Im selling my 5080 aorus master black, looks meh in the white H6 flow
bros a baller, trident royal ram as well
all this for a 1080p IPS monitor
I do
Yes?
amusing how not a single one of these shops have a aorus master ice 5080
@elder quarry Dam
?
How do you play graphically nice games?
Oh not as a main
truth be told i also have a 1080p ips
As main?
are u out of your mind
whats the best app for checking cpu and gpu temperatures?
HWinfo
MSI afterburner for in game overlay
accidentally went out for 5 hours, left my pc on and now my room is like riyadh saudi arabia 💀
thanks ill check out hwinfo
can someone help me rq in chat 2 😭
i just noticed that my r5 5600 on stock cooler is cooking for no reason 🗿
this better not be thermal paste i alr changed it once
Stock coolers aren't THAT good
i assume not THAT bad either
Stock coolers are pretty not great
They're usable but almost anything else is better
damn
they're basically the bare minimum
Yeah
I'd recommend a single or dual tower cooler
Honestly i'd just get a dual tower from thermalright, they can be had for under 40usd and perform quite well
Or an AIO
it'll be enough cooling for a while to come upgrades wise
AIO is gross overkill for a 5600 and has a more limited life span
also more expensive
lol trying to figure out how to put this on the m.2 slot on back of motherboard. https://a.co/d/i3AAeki
nah my case too small for water coolers
for most motherboards, you don't
unless you have a gap in the back of your motherboard tray
Too late figured it out https://a.co/d/2Fi60cP
funnily enough i was looking into how to solve that exact problem for my PC, so thank you
Updated network drivers and its worse now 😭
I will be promptly stealing that idea and buying those two exact items
Check BIOS
what can i fit in here?
Hi I have a g pro headset and when I do the playback loop test it hurts my ears. I’m so confused as to why it doesn’t work. Suggestions on what I should select in audio settings? Also idk what I should do because it doesnt work at all.
A micro-atx/itx motherboard
Lower the volume
for my CPU
Ph
See I’m planning an itx nas and just learned my motherboard doesn’t really support bifurcation. I wanted to have
At least 4 port hba
Optane 16gb boot drive cuz cheap as hell
10gbe
1tb NVME cache.
Was originally gonna do all m.2 stuff and use a m.2 bifurcation card. Now I’m going with a pcie hba, the 10gbe port on the m.2 on the back, the cache in the main m.2 bay, and the boot drive is just gonna be a cheap ass sata ssd.
On another note Lexar is selling TLC 128gb ssds for $14 rn
Arctic freezer A13X is a great budget option
PS120, PA120, PS120SE, PA120SE, AK620
cant find that but i can find arctic freezer 36 locally
is it comparable?
On another note why tf are all the 10gbe cards pcie gen 3 x4?
alr ty guys
Seems like a bunch had a similar idea to me
oh yeah i wanna ask: are these temps normal or indicative of an issue?
what the helly
what does hwinfo show?
Fro CPU usually above 85C
For*
I might just ask my local tech stores if they have any RH1s lying around some time later
it shows a whole lot of things and i cannot tell which ones are relevant
send a screenshot of the sensor panel here
well if over 60c at idle or over 90c when under load
i see no issues
i see
stock cooler sucks
got it
totally fine tbh
alright, thanks a lot guys
81c at 56w is pretty bad though
stock cooler ain't great but tbh, still fine temp wise
whats the max power of the cpu
uhhhhhhh, where do i find that
what cpu is it
88-125w
81c for the 5600 is doodoo ass shit
hmm
i mean it's the stock cooler, that's pretty expected
I assume its the crappier stock amd cooler
with a stock cooler and when under load, that's fine
temps r like this rn
can you put the CPU under load so we can actually see some helpful measurements?
I hate it bc stock cooler loud af
idle temps are kind of irrelevant
alright
wraith spire not wraith stealth afaik comes with it
oh they even have the wraith max/prism
but yeah stealth and spire are both not great
unles it's doing over 60c** at idle
as in ambient?
spire is actually decent a stock cooler, the stealth not so much
yeah? do you happen to be in the north pole?
its 30c in your house or outside
thats still pretty high
not really
yeah i should probably turn the AC on, 28c is high enough to ruin some meds in the cabinet
I keep it at 23.3c during the day and 21.1c during night
i assume this and bad CPU cooler are enough to make temps this bad?
correct
ic, i think all this discussion settles it, ty again u guys
room temps do affect it some
would anyone recommend this pc?

nope
what price is it for you
we cant see the price
For me it’s £509
24c room temp currently
thats pretty expensive
Yeah do you think it’s worth it or nah?
no the gpu is pretty weak
Ok
*very weak
arctic liquid freezer 2, i do have bit of an OC going on for it
maybe if it was the 8gb model it would be OK but still overpriced
ic
Any you’d recommend around that price? I’m looking for a new one
build one
no like my mic dont work
youre in europe right isnt there a good used cheap store around you
i forgot what its called but it has a red logo
Ok
CEX?
ebay tbh, good chance you could get a 5600/5600x + 6700xt build for £500 on there
yes CEX there are some fantastic deals over there
Alr thanks
i tried building my own PC and it went from childhood dream to "ughhhhhhhhhh i hope this is over soon"
i kinda realised i dont actually enjoy dabbling with expensive parts
know speaking of wraith, i do recall that when ryzen first came i out, there was a whole lot of praise for the cooler, at least WRT to intels offering
i shudder to think what prompted that reaction
Oh yeah, the top end box coolers AMD had were actually usable
The Intel box coolers worked fine on lower end parts, but most people replaced them (in the diy market)
My server is using a wraith....max I think is what it's called?
The square one with rgb
im gonna replace that cooler after i replace the desk chair i broke
5th chair i break
it seems to be called the max or prism cooler
The fuck
Yeah something like those
lets just say i have a hyperactivity problem
i lean back too much and i break it
Iv used my pc on wifi before but now after using eathernet it wont let me see any wifi’s. And says no wifi networks found
what chairs have you been using so far
i broke 2 plastic chairs, 2 wooden chairs, and a desk chair
ah
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/205592036076 as it accepts offers, you could get this for £500

I think the wraith prism was the pack in model for Ryzen 2000/3000 top skus
well a good chair doesnt even let you lean all the way back if you put enough preload on it
yeah, ill need one of these
Am I cooked
It's definitely a you problem
Why is it bent
workstation ahh pc
Its a very wide image so I needed to squish it
and with the power of money, i can make it the chairs problem
Ay, nothing wrong with it lmao
they need to increase that ram speed though
the kinda shit they have in university computer labs
Tho the gpu makes me wonder why makima is putting an old man to work
unless it literally is only 4800mt ram
am I cooked?
Explode by explosion
Yes
Missing gt210 ans the cpu be old
Gt210 > rtx 3080
lol
Here's my real specs
im running 4400mt cl19 ram but the cpu cant run it
Wat cpu
9700k
well g2 might work
Gpu makeith me engage in the fetal position
I game
Not work
Atleast its usable
Me after i put an old man to work
12 bands is crazy
Lmao no
I got it all for free, gpu was $140 so yes
Storage and the 13900kf
im the 9700k guy not the 13900k guy
I misread it
Also dont ask what im doing to get 100%
I have 4 980 pros
Ratio
It no work
True
Sadge
if i'm rolling back drivers, i should ddu yes?
Whys that
I bought it used
😦
Needs to be the og buyer 😔
joined rgb team yall 💀
Is there any way ti fix it
would be wise to ddu
Gt1030 🥀
icl i cant be bothered but might have to
By sending it to the youtuber that fixes them
blender pmo
Can you do the oven trick on it
still good for dual monitor setup
Why would I do that
rx570 can handle it easy but yeah
It can fix it possible if its a solder issue
Im pretty sure it sagged itself to death so no fixing it
Also even if I send it for repairs and be couldn't fix it id still need to pay the repair fee
Id be worth a try since its a 4090
Yiss
I need more second place lance stroll in my life
Wait hes 3rd??
he didnt finish, it was temporary
AFTER 10 YEARS MY HOMEBOY hulk placed
Did his dad pay the FIA?
he paid the rain
Makes sense
He's a sloth he doesn't like rain
he got overtaken like 15 times after that
im rooting for lance stroll this season
he seems to actually take his job a lil more seriously now
i wanna see stroll come 2nd and higher this season
but it seems I get super hyped in the middle of the race when he's second or third and then he just drops off so hard
maybe they invest daddies money into an OP car
rate the youtube music setup
out of 😭
like 89
i dont use spotify
Well u should use it and then use spicetify for a free adless music streaming experience
what do you think youtube music is then
it has ads
no
yes
ditch streaming, embrace flac
you’re streaming youtube music though
yeah but u could have a native application for music instead of a web browser
WHAT DO YOU THINK I HAVE OMDDD
bro has ublock origin on the youtube music app
mhm
there is no youtube music app
that’s stupid and stupid use spicetify now
this is third party like spicetify
Because youtube music sucks
Use spicetify
bro has a nas
yeah lol
use spicetify with it
Fml
what keyborb do you have
that with like a fifth of my music
Keyborb
my own
Yep
well yeah what is it though
that’s the entire question really
It’s a good question!
his property
whyd the cover change lol****
must be the vlc sourcing these from the internet
it should be the sza deluxe cover
this is like saying “what pc do you have” and someone replies “Mine”
"lana"
the white one
well you didnt design your pc motherboard did you
Wow you designed a keyboard pcb can you tell me about the keyboard please
split ortho miryoku
not much more to it than that
are you sure you didn’t just print the pcb with like pcbway
or did you Design your own
he posts about pcb design everyday
yeah i know
yeah no shit i printed the pcb with pcb manfucaturer i dont have milling stations at home
bro milled it
You see this is why i am asking questions so you can answer them
me with acid etching pcb on a window still would disagree 
honestly those creatures that make those - they scare me.
lmfao all jokes aside its beautiful making your own
i heard you can buy like 4000 dollar pcb "3d printer"
might be like this idk
https://www.voltera.io/products/v-one
this can mill, etch and drill vias
we did it like that in high school class
mix muriatic acid and peroxide together and etch away
cool, wish I had intersting high school classes 😭
oh boy here i go making custom GPUs
all i got was johnny shoots a ball into the air, what is the horizontal and vertical velocity and how far will it go
i really wanna try but for a custom gpu you need a custom die
ig i could make a custom gpu for an existing die but there is literally no point as you cant add any features
no id be making like custom GTX 1060 cards and such
its all locked in firmware, and as i say, if you cant improve a product through diy, dont make it
drilling holes is the most pain in the ass tho
especially for headers and chips
something that is already public and understood
1060 16GB
what improvements could you make to it?
id make an XOC variant
isnt that the same as just repasting new vram on there
that allows for more power draw?
Did I say 16GB?
I meant 64.
48gb vram variant
lemme check how many pins the 1060 bga has - that will determine my willingess to work on it
also documentation is probably extremely meh
Opinions on Redragon K551?
documentation: none
nah there are boardviews and such available
yeah fosho, i got some guys in china who could find some documentation but i doubt there is any other than manufcatuer recommendations
i have a 1060 boardview ig
yall want some free boardviews
Anybody?
||Dead bodies also accepted.||
mb wrong one thats classified
Guys do you think the top right gold pins are damaged? I'm buying these from someone and this is a pic they sent
how bout you go to #peripherals
Good idea!
this one is 3060 i think
ga10x dies
i need onna these
@peak knot bios if you need it for 6gb i just stumbled across this while scanning
@peak knot msi gtx 1060
full schematic
matching boardview but ASUS
but this is FULL reference schematic to use in your own designs
now lets make it use 24 or 48gb of vram
im busy rn 😭
@gilded imp
man what the actual fuck is the point of using a 8 balanced pair channel amplifier if you are just crunch it RIGHT BACK INTO UNBALANCED
if i wanted that I WOULD HAVE USED ANOTHER FUCKING AMP
if i bought a 128 core epyc or something similar for my work station, would i still be able to play games on it or would it just like not be as good as a regular ryzen
prolly not
i need to find out
cause i have the opportunity to buy one and i wanna know if i'd be able to game on it still or if i'd have to like put my gaming pc somewhere and just remote into it or some shit 
if it's one of the newer ones, they'll do pretty good in games
K Cooler GIGABYTE AORUS WATERFORCE II 360I AIO Liquid are they any good ? or should i go with ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 360 A-RGB
?
idk which one it'd be, either some 96 core one or a 128 core one, i could also get a dual processor one but idk if i'd need that for the simulations i do
some of them can boost to 5GHz at stock settings which is insane
Can anyone recommend me the best antennas to put on my motherboard for a fast wifi connection
the ones that came in the box with it
I couldnt find them in the box, I took this pc from my dads house
Can i use something from amazon?
you want to look up one that's like in the image
:3
what country?
US
i have fixed my laptop’s wifi issues with redneck engineering
i superglued a usb wifi card and an extension cable to the back of my laptop
Just let it die apt
also superglued the cable into the port so it can’t get disconnected
and no i will not let it die, this laptop is indestructible
Give me an hour with it, and you’ll take back saying its “indestructible”
aight bet
ptff. gimme like 10 mins, and i could find out how indestructable it is
Itll still be fixable with 10 minutes
eh, not so much
1 hour is long enough to melt it down completely
true, its a thinkpad
45 seconds is tbh
theres a reason these are used on the space station
Nvm, i only need 5 minutes then
45s
It takes like 3 minutes to get my tools, and 1 minute to get everything set up
are you a data destruction expert or something
hahaha
what are yall's primary timings for your ram
18 8 20 21 52
Well, i do alot of stuff related to data privacy at work
hell if i know
thermite dude, leaves molten mess when done
thats overkill
But it takes like 5 minutes to make
@rigid fjord come laugh at this 😭
Unless you have a shit ton just sitting around for some reason that i will not question
what speeds
3600 1:1
2T i suppose
😭 people are giving actual advice and this guyyyy
@neat zinc all i need is an axe, and a pickaxe
basically a bridge rectifier with variable voltage/current output dude
And some cinderblocks
no overcurrent protection, the transistor has the base as the output
i do have a lump hammer, a sledge, and a canadian axe
Or a blowtorch and a cinderblock
Blowtorch will cause the battery to achieve thermal runaway
it's in 1T
a nail could also ')
ah mb its PNP but still, wrong arrangement
@trim gyro i've been trying to oc my ram for this whole day and no matter what timings i use, if i go beyond 6200mhz it just crashes my windows
i have hynix chips
No, not thermal runaway for li-po
They’ll just smoke
stock was 6000@cl32
Thermal runaway tho is fucking scary
6200 is about as high as you can go on Ryzen 7000
how so
You can go higher, but you dont get benefits
like why is that the way it is
Ask amd
and how'd you know i'm on amd 7000 series
it has a very weak memory controller
Amd’s imc has always been shit for some reason
it's a guess
you're forgetting how much damage a rust nail can do, dude
is that why their cpus suck with single channel ram
ehhh ryzen 8000 apus are decent with a proper board (apex) but thats an exception
transistor anihilator
oops my power fluctuated and now my house is on fire
Literally all cpu’s suck with single channel
im debating making my own vs buying one off of alibaba lol
yeah but amd is considerably worse
especially with the old G series apu
making my own is probably fine
you ntice how many caps there are for filtering and stability?
idk i just saw a spreadsheet online i'm just going off of that
two
and 1 dc blocking capacitor
@peak knot do you think my 2695v4 could handle 8x32gb 4rx4 ecc dimms at 2400?
will need a lot of blue smoke refill kit
is it just me or did the 6000 series gpu's exibit decently loud coil whine? I heard a lot of stories of how it has lessened and muffled over time (just started using a 6750 xt)
unsure as i dont have experienc with ecc really
Fair
i have a 6750 xt and the coil whine is pretty annoying sometimes
mb that not in series, its wired across to directly
Idk if the imc could handle it
i'm not sure if it's my psu or my gpu
Lol noobs im on a 6700xt no coil whine
so just 3
-50 
better than +50 with coil whine
it can happen on any gpu and it is a combination of psu, gpu and other loads
technically 3, the first 2 are providing the power to be stable going to the transistor, and thelast one after to smooth out the power when it comes to changing current/voltage via the pot
i use headphones so i can't hear it anyway


some 6700xts have coil whine too
yeah i meant 3, i though the third was wired through the wires not across it
i'm really pissed i can't go beyond 6200mt/s
can't even tighten timings without crashing
4 dimm slots?
thats 2 channel 1DPC
those mobos are not know for great ram oc potential
and no thats common on ryzen 7000
just like
kindas reminds me of this
all 4dimm mobos?
ye
going high capacity/ 2DPC on ryzen 7000 can limit you to like 5400 cl32
i have 6200 cl32
doesnt matter
so no i'd rather not
even having unocupied slots limits your speeds
how the fuck is that even possible
no, you want only 2/4 populated
Chat we fucked up
except its got safety ( a little bit)
you*
electrical engineering is very dark magic
Yeah I fucked up
would it be worth it to try tighten timings and go back to 6000mhz
is bro croatian
Sending this so I don't have to retype
copy & paste
look what some people do to get higher speeds
explain?
i mean shit i'd do that too man
shielding
shielding does what exactly
thats a 2 dimm OC board, what your talking about doesnt apply to normal people
lets be fair here you know damn well what i mean @plush wren
using the default discord stickers is actually crazy
what is bro on
they're funny
white name tag
@peak knot you fw patriot viper DDR5 right
no
well well well
not a soul asked you
look who it is
not really all i have are gskill kits atm
white name tag
ah alr
what's up with you and white name tags
shannon never sent me any XOC kits...
notice how you are the only one here with a white name tag
I have a good gskill H16A kit but I want a H24M kit and I’m considering a Patriot Viper kit
so are you insinuating i am inferior to you because i am of other colored name?
It’s 8200 38-48-48 1.45v
yeah my 24gb kit is the prize country cup kit gskill sent me
that's crazy
I have that 6000cl26 1.4v kit they only sold for like a month lmao
welcome new member
almost hit 9000 with it
i'm not new
I need my mpower to get out of fkin customs dude
I’ll be sad
@lethal bay communist ferret recently dropped off a chiller at my place, its been modded to remove thermostat limits so i can go subambient
Reasonable
lol nice
I need to sort out a subambient solution for home use but that’s later down the road I think

WMD has it still

well I may need to borrow for CC if I get ambitious

no flexibile work hours?
It’s salary so like yes but actually no
im sallaried and have flex work hours
i just have to have workdays*8 hours at the end of month
You wild for that
is a 5070 at msrp good
no, its has 12 gb of vram
is 67 hours basically unused?
hey so i need some help deciding. i dunno if i sould get the Gigabyte B550 GAMING X V2 or the Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING, the price diffrence is abt 63 dollars diffrence
12gb good tho?
The average steam gamers use like 8gb or less anyways
for the price, no
what kinds of games do u play
and what resolution are u aiming for
the cheapest option
Hello
I ordered a Rx 9060 xt today 16gb model , I was gonna go with the rtx 5060 ti but that model was 140 pounds more , honestly don't know what to expect, anyone here using a 9060xt?

Really surprised to see it for it's release price honestly the price to performance is amazing
Hi, i'm planning to buy a new PC and build it myself, but this time i want to go with amd graphics card, a RX 9070 XT. But just right now i saw a Tiktok about someone whose 9070 xt crashes all the time and also on reddit lot of people having similiar issues. Some are saying things like "yes thats typical for amd" or such things. So is it a bad idea to go with a AMD card or especially a 9070xt. Would be a shame cause the card seems pretty awesome. Thanks for every answer
me personally i wouldn't trust tiktok tech advice
I’m doing a fresh build, I’ve redone the front panel connectors, I’ve double checked all my connections, jumped the power button and still have nothing at all
Yeah of course, but a lot of people on Reddit had the same issue
idk, i'll let someone more learned tell you
Alright, but thanks
bro this is SOOOO cheap
Bomb
would that not be like a 50W power supply
all i need for 5v rails, and then for 900w just use like
im gonna use a linear one probably with a transmforer
idk what that is
but then you'd need a step down transformer for the 24v
i was just saying its cheap in general
clearly a 5v option there
true
besides stepping down is fine, ldo reduces noise even more
these are decent but so little watts
Isn’t that basically AliExpress shipping a nuclear weapon to your house
no
yes
ok
What exactly am I supposed to say to that
Insanity
1660 super + Ryzen 5 3600 for 250 euros is kinda crazy
yo bro can you hide my name next time thanks
what
im selling that pc bro🥀
Sure you are
no im not
bruh
What would you guys rate this deal /10
Wtf am I even looking at
"i don't understand what i'm looking at" = bomb
Most likely is - that is a doorbell transformer they've been in houses since like 1920
true, its certified since 2011
perfect
Have those in my DAC
yeah i need one for my dac lol -> then im using linear power circuitry
people say smps has caught up though so idk
im also using this for the power amp hence the crazy voltage
so im gonna have a 40v area and then 5v area
this is perfect for my project
damn 2, that is fancy
yeah its chinese but its well made
i could look up audio toroidal ones
though it uses some small like 1.8-2.0" OLED display or something and its burned in/dying, so I need to find a replacement
or just get a new DAC
damn
i build u one lol (150usd shipping ahh)
display is almost like this
people really be expecting me to make an actual piece of shit 😭 in those audio engineering forums
I like the design of R2R DACs
yeah topping is a good brand
Mine is Gustard
Flagship Performance, Powerful, StableThe D70 Pro SABRE adopts the ES9039SPRO, the flagship 32-bit DAC chip of SABRE redesigned by ESS company. Brand New I/V ConversionNew I/V conversion circuitry is designed to give you higher quality audio playback. Our circuitry uses an exclusive design that provides lower distortio
quite small as well
have had some topping also
but yeah, im making my own dac so i need a transformer (and not die hopefully :D)
you won't die
thats reasurring, besides i dont work on live circuits, im not the impatient kind
you reckon its fine using the same transformer for both 40v and 5v lines or just use two transformers
all the high quality setups use separate
i could rip apart a usb charger and just use that SMPS for 5v, it doesnt need to be clean linear
well there ya go, i could use a ripped apart usb charger and then dedicated toroidal for the power stage, thanks
im making the preamp first anyways
just use the prongs from a c13 cable into these
only issue is it only has 2 legs
Hi, if I get a Microsoft office licence that’s bound to my MS account, can I use it on multiple devices at once?
im pretty sure
as long as those devices have ms account
you dont need an office license to use office if you use other methods though
Oh ok, so the other licence that’s bound to the pc can only be used on 1 device at once?
yes
Yes but there is a limit of how many devices can use it at once
Wow, that is a lot of features in a DAC (in such a clean package to boot.)
Why?
Bc save ur money unless a board has the features you want that the other one does not

Aside from the racist aspect, this is dystopian af 😭😭
Can't drive a car if I'm "drowsy" omddd
I get like if I'm high or something, but like cmon
nah the car company is in the right for this one
I'd very happily have a alcohol tester in my car that are the keys to the car, but not non quantifiable metrics like drowsiness
Yeah of course
oh you just know if a car company seriously attempts this, within approx 0.33 seconds there will be tutorials on how to spoof it
i have a question
i'm trying to buy this game but i dont know which one is a good deal
Are you deadass
nah im just trolling
getting linux lite for a 2012 laptop lol
I think windows actually hates me.
90% of all applications and folders are hidden several apps won't launch, control pannel and the apps that relate to that seem to be gone like completely I have no idea what is wrong with it and have to try to repair it I guess
random as hell.
My OCZ Vertex 4 has finally died after an odd ~13-14 years of constant use. they dont make them like this anymore.
might be a 3rd party app i had somthing similar and that was the cause
See I only have some normally ish apps installed weirdest one is afterburner
yea if you can look though all the files you prob good
most likely widows
Yeah I can show hidden files but it broke several apps like Firefox
I'm going to try repairing windows because even after uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox it won't work
Discord is stuck in the "starting" screen as well
who needs firefox really
All my stuff is there and it's what I'm used to

But I did install chrome and it also won't launch
Built my second Gundam kit and put it

Maybe for like 7 of them...
Bro Alex o Connor is so funny lmfaoo
"the Christian church came a little too late for the amalekites"
Yeah I think my windows install fubar'ed itself with that update weird
Time to move files I want saved before I reinstall windows for the 3rd time this week...
LOL
i dont remember fortnite costing that much lol
Yeah inflation amiright 
any guesses for why just using chrome makes my parent's CPU max out anytime i open a tab
i7-8700k, not amazing, but not old enough to warrant a single chrome tab making it look like that
ram or storage?
id also check chache and history
Neither are capping out
maybe try a reinstall
Freshly restarted
chrome moment
They said it's being more sluggish than normal
any extensions on the browser
windows update possibly?
auto updates
that too
disabling norton for my chrome user made it so much better
like capping out at 50% instead of 100%, better
Oh shit I am very drunk
Yup ^^
As long as you don’t click on shady download buttons you’re fine
Amazing
exactly
might be good to invest into a pi router thing or just adblock
🫂
⭐ ublock ⭐
is that still a thing on chrome
I use unlock in edge
Network wide Adblocking can be really annoying lmao. A decent extension does the trick.
idk what issues can it cause
yeah
blocks some random stuff sometimes
ah
ive had it block local ips and stuff
Plus some websites are plain unusable with an Adblock on
"anti virus good, keep from get virus"
yeah but just dont click on stuff
It Plex is being very slow to load
That means it's a me problem, right?
"it cost $100 it must be good"
Ik that, but my parents refuse to understand
yeah its good they are cpu mining on your browser lol
Okay nvm clicking play 30 times on Plex worked
it ain't a hill i'm trying to die on (literally)
Anti viruses are such a scam. They quite literally leech off of people’s lack of pc knowledge to sell a product they don’t need.
well then its not ur problem lol
they either uninstall it or deal with it
They’re actually just plain unethical if you ask me.
i'm well aware, again, this is my parents PC
See if you can educate them on how to browse the internet safely and use inbuilt os functions
Other than that, idk
Windows defender >>>
Exactly
Idk i’ve never felt like windows defender let me down
I've tried, so many times, again, not a hill i'm willing to die on
refund norton new cpu lol
I’m 17 now and I haven’t gotten a piece of malware yet, glad my parents have an iq above 30
id just tell them its the antivirus and walk away
I despise anti virus stuff so much.
So many less pc inclined people have lost so much money, it’s actually fucked.
ehhhh
if it were me i’d just uninstall norton lmao, my parents would never notice the difference
me too
they love seeing those norton notifications
makes them feel like it's doing something beneficial
i'll just tell them "either get rid of norton or cope with it being slow"
ye
It’s the fact that a lot of those antiviruses detect less shit than defender too while being spyware on top of it
fuck you john cortes you waited a weekend to say this
can i stop coil whine
I use ciscos anti-virus...
fuck i want a new gpuuuuuuu
i mean kinda
ive got my eyes on this
ew
lol
Fascinating.

is this impressive for linpack 8GB benchmark?

Initial tests were returning 75-76C gpu temp and a 98-99C hotspot temp with a 100C peak
after reapplying paste (kryonaut)
Now reading
67C gpu temp with an 80.8C peak hotspot
what did you do?
Both tests after 1hr+ furmark stress
ah, nice
Repasted
No u
it actuall worked rlly well
Bloody factory probably didn’t put enough paste on, you can see in the pic I sent there was barely any on there
O I !
interesting
Cable mgmt
like a small dab or just covered it?

small dab of the super thin stuff on all the inductors
also hi jp
Guys I’m aware I’m on carpet ok the pc is not stationed on carpet the room is being renovated everything is temporary
it wicks right in
Hoi Bill-e~
Hearts of iron 
How you doin
damn cant even tell
yeah except the warranty sticker thatll prob bite me in the ass when i try to sell it but
ikr, 6700xt as well
meh
Pretty good considering the form factor
it helps when you tell them its never been opened
but temps are lower anyway so
thats when you hit em with the "repasted with PTM"
mx6 but close enough
I am currently distracted 3 ways:
- watching an art stream (in another server)
- watching something on YT about an app called Friction
- just finished eating and might end up getting back onto something for my second Art Fight.
adhd moment
🥹
Lmao.
Gotta get all the stimulation in somehow.
I usually study with discord (in call), YouTube and Spotify open
Here’s the front with some strimers
Kinda don’t like the gpu Strimer all big n thick and just no room for it
Kind of is. Lol.
I might downgrade the cooler tbh literally for aesthetic purposes
The brain is weird, I get overwhelmed at the shops and when playing certain games, but focus when there’s 5 different things going on in front of me.
yeah
looks nice tho
Looks solid
Soo uhh what’s friction lmao
I’ve been having an RGB nightmare otherwise I’d show it off in full glory
Oh man my ram has been giving me nothing but issues with rgb lmfao
I’ve given up. I just turn the rgb off
Apparently one of the open-source alternatives to After Effects.
Was only watching that vid because I had no idea what it was and it had showed up in my YT suggestions.
Huh cool. Love some open source action
Man I wanna get into video editing again.
My issue is managing all the lighting like if I just got an RGB hub/fan controller it would fix all of my problems I’ve just been lazy
Gonna end up going the good ol fashion route, 4 different programs for all the pretty lights
Video editing is such an itch I need to scratch lmao.
thats what im doing for college reh
I think I have a forbidden daisy chain situation going on, so like my front three fans can’t be controlled independently
Absolute cancer 
they be expensive
cablemod does some good ones, i would recommend extensions instead of the actual kits though if you have the space
4000d prob has space
I kind of regretted getting the bigger thicker Strimer for the gpu but that will go away as I’ve gotta downgrade the cooler anyway it’s just too beefy. It’s even supposed to have a 2nd fan on there but can’t fit
oh yeah you should be good
thats way smarter acc
PSU cables cant be mix and matched (usually) so getting extensions is usually easier and less to worry about
thank you
^ this
High quality extensions over direct PSU cables @ebon prawn
np :3
The only psu cable worth considering is like a 12v2x6 for a 40/50 gpu
whats moidflex vs modmesh
but it looks better
I think just the materials they encase their wires with
Looks the same
Just go with modmesh
only 2$ diff
Yeah idk about that. I don’t buy directly from cablemod with all that selection etc
true
it would look so good tho
esp with the stupid gpu cables being 2x 8 pins on one wire
I find stuff like this
Are those the rgb ones
Centrecom is solid

They are so expensive lol
And they’re only extensions too I still had to buy a 12v2x6 😭
Im staying away from 12hpwr
Goofy connector
Should've never been used to begin with
You seriously rather the octopus adapter
This was my cable mgmt before the strimers/extensions
Dual 12hpwr is gonna go so hard
I velcroed and hid all the leftover connectors and was worried the thick straps would cause heating isssues lmfao
Yike
Ikr 😭
s
finally success
Yeah at least its specced properly
Can prob do more than a 12vhpwr
i installed arch
M3no you’re Aussie right
Same 
it took me 2 days 1 rage quit and 3 tries

bricks it in 2 hrs
Finally someone I can talk about pricing with that makes sense
I’m like an hour and a half out of Melbourne 
Oh I’m west side Melb working in the cbd lolz
nah nah im not briking it
is your pc a prebuilt from centrecom 
Fire
Bricked it
welp if 3rd times the charm windows should work again now
I did brick my windows install today
finally figured out how too
Flux capacitor not engaged?
Damn you didn’t make sure the filanges were stable
anyways this is the 3rd windows install on my pc this week
Sounds like you’ve got problems. Get double glazing
can an oil diffuser fuck up my pc
If you pour the oil onto a component sure
well so to install windows on my main drive I had to install it on a 2nd drive to then format my main drive since I couldn't reformat it with linux because thats the drive linux was installed on so I had to install windows on my 2nd drive then my first and then I borked my install so now im on install number 3
Jesus
What are you trying to accomplish dear friend
they oil can collect on the pc if its too close like how if you vape or smoke near your pc it will too
show hidden files...
