[hallow jasper]

verify game files and if you're mucking with DLL's, that likely explains your issues

[steel umbra]

if it's glass then no

[simple dagger]

I'm just wondering how severe are the cons. And yes the side is glass

[steel umbra]

if it's mesh, then maybe for aesthetics

but your gpu will blow some hot air at your motherboard directly

[simple dagger]

Only the front is mesh

[steel umbra]

then no

[simple dagger]

k thanks

[simple dagger]

That's all i needed lol

[steel umbra]

explode

[raven scroll]

Do people unironically like this shit

[steel umbra]

oh dog

[hallow jasper]

yes

[simple dagger]

The Verge would love that

[steel umbra]

where are my perforations

asus has built a nice hot oven

[raven scroll]

The worst part is

It’s like $700

[steel umbra]

no way

[raven scroll]

And some people dead ass want this case

[steel umbra]

i would sell it immediately

[raven scroll]

I was trying to help a guy out in the rog server about his questionable choices and bro was dead set on getting this specific case

[simple dagger]

Btw in the future, whenever i end up upgrading my system in like 2026 or 2027 with a new motherboard and stuff.
Is the upgrade seemless and windows will boot right away or is there some bios fiddling required since i have 1 boot drive and 2 regular pure storage SSD's in my system?
Like if i place the boot drive in the same slot on the new motherboard, would it just work?

I've never upgraded before so idk how it is

[golden sage]

im starting to think i like shiny stuff

[rigid fjord]

people liked the easybake oven, aka nzxt h510

[tidal geyser]

peak has no issues

[rigid fjord]

you definitely like something fugly

[golden sage]

😢

[golden sage]

this the current one which keeps bluescreening smh

[trim gyro]

it's generally a good idea to reinstall windows whenever you swap entire systems

[tidal geyser]

how do you know its the ram

[left dove]

nice

[golden sage]

Tried different ram, had no bluescreens at all

[simple dagger]

reason? Since i've never re-installed windows unless i had a fatal flaw

[trim gyro]

windows can sometimes figure stuff out on its own, but you're still left with drivers from your previous system

[simple dagger]

weird

guess it's better to reinstall then thanks

[trim gyro]

which can conflict with new drivers you install on your new system

[golden sage]

@tidal geyser this is a 7200mts xmp intel kit, but i've tried multiple different settings for it to be compatible with amd 9800x3d, including the one in buildzoid video

[simple dagger]

How do i keep my old data tho? Do i need a backup drive or what? @trim gyro

[golden sage]

I know i was here yesterday and we had a convo, but i wanna ask do u have any other RGB ram recommendations? preferbly 6000mts cl28/cl30 32gb

or is there something i can look at? i've been googling too tbh

[trim gyro]

yeah, you'll have to move your stuff out of the drive that has windows on it, before you reinstall windows

it's the reason people keep their files separate from their boot drive that has the operating system

[simple dagger]

So a clean wipe of the drive essentially?

[trim gyro]

yes

[golden sage]

also this has to be some error from the shop lmao, cl28 on 8000mts?

[simple dagger]

Most of my games are on the D Drive to be fair.
And it's mainly work documents and stuff like that that sits on the C drive

[raven scroll]

Wowzers

[foggy marsh]

100% error

[simple dagger]

you can get 10,000MHz CL16 on Temu probably

[rigid fjord]

no

[rigid fjord]

you can get ram that high but depending on the cpu their may be extra tuning for it to be stable

[golden sage]

i see

[raven scroll]

At what temperature does the plastic gpu power connector housing melt

[rigid fjord]

on amd there's no guarantee anything over 6400 will be running stable

[normal tusk]

like gpu temperature? no

[gloomy sleet]

guys a basilisk v3 for £20 is it worth it

[foggy marsh]

even 6400 may not work on every cpu

[simple dagger]

I heard Intel has a new "200S Boost" mode in their new bios now for their slower newest gen chips? Is it any good for anyone that's on that platform?

[random gyro]

Get yoself a dedicated boot ssd

[raven scroll]

There has to be a limit until the plastic starts melting

[rigid fjord]

on intel, it's no guarantees that anything over 7200 will work stablely

[gloomy sleet]

seems pretty decent for the price

[rigid fjord]

true dude, but better chances with 8000 series apu's, and 9000 sereis desktop

[rigid fjord]

nope, not when you can pick up a g502 hero for that on ebay

[simple dagger]

Why have i heard that DDR5 is more stable on intel? Or is it just because Ryzen 7000 was unstable at anything higher than 6000 and Ryzen 9000 is completely fine?

[gloomy sleet]

i don’t like the g502

[simple dagger]

I have the G502X

[rigid fjord]

and a basilisk is a crappier clone of the g502

[gloomy sleet]

i had one before and it just feels bad for how i hold my mice

[raven scroll]

Many people don’t like g502

[simple dagger]

Lightspeed

[trim gyro]

like 220C

[simple dagger]

I like it. But that's a subjective opinion. Like all things

[random gyro]

g400 gang

[raven scroll]

Heavy mice in 2026?

😫

[rigid fjord]

those looking for light mice are the ones that have issues because weak wrists

[foggy marsh]

apus clock memory like crazy, i would say 9000 has maybe a little higher chance of 6400 working than 7000 but i tested six 9950x3d's and only two worked at 6400 1:1

[simple dagger]

I've tried the G Pro Superlight 2

[raven scroll]

Nuh uh

[gloomy sleet]

uh no

[simple dagger]

My cousin has it and tbh i ain't a fan. It feels cheap

[trim gyro]

30 grams is too light for a mouse

[gloomy sleet]

that isn’t a good point

[random gyro]

I remember when weights in mice was sick

[raven scroll]

Even strong wrists benefit from lighter mice

Because it’s lighter 👍

[rigid fjord]

yup, i actually added more weights to my g502 because it was still to light for me

[simple dagger]

The G502 in comparison feels like it was built to last whereas the G Pro Superlight feels too fragile and too easy to move

[raven scroll]

Bro turned a gaming session into a workout

[gloomy sleet]

it doesn’t matter how strong you are a lighter mouse is easier to stop

[raven scroll]

You prolly have good finger skills then

[gloomy sleet]

it’s just inertia

gives you more control

[simple dagger]

For me i'm fine with 100 grams

[rigid fjord]

actual bullshit there

[gloomy sleet]

it isn’t

literally scientifically proven

[raven scroll]

I have never used a mouse over 60 grams

[simple dagger]

I used to be on a 130 gram mouse but now it's 100 and it's almost too light for me

[trim gyro]

scientific is funny

[rigid fjord]

my previous mouse was 131g

[simple dagger]

So because of that i play most PC games on controller

[gloomy sleet]

my current mouse is 121

[rigid fjord]

151g if you added in the cable weight

[raven scroll]

The term scientific gets used too much on stupid shit that isn’t science

[gloomy sleet]

ok but lighter mice being better has literally been tested and proven

[simple dagger]

Been playing Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition on PC lately. With controller cause i don't really like how the game feels with mouse and keyboard

[raven scroll]

But lighter mice is def better fr

[simple dagger]

Driving games on mouse and keyboard are also abysmal for me

Couldn't play rocket league on my laptop for a week cause i forgot my controller

[raven scroll]

🥵 the eyebrows are eyes and the eyes are noses

[rigid fjord]

if i had bought a light mouse, i'd have to buy 2 or 3

[simple dagger]

what about the feet

[gloomy sleet]

why

[raven scroll]

What about the feet?

You into that stuff?

[simple dagger]

nah. Just interested in random subjects

[rigid fjord]

i'd have lauched them into walls forgetting how light they are

[raven scroll]

And connect them together for max Efficiency?

[gloomy sleet]

they would in fact survive that

[raven scroll]

That’s actually…kinda genius

[gloomy sleet]

i once threw an attack shark x3 at my wall and it worked perfectly fine after

[rigid fjord]

the weight my g502 hero has, it has a physical response for feedback in my hand

[raven scroll]

Can’t be throwing shit these days, stuff too expensive

[simple dagger]

Also by tech enthusiast standarts, i have a pretty meh keyboard but doesn't matter cause i personally love it.
The Logitech G915 Lightspeed

[gloomy sleet]

what keyboard?

[robust trail]

awww fedex is late with delivering a new mbp 😦

[gloomy sleet]

true rage smashing stuff has gotten so difficult nowadays

[rigid fjord]

time to get the shotgun ready dude

[gloomy sleet]

i have a box of cheap membrane keyboards i just occasionally snap in half

[gloomy sleet]

name?

[raven scroll]

The farthest I’d go is throw mouse on bed (gently)

[simple dagger]

Logitech G915 Lightspeed

[gloomy sleet]

that’s fine

getting a better keyboard won’t make you better imo

[simple dagger]

It's low profile and i love it

[raven scroll]

If spamming in chat isn’t viable

[rigid fjord]

nope, i would be needing new framework for the mice, if i could find a metal top cover for the g502 right now, i'd buy it

[gloomy sleet]

just custom cnc it

[simple dagger]

Also have an "underwhelming" mic according to tech enthusiasts but again. It sounds fine to me.
The Logitech Blue Yeti X that i got for a discount

[gloomy sleet]

i wish someone made a mouse out of pbt i’d 100% use a pbt shell on a mouse

[gloomy sleet]

i don’t even have a mic your doing better then me

[raven scroll]

There are magnesium mice

[simple dagger]

Do you have any consoles?

[gloomy sleet]

no

[simple dagger]

k then you dont have a mic

[rigid fjord]

the worst ive done is launched a laptop across a room with a single punch, and a old case as well

[gloomy sleet]

i lie i have a ps5 for gt7

[simple dagger]

Then you have a mic

[gloomy sleet]

i need to find that i kinda want to try gt7

[gloomy sleet]

wdym

[simple dagger]

Plug in your dualsense and windows picks it up as a mic lol

[gloomy sleet]

effort

[raven scroll]

Out of rage or purely for the sake of launching a laptop across the room

[simple dagger]

I used the dualsense as my pc mic for a while

[rigid fjord]

definitely rage

[gloomy sleet]

not once have i ever needed to speak to someone on my pc

[simple dagger]

So you're not into voice chatting on discord?

[raven scroll]

I used to until i got annoyed at the constant issues with steam games not syncjing with it

So I switched to Xbox controller

[simple dagger]

lol

Support can be janky

[raven scroll]

Anger management perhaps?

[gloomy sleet]

no

[simple dagger]

But tbh i prefer the symetrical sticks

[random gyro]

This is the way

[rigid fjord]

well it does xbox controllers natively, you have to enable the extra for playstation controllers

[simple dagger]

Everyone's different

[gloomy sleet]

i prefer ps layout for controllers

[random gyro]

Big picture plus xbox controller slaps

[simple dagger]

I don't much like the Switch Pro controller stick placement

[rigid fjord]

that's called an axe and several logs

[simple dagger]

But for others it could be a positive

[gloomy sleet]

the only cheap hall effect controllers are xbox layout some reason

[latent gull]

Joycons are the best layout

[gloomy sleet]

no

[raven scroll]

Play station joystick layout feels like they were just shoved on there

[gloomy sleet]

wiiu/steamdeck is

[raven scroll]

But that’s just my opinion

[rigid fjord]

8bitdo ultimate 2 c are cheap HE controllers

[simple dagger]

Since there is talk about the PlayStation 6 already for some unknown reason online, i hope the PS6 has hall effect sticks

Tho my dualsense after 5 years still has no drift issues

[rigid fjord]

literally £40

[gloomy sleet]

i prefer the 1 joystick layout

[simple dagger]

I've had the PS5 since day one so that's also how long i've had the controller for

[raven scroll]

Ain’t no way they selling he as the default

[rigid fjord]

cheap decent controller

[latent gull]

I unironically find joycons to be the most comfortable controller layout

[simple dagger]

I'm prob one of those rare peeps that enjoys the new joycon grips more than on the original switch

[gloomy sleet]

8 buttons on the right side where the right stick used to be and 1 left stick with dpad underneath

for racing games this is ideal layout

[simple dagger]

I just wanted a bigger default controller and i got it lol

[gloomy sleet]

xbox layout though

[rigid fjord]

which nintendo copies also

[gloomy sleet]

sadly

they need to go back to the wiiu layout

2 sticks on top button clusters on bottom

[simple dagger]

Found a hall effect PlayStation stick layout controller for $60 here in Norway

[gloomy sleet]

reverse ds controller

[simple dagger]

I prob wouldn't buy this

Looks like something straight out of Wish

[rigid fjord]

ps2 was the best controller layout playstation had, was super comfortable

[simple dagger]

PS2 was solid yeah

[latent gull]

I like the joycon with the swapped joystick locations

[simple dagger]

Dualshock 2

[gloomy sleet]

ps2 also had pressure sensitive buttons all around

[gloomy sleet]

i’d honestly buy a ps2 with a usb port

[simple dagger]

The only thing i didn't like about the Wii U gamepad is the analog sticks being above the dpad lol

[gloomy sleet]

or even just a ps2 console with usb ports and a hdmi port

[rigid fjord]

8bitdo has that as an option

[gloomy sleet]

that is ideal layout

we need an actual controller with this layout

[simple dagger]

Linus Tech Tips makes screwdrivers. He should make a controller

[marsh relic]

anyone else suddenly having issues the last couple days when using NordVPN on incognito? im getting this error on youtube unless i turn my VPN off

[simple dagger]

i don't use a VPN so idk

i pay for VPN twice a year to watch content only available abroad

[rigid fjord]

https://shop.8bitdo.com/products/8bitdo-pro-2-bluetooth-controller this is choice one

[simple dagger]

Other than that, i'm VPN free

[wet ember]

Has anyone bought an epomaker keyboard before? This is by far the worst keyboard I've had in terms of reliability. Multiple switches have failed and I'm returning it for a replacement

[rigid fjord]

https://shop.8bitdo.com/products/8bitdo-mod-kit-for-original-playstation-controller-1 choice 2

[simple dagger]

how expensive is that thing?

[wet ember]

It was $100, pretty good value for what I get. All metal build, good switch feel, good sound, good stabilizers

And it has 3 way connectivity

[rigid fjord]

this you can use in the original playstation controller or, ps2 dual shock 2 controller tbh

[simple dagger]

Sounds pretty good. But at the same time. Almost too good to be true. So it failed reliability...

[wet ember]

Yeah unfortunately. It comes with 2 replacement switches, but now a 3rd switch is failing

[rigid fjord]

should make your own keyboard, you get what you want then

[wet ember]

Maybe it's a PCB problem? Idk

[wet ember]

The thing with custom keyboards is that they get expensive, unlike custom built computers

[simple dagger]

My cousin also recently bought one of those DIY keyboards. I think it was a Wooting keyboard?
I personally hate Linear switches so i didn't like it. But main thing is that he likes it

[rigid fjord]

custom pc's can get expensive, remember 3090/4090/5090 costs

then there's those that do custom loops

[wet ember]

custom loops are overkill

[simple dagger]

Cheaper end 5090 here is $2700

[wet ember]

what are those ppl running? ai servers? lol

[simple dagger]

MSI Ventus for reference

[rigid fjord]

they used to be for cooling, it's more aesthetics nowadays

[rigid fjord]

you could build 3 1080p/1440p rigs for that price tbh

[simple dagger]

I have a 240mm AIO for aesthetics atm because i don't trust myself with a custom loop

[simple dagger]

i have a 1440p rig right now actually.
RTX 4070
i5-13600k
32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL32

All drives are Gen 4 aswell

[rigid fjord]

i have a, something rig currently

5600x + rx590

[simple dagger]

so it runs at something settings and something resolution

[rigid fjord]

technically it could do 1080p,1440p or 4k

[simple dagger]

Tbh faster than what i had in 2020

[rigid fjord]

sapphire rx590 at that

[simple dagger]

I used to game on an NVIDIA GeForce MX250 Laptop GPU

That's about the same as a GT1030

2GB VRAM

[rigid fjord]

my current setup is in my profile

[simple dagger]

Nowadays my PC is the main gaming thing at high settings whereas my laptop is completely usable for travel with an RTX 3050ti Mobile

[hollow yacht]

Hey everyone,

I’m planning a build with the NZXT H9 Flow, and I’m aiming to have a total of 10 fans (120mm) in the case. But I’m getting confused about how many forward and reverse fans I actually need.

Someone told me I’d need 6 reverse fans and 4 forward fans, but I’m not sure if that’s accurate — especially if I plan to install an AIO. I’ve heard the fan layout changes when an AIO is involved, but I don’t quite understand how.

I’d really appreciate it if someone could break it down for me: • How many reverse vs forward fans do I need for a typical 10-fan setup in the H9 Flow? • Are there ideal placements for each type of fan?

Thanks in advance! The fan direction stuff is really throwing me off 😅

[rigid fjord]

4 normal for rear and top, 6 reverse flow for side and bottom

[hollow yacht]

Tysm!!

[rigid fjord]

also, if you're going for the h9 flow, you might as well just be going for an o11d evo, the h9 flow is just a more expensive clone of it

[sinful knoll]

is it worth it?

[hollow yacht]

I live in Germany and there it’s more expensive

[rigid fjord]

no

[sinful knoll]

why not?

[rigid fjord]

you could get an rx580 instead for that and have a ton more performance over a gtx580

[sinful knoll]

but its 2010

wake up

[rigid fjord]

2025

[little spoke]

hey anyone here ineed quick help with something

seems like my laptopshdmi port is limited to 120 hz at 1080p do i still buy the monitor i was planning to buy or do i just stick to a cheaper 100 hz monitor

i was planning on buying the msi g244f e2 and was hoping to get atleast 144

Is there any way to convert cpi to dpi

[frigid blade]

previous owner got freaky with the cpu

[fallen sky]

For mice?

1 cpi = 1 dpi

[swift moss]

how come the 82K resistor doesnt lead to a COMPLETE voltage drop?

275V in an 82K resistor at 5.35mA should take it extremely low

[fallen sky]

Mf think we are electrical engineers

[tidal trail]

what ssd yall reccomend for 4tbs m.2?

[agile stag]

grr they taught me this in school but i forgot uh try searching it up idk

[swift moss]

V=IR yeah

R=(Vsupply-Vtarget)/I

however 82K gives a voltage drop of 420V

which leads to -145V :P

[trim gyro]

the cheapest one

[plush wren]

are these artifacts

[trim gyro]

it doesn't look like it's intended

[little spoke]

dont know what to d0o

do i stick with a 100 hz monitor? do i buy the one i was intending to buy or do i buy a portable monitor cz i travel alot

[true crescent]

1440p oled or 4k oled for rx 9070 xt nitro+ ?

[plush wren]

cos its not

[true crescent]

im playing games like call of duty, expedition 33, black myth wukong, league of legends, world of warcraft, elden ring & diablo 4

[plush wren]

[trim gyro]

depends on how close you are to your monitor, no?

[little spoke]

if anyone can help pls ping

[trim gyro]

unless you're thinking about that 27" 4K oled monitor

[true crescent]

wdym, im talking performance wise
will the gpu be able to handle 4k with those games?

[trim gyro]

sure

[true crescent]

while still cranking stuff to max & with a good fps?

its a new pc, so im not really aware of my limits unlike my old pc

[trim gyro]

you have a wide range of games there, I suggest looking at 9070 XT benchmarks with those games

stuff like league and wow can run on 10 year old GPUs just fine

[true crescent]

hahaha, ik
but im more concerned about games like black myth & call of duty
and new games generally, as most of them arent optimized at all

[trim gyro]

some games offer ultra settings, those are often much more demanding than high

[lofty raft]

There's not much difference between wqhd and uhd, but it has a big impact on performance

[plush wren]

so its wraps for this gpu?

[south arrow]

Id try re inserting the display cable/trying another port

But maybe

[plush wren]

[true crescent]

@trim gyro talking to you kinda helped me decide
ill go for 4k 🙂

do you guys have any suggestions for a screen?
rn ive got my eyes on aw3225qf

[trim gyro]

the cheapest high refresh rate option

[plush wren]

[trim gyro]

though a curved monitor is personal preference

[raven scroll]

Guys does an atx case always have enough standoff holes for atx motherboards

[haughty compass]

hi so im trying to enable core isolation but it says all these drivers are incompatible and stopping me from turning it on. how can i update or delete them?

[visual plover]

my gpu is running at 80°c am i cooked?

[true crescent]

nah

but wtf are you running

[visual plover]

war thunder

it runs at 77°c on heaven benchmark

[raven scroll]

Could be worse

[true crescent]

thats fine, but if it goes higher then change the settings

[raven scroll]

What gpu is it

[visual plover]

4060 ti

[random gyro]

You can cook with your gpu

[visual plover]

gigabyte oc

[random gyro]

Make some scrambled eggs

[visual plover]

and the fans are running at like 60%

at 77c

and im not uning any app to change the fan curve

[raven scroll]

80c is on the hotter side but I don’t think it’s hot enough to cause issues

[visual plover]

if i make a fan curve in msi afterburner and close msi after burner will it still work?

[winter lantern]

80c is normal for laptops

🔥

[visual plover]

its a pc

my laptop gtx 1660 ti used to run at 96c

[raven scroll]

Wild

Almost enough to boil water

[hallow jasper]

No

[buoyant bridge]

Made my GPU not sag and it bent the backplate oml

[hallow jasper]

make your curves, I think you can have it open in the system tray, then click the button to have it start with Windows

thats likely a little too tight

[buoyant bridge]

nah its pretty lose

idc that much it made it not sag anymore

its moved the backplate bend from being at the PCB to off the PCB too so

[idle vessel]

Repair

[buoyant bridge]

It's fine

The PCB ends at the power connectors and the bend is at the very end of the heatsink

[dark oriole]

Guys i have some money for my setup but i want a 4070 super and my cpu is 7600 with integrated so what if i used that for a bit and then after a week i bought the gou

[random junco]

if its for a week then thats fine i guess

but for long term...you're gonna suffer

[dark oriole]

Will i really tho rn i have i3-7100U

Anything would be an upgrade from this shitty laptop cpu

[random junco]

well the 4070 super is better than pure gaming off the the 7600 integrated graphics

like i said if its for a week then sure go for it

[buoyant bridge]

Okay this is a lot less visible of a zip tie right?

[zinc widget]

Is a Noctua U9 enough for an Ultra 7?

[buoyant bridge]

iirc core ultra runs pretty cool

this is the stock cooler so

[zinc widget]

It’s for my comically overbuilt Nas/Jellyfin server. The one on sale right now doesn’t come with a stock cooler

[buoyant bridge]

yeah im telling you the stock cooler as a reference

[fringe prairie]

peerless assassin 90 or royal knight 120 would work

[zinc widget]

I’m thinking I was just gonna get a u9 in a second 92mil

[zinc widget]

The U9 is the tallest cooler that will fit in this case

Pretty much limited to 92 mm fan tower coolers or the ones where the fan is on the very top

[buoyant bridge]

Thermalright X47 TC?

OH MY GOD

GUYS A MIRACLE HAPPENED

THE CPU IS 1.5 WEEKS EARLY

let’s fucking go

[buoyant bridge]

r u outside the USA lol???

[fallen sky]

No

[buoyant bridge]

why would a CPU take nearly 2 weeks to ship 😭

do u not have prime

[fallen sky]

Back ordered

[buoyant bridge]

ohhh

[cunning flume]

if i ordered from serbia it would take 2 months with prime

[zinc widget]

Damn, it’s a dual tower as well. It probably cools better than the U9. Still gonna buy three Noctua 92mm fans tho.

[fallen sky]

Hell no

[buoyant bridge]

yeah cus AMD's WWTD is in Ohio USA

[fallen sky]

and yes I have prime

[zinc widget]

It’s still cheaper than the U9 with three extra fans

[fallen sky]

Signed up for a free month trial just for prime week

[buoyant bridge]

Its gotta go from Hong Kong to Ohio USA to France, to Germany, to Serbia

shipping isnt A-B

[cunning flume]

how good is ryzen 7 5700x

[fallen sky]

yeah

Oh wait did you think I meant it wouldn’t take 2 months

[buoyant bridge]

ohhh yeah I did 😭

[fallen sky]

I could never wait that long

[visual plover]

i changed my intake fan curve and now its running at 65c instead of 80c

[fallen sky]

At that point just order from ur countries’ most popular tech site

[buoyant bridge]

the reason AMD is really unpopular in slavic countries is AMD hardware going to just about anywhere has to go through brookville ohio at some point

[fallen sky]

why’s that

[buoyant bridge]

ace logistics (AMD's WWTD) is located there they closed down the UK and California site

[visual plover]

i live in a slavic country and everyone here has amd

[buoyant bridge]

they're opening a new one in montreal thou

[fallen sky]

bruh

[fallen sky]

Where

[visual plover]

poland

[fallen sky]

kurwa

[buoyant bridge]

Intel dosen't use a WWTD it just has authorized dealers

[fallen sky]

I’d think that would be more efficient no?

[buoyant bridge]

hit or miss, cuts them out of some countries offically but its faster since the stock is more spread out

like one of the MANY reasons Germany is called the "capitol of european shipping" is because a bunch of companies (intel included) only have authorized dealers there

there can be sellers anywhere ofc but they usually are buying from germany or the USA

[fallen sky]

Interesting

I saw a few 9060XT’s on Ali express for $200 over MSRP

[hollow smelt]

my uncle got a 1tb ssd gen 4 i think sent to his work when he didn’t order it and they wouldn’t take it back off him and now he wants me to sell it for him how much should i list it for

[buoyant bridge]

I'm trying to get out of shipping logistics because its such a mess

[hollow smelt]

apparently he got a box with loads of them but i’ve only seen a pic of 1 that he showed me so i could tell what it was

[buoyant bridge]

the contract my company got with AMD was SOOO fucking stupid

[random gyro]

did intel ever get that plant in ohio built

[fallen sky]

80% retail price

[buoyant bridge]

yup!

[hollow smelt]

what’re they? 50? so i should list for 40

[buoyant bridge]

my company handles shipping from it actually

[hollow smelt]

gbp

[random gyro]

they basically just told most of their ca employees to piss off

[fallen sky]

Idk

[random gyro]

linus saw it coming

[hollow smelt]

he also got 4800 whatever the unit is ddr5 which is rlly random

[buoyant bridge]

its because ohio has a skilled labor shortage

most of canada has a skilled worker shortage

[fallen sky]

Fun fact the f16 has AC and heat

[random gyro]

i thought it was because they got huge tax breaks to build there then pat basically screwed up everthing else and got canned

[buoyant bridge]

I've got like 20 employees that REALLY shouldn't be working in logistics they should be working in IT but nobody will hire them in IT because the positions are all filled

thats at the canadian facility

[random gyro]

when i contracted for a minute their campuses were ghost towns

pretty spooky

[buoyant bridge]

ohio is just a really good place to set up a chip fab lol

[random gyro]

Easier than managing their san jose superfund fab

[plush wren]

only in ohio

[buoyant bridge]

work shortage, lowish tax rates, vast power avaliability, lower cost of labor then similar areas

[fallen sky]

[buoyant bridge]

you can pay someone less in ohio than you can in arizona and get better PR then you'd get for paying them 75% more in AZ

[random gyro]

wish i coulda stole some ewaste they dumped all the time

got some cool pens tho

[buoyant bridge]

Like ohio is lowest 40% of national wages in chip fabrication workers and they're still 80% above the livable wage in the state

[plush wren]

[buoyant bridge]

livable wage is like $26/h and they're being paid $48-$52/h

its INSANELY GOOD PR to setup in ohio over AZ

[random gyro]

does the ohio fab have a cafe

both CA sites did

[buoyant bridge]

not sure, I've only been there once to shake hands

[random gyro]

that was the best thing about tech companies was the cheap food

[buoyant bridge]

I know the ohio plant has

like tiny parking lots

[plush wren]

$52/h sounds like a dream

[buoyant bridge]

they gave me a pass to park in one of the semi bays while I was there because my truck wont fit in the parking lots

[random gyro]

Most employees were contractors

[dreamy aspen]

:D

[buoyant bridge]

get a skilled labor job in OH or Mass

[fallen sky]

Thank you grovestreet1

[dreamy aspen]

[fallen sky]

how is that even possible tho? I bought from thermaltake directly

[livid fern]

Its gf1 2024 likely so rmx is big upgrade

[buoyant bridge]

GF1 2023 is the one without 12VHP right?

[livid fern]

there is no 2023

[fallen sky]

12 volt horse power

vhp

[buoyant bridge]

whats the one without the nvidia connector?

I have that one

[livid fern]

both og gf1 and new

NEW GF1 sadly is alot worse than OG one

[buoyant bridge]

is there any way to tell which you have?

[livid fern]

[buoyant bridge]

I've had very good luck with "bad" thermaltake PSUs

I have a smart 600W running fine in a 24/7 powered syste,

[summer creek]

can someone help, why are some 24 pin diagrams different? i just wanna make sure i get the green power on and ground right to jump an all black cable psu

[sage ocean]

A federal judge just threw out the FTC one click cancel rule

Can't have anything nice in this country can we

[livid fern]

Its fine till it isnt stressed or power outs arent happening

[lime mantle]

Should I be worried?

[livid fern]

Some smart psus are okay-ish

[lime mantle]

smart psu?

[livid fern]

Thermaltake smart

Smart is the series
There are like 8 different models under it

[lime mantle]

Oh, I was thinking something else

[livid fern]

[lime mantle]

mb

[lime mantle]

But jokes aside, should I get a better cooler?

[livid fern]

What cpu what cooler

[lime mantle]

Intel Core i9 10900K with a Arctic Liquid Freezer 2 360

[random gyro]

I could go for a cooler of beer rn

[lime mantle]

Yeah, My chip is spicy

[livid fern]

Oh liquid freezer 2 had problems on Intel due the frame was bad

Especially on 13900k

[fallen sky]

ITS HERE YIPPEE

[lime mantle]

wait, so I'm not thinking that up that the cooler used to be cooling more watts?

[random gyro]

what are you doing with that rig hacking the fed?

[livid fern]

Well are u running a stress test or in game? Could try re-pasting and re-mounting and setting up a pump speed and fan speed on the cooler

If its A stress test then the temp is good

Considering it its nearly using 300w

[lime mantle]

It uses nearly 300W (just like 9W shy of 300W)

aka 290W to 291W

[ebon prawn]

Heheheh its here

[sour remnant]

Are you purposefully running your parts on full blast to cook eggs?

[lime mantle]

Nope

[sour remnant]

9800X3D or 9950X3D

[ebon prawn]

9950

[sour remnant]

Open task manager, and kill whatever is strangling your cpu

[sour remnant]

Holy shit this guy got bank

[ebon prawn]

Parents got it for me

[sour remnant]

I got 7950X 💁‍♂️🥲

[ebon prawn]

Grad gift

[lime mantle]

Just trying to get the most out of it for that (the first two left clients are CPU)

and why?

Because it essentially is just a Blender load

[sour remnant]

What cpu are you running fucking hell 😂

[lime mantle]

Intel Core i9 10900K with the Arctic Liquid Freezer 2 360

[sour remnant]

Class

What’s the program called, I wanna see how far I can push my 7950X

[lime mantle]

The CPU runs at 5.1GHz All Core with Vcore being like 1.41V to 1.42V

[lime mantle]

That is SheepIt, That is a Community driven renderfarm.

[sour remnant]

Drop click render and go?

[lime mantle]

You need to make an account there...

[sour remnant]

Ah I believe it’s a payment so

[lime mantle]

Nope

There is something called points and to get the points, I need to run the Clients

[sour remnant]

Oh, what can you do with them?

[lime mantle]

If money is onvolved, it is for support of sheepit

[lime mantle]

You can then use them to render Blender projects

[lime mantle]

Aka donation

[sour remnant]

And do you get paid for contributing or how does it work

It’s just you getting free projects?

Sorry 3D modelling isn’t my strong suite

[lime mantle]

Okay, that is for example my account, I ran the client and have that many points. Now if I wanted to render something I made in Blender, I use those points in the green box:

[sour remnant]

So essentially, if you need something rendered quickly you throw it to SheepIT?

[livid fern]

No overclocking done?

[lime mantle]

Yeah

[lime mantle]

I assume that this speed is overclocked

[sour remnant]

No use to me so, but sounds very cool

[sour remnant]

Did you overclock it though

[lime mantle]

Yeah, it is something cool

[livid fern]

Intel has high frequency already
So i assume no

[lime mantle]

Well, I set 51 for the multiplier in the BIOS

[lime mantle]

I mean all core btw

Not like the usual boost

[robust trail]

🔥 beast has arrived. Now to retire my M3 Pro.... or at least reserve it for light duty. @empty quartz

[dreamy aspen]

[robust trail]

now... to install tahoe beta so I can run the migration assistance

[robust trail]

I run heavy workloads.

[ebon prawn]

Ty

[lime mantle]

A normal PC can also do that?

[sour remnant]

Jesus Christ what will you do with this amount of horsepower

[robust trail]

A normal PC is a pain in the ass and I work/dev on macos and leverage NVIDIA AI Workbench for remote servers

[south arrow]

If you saw all of marks pc parts you'd poop

[robust trail]

What... won't I do 🙂

[lime mantle]

No?

it is not a pain in the ass?

[sour remnant]

Send a spaceship to Mars for Elon 🤪

[south arrow]

Carrying around my 5090 build ain't easy exactly lol

[robust trail]

Yes, it is unrealiable due to cobbled together harware vs complete vertical integration

[lime mantle]

Cool, At least a PC doesn't need a heart and a leg

[sour remnant]

Ah yes, make the obvious obvious to glaze 5090 ownership, go you 💁‍♂️

[lime mantle]

If you know what I mean

[robust trail]

I've never once been in europe and had to throw my laptop off a bridge because Windows decided to shit its pants and Linux decided to get weird on me.

[lime mantle]

Mac's are needlessly overpriced

[south arrow]

Thank you thank you i wasn't initially for an applause but ill take it

[lime mantle]

Linux is not a Desktop OS, it is for sevrers. And Windows, That shouldn't have issues

[south arrow]

I'm getting old ngl moving my tower anywhere is like uhgg

[sour remnant]

People that complain about OS’ are just plain stupid at it. Use an OS you’re capable of using properly. For you dear sir, MacOS 🤷‍♂️

[lime mantle]

Yes, I stand by on that statement, [REDACTED] Apple with their [REDACTED] Overpriced products

[robust trail]

Linux is just as great for desktop as it is server. I run Linux desktop/workstations but I don't rely on it for laptops 🙂

Windows takes a shit randomly because it has worms in its brains (not @south arrow )

[clear canyon]

What are you smoking

[sour remnant]

I was about to ask…

[clear canyon]

Linux is used for everything

[lime mantle]

Okay, If you would given me the choice of MacOS or Linux, I would rather use Linux

[lime mantle]

Yup, Servers

[clear canyon]

Everything

[lime mantle]

Only liquid with no nicotine sadly

[lime mantle]

that doesn't look Linuxy?

[robust trail]

Like I said, I'd rather pay a premium for stability vs a premium for a chance of the machine taking a shit 🙂

[sour remnant]

If I’m not mistaken I’d say most companies now try to make the switch to a stable Linux rather than use anything else.

[lime mantle]

Oh, So you wanna have the price of a Goddamn car?

[robust trail]

BUT that's me. My job requires access to a working machine at all times - no excuses for what I do

[clear canyon]

If you did ur homework, windows has linux built in

[lime mantle]

Which windows is perfectly fine doing

[robust trail]

If you knew what I paid for my car you would cry

[lime mantle]

Almost nothing

[sour remnant]

If that’s what you truly need, with what you enjoy and it’s what you’re willing to spend such bank on, it’s your moneys 💁‍♂️

[south arrow]

Mark gets 5090s for free

[clear canyon]

Dudes just rage baiting hard lmao

[south arrow]

For perspective

[lime mantle]

It is called WSL, But if I use that, it is for something that is for unix

[sour remnant]

Go on tell us 😂

[robust trail]

😄 This is how I roll and how I make my money

[lime mantle]

Dude, I just [REDACTED] hate what apple pulls

[fallen sky]

Bro I was just trying to show how it was magnetic 😭😭😭

[clear canyon]

You can say fuck

[idle vessel]

you can just say the word

[fallen sky]

Didn’t mean to almost drop it

[lime mantle]

Like You can't tell me that a fucking mac is gonna be a used car

[sour remnant]

Apple as a dev for their OS and Mac’s in general are I’d say of highest standard on the globe. There is a reason why every politician of high importance uses their devices.

[idle vessel]

what

[clear canyon]

Uh, its not made for a car?

Ur spouting nonsense

[robust trail]

I'll get the invoice 😛

[lime mantle]

But the Price, don't you see the price? I can get better hardware for that price

[sour remnant]

@lime mantle slow down, think before you speak and then speak slowly.

[sour remnant]

Best of luck…

[lime mantle]

Pff, Highest standard my ass. More like Highest Price

[idle vessel]

actually it’s type

[clear canyon]

?

[robust trail]

🎉 @sour remnant

[idle vessel]

this is a joke by the way plz don’t hurt me

[lime mantle]

I'm taking my hate of apple to my grave

[sour remnant]

Tell me you’ve never used Mac without telling me you’ve never used Mac

[clear canyon]

Wow thats a pretty penny spent there lmao

[lime mantle]

Dude, I had to help on a goddamn mac

they make no goddamn sense

[clear canyon]

Just keep it to yourself, no one cares

[sour remnant]

In EU that’s about 95K EUR, about standard what people buy.

[lime mantle]

Man, I just can't when someone is burning their money on shit that is behind on other stuff

[sour remnant]

I thought you’d jump out with a 500K+ invoice 😂

[south arrow]

Not as bad as they used to be but getting to be quite a giant in the laptop/phone space. Keep an eye on their products maybe itll catch your eye one day

[clear canyon]

Who cares, its not ur money

[lime mantle]

But it is still wasted money ಥ_ಥ

[robust trail]

M4 is savage. It... runs like an ape kicked in the balls

[clear canyon]

Again, we dont care

[sour remnant]

If other stuff you’re regarding towards piracy or servers, then that’s the only valid excuse. Everything else Mac is on par easily.

[robust trail]

same with the other goodies Apple has produced on the M series SOC

[robust trail]

oh fack no. I live where it snows and get shitty. I have some restraint lol

[sour remnant]

How’s the Rivian treating u?

[robust trail]

plus I don't want to get trail pinstripes on a Lambo SUV 😛

[south arrow]

Competition over these next few years will be curious to see how these factories transition or if they can transition. Future should be bright

[clear canyon]

Adapt ur new vehicle to tank tracks

[lime mantle]

I don't do Piracy (anymore since 2019)

And no, I'm pretty sure that my PC is getting a better score on my PC compared to your laptop

[robust trail]

It treats me well, I hope to see R2 in the EU

[sour remnant]

I highly doubt your 10900K would go anywhere near a M4 base never mind Max but have a go 😂

[lime mantle]

Pff, as if your toy is gonna get a higher score on CPU-Z

[clear canyon]

A benchmark?

Bruh

[robust trail]

R2 is going to (hopefully) explode in popularity.

[lime mantle]

Game's on. If your device has a higher score, I'll shut up, If my device is Higher, you know what your laptop is

[clear canyon]

Dude, just shut up

[lime mantle]

I was talking to Mark

[clear canyon]

Literally acting like a child

[sour remnant]

Tell me you’re unemployed with no idea what pcs are used for without telling me you’re unemployed with no idea what pcs are used

[robust trail]

I can't get a higher CPUZ score because there's no CPUZ for MacOS

[lime mantle]

I'm not unemployed

[robust trail]

Want to peen measure on Geekbench?

[lime mantle]

I can download that too

[sour remnant]

Maybe you are employed but definitely not in a sector where actual horsepower is needed 24/7

[lime mantle]

What test btw?

[sour remnant]

I have a 5080 and 7950X what are you suggesting?

[clear canyon]

Tbf, its pretty mid range

[robust trail]

I dunno, I run machine learning benchmarks not consumer stuff 😦

[sour remnant]

😂

[robust trail]

Trying out a CPU benchmark

[lime mantle]

wym? It is not mid range, It initially cost close to 2K

[sour remnant]

Back in 2020…

[lime mantle]

And now the cost of it is like 3K with the upgrades

[clear canyon]

Just bc you spent alot does not mean its high end

3070 was mid range 5 years ago

[robust trail]

Also, forgive me. I didn't install Discord on this laptop yet 😦

[lethal moth]

This is supposed to be. Like that right?

[sour remnant]

🤷‍♂️ easy does it

[lethal moth]

90 percent sire it is just double checking

[clear canyon]

[lime mantle]

Wym?

[clear canyon]

A 3070 was midrange 5 years ago

[sour remnant]

It is not a high end pc

9950X3D and 5090 is a high end pc nowadays

[low locust]

Anyone know why my UI is lagging/delayed/ mouse skipping around

[lethal moth]

Thanks. Still getting fucked by this GPU. Tried putting in another one and that fixed it, putting in both and connecting hdmi to the working one still makes them both not work.

[lime mantle]

That is actually?

[sour remnant]

No actually it isn’t…

[clear canyon]

No lol

[sour remnant]

I don’t even have a high end pc with a 5080…

[clear canyon]

70 class cards are never high end

[clear canyon]

Yes you do lol

80 class is high end, 90 class is enthusiast

[south arrow]

Odd

Alot of latency but why hrmmm

[clear canyon]

70 class is the high part of mid range, 60 is the low part of mid ranged and 50 class is entry level/low end

[sour remnant]

My ram and cooler and psu are not high end.

So technically speaking for the summary I don’t have a high end one

[clear canyon]

The 5080 is tho, my 4080 is high end

[sour remnant]

But soon, very soon

[lime mantle]

Wth, You do know that it is not needed to buy something new in 10 Years after buying the PC?

[lethal moth]

I think I'm going to flash my bios, my pc works perfectly fine until my 2080 super gets inserted, it's the only thing I can think of now

[abstract wigeon]

psu

[clear canyon]

I dont think you understand what high end is

2080 could be shitting bricks maybe?

I'm thinking that aswell

[abstract wigeon]

what is psu

[sour remnant]

3070Ti is not a high end card

[robust trail]

Is 3926 single and 26154 multi core a decent GB score?

No lol, plus ur in ddr4

[sour remnant]

Jesus Christ 💀🙏

[robust trail]

I dunno, I benchmark AI models lol

[lime mantle]

Yes, and what about that?

[clear canyon]

Not high end

[lethal moth]

Can't remember name , 650W 80 Bronze

[lime mantle]

Geekbench doesn't let me AI Benchmark

[lime mantle]

fym? that is not mid range

[abstract wigeon]

sounds like psu issue

try other less gpu?

[clear canyon]

Yes it is lol

[lime mantle]

Nah, 3060 is midrange

[robust trail]

I guess run the CPU bench? I dunno

[clear canyon]

So is a 70 class card

[lime mantle]

Doing that:

[tidal geyser]

i thought they must have gone usb-c charging by now

[sour remnant]

Your ram isn’t high end, 3300mts
Your gpu isn’t high end, 3070Ti
M2000 Quadro is ancient garbage
Your board isn’t high end either…

[robust trail]

you can USB charge 🙂

[lime mantle]

No?

[clear canyon]

Yes? Look it up

[tidal geyser]

but not the main charger

[clear canyon]

Plus the 3070 is 5 years old, its no where near high end

[robust trail]

Yeah I dunno they brought back magsafe a while back. Magsafe is badass

[lime mantle]

I don't even understand what kind of mind twister has to be done that it is mid range

[clear canyon]

The 3090 is barely considered high end now

[tidal geyser]

and yea almost all laptops have usb PD now and i think there was something in the EU about it being required or something

[lime mantle]

That is my score: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/12792668

If my score is lower, I shut up

[clear canyon]

Its never been high end and it will never be, its too weak to be considered high end bud

[sour remnant]

3070 is considered a standard by now, Ti’s a little higher up. 80-90 less frequent everyone’s on 40 series

[tidal geyser]

if anything happens to the main charger your fucked

[robust trail]

it is but thats okay @lime mantle

[clear canyon]

Dude got wiped after talkin shit

[sour remnant]

Yk what, imma go benchmark with ye

[lime mantle]

Okay, I'm sorry then

[tidal geyser]

well kinda

[robust trail]

All good

[lime mantle]

I'm still kinda sour on, You know, But I'm not complaining anymore

[tidal geyser]

proprietary chargers are a massive pain

[sour remnant]

Imma compare to ye

[lime mantle]

To who?

[sour remnant]

@robust trail what cpu you running? 😂

[lime mantle]

Well, I was gonna use the PC until 2030 or longer

[tidal geyser]

xd

[clear canyon]

Finally

[robust trail]

It really comes down reliability for me. I need this thing to slap chop without and burps. Windows/Linux can burp and do

[robust trail]

In this mac? Or my desktop(s)?

or the mac I'm on lol

[sour remnant]

Whatever you’re running geekbench on

[lime mantle]

Tell you what, That reality check was something I needed...

[robust trail]

The M4 Max 16CPU/40GPU 128gigglebits

[abstract wigeon]

i use arch btw

[clear canyon]

Sentenced to death

[plush wren]

i use arch btw

[clear canyon]

Same to you

[plush wren]

[lethal moth]

Only have that and a GT 710, which to be fair it does work fine without the power cables connected only pcie. suppose I'll try turning off LEDs, unplugging cables, removing ram sticks etc tomorrow
Only started happening recently though

[lime mantle]

I was a bit disconnected Creaperhead

[plush wren]

sounds a bit too much

[lime mantle]

Well, at least I didn't swear that much

[clear canyon]

Equivalent punishment to the crime

[sour remnant]

@robust trail I’ll send results when mines done

[plush wren]

too bad i didnt switch to linux yet

[fallen sky]

wtf are these for?

[plush wren]

hdd bays?

[fallen sky]

Drives??

[abstract wigeon]

i use arch btw

[clear canyon]

They hold drives

[fallen sky]

AH thought so

[abstract wigeon]

hard drives?

[sour remnant]

Baddie

[fallen sky]

You’re adding a question mark like I know

[lime mantle]

I use Windows 10 22H2 Build 19045.6093

[lime mantle]

They can hold HDD or SSD(SATA)

[plush wren]

shame on you

[south arrow]

Hdd bay yiss

[abstract wigeon]

not even 22h4 this guy is missing out

[fallen sky]

welp won’t be needing these guys at all

[lime mantle]

That is probably Windows 11

[south arrow]

2 screws or so in the bottom of your case unusually to install (behind the psu) see manual for more instructions

[lime mantle]

You don't want extra storage?

[clear canyon]

Probably?

[sour remnant]

There is no 22H4

[lime mantle]

Idk, I use Windows 10

[clear canyon]

You can easily tell via the taskbar

[lime mantle]

Yeah

[abstract wigeon]

i wouldnt know i use arch btw

[lime mantle]

I miss Windows 7 Home Premium

[clear canyon]

More round style and softer color palette

[plush wren]

ts it latest i believe

[sour remnant]

Good for you, no 22H4 update your brains database 💁‍♂️

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/linux-meme-loser-uses-linux-stop-reading-tags-gif-21370654

[sour remnant]

Win 11?

[plush wren]

yes

[abstract wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/i-use-arch-btw-arch-linux-linux-20-century-fox-yes-i-use-arch-btw-gif-8383058472649882025

[lime mantle]

Welp, time to turn off the breaker to my room

[sour remnant]

Ya latest for windows 10 is 22H2

[plush wren]

get ready to update soon

[lime mantle]

What is your opinion on Windows 10/11?

[plush wren]

3 more months and 4 days

[lime mantle]

To go to Windows 11?

[plush wren]

yes

[abstract wigeon]

i like windows 11 more than 10 😛

[lime mantle]

I just wait

[lime mantle]

I don't argue on that ngl. At my workplace there are PC's with windows 11 installed

[sour remnant]

@robust trail

https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/12792738

[lime mantle]

Damn, even your CPU is faster

[lime mantle]

Or should I go now?

[lime mantle]

compared to what I had

[sour remnant]

It won’t go beyond 5,6Ghz

[abstract wigeon]

windows 10 is coming to end of life soon

[sour remnant]

October

[lime mantle]

I'm lucky if I get over 5.3GHz 👀

[abstract wigeon]

what was that thing of windows giving some more security updates if you give them more data? didnt look into it

[sour remnant]

I got 6 cores more than you keep that in mind, that’s if your cpu was combined with a i5-10600

[lime mantle]

Yup, at 14.10.2025

[abstract wigeon]

my 7600 never goes past 4.9 💔

[lime mantle]

How is it that fast? I got 10C20T

[sour remnant]

I got 16C32T

[fallen sky]

Do I even need these

[lime mantle]

But how does it run that fast?

[sour remnant]

Keep in mind I’m not even running a AIO, normal double fan cooler

I’d push even further with an aio, even tho temps maxxed out stay under 80c

[robust trail]

the one thing that does drive me nuts about MacOS is the migration assistant... let me replace my account with my other Mac's account

[lime mantle]

Oh 😮

[abstract wigeon]

aios were created by big water to convince people to spend money for no reason

[sour remnant]

Exactly this, although it does look good

[abstract wigeon]

i never look inside my pc tbf

[sour remnant]

I need to clean my 5080 so I put my 1080 inside quickly just to do that benchmark 😂

[abstract wigeon]

just using phantom spirit 120

[sour remnant]

I’m using peerless assassin

[lime mantle]

Okay, so what aio should I use for my CPU?

[abstract wigeon]

used to run a corsair h105i (iirc) 240mm aio with my 9600k build while back

[abstract wigeon]

phantom spirit

[sour remnant]

What do you have

[sour remnant]

That’s not a aio…

[lime mantle]

Arctic Liquid Freezer 2 360

[abstract wigeon]

arctic freezer 3

[sour remnant]

You have a cooler that topped benchmarks 💀

[abstract wigeon]

youre sorted

[sour remnant]

No need to change

[lime mantle]

Okay, in line a bit of time I get one I would say

[lime mantle]

Wait what?

[frosty oriole]

They do keep temps lower for quieter, and can be much quieter under bursty workloads.

[abstract wigeon]

nope stick with your freezer 2, you wont notice a difference at all

[sour remnant]

By the time you upgrade a LF4 might be released

[lime mantle]

Oh

I’m going off now now
Though

[frosty oriole]

I'm still rocking an H150i from 2020.

[abstract wigeon]

yeah if you have 14900k or something an aio is great but i wouldnt reccomend an aio to the 95% of users who dont need it

[lime mantle]

Going to sleep

[sour remnant]

Aio is just a gimmick for people that don’t know shit to feel like they know shit…

[fringe prairie]

what cpu

[sour remnant]

He has a aio already on a i9-10900K he just didn’t understand the question

[frosty oriole]

For lower powered chips, air coolers are definitely better.

[frosty oriole]

Wat.

[abstract wigeon]

those $200 aio $250 case $150 gpu and $90 cpu builds

[solar moat]

most users want them for the looks

[sour remnant]

Why would you buy a aio for any cpu under 200TDP?

[lime mantle]

Intel Core i9 10900K

[abstract wigeon]

which i think is completely valid if youre into that, but i can never back it when they have a really bad system and ONLY care about looks

[sour remnant]

Exactly my point, it’s for higher end users actually 80-90% using their CPU’s capabilities. No need for aio’s for gaming which is what every tiktok tech kid does…

[abstract wigeon]

my builds have always never cared about looks

[frosty oriole]

I mean, my 3950X has a TDP of only "105W".

[solar moat]

so 142W

[sour remnant]

And you’re running a aio? What a waste

[frosty oriole]

It pulls over 200W.

[lime mantle]

Before I go: the best way to cool the cpu

[solar moat]

PBO

[sour remnant]

This hurts but also clever

[frosty oriole]

That's with a static OC. PBO only pulls around 180W.

[empty quartz]

Too new

[lime mantle]

Yeah, top thing is closed off for some reason

[random gyro]

I got one because it had rgb lol

[abstract wigeon]

the new corsair triple chamber case does this

[sour remnant]

Please use an air compressor and dust that aio…

[tired bear]

Dust-inator

[robust trail]

damn you window focus

[lime mantle]

I just did today

[empty quartz]

@frosty oriole my dad is rocking one of the old h60’s

[lime mantle]

Damn

[wanton trail]

My 3d printer keeps stuttering really bad when it moves anywhere on any axis its a creality ender 3 V3 PLUS

[frosty oriole]

It is nice to have zero noticeable difference in sound in bursty workloads, and it also keeps things a lot cooler in longer workloads.

[lime mantle]

But not all dust went away

[frosty oriole]

Lol, dang bro. I was using one of those temporarily for my Steam Deck.

[lime mantle]

I’m going offline again

[empty quartz]

My dad’s system consists of a corsair 450d, i7 4790k, 16gb ddr3, asus z97 pro wifi ac, and an msi gtx 970

Its a less common msi gtx 970 aswell

[frosty oriole]

Dang, that's an older build. I'm guessing they upgraded the GPU at some point?

[abstract wigeon]

my dad has a better build than me

[frosty oriole]

I knew a guy who ran a 4790K as well until about a year or two ago.

[empty quartz]

Nope

[agile stag]

ive ran them before they do good good cpu

[empty quartz]

Its actually an msi gtx 970 oc

[frosty oriole]

Wait, what year did the 970 come out? I thought the 4790K was older than it.

[empty quartz]

2014

Similar time as the r9 290

[frosty oriole]

Ohh, okay. I thought Nvidia started the 2-year cycle thing with the 10-Series.

So, I thought it was 900 for '15, 10 for '16, 20 for '18, 30 for '20.

[agile stag]

4970k and a 980ti is the dream

[empty quartz]

@sour remnant

I5 13500, rx 6800, and 2x480mm radiators

[sour remnant]

🤣

[empty quartz]

Even more wasteful than akimbo’s system

[sour remnant]

Worth it for the gpu, cpu wasteful
