[limber ermine]

Still older than me though

[reef pollen]

have you selected the GPU ?

[carmine yew]

I'm surprised that p3 boards were still AT then

[unreal bramble]

no

how well can the 4060 run 1440p?

[limber ermine]

Well I guess I need to buy a new case then

[reef pollen]

nah, its a1080p card

[azure topaz]

depends on how hard the game is youre running

[azure topaz]

theres no such thing as a gpu made to only play 1 resolution

[carmine yew]

Fbm usually has some

[azure topaz]

it runs what it runs, exclusively locking off cards to X resolutions is kinda stupid

[unreal bramble]

want me to tell you what plans to play? minecraft and skyrim are the only games i can think of

[azure topaz]

that would play 1440p on a 4060 just fine

[woeful sentinel]

Is it possible to ask someone if they can pickparts in this channel for a budget build

[azure topaz]

most games with DLSS would also 100% be fine as long as your definition of fine is 60fps

[unreal bramble]

you could

[reef pollen]

I just hate 4060 for no reason

[limber ermine]

Pardon? What's a fbm

[reef pollen]

😆

[carmine yew]

But if you want that aesthetic look for the FLP-02 later this year.

Fbm = fb marketplace

[unreal bramble]

i mean i can still change the monitor for something thats 1080p for cheaper

[woeful sentinel]

Can someone help me pick parts for a 1000-1500 cad budget build

[unreal bramble]

thats why im looking for help with the part list

[unreal bramble]

thats childs play LOL

but first what games

[limber ermine]

Dang actually I like it but might be expensive 😭

I can get PC case from China brand new for like 15 buck

[reef pollen]

depends on ur preference. I would go for 1080p, where i can max my car with 5060ti or 4070 + 5 7600x

[woeful sentinel]

Im trying to play a lot of fps ,team games and any game tbh

[unreal bramble]

like i said thats always an option

[reef pollen]

if u dont have plans for streaming or editing then you can ofc go for 1440p

[unreal bramble]

though i should mention she does want to record gameplay for her youtube channel

[reef pollen]

i faced a similar problem when i built my first pc. compromised on my cpu, later was not able to stream properly.

[limber ermine]

yeah i can't find the case lol

[reef pollen]

right now i am going for 7700x with 5070ti or 5080

[south arrow]

Prime day has AMD cpu going nearly $100 off a few of the latest gen chips

[fallen sky]

Let’s gooooo my mom said yes to me building my own PC GG

I might need to make a parts help thread soon

[limber ermine]

god damn it, every case in the world nowadays have glass side panel

[unreal bramble]

anyways im looking for a curved monitor either 1080p or 1440p for my own rig (ryzen 7 7800x3d with a 4070 super)

around 27 inches

https://pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#r=256001440,192001080&F=685800000&C=1&sort=price

this is my specific filter that im looking at

[reef pollen]

Samsung 32" (80cm) Odyssey G5 Fast IPS 2K Gaming Monitor|QHD 2560 x 1440|180 Hz|1ms|350nits|HDR

[rigid ether]

Oled or non oled

[unreal bramble]

im not spending extra money on oled

[carmine yew]

It's not out yet

[unreal bramble]

imo its not exactly worth it

[carmine yew]

I did say "later this year'

[carmine yew]

You say that until you daily one

[woeful sentinel]

Can someone help me pick parts for a 1000-1500 cad budget build

[unreal bramble]

i cant afford one is the issue

[carmine yew]

Oleds are amazing

[limber ermine]

lol where can you get free pc case

holy shit

[unreal bramble]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/q4xxFT/samsung-odyssey-g55c-320-2560-x-1440-165-hz-curved-monitor-ls32cg552enxza what about this monitor?

for myself that is

[stray holly]

Not a good panel as it is curved and a VA panel.

And terrible PPI as its 32" for 1440p.

[unreal bramble]

yes im looking specifically a curved panel

[stray holly]

Unfortunate.

[unreal bramble]

https://www.samsung.com/us/business/computing/monitors/curved/390-series-27-curved-taa-compliant-lc27f390fhnxgo/ this is the monitor im currently using

might not be the best specs but it works pretty well for me

[sinful cobalt]

curved panels are mainly cheap trashy VA

[unreal bramble]

https://www.asus.com/bt/displays-desktops/monitors/eye-care/vx228h/ this is my second monitor LOL

[twin grove]

Asus has some good curved ips displays

[unreal bramble]

well the samsung monitor i do have doesnt seem like trash

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/CpNYcf/asus-tuf-gaming-vg27aq3a-270-2560-x-1440-180-hz-monitor-vg27aq3a

or https://pcpartpicker.com/product/mgWJ7P/asus-rog-strix-xg27acs-270-2560-x-1440-180-hz-monitor-xg27acs

the ROG strix may be a bit more but i think i like it more than the TUF

[stray holly]

Those are terrible, grab this instead for your budget https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDOybDnJ9cM https://www.bestbuy.com/site/aoc-27-q27g40xmn-mini-led-qhd-180hz-gaming-monitor-black/6617199.p?skuId=6617199

[unreal bramble]

again im not wanting a flat panel

im looking for a curved panel

my friend would be ok with a flat panel

she doesnt care tbh

[unreal bramble]

just realized this isnt curved anyways LOL

thats why i was looking at samsung panels cause i havent had any issues with mine

https://www.elgato.com/us/en/p/stream-deck-mini would this be useful for my friend for like stopping and starting recordings and such?

[sinful cobalt]

alienware UWQHD 34’ 165hz 0.1ms curved oled

[unreal bramble]

no

[azure topaz]

yooo i wonder if i can undervolt the surface

its pretty old so i reckon ill be able to

[sharp ivy]

W

[fallen sky]

I made my own with some help from a friend but never did it solo

[sharp ivy]

Ah so you have some experience

[fallen sky]

Yeah

[sharp ivy]

That's good

[fallen sky]

I’ll ask stuff about cable management cuz fuck that

But other than that I’m good

[thorn pewter]

good.

[sinful cobalt]

dual chamber just stuff it allnin the back

[robust trail]

Nothing wrong with flat panel. Curved is good for optical aberrations and being able have better acoustics for when you need to hear things behind you.

[sinful cobalt]

triple a games its a RIP

[thorn pewter]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1356765177298817105/1391557685849362492/caption-1.gif

[rigid ether]

csgo gud, triple A -> its gonna die

[sinful cobalt]

car

[robust trail]

Car?

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/midnight-racing-tokyo-skill-issue-car-crash-crash-cars-gif-4091037617722771628

[sinful cobalt]

racing simulators

truck sims

curved panels are hella popular within the racing sim space

[robust trail]

Yes, they are. I use one for Elite Dangerous.

Great for being able to hear my wife sneaking up behind me.

[sinful cobalt]

Bcs the alternative is like triple monitor, but its preferred that they are all the same exact, and you need some things to like, hide the bezels and empty spaces

[robust trail]

The super crazy ultra wide that Samsung makes is… fine? The stretched out G9

[sinful cobalt]

isnt that the crazy long curved monitor

[robust trail]

I have the original G9 and I used it for a while. Now it sits dark on my test bench. 😂

The dimming zones were wonderful. All 9 of them or whatever

[sinful cobalt]

Im looking to get the moza r3 and have a fkass sim setup

with just the standard x1 horizontal x1 vertical monitor

i am not affording a full on triple oled, and Im not willing to go into the curved oled space

[robust trail]

Have you considered a bigscreen beyond?

[sinful cobalt]

no, its just a moza R3

pretty basic and simple with FFB

my concern now is still waiting for a 5080 aorus master ice on shopee so I can someday abuse vouchers on it and bring the price down closer to MSRP

[robust trail]

Oled is great but the price is pretty gnarly. I’d take a qd led with a quality panel over it for big chunky displays

[dry gust]

if he just needs some extra buttons he could do that a hell of a lot cheaper than this

[sinful cobalt]

Im currently using the QDOLED QHD 360hz panel

its tbh my ideal monitor for gaming, but for media consumption I’d prefer something like a 4k 32’ oled display

I’d also take the bigger monitor for sim racing

[robust trail]

I’m currently on the 32” 4K rog oled, ordered a second for portrait mode log reading

With a Samsung ark for simulators

[sinful cobalt]

a 2nd for potrait mode, damn.

[robust trail]

Because… for some reason I like seeing the pixels on a 4K display

[dry gust]

anyone got any 4tb nvme recommendations? all the ones on sale on amazon right now promise basically the same performance for the same prices, I haven't found any good reviews online or comparison sites

[sinful cobalt]

I just use some samsung 1080p 100hz for vertical discord and wtv

[sinful cobalt]

I wanted to cop the 4K 32’, but the 360hz QHD was on a killer deal

[robust trail]

Don’t concern yourself heavily with big giant numbers that don’t mean shit. Gen 3/4 4TB can be found for a reasonable price. I personally use WD but I’m old and set in my ways.

[stable beacon]

send sauce

[plain cypress]

5k 27" QD-OLED panels are coming

[sinful cobalt]

The fragrant flower blooms with dignity

Just got an anime few days ago

OLED panel and RTX HDR is 👌

[dry gust]

I was eyeing up a WD drive but the one on sale on amazon right now has slower read and write speeds than most of the others, I plan on doing video encoding and 3d animation so I'm thinking I want the most bang for my buck. but I'm worried if I get the cheapest one with the biggest numbers it will underperform relative to what it claims to

[robust trail]

I’m glad you like the color space stretching 😄

[robust trail]

If you can get a gen4 for around $300 I would steal that. If you’re in the US wait for prime day if you use amazon

I have a pile of gen4 WD Black SN8 somethings. They rip and I run stupid heavy read/writes

[unreal bramble]

i was gonna try out the new virtual stream deck that elgato has but i cant figure out how to even use it

and not the mobile one btw

https://www.elgato.com/us/en/s/virtual-stream-deck

[dry gust]

I'm in europe, prime day's already started here. there are a few drives under 300 dollars, cheapest one is a lexar which is a brand I've never heard of, 2nd cheapest is a crucial drive which seems more dependable. I hate making decisions 😬

[robust trail]

Lexar is legit

They’ve been around longer than most of the people in the LTT discord have been alive

[agile stag]

mfs here talking about some "my bread isnt working" my saint you purchased wonder bread for five dollars

[dry gust]

I'll take your word for it, I reckon I'm one of the zoomers you're talking about here lol

[unreal bramble]

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/gaming-mouse/ch-931f000-ww/m55-wireless-gaming-mouse-ch-931f000-ww would this be a good mouse for my friend?

[robust trail]

Lexar is OG portable storage/imaging

[agile stag]

i like the g502 personally

[silent peak]

anyone able to help looking for a good solution to power fans externally i was looking for possibly a fan hub that can be powered off a usb a or c connection for a simple hookup but not having much luck

[agile stag]

i just went from like 12v dc to molex and then molex to sata and then i spliced the fan wires onto it

or something roughly like that iirc

coulda been molex to sata

[dry gust]

last point then, the lexar is about 270 dollars and boasts 7000MB/s Read, 6000MB/s Write, then there's a WD slightly cheaper at 260 bucks that has 5500MB/s read, /5000 write. I guess for the 10 bucks difference I'll go for the lexar if it's reputable as you say

[agile stag]

no wait sata to molex then molex to that uh small 4 pin one and then i just jumped it there since it was a pretty normal pin size

no cutting or soldering needed :3

maybe some cutting but no soldering and no wire cutting the way i did it

[silent peak]

im looking to modify my entertainment center for better airflow

[agile stag]

laptop coolers are also probably good for cooling av stuff with top/bottom vents

[robust trail]

Lexar is a good brand, super solid. I have been rolling high speed storage/engineering absurdly fast storage solutions. Lexar is good.

[agile stag]

my friend uses one and it looks like it works

hh ill be fucked when i have to finally take care of my items but ill see

[unreal bramble]

alright now whats a good keyboard thats not too expensive

[agile stag]

one i have for sale

probably i bet i could find one and still scrape my profit

run ts as cheap as 20 for a mechanical but thats a lot of work

[silent peak]

so i have an Xbox series x i don't have room to put it up top and the the cubby with cable holes is to short for it to stand up its a wide open front no doors but i guess its still over heating cause it sounds like fan is running full speed

[agile stag]

huh also apparently no more analog gpu driver updates

i gotta rush now to make a 980ti/titan build before stuff works less good gr although gtx 600 series at least works fine enough

[silent peak]

i know Linus did something like this for his in his entertainment center with doors years ago

[unreal bramble]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jfddnQ/samsung-lf27t350fhnxza-270-1920x1080-75-hz-monitor-lf27t350fhnxza is this a good 1080p monitor? (75 Hz and only $100)

[agile stag]

not the worst uh i got a 120$ 180hz 1080 27" aopen at microcenter

[unreal bramble]

really just looking for a 1080p monitor for my friends PC

[agile stag]

cheap monitors do good although they dont really shock you with a nice image but its ok

used monitors are also cheap

(if you buy a cheap one)

[unreal bramble]

whats the best panel (besides OLED) to look for?

[agile stag]

probably ips id say

its really standard and sure your blacks will be blue and stuff but otherwise theyre really good at being average

my main monitor is sadly an ips but it gets the job done

[unreal bramble]

my main is a VA monitor LOL

[agile stag]

and then you can get nicer looking monitors that arent as good as other things and enjoy them and be happy :3

i run an ips main monitor but my second is a crt and my tv is a plasma but they do good

crt(not even a newer one) confidently has the best blacks by far its wild what they do but its also the least daily-able monitor but it still does good

[sinful cobalt]

whats ur opinion on getting a 4tb P3 plus just for secondary storage and maybe some games?

[sinful cobalt]

IPS
particularly fast IPS

[agile stag]

i wonder if i can get a laptop with a 1tb ssd for less than the cost of a 1tb ssd

[unreal bramble]

so this would be fine?

[fallen sky]

woudl you guys recommend kelvv?

[agile stag]

thats wild hell no wtf

[unreal bramble]

never heard of that brand

[agile stag]

too many fake ssds out there

[fallen sky]

its used for budget oriented builds

[sinful cobalt]

klevv is a legit brans lmao

but its budget af

[fallen sky]

ill stick with teamgroup then

[agile stag]

[unreal bramble]

[agile stag]

[sinful cobalt]

i wouldnt go used unless they show the health

[fallen sky]

i love teamgroup :))

[agile stag]

and most of my used hardware is like 100% fine and if its not it so cheap that its ok

[unreal bramble]

https://www.amazon.com/TEAMGROUP-InnoGrit-ultra-thin-graphene-TM8FFE001T0C129/dp/B0BW8BMSX5?th=1

have a shorter link LOL

[agile stag]

meh perhaps but also if youre paying like nothing for them to a certain point you might not care

[fallen sky]

what the hell

i just looked up why the amazon links were so long

[unreal bramble]

like holy hell that link you posted was LONG

[agile stag]

grr i gotta check the health on that 20$ laptop with the 512ssd

[rigid ether]

Teamgroup is solid

[fallen sky]

picked them for my first PC's RAM and storage

very nice

[frigid blade]

Wow the stock results for the GTX 965M on steel nomad is 73

That’s so bad

[unreal bramble]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rnGxFT/cooler-master-masterbox-q300l-microatx-mini-tower-case-mcb-q300l-kann-s00 would this case be fine for a microatx build?

[agile stag]

you are

[unreal bramble]

i know i would have to add a couple case fans to it

[agile stag]

youre the bad one for saying 73 is bad fuck you grrrrr

(growls at you with distaste for your opinion)

73 is fine grrrr evil server

ive seen people complain about temps in the 60s

only here

[frigid blade]

Dawg

[unreal bramble]

would 1TB be enough for my friend

[agile stag]

dawg shell be ok

[frigid blade]

I’m not talking about temps

73 was the fucking score

On steel nomad

[unreal bramble]

also can someone recommend a specific nvme ssd?

[agile stag]

huh ok carry on then

[frigid blade]

I forgot what my 4090 does but it’s at like 20k

lol

So 73 is really slow

[agile stag]

grr uh the inland one

[agile stag]

fair it tries though

[unreal bramble]

[frigid blade]

I’m overclocking it rn

[rigid ether]

Its good

[frigid blade]

I got it up to 120

[agile stag]

my old fuck laptops usually hold themselves together during benchmarks they do good

[frigid blade]

This one is from 2015 it’s a gaming laptop

[agile stag]

i gotta benchmark my t410 sometime its replacing my framework laptop

[frigid blade]

At the time it cost more than $1k

[rigid ether]

What are u planning to do on ur pc

[agile stag]

temporarily i guess

[frigid blade]

It has a dedicated GPU, GTX 965M

[agile stag]

expensive things are fun

[frigid blade]

And it weighs 10 pounds ._.

[agile stag]

i got a thinkpad the other day with a gpu but my friend wants it

it woulda been a lower 700/800 series though or something so its not a huge loss

[fallen sky]

fuh i need ATX case suggestions

[agile stag]

and it was an s anyways

[agile stag]

phanteks enthoo or something

5.25 bays mm

[frigid blade]

I like the phanteks Enthoo pro

It has space for 11 drives

[rigid ether]

Coolermaster is cheap

[unreal bramble]

i wonder if a 60%/65% keyboard would be more than enough for my friend

[agile stag]

i have an enthoo of some form i like it but i wish it was more premium

its ok though im poor so ill get a new one once im not

[frigid blade]

Why don’t you ask your friend

[agile stag]

more than enough is wild

[unreal bramble]

shes probably sleeping LOL

[agile stag]

just get them a tkl and call it a day or something

[frigid blade]

No regular user needs the numpad

[agile stag]

unless theyre a fullsize person

i used to be but grr then my desk got smaller

my fullsize took up my full kb/m space it was evil

[unreal bramble]

i will send her this video and see what she thinks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEbJyVCynRY

[agile stag]

but tkl fixed it and anything smaller id rather just not

[agile stag]

thats a long video probably

i dunno

[unreal bramble]

8 minutes LOL

[agile stag]

[fallen sky]

tf that spposed to mean

[agile stag]

its like uh a command

im asking for a case that isnt on pcpartpicker but thats still like as common as all the other common ones on there

i guess

[fallen sky]

oh you are asking

[agile stag]

also fun fact i had a friend make another friend a build once and every item was like 5 items down or less on the most common pcp result

[fallen sky]

idk

fractal is nice

[agile stag]

it was a funny build but it was so average and plain gr

curse of everything uninspired

[rigid ether]

Never heard of it

[fallen sky]

how

[rigid ether]

Ya

[agile stag]

see this place is fucking insane i hate it here grrr

and this happens like hourly

[arctic kettle]

This is why I love 65%

[agile stag]

im here repaying for past interaction rage bait but also im just enjoying music

[fallen sky]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_w0NbB84P0 @rigid ether

[agile stag]

but man gr ecil

if they still make the 4000d id buy one if i were you

[fallen sky]

wtf why are all cases on amazon 2 day shipping

i want 1 day fuckers

[arctic kettle]

Lol

Modern problems

Imagine 1 day shipping 15 years ago.

Would have been so epic.

[agile stag]

imagine 1 day shipping 100 years ago,,

[ruby ferry]

so this is a bad deal ??

[agile stag]

also im giving up on my framework depending on their support response

[ruby ferry]

for $900

[fallen sky]

i like it but i dont want the wood accents

[fallen sky]

nope

[agile stag]

i will tell you to buy it without caring about the price

[fallen sky]

8gb card for $900

[ruby ferry]

good deal ? or bad

[arctic kettle]

Oh?

[fallen sky]

bad

[agile stag]

it died completely and its not a dead cmos batt

[arctic kettle]

RIP

[ruby ferry]

but im coming from a 6gb card that i have done everything ive needed to with …

[agile stag]

and i really dont need a laptop thats easy to fix

ive had 8gb cards since like 2016 they do good

[fallen sky]

build ur own blud

[agile stag]

could get a 3060 12gb though

[fallen sky]

you can do so much better than getting that for 900

[ruby ferry]

i just said i know nothing, nor have the time

[fallen sky]

then find another

[agile stag]

if youre in the us and shipping was cheap id fuck up a pc build

[fallen sky]

also you never said u know nothing

[agile stag]

but idk

[ruby ferry]

oh maybe i didn’t hit send but i typed it lol

[agile stag]

ltt server

[fallen sky]

word

do you like wood accents koda

[agile stag]

i do

[fallen sky]

do i

[agile stag]

wood dhdhdhdjsjdhdnshg

[unreal bramble]

im gonna see my friend tomorrow so i will ask her if she wants the 65% or the TKL

[fallen sky]

:0

[agile stag]

that i am not quite sure

[ruby ferry]

so how much better can i get for $900, if its not that big of a difference i might just buy it

[fallen sky]

if you get that 8gb card idk what to tell u

[ruby ferry]

what is a normal size card ???

[agile stag]

idk maybe 20cm

[unreal bramble]

both keyboards are the same price so it will be her choice

[agile stag]

and just a tad wider than a pcie slot

[fallen sky]

in this day and age???? 12-16

https://skytechgaming.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoq_ANdDmQnv--K_h54uu0Ds0SGe-23PXch7E_YZeyO8cfcr2fsZ

ignore the 2 keyboards

[fallen sky]

are u trolling

u being 100% fr

what games do u play

[ruby ferry]

no lmao i mostly run siege and i maintain a 144 frame rate

csgo and what not

[fallen sky]

@agile stag pick a number 1-20 and if you get the one im thinking of, i will buy the pc case with ooden accents

[ruby ferry]

call of duty 3 times a year lol

[rigid ether]

Oh I bought a 50 usd case for my 2.5k usd setup

[fallen sky]

then you do NOT need a $900 PC

[arctic kettle]

17 (ik you didn't ask me but I want to guess BC I'm bored af)

[unreal bramble]

i thought about converting my PC to a mini itx build

[ruby ferry]

bro i thought $900 was cheap

[rigid ether]

500 is cheap

[fallen sky]

i was thinking of 14 mr wizard

[rigid ether]

1k is midrange

[ruby ferry]

yeah but i’d rather have more than enough than not enough

[fallen sky]

in 2023 $800 was midrange

[unreal bramble]

any suggestions for a PSU for this?

[fallen sky]

games have gotten heavier

[ruby ferry]

i bought this pc in like 2021 so

[rigid ether]

Close enough

[ruby ferry]

it was higher, no?

[unreal bramble]

something around $85

[fallen sky]

great! 9060xt + ryzen 5 9600x/5 7600x

[unreal bramble]

can go higher if needed

[ruby ferry]

im looking at the right thing, right? this means im on a 6gb card

[rigid ether]

Siege is a potato game

[fallen sky]

@unreal bramble .....

explain urself buster

[unreal bramble]

650W would be enough for this right?

[fallen sky]

uh yea

[unreal bramble]

modded minecraft and skyrim at 1080p...

[fallen sky]

oh 1080p

[ivory mountain]

is ios 26 beta 3 working decent for yall? wondering before i install it

[fallen sky]

cmon at least get 12?

[fallen sky]

i dont even have the option to

[ivory mountain]

another modded skyrim enjoyer yay

[agile stag]

ok fresh thinkpad mystery box i cant wait to see what i got

[unreal bramble]

im gonna get her into it

[ruby ferry]

ios 26????

[ivory mountain]

im sad, nexusmods went from $5 to fuckin $12

[unreal bramble]

tell me about it...

[agile stag]

yeah,,

[ivory mountain]

yeah, matches the year kinda like football games on xbox and shit

[unreal bramble]

F that im not paying them

[ruby ferry]

i thought you were talking about like iphone ios version

[ivory mountain]

yeah i am, it went from ios 18 to ios 26

[ruby ferry]

im not educated in this field enough to know if that is sarcasm or not

[ivory mountain]

https://www.apple.com/os/ios/

[agile stag]

jshshshdhdhdhsgsgsgshsg we won,,,

[ruby ferry]

so.. this $900 pc is cheaper than the one im using right now and is a pretty big upgrade

[unreal bramble]

also a free plan gives a MAX of 3MBps

[fallen sky]

ur trolling

[ruby ferry]

im not

[fallen sky]

yes you are

[ruby ferry]

i bought this pc during the chip shortage or whatever, it was high

[fallen sky]

no pc with a 5600xt or whatever is over 700

[ivory mountain]

u cant download multiple mods at a time which is a huge drawback of the free plan, although i could probably use a download manager for this

[sinful cobalt]

300 is already enough

[ruby ferry]

bought it a while ago

[ivory mountain]

buy a 6900xt, i get the same speed as my friends 4070ti with an undervolt + oc and i have 16gb vram

[unreal bramble]

this is why i have been asking for help

[sinful cobalt]

try a rm1000x with a 5060 and 7500f

shits not gonna be exceeding more than a quarter of it even at full load

[ruby ferry]

this pc was over 1k, i forgot the price tbh

so learning i can get better for cheaper is great

[agile stag]

what

[unreal bramble]

oh the cheapest 5060 is cheaper than the cheapest 4060 LOL

[agile stag]

see this is wild you looked smart did you think that through wtf

[unreal bramble]

well kinda

[ruby ferry]

yes

[agile stag]

this is insane

[ruby ferry]

is he wrong

[stray cairn]

Just buy 5090

[rigid ether]

Ye just get a b580 or a 9060

[agile stag]

yeah a pc with a 5600xt can cost more than uh 800 or whatever

also i checked i got three 10 / one 30 series/two 40 series/two 50 series / one 80 series

the 80 is such a win and im maining a t410 so this is honestly insane

[ruby ferry]

i would have better luck reading japanese than understanding any of that tbh

[stray cairn]

Lmao I thought this was about GPUs but it was Thinkpads

[agile stag]

thinkpads,,,

also its wild not a single x series grr its ok though

[stray cairn]

I kinda want to buy T480 ngl but Im already using MBP

[sinful cobalt]

if I pay $20 and you pay $3688 in SGD I can get a 5090 zotac white

[agile stag]

i also remember having a w510 but grr i guess not

[ruby ferry]

ima have to buy a thinkpad too, going into engineering this fall

[agile stag]

once it dies you could get one

[stray cairn]

Nah, buy the OG T and P

[agile stag]

my framework did

[stray cairn]

IT DOES NOT DIE

[agile stag]

what does that count as

also grr nothing older too

[stray cairn]

T4 and P4's

[agile stag]

no i have to have more thinkpads somewhere

[unreal bramble]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pD8bt6/msi-geforce-rtx-3060-ventus-2x-12g-geforce-rtx-3060-12gb-12-gb-video-card-rtx3060ventus2x12goc would this be better than the 4060?

[stray cairn]

NO

[agile stag]

too much work ill get one some day but not yet

either way im motivated partially by money

[rigid ether]

Why not just get a 9060xt

[agile stag]

and owning cool laptops but also money

floating around newer stuff makes things go smoother

[sinful cobalt]

bcs 3060 used still cheaper

[stray cairn]

The problem is my MBP refuses to die. Its 3 years old, battery is still fine, speaker runs fine, and I pretty much set my bag to "throw away" mode every time I put it on the desk and all

[sinful cobalt]

3 years is not enough for it to die

[rigid ether]

But 3060 is mid

[agile stag]

thats ok either you get a laptop that works or you get a new one

[stray cairn]

Lmao tbh at this point I'll get another MBP

[agile stag]

my fw was a 2021 iirc grrrrr tragic death

[stray cairn]

Besides I do most of my work on a server anyway

[agile stag]

i dont really do work

[stray cairn]

React with 🍞 if you want to know the specs

[agile stag]

assignments maybe but those are too fake to count

[unreal bramble]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/J3gZxr/asus-dual-radeon-rx-9060-xt-8-gb-video-card-dual-rx9060xt-8g would this be fine?

[agile stag]

you could leak the specs too without asking

this is ltt this is a fucked up place

[stray cairn]

Lmao

[agile stag]

my t410 has a 1st gen i5 and 6gb ram :3

(repasted)

[stray cairn]

8x V100's

Times 7

[agile stag]

that works

[stray cairn]

So 56 V100's

[agile stag]

different budgets i guess

[stray cairn]

2x A100's but its broken because someone forgot to update the drivers

[unreal bramble]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JZNLXR still need a decent PSU

[agile stag]

mine cost 30 but thats on the pricier side of what im looking to pay for a laptop currently

[stray cairn]

And 1700+ H200's

[agile stag]

i have a couple if you want

[unreal bramble]

pretty much the only thing this is missing

[agile stag]

probably uh theyre decent theyve never not worked

[stray cairn]

Get 750w at least

[unreal bramble]

thanks for the offer but i will pass

[rigid ether]

Just get a msi one, 750w

[stray cairn]

Or if you wanted to be safe 850. I bought Corsair HX850i 9 years ago and its still working.

[agile stag]

ive only ever had new psus die

purchased new*

[stray cairn]

My VS450 dies after running GTX 480 off it. Capacitor blew up.

HX850i still alive and kicking

And here I am thinking of buying Leadex 1300w

[agile stag]

i think i threw away my dead silverstone 1000w

but that FUCK set me back like 300

[sinful cobalt]

my honest reaction

[agile stag]

it blew on a threadripper gtx 1080 build too grr but everything survived enough

[stray cairn]

We're flexing GPUs now?

[rigid ether]

Good for u

My msi 1000w is thriving

[agile stag]

all my nearby gpus are in pcs and im not standing up

[unreal bramble]

honestly PSUs are confusing

[agile stag]

i wonder if my t480 has a gpu

[stray cairn]

This is a Radeon VII.

And this is a paperweight.

[winter lantern]

gooner gpu

[sinful cobalt]

thats not flexxing

[agile stag]

im gonna ruin my friend with it he wants one so bad

[sinful cobalt]

shaddap

[stray cairn]

The card works but because AMD being AMD, its now a paperweight.

[agile stag]

why cant you use a radeon vii anymore

theyre so baller i still want one

[stray cairn]

Driver issues

[agile stag]

on all of them?

[stray cairn]

We moved to 5080

[sinful cobalt]

i should hook a sf750 against a 5090 that i dont have

someone did it

[agile stag]

fuck the 5080 it doesnt look as good

[stray cairn]

We did our best to use it for compute.

[sinful cobalt]

and its perfectly fine lol

[rigid ether]

I have a 4080 super

[rigid ether]

Sorry its 850w

1000w too expensive

[agile stag]

in the 80s-90s audio went from being like all heavy and made with aluminum trim to being cheaply made with plastic grrrr maybe theyre doing that to our gpus

[unreal bramble]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Yp9wrH/be-quiet-pure-power-12-m-750-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-bn504 is this one ok?

[rigid ether]

Ye but its on the pricy side

[stray cairn]

Oh and my lovely server

[agile stag]

they did that to mobos imo grr all the new ones are so ugly and cheap looking

i hope they make nicer mobos one day for cheap

[stray cairn]

So to quote someone here, yes I am the problem.

And I have no regrets.

[unreal bramble]

then what would you recommend

[stray cairn]

I won't change it. PSU is the first thing that would shield oyur system when shit happens electrical wise

So I definitely won't skimp it for some bomb brands

[sinful cobalt]

i have a 9070xt

[unreal bramble]

is the one i chose good though?

[stray cairn]

Yes

[sinful cobalt]

xigmatek psu

ez terrorism

[unreal bramble]

ok

[rigid ether]

Msi

[sinful cobalt]

multiple serious issues

[stray cairn]

Here's some brand recommendation:

FSP, Seasonic, EVGA, Corsair, Rosewill (yes they still make PSUs), Superflower, Coolermaster

[rigid ether]

Really? My one is 6 years old

[stray cairn]

Im not paid by them btw despite I live near some of their headquarters.

[sinful cobalt]

i mean the shortform meme for msi

[swift moss]

raytheon wow

they make military bombs now

[stray cairn]

Ikr? That's why my money is on them

[fallen sky]

the only difference is one takes more power and has better cooling right

cuz it has 3 fans instead

[stray cairn]

Both takes the same amount of power. The reason why its different is because one is overclocked from the factory and one does not.

And 3 fans != better

[fallen sky]

oh i skipped over the overclocked

im gonna get that. $30 isnt much more

[winter lantern]

i have the coolest paperweight

[latent pasture]

easiest way to overspend on pcs

[stray cairn]

This is my 2nd paperweight.

[unreal bramble]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DDPmh7 this should be fine (again ignore the 2 keyboards)

[stray cairn]

Its now a VPN server and "some storage server"

[winter lantern]

bet yall dont have a 4090 paperwieght

[stray cairn]

I have Radeon VII paperweight

[unreal bramble]

positive airflow is better than negative right?

[stray cairn]

Depends on the case

[fallen sky]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DwxZ3w alright NEED SUGGESTIONS FOR ANY CHANGES

[unreal bramble]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rnGxFT/cooler-master-masterbox-q300l-microatx-mini-tower-case-mcb-q300l-kann-s00

[swift moss]

huh

[stray cairn]

Technically if you consider paperweight is hardware that are not operational, I have 2x A100 40GB as paperweight right now

[latent pasture]

"this x is better than y its only $15 more"
"this a is better than b its only $20 more"
"this c is better than d its only $30 more"
for every part and voila, you lost enough budget that couldve upgraded you a next cpu gpu tier or double ram or storage

[stray cairn]

Get a better case. You can do this.

[unreal bramble]

besides the case fans whats wrong with it?

[stray cairn]

Its ugly

[winter lantern]

name somthing wrong with ts

[unreal bramble]

id have to disagree with that

[latent pasture]

limited gpu upgrade space mostly

[rigid ether]

Whys ur case 100 usd, but ok

[unreal bramble]

the PC will last for sometime tbh i doubt she will have any reason to upgrade it any time soon

[fallen sky]

gimme some part picker suggestions por favor

[stray cairn]

https://lian-li.com/product/lancool-iii/

Get this

[fallen sky]

ehhhhhhhhhhh

[rigid ether]

Also u sure 1tb is enough?

[stray cairn]

Getting a job and making more bank:

[fallen sky]

i'll only be playing 3 or so games

[stray cairn]

Get at least 2 TB

[fallen sky]

then the rest will be for photos, i edit photos a lot

[unreal bramble]

besides my friend doesnt want a huge case

[fallen sky]

for WHAT

[unreal bramble]

and that cooler master case is about the size she wants

[stray cairn]

Just in case.

I got 27TB

[latent pasture]

its fine
theres also probably cheap thin metals that easily bend etc but its not like ur gonna kick or drop it lol

[unreal bramble]

once its set up its not gonna get moved anyways

but incase she does want to move it its small

[fallen sky]

also not on newegg

[stray cairn]

Get any lancool cases

[fallen sky]

i did

217

2x 170 front fans, 2 120mm fans on bottom, and 1 140mm fan in back

my total is $1108 USD before prime day

[unreal bramble]

anyways i got the help i needed for my friends PC

[fallen sky]

im still waiting for an hour or so

to see if prices of my parts drop

[grizzled frost]

normal retail store, so no definite orders to be had, just walk ins

[unreal bramble]

and i think i decided on the monitors im gonna get for my own personal rig

[stray cairn]

I don’t get why people here would consider you as a spawn of satan or something if you spend certain amount on computers

[unreal bramble]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/q4xxFT/samsung-odyssey-g55c-320-2560-x-1440-165-hz-curved-monitor-ls32cg552enxza

[stray cairn]

What if I were to spend 5 grand for one? Would I get banned here?

[grizzled frost]

what

[fallen sky]

i mean it IS their money

[grizzled frost]

no…?

[fallen sky]

but besides my case, any other suggestions

[grizzled frost]

people regularly spend exorbitant amounts of money on their PC here

[granite nexus]

why not the g6? 240hz

[stray cairn]

Like

“Why is your case 100 bucks?” Or “30 is 30 bucks and can accumulate” or “just use x brand its cheaper than y despite with no track record”

[unreal bramble]

because thats a flat panel

[sinful cobalt]

person on their way to send a spec list of a
X870E 9950/9800X3D with 6000CL26 ram
2000w psu with astral/aorus master 5090 in some $500 case

[fallen sky]

100 is the norm nowadays no?

for a case

[grizzled frost]

advising people how to get the best value for their money is different to being opposed to spending large amounts of money

[granite nexus]

is it also va? the g5

[sinful cobalt]

“why is ur case from nzxt and this expensive”
Because I like it

[grizzled frost]

especially when somebody says their budget is quite low, which is frequent

[unreal bramble]

the one im looking at is curved

[agile stag]

expensive things are cooler

[grizzled frost]

“i have a super low budget, but also spend 1/4th of it on some fancy case and fans”

[agile stag]

cheap things are so plain and boring i hate it

[sinful cobalt]

“Why does ur small ass itx case cost $195 before shipping”

Because its good quality, SFF, good compatibility

[granite nexus]

g6 is curved

[stray cairn]

Exactly. I don’t give a shit about NZXT being shoddy business. But the fact that no company is able to make cases looking as good as theirs is the reason why I kept coming back to them.

[agile stag]

like keep your blank pcbs they look like poverty buttons to me

[sinful cobalt]

ppl after the nzxt scandal were shitting on me for having a H6 flow

[granite nexus]

SAMSUNG Smart Gaming Monitor 27” Odyssey G6 G65B QHD 240Hz - LS27BG652EEXXD

[rigid ether]

50 dollar is budget

[grizzled frost]

that’s due to low volume generally

[rigid ether]

Tier

[agile stag]

people shitting on you for spreading your thermal paste on a direct die application,,,,,,,

[grizzled frost]

a lot of specialty sff cases are produced in low volume, so the per piece cost is high

[stray cairn]

To be honest the advice I always give to people who wanted to go PC gaming on a budget is to

Save up some more.

[agile stag]

fuckass advice what if i get broker by the day

[unreal bramble]

thats a bit expensive though

[grizzled frost]

why are you using thermal paste for D-die?

[sinful cobalt]

I cant wait for NVL to come so I can build in the T1 argh

[agile stag]

then ill never have a pc

[latent pasture]

bc ur proving to the companies that users will accept and consume ridiculous pricing for a $10 hunk of aluminum and $0.30 vram chip, as if things getting expensive wasnt enough of a problem already

[agile stag]

ddie is wild but what else am i supposed to use

[grizzled frost]

if you’re going through the trouble of ddie, use lm

[agile stag]

ill use ptm 7950 if i care but thats not normal

[grizzled frost]

liquid metal

[rigid ether]

100 is if u want to go for something more stylish

[agile stag]

LIQUID METAL(avoiding filters)

[grizzled frost]

Yes…?

[agile stag]

too expensive and like not worth it at all for the shit i do

[stray cairn]

Not my problem.

[agile stag]

give me the 10 tubes for 10$ mmm

[grizzled frost]

it’s like 20usd for a tube, and well worth the performance uplift

[granite nexus]

well at 300usd its worth it of ur playing fps but if ur into triple A then fair enough

[latent pasture]

and thats why change doesnt happen in this world

[rigid ether]

I skimped on everything other than my gpu and cpu

[agile stag]

and ptm for whatever it costs but i also save it for special occasions

[grizzled frost]

if you’re taking the time to go ddie and risk cracking your cpu die, go the tiny bit further to use LM

[unreal bramble]

actually they are like 400

[agile stag]

i refurb laptops,,

[stray cairn]

Bring back sub zero cooling

[grizzled frost]

oh, then yeah use some kind of ptm

[agile stag]

delidding cpus is funny but stupid

[unreal bramble]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9mp3np this is the case and fans im planning to get for my PC

[agile stag]

ish unless youre into that but im not

[grizzled frost]

coulda mentioned you were working on laptops

[agile stag]

i just do it sometimes before i throw away a cpu

[agile stag]

meh you should spread paste on direct die,,

[grizzled frost]

not dumb, the thermal performance uplift is wild

[grizzled frost]

doesn’t really matter

i would, but it doesn’t matter as long as enough paste is there

[rigid ether]

Solid

[agile stag]

i believe it but meh im not fighting for temps anyways

oh man i had an idea

[unreal bramble]

i made a mini itx build that uses a rather expensive case

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/GrMMnQ/fractal-design-terra-mini-itx-desktop-case-fd-c-ter1n-01

[grizzled frost]

going ddie with lm drops the temps like 20-30c

[agile stag]

i wanna convince someone who complains about like 65 to delid their cpu

they deserve it

65 or less im pushing that as the best option

[rigid ether]

Stylish

[agile stag]

i cant wait hhhh

[grizzled frost]

so you want to convince an uninformed user to most likely crack their die and cost them money?

[agile stag]

yeah fuck them

[grizzled frost]

wtf

[agile stag]

have you seen this plane its like an aneurysm if it was a server

people have the worst takes for no reason and theyre dense asf and refuse input

[grizzled frost]

Cause people are frequently uninformed, that doesn’t justify being a jackass

[agile stag]

uninformed is something i can have sympathy for that

but ignoring reason when its been yelling at you through 5 different people for 30 mins,,,

[grizzled frost]

which is most people that get worried about 65c temps

[unreal bramble]

and $180

[agile stag]

they need to learn to cope

some people accept it

[unreal bramble]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/q9LvCd i made this part list a while back for fun

[agile stag]

but like uh natural selection or whatever

especially with how fake some stuff comes off

[rigid ether]

I have a 50 usd cooler master for my 2.5k usd pc build

[agile stag]

they shoulda made the world a better place

[sinful cobalt]

laptop owners are honestly built diff

[gusty wagon]

Laptops are great

They should replace desktops in non-enterprise workloads

[rigid ether]

My laptop is cheaper than my phone

[unreal bramble]

i probably could make a better version of this now

[sinful cobalt]

Not when it shits itself doing nothing

-my 8945hs laptop

[agile stag]

nuh uh fellas will buy like a 3 fan 5070ti and then be mad when it hits 67c

[rigid ether]

My laptop has 8gb of ram 💀 💀 💀

[gusty wagon]

Even the M4 Max Macbook Pro's can reach 4080 levels of gaming performance

[agile stag]

now you cant delid a gpu but i wish you could

[agile stag]

mine has 6 gr

[gilded gale]

RTX 3060 Ti vs RTX 4060, which is better if I'm going for games like ghost of tsushima in high graphics (not ultra)

[agile stag]

i couldnt find a second 8gb stick

4*

[sinful cobalt]

4080 laptop right…?

[stray cairn]

Tbh if you use Mac for gaming then its.... ambitious.

[gusty wagon]

Desktop

[sinful cobalt]

What games can the Mac even run

[gusty wagon]

League

[sinful cobalt]

…..

[agile stag]

not valorant i think

[gusty wagon]

Whoops they removed that

[sinful cobalt]

We dont count league as a game

[agile stag]

also dont macs not have cooling or did they fix it

at full load can it not throttle yet

[grizzled frost]

in the wide selection of games the mac can run (mostly mobile games)

[sinful cobalt]

macs themselves are hella efficient but yeah

[agile stag]

grr ok maybe one day

[grizzled frost]

macbook air, yes

they have no cooling fan

[agile stag]

repasting a laptop and seeing it have a beefy heatsink is the best feeling

[grizzled frost]

macbook pro, and all their desktop mac’s have cooling fans

[agile stag]

you know they didnt put some shit as thick as a debit card in there itll do a good job at cooling the cpu

[stray cairn]

Metro Series runs natively and also bioshock except for infinite

And Cyberpunk 2077 which I am patiently waiting for

[gusty wagon]

Genshin impact and hsr goty

[sinful cobalt]

wait cyberpunk coming to mac?

[stray cairn]

Yep. Already adjusted my budget so when it drops I can buy it comfortably.

[rigid ether]

Minecraft

[unreal bramble]

CL 30 or 36 for DDR5-6000?

[sinful cobalt]

Both are hard fps capped anyway

[rigid ether]

Tf2

[agile stag]

30

[grizzled frost]

30

[agile stag]

lower cl better,,

[grizzled frost]

so mobile games

[unreal bramble]

ok

[agile stag]

and with gens cl and freq either double or half

so like uh cl15 3000 shshdhdhdhdhdg similar enough in your head

[gusty wagon]

But efficiency and it won't sear your juicy thighs

[sinful cobalt]

the M4 max has no real experiment to really test gaming against a desktop gpu tbh

[gusty wagon]

Baldur's Gate

[sinful cobalt]

I mean in simple performance, everybody know apple shit is efficient

[unreal bramble]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2VJgXL/teamgroup-mp44l-2-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-tm8fpk002t0c101 this is fine right?

im doing something fun

[grizzled frost]

found 1

[grizzled frost]

find out if it’s tlc or qlc, i’m too lazy to do it for you

[gusty wagon]

It's efficient yes, but it also draws lower power and outputs less heat for the same tasks

[grizzled frost]

tlc good, qlc bad

[sinful cobalt]

which is what efficient means no?

[grizzled frost]

you just said it’s efficient twice

[latent pasture]

its tlc, teamgroup has at least the brains to call the qlc version mp44Q

[grizzled frost]

“it’s efficient, but” then describes efficiency

[gusty wagon]

I'm glad we are on the same page

is this guy lying or real

[sinful cobalt]

same page number but maybe different book

[swift kestrel]

oh wait i forgot the screenshot

is this guy lying

[gusty wagon]

[gusty wagon]

Windows 11 requires 8th gen and after

[swift kestrel]

he said he has it cuz hes in the microsoft developer program

[unreal bramble]

4070 or 5070?

[grizzled frost]

windows 12 doesn’t exist in any capacity

[gusty wagon]

I'm forcing my i5-5600U to run 24H2

[rigid ether]

Neither

[sinful cobalt]

same price 5070

[latent pasture]

that req is for windows 11 lol

[grizzled frost]

He’s a liar, and a bad one at that

[latent pasture]

what price
5070 is just completely better so without any other info why compare

[gusty wagon]

But what about thinking capacity

[grizzled frost]

(you could have verified that yourself very easily)

[swift kestrel]

i tried but shit said yes and no

[grizzled frost]

given absolutely nothing has been said about windows 12 at all, and that windows 11 hasn’t been out for all that long to begin with, no, he doesn’t have win12

[unreal bramble]

is the 5060ti good?

[grizzled frost]

about on par with the 5060ti

[rigid ether]

16 gb version is ok

[unreal bramble]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ZjWmP6/gigabyte-windforce-oc-geforce-rtx-5060-ti-16-gb-pcie-x8-video-card-gv-n506twf2oc-16gd

[grizzled frost]

i wouldn’t buy any 50 series cards rn due to driver issues, but that’s just me

[formal sonnet]

Developer program or not, Windows 12 is not out yet. They are full of crap.

[unreal bramble]

im not actually buying any PC stuff at the moment

[sinful cobalt]

all fixed

except for the damn situational ones

[unreal bramble]

the part list im making is mostly just for fun

[rigid ether]

I would recommend 9060xt 16gb over 5060 ti 16gb if its more than 50 usd cheaper

[sinful cobalt]

the common issues are gone

[swift kestrel]

hes trying to be indenial and question why he would lie to me

[formal sonnet]

Don't entertain people like this. They're not worth your time.

[swift kestrel]

i guess hes trying to be cool or something? hes my discord server head mod

[rigid ether]

Sarcasm

[formal sonnet]

Welp, that explains it. Most Discord mods are ... -- HEY, WAIT A MINUTE! 🤣

[swift kestrel]

OLOLOLOL

[swift kestrel]

hes not making it sound like that

[unreal bramble]

i think i built this new part list even better than my old one

[swift kestrel]

idk its just a small argument nothing too much im just confused why thats a thing to lie about

[unreal bramble]

old list
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/q9LvCd

new list
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3D6n4p

i could probably change the cpu

[latent pasture]

if u were ok with amd gpu before then wy not 9060xt 16g

[rigid ether]

Hes not building a pc

[unreal bramble]

that was for a different build

i just like to make part lists for fun

would the 9700x be a better option?

[rigid ether]

Productivity ye

[unreal bramble]

its also a little cheaper too

[latent pasture]

9600x has been below 200 for a while now

[unreal bramble]

this lists i make arent really about the price tbh

sometimes i make some outrageous lists

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Pvzn4p and honestly this is probably one of the more practical lists i have made in a while

i keep hitting o instead of i LOL

get one of those portable monitors and and wireless keyboard and mouse and you got a kick ass pc

[latent pasture]

best itx pc /s

[unreal bramble]

laptops are fine but they can have issues

[latent pasture]

this removes approx 101% of any issues

with a margin of error of +-1%

[slow sable]

hello people

i need feedback, is this ok?

[unreal bramble]

what kind of feedback are you looking for?

diy transformer guide what could go wrong

UNLIMITED POWER

[waxen maple]

im so lost on picking whati should upgrade to from my 6600xt 8gb, i reeally want a pny 5070 12gb card, but i keep hearing that its not that good if you cant use dlss which i plan on useing during my games (marvel rivals, monster hunter world (and wilds when its on sale again), and horizon zero dawn etc.) and i plant to upgrade either to 4k or 1440p fairly soon

[fallen sky]

Is there a non gigabyte 9060 XT 16GB out there

I want XFX but it’s $50 more

[peak knot]

mmmmm delicous torroidal transformer

[viscid helm]

what

[fallen sky]

Holy fuck

10% sales tax got me fucked yo

[swift moss]

lol im trying to find one to power vacuum tubes that isnt like 25nzd

making a linear supply outta that

[peak knot]

my best linear PSU is the UNI-T UDP1306C

[fallen sky]

LETS GOOOO 0.01% INTEREST

[peak knot]

this is my linear PSU

[swift moss]

damn coool

[peak knot]

does 32V at 6A max

[swift moss]

thats hungry

tbf i want to do 600W too

your one 192

[peak knot]

linear units arent very good at high power

[swift moss]

i could do a SMPS for the power amplification stage

[peak knot]

would have to put several in series

[swift moss]

tru

its split across like 200W per amp

[peak knot]

i have a switcher that does 600W

[swift moss]

i mean so do i, running discord rn

[peak knot]

31V at 20A

i mean bench PSU

[swift moss]

yeah lol

[peak knot]

My switchers main output is in the back and has some super thick wires that I keep clipped on my DC load, but the front 4mm jack supports 5A also

[swift moss]

wait what this is so cheap

[swift moss]

u have a lot of stuff lol

[sinful cobalt]

25% tax

[peak knot]

i put it to use lol, i was using the benchtop PSUs to help me fix GPUs today

[stray cairn]

The existence of linear PSU signals the existence of exponential PSU

[peak knot]

no just linear and switching

[stray cairn]

I know, its a joke

[peak knot]

I was injecting 1V at 2.5A into my GPUs and seeing where shorts were at

[low pendant]

So I am a little confused , I have 10 argb fans and I am searching a controller to get so I can utilize them individually and not by groups because of the daisy chain

[swift moss]

lol

[swift moss]

video corrupted but oh well

[peak knot]

reload channel plays fine for me

[swift moss]

hmm

still broken, might be my discord

[peak knot]

Try restarting discord entirely

@swift moss behold my linear PSUs internals

vaultwarden on a server backed up offsite or keepass hosted on dropbox/gdrive? been doing the later but the sync issues have been driving me nuts

[formal sonnet]

Hopefully Amazon doesn't rely on Ingram Micro for their computer hardware... 🤣 https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/07/ingram-micro-says-ongoing-outage-caused-by-ransomware-attack/

[gloomy sleet]

that isn’t long at all

[fallen sky]

For me it is

[terse crane]

My 5070Ti took a little over a week to arrive. So I just kinda expect it for that delivery time

[gloomy sleet]

it’s a week.

[fallen sky]

Rest in pennies bank account

[formal sonnet]

Personally, I'm about to setup Vaultwarden (or just go with Bitwarden natively) for my stuff. Keepass works too, but it's more effort / work than I have time / brainpower for these days.

[gloomy sleet]

be patient

[fallen sky]

A week for the most important part

Can’t wait ts 1 week

[elder quarry]

If you have a server vaultwarden would be best for privacy afaik

[pulsar root]

yea thats what im thinking. i dont like the idea of my password DB being on google servers lmao

[plush wren]

What about both

[elder quarry]

That is so janky

[terse crane]

That's how I felt going from a 1650 super to a 5070ti. But you manage, in the grand scheme of shipping for stuff I ordered recently that's not bad.

[pulsar root]

bill gates is trying to inject payloaders into my keepass db

https://tenor.com/bLLEy.gif

[plush wren]

i think my keepass db on gdrive is outdated af

[formal sonnet]

The problem with this too is ... what happens if you get locked out of your Google account and have no other copies of your database elsewhere? Buh-bye entire digital life.

[plush wren]

[plush wren]

my friend got locked out of his bitwarden account

[modern sage]

I have a problem.
So I'm playing MWII, and im at the last mission, I'm in the game for 20 seconds, game freezes and it freezes my pc as well.
Wtf should I do?

[pulsar root]

keepass actually locally stores copies of the DB on every device and syncs each change to all

ofc if u upload it to gdrive

[elder quarry]

#1027757333117415424 and provide more information

[formal sonnet]

Mhm, but I mean in situations where all your devices simultaneously decide to stop working... Plan for the worst so you're ready when (not if) it happens.

[plush wren]

Can I add a chip inside my hand or something and be able to store the db in there

[modern sage]

Are we deadass rn? What more info do u want

[plush wren]

so real

[pulsar root]

yes i agree and which is why im leaning towards moving away from cloud services. i dont wanna know my gmail acc pass lol

[elder quarry]

[serene path]

It seems that someone carefully changed my English name. Thank you❤️

[elder quarry]

I can guess with a small certainty that your card ends at 8111

[pulsar root]

i got my vaultwarden running on a drive in raid 1 backed up offsite with every change

[modern sage]

R3 3100
RX 570
W10
no logs n dumps

[fallen sky]

Guess the other 12

[plush wren]

what if your drive burns

[fallen sky]

Or 8

[elder quarry]

1234 5678 91011

[fallen sky]

(I forgot how many numbers my own card has)

[pulsar root]

in the event my house catches fire and burns the disks, i go drive to off site location and recover

[plush wren]

is it not 16 total

[plush wren]

oh thats what u meant

[fallen sky]

I think yea

1234 5678 9101 8111

[pulsar root]

yess

[fallen sky]

There u go sir

[plush wren]

yeah friends house burned down and he lost all his recovery codes so he cant log into bitwarden

[fallen sky]

CVV: 069

[elder quarry]

And the little funny number in the back

[plush wren]

im lucky enough to have an offsite backup. if you dont, its essential to have it backed up to the cloud

[plush wren]

awesome

[fallen sky]

yeah

[plush wren]

well you cant log in to the cloud without your account

[pulsar root]

thats a him problem, like we were pointing out thats the one password u need to remember

[plush wren]

he cant login into gmail because it asks for a confirmation on a phone which no longer exists and theres no other option on try another way
