[craggy cove]

it runs like shit cause ue5 is ue5

[gloomy sleet]

the game is like magic universes beyond honestly

[tidal geyser]

wat

[craggy cove]

ue5 is irredeemable garbage if they can't even make fortnite work on it

its your own engine

[tidal geyser]

i dono its good for me

[gloomy sleet]

if a popular franchise or thing has a humanoid character and a 3d object it will be in a fortnite collab

only requirements are 10+ active players/viewers and 3d objects they can use for cosmetics that’s literally it

[craggy cove]

5600 and 2060 super, horrible stutters

meanwhile it was over 100 fps and smooth on my old i5-3340 and gtx 660 setup in chapter 1

[tidal geyser]

when was the last time you played

[gloomy sleet]

we should go back to UE4

[tidal geyser]

performance mode?

[gloomy sleet]

that actually ran well

[craggy cove]

hhh may?

[tidal geyser]

try it now

i had issues on older cpus back then but its fixed now

[craggy cove]

so bad i just uninstalled it after 7 games

[gloomy sleet]

acc still runs insanely good while looking great in 2025

game from 2017

[craggy cove]

i swear if i download 100gb (ofc) of files and its still poop

[gloomy sleet]

so real

i spent 9 hours redownloading gta5 today

[kindred drift]

it sounds like when i would run my a40s on xbox

[zinc widget]

Jellyfin is refusing to deploy on Truenas

[kindred drift]

pc and xbox sounded way dif and now my arctis pros sound lile my astros use to sound on xbox

itsa like its not 3d audio

is spatial audio good?

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

i’d try it with and without

generally decent

[kindred drift]

the whole shit just seems muffled

idk man

[gloomy sleet]

4/10

my internet isn’t much better

[lethal bay]

37mbps and great shouldn’t be in the same sentence lmao

[tidal geyser]

150Mb internet is pain

[lethal bay]

if it’s less than 500/500 I’m out lmao

[tidal geyser]

500Mb is good nuf for most stuff

[gloomy sleet]

my internet is like 60mbps down 30 up

yeah

i can’t upgrade anyway

[inland elm]

Hello, I have potentially stupid question.
If I had Mini PC like ROG NUC with thunderbolt, would it be possible to trun it into a NAS by adding hdd docking bay?

I'm not asking about performance, sanity or anything like that, just if it is possible to setup hexos (truenas) with raid 5 or 6 with drivers connected in bay over thunderbolt.

Hi. I've noticed that there's a toggle in the AMD Software Adrenalin Edition to keep replays cached in system memory but the file on the disk still gets modified. Does that switch even work?

[clear canyon]

Its not good but could be worse

[strange atlas]

I cant even remove my gpu how can i reduce built up static elecctricity

I dont have grounding

And cheapest psu

[storm eagle]

I've just installed my new 16TB drive into my system and copied a bunch of files to it and now the drive won't shut the fuck up

[grizzled frost]

what

[strange atlas]

Dont have ground on wall plug

[grizzled frost]

do you live in a house made in 1880?

[strange atlas]

60+ years old house yes

[grizzled frost]

you can hold the pc case and literally touch grass

(make contact with the ground outside)

[strange atlas]

i cant touch grass

[strange atlas]

Dont have any grass close to me i'm living in city

[grizzled frost]

touch earth outside

or the circuit breaker panel (THE OUTSIDE, NOT ANYTHING INSIDE)

[strange atlas]

i'll pass on this

Waiting might be better idea than

[grizzled frost]

waiting on what?

[strange atlas]

Static electricity discharges itself in a long run no?

[grizzled frost]

it does, eventually

[strange atlas]

okay i can wait

But i hope my gpu is artifacting just cause of static electricity

[grizzled frost]

Doubt it

[strange atlas]

It just started artifacting weirdly

[grizzled frost]

even if it is, that would indicate hardware damage

[strange atlas]

if its vram it wouldnt cost much to get it repaired i belive yes?

[grizzled frost]

goodluck diagnosing individual components

[grizzled frost]

theres hundreds of surface mount components

[strange atlas]

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

[strange atlas]

Oh you are right

[sharp ivy]

gpus are repairable

[strange atlas]

Man i'm so sad i cant afford a new gpu

[sharp ivy]

no but sometimes

[grizzled frost]

repairable, but not worth the effort to diagnose 99% of the time

[strange atlas]

I do know how to solder and repair some stuff i hope its between my skill level

Sometimes works yeah

One time i forgot plastics in the gpu and i wasnt able to breathe

Plastic burning were so bad i was feel like choking

[sharp ivy]

unless you have no money

[strange atlas]

You get one and buy me a gpu i belive its a ncie idea no?

[sharp ivy]

at least try

[strange atlas]

https://tenor.com/view/monkeys-gif-9747560361894100722

[strange atlas]

This is me

[grizzled frost]

Cool if it's one of the Caps, how do you diagnose that it's that cap that's blown?

[sharp ivy]

try slightly loosening the cooler cause coolers being overtightened can cause artifacting

[grizzled frost]

Or resistors, or one of the various controlers, or which VRAM package it is, or if it's the die

[vast bronze]

7600xt or 3060ti?

[strange atlas]

Oh i did it hard but it didnt have problems for like a month why now

[sharp ivy]

at least try

[grizzled frost]

7600xt

[grizzled frost]

So where should Graun start with diagnosing?

[sharp ivy]

eh just see if that makes a difference

[sharp ivy]

the cooler thing

you tell him, I'm a stupid useless idiot

[grizzled frost]

what does "the cooler thing" even mean...

[vast bronze]

some guy said 3060 ti bc the 16gb was useless bc of the 128 bit bus on the 7600xt

[strange atlas]

Would rx 550 be usable with 1440p at all

[lusty remnant]

how much does a good mouse usually go for?

[strange atlas]

4 gigs version

[sharp ivy]

I explained to him, try reading plantain-brain

[grizzled frost]

7600xt is far more performant

[tidal geyser]

is it?

[grizzled frost]

5-5000usd

[grizzled frost]

Yes, according to tomshardware

[sharp ivy]

on some less demanding games

[tidal geyser]

not to TPU

[sharp ivy]

like half life 2

[tidal geyser]

i would imagine you went for the 1440p one

as TPU is 1080p and i think older games

tf is dis

[strange atlas]

Does 1080 ti have ray tracing cores

[sharp ivy]

No

[tidal geyser]

no

[strange atlas]

aight thank you

[sharp ivy]

it's a GTX card

RTX Cards do

That's what RT means

[tidal geyser]

not really

[strange atlas]

I was hoping older cards also had at least a few :d

[grizzled frost]

3060ti can do RT, doesn't mean it should

[tidal geyser]

RT

[grizzled frost]

yes

[tidal geyser]

the 3060 ti can do all RTX but MFG and FG

[sharp ivy]

it is possible

[tidal geyser]

i should sleep soon

you need tensor cores for upscaling

or ray reconstruction or RTX HDR

[sharp ivy]

Ye

[tidal geyser]

wat

[grizzled frost]

sensitive, and people love shoving it into the slot either too hard, or not hard enough

[tidal geyser]

too hard is not a thing

well there is TOOOOOOO HARD

like the point where you break the pads

[sharp ivy]

To put it simply, RTX cards have more features and are newer. the latest GTX cards were 16 series, onwards is RTX

[grizzled frost]

1080ti my beloved

[sharp ivy]

I love gtx cards

[tidal geyser]

fun fact some GTX 16 cards had the encoders of rtx cards

[sharp ivy]

Oooh

My gaming PC has a 1060

and it's great

[grizzled frost]

"gaming"

[sharp ivy]

Yes, gaming

[tidal geyser]

i think the 1650 super got it

[sharp ivy]

I play games on it, it's for games so it's a gaming pc

[tidal geyser]

you were saying

i know my shit even if i should be sleeping

[sharp ivy]

still that's a cool fact

[tidal geyser]

One of the biggest gripes about the GeForce GTX 1650 is that, despite being a Turing graphics card, it came with the old Volta encoder. The GeForce GTX 1650 GDDR6's product page details that the TU117 model still comes with the Volta encoder, and the TU106 and TU116 variants use the more recent Turing encoder. Therefore, concerned buyers should consult with the manufacturer for information on which die their graphics card is using.

i dono im listing the 1650 super for 40$

[sharp ivy]

Real. 60 series in general are

[tidal geyser]

that is what i said above yes

im considering using it again

[sharp ivy]

well

[tidal geyser]

4060 has its uses

[sharp ivy]

older ones

[tidal geyser]

445mm is just insane XD

[sharp ivy]

I'm more of an older/budget gpu person

[grizzled frost]

every 50 class card shouldn't exist

they are almost always overpriced and underperformant

other than maybe the 1650

[sharp ivy]

1050 is beans

[tidal geyser]

3050 6GB ::3

[sharp ivy]

in a good way

[hexed tapir]

[grizzled frost]

both near e-waste

[tidal geyser]

1050 ti is fine

has the nvidia encoder

and no extra pcie power

can even use it for immich ML stuff

[sinful cobalt]

both cards rn

[sharp ivy]

1050ti is good, 1060 6gb is also good

[clear canyon]

Thats pretty slow

[vapid nimbus]

Anyone else store their cpus like this

[clear canyon]

Eh, id consider it bare minimum

[clear canyon]

Bro, you need to separate the pga stuff, ur gonna fuck the pins

I see one already done

[vapid nimbus]

They are all broke

[clear canyon]

Bruh

[vapid nimbus]

Also ancient

The newest ones are amd fx cpus

From 2011

[clear canyon]

Its history tho

[vapid nimbus]

Yup that's y I have them

I have a intel with pins on it

Also anyone want two gtx 1070s

45 bucks each

Usd

[vast bronze]

6700xt or 3060ti

[tidal geyser]

people prefer even the 6700 xt over a 3070 at times due to the vram limit

[clear canyon]

whos on 3g in 2025? thats an awful example

[azure topaz]

i trust nobody who uses their mousepad as a surface to keep their desk from getting dirty

white to gray mousepad transition

[tidal geyser]

3g is being turned off

2g died a while ago most places

[sinful cobalt]

back in the 3g era it wasnt even bad, just that modern day 3g satellites are being taken down and theres like only a few left

4G is the standard for me now lmao, no 2/3Gs

[tidal geyser]

o wow its still a thing but its going away this year where i live

but you can see why its getting nuked

[clear oasis]

MY EYES

[tidal geyser]

4g is fine

that is why Australia stopped up a bit

wanna know what has even more?

well yea but the point of tech is becomeing better

there are now watches that can contact emergency services with satellite

[hexed tapir]

iPhone 16 is special?

[tidal geyser]

Apple has integrated satellite messaging into its recent flagship models: the iPhone 14, 15, and 16 series, plus the 16e. These devices, running iOS 18 or later, offer a range of satellite-enabled services:

Using satellite messaging on iPhones is straightforward. You don't need any setup for emergency services – just a clear view of the sky. And you need to be in a country that supports the service: the continental United States (Alaska and Hawaii aren't guaranteed), Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and the U.K. If you text emergency services (911 for the U.S. or the country's equivalent), Apple will automatically send along your GPS location, medical ID information (if you filled it out on your iPhone in the Health app), and emergency contacts.

[fringe prairie]

14 is cheap on ebay

pretty sure pixels can do this as well

[tidal geyser]

it can

[fringe prairie]

and pixels are even cheaper

[tidal geyser]

T-Mobile's Starlink satellite service (also known as T-Satellite) is currently compatible with "satellite optimized" phones such as the iPhone 14 and newer, the Pixel 9 series, the Motorola Razr Plus 2024, the Galaxy S24 and newer, the Galaxy A36 series, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

[tidal geyser]

i think the a36 is the cheapest smart phone to have it

its not full on service but at least they got satellite messaging

[daring axle]

Okay sorry to interupt but im so confused

My PC, which has been running fine for a week or so, just decided it doesnt want internet or bluetooth. My ethernet wont work, neither of my wireless cards are picking up my wifi and my bluetooth thingies arent picking anything up either

Ive tried deleting my drivers and hardware scanning them back, ive tried the “get help” on internet settings, ive tried reseting the network on windows, and now im lost. What do i do?

[hexed tapir]

[ornate salmon]

So I used outbyte. And now my pc keeps saying couldn’t boot properly and makes me go to the troubleshoot or shut off screen. I’ve reset all besides full clean and I’m waiting for a usb to do a usb windows installation. Any ideas what happened.

[ornate salmon]

Ah ok. Also I was thinking of upgrading since I’ve had my pc for some years. Any recommendations on what I should do.

[tidal geyser]

welp i should sleep, but just reinstall and DO NOT install ryzen master

[ornate salmon]

Ok

[tidal geyser]

budget

[fallen sky]

do install Ryzen master

[ornate salmon]

1k

[fallen sky]

(I have a 5 9600x)

[ornate salmon]

If parts can be reused that’ll work if not like 1.5k

[tidal geyser]

o wow, could do a new pc but i might go for a 5600 and maybe a 5070 ti or 9070 xt

[ornate salmon]

[grizzled frost]

file corruption by the looks of it

[south steppe]

oh thank god

i thought my gpu was failing

[grizzled frost]

i meant it could be, it’s just unlikely given you never saw it during gameplay

file corruption is still worrying though

HDD or SSD

[south steppe]

yeah i never saw it while playing,

but im using 24.5.1 of my amd driver

the newest now is maybe 25.6.2

so its not my gpu right?

[bronze jay]

Can someone please send me a link to buy replacement screws for my glass panel? I can't seem to find any.

[grizzled frost]

i doubt it’s the gpu, you should be concerned about the file corruption though

[bronze jay]

The door is just sitting there half open and it's pissing me off

[grizzled frost]

depends on the case, you’d need to found out the threading and length then buy those screws

you can also just tape the thing shut

[bronze jay]

The threading is standard

[grizzled frost]

“is standard” means absolutely nothing in this context

[bronze jay]

It's the same threading you use for the rear panel

[grizzled frost]

as in m3 thumb screws?

ah alright then

The hard drive isn't the issue- it's the fact that the filesystem metadata was stored unsafely on a single drive with no parity

Tbh, I dunno how my RX 480 has passed a OCCT power test for 4 hours with a literally exploded capacitor

[haughty compass]

Is this a good PSU brand? Its $55 and 80 plus gold

[tawny sentinel]

And I mean literally. Bought it for 30 bucks from I guess a bitcoin miner. Fans don't spin, there's oxide, dirt and the heatsink is blueish

[haughty compass]

I want to use it to power a GTX 1080 ti

[tawny sentinel]

From what I know, Apevia is one of those you have to avoid

[haughty compass]

Oh ok ty

Sketchy PSUs.

And in general, RGB PSUs are something to avoid

[left dove]

can we get warship to dm people links like this automagically when people ask

[tawny sentinel]

Quite outdated that one.

Here's an updated one, although quite uncomplete imho:

[formal sonnet]

Correct. When the RGB changes to any color but RED it shuts down your PC. /s

[tawny sentinel]

Oh crap really?

[random gyro]

I have a GN650, it has a actually decent rating on amazon by verified purchases, but is rated low on spl's psu list

[left dove]

/s indicates sarcasm.

[tawny sentinel]

Guess I've been lucky with my magenta and nuclear green builds

[tawny sentinel]

Didn't need /s to know it is sarcasm xD

[left dove]

Some people here are genuinely stupid, can never be too careful

[tawny sentinel]

You've just discovered that Amazon reviews don't usually indicate something is good

Many techtubers recommend Segotep tho. But it is usually price-specs wise

80+ Gold, 650W or over and PCIe 5.0 for low prices

"Bad" quality does not mean it is necessarily bad, you need to consider the price

[random gyro]

i got told by a bunch of pcmr and ztt users "SLP is the only reliable source for buying a psu"

[tawny sentinel]

Your PC probably won't die for having a Segotep PSU

[haughty compass]

https://a.co/d/7L03mO7

This is a bit more pricey but how is this?

[random gyro]

would you still consider the 6750 xt a 'high end' card

corsair is overrated, you can get better price-worthiness ratios

i have no idea is evga psu's are up to date though

[tawny sentinel]

Does it meet your requirements? If so, it is high-end

I have an i7 11700K + RTX 3080, 0 need of upgrading

[late breach]

I did system restore. And it said my anti virus stopped it from happening. So I clicked okay and turned back on and the mother board flashed a red orange red light. Than it prompted me to the sign in passcode thing. I put it in. And grey screen. I have a z790 pro mobo and an i5 12600kf. I’m doing another system restore to an older point from 5 days ago. But if I still have the problem. What shall I do?

[tawny sentinel]

I can play anything I want at 3440x1440 High/Ultra 60+ fps. And it is a 4-5 y/o build

[random gyro]

I feel like my mobo is not up to par with my components lol

😂

[tawny sentinel]

?

[rigid ether]

mobo doesnt matter much unless its on fire

or u dont have enough space to put ram and ssd

or ur on am4 and want an am5 cpu

[random gyro]

besides, it is always better to have hardware acceleration in a chromium based browser

how many fans does ur case have

[tawny sentinel]

When I build my crappy low-budget PC, I'll show it to you

i5 3470, Asus H61M mobo, 8GB of RAM, the broken RX 480 and a lot of RGB fans... XD

[random gyro]

4 argb preinstalled with no pwm cables, along with my one heatsink air fan connected to my cpu

isn't actually that bad looking I just need psu extenders

[tawny sentinel]

No one can see the mobo nor the cables

Don't kill me for the AIO position, I'm replacing that case and AIO with a Fractal Meshify 3 XL and a Be Quiet Silent Loop 3 420mm this week

here was the vrm and cinebench test conducted by techspot

[sinful cobalt]

the rest of the pc’s white aesthetic went into the lianli unifans

[fallen sky]

Wait a damn minute can I set my GPU led color to anything other than white

time to research

I just got the idea of changing the color

[tawny sentinel]

They aren't Unifans

It's a XYZ Tesseract, those fans are included

[sinful cobalt]

o lmao mb then

[tawny sentinel]

I'll be migrating it to my AM4 build, also black components, but I'll add white cable extensions

[sinful cobalt]

i see that pattern and i assume uni

yea of course (i’m playing a game that was made for sub 500mhz cpus also more then 1 core didn’t exist at the time)

[wispy trellis]

How do i know how many MHZ is my ram

[gloomy sleet]

it will say what the mts is on task manager

what country?

[simple palm]

I'm from India

[swift moss]

yayyaya

[iron glen]

5/5 websites i've looked at don't have it, guessing your best bet is the used market

[simple palm]

I have asked Silverstone and they are hopeless

Ebay don't have it and I don't know any other options

[iron glen]

FB marketplace might

though i doubt it if it isnt on sale anywhere else

[simple palm]

I'm from India 😦

[iron glen]

does india not have facebook marketplace?

[simple palm]

We have but there is very less chance if someone have it, even if they have it they are not probably selling it

[high lance]

hey guys im looking to find some case fans, do you guys have any recommendations?
they must be as quiet as possible and use ARGB
thanks 🙂

[upper abyss]

guys can someone explain why you shouldnt use 16GB of ram on DDR5?

i forgor the reason

[candid citrus]

i updated my bios ^^

[upper abyss]

huh why :v

[candid citrus]

it was old

[calm idol]

is the newer SST-CS382 available for you instead maybe? doesnt have the filters but otherwise looks similar

[candid citrus]

2021 bios

[simple palm]

I just checked in major cities and I don't see any

[iron glen]

oof

[solar moat]

its runs x16 or single channel both bad unless you got a cpu that only has single channel memory suport

where 8GB/12GB allways single channel/x16

[simple palm]

It doesn't have that Hepa filter thing and looks very small. Is it even mid-tower?

I recently lost Ryzen TR 3960x, I think the motherboard dies

or CPU

[upper abyss]

is ts fake or sum? was very confused when i saw it
https://youtu.be/IRdchgvzqqQ?si=Jxgwbkl_fFeLw9Ta

[true stirrup]

You will lose about 10-15% performance by going with a single stick of 16GB

And going 2x8GB is not good on DDR5

[obsidian urchin]

Has nvidia released any pcie cards since the 3050 variant?

[true stirrup]

So 2x16GB is the best option (unless you need even more ram)

[upper abyss]

2x8 is 5-10% or how much? as said the Video just confused me

[obsidian urchin]

Given the prices of ddr5 and the fact 16gb is teetering on the edge. Ill suggest 2 x 16gbs

[upper abyss]

yh in general its time for 32GB standard

[obsidian urchin]

Phew, im glad I didnt say 16 x 2gbs 💀

[upper abyss]

lmao

[upper abyss]

1 module per stick, tuff

[fallen sky]

Is there a pc building speedrun category

I wanna see the fastest pc ever assembled

[solar moat]

just about all of those AB ones are shit but 16GB ddr5 is bad

[solar moat]

so many of those where made on ddr4 for 4 stick or 2 stick or 16GB/32GB allmost all ofthem are full of shit since the maker of them has no idea about memory

like of corse quad rank if all other things= going to be faster then single rank

[upper abyss]

okeh boss

[solar moat]

its not hard to gain 15% with basic memory settings

way more if you did not get ok memory config or mobo auto settings are SHIT

[fresh escarp]

https://www.speedtest.net/result/c/82de41bc-54fd-45b1-ae92-481afc641974 slow wifi

[solar moat]

ewlp slighty faster then me

[simple palm]

I asked the sales team again for Mammoth MM01 and they can't help it

[true stirrup]

8GB sticks are single rank instead of dual rank like 16GB sticks and above
They also have fever ICs
8GB sticks just suck

It's better to just get 1x16GB if you want 16GB of ram

[solar moat]

not duel rank but x16 vs x8 i hate x16 so much

[warm merlin]

Man I love watching a linus video. However it always trys to play at the highest quality and it gets framey. So I have to spend like 15 seconds in laggy meny to change it

[fickle ivy]

I just saw a 201" folding TV that comes out of the ground and I want it so bad but it's $825,000 without installation costs :(

And before tax

[empty token]

hi guys!!! does the steamdeck hold up to recent years? my birthday is coming up and i reallyyy want one or something like it but i want to make the right decision. i value battery life and i also like aesthetics but i dont value over spec obviously

[solid elk]

My room 💀:

[upper abyss]

sum mf said
"That's wrong. Even if a single DDR5 stick has fewer memory chips internally, it won't run in single channel if two sticks are installed correctly. DDR5 uses two 32-bit subchannels per module internally, but true dual channel (128-bit) only occurs with two sticks. As long as you have two modules in the correct slot, you have full bandwidth – regardless of the number of chips on the stick. Please don't spread half-knowledge."

also im prolly awnsering you later since im in drivin school rn kinda

[solar moat]

when you run x16 config memory you cutting the bank count one of the main things they did with ddr4/5 is incress bank count since more= faster

meaning if you get 16GB on ddr5 1 of 2 things your ram is x16 or your runinng single channel both bad

[upper abyss]

ion quite get that :')

[late path]

guys most if not all games 32/64 is sweet spot and anything over that is overkill right? Correct me if I'm wrong.

• Assuming DDR5, no bottlenecks, and decent motherboard.

[upper abyss]

yuh, probably 32 for most, 64 for some sim/big strategy games

[solar moat]

most games i find 16GB fine but 32GB is min for ddr5 due to 8GB stick are shit

[late path]

32 if you're a normal gamer and 64 if you play heavy duty stuff like MSFS 2024/other sims

[upper abyss]

could you reiterate

[solar moat]

x4 x8 x16 that how many data bus bits per IC

[late path]

like you'll see a noticeable difference in frames on say MSFS 2024 if you upgrade from 2x16 to 2x32?

[solar moat]

x4 mosty server only x8 is most ram x16 is shit

[solar moat]

more banks good x16 has 50% of the banks

this is ddr4 but a kit of 1Rx16 at 3200 is
is beaten by 8% by a 1Rx8 kit at 2667

and at ddr4 3200 2Rx8 is 15% faster at least in that title thats the inpact of ram config

with ddr5 duel rank dose not realy help as much due to changes with it but its mosty the same when it comes to config of ram

[long cradle]

What does the term "goated" even mean?

[solar moat]

greates of all time'ed

[peak knot]

I finally can show off the benefits of higher end scopes

The top one gets 5x the data as the bottom one, I captured the same waveform one with 200mhz sampling and the other 1Ghz sampling rate, both of these images are just dots as I disabled the vector lines

On my smaller siglent you can see where there are gaps in the dots while the higher end Agilent still looks like a solid line

[haughty compass]

What (used) Intel CPU would u guys recommend for like $150 or even $175 if the difference in price to performance is crazy enough

[tawny sentinel]

The current state of the build @random gyro

Don't blame me for the benchtable being dirty, I've replaced the heatsink there

I bought a broken RX 470 since they share the heatsink and fans...but not the capacitors

Atleast the whole thing was cheaper than purchasing sketchy parts on AliExpress

[haughty compass]

I just got this for $138 wit taxes and shipping. ($115 originally) Did I get a good deal or just like an eh it was fine?

And please for the life of me do not bring up the fact they are dropping driver support in like a year

[tawny sentinel]

It is a good deal for being a 1080ti, but ehh for the fact of dropping driver support in a year

[haughty compass]

I play like a few games. It will be fine

The newest game I probably play is like marvel rivals

Also by the time I probably start having issues with outdated drivers will be like in a few years

Probably when I'm done with college and can get a PC with new parts

[frigid topaz]

Is there no thing I can buy to safety turn on and off an hdd while pc is on? Cause unplugging it crashes my pc

[tidal geyser]

wtf

[frigid topaz]

Like a sata on and off switch yk?

[tidal geyser]

you do know it already does it?

desktop HDDs have spindown my man

unplugging it is just insane

[frigid topaz]

Listen the thing is I got an issue with a game, it's installed on a ssd and for some reason also uses my hdd so my hdd makes my game stutter and without it plugged in game works fine

[tidal geyser]

is this one of the rare cases the pagefile is on a different drive?

[frigid topaz]

Wdym

[solar moat]

since ddr5 spec

no 8Gb chips made

[solar moat]

50% the bank groups

[tidal geyser]

is your OS installed on the HDD or something

[steep heath]

Headed to microcenter for diagnostic on my PC. And buying a new what ever part I have to. Judging by the server it's. Either a cpu or mobo or both. I have a 9600x and use final fantasy 14, Tony hawk 3+4 second life chrome and discord. Should I get the same chip or is there a better option I should be looking at if I only need to replace CPU.. and if I need to replace CPU and motherboard. What should I look for instead.

[frigid topaz]

Ssd

[tidal geyser]

go to task manager then go to the HDD and SSD and take a pic

[frigid topaz]

Game and os are both on ssd but different ones, I got 2 500gb hdd that are for other games

[tidal geyser]

i dono the same parts were good

[solar moat]

x16 means 16 bits per ram ic x8 mean 8 bits per ram ic
so x16 is 4 chips per stick since need 64 bits

[frigid topaz]

I unplugged my hdd

[tidal geyser]

if you just need a basic ass upgrade kit that should just work for as cheap as possible there is that 7600X kit for 250$

[sinful cobalt]

does ur cpu not have warranty

[solar moat]

welp per rank but anyway

[tidal geyser]

time

[tidal geyser]

is it a usb HDD?

[steep heath]

I don't know anything about warranty on cpus

But I. Got it on Amazon

[tidal geyser]

it takes time

[solar moat]

what cpu and when you got it

[tidal geyser]

9600X

[solar moat]

100% shoud have one

[tidal geyser]

time

[steep heath]

8/8/2024 and checked it was newegg

[tidal geyser]

they have warranty for many years

[steep heath]

But I don't have the option to wait for a replacement

Like it's why I'm traveling a hour into the city each way to try and solve it today

[tidal geyser]

if you just want to both have the spare parts i would just get one of the bundles on MC or just get one of the discounted boards and cpus

[steep heath]

I don't want spare parts.

[tidal geyser]

well then its possible for you to get the pc working if it goes wrong again

[steep heath]

But I was asking if it's just a new am5 CPU I need. Should I get the same or upgrade. And if I needed new CPU and mobo should I get the same or swap platforms I don't know what to do

[frigid topaz]

No, sata

[tidal geyser]

you do not just unplugg a sata drive while its in use

nobody is that dumb on consumer hardware

[frigid topaz]

I turned off pc

Makes my game stutter with it on

[tidal geyser]

that crash you said was it a BSOD

[frigid topaz]

Without it works fine

[frigid topaz]

My pc stopped crashed cause of hdd ever since I did a clean install

[tidal geyser]

in short, we do not know if the cpu or motherboard is broken now or if the board might work but kills another cpu

[tidal geyser]

i dono

[hazy nexus]

what mouse should i buy if i wand to have a mouse similiar to g402 i had 2 of them and 2 of them have middle mouse button issues and i use it realy often so what mouse should i get thats cheeper than 100 dolars but has like optical middle mouse button or just better one that doesnt break often

[tidal geyser]

changing platform might not be the best move if its mostly gaming, MC does offer 9600X kits if you were happy with its performance

[steep heath]

I know.... That's what I freaking said. Which is why I'm asking if it's the CPU is the problem should I buy the same one or upgrade .. or if it's the CPU and motherboard should I get the same or changing platforms....

I literally have a 80$ diagnostic appt with microcenter in 3 and a half hours.

[tidal geyser]

again, just get a MC amd kit, comes with motherboard and cpu and ram

the 9600X kit is i think 270 while the 7600X is 250

[steep heath]

Why buy more ram if my ram is ok? I already have excess.

[tidal geyser]

its a kit

well bundle

[steep heath]

But the kit is not cheaper than one singular part if I only need one part.

[jaunty apex]

If you are going from am4 to am5 you are going from ddr4 to ddr5

[tidal geyser]

the issue is the cpu and board alone costs more then the bundle

[steep heath]

No I'm not.

[tidal geyser]

9600X is am5?

[jaunty apex]

OK nvm

[steep heath]

Sim your not listening....

[tidal geyser]

i would NOT reuse the motherboard

i have said that since yesterday

[steep heath]

If they go through it and see there's no problem. Why would I not use it

[tidal geyser]

how do we know that was not the reason for the first cpu frying itself

as it was the pads under that did so

aka the ones that touched the motherboard

[steep heath]

Which is why they are going through it..... And like I said numerous times yesterday it's likely from the last motherboard that had a green corrosion in the socket before I swapped to the new motherboard.

[tidal geyser]

unless there was something on the cpu that would not have done anything

[steep heath]

The CPU looked the same before going in the new motherboard.

[tidal geyser]

what

you mean the cpu was burnt and you put it in a new motherboard

[steep heath]

It didn't look burnt to me and has been working fine for over a month.

[tidal geyser]

so it did not look the same

[steep heath]

It still doesn't look burnt to me

[tidal geyser]

dis shit burnt

[steep heath]

It looks the same. Like I said.

But it doesn't look "burnt"

[tidal geyser]

its black

[steep heath]

When I see the word burnt I expect char or color changing.

It's not black

[tidal geyser]

what color is it

[steep heath]

Gold and green?

[tidal geyser]

that is the pcb and pads underneath

[steep heath]

Theirs no evidence of a burn.

Their was nonfire

[tidal geyser]

you do not need a fire for something to burn

well eh

what im saying is big bad stuff happened

[jaunty apex]

gently roasts CPU

[tidal geyser]

and now there is carbon under the cpu

[steep heath]

Sim you refuse to answer my question I asked earlier and just keep saying different things are the problem without know for sure they are the problem

[tidal geyser]

first time just now was when i heard you saying the issue happened on the old board

if i had known that then yes just get a new cpu 9600X if you are happy with the performance

[steep heath]

Literally said it last night

I mean I'm happy when it works. But if I'm already dropping 230$ on a part and diagnostic... May as well get more performance if it's worth it .

[tidal geyser]

there is ofc the best gaming cpu rn the 9800X3D or if the 7800x3D is like 300$ there is that too

not the best but beats a 14900k the 7800X3D

also yes you did say it, literally right after i went

[woven wigeon]

guess how much this costs 🥀😭💀

[steep heath]

9600x 150$ and 9700x 290$

[tidal geyser]

and for gaming performance you would not really notice it

1080p with a 4090

[steep heath]

And 9800x3d 429$ yeah.. ild get the same chip... Unless I need board and chip.

[steep heath]

TV/ monitor is 4k 120

[tidal geyser]

yeeeeaaa

unless you are running 10 anti viruses and some crypto miners and 100 chrome tabs you are not gonna notice the 2 extra cores anyways

amd is funny like that

[steep heath]

So if I had to get new mobo and CPU should I stay amd or Intel.

[tidal geyser]

well intel aint doing too hot

if its mostly gaming

[steep heath]

There's some cpu with what they list bonkers core count. So I'm just like .. how .. and feel it's a new fx-9590

[tidal geyser]

more like "24" cores

only 8 of em are used for gaming

[steep heath]

An Intel core ultra 7 265k

[tidal geyser]

and in some games only 4 of those again

there is also the ram latency issue on them that being a major reason why the gaming performance was so bad

[steep heath]

So... 14700k. Is a good alternative if I were to go blue or no?

[sinful cobalt]

theres no real reason to go core ultra for just and only gaming

yes

[tidal geyser]

tbf this is old

[steep heath]

Second life, chrome, thps 3+4 and final fantasy 14, discord , steam is literally all I have installed on my PC.

[tidal geyser]

they have fixed a good few issues when it comes to gaming but it still cant fix hardware issues

[sinful cobalt]

sounds like no need to go intel

i’d only consider intel’s 265k for productivity

4080 lvl of encoding and 1650 equivalent igpu

[steep heath]

Well I may need a new CPU/ mobo or just new CPU waiting for micro center to tell me what I need

[tidal geyser]

what??

its not even 1630

[sinful cobalt]

the igpu is that weak?

[tidal geyser]

why would it not be?

its not a APU

xd

[sleek ibex]

iGPU on Core 200 Ultra is more inline with the 1050 Ti

[steep heath]

Do you have a 5060 vs 7900xt graph sim

[tidal geyser]

wow

[steep heath]

It's smaller... I was curious.

[sinful cobalt]

w o w

[steep heath]

And in stock at local store.

[sinful cobalt]

beat this guy up

[tidal geyser]

RT performance

[steep heath]

I genuinely don't understand graphics cards...

[sleek ibex]

source: I own one

[tidal geyser]

1080p tho

[sinful cobalt]

nice

[tidal geyser]

4K

RT

[steep heath]

I literally don't know much if anything about settings I just use presets.

[tidal geyser]

non rt 4k

[steep heath]

Welp guess my oversized for my case GPU is staying

[steep heath]

Or.. you could help educate someone not say beat them up.

[sleek ibex]

Yeh. For my use case, Core 200 Ultra has been a solid experience (work rig)

[tidal geyser]

yea core ultra is not bad if used right

i have been considering a mini pc or just something desktop anything with that media engine

[sinful cobalt]

pure gaming does not do it justice

[tidal geyser]

its really not great for gaming

well comparing to amd cpus

or even their own older ones

but it can do it

and its not that far behind

[sleek ibex]

For what it's primarily used for, ram quantity and CPU power were the highest priorities

[tidal geyser]

sad its only getting a refresh

lets hope it at least is a ok refresh for the people who went for it

[upper abyss]

why are 4k monitor so expensiveeee

[tidal geyser]

since they are 4k

[upper abyss]

i think you may be a genius

[tidal geyser]

also you do not have 170$?

[upper abyss]

i was considering getting a 4k monitor, since even with upscaling they look better i heard

[upper abyss]

gng, 144hz at least

[rigid ether]

ips ones are cheap

[upper abyss]

i am NOT getting a 60hz screen

[tidal geyser]

120hz https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MLpD4D/dell-s2725qs-270-3840-x-2160-120-hz-monitor-s2725qs

[upper abyss]

144hz ones be like 400€

[sinful cobalt]

fucking genius conversation “why is 4k so exp” “bcs they are 4k” like what do yu expect

[upper abyss]

tf+

[tidal geyser]

300$

[upper abyss]

dunno

[tidal geyser]

were you germany

[upper abyss]

im just annoyed by it tbh

[sinful cobalt]

just ball it on a 4k 240hz oled

no balls

[upper abyss]

yuh

[tidal geyser]

that is like 3x the cost of a 4k monitor

[upper abyss]

more than my whole PC 🥀

[rigid ether]

whats ur pc

[sinful cobalt]

which is why I said ball

[upper abyss]

5070ti/9600x

[tidal geyser]

300 euro
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/GzWzK8/gigabyte-m28u-280-3840x2160-144-hz-monitor-m28u-sa

[rigid ether]

4k 240hz oled is cheaper

[upper abyss]

actually kinda freaky, lemme see

[sinful cobalt]

I rather go 1440p 240hz oled than 4k ips

[sinful cobalt]

in perspective the 5070ti is arnd the price of a 4k 240hz oled

[tidal geyser]

335 euro for 160hz
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/bL88TW/gigabyte-m27ua-270-3840-x-2160-160-hz-monitor-m27ua

[rigid ether]

Are u in Germany

[upper abyss]

i heard oled isnt allat

[tidal geyser]

863 https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/PJdG3C/gigabyte-aorus-fo32u2-315-3840-x-2160-240-hz-monitor-fo32u2

[sinful cobalt]

unless u get a high refresh rate with good colour accuracy ips then sure

[tidal geyser]

OLED 240hz 4k

[upper abyss]

freaky

[tidal geyser]

:3

[sinful cobalt]

oled is allat WITH hdr

[tidal geyser]

welp i should go

[upper abyss]

BRO the issue is the price, i aint paying allat

[upper abyss]

byeeee

[sinful cobalt]

just get the m28u then

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-clapping-cat-silly-silly-cat-awkward-cat-gif-8634373961741432363

[sinful cobalt]

goodnight

i have the m27qx and it was hella good

good colour accuracy, only problem was HDR which sucks on basically every other panel other than OLED/miniled

[upper abyss]

i might
like basically 300€ versus expensive and not that insane

like why is OLED so hyped

[sinful cobalt]

because best colour accuracy, best HDR, best response time

[upper abyss]

like it looks cool, but not that id wet myself

[sinful cobalt]

I have the QHD 360hz panel and its amazing, my laptop is also OLED 120hz 3200x2000 and that thing is S H A R P

235ppi which is double that of my desktop monitor at like 108

[upper abyss]

ye its very cool but nun for brokies 💔

[sinful cobalt]

I wanna get a egpu setup for the laptop

[upper abyss]

atp just build a small PC fr

[sinful cobalt]

Im prob thinking nvidia for VSR and HDR plus dlss4

[sinful cobalt]

Im gonna do one and then treat the laptop as a portable monitor

But thats for like travelling

[upper abyss]

how wealthy are you, im jealous

[sinful cobalt]

Everyday sch use Ill just use the laptop standalone

708 euros, 4k hz oled 165 hz

[sinful cobalt]

not wealthy, i have a part time job I slaved away lmfao

and last year’s internship with a high pay compared to standard but thats last year

[upper abyss]

yuh id never spend that much on a monitor, like ever.
before that id js get a new GPU or sum

[sinful cobalt]

6090

and before u respond sybau

[rigid ether]

cuz it looks most like real life

[sinful cobalt]

ik the 6090 is way more

[upper abyss]

same but im earnin peanuts, i have the choice to get something higher paying maybe but kinda hard and stuff

also all my money going into drivers license and im broke due to buyin my PC recently

[upper abyss]

man i understand sarcasm, please 😭

[sinful cobalt]

im scared u wont bcs idk u that well

[upper abyss]

well now you know 😔

[sinful cobalt]

and hit me with the “U KNOW THAT”

[upper abyss]

holy

js block me atp

whys a drivers license cost a left kidney even

you did yours yet?

[sinful cobalt]

no im hoping to get mine in the military

+cars here are absurdly exp

[upper abyss]

oh fair enough, might be fire

[rigid ether]

how many hours of lessons did u get

[upper abyss]

how much for a used one that runs OKAY?

[upper abyss]

im doing a crash course on theory rn, like 9:30 AM till 12:45
also kinda annoying since i gotta travel like 20min fr

[rigid ether]

oh so u havent started

[sinful cobalt]

30k sgd until u realise u also need to factor in COE which isnt included in the 30

[upper abyss]

with the actual driving no,
before i do driving lessons ima learn shifting with a parent maybe
also as said im broke bc of this gyat damn PC

[upper abyss]

used car, right? something old like this

[rigid ether]

gear changing is the hardest part of driving

[upper abyss]

yeah, ion wanna do more hours than neccesary so ill learn the basics outside

also ill have a mixed license, so 4 lessons can be done with an automatic
also the test in the end aswell in an automatic, but i can still drive shift

[graceful girder]

@elder quarry

[rigid ether]

whats the difference between a mixed license and a full auto/manual license

[rigid fjord]

sadge that it's the bluetooth only one

[graceful girder]

It works wired, I chose this cuz I didn't wanna have to deal with dongles

[rigid ether]

here in the UK, we only have either a manual or automatic license

[rigid fjord]

i have the ultimate 2c wireless, it does 2.4ghz, BT and wired tbh

[upper abyss]

basically easier getting the license itself, but there are some drawbacks

if i were to wanna tow a trailer i could only do so until a certain size, smaller than manual.
also if i wanna learn to drive sum like a big truck (like the kind that haul 30 tons) id have to take extra shifting lessons.

all in all unusual stuff that doesnt matter TOO much

[rigid ether]

ic

[sinful cobalt]

im referring to a toyota older model camry/civic

COE is MINIMUM 90k for 10 years AND its a bid

[graceful girder]

Same controller damn, didn't know it did 2.4ghz tho

[upper abyss]

whats COE

[rigid ether]

so nice that u can take the test in auto car and still be able to drive manual

[rigid fjord]

you forgot to mention, those with manual licenses automatically can use automatic's instead, while those with automatic only can't use manual cars

[rigid ether]

ye

it explains itself

[sinful cobalt]

certificate of entitlement
for road vehicles
since we have a law for limited amt of cars on the road

[rigid ether]

driving an auto car is like driving in vid game

[rigid fjord]

yeah, but that's only if you get the wireless ones, they come with the dongle for wireless also

[upper abyss]

im really glad we have the mixed one, like i learn the shiftin in like 10 lessons but the test is easier lol

[rigid fjord]

for us brits it does, not so much for RoW

[upper abyss]

wtf, isnt 90k sgpd like 60k €??

[graceful girder]

I see, oh well I'm happy with this

[rigid ether]

I hope u dont drive a manual car after ur test

[upper abyss]

why :c

[rigid fjord]

yeah, and fair enough, the bluetooth comes more handy when it comes to consoles more than pc tbf

[rigid ether]

cuz u're only being tested on how safe u are in an automatic car

[upper abyss]

i mean i get it, but as said we have 10 lessons at least done in a shifter vehicle, so im able to drive it well it just takes one thing away in the test
i do realize though that its a bit unusual to not test that though

[graceful girder]

Nah the bt doesn't work on console, you need wired or a dongle for that, I'm using it on my laptop

[rigid fjord]

it should work straight away on the likes of switch/playstation tbh

xbox is hit or miss if i remember correctly

[graceful girder]

On switch yeah, haven't tried it on playstation

[graceful girder]

Xbox limited it to Xbox 8bitdo controllers

But u can make it work on some of the non Xbox partnership ones

[rigid fjord]

playstation controllers are BT

xbox controllers depend on model i believe
