[swift moss]

go to taskbar settings

[amber adder]

oh no

it doesnt show now

how can I open it without the task bar

[swift moss]

tap windows key

[wet ember]

I've fallen victim to the Samsung bloating battery. Completely forgot to keep my S9 charged and boot it once in a while

[swift moss]

and start typing taskbar settings

[amber adder]

ok

[wet ember]

Dude I wanna use this S9 for a photoshoot

[amber adder]

that fixed it but if i turn it off again

[wet ember]

Is it safe to plug in?

[amber adder]

does it work? normally?

[wet ember]

I should probably plug it in outside and use a garden hose if it catches fire

[swift moss]

no clue, you wanted it permanently visible?

[proper gull]

Water on a lithium fire? Are you insane?

[amber adder]

yes

[gleaming rose]

what happens when you throw a chunk of lithium in water

[wet ember]

Oh is that bad?

[amber adder]

if i put it on top

[gleaming rose]

or pretty much any alkali metal

[amber adder]

does it fix?

[wet ember]

I'll put it in a metal container to suffocate the flames then

[gleaming rose]

use a dry fire extinguisher

[wet ember]

Lemme check my S7. My S7 hasn't been turned on in a bit

[gleaming rose]

or just dispose of it properly

[wet ember]

S7 is fine

[gleaming rose]

by contacting your city and asking them what to do

[wet ember]

Can I plug my S9 in tho?

[amber adder]

top task bar is lowkey fire

[gleaming rose]

fuck no

[amber adder]

it gives the full screen effect

[gleaming rose]

I mean you can

[wet ember]

I'll do it outside

[gleaming rose]

or just don't bother

why do you want to?1

[sour quest]

So far building a PC has been easy

[gleaming rose]

yeah it's just an expensive Lego set

[sour quest]

I wish I had enough money for a modular power supply tho my case is small as bananas

[sour quest]

Expensive and scary

[gleaming rose]

eh

[wet ember]

I was gonna go for a photoshoot withh it

[gleaming rose]

too bad

well I can't stop you

but fire is fire and fire burns

[amber adder]

Was wondering how i can tweak my laptop it doesnt perform very good if u need the cpu n gpu here u go

6 vram i think its the same as tech kids builds

lol

[sleek remnant]

im overthinking too much by picking psu, tmrw

i dont even know why

[winged sky]

Dude that phone is fucked

Do not charge it

[formal sonnet]

We need way more information to provide a useful reply. "What" about it "doesn't perform very good"?

[amber adder]

lowk could work so well for a beater phone and custrom rom it lol

[empty quartz]

Funniest shit ive seen at work

[wet ember]

Ugh dude I'm pissed

[amber adder]

what info?

[amber adder]

just put it in a metal box and make a small hole for a charger

[winged sky]

NO, no it couldn't, the battery is bulging and a serious fire hazard.

[amber adder]

i would jsut quit it atp

[empty quartz]

Bulging battery isnt always a fire hazard

[wet ember]

We have 2 fire hazards in the house lol my dad's iPhone 6 is also bulging

[winged sky]

Yes, please stop telling people to use fire hazards.

[gleaming rose]

dispose of them both properly

[gleaming rose]

you shouldn't fuck with it

[winged sky]

Replace that for him or grt him to replace it before he seriously burns himself or worse. Lithium fires are vicious and cannot be put out with water.

[sharp lance]

stab it for free fireworks

[amber adder]

not forcing them to and am not telling him to do it as i said it could work fora beater phone and custom rom didnt tell him to do it

[winged sky]

And what im saying is no, it cannot do those things due to the battery being a literal ticking time bomb

[empty quartz]

Yes, however, as long as its not expanding any more, its okay

[winged sky]

No, stop. Stop telling people to fuck around with bulging batteries

[amber adder]

bulging doesnt always mean its a ticking bomb

[gleaming rose]

"this bomb isn't currently wired to a fuse so we can handle it however the fuck we want"

[empty quartz]

Im not

Im just saying its okay to use a device with an expanded battery

[winged sky]

Yes, yes it does. Why do you think its bulging, do you know what causes it to bulge?

[empty quartz]

Yes

[winged sky]

No, it is not.

Why would you even risk it

[empty quartz]

Because i know what im doing

[amber adder]

Yes i do

[winged sky]

Yea sure, until it catches fire in your pocket or while you are away from it

[gleaming rose]

https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/E-Waste

[amber adder]

caused by gas buildup by internal chemical reactions

[gleaming rose]

@wet ember see this

[winged sky]

But fine, be my guest and burn your house down. Not my money or life being ruined.

[empty quartz]

Unless it has an improper bms, and is under heat, its usually fine

[amber adder]

overcharging or overheating

[winged sky]

My god yall are willing to do some stupid things.

[empty quartz]

No

[gleaming rose]

you shouldn't charge it. period.

[amber adder]

Could be a good test or adventure 👍

[empty quartz]

Im fairly qualified to talk about this stuff

[amber adder]

jk

[gleaming rose]

hah
hilarious

[amber adder]

I feel like ur being sarcastic..

[gleaming rose]

nooooooo

really? what made you think that??

[winged sky]

Sure. Maybe. But telling someone else who clearly does not know to fuck with it is not a good idea. That is not your life or money at risk.

[amber adder]

am used to people saying Lol or 😭 so hah or hillarious doesnt feel like ur actually laughing

[empty quartz]

Im not saying to fuck around with it

[gleaming rose]

God I could not have made my sarcasm more obvious

[winged sky]

You are literally saying it is ok to use.

[empty quartz]

Never did, dont misquote me

[empty quartz]

i said “okay”

[steel umbra]

hydrogen gas aint fun, that battery should be disposed of (not in a trash bin)

[winged sky]

Which some people will take as SAFE

Which is the main problem here

[gleaming rose]

as I said, ask your city how to dispose of e-waste properly

[amber adder]

disposed in a river or something or wait am being stupid..

[empty quartz]

If someone takes “okay” as safe, they have more issues to worry about

[marsh bay]

what software would yall use to check a pc for not malware? buddies pc has started being slow resently and giving him problems and only thing he has found is possible bad psu starting to die but not way to see if its not that

[charred kiln]

hallo

[steel umbra]

ignite your severely bloated spicy pillow’s hydrogen gas and you’ve got a clash royale heheh haw bomb

[winged sky]

Some people are too stupid for their own good, that doesn't mean you should just say its ok. Educate people, dont just assume things.

[gleaming rose]

KVRT or malwarebytes

[trim gyro]

task manager, task scheduler

[charred kiln]

some people? most people

[steel umbra]

yes people are indeed stupid

[trim gyro]

I heard Malwarebytes is good at detecting potentially dangerous programs

[marsh bay]

he has ran malware bytes so we dont think its malware possible a bad system file

[amber adder]

I feel like u should just give it to an e waste company

[steel umbra]

you think people don’t dispose alkaline batteries into regular trash?

[winged sky]

You know what yes, exactly. Most people dont know jack shit about electronics.

[charred kiln]

we are destroying our own planet for the sake of our own convenience, ofc we're stupid

[gleaming rose]

you must have heard that from the computer people that use computers

[trim gyro]

what is he doing when it starts to feel slow

[steel umbra]

that does not mean people don’t do it the correct way

lazy people will throw it into regular trash

[amber adder]

is that the right way?

[wet ember]

But first, how do I recover the data from my S9

[trim gyro]

I mean I've never gotten to a point where I had to use some anti malware software

[winged sky]

Unplug the battery since the back can probably be peeled off at this point

[amber adder]

''Warning
This phone might explode if the batter bulges dont throw it into trash''

[gleaming rose]

@wet ember tl;Dr
DO NOT plug it in
if you need to recover data, take it to a shop and have them swap the battery (or just remove it and plug it in)
otherwise give it to an e-waste company

[amber adder]

fire sticker

[marsh bay]

it can be anything from watching yt and it starting to go wakey to playing a game and only getting 20 fps with a 4090 when earlier this week it was just fine

[charred kiln]

yup.

I mean you can do that if the data is more important to you than ur house

[steel umbra]

it will not be effective in taking the fire off

[wet ember]

Ima give Best Buy a try since it's close

[gleaming rose]

also why do you have important data on a phone you haven't used in so long it got a bulge

odd behavior

[grizzled frost]

any important data should be backed up to at least one other location

[wet ember]

Personal reasons

[charred kiln]

also who the hell stores important data on phones

[gleaming rose]

that is not a valid reason at all

[gleaming rose]

ong

[trim gyro]

could be photos

[gleaming rose]

back those up obviously

[wet ember]

Photos? Banking? Contacts?

[gleaming rose]

usually in the cloud nowadays

[grizzled frost]

should either be in the cloud, or on a self hosted machine

[gleaming rose]

this is all information you should not rely on a tiny fragile device exclusively to store

[grizzled frost]

nothing important should ever be stored in only one place

[charred kiln]

I always save monies by getting the lowest storage model in phones (unless its 64gb 💀) cuz I just throw anything important on google drive or smth

[wet ember]

Ok I'll take it to an e-waste store. Tysm have a great night

[gleaming rose]

especially a phone

[wet ember]

Ty LTT!

[grizzled frost]

if ever there was a device you would damage to the point you couldn’t recover data from it, it would be your phone

easily the least safe place to store data

[steel umbra]

but the hydrogen gas is yummy, gotta eat that

for legals reason it’s a joke

[winged sky]

Id recommend taking data off first. Or at least tmaking sure there is nothing left. Still go to the repair shop and see if they can recover data off it

[grizzled frost]

the lithium chunks are tasty

[charred kiln]

also phones are more easily stolen

[steel umbra]

yeah! the best part is when you pierce them with a fork made of metal!

[winged sky]

https://tenor.com/view/homelander-the-boys-yummers-gif-730693117818784194

[grizzled frost]

Really lightens the mood

[obtuse gate]

late reply, but like how does that happen? and what's the maintenance for it in the future? this pc is only 2 months old ToT

[grizzled frost]

drives die to age or manufacturing defects

[winged sky]

Instant campfire

[grizzled frost]

if it’s still under warranty, RMA it

[wet ember]

I just feel bad for the ppl whose only device is their phone. That was my friend

[winged sky]

oof

[charred kiln]

ya ong

[wet ember]

He' d do everything in the phone. Streaming. Gaming. Etc

[left dove]

Could just be that windows needs to be reinstalled- sometimes that happens

[winged sky]

streaming clash of clans

[charred kiln]

I do waaaaaaaaaaaay too much on my compooter to only have a phone lol

[charred kiln]

I suppose they mean streaming as in watching movies and shows thru a streaming service...

[winged sky]

Yes yes but streaming COC is so much funnier to me

[steel umbra]

is there a log thrower in coc?

i haven’t played it since forever

[winged sky]

I have no clue man last time I played it was before 2019

[charred kiln]

I avoid mobile games like the plague

they feel like installing bloatware intentionally

[indigo basin]

am I cooked or no

[trim gyro]

I think I have the most game hours on my mobile phone

[charred kiln]

it be a linux moment

[steel umbra]

last good game was smash hit ig

[charred kiln]

give it some time

[steel umbra]

btw the devs of smash hit made teardown too

[charred kiln]

also clean ur screen the fuck is this warcrime

[winged sky]

Linux never fails to surprise me in just how many ways it can decide to just not run

[rose stream]

Hmmm I'd throw this over in the #linux channel and see what the guys there say.

[indigo basin]

I think the USB drive it was booting in got de-mounted

since the dock it was connected to has a dodgy connection

so I have no clue if the process has hung or not

[charred kiln]

ngl when I used it it was more reliable than windows lmao

[indigo basin]

it's more reliable...
until it's not

[charred kiln]

if it broke it was becuz I fiddled with it, not because of the OS itself

[upbeat orchid]

chat can i install macOS 26 on this?

[azure cipher]

What's the current gold standard CPU + GPU combo for running recent titles at the highest settings? (1440p170 or 4k60)

[winged sky]

I mean sure, but working with rasbian trying to get an on screen keyboard that actually functions properly is a god damn nightmare

[charred kiln]

I like to unnecessarily mess with stuff, till I dont

[winged sky]

You can certainly try XD

[rose stream]

No.

[winged sky]

Ryzen 9 9900x3d and 5090

[charred kiln]

9900X3D? rly?

[rose stream]

In fact, anything past OSX "Lion" will straight up not work on a Mac running an old PPC cpu.

[winged sky]

They did say gold standard, and thats pretty damn golden

[barren trout]

that's silver if you ask me

[upbeat orchid]

i was joking if you weren’t aware

[winged sky]

Fine, 9700x3d

[charred kiln]

honestly almost anything X3D can work

[barren trout]

now we're talkin

[winged sky]

[steel umbra]

ryzen 3 9100x3d when

[charred kiln]

nah, 9600X3D

[grizzled frost]

9050x3d when

[rose stream]

Oh no, I'm saying it for anyone else here who might think you could, just to see if they would try to anyway. Lmao.

[winged sky]

5700x3d

[upbeat orchid]

ah

[steel umbra]

4 core zen4c zen5c with x3d

lmao

i spin nonesense

[grizzled frost]

Dual 2 core zen5c chiplets each with their own l3 cache chiplet for double the cache

[steel umbra]

wtf

[grizzled frost]

greater performance than the 9800x3d in gaming

[charred kiln]

more cache than CPU

[grizzled frost]

but suffers in literally any other workload

[steel umbra]

simulators: lemme change ue mind

slaps your 6 core cpu

[winged sky]

MOAR CACHE, who needs ddr anyway

[grizzled frost]

rust is gonna get all the FPS

[grizzled frost]

no ram, all l3 cache

[winged sky]

[charred kiln]

heh, hax

[grizzled frost]

how long till we get CPUs with 32gb of L3 cache

[azure cipher]

jesus i didn't realize 5090s were that high

[charred kiln]

that probably exists somewhere

[azure cipher]

how much worse is a 5080

[steel umbra]

why not l4? bigger better obviously

[grizzled frost]

technically if you have no l3 cache, your ram is l3 cache

[charred kiln]

haha welcome to nvidia-land

[grizzled frost]

so ram?

[charred kiln]

worse than 4090, better than anything else under 4090 and 5090

[winged sky]

Aren't there some server cpus that can do that...? I actually remember ltt doing a video on some IBM machines that had cpus that could access eachothers cache

One sec

[charred kiln]

so kind of a lot

[steel umbra]

l5 cache

[grizzled frost]

they didn’t get up to that number of cache, but they had bonkers amounts of cache

the moment a cpu tries to use another cpu’s cache though the performance is annihilated

[winged sky]

https://youtu.be/ZDtaanCENbc

[azure cipher]

still good enough for 4k60 on something like clair obscur?

[winged sky]

13 minute mark

[steel umbra]

what do you guys think of l20 cache

[charred kiln]

ye it would do

[azure cipher]

worse than l19

[steel umbra]

biggest = betterest

[steel umbra]

[winged sky]

Bigger number betterer

[grizzled frost]

AMD EPYC 9965 has 364MB of cache for instance

(the 192c chip)

[steel umbra]

why not a terabyte

[grizzled frost]

when cache get too far away it not cache no mo

[sharp lance]

Its screaming

[grizzled frost]

why do i feel like that is gore for a computer

[charred kiln]

o0o minecraft enchantment table letterz

[grizzled frost]

disgusting

also i was right then

[steel umbra]

this is cursed in all ways possible

less readable than enchanting table from minecraft

[winged sky]

Your neighbors must love you XD

[charred kiln]

hey you stole my joke

[ebon gate]

Hey y'all, I am looking into getting a new monitor, but I was wondering if anyone knows if a recent VA panel is better or worse for image clarity/smoothness than a 2010 era ips LCD

[sharp lance]

They sure do

[steel umbra]

damn that’s what i get for not scrolling

[charred kiln]

imagine if someone sued someone over a stollen joke

sounds like something nintendo would do

[swift moss]

who needs dolby IP if you are writing the IP yourself :D

[steel umbra]

yeah… pretty sure that has happened

[charred kiln]

cant put it any other way, the fuck is this

[swift moss]

im trying to see if its possible to write a dolby decoder realtime on fpga fabric

some very kind people have already reverse engineered the codec

[charred kiln]

that says absolutely nothing to me lmao

[swift moss]

https://tenor.com/view/ffmpeg-my-beloved-ffmpeg-my-beloved-heart-gif-27072625

[charred kiln]

imma just continue editing my thingi in fusion

[swift moss]

f360?? ooooh fun

have you tried onshape?

[charred kiln]

yeah

too deep into fusion to switch lol

also fusion has this

[indigo basin]

so the FS was fine
windows 11 just decided that the partition table was overrated and decided to nuke it

microsoft™

[charred kiln]

moccosoft

[sharp lance]

It had a tough time turning on

[winged sky]

I bet XD

You yanked its frontal lobe out

And then stuffed it back in after it died

And then stuck jumper cables to its nipples

Id have a hard time turning on too

[charred kiln]

I hate that fusion doesnt lemme right click to pan

[steel umbra]

microsoft when it cannot do mid

or be mediocre

[charred kiln]

oh im tired

[sour quest]

My 30 dollar PC came with these fan connectors

Where do I connect them

[left dove]

Looks like a fucked up molex tbh

[peak knot]

Molex from psu

[solemn kindle]

Anyone know what this brown wire could be on the power port?

I know all the others are my positive and negatives. The brown wire never gets any power but has a resistance value between it and ground when plugged into the laptop.

This resistance value changes overtime as well.

I believe it is used for some error reporting currentlly. I unplugged it and nothing changed in terms of the function of the laptop or the amount of power it drew from the power supply

[sour quest]

Is this plugged in all the way

[formal sonnet]

Nope - there's your problem.

[sour quest]

It's not letting me plug it in more tho

[formal sonnet]

This needs to go in more. You'll have to try fiddling with it. We cannot really help much more than that.

[solemn kindle]

The clip in the front. does it not have something that it clips onto once the cable is completely inserted?

[sour quest]

This is my hardest anymore and the motherboard could be fucked

[charred kiln]

I think its fine :)

[sour quest]

I will trust you cause the solder sticks at the back are poking my thumb and it's hurts real bad

[south arrow]

Poor dihh out here fighting for his life

You got thisss

[charred kiln]

we believe in you

[south arrow]

24 pin is the hardest one to attach if it makes you feel any better

[charred kiln]

imagine getting killed building a computer

sounds very electroboom

[sour quest]

Semi final product

[charred kiln]

but that dude is immune so idk about him

[sour quest]

My cable management is asss

[charred kiln]

kool

[sour quest]

But this case is ass when it comes to cable management

[charred kiln]

hahahha thats cute

[sour quest]

On a scale of 1 to 10 how bad is my cable management

[charred kiln]

never open the back of my compooter

[sour quest]

That's normal

[sinful cobalt]

i just dumped all the cables to the back of my dual chamber case lmao

[grizzled frost]

back out the little 4 pin connector a bit, the 20pin bit as well till they line up, then insert both together

[charred kiln]

you will see my cable management (cable managment is a strong word here) and you will have a heart attack

[sinful cobalt]

its never seeing the light of day anyway

[grizzled frost]

20+4pin connectors suck

[charred kiln]

it be an octopus

[sinful cobalt]

3 of my friends failed to pull out the fkin connector

[grizzled frost]

why is your motherboard infront of your fans

[sinful cobalt]

gotta cool the most useless part of the mobo

[grizzled frost]

oh it’s an ITX case with an mATX mobo

[charred kiln]

wai what

[sour quest]

Mini atx case with mini atx mobo

[grizzled frost]

yeah lol, look at the bottom standoffs bit

[sour quest]

Mini atx fishtank PC

[charred kiln]

its 7 AM my instincts are crushed

[grizzled frost]

there’s no screws, and i imagine no standoffs

if you push on your motherboard while the pc is on your computer could be fucked

electrical tape time!

[grizzled frost]

what case

[sour quest]

Xigmatek aqua m nano

ii

[charred kiln]

sounds very chinese

[sour quest]

It is and it's 30 dollars so we do not complain okay

[grizzled frost]

how does it sound chinese and american brainrot at the same time

[charred kiln]

YEAH

american tech brainrot lol

[south arrow]

Dont blame this on us lol

[grizzled frost]

holy shit they do advertise M-ATX

[haughty compass]

I know this might be a dumb question but do I just push this in to pull it out? Cus I'm putting a lot of force while pushing it in and it's not budging and I don't want to break it

[grizzled frost]

install and screw in the bottom two standoffs please

[grizzled frost]

show a better picture from the side so i can see if it’s fully inserted

[night coral]

can i get some thoughts on this build please
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/ND4xv4

[south arrow]

To take it out gotta pinch the clip to release the latch and pull while pinching

Almost harder to do then putting it in 😂

[grizzled frost]

wiggle it a bit while pushing down firmly

[sour quest]

I haven't bought the HDD yet and I probably wont

[haughty compass]

I'm tryna take it out

[sinful cobalt]

more like matx case that cant accomodate a atx mobo properly with a atx mobo

[grizzled frost]

push in the clip, and wiggle and pull firmly

[sour quest]

I'd rather kms than do the cable management again

[charred kiln]

SCAMMMMED

[haughty compass]

Ohhh MB ok

[sour quest]

And no although it looks like it no cable is hitting any fan

[south arrow]

Wiggle not bend be the key here*

[grizzled frost]

it’s an M-ATX mobo in an ITX case that falsely claims M-ATX support

[sour quest]

Rate cable management out of 10

[grizzled frost]

2

[haughty compass]

Yeah it doesn't come out even if I wiggle and pull

[charred kiln]

get a new case/10

[sour quest]

No it has 4 stand offs which are enough for a micro ATX motherboard

[clear canyon]

Could be worse tbh

[south arrow]

Never had enough space to have a chance/10

[grizzled frost]

make sure you’re pulling on both parts of the motherboard

[south arrow]

But it does fit

[charred kiln]

in that case I just pull out a plyer

[sour quest]

And I could add extra standoffs but I am lazy

4 standoffs is enough guys right

[grizzled frost]

It should have two more at the bottom as well, but your motherboard should never being hanging off part of the case

[sour quest]

Right ?

[grizzled frost]

install the lower 2 as well

[clear canyon]

[latent pasture]

if its 4 spaced near the corners probably

[charred kiln]

I love this emoji lmao

[clear canyon]

Lol

[sinful cobalt]

that does not look itx at all

[sour quest]

If it breaks it breaks I'm not redoing this all over again

4 standoffs is enough

[grizzled frost]

it ain’t, it’s the four in the upper left, omitting the bottom row and and far right side

[south arrow]

All jokes aside i can see you did try to manage the cables, its just a difficult space

[grizzled frost]

mate a third of the mobo is hanging off

[sour quest]

No it's a tiny bit

[clear canyon]

I do as many as i can lol

[grizzled frost]

as i said, a third

maybe a fourth

[clear canyon]

Thermal pad support!! 😀

[formal sonnet]

Right? It's a Micro ATX case and a Micro ATX motherboard.

[grizzled frost]

the motherboard tray stops at the red line

[sour quest]

I'm going to cry I can't believe I have to install 2 more standoffs

[grizzled frost]

everything past that is just floating

[grizzled frost]

if you don't want your motherboard to potentially short out and kill all your components, install the bottom two standoffs

[clear canyon]

Ltt should make a video to where they use thermal pads to hold up a board instead of screws

https://tenor.com/view/think-about-it-use-your-brain-use-the-brain-think-brain-gif-17677779115818009596

[south arrow]

Tight spaces make me anxious I guess the same translates to my pc building

[grizzled frost]

that's what kapton tape is for

[sour quest]

The 24 pin doesn't NOT want to get out

[clear canyon]

No, i mean thermal pads only

[clear canyon]

[grizzled frost]

pull on both parts of the connector at the same time, and wiggle

[barren breach]

Phanteks fan?

[south arrow]

This makes me anxious, I won't even jinx it

[grizzled frost]

i hate the 20+4p connector with a burning passion

[haughty compass]

Is it better to route PSU cables first or screw in mobo?

[sour quest]

I can't the motherboard will break

I have a good idea

I will flip the pc case on its back so the wiggling of the motherboard itself is less

[grizzled frost]

personal preference

also depends on the case

[thorn cove]

Are password managers worth it? Im kinda tired of refreshing my password for a service I havent used in 5 months and I desperately need now

[charred kiln]

nah, phantex phan

[haughty compass]

This the case

[barren breach]

I ask because

[charred kiln]

o0o fancy

[barren breach]

I just finished it today

Im so happy with it

I cant get over it

[charred kiln]

whats that GPU

ngreedia cuz msi doesnt do amd anymore

[haughty compass]

Also super really dumb question but are these the correct screws for the mobo into the case? Cus I was using my PC for about about a week before the case arrived and these are the only ones that I have in the mobo box and it doesn't seem like theres enough of them or that they are big enough

[charred kiln]

but which one

[barren breach]

5070ti

[charred kiln]

ah the classic

CPU?

[charred kiln]

also I almost got one, but decided to buy a 3D printer instead

[sour quest]

This board will genuinely break if I try to remove the 24pin

[barren breach]

14600k

[sour quest]

It's on their tight

If I remove it their is atleast a 50% chance I break the motherboard

[grizzled frost]

as previously stated,

pull on both parts of the connector at the same time, and wiggle

[sinful cobalt]

that is ALOT of empty space for a ITX case

like, the big 3 5090 type of space

[grizzled frost]

Motherboard tray only properly supports ITX, they just chose to add two standoffs at the bottom and call it M-ATX support

[sinful cobalt]

💀

matx case without proper matx support

i get wym now sry

[grizzled frost]

did you not see the image i posted?

motherboard tray ends at the red line lol

[sinful cobalt]

no i was doing logistics stuff

[grizzled frost]

a quarter of the motherboard straight up floats

[sinful cobalt]

i was moving shit

[charred kiln]

It looks ugly

[grizzled frost]

I wasn't gonna mention aesthetics, too subjective

having a floating motherboard is objectively bad though

I don't even blame OP, it's on the company to advertise their case properly

[sinful cobalt]

reminds me that one friend who was hyped up for wuchang

just to find out his little 4060 suffers even at 1080p low

[grizzled frost]

wukong?

[sinful cobalt]

the new chinese game

this 1

[winged sky]

Holy hell

[grizzled frost]

mostly negative
haha!

[sinful cobalt]

its not even abt the gameplay or story its straight up performance

[grizzled frost]

a 4060 should handle every game at 1080p low

any game that fails that, shouldn't have been released

[sinful cobalt]

9060XT 16GB high preset 1080p barely gets 60fps

like natively

[sinful cobalt]

forgot to add native*

[winged sky]

oof... this is what they list on steam

[latent pasture]

tested with dlss fsr enabled
on performance mode and frame gen combined

[sinful cobalt]

1440p med settings I believe they set the 3060 12gb at 30% TSR

thats at like what 720p?

[haughty compass]

Do I just push hard to get this into place? Cus I don't want to put too much force and break it

[winged sky]

even worse it seems

[sinful cobalt]

this is like the mindseye equivalent for performance

[latent pasture]

actual clownery

[sinful cobalt]

this game has both the shit performance tank that wukong has and the vram issues that indiana jones has

its like you managed to fuck up the mission altogether

[haughty compass]

Bro I can't get my mobo into the case and aligned with io slot/ case screws. I feel like I'm doing something wong

All the videos I look at make it seem easy

But for some reason mine just doesn't do that

[latent pasture]

are there standoffs

[haughty compass]

Yes

Ok every screw hole

The issue is I can't get the mobo to fit into the io shield

It feels like it gets stuck against something

[latent pasture]

the fan?

[sour quest]

I decided to just stick with 4

[latent pasture]

i mean you can try looking at it closely and feeling around to see where the physical point its stuck in

[swift moss]

CONFUSE

[haughty compass]

I think it's stuck on the lips around the io place on the case

U can see one on the left side of the image I sent

[sinful cobalt]

align the IO and see what screw standoffs are available

[latent pasture]

cant u install it from below the lip moving upward

or from the side going left in the perspective of that image

[haughty compass]

Also which screw do I use for the mobo. My case came with 2

[empty quartz]

2 types, or just 2?

[haughty compass]

2 types

[latent pasture]

manual

[haughty compass]

Ok

[swift moss]

im gonna have fun reading this

[sinful cobalt]

i did not read any manual I just raw dogged it

[haughty compass]

Ok figured it out ty

[latent pasture]

inb4 the way to install mobo is also in the manual

[haughty compass]

Is there any way to hide this rats nest for my CPU fan's RGB lights?

[barren breach]

Can you not pull them all through to the other side?

[haughty compass]

They're all connected to each other

And some of the cables aren't long enough to go through the other side

[barren breach]

Sounds like most of them are tho lol

Disconnect em, pull them through as much as you can, and reconnect from the other side

[haughty compass]

Do I need to connect my CPu's RGB fans to a controller rather than the "add gen 2" connection?

Bro everything was so easy up until the point of installing it in my case

Also do I need to connect all my case fans to like a controller?

[clear canyon]

Im pretty sure you can connect them to either a motherboard RGB hearder or a controller

[haughty compass]

Do u guys think it's better to get a controller for all my RGB fans?

Or just plug them into the mobo

[clear canyon]

Depends on how many rgb fans you got compared to ur headers. Unless you just want to use a controller from the beginning

[charred kiln]

good luck

[azure topaz]

meow

[swift moss]

and its like spread across 500 files as well lol

[haughty compass]

Am I supposed to bend my CPU power cable like this to plug it in?

Same with my 24 pin... Am I supposed to bend it like this to plug in?

There is a lot of tension on both when it's like this...

[hoary tree]

???

[lucid tulip]

@left dove sent you a DM. Would you assist please?

[clever sinew]

Hey yall

I have a omen 15 with a i7 9750h rtx 2060 and the cpu gets extremly hot alredy changed the thermal paste do yall think its worth going for liquid metal

[solar moat]

laptop?

[clever sinew]

yy

[solar moat]

liquid metal not good idea for many since realy shoud not be apllyed on copper/mosty anything but nickal

[compact spear]

Try undervolting before doing that

[clever sinew]

alredy tried thottlestop it worked fine but still reached high temp and it was kinda lagging

[solar moat]

and offen with laptops its more lack of cooler being able to remove heat over thermal deasity

[clear canyon]

No it can be applied to copper, it cant be applied to aluminum

[solar moat]

copper long term not very nice

[clear canyon]

It makes aluminum very very very very brittle

[grizzled frost]

it can be applied to copper, it just will absorb into the copper over time

[haughty compass]

Should I test that my PC works before plugging in my GPU?

[clear canyon]

I see, was not aware of that

[clever sinew]

this ss was taken while downloading a game nothing else

[solar moat]

seen it lead to death of cpu

[grizzled frost]

Only if it results in catastrophic overheating

[solar moat]

form it hardening to point wher die of cpu pull apart

[grizzled frost]

sounds like really shitty LM

[solar moat]

but thats over meany years

[clever sinew]

it never goes past 100 but still

[clear canyon]

Well if you just Bluetooth the heat away, there will be no heat issue!! 😛

[grizzled frost]

what cpu and what kind of cooler

[clever sinew]

laptop i7 9750h

[solar moat]

what ever laptop like

[grizzled frost]

oh it’s a laptop

yeah that’s pretty normal

they’re basically designed to just thermal throttle lol

[clever sinew]

while doing heavy stuff ye i belive but now downloading a game i dont think so

[compact spear]

Goober’ing (truly a Thinkpad moment)

[grizzled frost]

holding it like that isn’t good for the screen

the screen isn’t designed to be a load bearing component

[haughty compass]

Am I cooked. I was tryna take off this cable to reroute it and the entire thing came out...

I still can't get it off the cable 😭

[clever sinew]

if u do with caution u can put it back

[grizzled frost]

nah that’s just usb 3.0 being usb 3.0, just carefully put it back on

[clever sinew]

shall i just go for liquid metal

[grizzled frost]

do you know how you’re going to contain the LM and keep it from seeping into other places?

[clever sinew]

i aint go

[grizzled frost]

Then absolutely not

[clever sinew]

do it my self

laptop mostly stays flat on the table

[grizzled frost]

if you attempt to use LM without an adequate solution for containing it, you will kill your laptop

doesn’t matter, you have to have a premade seal for it to contain the LM

[clever sinew]

idk io aint gon aplly it my self im taking it to a repair shop to apply it

[grizzled frost]

i wouldn’t trust a shop with that

if they fuck it up you’re the one out the cost of the laptop

[plain cypress]

I thought PTM was the go to for laptops

[grizzled frost]

I was just about to recommend that lol

[clever sinew]

will it make a diference atleast if i go with ptm

[compact spear]

Do I need ptm for a 15w processor lol

[grizzled frost]

Yes

[clever sinew]

big or small

[grizzled frost]

PTM-7950 was popularized for its benefit in laptops

[grizzled frost]

big

[clever sinew]

where can i get it

[grizzled frost]

either from LTT store, or another trusted vendor

[plain cypress]

What are the specs of your laptop anyway

[clever sinew]

i7 9750h rtx 2060

[grizzled frost]

you should put PTM on the cpu and gpu imo

[clever sinew]

i havbe no problem with the gpu

only the cpu

the max ive seen the gpu hit while playing in a hot room was 80c

[plain cypress]

While you're at it make sure to clean off the fan(s) and heatsink

[clever sinew]

fully cleaned

[grizzled frost]

(feel free to drown em in iso)

[gentle kestrel]

while you’re in there just do both

[grizzled frost]

holy shit mobile discord is pissing me off, anytime i reply it moves the keyboard above the text box, so i can’t see what i’m typing

[gentle kestrel]

the laptop dies are incredibly small so you won’t need much

[clever sinew]

so no liquid metal i should just go for ptm

[grizzled frost]

Correct

[gentle kestrel]

i even removed liquid metal from my laptop to swap to ptm

[grizzled frost]

LM is the quickest way to kill your laptop in a way that categorically voids your warranty

[gentle kestrel]

a bad liquid metal application will just make temperatures worse

[plain cypress]

Although the post-LM tech support thread here would be amusing

[stray cairn]

Nvidia

[plain cypress]

Fucking bot behavior

[gentle kestrel]

i ordered a 40x80mm set of ptm and it covered my zephyrus cpu + gpu, thinkpad and 2070 super

[clever sinew]

idk what size i need

[gentle kestrel]

https://a.co/d/fwgH09V this is still way more than you’d need

but only 10 bucks

9750h is 150mm, 2060 mobile is 445mm

[clever sinew]

wait so i would need like 3 of those

?!?! im hella confused

[plain cypress]

No no, the dies are total 600mm^2
That thermal pad is over 1500mm^2

[clever sinew]

ohh so the link above should be more then enough

[empty quartz]

The galaxy s7 should not have passed jre’s bend test

[night coral]

has the p400 lite been swapped

im looking for a budget 2tb gen4 ssd in Canada and the silicon power ud90 has been swapped

[empty quartz]

Took about as much effort as it does to shift my family’s f-150 into drive

[empty quartz]

Teamgroup mp44l

[night coral]

has it been swapped?

[empty quartz]

Huh

What are you on about

[night coral]

did they change the nand and controller

[empty quartz]

Wdym

[night coral]

manufacturers can swap the nand and controller on newer batches of ssds without the consumer knowing.

im not looking for the default ltt mp44l answer lol

[empty quartz]

Why does it matter

Thats like saying mopar made changes to the hemi engine

[night coral]

not positive ones

[empty quartz]

Just wait until you see how often companies like g.skill change manufacturers for their ram kits

[night coral]

right but it's not the same thing

switching from tlc to qlc is kinda shady

[empty quartz]

Lemme guess, silicon power?

[night coral]

yea lol ud90

[empty quartz]

Of course, because they’re a crappy brand

Teamgroup is actually respected

[night coral]

i was close to getting it until i found that out

anything to make a quick buck i guess

[empty quartz]

Thats why i buy teamgroup

They dont do shady stuff like that

[latent pasture]

they do lol theres no brand that doesnt

[empty quartz]

Eh

[night coral]

they are a business at the end of the day and they need to make money

[empty quartz]

Micron doesnt, but thats because they manufacture their own chips

[night coral]

profit margins for these companies are slim at the budget price point

[empty quartz]

If you want something that wont change, be prepared to spend more

[random gyro]

sorry I just love using this image

[night coral]

that's kind of a shame, because im pretty sure wd blue sn5000 hasn't been swapped

and 580

[empty quartz]

Wd sucks ass

[night coral]

why?

[latent pasture]

inb4 "this one ssd thats a different model 5 years ago was bad so all theyll ever make is bad"

[empty quartz]

Lemme go to my box of dead wd ssd’s and hdd’s

Tomorrow* its at work

Unless a co-worker sent it off to recycling

[night coral]

have u rma'd your stoarge from wd

[empty quartz]

There were about 20 of them in that box last i checked

[night coral]

my wd black has been great and i owned a blue drive that also hasn't died

[empty quartz]

No, because i trust a wd drive as much as i trust my important data on a raid 0 array with a dying hdd

[night coral]

after many years of use and plenty of os reinstalls/large file transfers

that's rly odd though man cause a lot of people leave positive reviews for wd products

[empty quartz]

Ive also had about 4 wd drives just randomly die after being on a shelf for 6 months

[night coral]

do u feel the same about silicon power memory?

[latent pasture]

100% the reason for them having a box of dead wd parts is because they buy more wd stuff to begin with

[empty quartz]

We dont buy wd anymore for a reason lol

[latent pasture]

literal online storage companies have storage statistics and wd doesnt fail any more than any brand

[terse bison]

What about Seagate’s Ironwolf drives?

[night coral]

could i get a recommendation from you for a budget gen4 2tb drive in canada

pls

[empty quartz]

From personal experience ive seen more 3 year old wd drives that died after 6 months than i have for anything else

[night coral]

mp44l wasn't a bad one btw im just unsure if they swapped

[haughty compass]

Is it ok to put my figure in here like this

[empty quartz]

Worded that horribly

[night coral]

yea lol

[empty quartz]

Burn the figure

Looks tacky

[haughty compass]

I'ma set all my fans to pink

[night coral]

i think it's cool dude

[empty quartz]

Either way

[haughty compass]

I can just zip tie her down right

[empty quartz]

I have a very bad experience with wd

[haughty compass]

So she don't move when I pick up my pc

[empty quartz]

And will never trust a wd blue drive again

[night coral]

could you guys rate my build, im just trying to find a drive for it
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/m4MjMC

[vernal sequoia]

it would burn naturally had that connector been the 12pin one

[empty quartz]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/LwKfLc fixed

[empty quartz]

Wrong

[latent pasture]

nv3 is still qlc

[night coral]

oof more expensive memory without the rgb aesthetic

[empty quartz]

And its better

[latent pasture]

but bc its very new qlc its native write isnt as shite as like p3

[night coral]

the sp memory can't be that much worse than a pair of ripjaws lol

or sorry flare

[empty quartz]

It will be

[latent pasture]

lolwut

[night coral]

dude i need your rec for a budget ssd pls

[empty quartz]

G.skill is actually not bad

[night coral]

you know what you're talking about

[latent pasture]

what was wrong with the mp44l

[verbal prawn]

is qlc good now???

[night coral]

im using their kit in my main system right now, im not saying they're bad but why pay more for the same speed and timing and drop the rgb???

[empty quartz]

Reliability, and able to hit higher clocks

[verbal prawn]

silcon power is actually good

[night coral]

can anyone confirm

[latent pasture]

ram is an entirely different product than ssd lmao

this is even worse than using old ssd to judge new ssds of brands

[night coral]

that's what i said earlier to him

[latent pasture]

its not even the same product

[empty quartz]

Im half asleep, i saw silicon power, and thought ssd

[night coral]

im not trying to be rude i just really want to finish this list i've been reiterating for weeks now lol

i got it to the 1400 dollar budget range i just need a tlc budget gen4x4 drive that's good value 😭

[latent pasture]

what was wrong with the mp44l bruh

all ssds around its price point r either old gen3 or qlc

[night coral]

i'm just unsure if it's been swapped to qlc and a shittier controller

it has been swapped actually

[empty quartz]

@night coral is wifi a need?

[night coral]

yes unfortunately this build is for my wife

[latent pasture]

is it even possible to do 600tbw/tb on qlc
even the highest end qlc ssds dont rate for that

[night coral]

and i also selected that board for having 2 dim slots

and it's also the cheapest b850 matx

[latent pasture]

ssds that allow themsleves leeway to swap to qlc also lower their minimum spec

[night coral]

in my region

[pale flint]

hmm

[night coral]

i think the best bet would be the sn5000

[empty quartz]

@night coral https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Z3MjMC

9600x doesnt seem to be worth it over the 7600x

[night coral]

newer architecture for $40

[empty quartz]

And?

[latent pasture]

ok and
what r the actual effects of that new architecture

[night coral]

that benchmark is also at fhd

[empty quartz]

Which is cpu bound

[latent pasture]

yes, to make sure the cpu differences are obvious

cuz if they were 1440p or 4k you can literally go back to ddr4 platform and see no difference

or if ur gpu is worse than 4090

[night coral]

oh sorry the real reason why i went 9600x over 76 is because of the tdp

[latent pasture]

wAt

[empty quartz]

Huh

[latent pasture]

who actively wants their cpu to use MORE power

[night coral]

65w vs 105w

[latent pasture]

thats like, what you dont want

[latent pasture]

amd cpus scale poorly with power that theres not really a huge difference

[empty quartz]

This is extremely rare

[verbal prawn]

this is my take https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/m8vPkf

hey

what are your thoughts on aliexpress cpus m

[night coral]

mp44l is qlc and that cooler is more expensive without a digital display

[empty quartz]

Whats your source?

[night coral]

7500f was going to be the original config

with a maxsun mobo combo

[verbal prawn]

dual tower

[night coral]

overkill no?

[latent pasture]

teamgroup is based enough to specifically label qlc ssds with a Q
the qlc mp44 is called mp44q

[night coral]

easy savings and aesthetics

[empty quartz]

@night coral the mp44l is not qlc

[verbal prawn]

i mean it's 10 bucks and odds are if you upgrade it your going to have to buy a new cooler with a single tower

[latent pasture]

wat

they definitely dont

[night coral]

maybe the controller was swapped then because i was told by a few people that it had been swapped

[latent pasture]

unless theyre buying an intel 900k cpu

[night coral]

i dont know what to believe anymore

[empty quartz]

Pay those people no mind

Wont make a noticeable difference for the controller

[latent pasture]

single tower cooler has like -3% all core rendering performance on 16 core amd and i7s
its only on i9 x900ks that it cant cool
and of course gaming and other single thread workloads and the 8core and below amd cpus have 0% performance impact

[night coral]

i honestly would if it was one or two people telling me that but it's like a group of people lol

from a different community

[empty quartz]

I have a feeling i know which server, but ill ask anyways

What server?

If its ztt, im going to laugh my ass off

[empty quartz]

What server is this?

[night coral]

[empty quartz]

Yeah, pay those people no mind

[night coral]

[empty quartz]

i was looking at a video of lianli's wireless fans

hm?

[empty quartz]

This is usd by the way

[night coral]

i mean what @latent pasture said makes sense about them labelling it with l and q

[abstract wigeon]

he charges $100 for a pcpartpicker list

like he will give you a list of parts if you pay him

[empty quartz]

I calculated the price of the system to be like 1500 cad iirc

[abstract wigeon]

1500 cad is like 20 dollars aswell

[night coral]

360mm aio for the 9600x lol

[empty quartz]

Im going to eat your ram

[abstract wigeon]

[night coral]

isn't the 9600x less power hungry than the 7600x

[latent pasture]

they use like the same power bc of how amd uses tdp

[night coral]

so they label it 65w and 105w for?

[empty quartz]

(I say this as my workstation has as much ram as a m4 macbook air has in storage) @abstract wigeon

[abstract wigeon]

this is a pretty awesome source, thank u honestly

[empty quartz]

Even though (on consumer platforms) you get worse performance with all the slots filled, you have to admit; having 8/8 slots filled looks heavenly

imo 7800x3d for 370 cad is the play

[empty quartz]

@abstract wigeon

[night coral]

i have it in my rig right now but i bought it msrp when it launched 🥲

paired with a 7900xtx

It's a horrible deal for you

[glacial kraken]

oh

it is a bad computer tho

[orchid perch]

i was thinking maybe case, case fans and storage but idk what other parts i should choose

[true stirrup]

3 monitors + 1070

[haughty compass]

what kind of monitors are they?

[glacial kraken]

these ones

[tidal geyser]

You do know there are a lot of places giving away monitors

[glacial kraken]

these monitors i all got for free

[tidal geyser]

A pc with no official support for windows 11 and a GPU soon to lose game ready drivers with 3 shitty monitors that you can get for free at times.

[tidal geyser]

See

[glacial kraken]

one monitor is 144hz tho

[haughty compass]

o

[tidal geyser]

That changes things

[glacial kraken]

it is a bad va panel tho

it doesnt have good viewing angle so i dont use it as main

[tidal geyser]

144hz is 144hz

I thought you had this pc for a long long time

[glacial kraken]

no

like 3 years or so i think maybe 4

[glacial kraken]

idk how useful 144 will be

[tidal geyser]

That is a long while

[glacial kraken]

oh ok

[tidal geyser]

So in roughly 4 years all you tried to play is fortnite and Roblox

[glacial kraken]

I mean yeah

oh and cities skylines

and gta

idk how it ran those tho

i forgot lol

[tidal geyser]

GTA 5 ran on the PS3

[glacial kraken]

yeah

actually i did play some more games but those are the only ones that i thought would be known enough to mention

[glacial kraken]

so do u think I should take the offer or nah

[tidal geyser]

As with used its a question of time

[glacial kraken]

they offered me 230 aud

[tidal geyser]

Wanna just get rid of it all quick and not make a lot of money, or you can wait and add if maybe someone offers more

[glacial kraken]

hmm

i mean how much am i going to get more realisticly it isnt worth much

[random gyro]

is buying an AIO for r7 7800x3d instead of simply going with TR peerless assassin 120se a good idea at all? I know it doesnt need it and that it costs more but i just love the look of it. also how fast does a AIO deteriorate? i have never used one before

[tidal geyser]

If you got money and the pc stuff is just taking space I would take the deal, not a lot but enough to where I would be happy enough

[glacial kraken]

yeah. I thought max i would be getting is 300 and that'd be hard to get

[tidal geyser]

The issue with a aio is that it can come broken, break in a few weeks, months, or tends to last what I would say 3-5 years

[random gyro]

i see. so just go with the air cooler then

[tidal geyser]

That is the thing about the used market, the people on it just wanna get rid of stuff and that is why most people try and haggle while in a actual store your not standing there trying tbe same.

[glacial kraken]

yeah but this stuff is a bit old to be sold in store

[tidal geyser]

I would yes, aios are hard to diagnose and ofc have liquid in them and all that

[tidal geyser]

I was making a point

[glacial kraken]

So realistically this is the best offer i will get unless I wait a while

[empty heron]

Ios 26 beta is goofy asf

This shit works™

Performance sucks

And is hella uneven

[random gyro]

is corsair rm850x (2021) a good psu?

[livid fern]

Yes

[hoary tree]

Just installed an AIO for the first time :3

[abstract wigeon]

are they all exhaust?

[hoary tree]

No

The bottom 2 are reverse flow

[late path]

Can I find out what parts a pc older than me has without booting it up?

Booting it up would probably be a fire hazard

and I'm not smart enough to know what parts it has by looking at em like OH! that GPU is a 8400GS!

[terse bison]

just open it up, click high resolution photos with flash if possible of the stickers or model numbers

for the CPU, you would need to take out the heatsink though

[late path]

and then send it in #tech-chat-1 for a smart person to hopefully see it and answer?

[terse bison]

Yeah I think if we see the model numbers, then it is a simple Google search

[peak knot]

I’ve built something that scares me

450v 370uf capacitor with a switch

Insulated with kapton tape

Hey I need help, my usb ports on my case dont work. Not sure if I have to download drivers or what.

Ive connected my charger and also tried other wires for my controller and still nothing. The case I use is the Montech XR.

[opaque flower]

did you plug the usb header into the motherboard

[smoky zealot]

Yup

Ive double checked to make sure and everything is properly connected and in the right spot

Im guessing I have to download drivers or sum.

[tidal geyser]

plug them in

[tidal geyser]

no

[smoky zealot]

Ive downloaded these from my mobos website

[tidal geyser]

the case USB ports are literally just doing the exact same fkn thing as the ones on the back do

[smoky zealot]

Well idk, ive connected different wires and nothings worked

Same with bluetooth, it doesnt work

[ebon marlin]

[tidal geyser]

[smoky zealot]

I clicked download, now what

[tidal geyser]

[last mural]

Would it be alright if I took away the fans at the bottom ? And just put reverse fans on the side

[smoky zealot]

Might sound dumb but, I clicked download idk what you mean install.

[tidal geyser]

[smoky zealot]

The file just drops when it finished downloading
