[solid crown]

make sure its off

[rigid fjord]

@strange atlastime for you to learn some basic eltrical tricks, primarily via youtube clips

[barren breach]

Ok how big of a difference would it be going from a i5-14600k to say a i7 or i9 14th gen

Paired with a 5070ti

[wraith grotto]

its off

[solid crown]

🤷‍♂️

[wraith grotto]

alr thanks

[true stirrup]

Depends on your workloads and what CPU you would be upgrading to

[strange atlas]

Lets hope not getting electrocuted by 220 volt

[barren breach]

Im basically asking if itd even be worth it, Im usually just running pretty easy to run games in 1440p but hoping to get some 4k in the future when I upgrade my monitor

[true stirrup]

The higher you go with resolution the less the CPU matters

[barren breach]

Beamng, Forza horizon 5, Star citizen, bodycam. All are about the most graphically demanding games I play

[barren breach]

So you’re saying just stick with my i5 essentially

[rigid fjord]

there are many ways to prevent that tbh

[strange atlas]

how the fuck are those not graphically demanding games :d

[strange atlas]

i'll try to go with a video wish me luck

[barren breach]

Im saying those ARE the most demanding games I play, which I dont play super often ya know

[true stirrup]

That's up to you if everything is performing as you want it
But if you just want to go up in resolution upgrading the CPU is mostly a waste of money

[barren breach]

Ok gotcha, thanks, Im getting a 5070ti soon, still rocking a gtx 1080ti with the 14600k rn lmao. But was just wondering if itd be worth upgrading the cpu at the same time

[azure topaz]

no

wait for the new generations to come out

buying into am5 or lga 1851 rn would be a bad decision

[strange atlas]

gotcha cpu might depend on esport titles or like beamng in your case but i wouldnt say its worth it

[azure topaz]

ride out ur time with the 14600k and buy whatever comes out latest

[hexed tapir]

Why but wait for mid gen refresh for a new gpu

[barren breach]

Isnt am5 still fairly new? And the 14600k uses the lga 1700?

[hexed tapir]

2022

[barren breach]

Huh?

[azure topaz]

you didnt

really get what i was saying

[barren breach]

No I did not understand

[azure topaz]

1. lga 1700 has nothing to do with that sentence

1851 is the next generation intel socket, which is an option that you could upgrade to

so is am5

but either in their current states is not a good pick from a 14600k

[barren breach]

Oh are you saying wait for the last generation of lga 1700 before upgrading cpu?

[hexed tapir]

Around the middle of the life span of a gpu series amd/Nvidia adds slightly better often times cheaper ti/super cards

[azure topaz]

so wait for the next gen of am5 cpus or a new intel socket before upgrading

[azure topaz]

lga 1700 is already dead and gone

[trim gyro]

lga1700 is finished

[odd marsh]

November 2026 is my guess for Zen 6 and NVL

[hexed tapir]

https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/processors/amd-promises-am5-socket-life-support-through-to-2027-and-beyond/

[barren breach]

Oh gotcha, well I just built this pc fairly recently lol, only reason I went with intel at all is because I got my MSI z790 gaming wifi for $80 with 2 nvmes

[azure topaz]

yeah so why upgrade if you just built it

id definitelt wait for a long-ish time

[odd marsh]

14600k is still fine

[azure topaz]

14600k is great for anyone who isnt us be real

[trim gyro]

they have lots of disposable income idk

[odd marsh]

yuh

[barren breach]

Cause I planned on getting the 5070ti and wanted to finish everything now so I dont have to touch it for years essentially

[azure topaz]

keep in mind the 3600 and like 5600 are still like avg gaming chips

[azure topaz]

the 5070ti and 14600k will make an excellent combo especially at 1440p

[odd marsh]

my brother is still having a great time on AM4

[barren breach]

I asked around and that’s essentially why I landed on the 5070ti

[azure topaz]

idk how cause when i turn on an am4 pc i get sad

[barren breach]

But will it be capable of 4k you think? Somewhat decent frame rates?

[azure topaz]

yes

[barren breach]

I dont like the idea of dlss either lol

[azure topaz]

youre stupid then

[odd marsh]

ignorance is bliss

[azure topaz]

im not even gonna hold you on that one

[odd marsh]

I LOVE DLSS

[barren breach]

I prefer just raw performance

[azure topaz]

DLSS at 4k on a 5070ti is required

[barren breach]

I haven’t used it yet, im not saying I hate it or anything, just from what ive seen/heard

[odd marsh]

DLSS makes my 4070 a 4K machine

[barren breach]

Ive never used any form of frame gen

[odd marsh]

I am the poster child for DLSS

[azure topaz]

idk where youre reading what youre reading but most people i talk to love DLSS especially the new model

[true stirrup]

DLSS != Framegen

[odd marsh]

tbf most people you talk to are probably running 4K lol

[barren breach]

Ive never used ray tracing either lol, like I stated, im still on the gtx 1080ti

[azure topaz]

i mean true but in this scenario 4K is actually relevant to this conv

even at 1440p dlss is fine for quality

[odd marsh]

yup can confirm

[barren breach]

Its not like I need 4k either, I like 1440p a lot, just figured if im doing all this I might as well upgrade my monitor somewhat soon

Use 4k in more story driven stuff or whatever

[hexed tapir]

You would want a 5090 for 4k

[barren breach]

1440p has been more than enough on a single 27 inch monitor lol

[odd marsh]

DLSS quality at 1440p is a fine experience

[azure topaz]

yus

[barren breach]

Maybe for modern triple A games but I dont use my Pc for that

Unless you’re saying in terms of raw performance with no dlss

[odd marsh]

<@&750150305383186585>

[barren breach]

1080ti unit i tell ya

[cunning flume]

How do i know if my pc slowed down because i didnt clean it or because its got some malware

[odd marsh]

clean it

[barren breach]

Clean it, fresh windows install, send it

[ivory mountain]

is that a frozen notte i see

[barren breach]

Yes, I plan on swapping out my phanteks fans for the phanteks infiniti mirror fans eventually so it all matches

Also the 120s on the rad itself

I didnt plan on using an aio on this 14600k but when I saw thermalright makes $50 360mm aios, I did a lil research and decided why not

[bold laurel]

is a poweredge R540 good for a start for home server?

128gb ram 8 1.2tb SAS drives

that i know off

[frail tulip]

does anyone have any stylus pen recommendation (something that works with hp spectre x360 pls)

budget dont matter

[rain haven]

quick question do you guys reckon its a good idea to buy a RX 6950 XT in 2025?
For about ~280 Euros.
I really wanted to get an RX 7000/RTX 30 gpu, since those will get a sort of FSR 4 lite/FSR3.5 (amd confirmed their working on it(twice somewhat unofficially?), and its very likely considering their APU roadmap & the PS5 FSR roadmap)
RX 7900 XTs are about ~450 Euros
RX 7900XTX about 550
RX 7900 GRE's are priced badly so you can forget it.
And RTX 3090's are ~500-550 Euros minimum.
(widely available prices^^)
really hard to justify all the other options when a 9070 XT brand new is 650 and a 9070 is 580 (<- My local prices)

[thin relic]

Guys my build has got 7800x3d, 9070xt, 32GB of ddr5 ram, 2TB ssd and artic cooler 280 AIO. What do I upgrade next?

[hexed tapir]

Monitor to a OLED or mini led

[true stirrup]

Ngl 280€ for a 6950xt sounds great

[azure topaz]

yes

[lofty raft]

Delicious 😋

[strange atlas]

Man i want a cheap headphones with mic why is it impossible to find cheap

[gloomy sleet]

disagree

[true stirrup]

Well that is a scam

[gloomy sleet]

i don’t think it is

it also has a video of it working

[thorny saddle]

that price is wild

[gloomy sleet]

i offered my 4060+£50

[thorny saddle]

they clearly said they need money

[gloomy sleet]

don’t expect a reply tbh

[fathom mesa]

chat i fucked up and forgot i dont have a usb stick
can i install windows onto my new nvme without one

[gloomy sleet]

i don’t need the gpu just thought i’d put an offer in

literally no harm in doing so

[true stirrup]

You can partition the SSD and use that instead of the USB

[thorny saddle]

just disrespectful

[hexed tapir]

He needs money not gpu downgrades

[gloomy sleet]

i mean i might get it you could probably sell a 4060 for something

i’m not bothered if i don’t though

[worthy niche]

What should I do with my old PC once I move to AM5? 5600g 32gb ddr4 and maybe a GTX 550 Ti it it works. I was thinking maybe some VMs, Plex, and TrueNAS or something. I'm new to that server side of things

[azure topaz]

do not put the 550ti in it

[thorny saddle]

so you want a dude who lists something for crazy cheap who "needs money because something came up" to take your 4060 in trade and sell it

[azure topaz]

1 the 550ti doesnt even support nvenc

2 the 5600G is infinitely more efficient than it

[gloomy sleet]

no

[latent gull]

Then why offer it

[gloomy sleet]

idk

why not if he doesn’t accept i go on with my day if he does accept cheap gpu

[lofty raft]

Just buy it

[royal scaffold]

I sometimes wonder, if you own a PC, you'd never require a phone apart from making phone calls, sending and receiving SMS, for the camera, some basic browsing when you're not home, and for a messenger.

How accurate I am in this argument?
One of my friends started rage quiting when I presented this. 😅

[gloomy sleet]

nah i’m good

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[lofty raft]

With 4060? I don't think so 🤔

[gloomy sleet]

your about right i only use my phone when i can’t use my pc

[gloomy sleet]

7800xt would be very expensive to use

[lofty raft]

Sure

[royal scaffold]

If you have landline and a camera, even cut that. 💀

[gloomy sleet]

4060 is very power efficient in comparison

[gloomy sleet]

it would cost (by my incredibly inaccurate calculations) about £80 a year more

[royal scaffold]

What would be the point of expensive phones in that scenario? 🤔

[lofty raft]

What comparison? This Radeon fu.k the 4060 in every aspect

[gloomy sleet]

i already get 170fps in any game i play st 1440p on my 4060

[gloomy sleet]

not power consumption

[royal scaffold]

And still nVidia beats AMD in productivity tasks with their CUDA cores.

Let's just not talk about ray tracing.

[gloomy sleet]

a 7800xt is better then a 4060 in the non existent ray tracing

[royal scaffold]

I told to not talk about that for a reason.

[gloomy sleet]

lol

[latent gull]

Your not required to have a phone anyways. You also don’t require a pc.

[frigid blade]

you can do the phone stuff with a watch now, idk about photos

[lofty raft]

4060 and raytracing
Please stop

[latent gull]

You can also do it with a flip phone. Or just not have a phone

[royal scaffold]

Those things are literally overpriced for what they are offering.

[tidal geyser]

Look at what is outside

[kindred halo]

X570 Gaming X, 2700, and a stock wraith cooler.. For 120
Decent deal? - Will try to negotiate as much as I can ofc

[frigid blade]

Thats not what were talking about tho

[tidal geyser]

I should pet it

[steel umbra]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005859118398.html these are awesome, work like charm, also i can dispose them without throwing or salvaging a whole cable as well\

[hexed tapir]

Funny they got a 2700x with a x570 mobo since the 2700x doesn't support pcie gen 4

[royal scaffold]

Man, this is 2025.
e.g. When I wanted to change the branch of my bank, the workers their told me to do that on the app, that'd do the job instantly. When I told them my cheap-ass phone doesn't support their c##### app, they told me to write an application to the manager. That'd take more than 2 working days.

[hexed tapir]

Only if it's friend shaped

[steel umbra]

i hate lightning ngl, the pins get worn, charred after a year of use ~ to a point where it no longer works properly, i gotta angle the cable so it can charge the device

[royal scaffold]

I just recalled.
UPI (at least what that technology is called here), would require a phone as well.

F### cash and cards.

[tidal geyser]

Like this

Or this

[hexed tapir]

Very friend shaped

Couldn't be any more friend shaped

[tidal geyser]

It's just sitting there

[steel umbra]

eat it pls

[tidal geyser]

Nau

[steel umbra]

looks high quality

[tidal geyser]

It's just standing there

[steel umbra]

yeah they do that

[gloomy sleet]

none of the games i play even have ray tracing

[steel umbra]

either run or stand

maybe he wants to go where you're standing

[tidal geyser]

Selfie

[kindred halo]

Eh, atleast the board has the support for it.. I can always upgrade later
Especially since a 5600x is like 88 USD

The only challenge really is finding a RAM kit lol

[steel umbra]

just make sure he's not stressed so he doesn't get diabetes ajajajhahah!!

[tidal geyser]

I walked away from him now

He can go do his things

[tired bear]

that was 100% done by an intern

[kindred halo]

Gigabyte B365M D2VX SI, 9700, 1x16GB, and a decent looking dual fan tower
Asking price is $160

Worth it? - Or am I better off with the X570 Gaming X & 2700/Wraith stealth cooler, for 120, and upgrade to something like a 5600x later?
(The X570 bundle doesn't come with RAM, BTW)

Ah those are legendary

Overclocks to 450MHz with zero effort

[azure topaz]

yeah i cant put a wall unit in my room

[hexed tapir]

Go the cheap route

[kindred halo]

Might have to rely on prayers for dual channeling RAM lmao

[azure topaz]

i do not recommend the 5000 btu midea

i actually had that ac before i bought the 8000 btu

that exact AC

[kindred halo]

No decent 2x8GB kits, the only one that isn't 75km away is 2400MHz

[tired bear]

in europe we have windows incompatabile with those units
they are better at being a window but worse if you want to mount anything to it

[kindred halo]

I think I'll just buy two sticks of 3200 and pray that their memory controllers match

[mellow robin]

I can't buy one rn it's 22:37 maybe I'll ask my mom tmrw

[hexed tapir]

Did it not blow cold air?

[strange atlas]

I bought an headphones for 4 dollars this is an 30 dollar headphones i'm not sure if they put wrong number in

And i hope they dont cancel it

And my headphone cable teared apart today what a freaking coincidence man

[hexed tapir]

Even these?

[tired bear]

yea, there is no sliding pane

[azure topaz]

just not enough capacity to make a huge diff in my room

[hexed tapir]

Oh..

[dreamy aspen]

"DIFFUSED IN GERMANY"
oh man, did they do something with this in an european country? :o

[azure topaz]

im not a normal use case but i dont imagine any high ambient scenario would be different

[random gyro]

German windows

[hexed tapir]

So you would need to fully open the window and place plywood in the top gap and have no natural light ezpz

[random gyro]

Lüften

[azure topaz]

i say not a normal use case because my room is always in the sun until its down, i live on the second floor, and i have 4 computers on 24/7 in my room

[hexed tapir]

So you have four 6-800watt space heaters

[azure topaz]

woah

more like 600-800w of pc's TOTAL

[hexed tapir]

Ah

[azure topaz]

not 2400w lol

[vital marlin]

What is the most compute I can get in 2U of a 10 inch rack? Must have minimum of 2.5G networking.

[tired bear]

lets say you do jerry rig it, where will you buy a window unit if nobody has a use for one here so format isnt popular and avalibile

[azure topaz]

but 600-800w is not nothing and thats half a space heater

[hexed tapir]

Spend €250 shipping one in

[soft depot]

Small question - My MBD supports 2.5gb ethernet... is it worth spending £100 to buy a 10gb pcie adapter card

[azure topaz]

what

bro gave us a fun fact about his motherboard then asked if he should buy 10gbit

[gilded lichen]

if you peeps would be so kind to check out my #1019713714968088586 post and leave your ideas that would be great

[tired bear]

at that point just get a real ac that will be more efficient

[azure topaz]

do you have 10 gigabit internet?

do you have a reason to need 10 gigabit across local computers?

do you have the rest of the required materials to use said 10 gig card

do you have other computers that are also 10 gbit because you probably dont have 10 gbit networking

[soft depot]

I have 500gb right now hoping to upgrade to 1tb soon and I thought it would be nice to have more download speed

[azure topaz]

bro

500gb what

[tired bear]

data plan?

[azure topaz]

im gonna go out on a whim and say that you shouldnt buy a 10 gig card

[azure topaz]

but what does that have to do with how fast his nic is

[tired bear]

no idea

[azure topaz]

theres no way a provider with a 500gb dataplan also provisions speeds over 2.5gbit

that just doesnt make any fucking sense

[agile stag]

do you guys think this mobo supports hotswap it says itll do hotplug but then google says thats not the same as hotswap grrr i just want a board with hotswap sata

[azure topaz]

so im just really not sure what hes asking here

[azure topaz]

sata is hotswap inherently

find the option in the bios and itll work

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/south-park-law-legal-chewbacca-chewbacca-defence-gif-20226699

[agile stag]

my mobo at home has hot plug and iirc uh you can plug stuff in while its running but if you unplug it and plug in another drive then it doesnt work(iirc maybe im synthesizing this memory)

[azure topaz]

weird

[hexed tapir]

https://youtu.be/1Z9swMrSd-s?feature=shared make your own window unit

[tired bear]

sata hotswap was supported on my old z170 board

[rough wing]

How good is this?

Has an i7-13620h and a 4070, guy said he would sell me it for 600

[azure topaz]

sounds kinda like a driver issue more than anything id bet that its fine

fucking sata hotswap worked on my 775 board

[tired bear]

yep, just gotta turn it on in the bios

[azure topaz]

sata as a standard is hotswap they designed it for that

[fallen sky]

it boots correctly 🗣️🗣️

[agile stag]

ive seen it everywhere on so many boards but now that i have money and want another pc grr suddenly everything says hot plug

[azure topaz]

you have to enable it in the bios and thats it itll work after that

[agile stag]

hmm maybe ill recheck then

[fallen sky]

Also I have a keyboard this time

[surreal totem]

hey i m planning to buy a laptop. what is the latest CPU's rn? and should i wait if somethings gonna come out soon. I want really good battery life so i was considering the x elite but it came out a year ago. what should i get now/ what should i wait for
when is ryzen 400/ intel 300/ Xelite2 coming out? and when is it expected

[hexed tapir]

3 keyboards 2 mice

[fallen sky]

1 and 1

[azure topaz]

press f1, enable XMP/EXPO profile 1, save and quit

[fallen sky]

It’s buggin

[hexed tapir]

Nah the pc says 3 and 2

[azure topaz]

windows usb install

[agile stag]

huh grr maybe i am wrong

what fuck out there said hot plug and hotswap is different

[soft depot]

Thats all i needed to know thank you

[agile stag]

i want to speak to them

actually let me find them

[azure topaz]

yes it is

hot plug is what it sounds like, plugging something in while its on

hot swap is also what it sounds like

swapping out a device entirely while its on

[agile stag]

GRRRRRR

[azure topaz]

although i think i see it used interchangably

so who the FRAEK knows

[dreamy aspen]

🗿

[agile stag]

ill ponder about this but grrr

[azure topaz]

why is sata hotswap important to you

[fallen sky]

Fuh armory crate

[azure topaz]

good

dont forget expo

[agile stag]

i need it to beam oss onto ssds easily its funny and it looks cool

and ill just store all my oss on one pc

[fallen sky]

Did

[azure topaz]

OSS?

open source software or plural of OS

[agile stag]

mmhm like uh operating systems

[azure topaz]

bro

[fallen sky]

Also I got a voicemail for a JOB this is a very sad day

[azure topaz]

do you live in the stone age

[agile stag]

i am NOT reflashing xp onto a usb drive again and i do NOT want to wait for the whole thing to install

[azure topaz]

1. look up ventoy
2. network booting is a viable option for anything not windows (theres a net version of ventoy)

[soft depot]

OK so im not the smartest with tech stuff... I have 250mbs fibre Internet with a British company called BT

[fallen sky]

ok

[azure topaz]

yeah you dont need faster than 2.5 gig

youre limited first by your internet plan, not your motherboards ethernet capabilities

you will not get faster download speed upgrading anything in your computer

[tired bear]

Pxe boot is awesome

[azure topaz]

yes

its awesome af it just sucks no secure boot

[soft depot]

I will be upgrading Internet soon to 1gbs does that make a difference

[tired bear]

No?

[azure topaz]

2.5gb>1gb

[rough wing]

Someone help my dumb self

[azure topaz]

no as in which one

like no theres "no secure boot?" or like are you saying there is secure boot and im stupid

[tired bear]

I dont know exact arhitcture of it at work but we pxe install literally all standard devices (currently w11 enterprise)

[azure topaz]

interesting

as far as i know, at least iventoy doesnt support secure boot

and im not going to search much further than that i dont care that much

[grizzled frost]

you can do almost anything if you have the right niche software

[azure topaz]

i dont need pxe but it would be cool as a project

[tired bear]

Well we are using sccm

[azure topaz]

yea

i think thats the only way secure boot works actually 💀

but mayb eim crazy

[agile stag]

awrf ill just upgrade to a new mobo and case and cpu and stuff and get rid of my old stuff and filk that void with a cheap pc of some form

[azure topaz]

at some point cheap pcs wont do it anymore be weary

[grizzled frost]

and i rolled right down it

it started with that thinkstation btw

the hill is steep

i thought “yeah i can host all my random BS on this”

[tired bear]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/configmgr/osd/deploy-use/use-pxe-to-deploy-windows-over-the-network
so basically we have a custom OSD that does all install actions (install win, domain join, install standard apps, update bios, etc..)

[azure topaz]

ahh okat

[fallen sky]

Holy shit I’m going to an interview for a j.o.b tomorrow

Anyway I’m on the windows Home Screen now what

I need to install the wifi driver

[azure topaz]

you’ll have to get it from another computer

[fallen sky]

uhhhhhhh

[azure topaz]

asus is cringe and forces the wifi driver in the armory crate install

[fallen sky]

are we serious

Are we actually joking

[tidal geyser]

massive fiber cables

going all around the globe

[grizzled frost]

i’m soon buying more fiber

[tidal geyser]

even shorter?

[grizzled frost]

i’ll get the fiber after this

[grizzled frost]

that’s as short as fiber patches get, at least that i could find

[fathom mesa]

So I tried installing the nvme

I got scared because it looked like this
Is it supposed to look like this?

[grizzled frost]

it is not

it should be parallel to the motherboard

also amazing drawing, love you

[fathom mesa]

Thank u

[tidal geyser]

dam

[grizzled frost]

there should be a standoff that the m.2 sits ontop of

[gloomy sleet]

panasonic gamecube

[grizzled frost]

yeah it fucking sucks

[tidal geyser]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

why do so many people use the standoff itself as the screw

[gloomy sleet]

the exact opposite actually

[grizzled frost]

it’s not a normal thing outside of computers to need a “standoff”

[tidal geyser]

also how

[grizzled frost]

sheer dedication

[tidal geyser]

the m.2 goes on top of there then you screw it in

[young crest]

m.2 standoff

[grizzled frost]

this is the most screw looking standoff i have ever seen and i hate it

[tidal geyser]

screwing in a normal m.2 can be hard at times, doing it that way is HARD

[grizzled frost]

but yes you’re supposed to screw that into the board, then place the m.2 on top of it, then put in the m.2 screw

[grizzled frost]

Sheer. Dedication.

[tidal geyser]

the thing is, you do almost need to try to mess it up too as the motherboard comes with a book that has pictures of what you are meant to do

i think some SSDs even come with a thingy

[grizzled frost]

Ignorance loves to not RTFM

[fathom mesa]

Alright I think I have now installed it properly

[tidal geyser]

O NOOOOO its bent

[fathom mesa]

oh fuck did I break it

[tidal geyser]

lets see if you did

[odd marsh]

@lethal bay question about your desk. When you got it, was the desktop one solid piece or did you have to put multiple together?

[tidal geyser]

only way is to boot it

[fathom mesa]

I don't have it as my main drive yet tho so how would that work

[tulip sparrow]

I assume that my Peerless Assassin 120 SE uses 120mm fans since I need to replace them as one seems to have burnt out and they aren't being picked up by the mb any more

[tidal geyser]

uhm what?

you do understand you just boot into windows and see the ssd in disk managment

or crystal disk info

[fathom mesa]

Oh ok

[tidal geyser]

or even just file explorer

[fallen sky]

Luckily I didn’t return my laptop yet

[lethal bay]

Multiple together

[odd marsh]

Ok good, checked amazon reviews and saw the same. I got the desk today, looked at the box again and thought "theres no way a 7 foot by 3 foot desk is in this mf"

[tidal geyser]

i thought todays 25c was hot

[sharp ivy]

You need a standoff on the mounting screw thing

very nice art btw

[lethal bay]

Yeah that’s exactly what I said lol

[fathom mesa]

@sharp ivy

[sharp ivy]

Nice, good job

[lethal bay]

When you’re putting it together, make sure you’re holding each piece of the tabletop level and flush. I had to go back around after I put it back together because I tightened everything up without paying attention. Easy to correct though.

[odd marsh]

Ok noted, much appreciated. You were right, I can tell the wood is fake but it still seems pretty nice

[lethal bay]

Yeah it’s still surprisingly nice for what it is

I hope you don’t plan to use monitor arms though

Straight up impossible on mine

[latent gull]

What desk?

[odd marsh]

was thinking about it, but not the biggest deal

[lethal bay]

Some random ass affordable but surprisingly decent desk I bought on Amazon months ago

It’s huge lol

[odd marsh]

Saves me money for buying an arm then

[latent gull]

My current one is some old fake wood desk, it’s a big desk but doesn’t have much actual surface area. When I move I’ll likely have to get a new one

[lethal bay]

Akn did yours arrive in a half destroyed box lmao

[odd marsh]

I was planning on getting an arm, then this weird vesa mount that would have speaker mounts on each side of the TV but that would have been 3-400$ so sweet money saved

[odd marsh]

not the worst but it was left with the open end facing up in the rain

I can't blame the driver, 70lb package and not the easiest to hold

[lethal bay]

Yeah dude there was a entire quarter of the box on mine completely fucking nuked

Luckily nothing was actually damaged but

yeah lol

[plush wren]

how come hosting a server is actual cancer

[long goblet]

if a recruiter offers a time range for an interview, should i respond yes, i'm available that whole time, or should i offer hour-blocks within the range?

[odd marsh]

wdym?

[lethal bay]

because your ISP hates you

[plush wren]

Lmao im trying to host a cod4x server and I just cant connect to it

[plush wren]

[long goblet]

i think that's more PEBCAK

[plush wren]

i followed the instructions on github perfectly

[long goblet]

maybe skill issue is what the kids are saying these days.

[long goblet]

git gud?

[solemn stirrup]

i hate windows updates... ruined the graphics drivers

[long goblet]

you mean it made the graphics drivers awesome.

[plush wren]

psychedelic drivers

[long goblet]

like giving your computer acid.

[hexed tapir]

Nvidia was or is having driver issues with rtx 5000 cards

[solemn stirrup]

i have rtx a4500

but this happened right after a major windows update

[fathom mesa]

I'm pretty sure I'm fucked

Oh wait nvm?

[south arrow]

Did you set then connect polar?

[plush wren]

wat

[fathom mesa]

Pretty sure this is the nvme

[plush wren]

fuck it cba to set ts up

[south arrow]

Set the ip then get the ip as per the git?

[plush wren]

yes i did everything there

its ok i cant be bothered

[south arrow]

Just browsing for things mytve missed, ok all good fams ill leave it for ya. If you get bored hopefully its just a line or something easy ❤️

[plush wren]

Lmao

[fathom mesa]

What do I pick??

[tidal geyser]

GPT

[south arrow]

Secondary drive i do gpt

[tidal geyser]

MBR is just nono for everything

[south arrow]

Can't imagine using it off the top

[tidal geyser]

NTFS

[agile stag]

imagine sushi but with cooked fish instead of raw

[tidal geyser]

tempura?

[agile stag]

ntfs default everything will do you fine but you might wanna rename it

when i look up tempura its like 99% shrimp images but theres one of a roll so im gonna say that maybe

[fathom mesa]

im really sorry for being dumb about this process
my only experience of installing harddrives is ripping an old hdd from the old family pc and sticking it in my current pc for storing shit i dont need to use that often

[agile stag]

but like just like a salmon roll with rice and seaweed but the salmons cooked it would be so good

[agile stag]

dont worry at least you accept guidance and stuff

some people here yell about the same issue for an hour and dont accept any solutions at all even when its like an obvious fix

its ragebaiting but like damn it gets to people

[fathom mesa]

question
ok so earlier i was told that i could install windows/tiny10 on the new nvme without a usb stick by partitioning it

how do i like actually do that

yes i dont have a usb stick

[fallen sky]

I downloaded WiFi drivers to a usb stick but when i click the asus setup absolutely nothing happens

T-T

[tulip sparrow]

Right click the exe and click run as admin otherwise it may be archived and you will need to extract them before installing @fallen sky

[fallen sky]

I did

Both

[waxen jungle]

Time to switch to Firefox

[fathom mesa]

should've done that ages ago

[waxen jungle]

probably lol

I still have minor bugs with firefox from ages ago even on a totally new PC

[hexed tapir]

Or use ublock lite

[waxen jungle]

I heard that's worse and doesn't block everything

I ain' t using Brave because of the crypto crap they have

[hexed tapir]

I just started using it

[steel umbra]

firefox fork better

[waxen jungle]

which one do you recommend? I've looked into them before

[steel umbra]

if you don't care about the devs being woke or extremist uhh librewolf, i think ironfox a fork of mullvad browser which is a fork of firefox, both i think aren't woke

[waxen jungle]

lmao

I was following Zen browser but that is a bit too experimental for me

[steel umbra]

sure

[steel umbra]

also firefox is a fork of tor iirc

[unborn oxide]

what type of pc should i have for my first ever pc

living in Germany

[steel umbra]

so you have a fork of a fork of a fork of a fork

nvm tor is forked from firefox mb

good sleep deprivation

me when i spred misinfirmation

[steel umbra]

budget?

[unborn oxide]

1000€

[tired bear]

you can turn off all the crap

[steel umbra]

am5 i recommend

[unborn oxide]

am5 is overkill no?

the cpu from am4 to am5 have like no difference in performance

[rough wing]

Worth $600?

[steel umbra]

7400f + b650/m or b850/m will set you at around 220 euros

[tired bear]

false

[steel umbra]

yes

[waxen jungle]

You can do AM5 for 1000. Going AM4 at this time seems pointless in terms of upgradability

[rough wing]

Cool. Gonna pick it up

[unborn oxide]

why wdym

am4 is still supported

[rough wing]

Gonna be the couch laptop when I’m not on my 9070 rig. I hope it’s not too bad difference on performance

[unborn oxide]

wth is a 7400f

[steel umbra]

it only gets ryzen 5000/x3d refreshes

[waxen jungle]

The platform is 8 years old at this point.

[unborn oxide]

hmm

what else

[steel umbra]

ryzen 5 7400f, a 6c, 12t cpu that's basicly just downclocked 7600 without igpu and uses different tim between ihs and dies

[fringe prairie]

tuf is built like shit but for $600 thats fine

[rough wing]

TUF shit

[steel umbra]

it's fine

[plush wren]

[unborn oxide]

i understand nothing u js said except the cpu

[steel umbra]

totally fine build quality just don't expect $$$$ laptop tier

[rough wing]

I mean, I’m assuming it’ll run cod, valorant, siege, rust over 60fps lol

[unborn oxide]

dude ryzen 5 7600f doesn't exist

u mean x?

[steel umbra]

6 core, 12 thread, integrated heat spread, dies are the thingies that do the work and calculations

[steel umbra]

7400f

[steel umbra]

ye buy it

that's good price and may get sold out

[unborn oxide]

nope still nothing

[rough wing]

It’s a guy with a never opened box he got from a sale

[unborn oxide]

no 7400f on ppc

[steel umbra]

which browser or search engine are you using

[frosty oriole]

This might be a dumb question, but could I use a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter to display 4K120 on my TV from my 2080 Ti?

[steel umbra]

oh, it's a chinese mostly cpu

you buy it through aliexpress or alibaba services

some wholesale buyers or drop shippers exist that resell it tho, you can buy it through them as well

like on amazon or ebay

[steel umbra]

it depends on the cable's rating

[unborn oxide]

134€

[frosty oriole]

DP 1.4a or higher to HDMI 2.1.

[steel umbra]

yes that'll do

[unborn oxide]

ryzen 5 7400f 134€

what else

[frosty oriole]

Cool, thanks. MemEx seems to be down, so do you know if those are passive adapters, or will I need an active one?

[rough wing]

You need an active one I believe

[frosty oriole]

Alrighty.

[steel umbra]

if your device supports dp++ then dp to hdmi should work without a chip aka passive i believe

hdmi to dp or dp to hdmi without device supporting dp++ will require active one

[steel umbra]

welcome deal or are you active user? if you're already a user i'd wait until aliexpress drops those 12% off coupons

or not aliexpress

[random junco]

ryzen 5 7600x £116 amazon

offer ended an hour ago though

[steel umbra]

as for motherboard b650m hdv/m.2, b650/m pro rs, b650/m pg lightning, b650 livemixer, b650m ds3h, b650 eagle/gaming, b850m pro rs are fine

[unborn oxide]

wdym

[steel umbra]

where are you buying from

[unborn oxide]

Germany

[random junco]

..

[steel umbra]

website

[unborn oxide]

cyberport

120€

actually

[steel umbra]

sounds better

[unborn oxide]

it's also on amazon 118

[steel umbra]

neat

[unborn oxide]

ok cpu 118€

also if it's little over budget it's alright

by like 20€

[steel umbra]

for ram buy a kit of 6000mt/s cl30 atleast 2x16gb or 2x24gb

not 4x8gb or 4x16gb or 1x24gb for example

[unborn oxide]

ddr4 or 5

[steel umbra]

ddr5

as for ssd i'd buy like western digital blue

smaller manufacturers tend to swap out parts in the nvmes

[limpid dune]

idea: DDR5 DIMMs except they use SRAM instead of DRAM

• probably maxes out at 12GB per DIMM given current DRAM sizes
• probably around $500 for each DIMM
• probably still the same maximum frequencies of ~8600MT/s or so
• CAS latency of ONE cycle

[steel umbra]

it's annoying asf when they downgrade your controller

and you're unaware customer

[steel umbra]

cheap

[unborn oxide]

should i go to ebay for ram?

[tidal geyser]

nah

[unborn oxide]

the cheapest ddr5 2x16gb 6000mhz cl30 i found is 87€

[limpid dune]

sure, but be careful to test the RAM and be careful when reading the listing, given they lie

[unborn oxide]

@steel umbra

[tidal geyser]

well yea that is about where it is new

[unborn oxide]

expensive ashell

[tidal geyser]

you have seen the price of the cpu you are buying right?

and all the other parts

[unborn oxide]

119€

[tidal geyser]

the 7500f is more then that?

[unborn oxide]

why the ram as expensive as cpu

[unborn oxide]

no

[tidal geyser]

gib me the ali link

[tidal geyser]

127 euro

[unborn oxide]

🙏 🙏

i don't count shipping when making a build

so what's next

cpu 120€
ram 87€

[tidal geyser]

anyways its not a lot for ram

[azure topaz]

cannot be serious

[unborn oxide]

does the cas latency matter?

[tidal geyser]

very nice

[unborn oxide]

worth going for 36cl?

[tidal geyser]

not a lot

can be yea

[steel umbra]

that one error can heheh you system

[unborn oxide]

ok then ram 90€

[tidal geyser]

whoospe

[odd marsh]

agony

[steel umbra]

cl30 is not much more expensive ib

[unborn oxide]

@steel umbra cpu 120€ ram 90€

790€ left

[vestal sonnet]

hey

[unborn oxide]

what's next

[tidal geyser]

omfg mans gonna be building a pc part by part

[steel umbra]

,.

[tidal geyser]

are you on phone?

[steel umbra]

gpu

[unborn oxide]

yes

like i said building my first pc

[tidal geyser]

are you blind or just ignorant as we literally have have a channel NAMED build a pc

[steel umbra]

7900 xt, 7900xtx, 4070 super, 4070 ti, 4070 ti super, 5070, 5070 ti, 9070 xt, 3090/ti / used

[unborn oxide]

yes I'm very blind

[steel umbra]

i mean better than whatever we do uhhh

[unborn oxide]

i js realized

[azure topaz]

yeah actively ending it all

[steel umbra]

better than brainrot posting

[steel umbra]

anyways, last thing i recommend is buying an A or B tier psu, check in spl psu tierlist

[stiff sonnet]

Yo, my pc boots with 1 ram stick but not with the other, I recently upgraded CPUs. It booted with 1 stick so I thought the issue was resolved till I put the other stick in. Any help?

[left dove]

reseat cpu

[unborn oxide]

since when is there a and b tier psu

[left dove]

since like 5 years ago

[stiff sonnet]

Cpu boots fine

[azure topaz]

just do it

[stiff sonnet]

Pc works good with 1 stick

[left dove]

clearly not if its missing a memory channel.

[azure topaz]

just do it bro

[steel umbra]

if you remove the first stick and place second stick in the same dimm does it work?

[azure topaz]

inspect the socket inspect the cpu itself

[stiff sonnet]

Something about memory training am5 shit

[azure topaz]

the cpu, unsurprisingly also has to communicate with the ram

[stiff sonnet]

Okay I try

[left dove]

wild thought, right

[steel umbra]

i've also had weird issues with ddr5 not booting with two sticks due to memory training shite

[stiff sonnet]

Yes

[left dove]

are they in the right slots

[stiff sonnet]

Yes

[left dove]

are you sure

[stiff sonnet]

Im positive

[unborn oxide]

is the xfx rx-79tmbabf9 unlocked?

[left dove]

positive for what

silliness?

[stiff sonnet]

Trying 2nd slot smart

[steel umbra]

a2 b2 rite

[stiff sonnet]

Yes

[steel umbra]

there is a possibility of a dead stick

[stiff sonnet]

I just upgraded cpu I don’t think so

[steel umbra]

ah

my dead stick came doa

also looked like dead dim had a small dent on the connector so maybe shipping game but i'm not sure it was settle

maybe there was a crack i didn't see

[agile stag]

uber telling me i have 2 minutes left to bundle another store with my order for the past 15 mins hhhhh

[steel umbra]

650% heheh

[stiff sonnet]

If memory in b2 slot should boot or only a2?

[steel umbra]

i believe it's fine in either if you have one stick

shuffle the sticks around, if that does not work then reseat the cpu

[stiff sonnet]

Yeah prob seated cpu wrong cause b2 slot not booting

[agile stag]

they started at like 5 mins and then about 10 mins later they worked it down to like 1 or 2 or something like that it was funny

[steel umbra]

have you updated bios right

[stiff sonnet]

I was in windows normally with just 1 stick in a2

Detected new cpu everything

[agile stag]

also do you need to have your ram in both the gray slots and the black slots if you want both colors to work it looks confusing

[steel umbra]

i remember when teachers gave us a countdown in school, that if we won't be prepared in like 30 seconds to go outside we'll get an extra exam

and at 3 seconds they were doing like 2.5, 2, 1.5, 1, 0.5, 0.2 every 2-3 seconds

[azure wedge]

Are asus motherboards still having problems with 7800x3d?

[steel umbra]

less

[tidal geyser]

mans living 2 years back in time

[azure wedge]

im just getting back into pc building scene:)

[tidal geyser]

it was also a very small issue

[steel umbra]

only occasional explode or voltz hehe

[azure wedge]

just a casual boom

[stiff sonnet]

i put b2 stick in a2 slot, ram is good. bios ram memory issue or cpu?

[steel umbra]

does it work or not

[stiff sonnet]

yes

[steel umbra]

did b2 not work before

[stiff sonnet]

desktop on, but when both sticks in a2, b2 no post

i only have 1 stick in a2

ram is good, no dead

[steel umbra]

if b2 never posts reseat cpu

[left dove]

turn off the pc when removing stuff

just fyi

[steel umbra]

update windows while removing sticks heh

what could go wong

[stiff sonnet]

d1 ragebaiter

[left dove]

some people are genuinely that stupid in here, so

[steel umbra]

i had my mates clearing cmos when pc was running hmmmm

[left dove]

thats less bad

that's just throwing reset and wipe

[steel umbra]

they pressed a cmos reset button like 15 times when it was on

[left dove]

ehhh

[steel umbra]

atleast nobody shove a screwdriver inside a running psu

i've yet to see that

someone doing it unaware

[agile stag]

my beloved except the thing that im supposed to be rushing for is spending more money so im not too excited about it

also grr people will put skill into making things all just for it to lead to an alleged offering of a 500$ gift card

[fallen sky]

Holy fuck I still can’t install wifi drivers

[grizzled frost]

your sign to use ethernet

[fallen sky]

there’s no tv in my room

[south arrow]

Whats your mobo moose?

[fallen sky]

I’m getting my monitors from my other home tomorrow

[fallen sky]

Wifi driver v600 ❤️ (second option under drivers wireless)

[steel umbra]

i assume windows reinstall is not an option right if you can't get working wifi drivers

[fallen sky]

I just read a thread about needing to install the second newest driver

I’ll try this

[steel umbra]

that also could be causing your issue

[fallen sky]

Yep

[south arrow]

Get it downloaded unzip, then run the setup or exe wait a few seconds easy enough then can delete

[fallen sky]

I did oobe\bypassnro once more

This is annoying

[south arrow]

As of late i ran Local host sighn in but same same

[steel umbra]

in the worst case you can return your motherboard if you bought it retail

or is it used? after warranty?

[fallen sky]

its new

[steel umbra]

alr

non working drivers is a reason for return

[fallen sky]

OH MY GOD

[south arrow]

[fallen sky]

thanks ppl

What do I need to do for a new pc again

I don’t think the factory reset changed my bios settings right?

[south arrow]

Worth checking in bios, also update your gpu driver via its perspective app

Do windows updates before anything else

Then maybe turn off all startup apps except windows defender

Before and after everything else is installed

If you have a Samsung ssd do a magician update if applicable then can uninstall*

[fallen sky]

Nah TeamGroup

I love this company a ton

And of course there are a million windows updates

[south arrow]

That site has a few other drivers doesn't hurt and is just as easy to install if you want*

Nice to haves type deal

[fallen sky]

Which site

[south arrow]

The mobo drivers*

Like Bluetooth, chipset, etc

[fallen sky]

ye

[south arrow]

But otherwise you got this moose

[fallen sky]

Nice my internet is at a cool 500 Kbps

[steel umbra]

500 KILO ??

[fallen sky]

The smallest possible unit of internet measurement

[south arrow]

Just idling lol

[bright surge]

i want some shorter and more aesthetically pleasing cables

[steel umbra]

extension or straight from the psu

[fallen sky]

GG it says my pc can’t run the AMD setup

[bright surge]

straight from the PSU, i dont have ANY room for extensions, dont even have room to manage the stock cables, lol

[fallen sky]

Oh wait it’s probably because I’m also downloading every windows update ever

[south arrow]

Lol

Dont do anything till windows is done

[steel umbra]

bytes and bits, or take a bite

[south arrow]

Dont need it spazzing out and have rebooted once done

[fallen sky]

Im not patient

[tawny knoll]

im pretty sure almost every seasonic PSU has the same wiring positions, if needed you can check the website for compatibility

[steel umbra]

you gotta check the pin out for tx-1600

there is no other reliable way

[fallen sky]

kiloBITS

[bright surge]

they have two models of Prime TX1600 listed, lol
@steel umbra

[steel umbra]

no kilo, kilo is no longer meta, nothing is better

[fallen sky]

que

[steel umbra]

check which revision you have

[bright surge]

where would i find that info?

[fallen sky]

Thanks AMD

[steel umbra]

you absolutely don't want to put a cable that's incompatible

12v is scary where it doesn't belong

HELL NO, lol

the price earlier this year for my exact one was $550

[stiff sonnet]

I think I did hear some crunching when putting in cpu

[solar moat]

RIP users thinkiong they need i7 since min cpu listed is i7 3770 when they got i5 9400F

[agile stag]

you should get one its like a standard

i dont use mine that much but tvs are so unfathomably cheap everyone who wants one should have one

[fallen sky]

What money

[agile stag]

idk ive found them for free like a lot

otherwise 20$ gets you pretty far if you can get that

i spend 100 for a really really nice one but usually like 20-50 gets you a solid tv

and those uh trash 1366x768 24 inch walmart tvs font count god their existence is insulting to the price of tvs

but uh my last tv was 20$ and it was a 42 inch 1366x768 from 2008

[agile stag]

[steel umbra]

[agile stag]

the 100$ tv though dhdhdh its so luxurious its nice

[agile stag]

the 100$ tv doesnt have all the features you cant preheat it at a certain time but it still does good

[foggy schooner]

i have a 2022 zephyrus g14, i opened it up and replaced the thermal paste a few days ago, the temps improved quite a bit and everything was fine. the fans were still pretty dusty tho and the bearings were worn out, so i got new fans. after i opened it up again and replaced them today, the battery stopped working. now it only powers on while its plugged in and if i unplug it while its running, it immediately shuts down. i was careful and i did the same exact thing i did the first time except i changed the fans. anyone know what the problem might be?

the fans and the laptop work perfectly while plugged in

[agile stag]

get batteryinfoview or whatever

did you let the battery die

it could also have a loose connector

batteryinfoview is fire though

[wanton trail]

@brittle coyote

[brittle coyote]

Time for a new pc mate

If its powering off theres many issues

Main would be the psu going out

[timber sun]

Started a lil project, overtime when I’m done it’ll replace “explorer.exe” it’ll inc emulators and Roms too (you’ll need install then yourself) but it’ll find all games, I hopefully can do same for videos, pictures and music and have it kinda like kodi. What y’all think?

[fallen sky]

Time to get a desk off of marketplace 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[brittle coyote]

Real

[wanton trail]

Other than psu, what else

[swift moss]

maybe i need ask grok WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK THESE js NAMES MEAN FFS

[brittle coyote]

I mean if its been working fine without issue in the past id say only the psu then

[agile stag]

real

also gr i think ill try and bring my favorite case through tsa and if i can then ill make a silver build

otherwise,,, ill adapt...

[wanton trail]

Yea no issues then black out

[brittle coyote]

Then powers off?

You said it blacks and powers off

[wanton trail]

Yep

[brittle coyote]

Then psu

[wanton trail]

Ok thanks

[brittle coyote]

If it js blacks out THEN it would the gpu or a bad hdmi cable

But like i said its better just get a new pc

[tawny knoll]

Lmao thats cooked

[brittle coyote]

Like a cheap thing

[bright surge]

is annoying, yeah, lol

[foggy schooner]

i might have had battery or could’ve been powered on when i disconnected the battery connector

and i disconnected the ram first cuz thats what it did in the tutorial

[fallen sky]

[azure topaz]

i agree 🫡🫡🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

[foggy schooner]

@plain cypress could you check this since it seems you also have the same zephyrus g14

do u think not properly powering off the device before removing ram/battery connector could've caused it

[dapper dragon]

Its fine

[fallen sky]

Ew

[formal sonnet]

What do you mean "not properly powering off the device" ... you did shut the system down, right?

[foggy schooner]

im pretty sure i did 💀

doesn't removing the battery connector turn the device off either way

if its not plugged in

[latent pasture]

u tried reseating the battery yet

[foggy schooner]

yeah a few times

well i didnt take the battery out

just the connector

[reef osprey]

when i used to work at an msp/hosting provider and we had a (usually) terrible client meeting where sales promised everything to the client in 20 mins, we'd call in other members of our team and be like, "Cmon charlie, come to candy mountain, cmon, it'll be fun"
