[plush wren]

try switching to 60hz for a week

[robust trail]

I run at 45 fps or lower on the stuff I can run on the gaming machine I use

[odd marsh]

man you'd hate my current RDR2 performance

[sand epoch]

i game on 180hz no thank you

[plush wren]

i played assetto on 40 fps before and it didnt even feel that bad for some reason

[sand epoch]

for rdr2 I get like 80 fps which is ok at best , i had to tweak some stuff on vulkan

[plush wren]

[sand epoch]

80 is ok on rdr online but it's dead

[gloomy sleet]

dang

[plush wren]

Lmao

[odd marsh]

I get 60 avg usually, 70 in super non-intensive stuff. I also just use DX12

[gloomy sleet]

10 year old game at 40fps

[plush wren]

it was when i had my 1050 ti

[gloomy sleet]

what was bro running

[sand epoch]

i too had super low frames on asseto corsa , is it like not optimised?

[gloomy sleet]

did you turn on extrafx

[sand epoch]

i had 2 fps on asseto corsa

[plush wren]

idk but it was on higher settings

[robust trail]

I would say be happy with 70fps, turn the graphic settings down if you want more framies 🙂 High/Medium is almost always as good looking at placebo ultra

[plush wren]

you're not setting up something right

[gloomy sleet]

it is i get 170fps at 1440p native on my 4060

ill dm you a graphics preset if you want

[sand epoch]

i got 1-2 fps

all i did was load a mini truck on a city map

[robust trail]

I should probably at least update the drivers on my gaming PC

[gloomy sleet]

just dont enable this and youll be fine

[robust trail]

I really want to rebuild into an itx form factor

[odd marsh]

4K high/medium + DLSS Quality/Balanced and 4070 puts up a good fight

[robust trail]

but I'm soooooo lazy

[sand epoch]

i can't believe my friends use a 4070 to play Roblox and they don't even use their pc to play it , they usually just keep it on and play from their phone

some people clearly don't have any gaming taste

[high acorn]

Guys will a rx 6600 and an Intel i5 10400f be fine for games like tf2, cs2, and Bo6?

[odd marsh]

just let the people game how they want

[sand epoch]

the ironic part is he says pc has no games and they're boring

he didn't even cross the epilogue of cyberpunk and rdr2

[robust trail]

I play factorio on an RTX Pro 6000

[odd marsh]

Factorio is on my list to play, but quite the backlog

[robust trail]

Beware

[high acorn]

Guys will a rx 6600 and an Intel i5 10400f be fine for games like tf2, cs2, and Bo6?

[odd marsh]

it's just his opinion, you can try and convince him otherwise, but who really cares

[robust trail]

a 1 hour Factorio session is 19 hours in real time

[sand epoch]

yes

[high acorn]

And some pcvr games

[sand epoch]

unless you turn on fg

warzone viewing distance becomes shit if u do

[odd marsh]

shouldn't use FSR FG anyways

[high acorn]

Good cause that’s all ima play with it and whatever games I couldn’t play on console

[odd marsh]

this is a 1080p low machine, please don't play with FG or upscaling on AMD

[gloomy sleet]

real

[high acorn]

And it’s for 1080p

[gloomy sleet]

i did a solo 12 hour race once my wife wont notice if its factorio

[gentle kestrel]

i only use my 4070 for xbox 360 era games and a 2013 mmo

[sand epoch]

i think 1080p is better for fsr and fg because u don't really see the blurring? i can point out the graphical downgrades at 1440p on my 27inch widescreen

[gentle kestrel]

my 5070ti will also go through the same treatment soon

[gloomy sleet]

ill trade you

1060 for it

[maiden flicker]

i got a question, but i have a csv file log, from hardwareinfo i need to figure out what the total powerdraw on everything was, is there anything that i can open the file into that would help with parsing it for that? as im trying to figure out why im getting powerloss reboots from opening some games

[gentle kestrel]

hey once i finish call of duty 4 it’ll be going up to 2009 games instead of 2007

[gloomy sleet]

lmao

[odd marsh]

NVIDIA FG sure, but AMDs upscaling and FG is not good, and when upscaling performs visually better when it has more information (a higher resolution) going below 1080p is not good

[odd marsh]

Excel?

[sand epoch]

finish? u haven't finish the campaign?

[maiden flicker]

it doesn't have headers

so no clue what is what

[gentle kestrel]

replaying

[odd marsh]

Ik there is a tool to view it, but I can not remember off the top of my head sorry

[gentle kestrel]

in act 2 rn

[sand epoch]

which part is act 2

after the nuke goes off?

[gentle kestrel]

nuke ends act 1 yeah

so i’m a couple missions past that

[sand epoch]

oh yea the pvt or whatever that guy died

[lapis talon]

Should I go for the nothing phone 3a for $350ish or the Poco F7 for $450ish? I don't do mobile gaming

[sand epoch]

i like Google pixels better at that range

[lapis talon]

Network issues in my country

[sand epoch]

well then id just go for a used s series samsung or iphone if you're ok with it

[lapis talon]

Don't really want used

[sand epoch]

a s21 ultra or s22 ultra should be available for 450

[sand epoch]

then go with nothing 3a

[lapis talon]

If I get the nothing, I can spend that $100ish on my pc

[sand epoch]

yeah that's better

[lapis talon]

But UFS 2.1

That's ancient

[sand epoch]

if you just use your phone to doom scroll on social media like me , does it even matter

you're saving 100$ and could invest it for actual gaming experience

i bought a 600$ phone just to use tiktok and instagram (i don't even take pictures , i just watch reels and tiktok)

it would've been the same experience if it was a 200$ samsung

[lapis talon]

Hmmmmm

I don't even use tiktok

[tidal geyser]

when was the last time you even had a SD card slot on your phone

[lapis talon]

I just want to be able to use the phone comfortably for 4+ years

[lapis talon]

Recently actually

[tidal geyser]

and then when you did, did you even use it

[lapis talon]

Redmi note 7

[high acorn]

Guys im the only one….

[tidal geyser]

2019

[sand epoch]

i can't even use a sd card anymore on my s24

there goes 128gb

[lapis talon]

Flex right here

[sand epoch]

flex? not being able to use a sd and not having a headphone jack isn't a flex

[tidal geyser]

o well 512GB phone with 144hz and 125w charger and charging all for 380

[charred kiln]

damn yoda is powerful in battlefront innit

[tidal geyser]

so idc

i cant ever see me using more then even just 256GB on my phone

[sand epoch]

512? goddamn

holy shit

[lapis talon]

I mean that's better than a redmi note 7 at least

[tidal geyser]

tbf a 512GB chip is what 50$

[high acorn]

The only one in my class who knows how to build a pc and it makes me feel like a nerd.

[tidal geyser]

so like its not spensive to slap in a phone

[sand epoch]

the only thing I actually like about the phone is the cricle to search feature

[lapis talon]

My mother recently got a s25u with 512gb

[tidal geyser]

i was in a class of 30 about kinda building computers and such and at the end of the year i was still kinda the only one who knew how to build a pc

[sand epoch]

i just press the home gesture button and can easily use the Google lens or translate the entire page without having to ss and put it on lens manually

[lapis talon]

Which, even redmi budget phones have now

[sand epoch]

oh damn

[sand epoch]

there goes my happiness

[sand epoch]

goddamn

[lapis talon]

Still not as good as samsung

[sand epoch]

i thought it was a s series samsung only thing

[sand epoch]

wdym , it works the same?

[high acorn]

When I was building my first one I could not figure out how to put the cpu cooler backplate on and I thought I killed my motherboard but it’s somehow fine?

[lapis talon]

Idek bro I suddenly found it in the settings

[lapis talon]

No it's pretty buggy right now

[tidal geyser]

a pc is made to be built

by anyone with hands

other then the cpu socket messing up and permanently breaking something is HARD

[lapis talon]

Anywho, the only thing that scares me about the nothing 3a is the storage speed

[boreal vine]

chat should i be a nuisance and try and sell ewaste to cex?

[lapis talon]

I used to use a Poco F6 until recently

[tidal geyser]

wat

[lapis talon]

Used it for 4ish months

[sand epoch]

does your redmi have this optical zoom thing too?

[tidal geyser]

it does not have a HDD in it

[lapis talon]

And it was FAST

[tidal geyser]

ew redmi

[lapis talon]

UFS 2.1

[sand epoch]

mines not a redmi , it's a samsung

[lapis talon]

Where's that

[tidal geyser]

aint that for SD cards also why would it even matter

[tidal geyser]

ew and ew

[lapis talon]

Apps take longer to launch

[sand epoch]

0/10 ragebait

[tidal geyser]

12 and now probs over like 60 i think

[lapis talon]

UFS 2.1 and 4.0 are years apart

[tidal geyser]

if its on the SD card

[elder quarry]

So you’re 13

[lapis talon]

No, it's the phones storage itself

[high acorn]

No im 14

[proper gull]

I question why I bother looking at this chat every time you speak

[sand epoch]

told you , you wouldn't even spot the difference unless you're file transferring , you only watch reels or tiktok at most on a phone

[tidal geyser]

so stop doing that?

[elder quarry]

“I built my first pc when I was 13 and I built my first pc a couple weeks ago”

[high acorn]

Uhhh where did you find that

[sleek ibex]

My back pain is shooting up like crazy

[lapis talon]

I take pictures every now and then and once again, I want to use this thing for 4-5 years

[sleek ibex]

[sand epoch]

do u take 4k videos? only raw footages which are like 10 20gb need high speed transfers , you're fine when u transfer a 10mb photo

i realised I have a storage problem when my videos are 50gb now because i shot everything on uhd 60fps

[lapis talon]

I'm not transferring anything 😭, I'm mainly concerned that it might slow down the app launching speeds and other stuff over the years like my previous redmi did

[tender bluff]

god i remember building my first computer when HDD jumpers were a thing.

[sand epoch]

it'll increase from 5 to 5.4s

[sleek ibex]

My first was from a time when Windows was still built on top of DOS

[sand epoch]

my 5 year old xiaomi works fine

[ripe solstice]

anyone got any recommendations for a 360mm aio black

[sand epoch]

can't go wrong with a corsair

[tidal geyser]

i think it might just be moreso it being you know old not the storage itself

[tidal geyser]

why AIO

[lapis talon]

Hmmmm

[tidal geyser]

my UFS 2.2 phone launches apps QUICK

[lapis talon]

That is the job of androids

[ripe solstice]

what else

[tidal geyser]

air

[ripe solstice]

mitx

[tidal geyser]

so air

not a lot of m-itx cases that can even do watercooling

[lapis talon]

But I feel like if something has a powerful chipset like the SD 8s Gen 4, then it'll be fine over the years

One thing that I'm worried about the Poco is that, the battery life might get whack over the years

It does have a 7550mAh battery

But my experience with the F6 was sad so I've lost hope

[tidal geyser]

i think that is what phone batterys do well every lithium well any battery i know of does

[sleek ibex]

And back when fucking Cyrix was still around

[sand epoch]

me using a air cooler after my r9 7900x explodes

[fringe prairie]

2018 lmao

[robust trail]

If you're concerned about battery degradation, set charging to 80% for daily use 🙂

[tidal geyser]

but yea kinda got it wrong on what he meant but yea even for SD cards the speed does matter there as it is faster then USB 2.0 and faster then even wifi 6 on most phones so if you really wanna transfer it is where you would also be looking at speeds

[sand epoch]

can't go back to a air cooler from a aio

[lapis talon]

I'm not trying to prevent it, I'm just trying to make sure the phone can hold up over the years

[ripe solstice]

I found one that can

[sand epoch]

air cooler are so lame

[tidal geyser]

basic stuff like slow charge DO NOT go below 20% and 80% and so on

[lapis talon]

Me using the stock cooler right now with 63C idle

[odd marsh]

I go to 15% and 85%

[tidal geyser]

i dono i like not having a risk of the thing holding my entire pc up dying taking it down for a LONG LONG time

[tidal geyser]

technically the best place to be 24/7 is 50%

[sand epoch]

aios are fine and they're good if you're building a pc for aesthetic

[odd marsh]

Air Coolers are the 🐐

[ripe solstice]

yeah I am

[sand epoch]

u eventually want aesthetic if you're spending a lot of money on a pc

can't achieve that with a air cooler

[tidal geyser]

wat

[sleek ibex]

[robust trail]

https://tenor.com/view/zargoth-gif-15673802963682771818

[odd marsh]

Yeah but unobtainable, I try to not go below 20% but shit happens, 85% just gives me a little bit more juice

https://tenor.com/view/what-you-talking-about-cute-adorable-wat-dog-gif-14770516

[sand epoch]

id go for a corsair 360mm aio

[tidal geyser]

yea

[robust trail]

@ripe solstice would you rather spend money on quality or go with a poop of the mill AIO?

[tidal geyser]

corsair is just overpriced asatek

[fringe prairie]

tr frozen edge/notte/infinity or lf3 pro

[tidal geyser]

some 50$ thermalrighte AIO of 30$ cooler is what most people should get

[odd marsh]

I charge just once every like 30 hours I think? So pretty good and it's still way better for battery life

[ripe solstice]

I just want a black one with a temp display

[odd marsh]

Air Cooler Supremacy

[tidal geyser]

i use my phone a bit so its about once a day

[tidal geyser]

yup not possible

[tender bluff]

gunna be dead in 2 months

[fringe prairie]

tr core vision or warframe pro are solid

[odd marsh]

yeah I am trying to use my phone as little as possible now

[tidal geyser]

its funny how much hate i give to AIOs while having one myself

[odd marsh]

My G2 sits in a closet now while I have an AIO lol

[sleek ibex]

I don't do AIOs

[tidal geyser]

i almost want to use it more as if not it means im just sitting all day

[tidal geyser]

i do not rec AIOs

[robust trail]

Oh, I would say https://shop.alphacool.com/en/shop/cpu-gpu-aios/cpu-aio/koi-alphacool-eisbaer-aurora-360-cpu-digital-rgb-v1.1 over a run of the mill asetek but if you want a display that's your jam! Consider what you want. Asetek based AIOs are basically all the same so don't spend all the money on one.

[tender bluff]

I downgraded from a full custom loop to an AIO. no regerts!

[tidal geyser]

170 WHAT

[odd marsh]

I have one for my PA602 but air coolers are so cool man

[robust trail]

What, it's an AIO that is built by actual engineers

[rough juniper]

hi, i am newer to the PC MAster Race and i was gifted this PC i am to make content Game and stream all on this PC, i did plan on a 2,5K CAD pc build but i dont know if building a PC is still worth it knowing i was gifted this one:

CPU i5-14400F
Clock Speed 2.5 GHz Base P-core frequency (up to 4.7 GHz P-core max turbo frequency)
Number of Cores 10 Cores / 16 Threads (6 P-cores, 4 E-cores)
GPU RTX 4060
Graphics Memory 8GB
Memory Capacity 32GB
Memory Type DDR4
SSD Capacity 1TB
Operating System Windows 11 Home
Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth
Motherboard B760M GAMING PLUS WIFI

[sand epoch]

i would rather take a aio which was playing a gif matching to my desktop wallpaper

[robust trail]

not "Give me your cookie cutter and I'll bend it a bit to make it my own"

[tidal geyser]

try and use it if you have issues come back and we can help with upgrading it

[tidal geyser]

but why

also why the desktop wallpaper

your only gonna be looking at it like 10sec a day

[ripe solstice]

I gotta see how customisable those TR displays are cause the pictures they took look bum

[sand epoch]

that's you , i do it often times more

[tidal geyser]

as you do not spend 5k on a pc to look at the fkn wallpaper with it XD

[sand epoch]

many people ik irl do and I do too

[odd marsh]

Just have a pure black wallpaper

[tidal geyser]

hey i was gonna say that

[ripe solstice]

I like NZXTs displays but so expensive like fml

[odd marsh]

OLED4LYFE

[sand epoch]

didn't pay for wall paper engine for nothing

[tender bluff]

how would i know if my oled is on or off?

[odd marsh]

move your mouse

[tidal geyser]

my wallpaper

[tidal geyser]

well AIOS that have a screen are only like what 80$ or smn

[livid fern]

Thermalright

[tidal geyser]

press windows

[tidal geyser]

thermalspite

[rough juniper]

this is the build i was planning https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/mX2bHW

[livid fern]

Thermalswap

[tidal geyser]

thermalwrong

[tender bluff]

i use hyprland there is no menu

[ripe solstice]

https://www.pccasegear.com/products/61294/corsair-icue-h150i-elite-360mm-lcd-xt-display-aio-cpu-cooler

[livid fern]

Thermalthrott

[tidal geyser]

why the AIO

[tidal geyser]

thermalthrottle

[livid fern]

Nonono

[rough juniper]

i was told it was better @tidal geyser is an air cooler enough?

[tidal geyser]

XD

who told you it was better

[rough juniper]

the guy at canada computer... lol

[tidal geyser]

especially for that cpu

[tidal geyser]

did you also say you had a 7800X3D?

[rough juniper]

yeah

he basiclly made me this build quiickly

[tidal geyser]

he is horrible at making lists

[rough juniper]

hahahah

what would you change in there??

[tidal geyser]

all of it

also you already got a pc

[sand epoch]

can already tell the pc would look great

but id prefer a nzxt or corsair aio

i like circular aios better than square ones

[rough juniper]

im being told its a horrible list lol

[tidal geyser]

john has been laughed at for a short while now fyi

[rough juniper]

hahahahha makes sense now

[tidal geyser]

you can do 5070 ti and 9800X3D for that price

without one day streaming the pc just die

[sand epoch]

coming from someone who says ew to android , hmm

[tidal geyser]

when did i do that?

[rough juniper]

i was not hearing great things about the 98003xd

[tidal geyser]

also no i was kinda joking about that

[sand epoch]

sure

[tidal geyser]

from who, everyone i know who has one LOVES IT

[tidal geyser]

you do know i have a android phone

i also have a samsung right next to me too

and i have some redmi buds in my pocket

[tidal geyser]

ok maybe a bit too ambitious there

[brazen glen]

It’s basically a do it all chip, high clocks and lots of cache

[tidal geyser]

the main benefit this time around is cache on bottom

it means its a 9700X in other things then gaming while last gen the 7800x3D was more like what a 7600

[charred kiln]

air cooler supremacy

[charred kiln]

swap the GPU out for something better and ur golden for a long while

[charred kiln]

the blowing up issue is very rare, but you probably don't need it with what you have

[tidal geyser]

i would just try the pc as is

worst case a few extra days with a older pc

[charred kiln]

yeah thats an option too

[tidal geyser]

i have seen too many people get a 5090 and 9950X3D pc or whatever then just sit there and watch youtube or play roblox

[charred kiln]

the 4060 aint a bad GPU

[tidal geyser]

the gpu in my laptop is able to do 120 fps in most games

2070

[charred kiln]

people often feel pressured to have the latest and greatest even if they don't need it

[tidal geyser]

way slower then a 4060

[tidal geyser]

like that guy

[charred kiln]

but ngl I am so over with PCs I gave up my GPU upgrade for a 3D printer

[ripe solstice]

does mobo really matter if I aint tryna overclock just get cheapest one right

[charred kiln]

I am not getting a new GPU in a long while, I am holding on to my 3070Ti till it fuckin dies

[true stirrup]

Get something that has at least some VRM heatsinks

[tidal geyser]

up to what overclocking

[tidal geyser]

that vram suffer tho

[buoyant bridge]

Fear the dual xeons and 8 HDDs powered by a thermaltake smart 600W

[tidal geyser]

i hope power is not spensive

[rough juniper]

hey last question? instead of buying w hole new PC could i just upgrade the CPU and GPU ??? is that hard to do??

[tidal geyser]

cpu is fine

also again how many times do i need to say it worst case yes upgrade

[rough juniper]

yeah i wont build a whol;e new system

[buoyant bridge]

imo that's not a lot of power

[tidal geyser]

come here ask what can be upgrade, for that matter you can even ping me for it

[tidal geyser]

the main issue is dual socket and older xeons have BAD BAD BAD idles

[rough juniper]

i would prefer top upgrade GPU to a 5070 or 5070ti is that possible with the 14400f

[buoyant bridge]

It's E5 V4 those don't idle that bad and they're full load 99% of the time anyways

[tidal geyser]

i would imagine that pc as a whole will be 150-200w 24/7

[tidal geyser]

wait what do you do with it

[tidal geyser]

5070 is not top

[tidal geyser]

you can even put a 5090 or even rtx pro 6000

you can even do that with your current cpu

as pcie is backwards AND forwards compatible

so you can put a gpu from 2006 and earlier into your pc or a gpu from i would imagine 2030 in that pc

[buoyant bridge]

Bunch of VMs

[tidal geyser]

for what

[buoyant bridge]

Remote access stuff.

Basically it's running thin clients

[tidal geyser]

why not just get a server rack for the office

[buoyant bridge]

I have a server rack + all the stuff this runs is on the same general area (3 seperate lots) as my house

[tidal geyser]

also why risk everything on a smart psu

[buoyant bridge]

its all backed up bi hourly lol

[tidal geyser]

not that

what about the people trying to work

[buoyant bridge]

its remote stuff and when the PSU fails ill replace it ig

[tidal geyser]

still a few hrs people were not able to work

[buoyant bridge]

"oh no I wasn't able to do the task I have to do on an onsite machine that I litterally only need to spend half an hour on a month"

[tidal geyser]

you said the "and they're full load 99% of the time anyways"

[buoyant bridge]

yeah because they need to have the VMs active

like 60ish instances of Windows 10 is STILL a lot of compute

[tidal geyser]

still on 10?

[charred kiln]

yeah the 3070Ti is sorely lacking in that matter, but its overall fine for minecraft, trackmania and battlefront 2 so im good lol

[tidal geyser]

windows is efficient at idle

[buoyant bridge]

its 10 LTSC why would I switch on something borderline irrelvant as to windows version

[tidal geyser]

eh fair

[elder quarry]

Yeah just like 7% cpu usage

[empty quartz]

Meow

[elder quarry]

[tidal geyser]

reinstall windows

[elder quarry]

I don’t have windows and thats stupid

[empty quartz]

I need to get like 4 nvme drives and a thunderbolt aic

[tidal geyser]

windows can go down to 0.1% if clean and not trash tier cpu

[elder quarry]

No you don’t

[empty quartz]

Well 2 thunderbolt aic’s*

later this year

[azure topaz]

windows will go to 1% or below on even vanilla installs and mediocre cpus

like my 5700G can idle at 1% in windows without any insane changes

just local account and no one drive

[empty quartz]

@azure topaz low voltage

[tidal geyser]

no

[azure topaz]

low ish voltage

[azure topaz]

serber?

[cyan latch]

Running Cinebench rn, is the throttle tracker on HWInfo accurate

https://i.imgur.com/7zWrVUd.png

[trim gyro]

they're accurate enough

[empty quartz]

Workstation

[azure topaz]

same thing

[azure topaz]

What score are you getting?

[gray sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/im-not-a-perfect-person-cat-side-eye-distress-looking-gif-16639804187763803346

[cyan latch]

No score just throttle test

[azure topaz]

theres always a score, hover over the orange bar

[cyan latch]

oh sec

[azure topaz]

looks like thats probably around 14000 or 14500

[cyan latch]

https://i.imgur.com/p3ETb63.png

[azure topaz]

ehhh

that seems low i think

[cyan latch]

ahh ok

I have Thermalright peerless assassin 120 SE

[azure topaz]

let me research and confirm

[thorn escarp]

wait wtf i didnt know american people had trouble getting gpus at msrp too

[simple dagger]

I think i get 20,145 on my i5-13600k personally. Tho it’s got more cores so makes sense

[thorn escarp]

am i lowk stupid

[cyan latch]

with NT-H2

[azure topaz]

yeah sounds right

i get like 43k or something but im rude

[simple dagger]

lul

[gloomy sleet]

how are they legally allowed to do this

[brazen glen]

This is a totally fine computer and you could realistically drive a 5070/5070ti at 1440p. You won’t be topping any benchmark charts but it will work and you will have fun using it

[simple dagger]

I’ma wait for Ryzen 11000 to release and Intel Core Ultra S300 before considering any upgrades

[gloomy sleet]

same

[simple dagger]

If i go amd, i need a new mobo. If i go intel, i need a new mobo. So New Mobo in any case

[azure topaz]

i have a 13900ks, i just like overclocking though so i plan on buying basically everything

[gloomy sleet]

you can run a 4060 at 1440p with minimal issues

atleast 60fps medium settings in modern games

if they actually run ok that is

[cyan latch]

ahh ok

[simple dagger]

To make it a decent upgrade, i’d prob jump to an Core Ultra 7 or a Ryzen 7 CPU for my next upgrade

[cyan latch]

HWInfo doesnt indicate any throttling, is it reliable? https://i.imgur.com/qmkz0St.png

[simple dagger]

240AIO should be able to handle it no problems

I want performance, not a room furnace

[azure topaz]

yes its reliable, the CPU doesnt actually throttle until its below base clock

whats happening in your scenario is that PBO is boosting like crazy then its getting too hot thne backing up a couple hundred mhz to keep cool

which is entirely normal and documented behavior

[simple dagger]

My GPU which is technically quite efficient and cold, aka the RTX 4070 is noticably warm during the summer. Those 180 watts generate some heat in my room

[elder quarry]

Wdym

[azure topaz]

tell me about it bro. my cpu can draw that much power in loading screens and my gpu will suck up 300W sometimes 😭

[simple dagger]

Atleast it’s silent because it doesn’t really ever go above 60°C under full load

[simple dagger]

Most of the heat is dumped out the window tho

My PC is next to an open window all summer with exhaust fan pointing at the window

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/makin-smth-with-this-trust-w-gif-gif-5790956484979011289

[azure topaz]

is the strange reseller brand new to amazon with no reviews

if the reseller has a ton of reviews and looks overall reputable id save the 50$

[vapid onyx]

it has mixed they say is official xfx reseller but if the card is faulty they will charge me 200 $ for shipping and then they will give me 80% of total cost included shipping i think

[tidal geyser]

wat

[azure topaz]

lol you dont send them back the card if its amazon and defective

you send the card to XFX themselves for them to fix it, then XFX themselves sends you it back

[tidal geyser]

also you pay for shipping on amazon

[abstract wigeon]

200 for shipping?? do you live in narnia?

[vapid onyx]

nope is free

[tidal geyser]

if you need to do so

[vapid onyx]

italy but i have to ship it to portugal back

[abstract wigeon]

i would wait until you have local stock it is not worth the extra 200

[azure topaz]

anyways this, youd just do an RMA with the manufacturer not the seller

[vapid onyx]

that is the local stock

[abstract wigeon]

how come shipping is 200

[azure topaz]

its that or pay an extra 50$ for amazon prime

shiping isnt 200 mister

[abstract wigeon]

uh

[azure topaz]

shipping is free but hes afraid of the card being defective and having to send it back THEN paying for the shipping

[abstract wigeon]

oh so its 200 to ship it back ohkie

[vapid onyx]

i saw some rewiews and they say 200

[azure topaz]

or he can get it from amazon themselves for 50$ at the hope of not paying big money if its defective

[abstract wigeon]

reviews?

[azure topaz]

did you not read anything else i said

[azure topaz]

i also said that you dont send defective brand new cards back to the amazon seller if theyre broken

[tidal geyser]

so go for the cheaper card

[vapid onyx]

this is the 50$ more expensive card

[azure topaz]

you send them to the manufacturer. with 0 communication through amazon at all

[tidal geyser]

OK?

[abstract wigeon]

more than what?

[vapid onyx]

this is the cheapest

whit 2.2 star shipping rating

[abstract wigeon]

just get this

[tidal geyser]

go for that

[abstract wigeon]

the 50 more is for looks not performance

[tidal geyser]

we looking at the same thing???

[abstract wigeon]

and that nitro+ uses 12vhpwr so make of that what you will

[vapid onyx]

i said shipping

[azure topaz]

just check whos selling it

[tidal geyser]

tf does that even mean

[vapid onyx]

the seller

[azure topaz]

scroll down click the blue "sold by" name and look/show us the reviews

if theyre bad dont buy it frmo that seller itrs that simple

[azure topaz]

what

1 man get the 1g tube

[tidal geyser]

you building 100 computers?

[azure topaz]

1g is enough for 2 devices/computers/cpus

(more tbh)

[strange atlas]

i will both repaste 2 gpus and 2 cpus

[steel umbra]

don't forget amazon tends to mix reviews from different products and sellers

[azure topaz]

then get a 2 or 4g

[tidal geyser]

ok then 4G tube

[strange atlas]

alright thanks

[tidal geyser]

das i why me ask for link

what was man sniffing

[steel umbra]

you have to login actually to see more reviews and use more filters

it wasn't that before

[strange atlas]

8 gr version is only %19 more expensive by the way still should i get 4 gr

[azure topaz]

do you plan to paste about a million computers

[strange atlas]

nope

but seemed really cheap

[tidal geyser]

dam

[azure topaz]

paste is indeed super cheap but id just get the 4. thats still way more than you need by like double or more

[tidal geyser]

o well this is as far as i care

[fallen sky]

Alright pro tip of the day: if you somehow managed to get a hex bolt stuck in a screw in your motherboard, use needle pliers and break that son of a bitch

Worked like a charm

[strange atlas]

I do build computer for customers but nowadays almost every cooler comest with paste i even use the left on my computers

[azure topaz]

yea

[tidal geyser]

bed bolt stick

bed bolt stick in a screw in your motherboard

[strange atlas]

alright

[tidal geyser]

just what

[fallen sky]

Reread it

I fucking hate auto correct sometimes

[tidal geyser]

im trying

[fallen sky]

It’s a 50/50 with autocorrect

[tidal geyser]

i do not know of anything that uses hex in a pc

only star

[strange atlas]

I think i'm using too much paste maybe? not doing over mcuh like when i put cooler on and remove it only goes to side where it suppose to go but a when i used 2 gr tf7 it was barely enough for one gpu

[tidal geyser]

o you mean standoff

[fallen sky]

I just broke it off

[fallen sky]

Fuckin whatever it is

[azure topaz]

2g is definitely too much for 1 gpu

1g at most and thats if its a fuckin chonker

[tidal geyser]

also no you just hold it with the pliers then unscrew it

[azure topaz]

a gram of paste is a lot

[fallen sky]

I tried.

[tidal geyser]

DO NOT just rip it apart

[fallen sky]

It was nearly impossible

[steel umbra]

0.4g is enough for a medium sized die

[strange atlas]

Got it thank you maybe its cause tf 7 is too thick i dont know

[azure topaz]

perhaps. do you spread it yourself?

[tidal geyser]

how am i so easily able to do it for the past like 20 times it happend to me

[strange atlas]

Sometimes

[azure topaz]

in most cases id just let the cooler spread it, some people would disagree but idk seems to wokr

[strange atlas]

Depends if its am4 or am5

in am4 i just slap it on

[fallen sky]

Idk but here was the outcome, perfectly fine

[azure topaz]

a GPU i can understand spreading manually but any IHS gets no care

[fallen sky]

Don’t mind the chipped board

[strange atlas]

oh for gpu i do spread it yes

[azure topaz]

minding it

[strange atlas]

I cant risk getting bald spot

[steel umbra]

both ways are fine, just make sure you put enough or a certain pattern so all of the die is paste'd

[fallen sky]

Silly me

[tidal geyser]

[vapid onyx]

idk if to get from that seller

[azure topaz]

brooo

i understand its a lot of money and an important purchasing decision but i think we've done all we can

the seller seems okay, 78% positive is pretty good, if anything goes wrong with the card you do NOT send it back to the seller

[vapid onyx]

how much time it takes to send it to powercolor?

[strange atlas]

By the way should i get Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite P620? its kinda cheap and i was wondering if i could also game on it

[azure topaz]

idfk bro the chances for a defective card from either amazon seller is the same

[tidal geyser]

its not gonna happen

[azure topaz]

and you dont have to send it back to either of them they go to whoever made the gpu if anything went wrong

you do NOT go through amazon at all

[vapid onyx]

yeah but amazon give me money in 2 days seller in 3 months

or idk

[tidal geyser]

wat

[azure topaz]

bro if you get a defective card and send it to the people who make it

youre just going to get a new/fixed gpu

[tidal geyser]

they can repair it

[vapid onyx]

so to powercolor?

[azure topaz]

yes

[tidal geyser]

the people who make it yes

[azure topaz]

you arent sending it in for a refund though 😭

you send it in so they can actually fix it and give it back to you 😭

[tidal geyser]

sending defective products back as working is not a big brain move

[strange atlas]

Does rx6800 worth upgrading in this day and age? i'm using 1440p

[azure topaz]

yes

[strange atlas]

hmm what would you recommend

[tidal geyser]

there is a 5090

[strange atlas]

I only play story based games

[azure topaz]

5070ti and 9070xt are both great value cards and significant upgrades

[tidal geyser]

does the 6800 do what you want?

[azure topaz]

if you only play story games id go nvidia so you can do JUICY rtx

[tidal geyser]

rtx?

[strange atlas]

i cant do ti or xt but i can get the basic versions?

[azure topaz]

diff between a 3080 and say a 7800xt with RT is genuinely wild

[tidal geyser]

has nvidia done some new proprietary RT

[tidal geyser]

so go for a 9060 xt or 9070 xt?

[azure topaz]

no but RTX is the RT featureset

[strange atlas]

Only and only problem with this card is probably the ray tracing

Other than that i havent had any problems

[azure topaz]

are they nearly as good at the same price point?

[strange atlas]

i just bought it anyways its been like 4 months

[azure topaz]

to say a 5070/ti

[tidal geyser]

that is still like 100$ more

[azure topaz]

i thought nvidia was still a decent amount better

[tidal geyser]

i do not think it is as big as people think

[azure topaz]

100$ more is worth it if all i do is play story games and want goated graphics

[tidal geyser]

if you just want the end then 5090 here you come

[azure topaz]

id wait if youre content besides rt but thats up to you

[strange atlas]

In here yes 5070ti is like 150 dollars more than 9070xt but depends on the brand yes

[tidal geyser]

a 9070 xt is 150$ more then a 9070 xt?

[strange atlas]

I feel like gpus are getting more expensive everyday i'm scared if i cant get a gpu in the future

[tidal geyser]

hmmmmmmmmmm

[strange atlas]

oh shit i meant 5070ti is more expensive

[azure topaz]

yea

9070xt's are finally getting a decent amount cheaper than a 70ti here too

the typical radeon plan

[tidal geyser]

i was gonna say the performance increase too but not really a thing

[strange atlas]

Is 875 dollar normal for 9070xt? its the cheapest ones :d

[azure topaz]

yeesh

[tidal geyser]

hardware unboxed did a massive whoopse

[trim gyro]

too expensive

[azure topaz]

very expensive

theyre like 700ish here now

[plain cypress]

What happened

[azure topaz]

theyre stupid

[tidal geyser]

the 9070 xt driver shit

[azure topaz]

released amd driver glaze video claiming performance increase by decent amounts, no other reviewers could replicate

[tidal geyser]

they claimed it was 19% better or smn now

[strange atlas]

I wonder if i can snuck a gpu from abroad

[azure topaz]

and they fucking called it finewine again

😭 pisses me off fr

its not an irregular thing for something to get moderately better performance with driver updates

[ebon marlin]

Damn the CMF buds 2 plus are IP55 rated that's Lowkey very impressive considering the Airpods Pro 2's are IPX4

50 bucks vs 200 bucks

[plain cypress]

AMD should raise pricing accordingly

[azure topaz]

amd should lay off a corresponding amount of employees

[plain cypress]

"fine wine"

4 months

Someone doesn't understand wine

[azure topaz]

😭

[ebon marlin]

Quickie wine

[plain cypress]

I don't understand wine but I'm pretty sure you don't get fine wine in 4 months

[tidal geyser]

i love how rx 400 and such cards got a game driver update not long ago

[plain cypress]

Huhhh

Didn't AMD sunset GCN a while ago?

[ebon marlin]

It's just that good fine wine that it develops in just 4 months

[tidal geyser]

just the latest

WAY WAY WAY slower release

[plain cypress]

There was definitely a news era that GCN was killed in the past 2 years

[tidal geyser]

it mostly is

but it still gets the basics

[plain cypress]

Which was funny cause they introduced "new" product skus with sunsetted drivers

[strange atlas]

Is there any headphone that can reduce incoming outside noises for cheap

my upper neighbor is too noisy i cant listen to anything

[tidal geyser]

you mean ANC?

[azure topaz]

bro the fury was like 3 years old and they removed drivers for it

[strange atlas]

Yes that one

[plain cypress]

You need something with a good seal
Whether that be over ears or in ear; a good seal does a lot of passive noise cancelling

[plain cypress]

Lmao
I meant Vega and Polaris tho

[azure topaz]

oh

[plain cypress]

Not that there is much to improve driver wise for product refreshes with Vega iGPU

Aside from device ID list I suppose

[strange atlas]

so ssomething like this wont work

[plain cypress]

On ears typically have bad isolation
And are usually uncomfortable

I hate on ear

[azure topaz]

fuck on ears

[plain cypress]

I think they mostly exist for kids

[tidal geyser]

on ears are the worst

[strange atlas]

Gotcha

[azure topaz]

and for cheap mass produced gabrage for people who dont know any better

people buying off just brand "oh yeah JBL is good"

[strange atlas]

Would this work blackshark v2 x

Only posting cheap ones i dont care if its good brand or bad brand

[tidal geyser]

that does not even have ANC

[strange atlas]

i dont know i was looking if it has good coverage 👨‍🦲

[strange atlas]

apparently yes

oh it says mic sorry

[tidal geyser]

😐

[strange atlas]

Why is headphones this expensive what the hell man

[tidal geyser]

man has yet to see anything HI-FI

[strange atlas]

235 dollar for a headphone is a crazy thing to ask for

[tidal geyser]

XD

[strange atlas]

I can buy a good gpu for like probably 150 bucks

[tidal geyser]

joking right

that is budget headphones

[strange atlas]

Second hand*

[proper gull]

You literally can't buy any new GPU for $150

[tidal geyser]

a310 or a380

[strange atlas]

Oh i was talking about logitech headphones not the ones i have sent

[strange atlas]

not new i was talking about like 1080ti and all

[tidal geyser]

does not even have tensor cores

[proper gull]

Can't compare new headphones to a used 7 year old gpu

[strange atlas]

okay rx 6600xt

[tidal geyser]

i would call that modern day low end

also comparing used vs new

[strange atlas]

thats right

But still it feels so much to pay 235 dollars for headphone maybe i'm too poor for it i dont know

[random gyro]

sony xm6 is more like 500

235 is on the cheaper end

[strange atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-coma-wriogifs-gif-4586647766923608943

[strange atlas]

just checked it looks hella nice

[tidal geyser]

and then you look hi-fi

[random gyro]

too expensive

[fallen sky]

Alr wtf my screws arent screwing

[strange atlas]

2000 god damn

even 3500 dollar one wtf

[tidal geyser]

that is more like it but still cheaper ish
