[tidal geyser]

hand held power light maybe?

[soft radish]

Some radio I that I fucked up

It now has aux port and has 3 types of power inputs for the lights

[left dove]

moms

What.

[soft radish]

Hand crank 4000mah battery and usb

[left dove]

Uh huh.

[bitter crater]

hey guys, why is the xfx swift 9070 xt (660euro) quite a bit cheaper than the next cheapest brand 9070 xt? difference is like 50euro (the other brands are basically all ~710-720 for their cheapest models)

[tidal geyser]

new shipment

[tardy scarab]

its the lesser model but 50 bucks less is still a preferred purchase they r all very similar

[tidal geyser]

i dono but brand does not matter

[tardy scarab]

hardware unboxed just compared all 9070xt models

[tidal geyser]

even different gpu versions tend to not do anything

[steel umbra]

fire hazard wher

[soft radish]

Exposed wires

[tardy scarab]

unless u want it to look really cool. the 9070xt has one of the best looking gpus

[random gyro]

i bought a keyboard for 5 dollars

[tidal geyser]

no

[steel umbra]

how close are they from each other

[tardy scarab]

the nitro+ i think it is

[tidal geyser]

i think the 5070 ti is like 200 more

[bitter crater]

the 9070 is 620 euros (with a 12pin power connector, eww), so only 40 euro difference

[tidal geyser]

12 pin is fine

[tardy scarab]

i have the 9070 mine is 8x2

[steel umbra]

imagine paying 660 euros for 9070 xt

[tidal geyser]

12 pin would be great for lower end cards but should never have been a thing for higher end ones at least not how it is now

[steel umbra]

but whatever it’s 2025

[steel umbra]

but melty cables are cool

[tidal geyser]

4080 fe is insane for also somehow having melty issues

[steel umbra]

uhh does 4080 fe also have the no load balancing

[tardy scarab]

this not mine but it is so nice gpu tasteful rgb !

[tidal geyser]

probs considering it melty

it is

its tiny af

[steel umbra]

it’s a downgrade, a step back so it’s not fine, 6+2pins were fine

[tidal geyser]

big

[steel umbra]

fails the few jobs it has

[rapid coyote]

holy guacamole

[steel umbra]

there r more space efficient connectors that can supply up to 1kw at spec

[bitter crater]

the 12 pin cards also seem to be drawing way more power o.O 340watts for 9070xt, while 2x8pin is using 300 watt for same clockspeeds (according to specsheets)

[tidal geyser]

what?

[steel umbra]

12 pin is a cost saving measure

[rapid coyote]

if i wanted an arctic iii 360mm, it would cost me $21 in shipping and take 2 weeks to get to me

[tidal geyser]

the spec is 150w for 6+2

[steel umbra]

like xt series connectors

[tidal geyser]

o your talking about that

[steel umbra]

why they didn’t implement that

or something similar

[tardy scarab]

the 5090 would need wot 5 6+2's lol

[steel umbra]

yeah 12 pin is a cost saving measure, and it failed them, so it’s not fine

[tardy scarab]

that can draw 600w~

[steel umbra]

thinner gauge wires = cheaper than one thick gauge

[tidal geyser]

and you see why they needed something else

[tidal geyser]

well no shit

[tardy scarab]

separate power socket for gpu's next innovation

[rapid coyote]

yuh, gpu has an ac power connector plugging into the back of it

[steel umbra]

yeah it’s cheaper to get hands on higher gauges as they’re more widely used

[rapid coyote]

how much food do they normally eat?

[tidal geyser]

1KG

[tardy scarab]

their flagship will always push performance to the limit so they will have to fix it somehow

[shy saffron]

Are these good temps?

7600x - 90 degree under cpu z test
7900 gre with and OC - 61 degree furmark 1440p test

[rapid coyote]

just leave the toilet seat open, if they get real thirsty theyll go there

[tidal geyser]

ofc they are

[rapid coyote]

do you not clean your fucking toilet?

[tired bear]

some fat loaf cats

[shy saffron]

Couldn't get the cpu any lower now

[tidal geyser]

the kittys i take care of get like not sure but only a few grams and half a thingy of wet food

[tidal geyser]

why its already low

[soft radish]

Less then 1cm

[shy saffron]

95 max, i was hitting 93 before this

[tidal geyser]

its fine

[shy saffron]

Gpu seems very chilly

[rapid coyote]

gross

[shy saffron]

But i couldn't OC more

[rapid coyote]

clean your toilet

[tidal geyser]

i even change the water each day fir the cats

[shy saffron]

Was crashing

[tidal geyser]

OC does almost nothing now a days

[shy saffron]

I mean might as well

My fan curves were messy

[rapid coyote]

oh shit my b, i didnt realize you could see microscopic bacteria

[steel umbra]

are they almost touching? less than 1cm is fine if it’s like 5mm

[soft radish]

I mean they're not secured in place

[tidal geyser]

mans never heard of electrical tape

[rapid coyote]

heres a fun video of the noise my shits making

(technically thats the noise it WAS making. Its gotten worse)

you get the medal i give to only the brightest of burnt out bulbs

🏅

[south arrow]

Ooof

[rapid coyote]

its still under warranty, except i cant prove that i bought it within the warranty period because i dont have my receipt from 4 years ago

so how can they prove that i bought it within the 6 year warranty period?

[south arrow]

[rapid coyote]

hell, i couldve bought it on release day in september of 2021!

[tardy scarab]

how do i get to this https://i.imgur.com/vBm8soS.png

i know its deep within somewhere

[steel umbra]

hello wormm

[cloud sparrow]

A WIP

[empty quartz]

As much as i enjoy building in old pc cases

Ive really started to learn how little of a priority cable management was, especially back in 2008

[trim gyro]

no cable ties good

[empty quartz]

Huh

[plain cypress]

Airflow, GPU size, and cable management have all changed significantly in the last 15 years

[empty quartz]

True

[shy saffron]

Can stress testing cpu and gpu together help test power supply?

[trim gyro]

yes

[limber shale]

what part of the vrm need to be cooled exactly?

[shy saffron]

I did exactly that today - im on a 9 year old psu

[limber shale]

designing a 3d printed bracket. so far i have selected all the chips between the 2 screw holes

[shy saffron]

Didn't observe a lot of changes on hwinfo

[ornate salmon]

Hello. I probably should’ve asked before hand. But I made a bootable usb and am currently installing windows again because I had malware I think. I deleted all partitions besides the usb installer. Was that the correct thing to do.

[indigo basin]

FOUR GIGABYTES OF CATS

[gentle kestrel]

yeah

windows will remake the partition layout once you select the drive

[ornate salmon]

Ok thanks! Wanted to make sure I didn’t mess up

[young crest]

look at my cool bomb

[plush wren]

Dynamite

[plain cypress]

Needs more Note7

[young crest]

well theyve both been recalled so whats the difference

[plain cypress]

Use it to charge your note7

Then charge the battery bank with a gigabyte P750GM

[young crest]

i have a 1200 watt psu from 2008 that i still use which could do a good job probably

powers my 3 way sli build

[odd marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/eye-otter-rubbing-eyes-tired-irritated-gif-16638234

[rapid coyote]

if discord isnt a search engine, explain why there are so many people searching for answers to ridiculous questions on it?

sounds like a search engine to me

[young crest]

cuz theyre obviously dumb

there cant be any other conclusion because i said so

[wheat torrent]

A friend of mine wants to sell me his r9 7900 for 300 EUR, but I found a offer for a ultra 7 256kf for 330EUR

Should I just go am5

I am sure amd will release some banger new CPUs by 2027

[young crest]

unless youre getting something for purely productivity, get an am5 based cpu

[wheat torrent]

I do mostly productivity tasks

[young crest]

guess its kinda up to you then, look up reviews and comparisons of both chips and decide yourself

[wheat torrent]

Mixed opinions

[young crest]

theyll both be good chips but still

[wheat torrent]

Mostly people say go am5 for future upgrade

People say the 265kf is better than the 7900

[young crest]

i assume lga 1867 is gonna have an upgrade path

then go with the 265

[wheat torrent]

Ahh

So wait we have 2 more years until 2027

That's basically one more generation left of processors for am5

[young crest]

and whatever future stuff amd has like how theyre treating am4

if such things happen

id say probably still go with the 265

[lime oriole]

can someone help improve my blackout build? https://no.pcpartpicker.com/list/CvymZc

[wheat torrent]

Ahh so difficult

[indigo basin]

the cat database is REAL

[bitter crater]

rookie numbers

[indigo basin]

:(

[gleaming minnow]

Average

[indigo basin]

give me your cat database then

i need MORE

[gleaming minnow]

48 kbps internet

Supposed to be 400 mbps

[rough juniper]

hey so im building a PC for a friend who does Streaming, Video Editing, Photoshop and Light Gaming is Heavy Gaming is done on Console therefore Gaming Performance comes in a far 2nd vs Productivity and Multitasking, and he is wanting the Intel Ultra 7 265K what are your thought on this CPU for his needs?

[sinful cobalt]

yes 265k good

[steady pulsar]

installing windows 11 on a pc tmr, usb stick i have is only 7.45 gb can i still install it

[tired bear]

perfect speeds

[slim lake]

is 64 gb of ram overkill?

[sinful cobalt]

for gaming? yes

[tired bear]

if you have to ask then yes

[slim lake]

what if i wanna run multiple games at the same time can 32gb do that?

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[slim lake]

like run a msfs 2024 flight in the background, afk some roblox game, and play forza at max settings all at the same time?

(don't judge)

[sinful cobalt]

i have no idea why you wanna do that but sure

idk how much msfs takes but ya

[slim lake]

eh i'll get 32

2x16

if it don't work i'll get another

[tired bear]

that isnt the enemy, browser is the enemy

[steady pulsar]

can i install windows on a 7.45 gb usb

[slim lake]

just use chrome

[tired bear]

its all chromium anyway

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[gleaming minnow]

Beam ng uses 50 gigs

[tidal geyser]

Firefox?

[tidal geyser]

That is 8GB

So yes you can install windows on it

[tired bear]

not gonna happen, hate firefox

[tidal geyser]

Why

[tardy scarab]

how much u got stepbro 32gig ?

[tidal geyser]

Weak

[tired bear]

3.5TB

[tardy scarab]

what r u doing stepbro

[tidal geyser]

Well it's not yours you just manage it

[tired bear]

soon

i shall eat all the ram in the DC

[empty quartz]

:3

[tulip sparrow]

Ok I am pretty sure my 850watt PSU should be able to handle a 7900 XT(X) BUT that is the highest I would go for wattage of a GPU

[tired bear]

what cpu do you have?

[sinful cobalt]

xtx draws like 400 max that psu is fine

[tulip sparrow]

5800X3D

@tired bear

[tidal geyser]

750w is fine even overkill

[tired bear]

thats fine
if you had a 14700k overclocked then i would be more worried

[tulip sparrow]

Pretty sure I got the PSU on sale lol

Think I paid sub $90 for it

if not it was less than $100 I know that

[tulip sparrow]

yeah no ticking time bombs here

[azure topaz]

i think he saidthat more so because they typically draw more power

[sinful cobalt]

it doesnt even matter lol

[tired bear]

yep

[sinful cobalt]

even a 14900 will be fine

[azure topaz]

yeah because no load would be able to completely max both pieces of hardware out

[tulip sparrow]

It is a TUF 850W Gold

[tidal geyser]

So a tier anyways

[tardy scarab]

u think ur a tuf guy ?

[sinful cobalt]

even if its full load assuming 400w xtx and 250w 14900

whatever shit comes after is just headroom

[solar moat]

the lag that makes

[tardy scarab]

250w 😩 https://i.imgur.com/RZdaXgy.png

[idle nymph]

i ended up getting it!

[azure topaz]

bro did not understand the entire conversation and that is clear

[tardy scarab]

who?!

[azure topaz]

250w 😩

[tardy scarab]

intel were like yeah were givin this 200% more power for 5% more perf

[tidal geyser]

Why is it red at 60c

[azure topaz]

because its just the color of the entire thing

red values or anything colored=i want to read them

[tidal geyser]

No

[azure topaz]

????

[tidal geyser]

Top part

[azure topaz]

dont say no to how i have my own hwinfo setup

[tidal geyser]

Well idc about that

[tired bear]

smol pwr

[azure topaz]

its red because i set it to red bro that is what im saying here

"why r they green"

[sinful cobalt]

i said assuming that which is like the worst case scenario

[azure topaz]

no not you the other guy

[sinful cobalt]

oh

[tulip sparrow]

I currently have a 3070 Ti paired with my 5800x3D and yeah its having issues now that newer games even at 1440p require more vram and don't get me started on VR mods

[tired bear]

"no"

[tulip sparrow]

Do ANY Intel CPUs have 8+ P cores?

[indigo basin]

i collected dogs instead

[azure topaz]

this is a dumb question rephrase

because, no shit sherlock

[tulip sparrow]

8 or more performance cores

[azure topaz]

AGAIN.

no shit sherlock

maybe if you throw in "modern desktop" i could give you a different answer

[sinful cobalt]

idk bro I wish there was a web browser to tell me this

one that i can easily search up

[azure topaz]

because there was even desktop intel chips with >8 pcores

[tardy scarab]

why did u get intel floppadog

[azure topaz]

modern desktop? not so much but hey then you get server and etc

[sinful cobalt]

maybe one with an AI response on what cpus might have what u asked and u can go check urself

[tulip sparrow]

that would require looking at different cpus and cross referencing them to each other

[indigo basin]

no

[tulip sparrow]

FUCK OFF with the AI slop

[indigo basin]

daswg

[azure topaz]

overclocking

[sinful cobalt]

ur the one asking straight for the answer not willing to do any work

[indigo basin]

what the hell are xeon chips

[azure topaz]

thats a google question

[indigo basin]

i think they might have more than 8 cores

just a perchance

[tired bear]

yep, xeons do

[tulip sparrow]

I said P cores not just Cores in general

[indigo basin]

.

[azure topaz]

p cores existed as the ONLY core type before e cores were a thing

[tulip sparrow]

There is a difference between p cores and e cores

[azure topaz]

but also, yes, server chips

[indigo basin]

we are so cooked as a society

[pearl fossil]

i wanna build a pc for my cousin, the budget is around €300-350, could anyone help?

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/golshi-goldship-uma-musume-gif-1794682000302844

[indigo basin]

xeons DO NOT HAVE E CORES.

are you DENSE.

[azure topaz]

there is high core count e core xeons just saying

[indigo basin]

okay i stand corrected mb

[tardy scarab]

the 15900 k does . it draws 500w 💪

[indigo basin]

point still stands though

[tired bear]

no you

[azure topaz]

but also, the 10900K has 10 Pcores

want to know why? because ecores werent a thing, they were all performance cores

[indigo basin]

i have slightly outdated information in my head 😔

[sinful cobalt]

that guy’s brain is made out 0P cores and like 6 LP-E cores

[tidal geyser]

What??

[azure topaz]

no way

[tidal geyser]

10850k

[azure topaz]

the 10850k does too

[tidal geyser]

How tf did I not know this

[tulip sparrow]

After E cores became a bloody thing

[tidal geyser]

I thought it was only the 10850k

[plush wren]

[azure topaz]

yes, again, no shit sherlock, xeon chips

[tulip sparrow]

So nothing on standard mainstream got it

[tired bear]

10th gen was very unpopular...

[azure topaz]

thats why i said rephrase because in any fucking context the answer is yes 😭

[indigo basin]

..

[steel umbra]

11900k has 8 💀

[tidal geyser]

I have a non k ye

[tired bear]

if by mainstream you mean grandmas chromebook then no

[tulip sparrow]

PRettyu sure Xeons compition is threadripper/epyc

[indigo basin]

i own a xeon
it cost me less than a pizza from dominos

[sinful cobalt]

this guy has convinced me that anybody saying AI is outright slop without knowing how to research properly are outright idiots

[tidal geyser]

Its 3am and I have my front door and a window open as wide as I can

[tulip sparrow]

And that would be Highend desktop/server grade

[azure topaz]

loser i have a 2690 v4

[sinful cobalt]

sleep

[indigo basin]

im going to eat your chip.

[azure topaz]

its okay i have extras

[indigo basin]

im going to eat a bag of chips

[tired bear]

imagine seing graphs instead of numbers

[indigo basin]

:(

[tulip sparrow]

Think I went looking at mobile CPUS and I think those topped out at 6 P cores on the newer stuff

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/washed-cat-gif-16204727450519099950

[plush wren]

[tidal geyser]

Amd does 16

[agile stag]

do NOT leave your thinkpad in a florida garage for months

[tulip sparrow]

On the Intel side lol

[indigo basin]

single use whiteboard

[high elm]

lmao my friend sent me this from his pc

[tidal geyser]

Worst part is that a few hrs ago I got it down to 22c closed my window and door tried to sleep bu the temp slowly crept back up to 25c

[agile stag]

fair use for it

[tulip sparrow]

I was thinking of at least 6 P cores for "Gaming" on mobile and I was wondering if Intel even offered that amount they do but its like a couple of CPUS

[indigo basin]

i feel that
my room climbs even with my window open

[sinful cobalt]

@azure topaz when are you gonna come to my sch, OC and destroy all these DDR2 and 3 systems

[agile stag]

do any of you guys wanna buy a sticky laptop

[indigo basin]

yes

i have 20 pennies to my name

[agile stag]

very very cheap uh hmm

[tidal geyser]

I'm at the bottom floor around a forest swampy kinda area

[agile stag]

gr i dont know if thatll be enough

[grizzled frost]

i love my ddr3 system though

[agile stag]

ill see

[plain cypress]

Um no

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah the coating is NOT built for long term use that is for sure

[tired bear]

having AC is bliss

[azure topaz]

antiquated tech is at the lowest priority on my oc scale

[agile stag]

grr ok

[tulip sparrow]

Use to have a Thinkpad T420 and yeah it was a MESS

[indigo basin]

by technnicality, discord could be a search engine

[tidal geyser]

If my window is open and a light is on every bug in a 10 mile radius comes

[agile stag]

i have two of them but ive never found a sticky thinkpad before but these two t450s are sticky

[tired bear]

electrify the mosquito netting

[plain cypress]

By technicality, you could wire me $4000

[agile stag]

i have a fine feeling t410 though and i just got a p50

and all my other thinkpads are fine i think

[indigo basin]

im 17
i have never seen a number bigger than 1000 in my bank account
i am afraid this is not feasible

[tidal geyser]

This place was renovated in 2013 go have the best insulation but could not be bothered to install a heat pump

[plain cypress]

I'll take a thousand

[tulip sparrow]

And that T420 was with me when I was living in Michigan so yeah NOT even Florida weather hitting it

[indigo basin]

i have 20 pence to my name right now

transfer fees for GBP to USD are 50 pence with my bank

and another 50p for overseas

i am still afraid, i cannot wire you money

[tired bear]

i dont understand how people dont know that any cheap split ac unit nowadays is a heat pump

[tidal geyser]

Funny thing they have a heat pump it's a kinda combined house thing and they rent out a lower part of the house

[tired bear]

no J*B?

[tidal geyser]

Typing on phone is pain

[indigo basin]

im trying :(

[tidal geyser]

Tbf they said something about it not doing cooling or something

[tired bear]

highly doubt that
you can even cool with a "in floor heating" via a heat pump but you need to set temps carefully as to not cause condensation and preferably install a dehumidifier so that dew point can be lowered

[tidal geyser]

|: I have in floor water heating

But its just connected to hot water so not much that can happen there

[indigo basin]

i have 2 computers instead of heating

[tidal geyser]

I could try and ask them if something like it would be possible tho

[tired bear]

best option is to just install a mini split ac on the wall for about 350e + labor

[south sphinx]

Yoo, anyone got slim 'L' usb 3.0 front AIO adapter for this issue? Any ideas of fixing it is much appreciated..

[tidal geyser]

I have nothing but a fridge and some basic networking equipment in the room

[tidal geyser]

Really that cheap

[tired bear]

or you can buy a vacuum pump and a hvac flare tool and install it yourself

[tidal geyser]

Well no since I both rent and all the other stuff

[tired bear]

https://youtu.be/2GwWztBfnrU
this fella explains it nicely

[tidal geyser]

Tbf I will be here another year

[tired bear]

ah, Renting is such a PITA

[tidal geyser]

So many things i wanna do

[tired bear]

i was never in the rental but there are some horrible landlords stories out there

[tidal geyser]

I know

These ones are great

Just not up with the times

At least its getting cooled down in here

Just not enough

It's 17c outside

[tired bear]

That humidity is insane, you probably have mold somewhere

[tidal geyser]

Noooo its fineeee

[south sphinx]

Found it, i think it'll be fine

[tidal geyser]

Could be worse

Maybe just something from going from 32c go 17c

30min of front door being wide open and window too while the central fan is maxed out has given me a massive 3c temp reduction

[empty quartz]

@tidal geyser peak minecraft right here

[tidal geyser]

I'm overheating to death over here

[solid elk]

Chat, rate setup 🔥🔥

[solar moat]

run PYPrime 2.2

[indigo basin]

i ran linpack uesterdau
i get around 210GFlops

[solar moat]

wait what?

idk what expect not to be same as my 4790k

is the ram runing at like 1066mhz or somthign

[indigo basin]

yeah 😭

i need to fix it but booting to BIOS is a nightmare since i cant actually get a display out on it without rdp

quad

4x 8 gig
the sticks are technically capable of 3200MHz but the config is wrong

im looking on upgrading the memory to something more suitable

[clear canyon]

What cpu

[indigo basin]

e5 2680 v4

[solar moat]

ddr4 2133 in quad channe shoud be way better

[clear canyon]

Neat

[solar moat]

just for the memes run PYPrime

[clear canyon]

But 4x8 gig sticks makes me sad 😭

[indigo basin]

it makes me sad too

[solar moat]

why?

[indigo basin]

its painfully slow

[clear canyon]

Gonna need to beef up!

[solar moat]

are they x16?

[clear canyon]

8x32 gig sticks

[vast forge]

dumb question, i just recently got a 7900xtx and every time i boot my pc into windows the monitors start out gray until i unplug my monitor from the gpu and plug it back in, does anyone have any idea why this happens

[clear canyon]

Is drivers installed?

[vast forge]

i installed amd adrenaline, i think thats all i need right

[indigo basin]

i think so

[clear canyon]

Easy way is to check task manager

[vast forge]

i also have 4x8 and its super old too

runs at a super weird speed as well lol

[solar moat]

wdym " super weird speed "

[vast forge]

i thought they ran at like 3200 or 3600, thats running at 2133

[solar moat]

dose you board let you ram oc?

[vast forge]

i dont even know to be honest

[solar moat]

if not DONT GET RAM WITH XMP

[vast forge]

i have ddr4, not 5

[solar moat]

2133 is very commen ddr4 jedec bin for ram with xmp

[vast forge]

i thought xmp was good

is it just good for ddr5?

what an interesting mutual server by the way

[solar moat]

ddr5 at least i not seen it just be slower then leaving it off but same problems

as ddr3/ddr4

[vast forge]

im probably gonna go with AMD soon anyways, so id be using amd expo instead

[solar moat]

your 100% that board letting it run quad channel and not duel channe;

[solar moat]

expo is just renambed xmp its the same shit

[vast forge]

i know it is

[vast forge]

no idea how to fix that as i havent learned about the bios yet

[tidal geyser]

No expo and xmp are different

[vast forge]

i dont even know what speed my ram is supposed to run at either

ah, well i dont really know what to do exactly. My ram hasnt caused any issues that im aware of but if it could run faster thatd be cool to know how

my issue is with my gpu

[vast forge]

which is this

[solar moat]

hwinfo64 send image of SPD

[vast forge]

1s

[solar moat]

load xmp

[vast forge]

like turn it on in my bios?

[solar moat]

maybe since mixing ram it did not work

[vast forge]

my ram is all the same i think

[solar moat]

did it come as 1 kit or not

[vast forge]

i bought this computer used

[solar moat]

rip

[vast forge]

and the ram is the only thing i havent replaced

seem the same to me though

[solar moat]

welp you can try maunal oc of ram if xmp dose not work

at least my ddr3 is faster then that ram

[vast forge]

what LMAO

[solar moat]

it runs at 1200mhz

[vast forge]

o

ill try restarting and enabling xmp

[silk sail]

Average low budget situation

(At least it works)

[shrewd ridge]

5060ti 8gb or arc 580 or 9060xt 8gb

[steel umbra]

very efficient crt monitor and pc when it can run below 1 watt worth of hampster power

[sinful cobalt]

b580

[shrewd ridge]

could u explain why xd

[sinful cobalt]

the other 2 cards are going to hit the 8gb wall

[steel umbra]

don’t buy 5060 ti 8gb nor 9060 xt 8gb unless your application explicitly doesn’t need more than that

[silk sail]

The situation:

[split shore]

Hey guys I just got this case and I was wondering if I can mount fans on the bottom and if so how would I? Also I got a 360 aio for the top so can’t put them there

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fc88TW/montech-xr-atx-mid-tower-case-xr-b

[steel umbra]

i would just spend the extra ~30 to get extra +8gb

[split shore]

I have 6 fans in total not including the aio

[shrewd ridge]

2nd question. 13400f or 7500f

[steel umbra]

7500f

or do you need multicore performance

[silk sail]

1 watt, fr

[steep plover]

hey is there a channel for specifically tech support

[silk sail]

😭

[steel umbra]

question numba 2: why do you have this at home
~||expected answers: self defense, hunting||~

[silk sail]

of course man

the device is not overkill

[sinful cobalt]

i wonder what #1027757333117415424 is

[solar moat]

kind of small

[steel umbra]

that scope

[silk sail]

🔥

[fallow bluff]

Hot topic: Do I continue using a windows powered Asus Predator Helios 300, or take the company bought Macbook Air M4?

[silk sail]

mmmmm

[solar moat]

m4 very good mobile chip

mosty for battry life

windose on laptop kind of suck

[silk sail]

a catch 22 situation for me

[silk sail]

mmmm, that makes sense

[fallow bluff]

I would take the macbook with a more modern spec, battery, and processor, at the cost of switching to an apple environment. Or I continue using this laptop, though outdated as of now since it was made in 2017, is still reliable and is running windows, while having decent specs with a NVIDIA 1060 and an intel i5 8300h, though with a lower 8gb ram and 100gb storage

[silk sail]

yeah

I would say that adapting yourself is difficult, but possible

[silk sail]

If you can adapt to this environment, and it is not difficult for you, I would recommend it

[fallow bluff]

I have some familiarity with Mac OS anyways. So take the Macbook?

[silk sail]

If you believe and analyze that the conditions in you are adequate, do it

as long as it is not an obstacle to your goals

[shrewd ridge]

how much better is 9060xt 16gb over the arc b580? im just trying to justify the price diference

[hoary hare]

hell there

[frigid blade]

hell

[hoary hare]

bro what

[bitter depot]

is the 3090 worth it rn?

[hoary hare]

yep

[silk sail]

if you lowball it

a yes

[shrewd ridge]

hellyante

[hoary hare]

3090 i really like that card

[bitter depot]

how much tho

like 500-700?

[silk sail]

depends, but cheapers ones are the mined

lmfao

[hoary hare]

bro mining damage is overrated

its not that bad

[rigid ether]

9060 xt 16gb is 40-46% better

[silk sail]

yeah

i bought mined cards

[shrewd ridge]

is there a middle ground between the two?

[bitter depot]

how much should mined cards go for tho

[silk sail]

and not bad

[hoary hare]

bro are you a gamer

or miner

[bitter depot]

I need the 24gb vram for ai

[rigid ether]

what resolution do u plan to play at

[shrewd ridge]

1080p

[silk sail]

Slavic gamer

Server parts, and used hardware

[rigid ether]

nothing really worth buying between those 2 cards

[silk sail]

(exceptions: PSU, SSDs)

[hoary hare]

go with a used nvdia titan p40 24gb for ai training @bitter depot

[shrewd ridge]

fr?

[rigid ether]

yes

[shrewd ridge]

So its either oine of the other? thats a big difference

40%

[azure topaz]

theres no such thing as a "titan p40"

[bitter depot]

alr thx

[azure topaz]

theres a tesla p40, theres a titan, they are not apart of the same product line

[hoary hare]

go with a used nvdia titan p40 24gb for ai training @bitter depot

[silk sail]

fr

[hoary hare]

tesla i mean sorry

[silk sail]

🤝

[bitter depot]

can I still use it for like light gaming

[azure topaz]

not really

no displayouts on tesla cards, youd have to do a hacky work around

[hoary hare]

yes he can

[silk sail]

bypass it

[azure topaz]

as well as no MUX switch=performance loss

and i assure you your desktop does not have one of these

[silk sail]

It is a process similar to bypassing the CMPs

😭

[hoary hare]

bro he has 1 card right he was gaming before use that and 2 gpu and voila

[azure topaz]

also yeesh these gpus are 300+$ rn is that really the meta for budget ai

300$ for a pascal gpu

[bitter depot]

nah, I’m building my first pc

I’ve been running everything through my MacBook on bootcamp

[hoary hare]

use a GeForce GTX 1650

[shrewd ridge]

is it true 9060xt 16gb is 40% better than the arc b580

[azure topaz]

probably

[silk sail]

buy an rx 6600

hehehehe

[shrewd ridge]

is there anything in between the two floppa

[silk sail]

i bought one OEM, from chinna

[hoary hare]

use a GeForce GTX 1650 @bitter depot

[bitter depot]

I’ll think abt it

[azure topaz]

older gpus, which i wouldnt suggest unless you want used

[broken harbor]

i have both cpu and gpu outdated, which should i upgrade 1st? Cpu or vga? A ryzen 1800 and R9 270

[silk sail]

$170 for an OEM RX 6600

😭

[hoary hare]

@bitter depot use nvdia tesla p40 and use a GeForce GTX 1650

[shrewd ridge]

is 13400f and arcb580 a good combo or should i go 13400f/9060xt 16gb for 1080p gaming

[bitter depot]

ok

[azure topaz]

id get a 9060 if your budget allows that duh

[rigid ether]

why intel cpu

[azure topaz]

cheap

[silk sail]

yeah

fair enough

without bypassing anything

[shrewd ridge]

the 7500f is 2x the price for the price of 13400f in canada. unless i get the 7500f from aliexpress

13400 $169. 7500f $267

[azure topaz]

not worth the wait

[silk sail]

no dramas

[azure topaz]

13400 is indeed good for that price

[silk sail]

wise words

[hoary hare]

you can game and ai and if you can use dual cards at once if you know to do that you will get so many performance @bitter depot

[shrewd ridge]

thx floppa

should i get 14400f for $20 more @azure topaz

[azure topaz]

no

[silk sail]

💀

[azure topaz]

same cpu, no difference iirc

[rigid ether]

no

[shrewd ridge]

it says the boost clock on the 14400f is .1 more

[silk sail]

c4 explosive

[azure topaz]

yeah theyre the same base specs

[azure topaz]

thats not worth 20$

[shrewd ridge]

but its the latest gen? no difference?

[bitter depot]

I’ll think abt it, if I can steal my friends old 3090 for like 650 I’ll just go with that instead

[azure topaz]

an imperceivable difference, get food or something

[shrewd ridge]

that kinda sucks for intel right

[silk sail]

a KFC menu

[azure topaz]

you literally couldnt even measure the difference between the two

[silk sail]

[azure topaz]

100mhz is nothing, theyre based off the same underlying blueprints

[azure topaz]

low end chips is always like that

[shrewd ridge]

aight

[silk sail]

Anything is possible in the PC world, hehehe

even getting a laptop CPU in a desktop mobo

[azure topaz]

imo, anything "mobile" using desktop parts isnt a laptop or mobile

yeah my 17 pound laptop with a 7700k and 2 gtx 1080s in it

[silk sail]

fr

[silk sail]

🤣

[plush wren]

i slept for 2 hours

[shrewd ridge]

Candian. Is it worth to spend that much on ram?

[trim gyro]

looks about right

I paid around $100 USD for DDR4 when it was more expensive

[dapper dragon]

Yea

[shrewd ridge]

Ok

[limber nacelle]

id say so

I wouldnt want less than 32gb of ram on a modern gaming pc tbh

especially not 16gb of ddr5

[fierce raven]

Is it weird that I can’t install windows 11 from a usb but I can with windows 10

[trim gyro]

yes

[solar moat]

32GB is min for ddr5 but 16GB is fine for many

[limber nacelle]

hence gaming

[jaunty apex]

Aren't most 16gb kits just one stick

[limber nacelle]

unless you're playing comp games

[solar moat]

most games are fine with only 16GB

[jaunty apex]

Or am I dumb

[solar moat]

or x16

like all 8GB/12GB ddr5 sticks are x16 and that bad

[fierce raven]

At least I should be able to upgrade to 11 later anyway

[stark kiln]

I pulled out a 10/10 horror save

So basically I was watching a TikTok about momo (shit scared me so bad as a kid) and I'm cautious of pictures and shit. So far so good

Till suddenly there's a guy sending "Still scared" of a photo. Which isn't loaded fully but oh boy I knew it was that Fuckass bird.

So I pull a 10/10 reaction and save it from my trigger

Anyway should I get the A750 or wait till RTX 5050 is cheaper and I can buy it?

[jaunty apex]

The thought of having a 50/50 gpu sounds kinda depressing

[stark kiln]

50/50 chance of rain tracing

[limber nacelle]

nothing low end lackwell is worth it

[stark kiln]

So which one?

[limber nacelle]

It pains me to say it but id sooner buy something amd

doesn't even have to be rdna4

[jaunty apex]

Lol

[limber nacelle]

could be something rdna3

[stark kiln]

So the Rx 6600? My Gpu budgets 200$ in a 420 build

But out of 2 which one would you recommend

[limber nacelle]

I dont like either option

but id advise against the a750

unless you know what arc entails

[stark kiln]

How come?

[stark kiln]

It's my first PC from a shitty laptop so anything that runs games (specifically CS2 but there's way more) works

So I got 3 options
RTX 5050/3060
Arc a750 (maybe B570 when they go at MSRP or below)
Rx 6600

[limber nacelle]

id say save more money before buying a pc

[haughty compass]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/167587898015
is this listing worth it for $67?

[jaunty apex]

I can recommend an RX 6700. You won't be tracing rays tho

[barren breach]

Evga Gtx 1080ti ftw3 lol

Uh oh

[stark kiln]

Nvidia cut off support for 10 series so nah

[barren breach]

I see all that typing lmao

[limber nacelle]

fuck no

[stark kiln]

Iwont upgrade for a while

[steel umbra]

i wouldn’t buy the 5050 personally, it’s way too cutdown and more like a 5040 at $250

[limber nacelle]

1080ti is so glazed

[stark kiln]

So 3060 as a NVIDIA option?

[stark kiln]

It's good but NOT on levels of 30 series.

[limber nacelle]

shit was slow 5 years ago

[barren breach]

Im still rocking it and it still performs great tbh. Just ordered a 5070ti tho

[steel umbra]

at under 150 maybe

[limber nacelle]

matched by a literal low end gpu from 5 years ago

[stark kiln]

If nothing works I'll get A750. Maybe Rx 6600

[barren breach]

3060?

[solar moat]

lol

[limber nacelle]

correct

[barren breach]

Yeah yeah still does great for what I play lol

[jaunty apex]

Holy fuck it's been 5 years since 30 series?

[steel umbra]

yeah just don’t get the 5050, even 5060/ti 8gb looks good in comparison to that junkyard card

[solar moat]

still new

[steel umbra]

ideally get used

[stark kiln]

Alr. I'll get a750 or the Rx 6600. Id get the B570 or B580 but rn they're price is inflated above MSRP

[stark kiln]

All of my stuff but case PSU (Obv) and fans is used lol

[barren breach]

Definitely get used if you can find decent deals in your area

[stark kiln]

Also is an A320 motherboard good for R5 3600

[steel umbra]

used 3080 will blow out the 5050 off earth for most tasks

[limber nacelle]

ada is 2-3 now

[jaunty apex]

I'd probably lean towards the 6600 if you insist on it but I'd probably go a step up.

[limber nacelle]

though ada fucking rocks

love my 4000 ada sff

[stark kiln]

Id lean on a750 (idk I just like it) but I got time to figure it out and ask y'all

[jaunty apex]

What makes you like it more lol

I'm talking purely from a functionality standpoint

[limber nacelle]

hm?

[stark kiln]

Also is a MSI am a320m motherboard decent?

[steel umbra]

look how old ampere is

[limber nacelle]

look at what I responded to

[steel umbra]

explode

[limber nacelle]

me if i didn't have a sick gpu

ballin

[steel umbra]

yeah you get thermonuked instead of exploded

[limber nacelle]

oh nooooo my 70w gpu is going to kill me with heat

[jaunty apex]

Can you buy used?

[limber nacelle]

cook me alive

[steel umbra]

i knew you would respond with how your lovely ada gpu is efficient and wont grill your room

[jaunty apex]

Sounds about right. Wouldn't post it here tho

Always use a wrapper (Adblock)

[steel umbra]

anyways enough of funne jokin explodin

[stark kiln]

Good or bad PSU?

[limber nacelle]

its true

[stark kiln]

My system will use up roughly 378w of energy

[limber nacelle]

my 2080ti literally idles higher than my max draw on the ada sff

[jaunty apex]

Looks decent enough.

[steel umbra]

meh

what’s the price?

[stark kiln]

Like 55$ iirc

Im not spending below 45 on a PSU though

[jaunty apex]

Damn I'd buy it if my budget were tiny

[steel umbra]

meh

[stark kiln]

I'm not gonna have this

[jaunty apex]

Sapphire?

[steel umbra]

xfx made psus too

[stark kiln]

It's meh but so is my setup. So no bottleneck 😝

[jaunty apex]

Damn

[stark kiln]

(I'll pair a 3600 with a750... Where did I turn wrong)

[steel umbra]

i would buy montech apx, should be cheaper

[jaunty apex]

Yea an a320m is a part of it

[azure dirge]

Compressed air and a tooth pick is all you need to clean a phone charging port right just checking before I do it

[steel umbra]

thermaltake sucks, avoid their psus

they do part swappage

[stark kiln]

This?

[steel umbra]

buy montech apx

[stark kiln]

I was told it's bad

[jaunty apex]

Why don't you put all this into pcpartpicker

[steel umbra]

the gx2 isn’t any better

[stark kiln]

They don't do used and then price goes from 420$ to +600

[stark kiln]

People tell me to do different stuff idk who to believe now 😭

[jaunty apex]

Ignore the pricing. It's just a bill of materials as far as I'm concerned. And you can set the price

[stark kiln]

1 tells me it's ass you tell me it's good ATP I'll just get KSAS.

[stark kiln]

Sure tuen

[steel umbra]

montech apx 550 goes for like 45, it has similar electrical performance to the gx2, but the apx has smaller chance of being silently swapped again for something worse

[gentle kestrel]

it's not a great psu but for the system you're building is fine

the apx is a bit worse on the spl list but idk enough about low end units

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/htmlview?gid=1973454078#

[steel umbra]

same tier*

[gentle kestrel]

c+ vs c-

[steel umbra]

c- vs c-

you don’t know if he’s not getting the swapped unit

[jaunty apex]

c++ vs c#

[steel umbra]

or something possibly worse

[jaunty apex]

Shrodingers psu

[stark kiln]

It's ass. A750 on Amazon is below 200$ while on the site it's 300

[steel umbra]

thermaltake swapped atleast half of their low-midhigh end lineup to celink

[gentle kestrel]

pcpartpicker is not ass

[jaunty apex]

OK keep sending screenshots from different websites I won't look at then lol

[steel umbra]

also, it’s said that they did not recertificate the new versions to 80+ labs

[gentle kestrel]

it's like the best way to tell hardware compat at a quick glance

[barren breach]

Trying to help a friend upgrade his PC, switching him over to AM5, and hes getting a 9070xt. What is going to match that 9070xt better? The Ryzen 5 9600x or the Ryzen 7 7700x? I dont know much about the Ryzen chips

[short shoal]

Very bad psu would not recommend.

[steel umbra]

basicly, they kept the 80+ old certificate and didn’t test the new one for efficiency

[stark kiln]

They show prices that are even more inflated though. And that skews the person seeing them views

[gentle kestrel]

i mean did you expect a good unit from segotep in the first place

[jaunty apex]

Like I said you can edit the price if it bothers you that much

[short shoal]

I didn’t choose it i just have to fix the issues it has caused

[gentle kestrel]

just override the price if it bugs you that much

[stark kiln]

Wait what I didn't know that

[gentle kestrel]

it'll still handle all the other layout

[jaunty apex]

I literally said it twice

I'm leaving lmao

[stark kiln]

Wait so which PSU you recommend again?

(it's like 1am I'm tired Tbf)

(so mb if I forgot)

[steel umbra]

ye

[steel umbra]

c# or c++++

or is it c- - - - - - - -

[gentle kestrel]

neither of them personally but they're both going to handle that low end of a system fine probably

[jaunty apex]

🦀

[steel umbra]

boooo rust
cult
gatekeep

use rust

[jaunty apex]

Gonna be the first language I learn

[steel umbra]

rust. don’t use c++ even if it’s more useful in that specific use case, always use rust.

[steel umbra]

noooo the gatekeepers got you

[jaunty apex]

sudo-rs

[random gyro]

got this gaming desktop today, and i play fortnite (yes i do but idc its a game i like lmao)

so every 5 seconds i have a freeze that lasts for 5 seconds, making the game unusable. my ping skyrockets and shiii, so im thinking i might need to get an ethernet cord or something, but will that solve the issue or is there a bigger problem?

[steel umbra]

it’s kinda heartbreaking to see people having problems with their c++ code and are halfway done, make a reddit post and second response you see is to use rust

[jaunty apex]

Bruh

[stark kiln]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

[gentle kestrel]

you need to add the other stuff

[stark kiln]

What?

[gentle kestrel]

link like this

you just sent the empty list page

[steel umbra]

rust is awe, but i see people pushing it even where it’s not necessary/better

[stark kiln]

Oh I need to sign in I forgot my password

[gentle kestrel]

you can just do it anon

it's at the top of the page

[stark kiln]

Oh ok ty https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qKv82x

I just don't use it that much

[random gyro]

anyone??

[stark kiln]

Check other wifis. Use hotspot etc. see if it's a Ethernet problem. Otherwise it could be like a hardware issue?

[steel umbra]

how much is montech apx 550/650/750?

[stark kiln]

Lemme see

46$

[steel umbra]

also you already have the ryzen 5 3600 for 70?

[steel umbra]

get dat

[jaunty apex]

Yeah. I mean I personally can't have much of an opinion about it as I don't know any assembly language (or any at all) but I like the idea behind it. Don't necessarily think it has to replace everything though, that just sounds kinda dumb.

[steel umbra]

or if you find xpg pylon

[stark kiln]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/newjat

[stark kiln]

No I'm still waiting for stuff to buy in october.

[random gyro]

i hope its not a hardware issue, i just got this pc today 😭

[stark kiln]

Damn. But try out doff internets or your phone hotspot.

[steel umbra]

oh, why you’re making the list now? in october stuff’s gonna be different

[stark kiln]

I was told to look out right now. So I'm just making a vague list

It'll def change by October but right now. I'm just speculating

But will my stuff fit in case?

[steel umbra]

definitely don’t get the $67 ryzen 5 3600 that’s just 2x the price it’s worth

[steel umbra]

yes

matx case + matx mobo

atx psu

[stark kiln]

Now it's 417 which fits into my budget

[steel umbra]

not that bad but what about used 5600/x?

[stark kiln]

There like 60$ or more expensive

[steel umbra]

yeah, i don’t know who told you that but they’re wasting our time

[stark kiln]

I meant by my parents

[steel umbra]

in a month half or third of the parts may get sold out/out of sale, or raise in price

if not more than half

[stark kiln]

Most of parts on eBay stay there for a while. If they go up on price that's another problem tho

[gentle kestrel]

if you're buying all used in october you have no reason to look rn

prices are gonna swing any which direction

[stark kiln]

I look since like 2024.

[gentle kestrel]

you could very much get a 3600/3060 for all we know

[stark kiln]

I am just curious.

And even so if I do get it I wanna preparers with like extra time

[jaunty apex]

Lol. Took me like 3 years (6 if you count high school) to get the GPU I wanted, and I went amd instead of nvidia

[stark kiln]

This is my 2nd year getting the computer from my dusty 2022 laptop
(It has i5-7200u hd620)

I'll use it as monitor till I get 1 so it still won't be retired yet

[sinful cobalt]

took me 4 months to pull the trigger after internship

[shrewd ridge]

5060 8gb vs arc b580?

for 1080p esport games

[sinful cobalt]

5060 wins in horsepower but b580 has more vram headroom so is more flexible if you want to play other titles

[shrewd ridge]

which would u choose setsuna

[sinful cobalt]

are u willing to suffer a bit with intel drivers? arent THAT bad as compared to before but its still B tier compared to the other 2 being S tier

the b580 is objectively the better card

[shrewd ridge]

just cuz of the vram @sinful cobalt ?

[sinful cobalt]

yes

lets say u play smth like cyberpunk, after some time of gameplay the 5060 is prob gonna stutter due to vram limit

[shrewd ridge]

ooh ok

[gentle kestrel]

b580 at msrp

if they're both $300 i'd take the 5060 just because of less cpu overhead

[shrewd ridge]

well ill tell u in canadian $

here the b580 is $357. 5060 8gb is $420. 9060 xt 16gb is $540

[gentle kestrel]

yeah that's roughly about the price difference here

just triple check that the b580 works in the titles you want to play before getting it

[shrewd ridge]

im just trying to think about these 3

[gentle kestrel]

i wouldn't do the 9060 xt for that much really

[shrewd ridge]

can u help me. its for my gf shell play minecraft league valorant it takes 2 then maybe some newer story games. Is b580 good for it?

okk

[gentle kestrel]

yeah should be fine for those

i think cs2 is the only esport title that heavily favors nvidia still

[shrewd ridge]

ok and then the cpu im pairing it with a 13400f. is that a good combo?

[gentle kestrel]

yeah that'd be fine

13400f is an alder die so it's immune to the raptor issues

[hazy flame]

Hello, I have tried to reinstall my windows 11 on my PC and during the windows setup it froze sobI restarted PC which then just turns black after windows loading. What could be the issue?

[gentle kestrel]

oh wait it is actually raptor but it's so low voltage it wouldn't matter

just update the bios when you build it and you're good

[shrewd ridge]

do u think the b580 will be future proof. im just debating whether i should save the extra moneyt to get the 9060xt 16gb

[gentle kestrel]

for 1080 i don't see the reasonable lifespan of the card making 12gb be an issue

[shrewd ridge]

would u go 9060xt 16gb over 5060ti 16gb kyoko?

oh yea ur right

[gentle kestrel]

would depend on pricing

if you're playing story based titles where stuff like rt brings up the vram use i'd rather have dlss over fsr

but if it's substantially more than the amd option then i would consider that first

[shrewd ridge]

ive just always gone team green

[gentle kestrel]

if i remember right the 5060ti 16gb is priced closely to the 5070

[shrewd ridge]

I have a 3070 right now

[gentle kestrel]

and i'd rather have the 5070 even with 12gb just bc it's a lot faster

[shrewd ridge]

and never had any problems with it. Are the drivers on radeon still bad/

[gentle kestrel]

i didnt have any issues with my 6700 xt when i ran it

i had hardware issues with vega but that's like 6 years in the past now

[shrewd ridge]

when did the 50 series come out?

[gentle kestrel]

april for 5060ti

january for the 5090

[shrewd ridge]

oh gotchu

wha tabout the b580

[gentle kestrel]

december 2024

so around the same time

[shrewd ridge]

u got any other recommenddations for this build to make it cheaper? the aio, microatx and wifi is a requirement.

[gentle kestrel]

in about a year you might see some 50 super cards launch but nothing should come out in the immediate future to shift card tiering much on the low end

i think honestly that's about as cheap as stuff is gonna go

[shrewd ridge]

okk

[gentle kestrel]

might be able to find some cheaper ram but idk cad to usd that well in my head

[shrewd ridge]

do u think my gf will like it

[gentle kestrel]

dont see why not

yeah that's the cheapest white ddr5 in that spec

[shrewd ridge]

hehe

like if i made this build for u would u be happy

[gentle kestrel]

if i didnt have a pc yeah

rn it'd be a downgrade

[shrewd ridge]

its just crazy cuz like the 9060xt is 40% better and i feel like there should be a card in between

[gentle kestrel]

low end market hasn't really changed a lot in recent years

used 6700xt could be an option too i guess

actually i wouldn't do that

rather have xess 2.0 then only software fsr

[livid fern]

82$ for sama gt nawww

[gentle kestrel]

82 cad

[shrewd ridge]

is that good?

is the sama gt a good psu?

[gentle kestrel]

thats ~60 usd

[livid fern]

Wait cad

[shrewd ridge]

thx are u canadian too kyoko

[gentle kestrel]

no

i just convert to cad often

[livid fern]

Then its okay-ish
Its Same price in USA (without converting)

[gentle kestrel]

i dont like their endorsement

[livid fern]

Yes

Would be better choice than abn 🙂

[shrewd ridge]

is this from sama?

[gentle kestrel]

it's the spl list but yeah

[shrewd ridge]

what do u think about this case kyoko

[livid fern]

Deepcool

[gentle kestrel]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/x96p99/corsair-cx650m-2021-650-w-80-bronze-certified-semi-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020221-na this is lower 80% but doesn't have the same ocp issues

imma be real you dont wanna ask me about aesthetics i want the 80s clone box from silverstone as my next case

this thing

[shrewd ridge]

it doesnt rlly look nice

[trim gyro]

it's almost perfect

[shrewd ridge]

like a sleeper build

[gentle kestrel]

it is very late but i would look at this for psu comparsions if you wanna shop around https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/htmlview?gid=1973454078#

[shrewd ridge]

but theyre expenisive

psus

[gentle kestrel]

the psu is also the only component that can kill every other one

[livid fern]

Nou

[gentle kestrel]

you don't need a 1200w platinum like i have but the corsair i linked has a lot better protections for 20 bucks more

[shrewd ridge]

this is rlly confusing kyoko

it says hellyante

[gentle kestrel]

if something is the notes tab it is the important part

otherwise just look for c or better

[livid fern]

Helly is oem

[livid fern]

Both have protections 🙂
Only issue is the tuning

Ideally it needs to be ~130% range even lower on non 12v rails

[gentle kestrel]

yeah its just 2am

not time for in depth psu from me

[livid fern]

Cx650m has ~143% which is fine minor rails

[gentle kestrel]

but yes better tuned ocp is why i linked it

that and whatever "mediocre electrical performance" meant

[livid fern]

Load regulation and ripple etc:)

[balmy jewel]

dude on marketplace is offering a 3050 and an i5 12400 f for $150, worth it?

[gentle kestrel]

that doesn't sound bad

[solar moat]

sounds good for buget system any ofther parts

[shrewd ridge]

what is the risk of buyuing from marketplace

[balmy jewel]

getting jugged

[solar moat]

all the nomral ones of might get jumped/not working/scammed

[gentle kestrel]

the second the guy drives off the warranty period has ended

[balmy jewel]

worth upgrading from a 1650 and i3 10100 f?

[solar moat]

not that crazy of update and you many need new ram/mobo

[shrewd ridge]

rtx 3070 or bn560

b580

[balmy jewel]

hmm alright ty

[shut gazelle]

I cant change turbo ratios any idea how i can i wanna set all of them to x53 but greyed out and i cant click them

[gentle kestrel]

what board and cpu

[shut gazelle]

13700k z690

[solar moat]

in the oc meun just set 53 raito/voltage

[shut gazelle]

How do i do that

[solar moat]

[raven scroll]

Rog cant be real bruv

What is this

[late path]

Normalise spending time and money to optimise games

[late path]

Miku PC

[haughty compass]

is this worth it with my coupon?

[glacial tulip]

just got the blue screen of death

what should i do

[haughty compass]

just take a photo of it and restart ur pc

or wait for it to auto restart

[glacial tulip]

it blue screened then shut off

[haughty compass]

its fine

not all bsod are crazy

some are just errors like if an app tries to use ram that dont exist for example

[glacial tulip]

marvel rivals keeps crashing too

[haughty compass]

could be marvel rivals related

does it happen in other apps?

or just specifically marvel rivals

[glacial tulip]

my pc never crashed before

[haughty compass]

likely an issue with marvel rivals

[glacial tulip]

usual marvel rivals incident

[haughty compass]

cus valorant for example bsod my pc every now and then when I tab out

take a photo of the bsod next time it happens

and search up the error

[late path]

Sometimes if my battery dies during valorant session and I charge and open it too late it will bsod

Some vanguard stuff

[dapper dragon]

Still pissed I missed out on grabbing the Noctua psu

[haughty compass]

wdym what happened
