[tired bear]

but on windows server hyperv is so much more capable

[plush wren]

i just use vmwarehardenedloader

https://github.com/hzqst/VmwareHardenedLoader

[tidal geyser]

well yea client windows is where i just cant use it

[plush wren]

works fine for most older packers

[buoyant bridge]

also the fact Hyper-V uses FQDN for most spanning tasks makes its spanning infintely more reliable lol

[tidal geyser]

it just does not feel right to me but for other stuff dam is it good, ofc up to what im doing proxmox would probs be a better choice

right now not running any VMs for someone who loves talking about em

[tired bear]

at work we have hundreds if not thousands of vm's

[tidal geyser]

ngl that sounds kinda low

what do they do

[swift moss]

guess the price chat

[buoyant bridge]

they have 3 really good products imo

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/three-fitty-gif-1684909778489327763

[tidal geyser]

azure

[buoyant bridge]

Hyper-V
PowerShell
Surface Studio (the desktop one)

[swift moss]

close, its 90usd for a simple IC

[buoyant bridge]

I cant talk about Azure personally never used it

[swift moss]

lets shrink that down to Hyper-V, Hyper-V and Hyper-V

[buoyant bridge]

the surface studio is the best display on the market sorry

[swift moss]

powershill is trash

[buoyant bridge]

if I could get it as a discrete monitor I would WILLINGLY pay $5K for that

[tidal geyser]

that price

i know its good but like

[swift moss]

apple pro xdr display, viewsonic colorpro

[buoyant bridge]

no :)

[swift moss]

they are LITERALLY better

[buoyant bridge]

the Dell 6K is better then both and the surface studio has a infinitely better aspect ratio then all 3

[buoyant bridge]

how the fuck do you think a 16:9 200 PPI is better then a 3:2 200 PPI

[swift moss]

dell 6k isnt for professional color grading

also this is probably somewhere near top of the line
https://www.benq.com/en-au/monitor/professional/sw321c/buy.html

[tired bear]

clippy

[swift moss]

100% REC2020

[buoyant bridge]

I want a high PPI display color isnt the concern to me

also 4K is garbage at 32"

that is STANDARD resolution for 32"

[swift moss]

https://tftcentral.co.uk/news/asrock-pg558k-showcased-with-55-ips-panel-and-8k-resolution

8k 55"

[buoyant bridge]

that is not a high PPI display

that is only fucking 160 PPI lol its worse

160 PPI is objectively worse then 100 PPI

[swift moss]

aight 2 secs

[buoyant bridge]

you want to be around base 100s for PPI

[tidal geyser]

tbf there is also the distance

[swift moss]

im not a PPI lord, anything over 150 doesnt matter

[buoyant bridge]

the issue with anything thats not near base 100s is that it has to use fractional scaling

[swift moss]

31 inch 8k display @buoyant bridge
https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/news/20bec6a

[tired bear]

https://consumer.huawei.com/ca/monitors/mateview/specs/
i believe this uses same pannel

[buoyant bridge]

not it

[swift moss]

unfortuantely its absolutely garbage, only 90% of adobe RGB

[buoyant bridge]

the surface studio has a really special LG panel

[swift moss]

but its got a way higher PPI than ur surface

[buoyant bridge]

no it dosent

[swift moss]

279, what does urs have

[buoyant bridge]

wait what

[swift moss]

https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/news/20bec6a

[buoyant bridge]

250 is usually 8K 32"

[swift moss]

unfortunately the color space is garbaj, 90% aRGB - the benq is stil a better monitor

[buoyant bridge]

I just want a 3:2 4.5K 28" monitor is that too much to ask for

[swift moss]

100% rec2020 all day, even miniLED doesnt have that level of contrast

[swift moss]

no, im just saying surface studio ISNT the best 😭

[buoyant bridge]

in my personal opinion it is

[swift moss]

ok

[buoyant bridge]

but for other people its not

best display is subjective not objective

[swift moss]

well yeah I could say a 1940's CRT is the best display and I wouldnt be wrong

in my opinion

favourite vs best

[buoyant bridge]

in my opinion as a programmer any display that can do 3:2 and produce good blacks is one of the best displays

[swift moss]

best is quantifiable

not like a best partner

[tired bear]

yep
the best
vs
my best

[hexed tapir]

nerds

[swift moss]

we sure about that 😭

[buoyant bridge]

😭

how do u like this

[tired bear]

🍌

[hexed tapir]

Ew it's not dark themed

[swift moss]

what do u program?

[buoyant bridge]

web devolpment mostly.

[swift moss]

its a joke lmfao

[swift moss]

nice - for work?

[buoyant bridge]

nah personally

I work in manufacturing I litterally cannot tell you what I handle besides from its MIC

[tired bear]

teams high contrast my beloved

[swift moss]

some alibaba rep can leak company IP to me for free :D

[buoyant bridge]

the US military will arrest me if I tell you what we make

:3

[swift moss]

im sure if I ask my boy Jackie rn he can give me laser guidance system IC's no questions asked if I say they are for rc planes

[swift moss]

isnt that part of the NDA - who you work for 😭

[tired bear]

jackiexpress?

[buoyant bridge]

this is a declassified example now but I don't think I can tell you the specs of an M1A1 Abrams armor plate.

[ivory fjord]

Juat a random question should i put chrome os flex on a hp pavilion x2

[swift moss]

he is my express boy - I got him on speed dial and everything

[tidal geyser]

up to you

[ivory fjord]

2013 version btw

[buoyant bridge]

I work for myself as in I ownt he company, but the military contracts prevent me from disclosing manufacturing specs as its under security clerance

like I wouldn't be violating a NDA I'd be violating like 40 federal laws related to classified info

[swift moss]

ok

[hexed tapir]

Please post it to warthunder so it can be buffed

[swift moss]

why is this so pricey

[buoyant bridge]

leaking the entire M1A1 manufacturing doccument on January 3rd 2029 (when its fully declasified)

[tidal geyser]

quality

[tired bear]

small volume manufacturing prob

[swift moss]

me just go and get one from ukraine from like tank remains and then I measure dw

[buoyant bridge]

the m1A1 isn't in service anymore

they're all upfitted to A2s and A2 R2s

[swift moss]

its one of those "audiophile grade" products - means 1000% upcharge

[hexed tapir]

Can you leak the cost of the cheapest component of the Abrams?

[tired bear]

just use something prosumer

[swift moss]

"flagship ultra high performance"

[buoyant bridge]

for the M1A1 yes I can

[swift moss]

theres no such thing as consumer when dealing with ICs

[plush wren]

Just buy 100

[swift moss]

no "consumers" or "average voters" make custom circuits

[tired bear]

washer - 100$

[buoyant bridge]

its $492 for a pressure sensor used as apart of the loader safety system

[plush wren]

[swift moss]

what about like a screw cap?

[hexed tapir]

Oh only $492

[buoyant bridge]

you do not wanna know how much we pay PER BOLT

[swift moss]

na I mean like capping the bolt with like rubber or smthn

[hexed tapir]

$1.25?

[buoyant bridge]

every component in the abramas has to be certified.

[swift moss]

99usd

[buoyant bridge]

like individually certified

[swift moss]

for an m2 bolt

[buoyant bridge]

some of the smallest bolts in it cost $1K per bolt

[swift moss]

is your factory pro right-to-repair

[hexed tapir]

Like x-rayed?

[buoyant bridge]

idk ask general dynamics

[buoyant bridge]

ask chrysler

[swift moss]

"hey jarvis"

[buoyant bridge]

no chrysler defense

dif company general dynamics owns it

[swift moss]

would yall work for a war company if it paid well?

[tidal geyser]

no

[swift moss]

my brother recently declined a job offer when he realised the drones the company was making "werent flying over australia"

[tidal geyser]

i could have done it a while ago and made loads buuut ehhh not something i like

[buoyant bridge]

in design no

[swift moss]

yeah like an engineer

[tidal geyser]

anything to do with anything murder anything is a big nono for me

[swift moss]

honestly bro manufacturing arguably even worse, you just directly pumping weapons out now 😭 designing at least you can not manufcature them

[buoyant bridge]

god I wanna give a fucking insane electrical example on the M1A1

but it applies to other stuff too so I cant

[tired bear]

"Why do I as a STEM student have to go to ethics class"

[swift moss]

"ethics is important in life" ahh

[buoyant bridge]

I had to take an ethics course and vow that I would not drive a hmmve through town square

[mint umbra]

depends on what is it im doingf

[tired bear]

this
if i do stuff like i do rn (network infra) then i dont really care what is transmitted over it, be it dik pics or gun pics

[tidal geyser]

for me that was the job i could have done

but im just against EVERYTHING to do with war

not gonna help now that the peace HQ has been raided

[limpid ivy]

also: "this class is a graduation requirement" literally my hell and pain the last semester before I transffered out to a 4 year.

[hexed tapir]

Maximum distance for the laser range finder

[buoyant bridge]

ask chrysler

they might tell you for like a lot of money

raytheon did it I dont see why they wouldnt

[hexed tapir]

Who makes the seats for the Abrams

[tired bear]

secret labs

[buoyant bridge]

@tidal geyser I like how hyper-V tells you how to fix it

[tidal geyser]

xd

[buoyant bridge]

a company that chrysler pays to do it

[hexed tapir]

Damn Chrysler can't make seats weak

[ashen tangle]

me and the boys when we realize drone warfare exists:

[tidal geyser]

there easier to see all of it

[ashen tangle]

😔

[hexed tapir]

Perfectly balanced pc

[tidal geyser]

i think that is like a 100$+ AIO and case

[hexed tapir]

Lmao not even a cheap basic aio but a overpriced Corsair

[tidal geyser]

yus

[buoyant bridge]

I use a $80 case and its fine 😭

[iron glen]

what would be a cheap and basic aio

[plush wren]

its a $100 aio

[hexed tapir]

$130 aio

[tidal geyser]

o wow

[plush wren]

is it the argb one or what

[buoyant bridge]

I am gonna kill myself oh my god

[plush wren]

oh the non argb is 110

[hexed tapir]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jpKnTW/thermalright-aqua-elite-argb-v4-6617-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-aqua-elite-360-white-argb-v4

[tidal geyser]

wanna guess why he made the post :3

[buoyant bridge]

I forgot my board has 4 X520s I dont have connected lol

[plush wren]

[iron glen]

ah

[iron glen]

they needed help w their aio?

[tidal geyser]

only 10gig, weak

[buoyant bridge]

I am using a discrete X520 because this board dosen't cool the built in one properly and they overheat lol

[buoyant bridge]

for connecting locally to manage things its fine

[tidal geyser]

no ARGB stuff on their ultra cheapo motherboard

[buoyant bridge]

its actual network connection is 100GB

[iron glen]

ah

[buoyant bridge]

usb argb controllers exist

corsair commander comes to mind

[tidal geyser]

10$ 10gig is going to be fun

[buoyant bridge]

isnt it already a thing on the used market

I think you can already get X520s around that price

[tidal geyser]

not where i am, anyways i mean new.

[buoyant bridge]

I think MSI ships boards with 5gb already 10 isnt far away

YIPPIEEEE IT WORKS

I can now access my fucking server with 3 4090s in it

[iron glen]

i should fix my NAS ngl

[tidal geyser]

https://www.tomshardware.com/networking/realteks-usd10-tiny-10gbe-network-adapter-is-coming-to-motherboards-later-this-year

[buoyant bridge]

oh my lord

[buoyant bridge]

I need to take mine apart after I find a new 3647 dual socket ATX board with another PCIe slot

I need to add a connectX5 to it so its able to reasonably use its avaliable through put with the VM server

I have 4 connectx5s rn one of which is in the VM server its the only thing on my network able to do 100GB rn

(my network maxes out at 25GB)

[tidal geyser]

i wish we could see SFP+ come to consumer stuff

[iron glen]

i have a list of things i need to do but im too lazy to do it 😔

[buoyant bridge]

probably gonna get a supermicro X11 DPL ngl

[tidal geyser]

you can do full 10gig from NAS to pc for a MASSIVE like 130$

[tidal geyser]

aliexpress is fun

[buoyant bridge]

if you get NIC's used and use DAC cables more like

$60 lol

most people wont do that though because its more complicated to setup

[tidal geyser]

no i mean have a 2.5GbE switch inbetween

[buoyant bridge]

then you cap out at 2.5 GBe

[tidal geyser]

well for the other devices

[buoyant bridge]

oh I thought you ment actual DA lol

setting up DA with a nas is really annoying (I did it)

[tidal geyser]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006820869547.html

this thing rocks

[buoyant bridge]

I was the person that built a server on a live stream while high on DMT I wonder if anyone recorded that lol (YT banned the acc I used for that)

[candid bolt]

what would yall upgrade with a budget of 1400DKK? https://dk.pcpartpicker.com/list/z7tZ3w

[tidal geyser]

missing a zero?

or what is going on

[buoyant bridge]

wtf happened here

[tidal geyser]

TPM was not happy

[buoyant bridge]

????

[tidal geyser]

XD

get rekt

[buoyant bridge]

it accepted my password yippie

idk how it got bitlocker'd

[tidal geyser]

i disable it

[buoyant bridge]

it was never enabled here

[tidal geyser]

i get everyone around me to disable it

[buoyant bridge]

yeah they all got bitlockered wtf

im gonna reboot them and see if it goes away

[tidal geyser]

it automatically turns on bitlocker should only be on pro and EDU versions but nop

[buoyant bridge]

should I get a SSD for the VM server yet

its all mechanical storage rn

[tidal geyser]

yeas pleas

[buoyant bridge]

RAID 10 across 20 4TB hdds

[tidal geyser]

get a cache SSD

[buoyant bridge]

i dont think I can span SSD cache across a 2 controller array can I?

it is :3

[tidal geyser]

FUCKING WARSHIT

[buoyant bridge]

whats wrong with hardware RAID?

[empty quartz]

Thats not how raid 10 works

[buoyant bridge]

that is how RAID 10 works

[tidal geyser]

everything

also you just saw a reason why

[empty quartz]

Raid 10 is 4 drives

2 sets of raid 1

[buoyant bridge]

... you dont know how RAID 10 works

[empty quartz]

I literally use it

[buoyant bridge]

you can have 10 drives in RAID 1

[tidal geyser]

i dono just use raidz1 on ZFS

[empty quartz]

So you’re just wasting drives

8tb total

[tidal geyser]

well on such a big pool raidz2 or z3

[buoyant bridge]

2 sets of 10 drives in raid 1 over raid 0

that is raid 10

[empty quartz]

Thats a waste either way

[buoyant bridge]

there is about 38.8TB avaliable after formatting its fine

[empty quartz]

Then its not running raid 10

[buoyant bridge]

is there a way to hot swap a software RAID on windows server yet

its 4 TB drives

4TB x 10 is 40TB

[empty quartz]

@buoyant bridge if it was raid 10, itd be 8tb

[south arrow]

Reee?

[tidal geyser]

he has 20 4TB HDDs

[empty quartz]

And that would be 8tb in a raid 10 config

[tidal geyser]

hardware raid is sad

[buoyant bridge]

wtf is it called when theres 2 sets of 10 stripes?

I thought that was RAID 10?

[empty quartz]

No

You might be thinking of raid 50

[buoyant bridge]

thats 01 isnt it

[buoyant bridge]

my controllers UI doesn't actually tell you what the raid level is sorry

[hexed tapir]

This is a super nerdy debate

[buoyant bridge]

it just says striped/parity

and then it has parity on stripe and stripe on parity

[empty quartz]

I run raid 1+0

[buoyant bridge]

I use stripe on parity (0 under 1)

[tidal geyser]

i run raidz1 on 2 different vdevs

[empty quartz]

2 sets of mirrored drives in raid 0

[buoyant bridge]

yeah

[empty quartz]

On my nas

I run something goofy

Raid 1 with 3 hdd’s

[buoyant bridge]

I might switch to RAID 5 when I redo the storage in the VM server

eventually its getting 20 SSDs and 10 HDDs

[tidal geyser]

pls do hardware raid

[buoyant bridge]

or 6 SSDs and 15 HDDs

[empty quartz]

ssds for cache right?

[south arrow]

I mean whatevers clever

[buoyant bridge]

I could do either I have 32 sas interfaces

[buoyant bridge]

probably split arrays but mabye cached too

if I do 20 SSDs 10 HDDs theres gonna be a 16 SSD array and 4 will be used for caching the 10 HDDs

[empty quartz]

Id suggest a raid 1 cache for ssd’s

Ssd’s are more prone to failure than enterprise hdd’s

[tidal geyser]

i would do that for one read and another for write

[buoyant bridge]

amazon with the $20 light fixtures coming in clutch

(I have enough romex already)

I have a unopened spool of 12/3 and 12/2 I don't think ill need more romex lol

[hexed tapir]

Does the Light fixture have holes on the top so the lightbulb doesn't prematurely cook itself to death?

[buoyant bridge]

its only a 9w bulb I dont think it will

the fixture im using rn with the same bulb model is completely closed in

[south arrow]

Ngl after reading into raids as a nub raid 1 sounds safest, then using 0 as cache i assume* (i don't do the server things)

[tidal geyser]

raid 0 means if just one drive fails all dat gone, with raid 1 if half the drives fails in a multi drive array you got no more redundancy

[south arrow]

I guess not all want to backup that makes sense

You feeling any better sims?

[tidal geyser]

yea

i was hoping to be perfect by now but at least it looks like in a day or two i will be perfect

[south arrow]

Have some good food try to get some fresh air, be back at it in no time

Whats this myth about having to reinstall windows after swapping your CPU
My PC works just fine after a CPU swap without reinstalling Windows
Am i missing something?

[south arrow]

Looking solids

[buoyant bridge]

did you only swap the cpu?

[somber void]

CPU and board

[buoyant bridge]

the having to reinstall after swapping cpu rarely happens unless you swap more shit, swap brands and mobo, or big ass leaps like Ryzen 1000 to Ryzen 4000/5000 (and thats only sometimes)

[tidal geyser]

the main issue is the amount of stuff in windows, it will be fine most of the time but some times it will not

[hexed tapir]

https://youtu.be/dVjg_BK3G3s?feature=shared might be fine just most lights say don't use in enclosed fixtures, And are the reason they dont last the 10+ years they promise

[buoyant bridge]

whats the old cpu and new cpu?

[tidal geyser]

the right way is to reinstall

[tidal geyser]

drill it

no joke the best way is to drill into it

[buoyant bridge]

I could drill a hole in the glass

I have diamond bits and an angle grinder

[tidal geyser]

its not glass

[buoyant bridge]

my fixture is glass

[clear spruce]

windows OS's on roblox before gta 6 oh em gee

[tidal geyser]

well

yea ok some are glass but that one up top was plastic

[buoyant bridge]

the bulb I posted is plastic but the fixture is glass I think

[distant frigate]

Best LED type enclosures imo

[somber void]

Old is i3 10100f new is 5600X
Old board is Asus Prime H510M-a, new board is Gigabyte Gaming B550 AX V2

[distant frigate]

All of the lights in this house has been converted to LED

[buoyant bridge]

yeah defo glass lol

[distant frigate]

Wether it’s from incandescent or fluorescent

[tidal geyser]

wat is dat

[buoyant bridge]

they put a 1200 lumen LED in it and it bust thats normal

[buoyant bridge]

make sure to go to windows update > optional drivers and grab all ur AMD drivers or ur gonna lose a lot of preformance

[tidal geyser]

its funny you cant really buy those in the EU at all anymore

[buoyant bridge]

this is where part of that myth comes from

[somber void]

👍

[orchid trellis]

So ive been trying to find a new motherboard since my current once has basically shit the bed. Cant enter bios to change anything. And i dont like the pcie slot spacing of any new motherboard. 1 slot gets 5 spaces where the last 2 pcie slots get 1 each.

[tidal geyser]

i think this was my favorite pic of that day

[hexed tapir]

Only if it can vent from the top into the attic or whatever

[tidal geyser]

what??

[south arrow]

Looked majestic had its own aura

[buoyant bridge]

MSI Z890 pro?

[distant frigate]

Atleast it’s not as bad as this

Looks pretty but there’s absolutely no airflow

Same can be said for a booblight

[buoyant bridge]

this board gets really nice spacing

[south arrow]

A what

[orchid trellis]

like this one

[south arrow]

Ahh yiss

[buoyant bridge]

oh yeah aside from X870e this is very common because of lanes

[orchid trellis]

like, give the last 2 more space

[south arrow]

As you where xD

[somber void]

Yeah its kinda weird

[orchid trellis]

that one is x870e

[distant frigate]

Yesss

[buoyant bridge]

X870e creator

[orchid trellis]

which brand?

[buoyant bridge]

asus

asus makes basically the only AM5 boards with good pcie layouts rn

[somber void]

Asus ProArt

[buoyant bridge]

X870E Valk and X870E Creator are like the few AM5 boards with good spacing and 3 pcie 16x slots

[tidal geyser]

what????

am5 and 3 16x slots

[buoyant bridge]

most AM5 boards have this fuck ass layout

2 slots next to each other and one slot with 3 no slots under it

[tidal geyser]

am5 only has what 28 lanes to work with

[orchid trellis]

Im trying to put my old gpu to use and 1 other device but cant with these funky ass layouts

[south arrow]

I don't care much about looks as long as i have abundant usb and good ui in bios

[buoyant bridge]

X870e has extra lanes from chipset

[tidal geyser]

what other device

[buoyant bridge]

the X870e creator has 3 actual full 16x slots

[tidal geyser]

now go read the manual

[orchid trellis]

An EVGA 2080 Ti xc ultra and vive wireless adapter

[tidal geyser]

also 28lanes was on dual chipset boards

[buoyant bridge]

nvm the pcie 4 slot is always x4 wired as 16x ur right

it can have 2 x16 slots if youre not using 2 of the M.2 slots

[foggy marsh]

its x16/x0 or x8/x8 and the last one is x4 from chipset

[tidal geyser]

the other one is x1

[orchid trellis]

Im trying to squeeze a 2 slot waterblocked 7900xtx, 2 (“3”) slot evga 2080 ti xc ultra and a 1 slot accessory

[tidal geyser]

most boards are x16 x4 x1

[buoyant bridge]

yeah my board is x16 x8 x1

[tidal geyser]

x8?

[buoyant bridge]

its W680

[tidal geyser]

o yea

[orchid trellis]

My current mobo is gigabyte x670e aorus pro x

[buoyant bridge]

there are W680 boards with 2 pci slots lol

for some reason on 12th gen and up intel started requiring 2 pci slots again on the chipset

[orchid trellis]

Any good mobo with decent spacing for am5?

[buoyant bridge]

I have this in my main PC

[buoyant bridge]

X870e creator

or X870e valk

[orchid trellis]

Still asus?

[buoyant bridge]

yeah asus makes the only good x870e boards spacing wise

they put their chipsets in a dif place and they also dont do intels "make your AMD boards worse" deal

[foggy marsh]

That cant do x16/x8, when the x8 slot is used the first x16 slot runs at x8

[buoyant bridge]

wait nvm valk is biostar @orchid trellis

[kindred halo]

25 days until something

[buoyant bridge]

when did biostar even make a comeback lol

Build is primarily white. Might look kinda weird

[sleek ibex]

They've been selling boards. Though they're only exclusive to the Asian market if I had to guess

[buoyant bridge]

I've seen their boards in stores before like microcenter

[sleek ibex]

Huh. I've never seen the Madison Heights location have them in stock at least

[orchid trellis]

This is my current mobo

[sleek ibex]

[buoyant bridge]

MSI X870E Edge TI?

[orchid trellis]

Mobo hunting is hard especially with a setup as weird as mine

Not really weird just, not normally done

[buoyant bridge]

if you have a Back Connect case the PZ is white too

actually PZ is intel only nvm for atx boards

[sleek ibex]

In fact, I haven't seen a BioStar board going for sale in the wild in 20 years

In my area at least

[orchid trellis]

Or unless i find a waterblock for my 2080 ti, i might be sol

[buoyant bridge]

the sharonville microcenter has the best variety of every microcenter I've been to

they sell oneplus phones, phillips TVs, a lot of weird brands you dont see often

[sleek ibex]

I see. I've only been to the Madison Heights location (since I live 15-20 minutes away)

[buoyant bridge]

hows the lochness monster up there anyways

[orchid trellis]

What waterblock will fit an evga 2080 ti xc ultra?

[buoyant bridge]

a waterblock made for the EVGA 2080 Ti XC Ultra

GPU waterblocks aren't universal

[orchid trellis]

I am aware.

My 7900XTX has a 3rd party waterblock on it

[buoyant bridge]

EK makes one, EVGA offically made one

you prob wont be able to find a new waterblock for it fyi

everythings EOL

[sleek ibex]

https://watercooled.net/

There's a site that tells you which is compatible

Though it might not go that far

[orchid trellis]

I just want to use my 2080 TI instead of it sitting on a shelf. Fuck

I dont have a second system to put it in

[buoyant bridge]

use the air cooler?

its a evga the air cooler is fine

[spring latch]

my uncle has given me a portable CRT

black and white, its from 2003, has UHF, VL, VH, FM, AM, and NOAA WB, ALL analog, even the FM tuner

[buoyant bridge]

eat it

[spring latch]

nah

im buying an HDMI to RF, then coaxial RF to 3.5mm RF

[orchid trellis]

Its a 3 slot cooler and with modern pcie slot layouts, it wont fit with that extra accessory and another gpu

[buoyant bridge]

Why do you need 2 gpus

2 gpus will LITTERALLY lose your performance for anything except acceleration in AI tasks

[hexed tapir]

Says the 3 4090 fox

[buoyant bridge]

Those are used with VMs

That's a dif thing entirely

[orchid trellis]

I can try

And im trying to just get a replacement mobo to enable me to do that. Current one is having issues

[serene pumice]

Put your motherboard on dark mode, I'm blind.

[hexed tapir]

Or using it as a Physx 32 bit accelerator card for gaming 😆

[orchid trellis]

Nah

[buoyant bridge]

no like you WILL lose performance unless you have a very specific task that can use 2 gpus

And even then they need to be the same die

[orchid trellis]

It is going to be an accelerator card. Just trying to figure out a way to get it in my pc.

[buoyant bridge]

Even if you find a Mobo with layout that'll accommodate it you need a case with 8 brackets probably

you usually can't use the first slot in modern boards

[orchid trellis]

I have a case with 8 brackets

The problem is the mobo

[orchid trellis]

Thats dumb

[buoyant bridge]

well modern AMD boards

Intel keeps around Corporate Compatibility Model stuff which you can use it on usually

[orchid trellis]

I dont like the bullshit is pulling tho.

Fucking e-cores and p-cores

Then needing w11 to use it properly. I dont know if linux or w10 supports it properly.

[buoyant bridge]

W10 does just not LTSC

That's because LTSC is based on a slightly older version

And Debian based distros ALWAYS supported it, Arch based ones don't

[orchid trellis]

Whats LTSC?

[buoyant bridge]

Long Term Servicing channel

The one that you can't officially use and gets updates after October 2025

[serene pumice]

Windows 10 iot ltsc until' 2032 I think

[buoyant bridge]

I wouldn't use IOT LTSC it's a lot more finicky if you need certain features

And Nvidia is starting to disable features driver side for it

Fact of the matter is Microsoft will probably find ways to kick you off iot ltsc too

[buoyant bridge]

Basically ltsc is a version of windows with ESR already enabled, it's built on one version and you keep that version till it's EOL date, you're not able to buy it unless you're a business however.

[whole kayak]

could we like, stop making the 24pin connector so damn impossible to unplug

[candid bolt]

wiggle it

[buoyant bridge]

Weak fingers, you just press the tab in and pull up

You have to press it in all the way

[hexed tapir]

You want them loose enough they could come undone in shipping for prebuilts?

[whole kayak]

thats not what I said lol

[buoyant bridge]

It's not even hard to unplug most people just don't push the tab in all the way

[whole kayak]

plus it has a clip so it con't unplug in shipping anyway

[buoyant bridge]

If it wasn't pressure fitted to that clip wouldn't hold it

The clip prevents it from wiggling, it has to be pulled straight up or it just won't come out

[whole kayak]

trust me I had the tab pushed in. my fingers have red marks on them from pressing it

[serene pumice]

"5 days ago — NVIDIA confirms end of support for GeForce GTX 700, 900 and 10 series after 580 drivers."

[buoyant bridge]

I just use a pair of vice grips

[serene pumice]

So, don't feel like it matters anyways.

[buoyant bridge]

They have a 2080 which has features that can't be used on iot LTSC like dlss

[serene pumice]

Ah, gotcha

[south arrow]

https://youtu.be/HRfbQJ6FdF0?si=o6iv-LVS6IByfiRC

This guy lol, a fun watch

[buoyant bridge]

also E cores don't work on LTSC due to the last version of LTSC for windows 10 being 22h2

LTSC 2024 is Windows 11

[hexed tapir]

Give 1000 series another 2 years

[serene pumice]

Ikr? Surely my 1070 8GB can still pull through

[buoyant bridge]

the 900 series is a decade old

[buoyant bridge]

1000 series prob has a year or two left

three at most its being competed with by budget cards now thats about when gpus hit end of life

[hexed tapir]

Fuck my back up card the GTX 950 is affected by this

[vital gyro]

Aren't the 750 and 750 Ti the only Maxwell-based 700 series?

[buoyant bridge]

just get a RX 550 for a back up card

they're like $50 and insanely simple cards that work in ANYTHING

[hexed tapir]

My rx 5700xt will be my backup card when I upgrade

[buoyant bridge]

I keep a RX 550 around cus itll boot in shit that wont boot some gpus

got it to boot in a HP Z2 mini with this adapter

[vital gyro]

Those RX series (500-6000) were insanely popular for people with Mac Pros since they had native driver support.

[buoyant bridge]

I thought 400 was the last with native driver support?

(for the older mac pro not the new one)

[hexed tapir]

Before covid the Rx 580 was under $80 used because people use them for mining

[vital gyro]

Nope. Not if you had the 2008-2010 or the 2019.

The 2013 was the only one with soldered GPUs.

[buoyant bridge]

2008/2009 are the 4,1
2010/2011/2012 are the 5,1

[vital gyro]

Correct, I only grouped them into one because they both support standard PCI-E GPUs, unlike the 2013.

[buoyant bridge]

2011/2012 do too though?..

[vital gyro]

Yes.

[buoyant bridge]

2013-2015 is the 6,1

there is no 2016-2017

and some 2019 mac pros identify as a 2018 but they're a 2019

theres also 2 2019 (7x mac pros)

I know the 7,2 won't boot anything before 6000 series

(thats the one with the spec bump to Xeon x3xx)

[rigid fjord]

reasons to have an amd card that just won't die as backup

[buoyant bridge]

just get the 550 or a radeon 700 card

they're insanely simple and still PCIe1 compatible cards

[rigid fjord]

r7 240, it just runs like nothings ever happened

[buoyant bridge]

(pcie 1 wont boot a lot of newer 2 and 3 cards)

[buoyant bridge]

all a test card needs to really have is a VGA port

using a card without VGA is stupid because there's systems out there that will seem dead with a gpu but are just only able to output to VGA on first boot and actually work fine

[rigid fjord]

nah, have it with dvi

dvi-i compatible with hdmi and vga

with this i can test it on basically any type of screen

[clear spruce]

hey almighty rauko, may i ask if you possibly know a gpu that doesnt need power from psu and is good enough to test with

could even be a 20 year old gpu

[serene pumice]

DVI-Dual Link ftw.

[plain cypress]

Using the word "insanely popular" and "Mac pro" in the same sentence is crazy

[serene pumice]

120hz on my LG 3D gaming monitor.

[plain cypress]

I guess it's insanely popular for the 300 Mac pro owners

[clear spruce]

also needs to be cheap :D

[plain cypress]

I take back the previous comment reading the statement in a different manner now

[rigid fjord]

really any polaris based radeon would be a good one, rx460, rx550, rx560

[clear spruce]

anything older/cheaper?

[covert torrent]

any rtss alternatives?

[tidal geyser]

wat

[hexed tapir]

Have you seen the 5050 amazing rt performance yet?

[covert torrent]

i'm on discord on my phone and i had to zoom out to see the 5050

[hexed tapir]

If you look at the bottom for indian Jones test at 1080p

[tidal geyser]

so in short just buy a 3060

[hexed tapir]

For ray tracing yes

[tidal geyser]

how is it in ya know not RT

[covert torrent]

who cares about rt anyway

[hexed tapir]

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/gigabyte-geforce-rtx-5050-gaming-oc/31.html rx 7600 lvl

[covert torrent]

just get a 7700xt and use lossless scaling when rt

[fickle ivy]

yo can anyone help me out

i am having an issue with my mic where windows detects its being used but i am getting no input with any of my mics

[covert torrent]

there's no way a 7600 is this bad

[hexed tapir]

It was a garbage gpu at launch too

[covert torrent]

yeha but the 5050 is objectively bad

not even "display out only" type bad

[hexed tapir]

If It didn't need external power it would be killer

[tidal geyser]

AV1
FG and MFG and so on

i could see something like this being perfect in a very basic server

and 8GB of vram is enough to run some OK models for home assistant and so on

[hexed tapir]

Or any office tower

[tidal geyser]

the 5050 could have been so good

[hexed tapir]

130watt card

3060 12gb is only 170w

[tidal geyser]

A LOT of 3060 cards are also only 8pin

[winter lantern]

Me saying the 5050 is ass when my gpu is way worse

[hexed tapir]

At least your card wasn't $250

[winter lantern]

True it was 12$

[ocean axle]

$12 for what card?

[tidal geyser]

1650

[topaz wren]

[hexed tapir]

Get a cheaper CPU and put it into. Better gpu

[topaz wren]

All my games are cpu based

i currently have a i5-12400f and 3060 this a huge upgrade

[hexed tapir]

[hexed tapir]

What games

[covert torrent]

@topaz wren are you running linux by any chance? i might be confusing you for someone else

[verbal prawn]

Coopa should I buy an open box 9070xt for 854 CAD or an new one for 899 cad

[topaz wren]

what how is this relevant

[covert torrent]

just say yes or no

[topaz wren]

no

[covert torrent]

oh ok

[azure dirge]

If you need to buy more RAM if you buy from the same brand and the same series of RAM you wouldn’t have to worry about compatibility right since it’s just a larger size

[rigid fjord]

not if it's ddr5

[hexed tapir]

I would follow my plan and wait for mid gen refresh

[verbal prawn]

I mean what gpu do you have

[thorn pewter]

2050 in 4k high refresh rate is it possible🥺

[azure dirge]

I mean yeah obviously but besides that

Should be good?

[thorny saddle]

which 5050 should I get

[thorn pewter]

the one that doesnt end in 50

[limpid ivy]

[buoyant bridge]

lowkey I got tired of my desk gromet coming out so I just

gorilla glued it in LMFAOOOO

How useful do y'all think desk outlets are?

[near coral]

Fire hazards imagine putting outlets in wood

[buoyant bridge]

the outlet isn't in wood though its in PVC

[near coral]

I forgot y'all have wooden walls

[buoyant bridge]

that is my desktop

[near coral]

Ahh fair point

[buoyant bridge]

my walls are plastered

plaster over concrete

[near coral]

Imagine living in a country where houses aren't made out of solid concrete

Well never be me

[buoyant bridge]

my house litterally is made out of solid concrete though

[near coral]

Yeah but this makes me feel better so play along

[buoyant bridge]

everything on my property is concrete besides the workshop because I built the workshop in a grand total of 4 days by myself.

so I framed it out of timber and then put up sheet metal (its litterally just a barn with insulation)

[near coral]

I am buying an apartment next month

[buoyant bridge]

the funny thing is the building that would usually be wooden has held up better then the concrete buildings to my reckless winter driving lol

[near coral]

I don't own yet 😭

[buoyant bridge]

I crashed my dually into it and it only dented the sheet metal

[near coral]

Not really

[buoyant bridge]

crashed the dually into the old workshop and it knocked the entire concrete wall down

[near coral]

tf type of concrete are you using

[buoyant bridge]

its a 496 chevy that truck has enough torque to litterally pull a fully loaded semi over length wise

when I don't wanna move the semi trailers with the actual semi truck ill litterally just hook them up to my duramax or my 496

concrete is only strong in textile strength its very weak in tensile strength

[near coral]

Still either shitty concrete job or your lying

[buoyant bridge]

it litterally happens all the time in the USA and Canada

Chevy put out a ad back when the OG 454 came out in the heavy duty trucks in the late 80s telling people to be more careful with them when running snow plows because it was such a fucking issue with them knocking whole buildings down

[near coral]

Ahh yes
Sheet metal ( survives impact from a huge vehicle )
20cm+thick concrete
Gets blown out from tiny impact

[buoyant bridge]

sheet metal can deform

concrete will just break

[plush wren]

Wood

[buoyant bridge]

• those 4x4 beams I used are able to take a beating lmfao

[empty quartz]

@near coral concrete is not a strong material by itself lmao

[plush wren]

What if I make my house out of titanium

[buoyant bridge]

^
exactly why we dont build out of it much in the US

[near coral]

No shit which is why in sensible countries they also use something called rebar.

[plush wren]

how come your houses are so expensive

[fickle ivy]

why do bluetooth keyboard makers feel the need to make it so i need to use 2 hands to press escape

[buoyant bridge]

my house was built before the invention of modern insulation thats the only reason its built of concrete

[buoyant bridge]

try breaking a properly built american home in a way that can be fixed in less time then it took to break it

[near coral]

Wood is cringe
Embrace concrete

[plush wren]

isnt that only for the foundation

[buoyant bridge]

they use timber frames in walls in europe dont tell autism that

[plush wren]

what does ts even mean

[buoyant bridge]

can't be fixed*

[plush wren]

my house doesnt have ts

[formal sonnet]

Personally, I prefer not integrating things into my desk. I would rather mount a powerbar with outlets + USB ports to the underside of my desk, or one of the legs. Sidebar: outlets mounted flat like in your photo are a safety hazard because it's extremely easy to spill liquid in them.

[buoyant bridge]

its a outdoor outlet lol

and they're downstream of a GFCI so its fine

[plush wren]

im launching a missile on your home

[near coral]

Not necessarily

[plush wren]

idk how you break a home in the first place

[buoyant bridge]

run a snow plow like I do in the winter

thats how I collapsed my garage twice.

[empty quartz]

I wanna get a new desk and chair (as much as i love my chair that was built in the 90’s i think its time to upgrade)

[buoyant bridge]

my desk is litterally just 2 sheets of finished plywood and like 6 2x4s

[lean plaza]

yo should u reinstall windows if u get a used pc if it alr has windows on it

[plush wren]

wait what a house out of fucking concrete

[empty quartz]

My fucking office chair is older than a majority of the people here

[formal sonnet]

The outlet itself isn't GFCI... but I guess it's "fine" if the FIRST outlet on the circuit is GFCI.

[buoyant bridge]

The first outlet is a GFCI lol, connected to a GFCI strip plug, connected to another GFCI outlet

[plush wren]

my house is made out of bricks

[buoyant bridge]

This is how my desk is built

Yes I have tower speakers under my desk it's very high up lol

[empty quartz]

Not bad for a diy desk

[plush wren]

american homes are so fire u can just drill a hole in the wall to hide your cables

[empty quartz]

My desk is glass

[buoyant bridge]

you cannot drill a hole in the plaster that is over concrete to do that imo

[long beacon]

How do I update a bios on a computer im about to build, as it probably won’t boot without bios update bc of cpu compatibility

[plush wren]

[buoyant bridge]

youll need a compatible cpu

[empty quartz]

Go to your local computer store

[buoyant bridge]

scare europeans with the price of mounting things in concrete walls

[plush wren]

brick > concrete

[buoyant bridge]

you need tap cons for brick too

[long beacon]

Last time I went in there, they burned out my sata ports and refused to pay

[plush wren]

what is this for again

[buoyant bridge]

its a screw for masonary

[empty quartz]

Then dont go to that one

[long beacon]

It’s the only one

[plush wren]

u dont need ts what

[long beacon]

I live 2+ hours away from the next one

[buoyant bridge]

yeah you do lol

[plush wren]

no

[buoyant bridge]

either a tap con or more expensive MMR screws

[plush wren]

i personally havent drilled shit into walls but ive spectated

never seen ts being used

[buoyant bridge]

are they using anchors?

[plush wren]

for example what would i need to mount on my wall to need this

[formal sonnet]

Don't waste time worrying about updating the BIOS until you confirm it won't boot without an update.

[plush wren]

idk what that is tbh

[buoyant bridge]

The stupid amount of shit you need to put a screw directly into masonary

[long beacon]

It supports this cpu but needs bios, so, I update bios first right? I’ve never updated bios on a fresh build

[buoyant bridge]

yes

[plush wren]

Ok I see now, idk havent observed drilling a hole in the wall for a screw

[buoyant bridge]

various types of concrete anchor all the same function
you drill a hole, smack the anchor in and then either tighten or put the screw in

[buoyant bridge]

if its wood or drywall you just screw into a wood stud

or use a drywall anchor/toggle bolt

[plush wren]

[buoyant bridge]

drywall anchor and toggle bolts

you need special tools for basically any type of wall in a house just the ones for drywall and wood or plaster and wood are wayy cheaper (the only special tool is a stud finder and you dont even need it if using anchors)

while for masonary like bricks or concrete you need a hammer drill, an impact driver, special fasteners that are only for masonary, special drill bits that are only for masonary

meanwhile glass/tile

[plush wren]

ts looks like something youd do lobotomy with

[plush wren]

well you just buy those once and ur good to go

[buoyant bridge]

nah its just what you use to put holes in crystaline stuff

[buoyant bridge]

thats a good $300 in tools right there

[plush wren]

i mwant the screws

[plush wren]

Still

[buoyant bridge]

theres no real special stuff for crystaline stuff

[buoyant bridge]

theres also no such thing as long life masonary bits

[plush wren]

[buoyant bridge]

you cant sharpen them when they get dull they're trash and they cost about as much as long life drill bits do

[plush wren]

idk my family has anything youd need im all good

[buoyant bridge]

other expensive tool you need for masonary lol

rotary hammer

[plush wren]

might have this

[buoyant bridge]

if you live in a country where masonary walls r common yeah probably

[plush wren]

yea

[buoyant bridge]

I actually didn't buy one till I was like 25 lol

[clear canyon]

w h a t

[buoyant bridge]

hammer drill but bigger pretty much

[clear canyon]

w h a t

[buoyant bridge]

okay so to drill into porus materials like concrete and brick you need a special bit which is blunt at the very end and you need a drill that has a hammer mechanism (its like litterally smacking the tool with a hammer thousands of times a second)

thats a bigger version of that

[plush wren]

What if

Nvm

[buoyant bridge]

if youre gonna ask

yes you can do that it just is very very slow

[plush wren]

Nah I was gonna mention Ai

Doesnt make sense tho

[clear canyon]

ok, I just reread what you originally said, and I took masonry for missionary ☹️

https://tenor.com/view/cursed-emoji-fist-emoji-crying-emoji-emoji-fist-gif-20999569

I read it way too fast

[buoyant bridge]

the things the Milwaukee super sawzall has been used for by various people cannot be discussed here but just know it's relevant to that and very weird

[rigid fjord]

wouldn't call it blunt, they're sharp to a point

[buoyant bridge]

I just buy Makita's MMR bits which are defo blunt

[fickle ivy]

whoever decided to make the esc key on this keyboard open my browser unless i hold th fn key that is on the entire opposite side of the keyboard is an actual dumbass

[buoyant bridge]

anyways this is the only explanation yall are getting xlr to sawzall adapter

[plush wren]

Good Night team

[near coral]

Fuck male and female adapters we need to make a genderless adapter to iterate after type

Type S or something

[buoyant bridge]

this is a thing

[fickle ivy]

im sure we have the ability to make a connector that fits into itself

[buoyant bridge]

its called a intersex plug lol

[rigid fjord]

SDS drill, always great to have but for the home user, really not needed, a really good combi drill with good masonary bits works perfectly fine

[buoyant bridge]

I use them for non masonary tasks a lot ngl

my cordless one has about as much torque as my corded drill does so its nice for metal sometimes too

[rigid fjord]

they look like this ?

[buoyant bridge]

MMR = Multi Material Ready

they look like this lol

outside the US they're sold under OmniBohrer

[rigid fjord]

ah, so sds fitting but different tips

i had some of the ones in the pic i sent earlier

[buoyant bridge]

they drill through basically anything lol

[rigid fjord]

but tbh, i now use these

[buoyant bridge]

makita makes the MMR bits in SDS and Hex

I have thise case here

They make a carbide tipped version too I just prefer this because it's cheaper

[zinc widget]

My dad has a box of carbide bits he uses for everything lol.

[buoyant bridge]

Makita and DeWalt both make ones you can quite literally use for everything

[zinc widget]

Like full carbide

[rigid fjord]

these can do mmr up to a point, though don't work in metal, but definitely go through brick, concrete, wood, plastic, ceramic and glass like a hot knife through butter @buoyant bridge

[zinc widget]

He’s a machinist lol they’re metal bits

[rigid fjord]

this style is fun to use btw

[buoyant bridge]

I'ma just stick with the Makita ones because they're $12 a box at home depot

[rigid fjord]

mine was £6

[buoyant bridge]

The red army lol

[zinc widget]

His tool box is funny

One drawer- random garbage
Right below it- Super expensive mitsutoyo micrometer set
Right below that-trash

[rigid fjord]

mines going that way but as einhell's

[buoyant bridge]

sounds like my truck

full of garbage and random ass expensive shit that shouldn't be in a truck

[zinc widget]

He actually ran tests on every power tool brand a decade ago. Like made a full stress test and everything.

Makita won so those became the public shop tools

[buoyant bridge]

I just buy flex and craftsman because that's what I already own

[zinc widget]

He bought Milwaukee for himself so no one would steal his shit lol

Now Milwaukee is better ngl

[buoyant bridge]

flex is the best tool brand imo

[rigid fjord]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D8KGH2Z6/

[buoyant bridge]

that turbo sawzall litterally cuts up ibeams like they are made of plastic

and the big hammer drill and impact they make LITTERALLY will beat air tools

[zinc widget]

I absolutely love Milwaukee’s M12 electric screwdriver. The clutch is really good and it never strips out screws

[buoyant bridge]

like the 1/2 flex impact gun will litterally out torque my snapon air 1 inch impact

or my 40V 1 inch ingersoll rand impact

this ingersoll rand gets its ass kicked by the flex 1/2 lol

[zinc widget]

lol my dad’s old ass Milwaukee M18 impact is better than his snap on air gun that idles like a car lmao

[buoyant bridge]

those snapon impacts don't do it fast but they where the peak in torque for the longest time

it was like 800 RPM but 2200 lb-ft or smth

[zinc widget]

What I think is funny is that I had to show my dad when to select an impact over a drill. He was using a hammer drill to put screws into load-bearing square deck supports.

[buoyant bridge]

thats... what you're supposed to do lol

[zinc widget]

He had it in screwdriver mode not hammer drill

[buoyant bridge]

yeah ik

you're supposed to put it in drill mode and drive the fastener with a drill.

none of the larger fasteners are rated for impact drivers

[zinc widget]

Impact worked better

[buoyant bridge]

the drill is bad then

I drive massive 12" timberloks with a drill on a regular

always been faster then a impact driver

[zinc widget]

Probably it’s an old ass Milwaukee M18, he got a newer Fuel one later

[clear canyon]

looks like the starter for engines with no starter

[buoyant bridge]

I use a impact wrench for that just a much smaller one

[clear canyon]

impact to start an engine?

[buoyant bridge]

yeah it doesn't ever actually impact

[clear canyon]

ummmmmmmmmm... how

you mean a drill?

[buoyant bridge]

they dont start impacting till theres enough resistance to push the anvil back

[clear canyon]

we are talking about different things, im talking about starting an engine

[buoyant bridge]

yeah I am too

[quaint jacinth]

What is like a good brand for a 1000W UPS, and what brand should I avoid?

[buoyant bridge]

the engines I have aren't large enough to have enough resistance to stop you from drill starting them its just quicker to use a impact

[buoyant bridge]

APC ig

[rigid fjord]

@buoyant bridge look up sabercut drill and screwdriver bits, also multitool blades

[buoyant bridge]

if it dosent exist in home depot or lowes I litterally wont buy it fyi

used to be home depot, lowes, ace hardware, and my local hvac dealer but yeah

[rigid fjord]

it may exist there but it's easily found on amazon

[swift moss]

Okkk duckduckgo, that's illegal

[rigid fjord]

this is old news tbh

[swift moss]

Na I'm just saying, not filter at all 😭

[rigid fjord]

https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/SabreCut/page/34D26E1A-3C1C-4A3C-93E8-83A1B6CFB828 @buoyant bridge said brand

[clear canyon]

you dont start an engine with an impact

you start it with a drill or a starter

[buoyant bridge]

my chevy 454 does not care

[clear canyon]

the impact hammers, it cant start, thats how you mess up ur crank

[buoyant bridge]

impacts only impact when there is resistance

if the anvil is not being pushed back they dont impact

[clear canyon]

its gonna hammer trying to start

the compression will cause it easily, hell, evern without the compression, it will

I've been thinking of switching to Bazzite OS. Always been curious in trying out Linux. I just don't know if I should dual boot or not. Only backup I use right is one drive. I just hate reinstalling games lol. Especially ones 100gb+

[gentle kestrel]

i wouldn’t use bazzite on a desktop

it’s setup to function like a steam deck

just use ubuntu/mint/fedora or whatever else looks interesting

[naive temple]

does anyone know a possible reason why my hdd isnt working? long story short it has been sitting for a year in a drawer and prior to that it was working perfectly. Now it wont initialise or whatever and it beeps 6 times on startup.. not sure if it did this before

[grizzled frost]

what motherboard brand

what model i should say

[naive temple]

asus prime b650m-a II

the hdd is beeping not the motherboard

[grizzled frost]

what

[south arrow]

Only ever had a dead drive beep at me but not 100% sure though

Came used from Amazon and then beeped instead of initialising

[naive temple]

new cables, unused, psu is good id say

[grizzled frost]

That sounds like a dead drive

[naive temple]

ffs

[grizzled frost]

Sounds like it's trying to spin but can't

[formal sonnet]

Make and model of drive?

[north needle]

Got electrocuted from a psu screw so i took out the tester and found this ;-;

[naive temple]

hitachi 2tb

[naive temple]

is there a fix to it

[south arrow]

Motor fail or head issues happens sometimes

[grizzled frost]

Hey, so unplug that PSU, like yesterday, and let it de-energize for a couple hours

[grizzled frost]

Nothing worth the effort unless you have 1000+ in crypto on there

[north needle]

Yeah so like, that psu is dead

[formal sonnet]

Interesting. Haven't had that happen with Hitachi drive in years. "Beeping" (rather, the drive attempting to spin up the motor or read/write head) generally means some kind of failure. If you have important data on there, you can contact a data recovery shop, otherwise replace the drive.

[naive temple]

its been sitting for a year, prior to this it was all well

[grizzled frost]

Yeah so like, that PSU is a safety hazard

[north needle]

Took it to a technician, they confirmed

[north needle]

Typical gigabyte

[naive temple]

nah i just dont want to spend my money on another drive

[grizzled frost]

Oh also check your home wiring, even dead PSUs aren't supposed to do that

[south arrow]

Feels

[naive temple]

f

[grizzled frost]

Double check that your ground isn't energized

[north needle]

Bet

[grizzled frost]

Usually the case is only connected to the ground pin of PSU

[north needle]

Anyways that psu is only a month old

[grizzled frost]

I'm really suspect that your outlet's ground is energized

[north needle]

How do i check?

Do i just stick a tester in the ground pin in the outlet?

[grizzled frost]

please don't

[north needle]

Lmao

[grizzled frost]

well

eh no, go get a proper tester

buy a cheap one

if your ground is energized, call an electrician

[north needle]

So not this one?

[grizzled frost]

Is it rated for 120VAC

[naive temple]

@formal sonnet @south arrow @grizzled frost this is what it says when i try to intialise it, dead 100%?

[north needle]

No idea

But my mom has stuck it in an outlet before and it hasnt exploded

[south arrow]

In my experience yuss if it failed 3 times and just beeps I don't think its coming back especially if you've redone all the connections

[north needle]

So probably

[grizzled frost]

As in the powered prong of an outlet?

[north needle]

Yes

[formal sonnet]

You could check it using something like CrystalDiskInfo, but if Windows can't initialize, it's likely dead.

[north needle]

Also its 220V here

[grizzled frost]

I can't in conscience suggest you- yeah please don't stick that in that outlet

[naive temple]

yeah, rip

[north needle]

Lmao sure

[grizzled frost]

Get a proper tester designed for your outlet

[naive temple]

i cant check it since it doesnt initalize 😄

[grizzled frost]

220v is about 2x as scary as 120v

[north needle]

Ill try to get a multimeter yea

[grizzled frost]

120v hurts, 220v is potentially lethal (120v is as well, but whatever)

[south arrow]

Itll give you the good hurts

10/10 dont recommended

[north needle]

Oh yea I've experienced it

[formal sonnet]

Not entirely true. If the system can "see" it enough, you may be able to check it. But yeah, if CrystalDiskInfo doesn't see it or Windows refuses to "talk" to the drive, tis likely dead.

[grizzled frost]

I am happy to say i've never been shocked by anything above 12v

12v tingles

[north needle]

A non-waterproof pump fell into my fishtank when i was like 12

My adrenaline made me grab it without turning it off

[grizzled frost]

I did a similar thing with a pan right out of the oven after it fell on the floor

[naive temple]

yeah imma just throw it away ig

[grizzled frost]

adrenaline and surprise makes you do weird things

[naive temple]

cant sell it to anyone?

[formal sonnet]

Noooo. Please recycle it responsibly.

[north needle]

Yea lmao, after i got shocked i had this weird taste it my mouth for a few minutes

[grizzled frost]

you can give it to an ewaste recycler to properly recycle it

[north needle]

It was only for like half a second

[naive temple]

yeah thats not a thing here

[grizzled frost]

Most Garbage dumps have an electronics section

[naive temple]

lol

im in a third world country

[grizzled frost]

If it's not reasonably feasible, yes just throw it away, but it's always better to recycle when possible

honestly i'd use it as an opportunity to find out what the inside of the drive looks like

they're rather pretty

Most perfect mirror i've ever seen with my own two eyes

[north needle]

Oh yeah

[naive temple]

thats a good idea too

[north needle]

I had 2 hdds and an ssd in the pc with the dead psu

[naive temple]

mqybe i can fix it

[north needle]

The two hdds survived

[grizzled frost]

That's not feasible, but looking at the pretty guts is

[north needle]

But the ssd's boot partition got fucked

The data is all still there

Confused af

[naive temple]

most annoying thing about this is that i gotta take out half the pc to take out the cable out the psu

since its there now for nothing

and im doing this at 4:44am lol

[grizzled frost]

sleep dude

[warm sage]

would taking the keyboard off of my thinkpad while it's on technically give it better performance? i only say that cuz the fan gets (slightly) better airflow

[naive temple]

i drank a monster about 4h ago

big mistake

[south arrow]

Also could try another port/cable if you find one around ❤️ who knows

[naive temple]

nah its not gonna help, these are brand new unused cables

i had a used sata cable at first thought its that

[grizzled frost]

I'm truly horrified by this prospect, but probably yes

[naive temple]

changed it for a new one didnt help

[south arrow]

Happens

[warm sage]

touchscreen keyboard time🔥

[south arrow]

I mean you do you frand 🍀

[warm sage]

is it normal if my screen flashes black when inserting charger

[empty quartz]

Meow

[trim gyro]

that can happen

[south arrow]

Mowwws

[warm sage]

why am i even asking that, what do i expect from a thinkpad i bought for $100

that i have to restart at the login screen just so the keyboard even works

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[grizzled frost]

it’s probably just the gpu changing power profiles

usually laptops will allow the gpu/cpu to use more power when plugged in

[sinful cobalt]

it’ll blackout and change settings like brightness and performance modes while plugged in

[formal sonnet]

Then what @grizzled frost mentioned makes sense. It's adjusting performance based on available power.

[random gyro]

is it better to have my OC explore mode on expert or normal?

[clear canyon]

What?

[solar moat]

why you wanting to overclock

some msi BS in bios

[solar moat]

its just hide/show some setting my advise JOIN me #overclocking

[random gyro]

oh wait i was just confused on which was better, not fully familiar with MSI bios.

[random gyro]

is it better to have pbo limits on auto, disabled, motherboard or manal

[subtle mountain]

what are good idle temps for the 9800x3d in bios? getting 40c wondering if i mounted it well

[solar moat]

read the guide

[solar moat]

idle dont matter

[solar moat]

JOIN me in #overclocking

[sinful cobalt]

for AMD OC just leave it up to mobo, manual is for those who know very well what they are doing
