[vale wing]

you opening your pc while its on for the first time

[near coral]

I just spent xoxo amount of money and it looks like it's all down the drain

What am I doing with my life

[vale wing]

having fun!

[near coral]

Mom says I should use the internet less

Maybe she's right

[vale wing]

dude i love my pc rn but it sometimes does a weird bluescreen thing

but i can play videogames again

[near coral]

Thoughts that go throw everybody's mind when they bulid a new pc

[vale wing]

i just do it and have no regrets

i upgraded everything i could without spending a fortune

[near coral]

Pov when the POST takes a little longer and you have a mini heart attack

[vale wing]

16GB DDR4 -> 32GB DDR4 and 1TB SSD (it corrupted itself) to 2TB SSD

modern ssd speeds are absolutely absurd

i can download 20gb games in the matter of 10 minutes

[random junco]

role-less people

[near coral]

This is the issue with SSD storage that weirdly doesn't happen with HDDs

[near coral]

If you delete and download alot of files on an SSD it will die after a few years of doing that

[vale wing]

if i ever hear someone talking down to me here because i dont have "roles" im wearing them to my next shift at work

[vale wing]

the glorious 10 year old western digital hdd:

[random junco]

white name tag

[near coral]

17 yr old 60gb wdg

[near coral]

Iykyk

[vale wing]

god provides in mysterious ways

[near coral]

Still fucking works

[vale wing]

i have a pc that has so many issues for no reason

like why did my ssd die like that

im theseus shipping my pc

i have a new ssd, psu and ram

my ram didnt have any issues its just a no brainer to upgrade 16gb to 32gb

i got mine for like $50 about a year ago

[random junco]

i feel colorblind

[vale wing]

im on a ddr4 machine so

im chilling

[peak raft]

bro. wtaf is this!?

[random junco]

hdr

[peak raft]

ik but why is it worse when its on

what about a cable issue

[random junco]

steel? Or steal

[peak raft]

i dont really see whats awesome about it so far

that looks good

this does not look good at all though. what exactly does hdr do?

so like more colors or something?

i have a dp 1.4 coming soon

except my settings screen

yeah

did you see the other screenshot? the one you had to download

well hang on

ceiling imo

2nd if youre looking for adrenaline

[steel umbra]

mi bunni died :c

[peak raft]

this is w/o

[steel umbra]

☹️

caught cold?, didn’t want to eat and it was weekend

so no vet available

[cold skiff]

I understand your handle now

How 3rd world you talking?

Like syria 3rd world is different to India 3rd world

[sleek ibex]

[cold skiff]

Like Morocco poor or Sudan poor?

[sleek ibex]

مصر

[cold skiff]

So Morocco poor

We buy a lot of your fresh produce. We want more here in the UK. You guys do alright in Egypt, we like your nation. Hard working

Well the UK and US helped develop most of it to be fair

Shit don’t grow in your country easily

Getting berries to grow in 2 inches of mud on top of sand is a pretty top achievement though

You have a surplus of fresh because your logistics is pretty horrible internally.

[peak raft]

OKAY. i got it finally

[steel umbra]

yeah my bad i should’ve invested more time searching for nonstop vets, i was looking at 20 different vets and all of them were closed so i gave up

[cold skiff]

Ukraine could open that door for you one day, if that dispute ever settles.

[tulip sparrow]

sighs Looks like my Samsung tablet needs to charge before I can transfer it to the new Lenovo one

[cold skiff]

God forbid you need to charge a device to use it

[strange atlas]

Is it possible to remove rgb from headphones?

It has rgb it really bothers me bad

[cold skiff]

Open it up. Pull the LEDs

[strange atlas]

what am i gonna do with cables just tuck it in?

[cold skiff]

They’ll be soldered. No cables.

[strange atlas]

aight thank you

[quick stag]

That's actually impressive.

[peak raft]

what model? you might be able to use like signalrgb or your manufacturer's rgb software and turn it off

[cold skiff]

And if you do have cables. Well it don’t matter, they were there to begin with

Go back the same

[peak raft]

@near coral

[strange atlas]

cheapest headphone so probably not :d "GamePower Voldon 7.1"

[peak raft]

signalrgb might still detect it

idk ive never used it

[cold skiff]

GamePower Volden. Sounds just cheap enough you can wait.. how does RGB affect you while you use them?

[strange atlas]

actually the cheapest headphone on platform

[cold skiff]

I can’t imagine you can see that

[strange atlas]

Not while use them but setup looks awful when i put it on the desk

at least without rgb it will look more bearable

[cold skiff]

Black tape

[strange atlas]

Have you seen headphone prices 😄

[cold skiff]

Just cut out black tape and put it over it

[peak raft]

🤮

[zinc widget]

Anyone know how to take the armor off an X670 Taichi

[strange atlas]

Might not be the worse idea thank you

[zinc widget]

I thought I got enough screws off but it still won’t come off

[cold skiff]

It’s a janky idea. It works though.

[strange atlas]

i also have a job but i live in turkey 😄

[cold skiff]

Buys a stupidly expensive motherboard. Doesn’t want what makes it stupidly expensive.

[strange atlas]

way better

[cold skiff]

I dunno

You both live in places poor af that oppress their people

[strange atlas]

i mean we get paid 458 dollars a month?

[cold skiff]

I guess Turkish people can go to Germany

Egyptian people only really have Russia as an option

[sleek ibex]

Germany also has a large Syrian diaspora

[strange atlas]

oh what would you recommend me getting than

50 dollars? or so

[cold skiff]

Not your dentists. They’re uber rich giving the British public new teeth

[strange atlas]

and hair transplant 😄

[cold skiff]

And new noses. Turkish plastic surgeons are rich too

[strange atlas]

amazon.com.tr

[cold skiff]

No wonder Egyptian hotels give no shit for tourist safety. Monthly salary is like one night of a family holiday

I’d not care if I was serving people my daily wage for 1 beer too

[tulip sparrow]

That is the issues I have been using it LOL

It is at 10% from me using it today and hence why I got a new tablet

Besides the old one being sluggish and crashing a lot

[cold skiff]

Electronics in turkey are like in Scandinavia… massive taxes on them

[strange atlas]

Thats what i'm saying

i belive only our taksi's are likes to scam not sure anything other then that

[cold skiff]

Tbfh the worst thing in your country is hygiene. Those bank notes are likely to sprout a new form of life one day

[strange atlas]

Yeah headphones are means kulaklık by the way

[cold skiff]

Yes. Egyptian bank notes are literally cesspits of bacteria and dirt

[strange atlas]

Çıkartılabilir kablo

But you are not getting anything like that in this budget :d

[frosty oriole]

Do I need a new phone battery?

[strange atlas]

i can buy it but is it nice do you know anything about it

[cold skiff]

What is important taxes like?

[strange atlas]

I mean i could squeeze some budget but i would still have to get an bluetooth adaptor

What is this brand for it 👉 👈

[rustic glacier]

anyone reccomend any specific 1440p monitors with 240hz for like $300 bucks

[strange atlas]

Okay thank you

[trim gyro]

Gigabyte M27Q-X

[rustic glacier]

what panel?

[trim gyro]

IPS

[rustic glacier]

how much more would it be for oled

i have been using this same 1080 144hz monitor for 7 years and its time to upgrade

[trim gyro]

on a good day, an extra $100, but right now typically an extra $170-$250

cheapest OLED was $399, but that was on a sale

right now it's $480 or some like that

[rustic glacier]

you think its worth waiting? i leave for college in a month

i got this zenbook with a oled display and i was blown away

[trim gyro]

up to you

[rustic glacier]

hmm gives me smth to think about

i could always get one and later down the road get a oled one and just have a unnecessarily good 2nd display

[trim gyro]

my next desktop monitor is definitely going to be OLED

[rustic glacier]

i didnt know just how tuff oled was til i got this laptop

idk what the move is

[strange atlas]

I found this headphones also is this nice Behringer HPM1100U

[rustic glacier]

i found a lg ultragear 27 inch oled 1440p for 400 on ebay

is that a good deal

[trim gyro]

is it new or used
what's their reason for selling
does the seller have 97%+ positive reviews
does the seller accept returns
do they pay for the returns

[rustic glacier]

used, idk, yes, yes, yes

said there are small scratches but not noticable when on

[trim gyro]

I suggest buying new, especially since you'll be using monitors for a long time

a brand new OLED is only $80 more than $400 right now

last thing I'd want is regretting spending $400 only to get a scratched monitor that I might end up using for years

[rustic glacier]

yeah

[hexed tapir]

Used monitors might have dead pixels and that's why they want to sell it

[trim gyro]

I don't think they really care about the audio quality if their headset budget is $18

[strange atlas]

What about Sennheiser HD 206

And i do use sound card its behringer umc 22

Not the best but not the worst either

Using it with my guitar and phone headphones

gotcha thank you

[frigid blade]

Pretty cool

Its not very long but

Thats the flight estimation for the parts ive picked for my rc plane

low throttle during data collection (loitering) with an avg current of 6A would last about 40 minutes

The cheap setup would be sub $200 it looks like, which is nice

[fallen sky]

Lovely precision boost overdrive

[frigid blade]

laptop?

[fallen sky]

huh

[frigid blade]

what is it

[fallen sky]

a desktop

[frigid blade]

nvm then, reminded me of something I had as an issue on a laptop

[fallen sky]

Finished building it a few days ago

But it’s at 10% average usage and my RAM is at 23% usage

Is that just because I overclocked them

I’m only downloading a game rn

[swift moss]

i love staring at nothing

[frigid blade]

so sigma

[hexed tapir]

Boomer gpu

[gentle kestrel]

isn’t that a zen 2 cpu box

is the feeling regret

[somber mason]

Anyone have a server where I can ask for fpv recommendations

[frigid blade]

r/fpv

Me when trying to learn and understand ee:

[frosty oriole]

What does that make my 2080 Ti?

[gentle kestrel]

unc status

[sharp hazel]

https://www.youtube.com/live/Cg_wJ4NZHgg?si=k9gpatC2w8Y5GgYt
come watch this guy build this computer, its terrifying. hes building his test setup and has a 5090 astral and im trying my hardest to prevent him from blowing up this computer.

[frosty oriole]

I mean, it is faster than a 3070 Ti.

[sharp hazel]

i have never been so scared watching a strema before

[frosty oriole]

I'm just extremely CPU-bound.

[gentle kestrel]

is it

i'd count that roughly in the same class of card honestly

[frosty oriole]

When overclocked, yes.

[hexed tapir]

First gen ray tracing boomer

[hexed tapir]

Just make the 3070ti run out of vram by playing at high settings 1440p ez win for the 2080ti

[gentle kestrel]

who plays games with rt on

[frosty oriole]

I do.

[gentle kestrel]

i got the 5070ti to play a 2013 mmo like jensen intended

[frosty oriole]

I play with path tracing enabled on my 2080 Ti in Cyberpunk.

I also play with maxed-out RT settings while playing Wrench in VR.

I just wish my 3950X didn't hold it back so much.

[floral heron]

hi can anyone help me? my pc keep crashing

[sharp hazel]

hes now using a knife to remove the plastic on the gpu. this hurts.

[elder quarry]

I already watched pewdiepie

[sharp hazel]

lol

its worse than that because his gpu is 3700$+ and like 4200$+ if he got it from a scalper.

he also was trying to plug in his PSU cables while the power supply was still on.

[swift moss]

😭

[frosty oriole]

Disks.

[warm slate]

Is the Meta Quest 3S worth it?

[swift moss]

wierdest website catalog i have ever seen

[quaint mesa]

how accurate is uerbenchmark comparisons?

[odd marsh]

they are a joke

[quaint mesa]

oh so is the 14600K better than Ryzen7 9700x or no?

[sleek ibex]

UBM even got banned on r/Intel........

That should tell you all you need to know. Even the company that UBM glazes over thinks they are clowns

[frosty oriole]

Here's 3 different reviewers' benchmarks, and then UserBenchmark.

Hmm...

[plain cypress]

I think 12400F was available for like $80 over prime day

userbenchmark is such a meme tho

UBM and MLID should hangout

[swift moss]

uh oh level max

[rose stream]

Their 9800X3D page having the link for attempting to explain the heavy criticism of them just makes it actually funny somewhat.

Like "here's the review, everything is actually good (for once out of AMD) except for the price value, which is trashy. Oh btw, here's our take for everyone else's take for why we deserved to get ripped a new one by the entire Internet".
Lmao.

[swift moss]

bruyhhh

[frosty oriole]

MLID was somewhat reliable when the 30-Series came out, but man, they just began parroting anything and everything they've heard since.

[frosty oriole]

Lol, yeah, it's rough.

[plain cypress]

according to MLID arc has been killed 30 times at this point

[frosty oriole]

Lol, yeah.

[split grove]

Does anyone here know about ESP Microcontroller modules and Arduino?

[odd marsh]

we still breathing bb

[odd marsh]

you ever play ewok hunt

[swift moss]

yeah

[odd marsh]

sweet

so fun

[swift moss]

lol yeah

[odd marsh]

it's just zombies but way better, those ewoks can be terrifying

[swift moss]

OGAT type shit

i used to ROCK that game out

nobody playing it anymore

[odd marsh]

i would play but I am playing RDR2 lol

[trim gyro]

I can see it being valued at $1000

[swift moss]

lol if u wan lmk when u done im down, but yeah idrm

[rustic glacier]

4k ips or 1440p oled?

i just remembered i have a 200 microcenter giftcard

😎😎

[swift moss]

people just camping in endor cave uhh

[empty quartz]

Depends

What refresh rate, and what do you normally do on your pc

And what gpu

[rustic glacier]

lightish gaming mostly some vr (which isnt impacted), school work soon computer engineering major, and 7800xt

the 1440p was 240hz and the 4k is 160hz

both of which r fine

[arctic kettle]

bf2?

[swift moss]

indeed

[arctic kettle]

So true.

[normal maple]

A microcenter is opening where I live this year. Should I wait for that before building a gaming PC? I heard the prices are good at microcenter and that they usually have grand opening deals. I am 1000% willing to camp out in a parking lot.

[plain cypress]

phoenix?

[normal maple]

Yes. Why?

[plain cypress]

just guessing lol

they're opening 10 years too late :(

[normal maple]

You live in the Phoenix area or did you just Google what is opening?

[plain cypress]

by the time i had money, frys electronics was dying hard

[plain cypress]

born and raised, but moved away

[normal maple]

They sucked even before they died

[plain cypress]

no no, the microcenter is opening in the same strip mall I used to work at

[normal maple]

Jeez

Anyways, would it be smart to try and wait for the microcenter to open?

[plain cypress]

i heard it used to be fine, but i didn;t go until 2016 and they were kinda crap then
by 2019 they were all but in the ground

[plain cypress]

do you need a computer now or in 4 months

also sometimes best buy will price match microcenter

newegg occasionally has reasonable bundles

[normal maple]

Not a gaming PC. I have other things to keep me occupied. However, I do need a new laptop. I'm not waiting for that.

[plain cypress]

in that case may as well wait

I always recommend buying laptops from costco if you have a membership

[normal maple]

My plan is a 2 in 1 laptop for most things, then an sff 4k gaming PC build.

I want to be able to move the PC between a monitor and my TV

[plain cypress]

yep, costco still throws in a year of warranty on top of manufacturers for all laptops minus apple

[normal maple]

Also, I spend the summer with my mom while I'm not at school. So sff would be great for that.

Right now I'm waiting for my research advisor to respond with his PC specs before I buy my laptop. All he said it doesn't need to be powerful, but it shouldn't be super weak. Any super demanding code I write can be run on one of the stronger computers at the university.

We don't write code for GPU, so I figure as long as it has a decent processor, ram, and storage it should be fine.

[untold hornet]

Do i just say fuck it an buy it

[random gyro]

I remember laughing at the kids who spent all their financial aid money on macbooks to just use them to browse the internet

This was before chromebooks

[trim gyro]

macbooks still dominate college campuses

lenovo second

for every 20 macbooks you might see 1 thinkpad

[random gyro]

I had a $200 thinkpad with an i3 that could barely run tf2

but it lasted for ten years

[plain cypress]

damn

longest ive used a laptop for is 5 years

my freshman year xps 13 got outdated quick

dual core broadwell i5 wasn't cutting it a few years later

but the hardware of the computer help up quite well

[trim gyro]

my laptop is aging poorly

R7 6800U with 16gb RAM

[plain cypress]

just underpowered unfortunately

[ripe field]

bought a macbook on a whim since it was on sale
realizing im gonna be taking cybersecurity as my major next year

[gentle kestrel]

i've seen a total of 3 thinkpads on my university campus in 3 years, one was mine

[trim gyro]

you see more thinkpads in the engineering building

[gentle kestrel]

there is no engineering building

[trim gyro]

because autodesk programs don't play well with macbooks that well as windows

[gentle kestrel]

i'm in the computer one though so i'd share rooms with comp eng program

[plain cypress]

my school has an engineering campus lol

[gentle kestrel]

its usually macbooks, xps, or super cheap laptops

my campus bookstore sells laptops but the best one they have is an ideapad

[plain cypress]

io saw a lot of cheap "its a dell/hp/lenovo" style laptops

Asus laptops were more often than not gaming models

[ripe field]

real talk people should be buying used business laptops if they want something that lasts

[trim gyro]

there was a guy on my floor with a zephyrus g14 2024, very nice

[gentle kestrel]

the best selling laptop on my campus bookstore is a $360 dell inpsirion with some old mobile i3

there are 0 specs on this site

[plain cypress]

these days it would be hard to argue against a macbook air for most people

[gentle kestrel]

i like my 2023 but the battery kinda sucks on campus

[ripe field]

personally i feel like at full price its not really worth it

but on heavy discounts? sure why not

[plain cypress]

when i started college the macbook air was super outdated and we were beginning the dark days of jony ives portless macbook pros

[ripe field]

i bought my m2 brand new for like 700

[trim gyro]

sale + apple student discount

[plain cypress]

i got my m1 air at launch for the $900 edu price

[gentle kestrel]

yeah with the edu discount that's what i told my sister to get

m4 air with the fully enabled die

[plain cypress]

256gb feeling a bit stale these days tho

[ripe field]

i could’ve sprung up for an m4, but decided to just get an older m2 since i dont really do much anyway

[trim gyro]

might as well be the same thing

I'm waiting for a new iPad Pro

the newest iPad Pro is too thin unfortunately

[plain cypress]

i remember a TA in my engineering 101 class asking "what I needed so much storage for" when i was commenting my 256gb xps 13 was almost full 💀

[ripe field]

tbf 256gb is livable if you know how to manage it

[trim gyro]

as long as the ssd is replaceable

[ripe field]

im still down to 185gb free and thats all with my documents and apps

[gentle kestrel]

i have the weird edu only m1 air

8/128gb

[ripe field]

my condolences

[plain cypress]

livable? sure
ideal for also having games on my laptop cause I didn't have a desktop my first couple months of college? nope

[gentle kestrel]

i only use it around the house so it's fine

[plain cypress]

wait

[plain cypress]

the fuck?

[gentle kestrel]

yeah it's a special education model

for when 256gb was too liveable

[ripe field]

good thing mac cant play games

no fun allowed get back to work

[plain cypress]

was it even sold at normal retail or did you have to buy it from an institution

[gentle kestrel]

i got it off ebay with my tax return

it was only sold in volume to schools

[ripe field]

128gb is diabolical when macos alone takes up 25gb

[random gyro]

If i was a non engineering student id just use a chrome book

[gentle kestrel]

yeah it's basically an apple chromebook

which is all i needed but the storage is rough

[random gyro]

Or a surface tablet

and use the rest on a steam deck lol

[frosty oriole]

Steam Deck mentioned.

[plain cypress]

i knew a girl who had a nicer laptop she used at home, but took a chromebook to class because "i am guaranteed to drop it down the stairs at some point"

chromebooks certainly serve a purpose

[random gyro]

worthwhile gaming handhelds didnt exist while i was in college so you had to have a good enough laptop

or at least being able to play games from your steam library

[drowsy oak]

the pc is done finally

[plain cypress]

i played a lot of war thunder on intel HD4000 back then

[rigid ether]

Same, my phone is more expensive than my laptop

[plain cypress]

okay daniel

[random gyro]

I think i had a slideout keyboard phone in college

[drowsy oak]

that's not my name

[plain cypress]

hmmm

[gentle kestrel]

why did you mark out the pill bottle instead of just moving it

that's gotta be more effort

[random gyro]

You could have such a sick gaming setup for cheap in college now

Im jealous

[ripe field]

this thing carried me a lot before i got m2

now it lives in my closet

[rigid ether]

Nathaniel?

[random gyro]

Ltt video idea: budget gaming for college

his son will be there eventually

[drowsy oak]

My name is in fact not danial

[rigid ether]

Nice name

[drowsy oak]

I don’t like it

[plain cypress]

thaniel

[rigid ether]

Its unique

[drowsy oak]

I’m probably going to legally change it eventually

[rigid ether]

To Daniel?

[drowsy oak]

To sunny

[plain cypress]

change it to jimmy neutron

[ivory mountain]

in the time it took to cover the medicine bottle u coulda just moved it

[drowsy oak]

My name is also not pronounced like Daniel it’s pronounced « sunny-elle »

[drowsy oak]

Yeah but I didn’t feel like it

[random gyro]

Me whenever someone says "GaMiNg PC" instead of "Desktop Computer":

[rigid ether]

Or just say "Desktop PC"

[random gyro]

i have gotten tired of all those modern fortnite content farms that say "Gaming PC"

[solar moat]

i wonder if 5300G going to be ok upgrade to my cpu

[plain cypress]

what do u have

[solar moat]

some random quad core for 2013

[somber mason]

Any keyboard nerds on?

[upbeat blaze]

Kinda in a pickle anyone go pro users here

[steady widget]

i do some camera stuff whats up?

[upbeat blaze]

Im at a convention and I need to get all of the footage off of my go pro onto my phone to a ssd

Or off the go pro to a ssd

[steady widget]

what go pro is it?

[upbeat blaze]

13 black

Hero 13 black

[steady widget]

what phone do you have

[upbeat blaze]

iPhone 15 base model

[steady widget]

i mean few options, you can try the go pro app and download from there
Use a USB-C to micro sd card reader to download the files to your phone then put them on the SSD

[tight lotus]

I’m planning on upgrading my Gtx 980 to a 2070 super you reckon it’s worth it?

[upbeat blaze]

Let me see what I can do I’m trying to transfer stuff off of the go pro app onto the ssd but idk how to get the files over

[steady widget]

figure out what your budget is to upgrade then figure out the best GPU from there, but yeah anything modern compared to a 980 is prety good

[steady widget]

save the photos on to your phone, then select them and hit share, files, then select the SSD

[upbeat blaze]

My phone thinks the go pro is a Ethernet connection lol

[upbeat blaze]

Will try

[tight lotus]

Yeah.. tbf my gf only plays sims and BG3 and it runs then perfectly fine, my budget is £200. Issue is that she’s got a 550w psu it’s a 80+ gold rated mind you but I’ve also gotta consider the cards tdp

[zinc widget]

Shit that makes you wanna say hell yeah

[steady widget]

do you have the go pro quik app

[upbeat blaze]

Yea I have the premium too

[steady widget]

connect it wired then open the quik app and see if it recognizes it

it says in the manual it should

[upbeat blaze]

Yup

It’s working let let clear my storage real quick and I will let you know if I get it

[zinc widget]

lol I’ve got a 10gbe dongle when I get my 16 pro imma try plugging it in

[steady widget]

cool good luck :>

[zinc widget]

I didn’t want to put a 10gbe pcie card in my gaming desktop

So USB4 to 10GBE it is

[steady widget]

yeah check online, that jawa site that they promoted before honestly isnt bad if you check it kinda regularly some people post good deals and they have a good return policy

[random gyro]

How do i remove motherboard drivers from a boot drive when i get a new motherboard without reinstalling windows?

[steady widget]

it should honestly be able to figure it out itself and be fine, but if theres any issues can look in device manager

[random gyro]

Oh cool

Never done that yet so i have no clue wanna make sure its not as rocks fall everyone dies like it is with gpu drivers

[steady widget]

yeah its a pain lol

[south arrow]

miku intensifies

Didn't know it was a whole line

[random gyro]

Bout to join the penguin people atp

[steady widget]

Theres a hatsune miku car (kinda) by taft

and then they plushified the car

Lol

[high halo]

When is nvidia gonna pull support from the gtx series?

[grizzled frost]

when people stop using them

[high halo]

Nah bc I heard nvidia is pulling driver support

[grizzled frost]

“sometime in 2026” is what i’ve found

specifically the gtx 700, 900, and 10 series gpus

more specifically maxwell, pascal, and volta gpus

[high halo]

How about the 16 series?

And also 10 series? So the 1080 ti?

[trim gyro]

1080 ti is 10 series yes

I think 16-- is still new enough to get driver updates

[high halo]

Phew

Bc I still have the 1650

[grizzled frost]

not included in the provided list

[high halo]

Phew

Then im good

[grizzled frost]

for now

[high halo]

Valid

Can't upgrade to win11 tho

[grizzled frost]

unrelated to gpu

you can run windows with no gpu at all, not even an IGPU

well it boots, but is unusable

[high halo]

Ik but overall my pc cant support it

But tbh the 10 series is kinda old like how old is it? 10 years?

[grizzled frost]

9 years

the 1060 is still ranked twelfth in the steam hardware survey

as of june 2025

[sinful cobalt]

dead type of old

[agile stag]

its semi official im getting a new laptop for my birthday

[hushed tapir]

So I reset my windows 10 install on a dual boot system with windows 11. Will these steps work to fix the bootloader

[grizzled frost]

#1027757333117415424

[latent pasture]

why do all that shit when u can just unplug all other storages when installing windows

[grizzled frost]

also maybe follow an actual guide instead of AI slop

[agile stag]

i had a framework but the board had issues so i switched to a t410 temporarily but it was so good im gonna get a P50

and maybe manifest the framework into working

[latent pasture]

ur already resetting windows anyway, why not just install it in a manner that avoids the issue entirely

[hushed tapir]

That’s not how dual booting works in my case. They are on the same drive

[latent pasture]

pay $50 to dualboot with 0 issues

[grizzled frost]

#1027757333117415424

[fallen sky]

has valid win 11 pro key
enters win 11 pro key
gets told it isn’t a valid win 11 pro key

Love it

[hushed tapir]

I put it in tech support.

[clear canyon]

Use alternative way

[fallen sky]

What would that be

[clear canyon]

Mmmm... ltt made a video on it but bc of the stupid rules here, i cant directly say it

[trim gyro]

if you bought it from a legitimate seller, that shouldn't be an issue 🤔

[fallen sky]

it was my backup key from my old pc

[clear canyon]

I sent dm

[fallen sky]

wait a damn minute did I just give my friend my win 11 key

when I sold my pc

[clear canyon]

Why not use ur current one

[fallen sky]

It’s not working

[tawny knoll]

Hey tech chat 1

[clear canyon]

Explode

[tawny knoll]

My 7900xt is showing purple/grey artifacting sometimes when im web-browsing, should i be concerned or should i just reinstall drivers

[clear canyon]

Is it at stock speeds

Or is it OCed

[tawny knoll]

Yeah

Its stock

[clear canyon]

Then ur gpu is possibly dying, try reinstalling gpu drivers

[tawny knoll]

I only downloaded MSI afterburner so i can run fans faster to keep the memory cooler than 90°

[tawny knoll]

Sick.

[tawny knoll]

7900xt reference card moment

[clear canyon]

Yeah, hope you have warranty

[tawny knoll]

i just bought it a month ago

so yeahh thats fun

[clear canyon]

Unfortunate

[split laurel]

Bro I have the same problem on my 9070xt gigabyte card

Vram runs really hot

[tawny knoll]

Kms bro

[split laurel]

Damn

I've seen that with a old gtx 1080 and it was bad

[split laurel]

Do you still have warranty

[tawny knoll]

Yeah

[latent pasture]

3090 110c on the uncooled back vram moment

[tawny knoll]

Im also running windows 10 on 9000 series CPU so could that be an issue?

[latent pasture]

no

[tawny knoll]

damn

[fallen sky]

Rate the setup

[trim gyro]

your monitor should be at eye level, so you must be very short

[fallen sky]

I bought a desk

It’s arriving Tuesday

[paper pelican]

Guys should I go DDR4 or DDR5,on a budget but DDR5 parts are looking as cheap as ddr4

[fallen sky]

well how much of a budget

[paper pelican]

Around 250-300 for whole pc (already have peripherals)

[fallen sky]

Are you joking

[paper pelican]

Don't need gpu

[fallen sky]

tf you mean you don’t need one

[paper pelican]

I won't do gaming

[fallen sky]

no editing? No rendering?

[paper pelican]

Nope

Just programming

[tawny knoll]

Should i update to windows 11 if im using a 9000 series cpu?

[paper pelican]

Windows 10? Are u crazy

[split laurel]

Update??!

[tawny knoll]

mb windows 11

[split laurel]

Oh lol

I was gonna say😂

I actually like windows 11 more then 10

Unpopular opinion

[tawny knoll]

Funny thing is my GPU isnt artifacting at all when i'm gaming, its only when im browsing the web

[split laurel]

Huh

Maybe it is drivers

[tawny knoll]

I downgraded my drivers and now its gone

Sweet, i love AMD drivers.

[split laurel]

Nvidia has problems with drivers rn too

I've never had problems with amd drivers

[tawny knoll]

Yeah, drivers are finicky things

[split laurel]

And I've used amd for most my gaming time lol

[tawny knoll]

I just got an AMD card after only using decade old nvidia cards

[split laurel]

I also Daly drove first gen arc in 2024 and had no problems

[split laurel]

Nice

I've actually only had problems with Nvidia lmao

Mainly the 3090 fe

[tawny knoll]

man my idle board draw is wild low rn

Only 12w

[split laurel]

My card pulls 3× that on idle 😭

[tawny knoll]

wow lol

[rigid ether]

9070xt?

[sinful cobalt]

@gusty wagon take the entire thing out of the case my psu might not have long enough cables

[tawny knoll]

7900xt

[fallen sky]

?????? wtf

I think task manager is just a liar

[tawny knoll]

Always has been

[solar moat]

my i5 760 not doing 6.8ghz

but hay its funny

[stable topaz]

Not sure if best place to ask, but i am looking to buy sony tv and confused whats difference between xr100 and xr200 motion flow for 50hz

[sinful cobalt]

task manager to look at stats

[fallen sky]

I was ending apps bum

[sinful cobalt]

my point still stands

but yea ending apps is all tm is good for

[swift moss]

shredded the lobby

[iron glen]

idk, its also pretty good for checking whats eating up all your cpu or ram

[sinful cobalt]

i love the magical open tm and cpu jump to 100%

[iron glen]

yeees

[random gyro]

How big of a performance bump will i get getting a new cpu and a pcie 5.0 mobo with my 5070. Looking at a 7700x

[latent pasture]

from what

also the pcie 5.0 wont do much cuz it has x16 lanes anyway

[random gyro]

Just a 7600. Same ram same gpu just a motherboard with a 5.0 slot and a 8 core cpu

[latent pasture]

lmao 7600 to 7700x is waste

[hexed tapir]

Should've spent that extra money on a 5070ti

[random gyro]

Find me a 5070ti 2 months ago for 750

I got this pny 5070 for msrp. Came from a 2060 super

[hexed tapir]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/8PFCmG/gigabyte-windforce-sff-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-16-gb-video-card-gv-n507twf3-16gd k

[random gyro]

Try again

[hexed tapir]

You said 2 months ago

Hell the 9070xt has 5070 ray tracing performance and 5070ti raster for under $750 the past 4 months

[river harbor]

what does used ddr4 go for?

64 gb = 100 dollars?

little less?

[river harbor]

impossible to grt a 9070xt under 700 unfortunately

5070ti is not realistic at msrp either but atleast its possible

theres atleast a few drops at best buy or microcenter

9070xt though? no luck

[rigid ether]

9070 undervolt + overclock = 9070xt 👍

[river harbor]

5070ti also has lots of headroom

idk about the 5070 though

[rigid ether]

9070xt too

[river harbor]

yeah but as much as id like to hate on nvidia, dlss is more widely supported and still superior

at $600 the 9070xt is a no brainer but it was just fake msrp

[rigid ether]

At least Fsr4 is very close to dlss4

[river harbor]

kinda, less supported though

at $700 vs $750 5070ti wins

$700 vs $850 prob get the 9070 xt

5070ti is possible to get at msrp, not something you can rely on but they do have drops

[rigid ether]

9070xt undervolt + overclock = 5080 👍

[river harbor]

9070xt was $600 for a week

[river harbor]

so is a 5070ti

as much as you love amd, $700 9070xt cant compete with $750 5070 ti

at 700 vs 850 its different though

[rigid ether]

Lot more expensive though

In conclusion, wait for black friday 🔥

[river harbor]

at 700 vs 850 ye

700 vs 750 no

dont expect anything on black friday lmao

gpus never go on sale anymore 🥀🥀

prob wait for super refresh

[rigid ether]

Where I live, I've never seen that so far

It has always been 100 or more

[river harbor]

usa its rare but not impossible

[charred kiln]

Man I'm never ordering my filaments locally

[gilded harness]

i wish i could set that rog light to red

cuz red light looks pretty sick

[junior valve]

download armory crate or smt

[ripe spire]

Ur PC’s layout is very similar to mine

RGB wise too

[gilded harness]

https://tenor.com/view/speed-try-not-to-laugh-speed-dont-laugh-gif-9393628858940137350

[gilded harness]

awesome

[ripe spire]

Lmao

[gilded harness]

g360a?

[junior valve]

the rear fan isnt red

[ripe spire]

Yessir

[ripe spire]

His rear ROG light isn’t red either, checkmate

[junior valve]

or just disable the mobo rgb in bios

the build going well so far

[gilded harness]

I wish the front is glass instead of solid so i can see my rgb fans but id take it lmao

the only reason i picked this case because solid top

[ripe spire]

Lmao fair enough

[junior valve]

remove the front panel

[candid bolt]

Whats the best budget gpu? Budget is around 500 dollars, i currently have a 3060 ti 8gig

[slim saffron]

https://tenor.com/view/nvidia-gif-14251978375826396304

[warped island]

hello techchatters

been quite some time

[rigid ether]

5060ti 16gb

Or stretch to rx 9070

[rare pewter]

@warped island @junior valve idk who to ask here but do I need a 1 gig partition for the efi in arch linux

I'm in cfdisk rn

[unkempt mirage]

What should i upgrade first
Brakes: i have now the csl elite v2 pedals

Rig: i have now the f gt from nlr (if i upgrade ill get the f gt elite)

Gpu: i have the 3070 now ill get a 5070ti or something like that

What is your guys advice

[sinful cobalt]

upgrade gpu first

upgrading ur sim rig wont equal to performance right away u need practice

[unkempt mirage]

Yes thats true but i did not know because my sim is bit crack my base is it shaking lose slowly it isnt the biggest problem but i can upgrade some things now so its one of those

[sinful cobalt]

is ur 3070 still giving u enough power is the question

in a game like LMU and AC evo I dont think its sufficient

[unkempt mirage]

Ac evo no lmu yes its enough

[frigid topaz]

this is a digital game... how

[sinful cobalt]

i havent bought or tried lmu

but ac evo is hella taxxing on the gpu

[unkempt mirage]

Yep you cant even drive whit 15 other ai

[cold skiff]

Off center Intel OEM fan ftw

[sinful cobalt]

i tried the max amt of AI with heavy rain, my 4070 super at that time completely shat the bed

im talking single digit fps

[cold skiff]

He can also just buy mesh and magnet strips to replace the front panel. Just needs a small amount of easy DIY

[unkempt mirage]

I never even did the Rain now i am scared

[late path]

Can I fit a 5090 in a 90 inch case

[sinful cobalt]

but the graphics are so nice

[sinful cobalt]

depend which model and what case

[late path]

Custom 90 inch by 90 inch by 90 inch cube of metal spray painted black

[cyan latch]

Is 32 gigs of RAM enough now days usecase is gaming and editing

[gilded harness]

well unless

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[cyan latch]

Ahh ok

[sinful cobalt]

unless u have a FE or like the above waterblock, no

then again theres no design given

[late path]

I was joking but wow

[sinful cobalt]

jokes are meant to be funny

[late path]

Not everyone has the same humor

[sinful cobalt]

i dont see how a question like that is identified into any humor

[late path]

my shitty humor probably

[sinful cobalt]

off to #public-chat u go

[late path]

but I wanna talk about tech

[sinful cobalt]

they would very much welcome you

[late path]

what

[broken harbor]

which one should u buy, 9060 xt or 4060 ti? 16gb ofc

[late path]

Easily 9060 XT

[dreamy aspen]

do they have an hof edition tho?

[gilded harness]

i dont think HOF is out, yet

[dreamy aspen]

they have it but only as 5090d + costs 4740 euro

[sinful cobalt]

they have 5090d-

[dreamy aspen]

just googled for that from curiosity

https://www.ebay.pl/itm/127199508494?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=4908-166454-595607-3&mkcid=2&itemid=127199508494&targetid=2307379914843&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1031140&poi=&campaignid=21444639547&mkgroupid=167019663569&rlsatarget=pla-2307379914843&abcId=9467458&merchantid=5323159628&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21444639547&gbraid=0AAAAAo9ZJxuBFaubvSduoafdkknOSthlX&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI34Sm49W5jgMVXAqiAx1dVhkrEAQYBCABEgKsJPD_BwE

oh yeah i forgot that thing exists

[charred kiln]

autodesk fusion is making me hate corporations even more than I alr do

[gilded harness]

yeah i dont think theres waterblock versions of it

even aftermarket since uh

stupid 2 12vhpwr

or you can just

slab a 4090 waterblock to it lmao

[indigo basin]

minor imbalance of hardware usage

[round tinsel]

yo this might be a dumb question but would plugging my pc and monitor into a power strip which is plugged into another power strip with a lamp plugged in it cause my pc to restart randomly? i only have an rx 6600 and ryzen 5 5600

i got a psu that's b tier on the power supply tierlist btw

[cold skiff]

I mean he replied with something absurd. If you can’t recognise that as not serious ergo humour, whether you find it funny or not, that’s kind of on you.

[white sphinx]

What do you guys reckon is a decent price for a used 3080, 4-500$? 12gb

[cold skiff]

Power delivery is important. So yes, the answer is yes it will negatively impact.

[cold skiff]

Go for around £300 in the UK. So $400 sounds safe to me

[round tinsel]

alr ill just plug it into my wall then

thanks

[kindred halo]

What's this

Friend sent this to me

Kinda looks like a fan controller

[polar hamlet]

can someone pretty pls help with this its like every 2 mins i have already tried to verify steam files too

[cold skiff]

1 extension is fine. A couple sounds like a fire.

[cold skiff]

It is

[white sphinx]

Should be running a UPS anyways🔥

[cold skiff]

Depends where he lived I guess.

I mean UPS is only really needed for professional and areas with shitty unclean power

[white sphinx]

Tbh if he is worried about brownouts i feel like its a decent investment

[cold skiff]

Or if you’re paranoid I guess

[round tinsel]

alr lmao

[cold skiff]

I think I’ve had 1 power outage in 37 years of living in the UK. House wired correctly and no faults so I guess getting a UPS for my home rig would just be because I’m paranoid

[round tinsel]

unfortunately i can't afford one but i live in a pretty decent city with really rare power outages

[indigo basin]

my pc and server runs off 3 extensions

[kindred halo]

UPS' are something that's pretty good for making sure your PC doesn't just die from an outage but most people don't really care for them

[white sphinx]

Ive had lightning strike my house 3-4 times you never know

[kindred halo]

I'd buy one but probably not that important to me since usually it's just 2-3 hours of electricity and the rest is solar

[white sphinx]

Saved my bacon more than once

[cold skiff]

Damn that’s some bad luck

I’d be buying a UPS for my UPS if that was the case

[round tinsel]

yo where do you live man 😭

3-4 times is crazy

[kindred halo]

Copper house

[white sphinx]

North of Norway tbh

[cold skiff]

And maybe buying a big fk off lightning rod too

[white sphinx]

I have one😭

I upgraded after last time

[kindred halo]

Zeus Struck you down

[cold skiff]

I get that though, north Norway. That’s one heck of a place to get such storms.

[limber shale]

Does anyone know which mb does gigabyte h610m v3 share its pcb with?

Im planning on creating making a vrm cooler for my mb using old gpu heatsinks and 3d printed mounts

[white sphinx]

Yeah it doesnt help that trees barely grow, and we get a metric shitload of snow

[cold skiff]

I mean you can just buy cheap VRM heatsinks that will do the same job

Although on that board I’m not sure what benefit you will get to it

[limber shale]

i want it to last longer
and sometimes the vrms overheat and clock the cpu down

[cold skiff]

What CPU you running

[limber shale]

i5 12400f

the room temp is very high

31-33 c

[white sphinx]

Better investment: fans

And some cheap vrm heatsinks

[cold skiff]

Better investment would be a decent motherboard and fans

[sinful cobalt]

fk my mousepad is still drying

[cold skiff]

Why’s it wet

[sinful cobalt]

because i washed it

[limber shale]

I alr have this motherboard, and i have fans, they are mounted in the front

[sinful cobalt]

like a normal human being and not a degenerate

[cold skiff]

What does that have to do with why it’s wet or not? One could simply have spilled water on it.

[limber shale]

also i have all of these on hand, i just wanted to now if there were existing measurments for the mounting holes

[cold skiff]

If you’re making your own you’d be best doing your own measurements.

I’m not sure you’ll find a 6+1+1 with VRMs on a better motherboard

[sinful cobalt]

I am not irresponsible placing water near my mousepad lmao

[white sphinx]

[limber shale]

i have an old gtx 960 heatsink lying around, im gonna cut into 3 stripes, and put those on the vrms. then im gonna 3d print a mount for the heatsinks with my 3d printer and add a fan aswell

[cold skiff]

That sounds like a fun project

[limber shale]

im 99% this mb shares its pcb with atleast one other mb due to it having the pads for an vga

[white sphinx]

They sell one with vga btw

[cold skiff]

That’s good to know. Probability is that it can happen. If you’re a degenerate or not.

[limber shale]

cheap b660s were out of stock when i was buying, cheapest one was double this ones price

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/casval-char-aznable-シャアアズナブル-gundam-rising-anime-gif-17679668

[white sphinx]

Tbh i dont see the problem with water near the mousepad. As long as you dont have any splash sensitive electronics nearby

Depending on the mouse, and keyboard ofc

But most are fine, unless youre one of the degens with those ultralight skeletonized mice

[cold skiff]

He’s just being a rage baiter. I wouldn’t rise to it.

Just treat him like a child it’s easier

[sinful cobalt]

So we’re just gonna assume skeleton mice as degens now

[white sphinx]

Yes

[sinful cobalt]

How funny, I am indeed using the Beast X, wbu?

[white sphinx]

G703🔥

[solar moat]

got to love how i have 11.5GB of ram as standby but only 8GB used

[white sphinx]

The most average mouse ever

[sinful cobalt]

Better than some razer Viper V3 lmfao

[solar moat]

what is windose doing

[white sphinx]

Considering a g604

[cold skiff]

Don’t poke him. He might send you random anime images

[sinful cobalt]

i simply like the shape of the beast x lmao

[white sphinx]

Too light

[cold skiff]

It’s a decent mouse tbh

[sinful cobalt]

I like lightweight mice, and just lightweight stuff in general since they are more responsive.

[white sphinx]

Any «mouse» lighter than 45g is a gerbil not a mouse

[cold skiff]

I’m running a Rival 710 oled atm

Prob about 150g

Attack shark x11 once I give it to my son for his birthday in a month. Will see how that goes.

[dapper dragon]

Who buys a mouse with a screen on it

[solar moat]

users who waste money for worse head shots

[white sphinx]

Honestly considering getting a mad catz r.a.t 8

[solar moat]

at least to me its not as bad as buying 4 sticks of ram for the looks

[white sphinx]

I need all the programmable buttons tbh

[sinful cobalt]

People with too much money

[cold skiff]

I think I bought it for the lols

[dapper dragon]

They aren’t even expensive

[cold skiff]

Bought a G703 not long after because I didn’t like it and just kept it as a backup. Needed it for the past year

[dapper dragon]

Ah

[cold skiff]

Was like £120 at the time. My g703 was about the same price at the time also

[white sphinx]

G703 is the goat tbh

[cold skiff]

My son killed it. Shame really.

[sinful cobalt]

id just assume anything random with a screen is exp nowadays tbh

[cold skiff]

I think it was like £50 more expensive than the lower model at the time

[white sphinx]

For a 1 inch monochromatic oled is crazy

[sinful cobalt]

let the man spend his money however he likes

[cold skiff]

Was like 2018 or something

That’s long gone.

[sinful cobalt]

well shit, i needa get more anti bacterial wet wipes and ig plasters

[swift kestrel]

Yes

Anyone know why anytime I touch any of the ports on my computer when it's turned on, it ends of slightly shocking me, would that be a problem with my power source, or is the whole thing done for? Feel free to pm me

Sounds like you have a short

And I’m not talking about the 172cm human kind like me

[vapid scroll]

Lol alr, is there a reason to fix, or should I just get all new?

[cold skiff]

Yeah you kind of need to diagnose and fix it

[elder quarry]

e

[iron glen]

anyone here played MSC before? im having trouble w my g290 not registering

[bleak ledge]

Nintendo could file so many lawsuits with this speed 😎

[tidal geyser]

You got a ad blocker?

[tidal geyser]

Back in early 2016, Netflix vice president of cloud and platform engineering Yury Izrailevsky said in an interview that the company operated “tens of thousands of servers and many tens of petabytes of storage” in the Amazon cloud. That said, 90 PB should be enough to store the entire Netflix catalogue (in different formats).

and that is bytes

so im wondering where the fuck did they get 1sec from

turn it off

restarted the pc?

[bleak ledge]

The Amazon cloud sounds way more expensive that just using colocation

[tidal geyser]

the main part to look at there is the 90BP part

what gpu

[random gyro]

Why is there a $1,145 fee Starlink? Is elon high?

[unkempt mirage]

True

[bleak ledge]

Basically, they're rinsing you where other ISPs wouldn't

[random gyro]

wdym?

[bleak ledge]

Most ISPs would just absorb the cost

[random gyro]

oh

Why is there a fee though?

Like where did this fee come from?

[bleak ledge]

Probably because they can

[random gyro]

its like a politician like its not answering my questions

"High demand" like its so vague

High demand for starlink or like high demand of something

[tidal geyser]

why you going for starlink over you know not?

[bleak ledge]

I don't think I'd use Starlink even if it's my last option

[tidal geyser]

starlink is really cool

[random gyro]

I like starlink because in Australia most homes don't have fibre

[bleak ledge]

The power consumption of the equipment alone is quite significant

[random gyro]

In my house we don't have fibre we have HFC which is like a TV cable

[bleak ledge]

Especially with the heaters on

[tidal geyser]

eh?

[random gyro]

We have solar panels

[bleak ledge]

Australians stay winning

[tidal geyser]

the dish is just you know a massive dish cant use much power and ofc a heater will use power

[random gyro]

So what we could do is if the HFC is really crappy the starlink could kick in (happens a couple times a month especially when it rains)

[random gyro]

Well I only use heaters in winter

[tidal geyser]

woooooow

[bleak ledge]

Do you not have 4G of 5G service?

[random gyro]

plus solar power and solar batteries do save us a considerable amount of money

We do have a 5G backup however the cell tower is in a poor location and we only get 2 bars

1-2 bars

[tidal geyser]

tis strailia also again rain

[bleak ledge]

Could get a powerful wireless bridge to point to the nearest tower

[random gyro]

Air fiber? I checked with ubiquiti theirs is line 5000 dollars

Star link cheaper

[bleak ledge]

I think Mikrotik make some good ones

Not sure if available where you are

[random gyro]

yeah I heard of the brand

[bleak ledge]

Still might not be cheaper than the Starlink fee

[random gyro]

Isn't it Lithuanian or something cos if it is it isn't available without shipping

[polar hamlet]

ive been having this for 2 hours ive tried everything like ddu, delete shader cache, reinstalled game cus its only on this game btw so does anyone know how to fix but i feel like its something to do with the vram because it goes from only 6gb all down to 4gb even tho i have a 7900xt 20gb i just dont know how its messing with vram tho

[bleak ledge]

Latvian

[tidal geyser]

you sure its not just the game

[random gyro]

But I'm still perplexed why there is a fee twice the price of the actual thing just for being in a vague high demand area

[polar hamlet]

wdym bro

[random gyro]

show specs

[indigo shell]

https://a.co/d/0ekJpvQ

does anyone know how would this performed against my 3070 in a desktop?

[polar hamlet]

yes its just that game but it was fine before i did fresh windows install

[polar hamlet]

[bleak ledge]

Apparently they are doing it to manage network congestion and discourage overloading the service.

Also to offset costs in lower demand areas

[random gyro]

I tried with a couple of other addresses in my city and its the same price fee

I am a bit farther out so

I'm not sure why the fee didn't decrease

[kindred halo]

Holy shite

[random junco]

110 lala

[kindred halo]

[ivory fjord]

[ivory fjord]

[rigid ether]

in the uk rn, the price difference is 270 usd(tax is included) which is absurd

[cold skiff]

Absurd difference or absurd that we include 20% sales tax by default?

Or as we call it VAT, however I see no value in the added tax

[rigid ether]

I prefer looking at the price with vat, i dont need to be surprised by the tax in checkout

[cold skiff]

I mean when you buy PC parts in the UK you’re invoiced without the tax also

[fathom mesa]

i want to install windows onto my new harddrive
i dont have a usb stick

i remember hearing you could install it onto one if you partition it and have the iso file but how do i do that exactly

[cold skiff]

Try a blu ray disc

That would be fun

[rigid ether]

but the vat is alr included in the price when ur shopping from uk stores

unless ur buying something from aliexpress

[rigid ether]

but yes, 20% vat is high

considering our public services are shit

[frigid topaz]

If I were to buy a high end amd gpu, which is worth it?

[rigid ether]

9070xt

[frigid topaz]

Yeah I might pay it with klarna

[rigid ether]

OR, u could wait for 9090xt

[frigid topaz]

9070xt will be enough

I got 1050ti rn

[rigid ether]

massive upgrade

[frigid topaz]

Yeahh I wanna have a good PC ready for gta6 whenever it come later to pc

[dreamy aspen]

ofc it is

[frigid topaz]

2026

[dreamy aspen]

one of the biggest upgrades ever

[frigid topaz]

Yeah what about cpu

[dreamy aspen]

what's your destination of cpu?

gaming, vm, productivity?

[frigid topaz]

Well I'll be gaming mostly

[tidal geyser]

i would HIGHLY recommend against that

[frigid topaz]

Maybe eventually game making

[dreamy aspen]

so 9800x3d/7800x3d are the best ones for gaming mainly

[frigid topaz]

Why

[tidal geyser]

using money that is not yours is just not the smartest move

[rigid ether]

9800x3d

[clear canyon]

I have a 7800x3d and its perfect

[frigid topaz]

Well it's only 3% interest rate and I can always sell it if everything goes wrong

[rigid ether]

7800x3d is still good

[frigid topaz]

I got a i7 4790s rn

[clear canyon]

It will remain good for a long long time

[clear canyon]

Big sad

[tidal geyser]

your not going to sell it for the same price

[frigid topaz]

True

[tidal geyser]

i would way rather save up for something

i have yet to actually take out a loan or even really loan any money

[frigid topaz]

I also need a better monitor

Everything is so shit that I have

[rigid ether]

what resolution do u want to game at

[kindred halo]

This looks like a decent deal

I might be able to snatch this for 80 if he negotiates

[frigid topaz]

I'm used to 1080p but would prefer 1440p

[rigid ether]

oled or nop

[lyric venture]

i got a hp fury with a 14900hx and a rtx 5000 can ai play anything good on it

[frigid topaz]

Oled

[lyric venture]

because it is a workstation

[frigid topaz]

Oled would be sick to have

I like how my phones oled screen looks, sometimes I watch movies on my phone instead of monitor

[tidal geyser]

why are you asking us????

literally you can answer that by you know just doing it

[lyric venture]

i swear this is tech chat

[rigid ether]

AOC Q27G4ZD is cheap for an oled

[lyric venture]

can ada cards play games

does it even have a laptop driver

[frigid topaz]

27 inch?

[tidal geyser]

eh??

[kindred halo]

????

[tidal geyser]

the bigger question would be is it possible for it NOT to be able to play games

[rigid ether]

yes

[tidal geyser]

its just a normal desktop card with more vram or such

[frigid topaz]

Okay thx, 24 inch is too small

[lyric venture]

i didn’t know that ada cards were able to play anything

[tidal geyser]

also you can just test it out yourself

[lyric venture]

i got a holy bottleneck

[tidal geyser]

no

[rigid ether]

Philips 27M2N8500, AOC AG276QZD2 and Titan Army G27T8T are other options

that are on the cheaper side for oled

[tidal geyser]

the ada rtx 5000 is just a 4090

but mo vram and blackwell

[tidal geyser]

what da fuc

[lyric venture]

put the ssd into my pc

[rigid ether]

why do u have less storage than my 2015 macbook air

[lyric venture]

2060 with an i510400f

[lyric venture]

why do i have more ram than free ssd space

[rigid ether]

why did u build/buy this desktop

oh its a laptop

[clear canyon]

Bro, you need a 2tb drive lol

[cold skiff]

I feel like he’s just trolling and trying to flex

[cinder dew]

Hi

[lyric venture]

bitch i got this for 1k on fb marketplace probs some corporate disposal or something

1k gbp

[rigid ether]

ye u got scammed

[ripe field]

looks alright but you sure the 6600 is the best you can do?

[sour salmon]

I'm planning a build around a 9800X3D and I already have a 4 slot GPU (gross I know, they need to stop with that). I have two other PCI-e cards that I want to put in that are both x4, it would appear as though my options are super limited, the Gigabyte X870E AORUS ELITE seems to fit my needs but is quite expensive. Are there other decent options available?

[humble minnow]

Guys are my fans the correct way ?
Do I need to invert any of them ?
Ofc there's an aio also going on top

[sour salmon]

There should be an arrow on the side of the fan that says which way they blow.
