna say that my system was slightly better cause im on a 2700x

[azure topaz]

"Subsidiaries:Pegatron (through which it owns asrock)"

asus owns both of the overarching companies that make asrock

[novel robin]

.

[azure topaz]

no unless you have like liquid metal

[novel robin]

okay thanks

[limpid dune]

PEGATRON split into Pegasus, which made Asus, which made ASRock.

Same reason why (AMD/ATI) RADEON is a palindrome of (Qualcomm) ADRENO. Corporate shenanigans

[limpid dune]

wait, is palindrome the right one

[azure topaz]

yes

adreno=radeon yes

[agile stag]

is that a vega 56/64,,

[azure topaz]

oh not palindrome i see what youre asking

[gilded harness]

yes gang

[sleek ibex]

NGL I want to do a HEDT build for shits and giggles

[azure topaz]

palindrome is words that are the same front and back i think

[agile stag]

hell yeah

[hot heart]

why dont you just game on the 9950x?

[torn rune]

I am going to get sapphire nitro+ 9070 xt. It has a 12 VHPWR connector. For the psu, is a atx 3.0 fine or should I get a atx 3.1 since it replaces the 12 VHPWR with 12V-2x6 connectors

[hot heart]

would be so cool if they had a roles system for desktop specs

so we could add the cpu and gpu we have as roles

[agile stag]

wait do they make atx psus without pcie connectors but with the uh nvidia ones

[azure topaz]

may as well get 3.1, i dont think theyre that much more expensive

[hot heart]

and for laptop specs too

[agile stag]

that would be insane

[azure topaz]

i think so, but they include adaptors to make it a normal 8 pin again

[azure topaz]

A850GL pcie5 comes to mind, it should be like 100$

[hot heart]

would yall say zen 3 is old enough where its not worth it?

[azure topaz]

yes

[torn rune]

Yeah. They are almost the same price but I need a psu in black but only white ones with atx 3.1 are available

[raven scroll]

Zen twee

[agile stag]

huh thats dumb i wonder if those are unsafe at all

[raven scroll]

[azure topaz]

you dont see it anyways, biggest L about that is that youre probably going to get white cables but you can replace them anyways

[hot heart]

zen 3 is from 2021

[azure topaz]

no probably not

[hot heart]

it doesnt seem that bad to me at least

[azure topaz]

yes and DDR4 and on a dead socket

no person without a computer should want to buy into am4

[raven scroll]

2021 was like…

[hot heart]

well even the 1700x is still being made

[azure topaz]

no it is not

[raven scroll]

4 years ago

[azure topaz]

what??? zen1 is so far out of production

[agile stag]

i do

[raven scroll]

Definitely dead

[agile stag]

only because their boards look nicer though imo

[azure topaz]

bro zen3 is hardly still in production besides the X3d 💀

if you dont have a computer a nd you want to begin to save up for something worth your money you are not saving for am4

theres no currently redeeming qualities of am4 other than the fact that its cheap on the used market

[lethal bay]

7600 claps Zen3 X3D

[azure topaz]

literally

[sleek ibex]

With how much DDR5 prices have decreased, there's honestly no reason to go AM4 here in the year of our Lord, 2025

[hot heart]

i thought active on techpowerup meant that its still made

[azure topaz]

b650 boards are cheap

[agile stag]

you can get am4 for the right price

[azure topaz]

100-120$ on ebay

[raven scroll]

Example

[agile stag]

grr imagine never getting an am4 board ever again

[azure topaz]

am4 boards look terrible, what?

[lethal bay]

Bro has never laid eyes on a CH8DH

[agile stag]

the earlier ones are really nice imo

[azure topaz]

same product line

[agile stag]

im also dying for an x370 krait but they have some other neat boards

[raven scroll]

A lot of the new am5 boards look nice too

[gentle kestrel]

average am4 board

[agile stag]

the z170/270 krait stuff isnt as cool

[azure topaz]

am4 didnt even get the fucking usb-c connector

[agile stag]

and i think they stopped making them after that

[azure topaz]

am4 boards are all terrible compared to the same generation intel counterpart 😭

[agile stag]

and then uh ill also run some 6th gen pc with ideally an msi godlike board preferably an x99 one mm

[azure topaz]

bros neever seen an Xii apex

(z490 cause its better than the z590 i think)

[lethal bay]

I have

[agile stag]

i still dont know what to get that would perform better since i dont wanna spend a hundred bucks or two on something that looks ugly and cheap

[dawn tundra]

Anyone got a spare lg wh14ns40? (I knOw WhAT I gOT)

USB-C isn't really nessesary on PC right now
USB-A still works fine for the relevant stuff

you buy the computer for the performance

Actually USBC is very useful right now

[agile stag]

it makes you feel better sometimes

[azure topaz]

i use usb c on my computer LITERALLY every day

[dawn tundra]

Don't know what you're talking about

[agile stag]

i dont have usbc and i do fine

and all my usbc stuff works with a usba to c

[dawn tundra]

USBC can be used for charging for data for display even and more things

[azure topaz]

USB-C allows higher wattage charging and more data

[raven scroll]

Usb c is speakers

[azure topaz]

saying USBC is useless on a desktop just means you dont have any USBC devices 😭

[agile stag]

usbc speakers sounds criminal

[valid fiber]

yup same for me

[raven scroll]

How

[agile stag]

i have a few but none are too smart

[sleek ibex]

Average TC1 moment

[gentle kestrel]

my z170 board had a usb c port there’s no way we’re acting like it’s not useful to have in 2025

[dawn tundra]

Just because you don't have it doesn't mean it's not useful

[agile stag]

at least none of the important ones uh i dont need to plug my phone into my pc

[raven scroll]

Everything wireless uses usb a

Or at least for the dongle

[azure topaz]

i use a phone as my webcam, to do that effectively i need high wattage USB charging

[agile stag]

im close but grr x99 curse

[azure topaz]

the USB-A ports on my computer simply will not do that

[agile stag]

i do have 12 rear usb ports though

[dawn tundra]

The Oculus quests use a usb-c Link cable

[azure topaz]

and they never ever will

[dawn tundra]

Some monitors have a usb-c display option

[azure topaz]

USBC makes that much more possible 😭

[valid fiber]

you know USB-A to USB-C cables are a thing. you don't need it on the PC to connect usb-c devices

[azure topaz]

high wattage.

[raven scroll]

Holy topic change

[azure topaz]

i dont want to be limited to like fucking 6watts bro 😭

[agile stag]

i have my iphone but that probably wouldnt do great as a webcam because software or something

[dawn flame]

I like to use my pc's usbc port to charge my phone sometimes

[azure topaz]

it would be great as a webcam

[dawn tundra]

It's not that we need a converter it's the matter of data transfer and speeds those are a lot slower than USBC

[agile stag]

stretch your arms and get a full 20 🥀

[azure topaz]

look into camo studio

[dawn tundra]

I don't know why this guy keeps claiming things that are absolutely not true are fact

[agile stag]

its not worth my time uh

[gentle kestrel]

excellent ragebaiter

[azure topaz]

i dont have any outlets near my computer that are free so its pretty crucial that my computer has decent charging for whatever devices i want to use 💀

[dawn tundra]

I know right it's got to be

[agile stag]

if i need a webcam i just take my bfs usbc one and i have a loose usbc cable so i plug it into there and it works perfectly

[agile stag]

grr i try and always have extra outlets theyre useful

my power center helps though

[raven scroll]

Does it matter what it looks like as long as it gets the job done

[agile stag]

i get like 5 bonus outlets it goes crazy

[dawn flame]

Cableism

[sleek ibex]

An old school KVM switch?

[valid fiber]

i think you are confusing like USB 2.0 3.0 4.0 and USB-A USB-C

[carmine yew]

I haven't seen one of those in well over a decade

[sleek ibex]

Or wait nah it's power nvm

[agile stag]

i hadnt ever seen one until i saw mine

[gentle kestrel]

considering the shade of beige there’s a good reason why

[agile stag]

it does good though its fun to flip them all before i go to bed

[dawn tundra]

This is definitely rage bait

[raven scroll]

Let’s just hate on micro usb

[carmine yew]

USB-C Cables are frequenty USB 2 speeds

[dawn flame]

USB C is the goat for charging phones

[valid fiber]

yeah that always broke

[sleek ibex]

We used to have one of those back in ye old days

[dawn tundra]

But usually have more lanes and have higher wattage capabilities

[agile stag]

try not to bend and become unusable(impossible challenge)

[carmine yew]

lanes?

[agile stag]

hmm neat i dont know how uncommon they are but ive never seen one like mine at all

[raven scroll]

I kept getting them confused for usb c

[agile stag]

ive seen rack stuff and even a chunk of psus with 120 outputs but no power center

[raven scroll]

Is this going material

[agile stag]

awrf FAKE

[sleek ibex]

God damnit, discord compression ....

[dawn flame]

My usbc to lga 1700 adapter 🤩

[dawn tundra]

Nvm

[raven scroll]

I also like staring at motherboards

[agile stag]

theres no way it didnt come like that to some extent

[dawn flame]

Idk what you got going on, my phone normally charges to 100 in like 30 - 45 min if its low

[sleek ibex]

Let's try this

[agile stag]

phone charging speeds are insane

[dawn tundra]

Charging for 12 hrs 😔

[agile stag]

i was stuck at 12 and then my new phone does 30

[dawn tundra]

Mine does like 20 maybe I don't know haven't really been paying Attention

[agile stag]

and some people are stuck at like 20 still and other people run like a lot higher

[agile stag]

mine has its spec and i just use a laptop charger

[valid fiber]

yeah don't do that unless you really have to
it degrades the battery faster for no reason

[dawn tundra]

And technicality with these lithium-ion batteries we're only supposed to charge them up to 80% and discharge to 20 for the best life

[dawn tundra]

Well it's nice to have it cuz it can handle it and I don't have to wait as long for a full charge

[dawn flame]

I have poor decision making skills. I will be doing this frequently

[pale flint]

i got that mdoe on

[raven scroll]

Is that intel socket

[pale flint]

my phone charges to 80% max

[sleek ibex]

Yes. LGA 1851

[raven scroll]

Oh.

Nvm then I only goon to amd

[dawn tundra]

That's good

[agile stag]

my phone goes to 100 and 0 and when the battery needs to be replaced ill deal with it then

[odd marsh]

🐐

[pale flint]

yeah

ikr

[dawn tundra]

I hate when companies make stuff so anti consumer like the phone that I have right now where you have to get one of their stupid tools or actually get one of those ones that works better than their tool

[agile stag]

curse of my old iphone though i never got to wear it down before the battery expanded grrr

and when the replacement one died they wouldnt fix it without resetting my phone hate apple hhhh

[odd marsh]

I would recommend a changed PFP

like strongly recommend

[valid fiber]

well my new phone has a 33000 mAh battery so I'm fine even witout charging to 100%

[agile stag]

does it have a headphone jack

[dawn tundra]

What's also funny is those iPod nanos if the battery expanded you can't get the iPod out of the shell because it had to slide through the rest of it and cuz the battery expanded it would usually cause the screen to get pushed up and not being able to slide underneath the grooves

[agile stag]

yeah those,,,

one day when i come across one like that ill go outside and put a hole in the battery and see what happens

if it deflates safely and comes apart fine then ill have won

[dawn tundra]

I had an iPod that had games and a lot of songs on it but my Mom stole it it was my dad's it was a gift to me I even had a Bluetooth transmitter and a pair of flat speaker headphones to go with it and she stole that too

[valid fiber]

i have one with 21000 mAh with headphone jack and microsd slot
but the bigger one on the picture doesn't have one

[agile stag]

and if it catches fire then ill just be safe and watch and also win because im not paying more than like 15 for one of those nanos

[agile stag]

hmm interesting neat

[sharp ivy]

I have a 2009 Ipod A1320 and the battery is still surprisingly good

[agile stag]

most of my batteries are good but a lot of them are not

[dawn tundra]

Yeah that's another thing I was surprised on is the iPod battery was still really good on the one that I had I kind of fucked up the shell opening it up though

Cuz I did have to replace the battery because it was low but it still worked but I wanted to replace it because it would be nice anyway

[agile stag]

battery rng is such rng its painful grr but its ok

[dawn tundra]

It only lasted like an hour and the one that I replaced it with lasted like five

[valid fiber]

the galaxy s2 battery is just good enough to power my razor

[agile stag]

my iphone can burn through 3 batteries in like less than 3 years but ive also had laptops from the 90s have functional seemingly healthy and fine batteries
