[lofty raft]

RGB controller?

[fallen sky]

Ah

[lofty raft]

Some times for AIO

[sleek ibex]

SATA Power, ARGB connection, and looks like a fan PWM connector for the fan controller that probably came with the case I'd reckon

[fallen sky]

There are 4 of these fuckers on the same cable, attached to a 3x2

[fallen sky]

time to figure where it all goes

[buoyant bridge]

is taking my whole PC apart to install reverse blade fans worth it

(my front fans are borderline impossible to get to)

[fallen sky]

Anything is possible if you have time

[lofty raft]

Front fans reversed make no sense

[buoyant bridge]

my case is sitting in a place where you cant see the front of it

I'm open side panel gang too

[lofty raft]

So you want to do outtake at the front?

[buoyant bridge]

no? I want the fans installed so that the front of them is facing the inside, airflow the same

This is how my case sits 😭

[sleek ibex]

Holy light show, Batman

[lofty raft]

Oh, i get it

[limpid ivy]

a whole christmas tree

[buoyant bridge]

might get an CPU cooler with a display too

[lofty raft]

Wild

[fallen sky]

@lofty raft I appreciate your input

[lofty raft]

You need one of those fuckers

[azure topaz]

ram fans. do you overclock.

show me your timings

[buoyant bridge]

Does nobody in this server have eyes

Those are because the front fans are obstructed from the CPU cooler

[plain cypress]

100-100-100-100-100

[azure topaz]

yeah my bad i’m supposed to know your temperature problems because i saw your computer

with how many other fucking fans you have i’d assume it would’ve been fine either way

[fallen sky]

Out of 4

Just 1

[azure topaz]

i’m thinking it’s more so because you just want a flashy looking computer

[plain cypress]

I can't see shit
It's like staring into the sun

[azure topaz]

which is fine but don’t lie to me that’s mean

[buoyant bridge]

I want to run my fans dead silent all time 😭

[azure topaz]

bro you have 40 of them

maybe have less if you want a silent computer

i have idk 6 case (ish) fans in my system and its perfecly quiet while maintaining good temps

i say ish cause 3 of those are on the aio

[lofty raft]

For the case (controller) i assume

[azure topaz]

low rpm, 800-1200 across the system

[lofty raft]

You can't see shit because of dark mode off 😉

[azure topaz]

ive got red mode on

[plain cypress]

Light mode is best

[azure topaz]

why

[plain cypress]

Contrast

[azure topaz]

youre purposely being less energy efficient how could you

[plain cypress]

Especially in bright lights

[azure topaz]

your screen is drawing maybe one more watt

[plain cypress]

It is easier to read

[azure topaz]

is it?

[plain cypress]

Yes

[azure topaz]

or is that just a game theory

naw im testing fafo rn

[plain cypress]

Dark text on light background is easier to read

[azure topaz]

yeah but im also being blinded

[plain cypress]

I use dark mode in bed

[dapper dragon]

What is wrong with you

[swift moss]

@peak knot how does the drawing expect me to put a 100 ohm resistor there? isnt the wattage rating on that CRAZY

[azure topaz]

i mean hes not wrong

also my pfp looks way better this way

[dapper dragon]

Mine is just a flash bang

[plain cypress]

Every day I pray my use of light mode causes someone here to lose their shit

[azure topaz]

skull

i miss red mode

back to normal

[ocean axle]

This varies person to person, for me the opposite is true

[azure topaz]

no no no anything he says is true

[trim gyro]

dark text on light background is indeed easier to read

[azure topaz]

idk i dont like being blinded by my display

[trim gyro]

but dark mode better for digital stuff except for word

[ocean axle]

Feel free to blind yourself, but is not universal either way

[trim gyro]

I don't want to write white text on dark paper in word

it feels wrong

[dapper dragon]

Too much contrast is eye straining for me

I have to raise the blacks on my monitor at times if the dark mode is just black

[mint umbra]

Why are phones so expensive now

[trim gyro]

you're probably looking at expensive phones

[azure topaz]

[solid crown]

yeah motorola has some cheap phones

[lofty raft]

They're not

[fallen sky]

Alright I plugged the sata power cable into one of the 4 thingys and then plugged that into the PSU

Bam that’s done

[solid crown]

what do you guys think about me powering my motherboard with a picopsu thats run on a 6 pin pcie cable

[lofty raft]

You only needed 45 min for that, respect

[fallen sky]

I was thinking of what to do with the other 2 cables

r/ELI5 please and thanks

[fallen sky]

hey now

[lofty raft]

Do it

[solid crown]

oh its already running I was just wondering if that was cursed

[solid crown]

had to do it so I could use an oem 400w platinum psu for my minecraft server

[halcyon lion]

So I've been having multiple VMs running using an RX 7900 XT. It's been working without issues so far, but just yesterday I've come across an issue where one of the VMs gets stuck on the Hyper-V loading screen, and by that I mean that the loading circle freezes and nothing happens. The other VMs I have running have been working fine. So I went to one of the other VMs and I have a warning symbold for the GPU under Device Manager, which I "fixed" by using the Easy-GPU-PV script to update GPU drivers. Now THAT VM isn't working 😮‍💨.

I used "Win + R" and then "eventvwr" to go take a look into the logs for "Hyper-V-VMMS" and I see an error saying that the operation can't be performed because it is assigned to one or more GPU partitions.

Has anyone came across this issue recently?

[delicate geode]

I need help bad. My monitor just turned off randomly and it won’t turn back on. It’s the MSI 360hz 1440p qdoled. I have had it since November and no issues till now I guess. Doesn’t seem like there is any power bc nothing will pop up at all. I have a second monitor and yes it’s porting and on… pls help

[solid crown]

did you try unplugging it, waiting 30 seconds, and plugging it back in

could also be in panel refresh which takes a couple hours

[delicate geode]

From power??

Just the outlet end would be fine right

[solid crown]

yes but dont do that until you confirm its not in panel refresh

[delicate geode]

How do I confirm

[solid crown]

no idea ngl

[delicate geode]

😭

[solid crown]

is the power button a certain color?

the one on mine turns red

[delicate geode]

I don’t know if it has one tbh

I mean there is no
power on the monitor at all

Not even a light to signal it’s not on

[solid crown]

i see

[delicate geode]

I mean I’m absolutely cooked

[solid crown]

yeah I guess try unplugging it

[delicate geode]

Shitttt alright

[solid crown]

should still be in warranty though if its dead right

[delicate geode]

I would hope so tf

[lethal moth]

Linus has competition, I was walking upstairs, hit a graphics card into a wall, then it fell and scraped across the floor

Well I lost grip and threw it, less scraped across the floor, same thing

[fallen sky]

Bruh the ARGB connectors don’t stay in the add_gen2 headers

:(

[lofty raft]

They do

[fallen sky]

Oh really now

oh of course the second one worked right after I saw ur message

Now all I need to do is find where this cable goes (this will by the last time I ever ask for help today)

👉👈

Camera doesn’t wanna focus

But I assume it’s a 12v cable I need to plug in somewhere

[solid crown]

looks like a fan cable

[fallen sky]

(This is the 2nd to last thing I need to plug in before I’m done)

[thorn pewter]

Oh

How was the laptop ya mom bought ya

[fallen sky]

good while it lasted

[thorn pewter]

Oh did you return it

[fallen sky]

I looked at the receipt and wondered why it was so expensive for not much performance

[grizzled frost]

CPU vs GPU in protein folding

[fallen sky]

$1120 USD

[lethal moth]

Have you tried the motherboard manual

[fallen sky]

Yeah I explained to her that building your own computer has tons more value and after like an hour she understood

[fallen sky]

yep

[thorn pewter]

Oh Thats good

[lethal moth]

Idk then don't ask me I'm dumb

Took out and replugged my GPU like 10 times and found out I just needed to use DP instead of hdmi

[thorn pewter]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1356765177298817105/1392592079774941184/EVIL_FUCKED_UP_BUNNY.webp

[grizzled frost]

if it didn’t work the first 9 times, what made you think the 10th time would

[swift moss]

Anyone else getting Microsoft flight simulator vibes?

[fallen sky]

10th times a charm

[swift moss]

Or warzone vibes

[grizzled frost]

328MB is pretty small

[swift moss]

320mb "game" which needs to be "updated" with 200gb of content

[fallen sky]

328 MB? More like 328 GB

[fallen sky]

Ohhhh it most likely goes in the chassis fan3 header

[grizzled frost]

the exe is 328MB, then there’s the rest

[fallen sky]

I got it now

My new GPU is so heavy that I need to bring a funko pop to help the GPU sag

[azure topaz]

erm 13900k

[azure topaz]

gpu stands are mad cheap if you want a proper one just sayin

[fallen sky]

(I can’t afford $7 on Amazon)

[thorn pewter]

Is it true

[lofty raft]

My batantisagman

[lofty raft]

Pennys on AliExpress

[grizzled frost]

you added one too many "at"s

[lofty raft]

Bat anti sag man

[grizzled frost]

there you go

[lofty raft]

Thx

[trim gyro]

ooh proart gpu kind of looks nice

[lofty raft]

Me like

[tidal trail]

Very neat

[mild garden]

Hey guys i got a question, i know a decent lot abt pcs but i dont have one like decent myself (r3 3200g, 8gb ram 256gb sata ssd, you get the point) and im thinking of buying one myself (buying parts individually gets tricky like very tricky) so i was looking on local marketplaces n found a decent enough pc. Spoiler alert, ot has a rtx 3050 8gb (ik its bad) but for the prebuilt price its actually decent. So the specs are:
i3-14100f (ik intel cpus aint the best rn)
16gb 3200mhz 2x8 ddr4 ram
512gb nvme ssd 3500mb/s
Rtx 3050 8gb
500w psu
For the price of 400 euro (in slovenia) and the price is like really decemt for the parts

[latent pasture]

ur already on am4 just get a better cpu

[swift moss]

you can just tell this guy codes in visual basic 1999

[fallen sky]

The hell is the point of PCIe on PSU when you have 12v 2x6

[azure topaz]

more pcie?

sometimes people plug shit in that isnt a gpu that still needs a plug

or sometimes their board needs a plug too for whatever marketing reason

[fallen sky]

Ah

[solid crown]

or the gpu doesnt use 12v2x6

[swift moss]

amazing grammar battlefront

[lethal bay]

believe it or not, PCIe devices other than Nvidia GPUs exist

[grizzled frost]

They were one letter off, give them some credit

[grizzled frost]

HEY! amd uses that shitty connector too sometimes

[swift moss]

and i was one payment away lol, my ea membership expired

[mild garden]

I mean i thought abt upgrading parts alone but like i got a sh**ty mobo, the cpu would need upgrading, a new psu a gpu new ram

Thats just a new build in an ugly old case

And id need new fans and allat

[fallen sky]

The gpu did not click in

Shi mayne

[solid crown]

its broke ill buy for 20

[fallen sky]

What card do I have

[solid crown]

mf

[fallen sky]

What can I do here? The cables will be fucked over by the fans

I just moved it to the top instead

[azure topaz]

im proud

[solid crown]

should be fine

have you confirmed it actually hits the fan when spinning?

[fallen sky]

Nope

Alright the next step is to see if it runs 💀

[azure topaz]

bro already moved it its fine

[fallen sky]

and if it doesn’t I’ll have wasted hours and hours

[azure topaz]

hype

[fallen sky]

Holy fucking shit I did it

[sinful cobalt]

It looks like its still standing above the fan and not interacting

[robust trail]

😦 1x2 displays is weriding me out

both in landscape. I hate monitor arms. I suppose I need one so I can do potrait on the secondary display.

[azure topaz]

hating monitor arms is curious

[robust trail]

they annoy me because they are weird

[azure topaz]

thats fair

[robust trail]

and I never toss the stock stands

[azure topaz]

freakish poles that move stupidly

[robust trail]

exactly

[azure topaz]

LOL me neither i have mine in the closet

[solid crown]

just wall mount the monitors

[azure topaz]

i say closet but in reality its about the same size as my room

so like just...storage...

cause its not really a closet its like a weird

i cant even describe it

[fallen sky]

Oh you motherfucker there is a white light on the board

[robust trail]

Wall mounting displays is weird too

[solid crown]

im keeping my stand cause this monitor was $1300 and I need to keep resale value up if I ever sell it

[azure topaz]

is it GPU

if its am5 itll take like 3 minutes to turn on prolly

if its GPU its probably just waiting for a cable to plug into it

[robust trail]

exactly, I have two PG32UCDP and tossing the stands would be a poor choice

[fallen sky]

Yeah

[robust trail]

and a samsung ark that I refuse to sell because it is glorious

[azure topaz]

plug a monitor in

[fallen sky]

I don’t have one- they’re both at my dads house

[azure topaz]

bro

no TV? no nothin?

[fallen sky]

2 TV’s

[azure topaz]

its got hdmi my man

[fallen sky]

Yep

[azure topaz]

are you seeing the vision

[fallen sky]

Im 100% seeing it

[azure topaz]

optimal

[solid crown]

man those are nice

[robust trail]

they are

[solid crown]

my monitor is just the 1440p ultrawide aw3423dw

paid that early adopter tax 😭

couldve waited a year and it was like below 1K already

[robust trail]

I don't game on my PC, attached to mac studio lol

[solid crown]

thats crazy

[robust trail]

One is attached to my gaming PC but I don't turn it on

the PC that is

[solid crown]

ohhh so you arent using both at the same time?

[robust trail]

I am, I am going to have to buy a monitor arm to get one rotated into portrait

I need to tail them logs

[solid crown]

4K 240hz OLED monitor as effectively a discord viewer is crazyyy

[robust trail]

I run them at 120hz

and I want matched displays

[solid crown]

thats not making it any better man 💀

I might have a more cursed setup soon though

[robust trail]

Burning power to burn power is not my style 🙂

[solid crown]

My friends friends dad apparently has a super ultrawide he wants to get rid of cause it has a dead pixel line in the middle, if I get it im turning it into a vertical discord monitor 💀

[mighty warren]

Hey anyone else here have a ROG Ally?

[solid crown]

fair enough

[robust trail]

Yus, what is your question

[fallen sky]

@azure topaz need a keyboard to continue

[azure topaz]

this is true

[fallen sky]

Yep

[azure topaz]

but your computer works, so just wait

[gentle kestrel]

may want a mouse too

[fallen sky]

I can’t wait.

[azure topaz]

you did it correctly YIPPIE

[thorny nexus]

Hey you need a human interface device to run a computer btw

[azure topaz]

this might be true

[thorny nexus]

[fallen sky]

Im bringing the rest of my setup over tomorrow

[mighty warren]

Not really a question. I just picked up a used one today. I’ve only downloaded 2 games on it but I’m excited to mod it and get some aftermarket stuff for it. It seems like a good unit just takes a minute to learn how to use lol

[azure topaz]

hi bibinz

[thorny nexus]

Plot twist of the century

[robust trail]

lies @thorny nexus

[thorny nexus]

Hola senor

[fallen sky]

Keyboard monitors headset and my chair

[azure topaz]

arenty you older than me

[thorny nexus]

I’m about to sketch up some cool concept car stuffs

[azure topaz]

i guess senor is also a like formal term

[fallen sky]

señor

[azure topaz]

fire

[thorny nexus]

I’m 18 so maybe

[azure topaz]

i am also 18 🤝

[robust trail]

They're super fun, I would suggest grabbing a bigger NVMe if it doesn't already have one 🙂

[fallen sky]

what the hell I thought you were like 25

[azure topaz]

no man

[fallen sky]

Im 18 too

[azure topaz]

i just like puter

[thorny nexus]

Half based off a Volvo 740 sedan but mid/rear engine with a zf8 transmission and a Volvo redblock

[solid crown]

I too thought floppa was like 25

[thorny nexus]

Maybe a whiteblock I’ll have room for it

[azure topaz]

no i just like computer

[fallen sky]

See

[azure topaz]

guys i hardly form sentences what do you mean

the oldies in tc2 hardly understand me fr

[thorny nexus]

That’s just everyone on dis

[azure topaz]

(they do just fine, not the nonsense though)

[solid crown]

I mean youve been using discord since before 13 so youve broken TOS 💀

[robust trail]

da fuq they aint oldies

[azure topaz]

idk guilty is like three hundred thousand

@hallow jasper how was the dark ages

[mighty warren]

That’s more than likely first on the list. I’m also leaning towards getting a dock and controller for it. Essentially gonna try and make it a more mobile console for travel. I haven’t tried exporting the video to an alternate screen. Do you think it’s possible to export the feed to like a hotel room TV? Usually there 60hz 1080p. Idk if that would be a problem for it.

[thorny nexus]

I have an rs5 in my driveway btw

[azure topaz]

LOL

this is fire

[azure topaz]

very nice i like the redblocks

[thorny nexus]

Ported 8v my love

[robust trail]

You can but you probably won't attach an external display when traveling. I travel quite a bit and I carry my ally x with me. I have the stuff to attach it to a TV... I just don't bother. I fall asleep too fast lol

[mighty warren]

I also noticed 25W turbo mode on Skyrim DEVOURS the battery…

But 9/10 it’ll be plugged in

[robust trail]

It does, 17w is the sweet spot for Skyrim

[azure topaz]

what the hell you need 25w turbo mode on skyrim for

like the new(er) skyrim or

[mighty warren]

Just test runs lol

Anniversary yeah

[azure topaz]

ah ah okay

[robust trail]

Skyrim is my jam on the ally

[azure topaz]

i just play btd6 when on the go

[mighty warren]

Right??? That’s one of the reasons I got it

[robust trail]

Skyrim and diabro 3

[tall flower]

Is there anything more frustrating than getting these stupid little wifi antenna cables seated?

[azure topaz]

poor thing is mangled

[swift moss]

3 bucks per capacitor, perfect

[robust trail]

almost completely fucked

[azure topaz]

i doubt it will go back on but maybe

[swift moss]

cornell dubilier is so overpriced

[robust trail]

actually it is pretty fucked

[azure topaz]

those shits are mad annoying

i have indeed just soldered to it before

could i tell you on what device? no

who remembers the wifi card they had to macgeiver (or whatever)

[robust trail]

I always snapped them back on with a slight angle and sorta rocked them into place

[azure topaz]

yea seems to be the play

makes it so you dont bend one side of the housing

thats the worst part

[robust trail]

and used a spooger to press down

fingies have uneven pressure, bad for fiddly terrible standards

minibnc I think, horrible connector

[azure topaz]

yes i think so too

and also agreed, i just bought a set of cheap spudgers and pryers

with a couple lil picks waow

[mighty warren]

I have Xbox game pass ultimate. Any games I should download and try tonight or this weekend?

[robust trail]

Kingdom Come 1 and 2

prepare for 25 minute sword fights and many death

[mighty warren]

Fun fun. Can’t wait

[robust trail]

Kingdom come is intense

So I failover to chivalry 2

[mighty warren]

There’s no expansion for Ram is there?

[robust trail]

Nah, it is soldered. you can solder more rams on there but have fun

I upgraded to the ally x to get the extra 4GB or something

[mighty warren]

Yeah I’ll pass on that for now…

I picked up the Ally base for $300 I’m just gonna do an NVME for now.

[azure topaz]

doing all that bga work just to have to reprogram the SPD too

[swift moss]

handmade my ass

[azure topaz]

i made them

[split laurel]

@azure topaz if I do get the 13900k how soon after I install it should I update the bios is it like a really high priority or can it wait a few days

[sharp ivy]

ah

[azure topaz]

it takes like 2 minutes bro if you have any respect for the cpu youll do it before you even put it in the board 😭

[sharp ivy]

Then we know they're quality

[solid crown]

600 mods are hard to run

[split laurel]

Im so scared to its the only thing I haven't done before 💀

[mighty warren]

I think eventually I wanna look into doing a desk setup with an external GPU. Hate to say it but if I did that it would more than likely outperform my gaming pc smh

[solid crown]

asap

[azure topaz]

its really not that deep just dont turn off the computer while its doing its thing and follow the instructions

[solid crown]

its llike saying how long can i wait to stop smoking

[split laurel]

Fare enough lol

Cus it can like actually damage it right?

[solid crown]

yep

[azure topaz]

it wouldnt happen quickly but

[split laurel]

I bought an lga system before all this thinking I could easily upgrade to a newer cpu

[split laurel]

Lga1700*

[solid crown]

is the 13900k youre getting new?

[azure topaz]

theyre cheap rn. probably

[split laurel]

Yeah

[solid crown]

ok good

[azure topaz]

like 350 its a price

[split laurel]

Yeah I wish I could buy a used one but thats a really bad idea

[azure topaz]

i paid 380 new for my 13900KS a few months back

[solid crown]

idk if you can even get a tray 13900k but make sure its a boxed processor

so you get the 5 year warranty

[azure topaz]

its probably from b&h and they dont sell tray iirc

[split laurel]

https://a.co/d/56ivNRE

[azure topaz]

oh cringe its amazon

100% positive ratings but only 30 ratings kinda sus

[split laurel]

Cheapest place

[azure topaz]

\

[split laurel]

It says straight from Intel store

Idk if that means anything

[split laurel]

Ah

[solid crown]

hmm says verified... legit

[azure topaz]

not worth imo id go with the next cheapest option from someone more reputable

[split laurel]

Well you learn sum new everyday lol

[azure topaz]

374 isnt terrible for being straight from amazon ig

14900kf is 419 but comes with 16gb of shitty ddr5 if you want that for memes

[frigid blade]

It’s that cheap now?

Wth

[azure topaz]

thats not cheap

i paid 380 for my 13900ks a while ago

https://www.newegg.com/intel-core-i9-14th-gen-core-i9-14900kf-raptor-lake-lga-1700-desktop-cpu-processor/p/N82E16819118464?

[frigid blade]

Oh yah nvm

[grizzled frost]

13900ks≈14900k

[fallen sky]

Of course the wifi adapter thingy isn’t magnetic 🤦

[frigid blade]

I paid $350 for my ks I just remembered

[fallen sky]

fuck asus

[azure topaz]

14900k is 30mv better bin on average

[grizzled frost]

what

[frigid blade]

Sold it for $375

[split laurel]

I might have to get a 14700k idk if I want to spend $370 on a cpu rn lmao

[azure topaz]

do that

you will not notice the difference

[fallen sky]

The wifi antenna isn’t magnetic

[azure topaz]

it still has 8 pcores, 12 ecores is more than enough

[grizzled frost]

why would it be

[azure topaz]

that is the genuine optimal option

[frigid blade]

Why would it be magnetic

[split laurel]

And for under $300

From Amazon

[azure topaz]

yooo 14700k comes with a liquid cooler

[fallen sky]

Do it doesn’t fall off the top of the pc if I accidentally move it???

[split laurel]

Really?

[fallen sky]

Where else would I put it

[azure topaz]

a free 240

https://www.newegg.com/intel-core-i7-14th-gen-core-i7-14700k-raptor-lake-lga-1700-desktop-cpu-processor/p/19-118-466?Item=19-118-466&cm_sp=product-_-from-price-options
yeah peep this

[frigid blade]

Ah, you have those weird ones you can move, that explains it

Most are attached to the connector on the pc

[fallen sky]

Suggest one pls

🙏🙏🙏

[grizzled frost]

magnet on the antenna sounds like an interference nightmate

[split laurel]

Omg

Im getting that

[azure topaz]

meow

[frigid blade]

And you get civ

[azure topaz]

YIPPIE

[split laurel]

Then I can give my friend the aio cus I dont need it

[frigid blade]

Holy it’s thundering

[azure topaz]

but still thats value and meta

[frigid blade]

Tell him $5

[split laurel]

Yesssss

[azure topaz]

tell him idk like whatever the diff is between the amazon version if you wanna make sure you still get a decent deal

[frigid blade]

Ngl you could resell the aio probably for more

[azure topaz]

imo thats what id do

[frigid blade]

If you care about the money

[azure topaz]

both parties end up with a good deal

[split laurel]

Hes building a mini matx pc with a 9070

[frigid blade]

Can those even fit an AIO?

[split laurel]

Yeah

360mm max

[frigid blade]

Not very mini then

[split laurel]

Asus p201

[split laurel]

Long and short

Basically

[frigid blade]

Just how I like it

[split laurel]

Its a msi aio too

He will have a better aio them me 😂

For $5

[frigid blade]

My family when we trade cars in between each other, it’s $3 for luck

[split laurel]

And im selling him ddr5 6000mhz cl36 brand new for $85

From corsair

[azure topaz]

that is... not a great deal but hey cancels out the aio being 5$ for you

[split laurel]

Fr

[frigid blade]

cas 36 for $85?

[grizzled frost]

i know someone who’s lucky number is 13, they’re a dickhead too

[split laurel]

To much?

[verbal prawn]

But I don't want a 240mm AIO and Civ VII is ass

[frigid blade]

That seems like high for cl at that price

[split laurel]

It was given to me its like $90 or $95 new

[azure topaz]

the aio is 5$ see the vision daniel

it cancels out

[split laurel]

https://a.co/d/3qb5h4H

[azure topaz]

50$ for the ram 40$ for the aio or 60$ for the ram 30 for the aio

[frigid blade]

I know I’m just saying you’d think it’s like cl30 at that price

And higher frequency

[azure topaz]

his gooner friend aint gonna know

[frigid blade]

Gooner friend

[south arrow]

Floppa used shiftx 1200 on the way manifest it works for me

[split laurel]

Wait

[frigid blade]

@azure topaz I finally got a use case for my gaming VMs

[split laurel]

I biult him the list of parts lol

He doesn't need to know

[verbal prawn]

What about 0$ for the ram and 0$ for the AIO

[split laurel]

Nuh uh

[frigid blade]

My gf’s friend needs something to play games on because she got a 4050 laptop that caps wattage at 40, and it scores 500 on steel nomad

I’m letting her use 35% of my 4090 for a bit to play games until she upgrades

I can’t believe they would limit the 4050 mobile to 40W on it lmfao

That’s actually wild, it scores all the way to the left side of the chart on steel nomad

[split laurel]

My guy is gonna start out with a 9600x and 9070 non XT bro is gonna be set for life lmao

[verbal prawn]

That's cap

Unless you kill him in 5 years

[azure topaz]

HURRAY

[frigid blade]

Yah maybe not, if devs don’t start learning to optimize games and just rely on pure GPU power then we’re cooked

[azure topaz]

meow

[frigid blade]

I can’t wait for some weird ass discovery that was in front of every GPU engineers eyes to get found and all our equipment is obsolete

[split laurel]

The 14700k also comes with a free game

And a $65 aio

[frigid blade]

Yah civ is cool

[azure topaz]

its civ youll probably fall asleep before you figure out what to do

[verbal prawn]

Hey it's me your long lost family member can I get a car

[frigid blade]

Wen 52 core nova lake cpu

[split laurel]

It is $60 more then amazing tho

But still a good deam

[azure topaz]

up to you

[frigid blade]

Yah, I’d try hearts of iron first

[verbal prawn]

I heard that Civ 7 is bad

[azure topaz]

erm i just spent 100 on my watch piece

[split laurel]

It is within my budget of $340 so

[frigid blade]

They’re not at all comparable but hoi4 is horrible to learn too

I remember trying to teach my neighbor how to play it

[verbal prawn]

It's been nearly a thousand hours and i still don't understand Navy

[frigid blade]

On top of him being slow af, I just can’t teach him

[frigid blade]

Me neither or planes, I just spam early year ships

It works if you have a lot of dockyards

Outproduce what you lose

[verbal prawn]

Planes is easy

[frigid blade]

Nah I hate planes I just max out anti air on divs and states

Don’t need to fight air if there’s nothing to fight

[verbal prawn]

But it's really funny seeing 30:1 losses

[split laurel]

The only problem is I can install my 14700k until I update my bios but it should be fine

If I brick my mobo how cooked am I?

[undone valley]

Can i get some thoughts on this build? I know the PSU is probably overkill, but it's fanless and 15-year warranty and allows for 850W operation

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/Dg8PTM

Bro i see 9070s at $600 all the time

Upsidedown =/= burger land

[undone valley]

AUD, so it would be 1k here

[split laurel]

Ohhh

Nvrm

[undone valley]

but i did mean to click on the XT, might have mislciked on the non XT

[verbal prawn]

Why ATX case and ITX mobo?

[split laurel]

Fr

[verbal prawn]

Also do you really need a fanless PSU

[split laurel]

Thats gonna look weird af

[undone valley]

i can get that MoBo for really cheap near me brand new, for around $120

[verbal prawn]

What's your budget

[split laurel]

My current ram is slow af

Ddr4 cl16 2800mhz

[undone valley]

i dont, but i thought it'd be worth it for 70 AUD more compared to the Seasonic Vertex

[split laurel]

Its a 3600mhz kit but I can't get it over 2800mhz

[undone valley]

as optimal as possible

[verbal prawn]

Dude just give me a damn number

[undone valley]

in terms of energy efficiency and price-perofrmance

[verbal prawn]

What is as optimal as possible

[undone valley]

so best price to performance, and best efficiency for perofrmance (I plan to undervolt the 9070XT)

[azure topaz]

man just buy something genuinely good so you can keep it for a decade

[verbal prawn]

^

[azure topaz]

thats not exaggeration

im bein serious. 10 years+

[undone valley]

that is pretty much what i am doing

im pretty sure i can make this last longer than a decade

the only that woudl make it last longer for me would be a 7950X3D, but that is, i feel too expensive for the max i get out of it

[verbal prawn]

Also the best efficiency to performance would be Nvidia

[azure topaz]

im talking just the psu alone

not the rig. those parts will be slow before half the decade comes by

(hopefully lol)

[split laurel]

[azure topaz]

but 400$ on a psu is ridiculous there is probably something a lil more optimal

[split laurel]

This a good idea?

[undone valley]

RX 9070 is clsoe to same effiiceny as 5080, which is the most efficient nvidia one and 9070 XT can be undervolted to close to the same wattage as 9070 and betterish peroformance

[azure topaz]

13900KF...refresh..?

[undone valley]

even AUD?

[azure topaz]

there was no 13900kf..refresh

[verbal prawn]

Well considering the 3090 is 5 years old already

[azure topaz]

thats just a 14900kf....

[azure topaz]

and slow

[verbal prawn]

And the 4090 is 3 years old

[split laurel]

Ha fr

[azure topaz]

not so slow

[verbal prawn]

Me with my 3060

[azure topaz]

i mean relatively speaking yo

3090 to 5090 is a wild jump be real

[verbal prawn]

Honestly all I play are eSports

[undone valley]

Just for reference, i was able to make a i7 first generation laptop last me 8 years. could have been more had the screen hinge not broken

[azure topaz]

5090 to whatever the next few cards from now is also going to be a crazy jump

[spring latch]

call me a microsoft fanboy and all (I actually constantly use linux) but on Win11 IoT enterprise, mayb just this version, but chromium edge actually uses a bit less RAM than chrome on 4GB RAM

that being said id rather use ungoogled chromium overall

[thorn pewter]

Haii

[verbal prawn]

Wild jump is debatable IMO but at least big

[spring latch]

and im having an MS edge issue where half of this tab has been frozen anyays

so its safe to say just dont use it

[thorn pewter]

Am ditching my 1151 bedroom mobo for a x299 one , which cpu should I get for it :3

[undone valley]

Also i can save some with getting a lesser SSD regarding the corsair one, just 2TB should be fine? I guess my budget would be around 3K

[verbal prawn]

I mean GTX 680 to 1080ti was an much larger jump, it feels like things are slowing down in the compute space IMO.

[undone valley]

i wish GPUs were cheaper. Theyre more expensive than a dang console

[thorn pewter]

Also frick the 2080ti and get me a 3080ti💅

[undone valley]

for now. It comes and goes in waves

but if there is more competition it could rise

[azure topaz]

this list is freaky

but yes even aud

[undone valley]

i thought itd be worth it being a A+ grade PSU and being fanless

and 15 year warranty

[azure topaz]

whats with the more expensive a620 board compared to the b650s

[undone valley]

i can get the mobo from somewhere nearby for 130ish

[verbal prawn]

Also you said 9070xt eariler but the list has a 9070

[azure topaz]

the psu i picked is A tier and has a 10 year warranty but is 200$ less. thats worth

[undone valley]

i did tell you i miscliekd and meant to click XT

[undone valley]

which one is that?

[azure topaz]

RM1000X

[thorn pewter]

I should go with hmm

[verbal prawn]

No you should go with hmmm

[azure topaz]

how do you feel about 2x24 over 2x32

[thorn pewter]

You should go with me🫶

[azure topaz]

nevermind its not that much cheaper its not worth it value wise

[verbal prawn]

What are we talking about

[undone valley]

coprair?

[azure topaz]

yessir

[verbal prawn]

2x48

[thorn pewter]

Soo need smthn high core going cheapo-ish and on x299

Ahhhh

[prisma idol]

hey guys, i just built my pc and when i booted it , the rgb fans, ram and cooler works, and then idk what happened after i put it up it stopped working like its all off besides my gpu rgb, i rechecked to make sure the wires and stuff are properly inserted and connected and im on a gigabyte mb, could anyone help please?

[undone valley]

i mean i can go for ASUS thor platinum II for 300AUD, but i just dont wanna have to deal with ASUS warranty BS as much, but then again, i get it througha retailer it;s on them to liaise on my behalf, right?

[azure topaz]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/BqYfZc

[azure topaz]

i dont think so, 3/4 of the time i think the retailer would tell you to RMA with the manu

[verbal prawn]

Cl36?

[azure topaz]

better than 5600 c40 for the same price

hes not overclocking c30 is irrelevant if he wont ever

[thorn pewter]

Now my Floppa if you may I hold youere hands together and search just for the one cpu🥺

[verbal prawn]

Fair enough

[azure topaz]

wut cpu

iirc i deduced 7940x is like a decent chip to buy for cheap x299

otherwise buy a 7980xe nothing else is worth it

or higher end but thats more expensive and if you just want to play around thats weird

core count is the same across x299 iirc

7980xe=18c, 10980xe=18c

[thorn pewter]

Hm Okadoka baby girl

[sleek ibex]

10980xe is a refresh of a refresh, but with the ability to support 256GB of ram

[undone valley]

Gold vs Paltinum PSU. i know it doesnt matter that significantly, but for the price of platinums are pretty decently priced

[thorn pewter]

Leme see the pricing of it yo

[azure topaz]

imo id rather spend cheaper on the psu and get a better board than the crappy a620 one you were going to pair it with, after a significant amount of time a gold vs platinum psu might actually matter but i think it would take years for the 200$ difference to be in favor of the platinum

[verbal prawn]

More like decades

[azure topaz]

its a matter of a few percent efficiency bonus, as well as a lot of psus get more efficient below 50% (or right around it) a higher wattage psu is going to mean youre lower in the efficiency curve

[verbal prawn]

Shits probably not gonna draw more then like 750w under load tbh

[azure topaz]

so who knows if the platinum psu would even be more efficient than the gold one because of the slight wattage difference

saving 200$ on the psu and spending 60$ more on a suitable motherboard is the play imo

[undone valley]

i can still get that mobo or an X level on for cheap. There's mumndad shop near me that is trying to sell off a bunch of things

[thorn pewter]

Whoa

[azure topaz]

thats chillin, id get a proper sized board for your case 👍 makes it look a lot nicer and the price difference probably isnt large enough to justify going with the cheaper

[undone valley]

i just picjked a random mobo to create the part list to see if the parts were decente nough

[azure topaz]

fair. dont buy an a620 board, lol

[thorn pewter]

😔

[undone valley]

EZPZ

[thorn pewter]

Ahhh prices are 2 high, am cheapo💔

[undone valley]

actually wait, i just remembvered something

[thorn pewter]

So Leme thinky thinky

[azure topaz]

less

[undone valley]

i might get this to fit it into the PC https://store.minisforum.com/products/minisforum-motherboard?srsltid=AfmBOop9HRCAbQNCfX8cYX6TA9OXdDpy-hxZgi4VyV0b_QdFLYl06ksA

[verbal prawn]

Assuming 750w underload. A gold PSU has about ~3% less efficiency. Which is 22.5W
Assuming an price of 0.15AUD per kWh it will take ~6.8 years under CONSTANT load

[azure topaz]

i dont reckon it would be more than 550w

[undone valley]

7950 CPU +mobo for less than just the CPU price

[azure topaz]

yeah see thats not worth it

just dont make any damn sense

[quasi field]

Yo… I kinda want a crt look on my whole pc like a filter, wanna play some Wii games with some friends and want a whole desktop crt filter. Anyone can’t help with that?

[undone valley]

okay, fir

*fair

[undone valley]

emulator? i think they have modes on them to make it look that way

[verbal prawn]

9.22 years

For 550w

[azure topaz]

gold vs platinum sounds significant and incredible but it’s legit like a couple percent at most

the diff between like 80+ white and 80 plat is like 13% or something for avg

for perspective

[verbal prawn]

Now imagine that you don't have your computer on all the time

And real world loads aren't 100% all the time

[undone valley]

there's also that curve thing, where the efficiency is most only at certain loads

[azure topaz]

yeah

[verbal prawn]

Probably >3 decades

[azure topaz]

and the lower psu would be better in your case

[thorn pewter]

Hmm

[azure topaz]

because your system does not/will not draw a lot of power even fully cranked

[verbal prawn]

Then the gap changes from 3 percent to 4 percent

[azure topaz]

like even if i owned the bitch and max oced it

[thorn pewter]

So I could go with another shot and try a x299 Xeon hmm

[verbal prawn]

Only 2.5 decades

[undone valley]

yeah i was also thinking of having a PSU for possible future upgrades, but i guess by then, i mean i should still be able to use the same PSU in 10+ years or so

[sleek ibex]

Reminds me, aren't those still going for wacky prices on the used market?

[verbal prawn]

1kw will be enough for a LONG TIME

[azure topaz]

indubitably sire

[undone valley]

i wish GPUs had a wattage limiter like CPUs do, or what laptops allow

[hollow ore]

how do i know if i have a virus if ive done scans and they say im clear

[azure topaz]

they do

[undone valley]

idnt it just undervolting?

[azure topaz]

there’s a power limit slider

[undone valley]

check registry

[hollow ore]

what am i looking for

basically i downloaded an exploit, it triggered defender, but i deleted it and i never opened any exe or anything

[undone valley]

there's also a bunch of processes that may pop up if it is infected

PC security channle has good videos on what to look out for on youtube

[hollow ore]

and now my pc is just acting off, took a while to boot, took multiple tries even

so i cant tell if i did something or its malware

[undone valley]

you should be fine, but doesnt hurt to double check

[hollow ore]

what could cause the booting problems

[undone valley]

generally things dont infect unless you activeate or something

[hollow ore]

thats what i figured, and the triggers were all low risk anyways

[undone valley]

could be anything, what shows up on your processes in task manager?

[hollow ore]

i just dont wanna have to reinstall

[hollow ore]

apps or background

[undone valley]

both

[hollow ore]

nothing that i seem out of regular

[undone valley]

go through PC Security Channel on youtube, they have videos on checking for things to see if infected and how to remove them too

[hollow ore]

ill send ss

[sleek ibex]

I see. Though the previous socket Threadripper isn't any better than Intel X299 (in fact actually worse) in the used market

[hollow ore]

also i noticed that sometimes when I go to restart my pc, "GSPY HidDevice Window" prevents shutdown

idk wtf that is

[thorn pewter]

Hmm so after big brain thinking what should i get I have zero control over what I buy and let others decide 🫶

[undone valley]

taht is odd

[undone valley]

Razer Blade laptop with 5090

[hollow ore]

everything seems normal to me?

[undone valley]

do you have any smart devices?

[azure topaz]

why does one runtime broker have a different icon

[undone valley]

liek smart watch etc?

[hollow ore]

no nothing connected to my pc

[azure topaz]

there’s 3 and there’s 2 with the same icon and one different

perhaps 2 services and the actual application

[hollow ore]

thats all i could find too when I googled the app

[hollow ore]

hm

[azure topaz]

you can right click and open file location

[hollow ore]

yea

the odd one out is in system32

the other3 i cant open file location

[sleek ibex]

IDK I'm going senile since HEDT sounds like an interesting platform to mess around with

[hollow ore]

also this morning when i first ran into the booting issues after a few minutes my pc just shut off and then another time i got this error ive never seen before

Also, does your PC have bluetooth?

[hollow ore]

yes i have a little bluetooth asus usb adapter

how come

[undone valley]

Try seeing if removing that or disconnecting that lets you shutdown better

im wondering if that is somehow connecting to something that might be causing that shutdown prevention?

[hollow ore]

maybe but it doesnt happen 100% of the time so i cant really tell

[azure topaz]

does it only happen when you forget to take your meds

that was obligatory i’ll go back to my cave now

[undone valley]

You'd be suprrised to know that sometimes is an actual thing

[hollow ore]

maybe this is just my sign to wipe and get windows 11 lol

[undone valley]

I mean, if you have a powerful enough PC, i dont think itd make that much of a difference

it didnt for me on my i5-8265U Thinkpad

[hollow ore]

i just dont feel like wiping and reinstalling windows

also windows defender was acting weird too, like in safe mode the defender app was a blank window

and it took about 5 tries to have an offline scan actualy work

[undone valley]

there should be an auto update for it available, unless you just wanted to get rid of the current one you have and try anew?

[south arrow]

Lmao

https://tenor.com/view/idcallitlamecomedy-until-next-time-hahaha-gif-24112794

[hollow ore]

it kept either not starting, or when it restarted it showed the offline scan load and after a few seconds booted back to windows

[hollow ore]

wdym

[undone valley]

IMO, i think a refreshed install of Windows 10 shoudl be fine, you'll be able to transfer to 11 by Oct pretty sure

[undone valley]

Windows 10 to 11 update

[hollow ore]

so you're saying i should just reinstall windows

[undone valley]

if that's hwat you're thinking you need to do, then go ahead. BUt i would recommend going through the above linked vids to look through processes and see if anything sus appears

[hollow ore]

alr

[agile stag]

awrf breaking news my laptop can run roblox i really thought it wouldnt be able to

[undone valley]

See if you can even download KVRT. If that comes up as a generic 'Anti Virus' with an AVG-like logo when it's run, that's a good indication you ar einfected

[undone valley]

seems alright to me

[hollow ore]

whats kvrt

[undone valley]

Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool

tho, i think Kaspersky might possibly be banned in US? but hopefully im wrong

[hollow ore]

ill look

also the TCPView app, what does it even show me 😭

and how can I tell if something is off or not

[undone valley]

You'll have to watch the vids i linked, sorry, i havnt gone through that in a while. I only do it once a year with that or when i see soemthing odd happen with the PC

[hollow ore]

i watched but he kinda just says to look up the IPs but i cant do that with every single one

[undone valley]

from memory, i think it shows if something is known or unknown or there is another program that does that. And if you can kinda determine where that program is from, you should be fine with those

known - being known to the program if it's standard with PC
unkown - being it does not recognise as part of standard PC processes

unfortunately im not much help unless i was able to physically help you and look throuhg it with you, because id have to refigure out how that all works

[hollow ore]

alr i dont wanna inconvenience u that much lol i appreciate this help

[quasi field]

Eh… I don’t find it to pop as much as a crt tho. I also have an oled, was wondering if there’s some kind of filter that exist that gives it a more CRT feel with the scan lines

[brisk frost]

Is this a possible price? A laptop with GTX 1060 sells for over 1300 USD?

[gentle kestrel]

well it’s got a cute anime girl so that adds at least $800 to the price

[azure topaz]

new and 1060 is not possible

[gentle kestrel]

can it not be “new” in the sense the china reballed rx580s are “new”

[brisk frost]

I saw a video about a laptop which is very similar to this.

That laptop uses p106m, not normal GTX 1060, so the bandwidth has only 4x

[brisk frost]

Any of the RX 470/480/570/580 can be changed to other models by flashing vbios, but it is usually to flash 470/489/470 to 580.

[azure topaz]

they can be "changed" to the other models

the 470 and 570 are physically different, ones a node shrink and a little more efficient

not even a node shrink ig but it was a refresh of sorts

tech yes city (i also tried) saw only higher power draw when flashing a 480 to 580

[azure topaz]

i mean it can (and is) but i dont consider that new

[gentle kestrel]

yeah fair

[brisk frost]

RX 580 has a nickname in China:" Mining King", which refers to it is widely used in Bitcoin mining.

[azure topaz]

recycled chips from dead cards or dead laptops doesnt exactly make me thrilled for its lifespan

[gentle kestrel]

considering pascal has one more driver branch left in its lifespan i wouldn’t consider the laptop new either i guess

[azure topaz]

who knows what they went through. people mined on anything w >4GB vram for a while

until the dag surpassed it

[gentle kestrel]

core wouldn’t really care much about mining i thought

mostly just abused the memory

[azure topaz]

yeah

but it still puts heatcycles on the memory and core

[ripe solstice]

will this work with the lian li a3 4070ti I heard not all matx do

[azure topaz]

less so than gaming but i dont want either

neither would be new

who knows if theyre not recyling the ram too as well

those 580s were a good deal when they were like 40$ off aliexpress though i wont lie

even the 2048s, 40$ for a 8gb 570 is a good deal

[empty quartz]

I wanna get the 7960x

For shits and giggles

Anyone able to help me with Daisy chaining rgb fans

:(

[azure topaz]

install them first

[hollow sorrel]

What's the best controller for pc?

I'm kinda leaning towards an Xbox series x/s controller

...nvm controllers are expensive AF

[rancid solstice]

Install them into a case and depending on what side u want the cables to come out of, zip tie them to come out that side

Then if u have slack then make them into a bundle and try shoving them behind the fans

[rigid ether]

I like xbox

[hollow sorrel]

£50 for a wireless one tho

[rigid ether]

I got one for 30 quid

[hollow sorrel]

I'd rather get an official Xbox one than third party

[rigid ether]

Mine is the official one

[hollow sorrel]

Where are you getting one for £30

[idle vessel]

ebay

[rigid ether]

A local tech shop, they only take cash

[junior valve]

what?

[limpid ivy]

lol cables

But big case so you hide it

[junior valve]

The back panel of my case is bulging a tad

Is there a robot vacuum cleaner people can recommend? I need to mention that I have glass doors and that i dont want it to run over the dogs toys. Also i would like to either tuck it underneath the closet or into a corner. My last one was a neato d7 and that one was kind of terrible, refused to start when the couch had moved a bit and ojly starts with 1m of free space on all sides

[peak knot]

That’s from external damage

Not overclocking

[gilded harness]

lets start cable managing

[vestal folio]

Nah I over clocked it

But anyways

[swift kestrel]

Been on 0% for around 5 minutes now

[ripe field]

how many pcs is too many

[azure topaz]

however many you can fit

[grim pasture]

is this enough thermal paste?

[ripe field]

i already have 3

then theres this interesting barebones sff for 20 dollars

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[frigid topaz]

Man I'm pissed the same store I bought my monitor that I bought on sale (140€) now has like monitors for half the price and more hz

Crazy

For same price I could get a curved 27 inch 1080p monitor that has 250hz

But instead I have 75hz

Tbf I bought my monitor like 2 years ago

[inner veldt]

Too much

[frigid topaz]

But the ads that pop up annoy me lmao, even if they blocked

[inner veldt]

Also fuck Thermalright, It was almost damaging my mobo

I hope it is okay

[sinful cobalt]

?

[true stirrup]

If you screwed in the cooler too much that is your fault

[rigid ether]

Thermalright is great

[inner veldt]

I mean I didn’t but it has no stopping point like noctua

I was worried about overtightening and removed the cooler

I guess its okay now

[true stirrup]

Just use common sense
When it becomes hard screwing in the screws stop

[rigid fjord]

this ain't new, and is overpriced for it's specs

[gilded harness]

hi im back

[rigid fjord]

8bitdo

[gilded harness]

i tried my best

[grim pasture]

it's not going in what do I do

[rigid fjord]

push on it a bit more

[grim pasture]

the motherboards bending

[cold skiff]

How weak ass you gotta be to not be able to push it in all the way

[rigid fjord]

in the case of the 24 pin, it's always a bitch to push in initially

[cold skiff]

Never had that problem

Even from the spaghetti ketchup and mustard prebuilts 20 years

Taking it out is normally more of an issue

[rigid fjord]

put something behind the spot where the 24 pin is, and huse that to help push it in

[rigid fjord]

the og 20 pin one, or when it became 24 pin?

[cold skiff]

The OG

Tbh they were worse to pull out than now but going in, never had an issue.

[grim pasture]

means my friend both did full force

[cold skiff]

I always say go big or go home. Get a hammer and screwdriver and whack it in if you’re that hard up for force. Works with everything.

[little quail]

Hydraulic Press then

[grim pasture]

we got it I pushed back the motherboard from the back and my friend pushed it in full force and it worked

[little quail]

Some people find random PCs laying on the street and i find phones

I almost thought about taking it home

[rigid ether]

its funny how 9070 is the same price as the 5070 where I live

[ripe solstice]

guys I dont know what case to build in next trying to decide between the deepcool ch260, lian li a3 and collermaster np200 v2

[hollow moon]

Looking to back the Ayaneo Flip 1 DS but not sure which config to get. Want to play 3DS games on Citra at 1080p upscaled + all the antialising/filtering settings to max + HD texture packs. Is the base model enough?

[rigid fjord]

<@&750150305383186585> scam

[gloomy sleet]

what is this guy on

top comment is some guys opinions on RDR2

[charred knot]

car thing

[ripe field]

trust me you do not want 1080p on anything larger than 24 inch

even 24 is barely stretching it

[frigid topaz]

i got 1080p on 27 and its fine for most game

[trim lark]

Is this good specs for a starter home server or do I need to change something

[low python]

i just changed my loading screen... do you guys like it!?!?

[ebon marlin]

Easily 3DS emulation is pretty light

Even my girlfriends iPhone 11 ran 3DS games smooth

[ebon marlin]

Hello Mr ledx

[tidal geyser]

what did a employ try to stab a screw driver into it?

[tidal geyser]

what??????

[low python]

yall fw with fallout 76 loading screen

[ebon marlin]

That's awful for a server lol

[frigid topaz]

zfor what purpose

[tidal geyser]

i think that is the worst server specs i have seen

[ebon marlin]

It's great for gaming but for server it's awful

They used chatgpt lol

[frigid topaz]

server doesent need a good gpu

[ebon marlin]

They already aren't the brightest

[tidal geyser]

even for gaming its not great

[ebon marlin]

It is

[charred knot]

only client does

[frigid topaz]

better than my pc in every way

[tidal geyser]

xd

[ebon marlin]

7800x3d and 4070 is amazing for gaming

[tidal geyser]

but i meant as in its like a 2k pc with the specs of what 1.5

[ebon marlin]

Not for servers tho

[tidal geyser]

but it got a HDD

[charred knot]

i spy my server with invisible ethernet

[tidal geyser]

64GB of ram

[charred knot]

sorry D-Link

[tidal geyser]

omfg

[charred knot]

LOL

[ebon marlin]

It's got a 1tb nvme good enough

[tidal geyser]

there are 400GB games

[ripe field]

when i first got my 24" 1080p 120hz monitor and set it up for the first time i deadass could count every single pixel 💀

[charred knot]

you found it’

[ripe field]

at least i did tweak it a bit to look a bit better

[charred knot]

i need to get a router for a subnet before i can build lab

and i just got another for an access point

[ripe field]

but yeah 24" is just the hard limit for 1080p for me

[rigid ether]

is undervolting less effective on gpus that generate less heat?

[ripe field]

any larger any its a pixelated mess

[tidal geyser]

wait you do not have a managed switch??

[ebon marlin]

I changed my res to 1080p on my 27" 1440 monitor and it made text unreadable lol

[frigid topaz]

its not that deep

[tidal geyser]

just try it

[charred knot]

at the moment no! i got my two switches for free, will a managed switch fix this issue?

[rigid ether]

I just did it on my 4080 super, I was just wondering what it is like for gpus that generate less heat

[charred knot]

i want to have my nas, and then server computer for like hosting and shit separate from my smart home hosting, so sonos, hue, what no

(i will need two pc racks right? one for each?)

[frigid topaz]

cause a a 1440p monitor on 1080p wont be same as a 1080p monitor

[tidal geyser]

well with a managed one you can do vlans

[charred knot]

sorry home lab shit is so confusing to me

[tidal geyser]

well uhm does that not generate up to 450w?

[ebon marlin]

There's no difference it's still the same res and same form factor

[charred knot]

i’m still learning, if you have any like mega long videos that explain it plzzzz do link i need to watch

[frigid topaz]

no?

[ebon marlin]

Yas

[frigid topaz]

sure sure

[ripe field]

24 is where id say its probably worth looking into 1440p instead

or 27

[rigid ether]

u mean power consumption?

[tidal geyser]

you do understand 1w of power into gpu means 1w of heating in the room

[ebon marlin]

24 1440p requires you to get one of those ultrasharp monitors

[rigid ether]

ye

[ebon marlin]

Which suck for gaming

[hollow moon]

Thanks 🙂

[ebon marlin]

As they aren't made for gaming

[rigid ether]

4080 super draws like around 320W

[ripe field]

honestly id rather trade high refresh rate for higher res

then again im not exactly a gamer anyway

[ebon marlin]

Also if ur just planning on playing 3ds games just get a N3DSXL got mine for 150€ and did an USB-C mod on it

[tidal geyser]

so 320w of heat into the room

if you want less then lower the power limit

[ebon marlin]

So ur just gay then

[ripe field]

maybe

[elder quarry]

What the hell is happening here

[ripe field]

[dapper dragon]

1080p monitor running 1080p would look better than 1440p running 1080p

[frigid topaz]

see i knew what i was saying

[dapper dragon]

1440p monitor at 1080p res is just stretching rendered pixels 133% to scale up

Looks a lot softer/smudgy

[quasi moat]

1440 scales down to 1080. Not up

[ebon marlin]

Sounds gay

[dapper dragon]

It is

[ripe field]

its never too late to back out of your addiction

[frigid topaz]

gimmeeee

[plush wren]

TF card

[frigid topaz]

im still using hdd lmao

[dapper dragon]

[ebon marlin]

Pal is using AliExpress SD cards

[ripe field]

nuh uh

[ripe field]

those are legit, just unbranded somehow

[frigid topaz]

works fine in most games

[plush wren]

ts not a sd card

[quasi moat]

Catto what labtop do you run?

Maybe you can afford this kind of stuff one day

[ripe field]

i got them from a dvd player supplier for like 10 cents a pop

[quasi moat]

And not be salty ab it

[dapper dragon]

But file transfers, video editing

You disgrace me

[frigid topaz]

i dont do either

[ripe field]

tested with f3 and h2testw, both reported 128gb on each card

[plush wren]

what the helly
