[strange atlas]

Evven 7213 dollar headphone

What even is this for

[tidal geyser]

yea 5k is about where the high end is

ofc can always go higher but you do not really gain a MASSIVE amount there

[mint umbra]

my cell service got canclled cuz im on 3g

[strange atlas]

i still play my guitar without headphones

[tidal geyser]

why

[mint umbra]

3g is being phased out

[tidal geyser]

no i mean why are you on 3g

[mint umbra]

cuz its cheap

[tidal geyser]

i know it has been for like 5 years

[tidal geyser]

for a reason

[mint umbra]

if aint broke why fix it

[tidal geyser]

well that is the issue

[mint umbra]

before now ive had no reason to have 5g

[tidal geyser]

once it breaks its harder to ger replacement and not a lot of people like 3g

[warm sage]

why does my taskbar show up on full screen videos on windows 11

[mint umbra]

you dont need gigabit internet for ur phone

when out and about

so see no point

untill now

also I have to get new phone

[tidal geyser]

its not gigabit nither is 5g most of the time

3g is also more like megabit internet

[mint umbra]

my servoce provider doesnt support 5g network with one plus

last time I get a chinese phone

[tidal geyser]

what phone

[mint umbra]

one plus 13

think its not supported here due to potenial security risk

[azure topaz]

some program is making windows mad and wont go fully full screen

[warm sage]

all i have open is 7zip and notepad

[tidal geyser]

close em

[warm sage]

is this something windhawk might be causing

[fallen sky]

None of my screws are going into the standoffs what the fuck is this

[azure topaz]

bro idk , fafo

[random junco]

motherboard?

[azure topaz]

im 93% sure that what i told you is right but you can figure out which program it is cause a ton do that

[fallen sky]

Asus b650

[azure topaz]

what even is windhawk

[warm sage]

makes stuff look nice

[azure topaz]

wack

[warm sage]

surprisingly it didnt fix anything

[azure topaz]

might be 7 zip or a random service running in the background

or a genuine issue that isnt what i said but idk ive never had that happen without the former

[warm sage]

im pretty sure it's happened before while doing absolutely nothing

yeah it is

it's definitely nothing an application is causing

[vapid onyx]

uhm i won't get any warranty from powercolor cause the man who's selling it isn't a local reseller

[lethal bay]

I didn’t see the first E in that cards name at first and was super confused

[vapid onyx]

that's how new gpu names are made

[tidal geyser]

eh??

[tidal geyser]

you do understand all electronics sold in the EU have a 2 year warranty?

[tidal geyser]

uhm amazon is that?

[vapid onyx]

yeah but GroovetoS.R.L isn't a powercolor local reseller

[tidal geyser]

amazon is

[vapid onyx]

yeah but is not sold by amazon

[tidal geyser]

its sold ON amazon

[hasty warren]

i just thought why dont I break the end of the tiny pcie port so it can hold the big pcie gpu since the big pcie port is dead

[tidal geyser]

what??

[trim gyro]

sounds like a great idea

what could possibly go wrong

[hasty warren]

It's like putting nail polish on the rest of the pins while contacting only the first few pins
But in reverse

[vapid onyx]

amazon is a seller

[hasty warren]

By small I mean pcie x1

[vapid onyx]

amazon prime gpu's are sold by amazon

[tidal geyser]

just email powercolor if you are so scared

[robust trail]

You can do that @hasty warren but I would... caution. If you're talkinga bout removing the mechanical slot blocker thing

I would suggest a dremel over another else. I have done it more than I care to admit

dont blame me if you murder your board

[hasty warren]

https://www.amazon.in/StarTech-Express-Profile-Extension-Adapter/dp/B0039XPS5W#

It's like this

But without it lol, just DIY break the end and slot the big card into the little poor guy

[tidal geyser]

nobody has yet confirmed if he knows if the lower slot even works

[robust trail]

right, I would test with that first. That's a more sane thing to do

[tidal geyser]

or if the top slot even is the problem

[warm sage]

if you ever figure it out I made a thread in #1027757333117415424

[hasty warren]

That costs like the whole PC case

Oh nvm the currency is wrong

[mint umbra]

canada service providers sucks so much

70 dollars a month for 100gb

[hasty warren]

Yea

[hasty warren]

wtf

At what speed

[frosty oriole]

That's better than what I'm getting.

[tidal geyser]

how do you know only the top slot is the problem not the gpu or anything else?

[hasty warren]

it could be anything. since I won't get another gpu for this old pc, trying with what I got just to see was an idea

[tidal geyser]

what motherboard

[robust trail]

you can always stuff a cheap any gen pcie device if you're troubleshooting a slot

[tidal geyser]

marky anything cool i should grab from aliexpress while im at it

[robust trail]

bouncy balls

[hasty warren]

hmm lemme recheck

[tidal geyser]

ï already have one

[robust trail]

just one?

[tidal geyser]

i do not have a lot of spce

[robust trail]

fair

[carmine light]

hows the recording quality it was recorded on my floppy disk camera

[gloomy sleet]

GARY keycaps

[gloomy sleet]

looks like reconstructed ww2 footage

[magic ivy]

Cleaned me my now it doesn't turn on can someone help 🫠

[gloomy sleet]

your what

[magic ivy]

Pc

[gloomy sleet]

oh

[tidal geyser]

Cleaned me my

[gloomy sleet]

do you have debug LEDs

[magic ivy]

I can go on call

[tidal geyser]

what did you clean

[magic ivy]

Nah it's old

[gloomy sleet]

send pic of insides

[magic ivy]

Stfup bro ur so ah come to greece 1v1

[tidal geyser]

old computers have em 😐

[gloomy sleet]

also make sure you cleaned all liquids off

[tidal geyser]

what???

[gloomy sleet]

and flicked on the power switch

[elder quarry]

Huh?

[tidal geyser]

this is a before pic right?

also not old

[hasty warren]

Damn that guy has no model on the board but it's an intel board that runs i7-3770

[gloomy sleet]

send pic of the right side of the board to the right of the ram

i think that does have debug leds

[tidal geyser]

send a pic after you cleaned it

[tidal geyser]

push the bottom of the right ram stick

[gloomy sleet]

yeah i don’t think those are in

[tidal geyser]

that one

[magic ivy]

Did

[gloomy sleet]

record a video of the insides of the pc when you press the power button

[tidal geyser]

now turn it on

[magic ivy]

Nothing lights

[tidal geyser]

the psu is not on 😐

[gloomy sleet]

psu isn’t on

or the power button isn’t wired up

[tidal geyser]

if not then you managed to drag these cables out

[magic ivy]

Ok I open the back?

[tidal geyser]

just shove em back in

[magic ivy]

They are in

[tidal geyser]

why

[tidal geyser]

put them in harder

[magic ivy]

They are in

[tidal geyser]

try now

[gloomy sleet]

if that doesn’t work take them out and put a screwdriver in between them to short them

[magic ivy]

Still

[tidal geyser]

unplug and plug it back in

also clean your pc man its disgusting

welp need new parts anyways since it just up and died for no reason

[robust trail]

watching NVIDIA market cap at 4T

[fallen sky]

The audio header is being a bitch

[magic ivy]

Can you zoom out

[robust trail]

and it dropping to 3.999 and back to 4

[magic ivy]

I'm not sure I'm in the right cables 🤭

[elder quarry]

Dude

[tidal geyser]

how much is your nvidia stock worth now

[robust trail]

Almost fuck you money but not quite there yet

[tidal geyser]

take a pic of where you think you are

[gloomy sleet]

what are you buying first

[robust trail]

My wife knows I'm getting a lambo when/if we hit $200

[tidal geyser]

ye sthose

[fallen sky]

Is this fine

Can’t go in any more so

[tidal geyser]

yes

[robust trail]

$1.7M, sim

[tidal geyser]

jesus

[fallen sky]

Aright we have a rich guy here

[tidal geyser]

my bank account was at minus last month

[robust trail]

Mine was minus for 20 years

[magic ivy]

Now?

[fallen sky]

fun fact- debt is actually good

[tidal geyser]

why not

[trim gyro]

it's good for the bank

[magic ivy]

Maybe I unplug something from the back?

[tidal geyser]

when was the last time you opened the back?

[magic ivy]

Now just to clean the surface

[robust trail]

My wife is happy tho 🙂

[tidal geyser]

wat

[robust trail]

there goes the student loans for her masters!

[tidal geyser]

i just could not pay for school

well take a loan for it

[fallen sky]

What’s this thingymajig

[tidal geyser]

im even getting freeee money for living away from home to study in a city

[robust trail]

sata power, male

[tidal geyser]

sata power

[fallen sky]

[fallen sky]

I know where it all goes but I don’t know what they look like

[robust trail]

ride that moose son, I grew up in Maine, USA. It is required to learn how to ride a moose just in case Canada invades and we need calvary

[fallen sky]

can’t relate. I live in California

[agile stag]

1000 comments on every shake shack post telling them that not even buy one get one free will save them

[fallen sky]

What a lovely company plugging in all 5 case fans for me

[tidal geyser]

what case is that

[fallen sky]

Lancool 217

[trim gyro]

you might get sued for defamation

[fallen sky]

2x 170mm front fans, 2x 120mm bottom fans, and 1x 140mm rear fan

Less work for me 😀

[agile stag]

hmm interesting ok

i should argue this with ai sometime

id fw a workaround i think ceos deserve to feel bad about their work

ill see i gotta make millions first but like if i go crazy and get infinite money then some people may suffer

[magic ivy]

Didn't find a solution 😥

I'm coocked

[tidal geyser]

get rekt

[magic ivy]

I will donate u 1€ if u help me

[fallen sky]

Nevermind I do NOT know where it goes

[magic ivy]

Kofi

@tidal geyser

[fallen sky]

I plugged the only other sata cable in

As per the manual

[tidal geyser]

open the back and take a pic

[magic ivy]

Dm

[elder quarry]

Oh Denmark?

[tidal geyser]

no

[elder quarry]

Nice

[trim gyro]

good stuff

[magic ivy]

?

[tidal geyser]

dust

[magic ivy]

Ok will you help

[tidal geyser]

are you sure the socket you are using has power

[magic ivy]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/W-WmTENHgNg

[magic ivy]

While pressing the power button ;

[tidal geyser]

eh?

no that is what pressing the power button does

all you are doing with the screw driver is acting like the power button in case that died somehow

[magic ivy]

Ok so automatically if I put the screwdriver there it should open

[tidal geyser]

open?

[true stirrup]

The PC should start up when you do that

[buoyant bridge]

The.

[wheat torrent]

Is non matching RAM still a big issue with ddr5

[buoyant bridge]

It's the having more then one dimm per channel that's the major issue

[tidal geyser]

4 ram sticks in one consumer motherboard is still a major issue

[buoyant bridge]

Ironic thing. Most of the dust in this case builds up right in front of the hdds and doesn't go inside the rest of the case

[wheat torrent]

Is this the case?

[tidal geyser]

has been since it came out?

[wheat torrent]

Damn

[tidal geyser]

are you a gold fish as i swear i have already told you this plenty of times

[remote basin]

Is here someone who knows stuff about gaming monitors?

[tidal geyser]

rtings

[wheat torrent]

I know but

Is it that bad still

How big of a difference is it

[tidal geyser]

do you have new hardware

[tidal geyser]

20%+

[wheat torrent]

I want to upgrade to am5

[wheat torrent]

Bruh

[tidal geyser]

so just get 2 sticks of ram

like if 128GB is not enough for you just get a server

[quick stag]

i finally optimized my java server and this is em... unhinged.
tmux new-session -d -s mcserver '/home/chris/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/java -Xms12G -Xmx12G -XX:+UseZGC -XX:+ZGenerational -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch -XX:+UseStringDeduplication -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+AlwaysActAsServerClassMachine -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:-DontCompileHugeMethods -XX:MaxNodeLimit=240000 -XX:NodeLimitFudgeFactor=8000 -XX:+UseVectorCmov -XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem -XX:+UseFastUnorderedTimeStamps -XX:+UseCriticalJavaThreadPriority -XX:ThreadPriorityPolicy=1 -XX:AllocatePrefetchStyle=1 -XX:NmethodSweepActivity=1 -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=400M -XX:NonNMethodCodeHeapSize=12M -XX:ProfiledCodeHeapSize=194M -XX:NonProfiledCodeHeapSize=194M -jar server.jar nogui'

[wheat torrent]

I have a good deal on 2x16

[remote basin]

Yeah but they tested not enough, or not the one that im looking for, cause i want to make a good deal on the amazon deals

[wheat torrent]

But I need at least 48, I just planned to upgrade to 64

4x16

[tidal geyser]

so just get 2x32?????

[buoyant bridge]

Just get 2x24 or 2x32

[wheat torrent]

I mentioned I got a good deal on 2x16 😭

[tidal geyser]

no

[buoyant bridge]

it's usually cheaper to get 2x32 then 4x16 amyways

[tidal geyser]

is it 40$ per kit

[peak knot]

2x24gb and the 24gb kits OC like crazy on intel

[tidal geyser]

read up

he said he wants to go am5

[wheat torrent]

It costs me 260 USD to get 2x32

[tidal geyser]

country?

[zinc widget]

Any WiFi mfs here rn

[wheat torrent]

Rn the deal I got is 420 euro for ryzen 9 7900 and 2x16 6000 cl30 from a friend of mine

[tidal geyser]

wat

[tidal geyser]

horrible

[zinc widget]

Is the Killer ax1675i the same as the Intel Ax211?

[wheat torrent]

Moldova

[tidal geyser]

well kinda

the 7900 is just a 7600

but 2

[zinc widget]

Besides Killer’s stupid shit

[wheat torrent]

What's the problem

[tidal geyser]

the killer is the special one while the ax211 is just a basic card

[tidal geyser]

you can just get a 7700x or you know 7600 if you are mostly gaming and have as much or more fps

[wheat torrent]

1 hour of gaming per year

👍

[zinc widget]

But is it the same chip. I know the ax1675 is, but I don’t know if the ax1675i is the same.

[tidal geyser]

its not really the same chip but why is that so important

[tidal geyser]

get a 9950X

na but then i guess the 7900X might not be the worst

[zinc widget]

Cuz my Bluetooth is busted on the killer chip and I have an ax211 laying around and I don’t wanna put a worse wifi chip in it

[wheat torrent]

I ain't paying 900 dollars for a CPU

[raven scroll]

Guys this might be a stupid question but

How do I know the gpu is a bottleneck and not just working hard

[wheat torrent]

That's insanity

900 dollars for what

[true stirrup]

Specs?

[wheat torrent]

Double the price for 20% more performance

[raven scroll]

Okay fair enough

[sleek ibex]

[wheat torrent]

Triple the price

[tidal geyser]

why not just put it in its not like the laptop is glued together

[true stirrup]

Also the GPU can never "bottleneck" a CPU
The CPU will work as fast as it can regardless of the GPU
The GPU will just affect your performance itself

[zinc widget]

Because it’s not a laptop. It’s a desktop (and because it doesn’t arrive till Friday.) my homelab motherboard I ordered has one and I have no need for Bluetooth + wifi in that.

[tidal geyser]

just try it when you get it

[ocean axle]

it absolutely can, but that is also generally the desired situation

saying that you are "gpu bottlenecked" is a technically correct thing to say when the limiting factor is the GPU

[fallen sky]

Well shit I don’t see the front panel header

[raven scroll]

Bro ain’t no way I got banned from rog server for shit talking their overpriced case

How was that a rule

Ts pmo

Just look at this shit

It’s $500

[zinc widget]

It’s more just the motherboard with the killer has a bunch more buzzwords (that I’m pretty sure are bullshit) Intel Ark has the ax1675i, ax1675s, and ax1675 on the same page with no differences.

[random junco]

what the hell

the case is $500?

[true stirrup]

If that is the definition they are referring to sure
But there have been so many people here thinking a bad GPU will slow down the CPU overall that you can't even know anymore

[random junco]

literally the price of my pc and it looks worse asw

[raven scroll]

That’s what I’m saying

[random junco]

atleast they bothered giving a fan

which is surprising

[tidal geyser]

it just uses a m.2 wifi slot, its RARE for a pc not to support a different wifi chip

[raven scroll]

And I’m pretty sure the mods got mad that I was being honest

[ocean axle]

wdym "slow down the CPU overall"?

[zinc widget]

Well I remember for a period some intel wifi chips were locked to Intel. My new server motherboard is core ultra whereas my main desktop with the busted chip is Ryzen.

[ocean axle]

like, people thinking that using a worse GPU will also make their CPU worse?

[true stirrup]

Exactly

[ocean axle]

what in the fuckith?

[tidal geyser]

just give it a try

[zinc widget]

I mean, if I put a Vega 64 in a pc instead of a 3060 it’ll make the cpu perform worse because that gpu puts out a shitload of heat.

[zinc widget]

Fair I just gotta take like the whole damn motherboard apart cuz it’s a Taichi and has armor and shit.

[raven scroll]

Looks like someone took a couple of bites out of this

[robust trail]

Exhaust the heat, the CPU won't be bothered. You need to really pressure cook a case for the GPU to cause meaningful CPU throttling

y u no IP address, NAS?

[true stirrup]

This mostly originates from ZTT, his comment section and YouTubers/tiktokers trying to mimic him
They all talk about "pairing a specific GPU and CPU together" and now people watching those videos and reading the comment section think that if one of those lacks in performance it will just slow down literally everything

[robust trail]

tiktok is the new /b/

garbage bag

[sleek ibex]

I don't even keep up with what goes on in TT

[south arrow]

I only fallow ltt some, nvidia, some amd stoof, war news to stay up to date, manufacturing changes to big tech like chip factories etc and the occasional brain rot video of a guy just doing something neat

If im in the right mood solder/repair videos are fun but just depends

[zinc widget]

I use TikTok for shitposts

It’s got some funny shit if you tune your algorithm

[south arrow]

Well that escalated quickly

[sleek ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/southpark-eyepatch-que-gif-7526801

[south arrow]

Lol but whatever makes the turkey purkey ya know

[zinc widget]

Have you ever played Ume Musume Pretty Derby with your life on the line?

[thorny saddle]

ZTT should be illegal

[true stirrup]

Agreed

[south arrow]

I have not

Buttt how does a hotdog survive in the wild with no eyes!?

[sleek ibex]

Him shitting on the north is a war crime

Also charging $500 for a parts list

[south arrow]

Ive only seen like 2 of his shorts seems like he means well enough

Buttt havent looked into him enough to know if its him, or the people watching him. I do get alot of ztt folk wandering in here with silly questions but such is the circle

[sleek ibex]

Like what Jufus does for his OC 'consultations' of unsafe volatges

[south arrow]

I mean if somone paid me even $250

Id probs never do it for free again

[trim gyro]

you'll get no customers

[south arrow]

I help tons of peeps out of the goodness

Worlds hard enough I dont like to see others struggle

[ivory mountain]

Is anyone else’s windows making the boot sound but taking another 10-15 seconds to show or is it just me

Happened after most recent update

[south arrow]

Hrmmm cant say I've noticed

[ivory mountain]

Strange, might be because I just reset windows yesterday

[random junco]

i would know if i ever actually turned my computer off so that i could turn it on

people complaining about boot times... just leave it on!

[latent gull]

Windows will still fuck it

[south arrow]

Auto updates and bsod in yo sleep

Jokes that'd be unfortunate

[hollow sorrel]

Should I go for a 3 fan GPU over a 2 fan GPU? How much does it matter

[tidal geyser]

dis is gonna be fun

[hollow sorrel]

Like will I have any problems if I just buy the cheapest model of the GPU I want?

[ivory mountain]

nah i just press shut down

[tidal geyser]

probs not

[hollow sorrel]

It's an MSI Ventus 2x OC

[tidal geyser]

nice

[hollow sorrel]

Doesn't look too bad either

But it looks like it's on sale rn so I might not get it for that price when I've saved up enough

I might just get a founders edition 5070 actually

[quartz mirage]

Is this the rigjt channel to see how much my build would be worth?

[fringe prairie]

cooling is kinda shit on ventus but it works

[hollow sorrel]

I'm not married to this one tbh. Like I say the FE card looks nice

[true stirrup]

Sure

[frosty oriole]

Yoo, PSN avatar. Nice.

[fallen sky]

My god I’m a genius

(I didn’t know where to put it for the last 2 hours)

[quartz mirage]

So im selling my pc because im going into some millitary training this month for 3 months. Ive been looking

[quartz mirage]

Would 1700 Canadian sound reasonavle?

Or less? A 3060 pc alone here sells for 1400 1500

[fallen sky]

Blud fr used chat gpt

[quartz mirage]

Yea its because im french and chatgpt translated it in english

[trim gyro]

1700 too much

oh monitor included

[true stirrup]

Try listing it for that

You can always lower it later

[quartz mirage]

Yes, 2 monitors with dual arm, a chair with mouse keyboard and a big 3xxl mouse pad.

[quartz mirage]

Yea i wrote testing market just too see. I think 1600 would be a good middle because i see some bad cpu with 3070 and random psu at 14-1500 where I live

[plain cypress]

It's worth more in french

[trim gyro]

1600 good

[quartz mirage]

Alrigjt Ill try 1700 and see if some guys lowers it to 1500. Thanks guys

[trim gyro]

Make sure the mouse pad is clean. Drag your finger nail across the mat, and if it leaves any white marks, it's dirty

[tidal geyser]

XD

[quartz mirage]

I clean my pc and everything every time before I play. Its godly clean

[tidal geyser]

those prices are insane

[quartz mirage]

Its what I base off my market place near me. A 3060 with like a ryzen 5 is sold around 1300

[tidal geyser]

not sold

[quartz mirage]

Pc market is fucked in quebec. But your rigjt I lowered it to 1600. For a full setup with 2 screens keyboard and all should be ok i guess. And in expecting to sell it at around 1400 1500

[quartz mirage]

4070ti average price is 950 used. And like 1200 with taxes new pc market sucks

[tidal geyser]

5060 ti is about a 3080 but the 5060 ti also gets FG AND MFG

the 5700X3D is more so a 7500f in terms of performance and so on

modern tech is modern

[quartz mirage]

Yea but theres not a lot of builds qith 5060ti here. And not a lot of stocks. With the 15% taxes more we get its better to buy used

Ill expect it to sell at 1400

[trim gyro]

I think 1600-1700 is good

some people might ask for just the PC or just the monitor though

[quartz mirage]

I lowered the price to 1600. And yea if they are onky asking for one or the other its fine. Ill just give tje rest to my friend

[swift kestrel]

Hahhaha gaming laptop batteries

[trim gyro]

for pc 1400
the good monitor 150-200

[plain cypress]

Not bad

[swift kestrel]

For a 6 year old acer laptop ye why not

[trim gyro]

the time estimate is never correct

I drain 30% in like 2 hours

[swift kestrel]

Its takes around 4 minutes for 1% to go

[quartz mirage]

Thanks. I think its good price with the char and mouse and everything but a table yea

[fallen sky]

Tried my best to hide the cables 💔💔

[sharp ivy]

That's decent

[sharp ivy]

How's your build going?

[fallen sky]

I just need the psu and do some cable wizardry

[sharp ivy]

Ah but decent?

[fallen sky]

It’s arriving in a few hours

Yeah

[sharp ivy]

did you solve the issue with the standoffs

[remote basin]

Guys i'm planning to buy a new monitor. Sometimes they talk about 16,7 mio colors or 1,07 brd colors, does this matter for me?

[fallen sky]

What was the problem again

[fallen sky]

Tf is mio and brd

[sharp ivy]

#tech-chat-1 message

[remote basin]

Million and billion

[fallen sky]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh

[random gyro]

Well that's a first

[remote basin]

Yeah sry thats how we shorten it

[fallen sky]

yeah I forgot to open another bag of screws

But it’s fixed

[fallen sky]

Never heard of it

people talk about billions/millions of colors*

i just go off of size, resolution, refresh rate, and panel type

[remote basin]

Yeah but will i see a difference?

[split laurel]

Do new bios versions fix the instability issues on Intel cpus im thinking of upgrading my 12600k to a 13900k

[remote basin]

Everything else is the same

[azure topaz]

yeah

[remote basin]

12€ price difference

[azure topaz]

weird upgrade though, id just wait a while for next generation(s) to come out

[fallen sky]

depends on the panel I guess

[remote basin]

Both ips

[azure topaz]

from either amd or intel

[fallen sky]

i don’t know much about monitors

[split laurel]

Well i don't really want to buy a new mobo and ram lol

[remote basin]

Alright bur thanks

[split laurel]

And a 13900k will be plenty

[azure topaz]

in my opinion this is a terrible argument

[fallen sky]

but i meannnnnn if it’s only 12 more then u should just get it

[azure topaz]

"I dont want to properly spend my money accordingly and actually get a worthwhile upgrade"

12600k to 13900k is pretty big, even in games, but i dont think its worth 350$ or however much the 13900k is right now

[split laurel]

Its about that yeah

[azure topaz]

yes thats pretty insane

[remote basin]

Yeah probably but the "cheaper" one has more reviews etc

[azure topaz]

it is a good cpu ( i have one) but the 12600k can 100% hold you off for another year or something while you save up more money and wait for something worthwhile like zen6 or NVL

[fallen sky]

Shi talk about an upgrade- I’m using an r5 9600x, I had an i5 12600k before

[azure topaz]

also weird

im not shit talking your upgrades im just saying that to me they werent the best choices 😭 do whatever you want truly im just giving my 2 cents since you asked in a public discord

[split laurel]

Right I've been seeing cpu bottlenecks with my 9070xt in one of my favorite games squad44

[azure topaz]

what frame rate?

[split laurel]

50 to 60fps

1440p ultra

[fallen sky]

Buddy you don’t understand modern day messages. Re-read it

Just read it without the first word

[azure topaz]

bro i thought you were phrasing it "shit talking about an upgrade"

[fallen sky]

no

[azure topaz]

no reason to flame me for misreading something

[fallen sky]

I’m not, just sayin

[azure topaz]

"you dont undestand modern day messages" is pretty mean man 😭

[fallen sky]

I’ll flame Amazon for the stupendous delivery time tho

[azure topaz]

fair

[fallen sky]

I’m using prime btw

[azure topaz]

opposite for me amazon is usually awesome

but thats cause i live not that far from cali so

[fallen sky]

This case is awesome :D

I love the magnetic panels

And fans

[azure topaz]

wut case

i have a 4000D. its old and currently it houses a teeny tiny ITX motherboard

[fallen sky]

Lancool 217

[trim gyro]

I try to not order near holidays or prime day to reduce the amount of packages ppl have to deliver

usually not in a rush anyways

[fallen sky]

:D

[odd marsh]

make them work. make them suffer.

All hail the Bezos corporation!

/s

[split laurel]

I also have a 4000d its peak

[azure topaz]

very nice

[tall flower]

Smol boi

[azure topaz]

i am currently working in the server room on a surface laptop

because thats the coldest spot in the office

[odd marsh]

"working"

[trim gyro]

I need three hands to open the front of my PC case

[azure topaz]

HEY all i have to do for basically the next month is remote into users machines and start windows 11 update process

and then confirm with the user that everything is good

everything im doing for the next bit can fr be done on a surface while i sit in the server room

[cyan latch]

asnyone have a media player that doesnt look dated and has a lot of codec support?

[azure topaz]

VLC?

[tall flower]

Yeah VLC is the gold standard

[azure topaz]

the looks of your media player are irrelevant. but there are themes im pretty sure

[cyan latch]

ahh ok

[plain cypress]

Why

[upper abyss]

guys i think NVIDIA is automatically enabling DSR or something which makes my games render at 4k instead of 1440p, how do i stop that shit? (except just playing in windowed mode)

[azure topaz]

what one

[trim gyro]

it's either VLC or MPC

[odd marsh]

i don't think there is a single (good) media player that does not look dated

[odd marsh]

Pot Player my goat

[azure topaz]

turn off DSR first of all, and then disable "automatically optimise games" in nvidia app or whatever

[plain cypress]

Media players are cringe
Media servers are epic

[azure topaz]

kodi?

[plain cypress]

Set up jellyfin

[azure topaz]

idk if kodi is still around tbh

is kodi even a media player or does it rely on other software to do so

[trim gyro]

excuse me this is modern

[odd marsh]

Easiest way to do this imo would be to just reinstall fresh drivers in the nvidia app

[plain cypress]

Why is 4000D old
Why mini itx in atx

[azure topaz]

i didnt live in the era of media devices

[odd marsh]

yeah it is, but there's better options

[azure topaz]

4000D is indeed old. Z790i Edge was the quickest board to get here that checked every box

[upper abyss]

the second one i think i did now, but idk how to disable DSR

[azure topaz]

nvidia control panel

somewhere in there

[odd marsh]

Can you use Kodia as a standalone player in windows?

[azure topaz]

its called DSR so you wont have a tough time seeing it

[plain cypress]

4000D isn't even 5 yet 💀

[upper abyss]

gray tho

[azure topaz]

GERMAN

[upper abyss]

yuh

[azure topaz]

uh weird. is it cause its selected in windows maybe?

[upper abyss]

also here i cant even turn that shit off either

global

[azure topaz]

almost 5 years old is pretty old in computer worlds

[upper abyss]

mmm shouldnt be but ill look

[azure topaz]

buddy almost 5 years ago i was 13 or 14

[azure topaz]

yeah here. the actual control panel^^

[odd marsh]

Or just do this

[plain cypress]

This server should really be for 25+

[odd marsh]

ok frick you man

[azure topaz]

💀 the nuclear option

[azure topaz]

yeah for real frick you buddy

[odd marsh]

my mom lets me stay up to 10pm some nights I am practically an adult

[azure topaz]

SEE?

[plain cypress]

Do people not clean install every time?

[azure topaz]

i dont

[plain cypress]

Cringe

[odd marsh]

honestly the easiest way imo

[plain cypress]

I always use clean installation when it's available

[odd marsh]

i also don't

[azure topaz]

specific nvcp settings

i am not clicking through that god awful application more than required

[upper abyss]

dont see an off option there

[odd marsh]

clean install time

I said it from the beginning

[azure topaz]

its ovr

this is true

[azure topaz]

i use NV clean install to only install what i want, we are not the same

[split laurel]

Would my $60 240mm aio even cool a 13900k if im just gaming?

[azure topaz]

yes

[upper abyss]

as soon as i get a dumbahh nvidia GPU i start having issues smh🥀
ngl im not doing allat, who uses exclusive fullscreen mode anyways?

[odd marsh]

@drifting aspen what do you want

[vale reef]

steam is kill

[azure topaz]

to sell you crypto

[split laurel]

Just not under full load im guessing

[upper abyss]

@drifting aspen stop

[odd marsh]

dude it takes like 3 minutes

[azure topaz]

i mean maybe at the 253w pl

idk what does a 240mm reliably cool on average wattage wise

[upper abyss]

3 minutes too much for a feature ion use 🥀 ill remember it though for when it pisses me off

[split laurel]

Uhh probably like 250w

[odd marsh]

or just do it now man

[split laurel]

I think

[upper abyss]

ughh fine

[upper abyss]

do i need to use DDU again? no right

[azure topaz]

i mean like theres ways to make it work regardless but yes

itll 100% work for games idk about full load

if you do full load stuff in the future buy a diff cooler or fuck with the bios

[odd marsh]

nah just click the buttons I have clicked and it will just revert all your nvidia settings back to default

[upper abyss]

wait did you do it in the app or with the driver exe

[odd marsh]

Custom Installation then clean installation

App

[upper abyss]

aint ts the same

[odd marsh]

yeah that'll do the same

I just did the nvidia app cause I thought you would have that

[upper abyss]

ngl im genuinly saddened by DLSS

[upper abyss]

i do but im special

[odd marsh]

what games have you played with DLSS

[tall flower]

Most anything but a top-of-the-line chip

[upper abyss]

cp with transformer and allat

[odd marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/cyberpunk-abbreviation-cyberpunk-gif-27287291

[upper abyss]

jesus my monitor looks shit without driver adjustments

gang this has got to be ragebait

ah

i just had to do "back to factory settings"

typa stuff

i may even know what stupid ahh application caused this

[odd marsh]

the one Guilty told you not to use right

[upper abyss]

mhm

[odd marsh]

shocker lol

well glad you fixed it

[upper abyss]

yuh

[fallen sky]

Hurry. Up. Now.

[swift moss]

@peak knot rate da psu lol

[upper abyss]

any of this stuff worth it? (you prolly cant read allat)

the video nvidia thingies

was actually worth the driver reinstall

overlay didnt work before

do i have to turn off the overlay? heard its ew because it takes performance to clip stuff

[swift moss]

voltage a lil high but oh well ig thats what we got resistors for :D

[azure topaz]

thats not a number

[fallen sky]

Oooh this case has GPU or cpu cooling priority modes

Holy shit

[azure topaz]

a top of the line chip can range a pretty large swing of watts

[peak knot]

why are you using 4x discreet diodes instead of a proper FBR

[azure topaz]

i think danny has accidentally taught me more about pcb design than anything else ive picked that up from

[native basalt]

yo does anyone know if theres anything u can install or somthin that can like make u be able to do more volume then windows normally allows?

[fallen sky]

Look what just arriveddddd

[azure topaz]

what

[native basalt]

like

[azure topaz]

does bro have 900 partitions

[native basalt]

i want my stuff to be louder

but windows cant go louder so like

[swift moss]

easier because the 1n4007 can handle 400v and 1A

[azure topaz]

ohhh like sound idk why i thought storage

[native basalt]

is there somthin i could install that would make stuff louder

[swift moss]

harder to find a similarly sized rectifier that does the same

[azure topaz]

herm

probably not i dont think

[swift moss]

although i would love a lil less forward voltage, 323V is a lil extreme

[native basalt]

damn :(

that sucks thanks tho!

[azure topaz]

google around to be sure

[swift moss]

i need 275 ideally

[fallen sky]

Corsair’s packaging is AWFUL

[native basalt]

yeah thats what im doing

[azure topaz]

i used a random chrome extensoin one time if my memory serves me right but i dont think it sounded good

[fallen sky]

The presentation aspect*

[azure topaz]

which is why i just said naw

[fallen sky]

They just shoved the cables and psu between cardboard and called it a day

[native basalt]

there is a good extension but im trying to make other stuff louder thats not in like my web browser

[native basalt]

aye man it works

[tall flower]

Anything in the 95w tdp class or below

[azure topaz]

i

thats wrong

i dont know the average number a 240mm can cool but its a lot more than 95 or even 150

[tall flower]

So what you're saying is you know the answer to the question you asked?

[azure topaz]

nope i clarified

[tall flower]

95 being the nominal rating given by the manufacturer. A 95w chip can draw up to 140-160 in bursts.

[native basalt]

guys air coolers are better trust

[azure topaz]

why are you giving me tdp classes i want just the watts

im curious enough now im going to googl

[tall flower]

Because that's how we generally measure chip power draw?

[covert torrent]

I'm looking for a new cooler for my 7600x, what should i look into ( aio & air )

[native basalt]

AIR

[azure topaz]

never in my life have i said my chip is drawing 95w while its drawing 200w in the real world

[tall flower]

Are you familiar with audio stuff at all? It's similar to RMS/Peak output

[azure topaz]

BRO

i dont care how the manu specs it thats not what im talking about

[native basalt]

air is better cause cheaper

[azure topaz]

i literally want the watts just that

[tall flower]

What chip

[azure topaz]

average watts cooled

[native basalt]

unless u wanna ball out and spend 200 for no reason then u can go with aio

[covert torrent]

I'm not exactly constrained by my budget that much

i can spend a bit

[azure topaz]

what can you generally expect a 240mm aio to cool as a ball park

[ivory mountain]

uhh the best cooling aio on the market temp wise is $85, my deepcool mystique 360 with a screen was $100

[azure topaz]

ex: 200w or something

[native basalt]

really?? i thought they were more expensive

[azure topaz]

im not going to say my 9600x is a 95w chip if its drawing 150 in cinebench

[ivory mountain]

stop saying fuckass statements and do research then

[azure topaz]

(i tink the 9600x is actually listed as 65 or maybe 88)

[native basalt]

well anyways Nazarin u can get like a 30 dollar air cooler and it could cool that well

[tall flower]

200w sustained over long periods of time? No. The whole point of water cooling is it acts as a thermal buffer.

[native basalt]

bro what is your issue lmao its not that serious

[ivory mountain]

im just saying people like u are annoying just saying shit that isnt true 🥀

[azure topaz]

SURE I BELIEVE IT

[covert torrent]

i have an arctic freezer 36 but i wanna switch it out cause i'm having some issues with the fans and i wanted to upgrade to something else anyway

[native basalt]

bro i thought it was correct my bad gang

[azure topaz]

ill take 200w as a rough ballpark

[odd marsh]

on GNs website, they don't even test 250w with a 240 aio

[tall flower]

Well I said it would be good for anything rated at 95w or below so your 65w chip will be fine with a 240.

[azure topaz]

whats the highes they test?

[azure topaz]

that was an arbitrary comparison

[ivory mountain]

boiii 65w+2 = 67 watts boiii 🤣

[native basalt]

thermal right stuff is pretty good

i have the phantom spirt evo and its good

[azure topaz]

and a large amount of thermal mass? 😭

the point of a water cooler is that its more efficient at dissapating heat and very dense and able to soak up a lot of heat without changing temperature

[odd marsh]

he seems knowledgeable

[tall flower]

...And it does this by being a buffer that smooths out heat spikes.

[azure topaz]

yeah i mean if he works there ill call it good

[thorn pewter]

I would say the final verdict on this whole topic, unless you strongly oc or have flagship cpus, air coolers are what you have to go with, a good aircoooler can cool 220w which is beyond most people’s needs

[azure topaz]

that is also capable of absorbing a lot of heat without being mad

[cyan latch]

Windows has issues with ProRes, even VLC does, anyone have a fix?

[azure topaz]

i really dont feel like 200w is out of the question for a 240 cause my 280 does that more than comfortably even for extended periods

[covert torrent]

phantom spirit evo is actually massive

[ivory mountain]

i reinstalled w11 and it has a 30 second delay between the boot chime and the lock screen popping up 😭🙏

[covert torrent]

might not clear my ram honestly

[trim gyro]

if VLC can't do it, I don't know what can

[azure topaz]

yes a 280 is bigger than a 240 but being at like 80c at 200w on a 280 must mean a 240 will be fine at 200w but closer to the bad 95c number

[cyan latch]

damn

[thorn pewter]

Bigger isnt always better Floppa

[native basalt]

oh well u could get somthin smaller

[odd marsh]

https://www.reddit.com/r/editors/comments/mcszq7/comment/gshvhyf/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

[covert torrent]

and it's actually more expensive than like a 240mm aio

[native basalt]

basically as long as your not using a stock cooler it will cool your cpu

[azure topaz]

a bigger rad is going to have more surface area and more thermal mass, making the equilibrium temp lower. your logic semi seems like a bigger rad wont reduce the equilibrium temp

[native basalt]

it is?? im looking at one thats 60 bucks

[azure topaz]

more that it would just take longer to get there perhaps

[covert torrent]

i'm not us based and for me it's like 90 euro

and it's the last product in stock

[native basalt]

ah okay

Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO

[azure topaz]

pointless debates are my favorite if you think youre putting in too much effort for this convo that is fine

[native basalt]

that ones good

[azure topaz]

i just like talking and putting the brain to work

[native basalt]

idk if thats the one u were looking at or not tho

Smarty pants

[native basalt]

floppa def put his glasses on when he typed that

and did the middle finger push up after for the cool factor

[azure topaz]

i don’t wear glasses i just like talking and really thinking with as much as i have

[covert torrent]

still won't clear my ram

[thorn pewter]

Oh no he’s right, ur full of shit but I had to put that out there lol

[cyan latch]

Nvm Found My Issue

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

[azure topaz]

idk very much about thermodynamics and the best way to learn is to be told i’m an idiot

[odd marsh]

that'll do it

[native basalt]

bro what

[tall flower]

@azure topaz I'm pretty sure you're just trolling at this point but you are aware your CPU is not drawing a constant 200w whenever it's powered on, right? It's not even gonna draw that in-game, cinebench is an artificial load designed to max out CPU use.

[odd marsh]

yes

[grizzled frost]

thermodynamics is common sense

[native basalt]

bro u got some big booty ram then

[thorn pewter]

What do you mean what

[tall flower]

In that case, you're an idiot. A 240mm rad will cool your CPU.

[azure topaz]

of course a cpu is not drawing 200w constantly. that’s not what i asked

[native basalt]

get a AIO at that point idk

[azure topaz]

the context of the situation was

[native basalt]

idk why u said im full of shit lol im confused

[covert torrent]

nah it's just the case doesn't really pair well with bigger tower coolers

[azure topaz]

“will my 240 aio cool my 13900k in games”

[odd marsh]

why wouldn't I get something that could cool my full CPU

[azure topaz]

i said yes. after that he said “i mean not full load”

[odd marsh]

what happens when I encounter shader compilation though in game

[covert torrent]

that's why i wanted an aio, basically guaranteed clearance & good cooling

[native basalt]

yeah then just get a AIO if its a small case

[azure topaz]

after that i said “maybe full load on the 253 profile, what’s the average a 240 can do”

[thorn pewter]

You spread miss information, simple

[azure topaz]

so in this scenario the cpu is constantly drawing 253w

[native basalt]

why are you being toxic rn man

[azure topaz]

and what i want to know is the average wattage it takes a 240 to raise idk 60 or 65c over ambient depending on ambient

and how much it can do at that wattage amount without hitting TJ max or thermal throttling temp on most chips, like 95c

[tall flower]

That's not something people just know offhand

[thorn pewter]

Pointing out someone who spreads misinformation isnt toxic lol

[native basalt]

bro u said i was full of shit for no reason

[azure topaz]

it’s something someone might know off hand given the place we’re conversing

[native basalt]

i wasnt even spreading misinformation in the thing u replied to

[tall flower]

That's why we use TDP classes. A 9600x will fine with a 240mm AIO

[native basalt]

the only time i said anything that was wrong was once and then i said my bad

dont be a meany man its not that serious

[azure topaz]

TDP classes tell you jack shit when the cpu is not running stock settings and you can’t assume that it is

[grizzled frost]

tdp sucks even on stock settings

[azure topaz]

yeah i’ll go get a 120w rated air cooler for my 13900K

the logic is flawed

[native basalt]

dosent a 13900k need like a 320 aio to be cooled like well? i dont know

[thorn pewter]

Put a stock cooler on it i wana see what happens es

[azure topaz]

we don’t recommend coolers based off tdp class, we just recommend them based on which ones review the best and are cheap

in that scenario it’s usually the PA120 which would probably be fine at 150 or maybe a little more watts

[native basalt]

water45 i hope u have a great day man dont be mean to people its not nice

[austere flint]

Do I need a heatsink if I'm installing another m.2 in my system

[native basalt]

wish you great things man

[azure topaz]

360, and it just depends on what you do like the green guy above was saying

[native basalt]

is it gen 5? if not then not really

[azure topaz]

if you’re not someone who fully loads their cpu option you don’t need as good of a cooler than someone who is

[native basalt]

oh okay thats what i thought

[fallen sky]

How would I hide this cable?

[azure topaz]

whhh

[fallen sky]

And why is there a cable in the first place

[azure topaz]

please put heatsinks on your gen 4 drive

it cares i promise

[native basalt]

u need to do that???

bro swear on my soul i saw a video saying that like it didnt matter

[azure topaz]

bro there’s been like 5 or 10 people who are like “my ssd is really hot what do i do”

random people here with ssds idling st like 65c

[native basalt]

ermm how do i check my ssd temps real quick 😭

[thorn pewter]

Me💔

[azure topaz]

it’s SSD to SSD (obviously based on power draw) but you can use HWINFO or Crystal Disk info

[native basalt]

okay pause

ok im using HWINFO theres so many numbers what am i supposed to be looking at

[azure topaz]

all i searched was ssd heatsink

[tall flower]

> claims not to be an expert
> Disputes all advice received

[azure topaz]

sensors only scroll way down

[thorny nexus]

What case is that

[austere flint]

Pcie 4.0

[fallen sky]

Lancool 217

[austere flint]

But I'm putting it in the place where it's under the gpu

[native basalt]

on this??

[limpid ivy]

Always has, only work around which is really annoying is just open a timeline in davinci/premire or any of the editors you use and view it there.

[azure topaz]

i’m using as much logic as possible here, you never claimed you were an expert either yo

i already said it

i am just talking. if you feel like you’ve spent too much time on the conversation you’re free to just stop talking

but fr nobody here has clicked on the 9700x and saw that it was rated for 88w or whatever and then recommended a random cooler to a user based off that

almost everyone says the same 4 options because they’re cheap and cool well

[native basalt]

wait floppa i found my ssd temps

[azure topaz]

that’s not sensors only

[native basalt]

my one that has a heatsink on it is hotter then my non heatsink one

[azure topaz]

i’m proud

[frigid blade]

Hi flopper

[native basalt]

which makes me confused cause that dosent sound right

[azure topaz]

could be many reasons for this if neither of them are throttling don’t worry

in the one with the heatsink the one that your OS is on?

[native basalt]

yeah

[azure topaz]

how much hotter is hotter

[native basalt]

no heatsink is 38 and heatsink one with os on it is 43

[azure topaz]

that’s a small enough difference that i’d just point it at one drive being idle and the other being utilized

or your heatsink interface isn’t good

there’s a bajillion possibilities but idk do a large file transfer on your no heatsink and it will probably throttle

or maybe not if it’s a nice/new(efficient) enough drive or isn’t very fast or something

[native basalt]

eh its kinda new i think

[azure topaz]

but generally i recommend putting ssd heatsinks on if you have the option

[native basalt]

i see

[azure topaz]

no reason to buy one if you don’t have issues with drive temps but i feel like most g4 drives prolly want one

[native basalt]

ohh okay that makes sense

ima do a big file transfer and see how hot she gets

[azure topaz]

i think even i came to chat once and was like “damn my ssd is hot” but i’m not searching for allat on mobile

because i had a g4 drive with no heatsink (i was just lazy and didn’t put it on i think) and ended up that way

i still do have the drive but you’d be dammed if you think i’m going to pull that out of an itx board for a random test

[native basalt]

this is the right area right?

[azure topaz]

yeah you can even see the critical thresholds

[native basalt]

ok

[azure topaz]

stuff like a game download through steam or epic or whatever might put more stress on the drive but most of the time you’re fine

a best practice scenario kinda

[native basalt]

this is it when i transfered stuff

it got to 87 now

[azure topaz]

yeah 63 is fine but it probably would throttle if it was a way larger trandfer

[native basalt]

88 now lol

oop now its at 90

[trim gyro]

90 is throttling

[azure topaz]

i’m not sure what that sensor is monitoring thi

[native basalt]

idk

its only drive temp 3 getting hot

[azure topaz]

i think the nand can get that hot but the controller can’t? it might be the reverse

[native basalt]

the other ones stayed in the 60s

[azure topaz]

google to be sure idk

90 is concerning to me either way lol

[native basalt]

Erm idk man

Why would only one get hot tho

Out of the three things

[azure topaz]

only lord floppa knows

[native basalt]

lol I guess

Well it’s probably okay I mean the ssd didn’t come with a heat sink when I bought it so 🤷

[trim gyro]

it'll slow itself down before it does any damage

[native basalt]

Alright

[fallen sky]

What the fuckington

[lethal bay]

Skill issue

Honestly two line up, send it

[fallen sky]

Uhhhhhh

[lethal bay]

What fuckass case is that tho so I never order it

[azure topaz]

he might just be missin somethin idk

[fallen sky]

I am most likely

[azure topaz]

is there like a slide in bracket

[fallen sky]

This case lets you angle your psu two ways

[fallen sky]

what would I look for

[azure topaz]

if the case came with that fancy cable its probably because the psu end wont be acccessible from the outside

but idk the case so who knows

[fallen sky]

lancool 217

[azure topaz]

flat piece of metal that looks similar to the part youre screwing the case into

but just that alone

[fallen sky]

I have it

[azure topaz]

screw psu into that then put that where psu is

si this is what the cable is for

[fallen sky]

Ye

[azure topaz]

[dapper dragon]

I would

[frigid hollow]

Dang

[fallen sky]

Yurrrr

[azure topaz]

hurrrayyy

[sleek ibex]

That feature on that Lancool case is actually really cool

[azure topaz]

yes it is i didnt know it existed till now

it makes everything an rmx shift

and does it make a shift a normal psu?

imagine buying a shift and then using it in that position in that case

[fallen sky]

now it’s time to do all the cables 🫩

[sleek ibex]

I have a shift unit in my Meshify 2 XL though with how that build is..... Yeah there was no way around that as I have some stuff mounted in the basement

[plush wren]

[azure topaz]

(bombs)

[fallen sky]

Should there be a click when I plug the motherboard power in

It just slid in without a click

[trim gyro]

there will be no click but it should latch on

[fallen sky]

Seems good

[azure topaz]

pickle

[fallen sky]

How’s the management looking so far?

Not done obviously

[lofty raft]

Neverendingstory

[fallen sky]

I assume it’s bad

[lofty raft]

Good luck with whining 😄

[fallen sky]

I’ll have my headset on so it doesn’t matter

[sleek ibex]

Looks better than how mine tends to be

[fallen sky]

What are these used for, any ideas?
