[frigid topaz]

Im buying a i3 12100f lol

[gloomy sleet]

nah?

[solar moat]

thats ok i gess

[gloomy sleet]

has bro ever seen a 5070 or 5080

[stiff sonnet]

idk 5060 entry for new nvidia series

[gloomy sleet]

5070 and 5080 are mid range

[solar moat]

ah yes lets dorp 5k on gpu

[gloomy sleet]

where is blud seeing a 5080 for 5k

[frigid topaz]

Getting a free motherboard and ram so yk need the cheapest cpu which is also way better than what I have rn aka a i7 4790s

[solar moat]

that cpu is passable

[stiff sonnet]

is it normal for gpu vram to get hot?

[frigid topaz]

I7 4790s is fine in most games but i3 12100f gonna be way better, I used to have a i5 10400f and that was perfect

[solar moat]

what is "hot"/what gpu

[normal blade]

I can't decide what to get for school

Could get either a 6th gen iPad or a Pixelbook

[stiff sonnet]

88*c, 7900XTX

[gloomy sleet]

that isn’t hot?

[solar moat]

its fine

[stiff sonnet]

anything close to 90 is concerning

[vapid onyx]

will it really give me exterme performance lol

[stiff sonnet]

i dont got a laptop rofl

[gloomy sleet]

no?

[frigid topaz]

My rx 580 is so hot of a gpu jeez

[gloomy sleet]

anything over 90 is

[vapid onyx]

ok

[gloomy sleet]

88 is perfectly fine

[stiff sonnet]

yeah u right

[solar moat]

remove that SHIT and its now faster

[solar moat]

i may be able to help you get better perfomince

[vapid onyx]

i never thougth it will give me performance

i think it's funny marketing scheme

[solar moat]

what specs?

[vapid onyx]

b580 5600x

i was browsing this "msi" app cause it installed automatically when i re installed windows

[solar moat]

yes its very crapy

[plush bloom]

Hey!!

[solar moat]

what you want faster?

[plush bloom]

I happen to have issue with my shazam chrome extension, is that a valid topic which I could ask here?

[vapid onyx]

nothing im acctualy fine im just saving some money to get a 1tb nvme cause my local pricing is duh im still running on hdd

[sinful cobalt]

blow it up immediately

[vapid onyx]

fr

it's so buggy

[rapid flame]

I have been using MSI mainboards and GPUs forever and didn't have any issues but their software is crap

[sinful cobalt]

MSI, gigabyte and asus software are all dogshit

razer as well but they dont do mobos lol

[vapid onyx]

i don't like gigabyte

[solar moat]

some of them ones good some are shit

[vapid onyx]

gigabyte psu moment

[rapid flame]

I have an overpriced be quiet PSU but I'm happy with it, I never hear it and it has been doing it's thing silently for years. Can't complain

[vapid onyx]

im so broke i play whit one headphone speaker cause the other one broke like 7 months

[rapid flame]

I had a Logitech G432. The plastic that holds the right side broke but the cable was still there. I fixed it with a rope and used it with the rope for over 2 years. I don't use it anymore, but it was wild that it held up so long with this rope lol. haha

[vapid onyx]

i opened the headphones to find out what is the problem and i suspect the wires to the rigth headphone aint conducting anymore

i don't have a multimeter in this house so i don't know

[icy rain]

Honestly, the difference between rx9070xt and rtx 5070 ti

Is near 0 right ?
Just go for the cheapest

[vapid onyx]

the only software i like is the steelseries on from my keyboard

[sinful cobalt]

if ur on oled id recommend 5070ti more
else 9070xt is fine

[vapid onyx]

my keyboard has a little screen i can put anything on it and it has some settings and they casually ad features like they added recently low latenycy mode

[icy rain]

Only 1440p monitor IPS 😀

[rapid flame]

toms hardware has a pretty good chart for GPU performance, give me a sec

aaaaaaaaaaand it doesn't include 50 series

it's useless, sorry

[stiff sonnet]

amd cards get better with every driver update

[icy rain]

It’s okay 😄

[rapid flame]

apparently he stopped doing that when the 9000 and 50 series released :(

[vapid onyx]

WHAT 7700XT IS CLOSE TO 4070 NOOO WHY I DIDN'T GET IT

[rapid flame]

he does compare the 9000 and 50 series, but not to the previous model in a chart like this

[icy rain]

I bought the rx9070xt and 2 weeks after the rtx 5070 ti drops in price matching amd so I just wanted to know if I did not screw up

[vapid onyx]

yeah i got a b580 and didn't notice 7700xt was screaming my name

[sinful cobalt]

i have both a b580 and 9070xt

[vapid onyx]

i found out 20 days later that i could get that whit only 60euro diff

[sinful cobalt]

hiding in plain sight

[vapid onyx]

b580 has many issues

[sinful cobalt]

sounds like a skill issue

[vapid onyx]

i don't know it stutters alot

[dreamy robin]

hey guys i have a question:
could you use a laptop doc, as a powered and data receiving usb hub extension?
thank you very much

[wraith bone]

do air coolers have liquid or semi solid material inside their copper heat pipes ??

[sinful cobalt]

sounds like a rebar issue

[vapid onyx]

nah i got it enabled

[sinful cobalt]

im gonna assume you mean the contact plate
liquid

[sinful cobalt]

what resolution

and did u uncap ur fps

[vapid onyx]

its b580 issue it reaches max power at 1440p 4k

[sinful cobalt]

thats ur problem

b580 isnt a true 1440p gpu

[vapid onyx]

no i keep them capped cause at 1080 p stutters alot

[sinful cobalt]

my aunt has it fine in 1440p 240hz

excel and word

[wraith bone]

yea the contact plate and/or the copper heat pipes which are fed into them in air coolers tho , not in aios

[sinful cobalt]

wait mb

i fucking read air cooler as aio wtf

sorry i need to go sleep

[sinful cobalt]

yes in the heatpipe is liquid

[vapid onyx]

i reduced the stutters by removing hags and capping fps

but they are still there

[sinful cobalt]

uncapping fps incurs more stutters

do u have expo/xmp enabled

[vapid onyx]

yes

running 3600mhz

[stiff sonnet]

if u care about raytracing go for nvda, some games favor nvda and others favor amd. 9070xt keeps improving with driver updates and i personally prefer amd software, thats all i have to say about that. dont feel hesitant to switch to 5070ti if u so desire

[plush bloom]

Im having a issue with my shazam chrome extension on windows 10

It isn't reading it's own .log & .ldb files idk how to fix that, I even tried to reinstall the extension, reset my chrome browser.

I even tried to paste those files in shazam extension on brave browser but doesnt workkk

It has like 500+ songs listed on it!! 😭

I did try to re-write a already open file on brave browser and it did show up but, just for a few seconds and it disappeared againn, within the files though, it went into a folder named lost?

I don't know what to doo guyss

[wraith bone]

so its a myth that air coolers never go bad , only the fans can get bad ?

so might as well go for an aio isntead of top of the line air cooler ?

[sinful cobalt]

the liquid has like nowhere to escape

[white sphinx]

Also its usually all copper in the loop so no real risk of galling

[stiff sonnet]

more working parts = more points of failure. im no expert but from that image that i read that u sent it uses physics with no moving parts, and an aio has a pump

[wraith bone]

yea so no chance of leakage but it still can go bad or reduce in quality after say 4-6 yrs of heavy use ?

[white sphinx]

It probably won’t

[sinful cobalt]

slight reduce in quality but not that noticeable

u shouldnt care about it

[white sphinx]

I would be surprised if it had any performance detriments

[sinful cobalt]

the AIO is less reliable bcs it has more parts in action

[white sphinx]

Like measurable

[wraith bone]

like aios can have leakage issues and/or the coolant inside gets evaporated after some time so they either need refil or replacement , but air coolers wont suffer from that

[tidal geyser]

I have seen months to a lot going only to about 3 years

[white sphinx]

No its a sealed copper box with fluid in it

Essentially

[tidal geyser]

The main issue is that anything alive needs water

[wraith bone]

okk , i thought the base plate and copper heat pipes were hollow and the movement of heat was throigh hot air inside

[tidal geyser]

Hot air inside??

Air coolers are going to last longer then you fyi

[wraith bone]

lol idk , i thought the heat go transferred directly through the copper pipes or something

[white sphinx]

The air part of the name comes from the airflow over the radiating fins

[tidal geyser]

It's liquid inside of the heat pipes

[wraith bone]

yea coolant , pump can go bad after few years and risk of leakage/evaporation

[wraith bone]

gotcha

[white sphinx]

Also, some of the really cheap aios cheap out with the materials and that can cause a headache

[stiff sonnet]

then it busts...

and then they will call it user error and deny any claims

[tidal geyser]

In short just get a air cooler

There is no longer any benefits to s liquid cooler

[wraith bone]

yea so are the super high end aios like the asus ryujin 3 or 4 , are they worth it or just marketing bs ?

[tidal geyser]

It's like 40$ of cooling

It's just garbage asatek parts

[white sphinx]

Imo not worth

[wraith bone]

whats thisd ?

[tidal geyser]

Just get an air cooler

[stiff sonnet]

dual tower air coolers give any aio a run for their money, not as good ofc. but ease of mind and almost no diff

[wraith bone]

corsair , lian li , asus are among the higher range aios , whereas arctic , deepcool give good price/perf.

[proper gull]

Any good AIO is going to last plenty long enough

[vapid ibex]

@tidal geyser what did the card say to you?

[wraith bone]

yea already have one, just needed some info

[tidal geyser]

Arctic makes one of the best aios you can buy????????

[tidal geyser]

What

[vapid ibex]

sim card mwahahaha

[wraith bone]

arctic lf3 is pretty good i guess but not the best .....

[tidal geyser]

Show me a cooler that beats the pro

[raw whale]

https://www.amazon.it/Kingston-NVMe-PCIe-1000G-SNV2S/dp/B0BBWH1R8H?th=1 does this work with normal mobos? cause rn i got this one in a laptop i may just move it for the sake of extra storage for free

[wraith bone]

and they have a vrm fan too , which only corsair and asus give in their high end aios , but arctic aios might give weird pump noises as said by reddit

[white sphinx]

[tidal geyser]

It's a m.2 nvme

[tidal geyser]

All aios have a pump

[raw whale]

oko

[stiff sonnet]

vapor chambver 😋

[tidal geyser]

I also bet the people with issues had the rad bottom mounted

[raw whale]

do i need to format the USB stick to install windows or can there be other files around

[tidal geyser]

You need to use the windows installer on the usb stick but then put files on it

[raw whale]

alr

[white sphinx]

Nah just do what msi laptops do. 80mm fan trying to pull air through a flat panel at absolutely mindblowing rpms

[wraith bone]

arctic's fans are loud tho , it dont matter to me coz i have noctua fans but it might for someone who needs low noise

[tidal geyser]

What

[white sphinx]

Not really. Theyre fine

[tidal geyser]

Just set it to like 800 rpm???

[wraith bone]

under load like 70-85C

[tidal geyser]

Super low

[white sphinx]

You know you can… just… adjust the fan settings right

[stiff sonnet]

1100 rpm minimum

[tidal geyser]

Only reason noctua fans are quieter is since they go slower aka worse cooling then other fans, change my mind.

[white sphinx]

They spend shittons of money on bearings

[tidal geyser]

Only to not really do anything

[haughty compass]

bro my pc just bsod twice in like the past 20 min. one was an "irql_not_less_or_equal" and the other was "system service exception"

should i be worried

[stiff sonnet]

bequiet>

[tidal geyser]

If it works now it works now

[white sphinx]

Got 7x phantex t30s recently. Really enjoying them. Ofc my previous reference point was the lowest common denominator shit tier fans.

[tidal geyser]

Ain't that the price of like a 5060 in fans

[white sphinx]

Nah got them from a friend.

Never buy new 🙂

[tidal geyser]

I do not believe there are any better fans

[vapid onyx]

my fans are 1200rpm max

[tidal geyser]

So why TF did he get rid of em

[patent terrace]

Yo im trying to RMA my GPU to Asus and i keep getting stuck at the insert serial number when i do it and try to verify the it loads and do nothing Anyone having or had the same issues?+

[white sphinx]

He was going to the army iirc. Didn’t want it sitting

[tidal geyser]

Why not just give you the entire pc or smn

[stiff sonnet]

house temp gap ig

[tidal geyser]

More like allow you to borrow

[solar moat]

that number dose not matter

[vapid onyx]

nope 1200 is max

[white sphinx]

Nah i bought those suckers. Legally mine

[tidal geyser]

What GPU and how do you know it's the gpu

[solar moat]

there are fan spining at 200RPM that move way more fulid then some at 10k rpm

[stiff sonnet]

oh like they limit ur fans to 1200rmp

[white sphinx]

[solar moat]

12V at 100% pwm i gessing

[patent terrace]

cuz ive tested other GPUs in the sistem and they work fine this one keep crashing or dosen't want to boot at all

[vapid onyx]

i think they are useless tho when i move my hand near one i don't even feel it

2008 fans

[little maple]

hi!

[tidal geyser]

What GPU

[patent terrace]

TUF-RX7900XT-O20G-GAMING

[tidal geyser]

That is a 3 year old card

[white sphinx]

What sort of power supply do you have

[stiff sonnet]

u put it in good

[tidal geyser]

That too

[little maple]

010

[patent terrace]

i have a NZXT C850 PSU

[patent terrace]

yeah but i bought it a year ago

not even actually 2 months and it was gonna be 1

[plush bloom]

Im having a issue with my shazam chrome extension on windows 10

It isn't reading it's own .log & .ldb files idk how to fix that, I even tried to reinstall the extension, reset my chrome browser.

I even tried to paste those files in shazam extension on brave browser but doesnt workkk

It has like 500+ songs listed on it!! 😭

I did try to re-write a already open file on brave browser and it did show up but, just for a few seconds and it disappeared againn, within the files though, it went into a folder named lost?

I don't know what to doo guyss

[plush bloom]

any help??

[white sphinx]

And cpu?

[stiff sonnet]

used?

[patent terrace]

Brand new

[patent terrace]

Ryzen™ 7 7700X

[stiff sonnet]

and what was gpu before

[stiff sonnet]

its good, psu is fine

[patent terrace]

zero fresh build

one day i got weird graphic issues and the next day my pc didn't wanna boot with the VGA light on

[white sphinx]

But you have tried it with other gpus?

[patent terrace]

yep

[stiff sonnet]

maybe u let it hang too hard

[patent terrace]

i have a gpu support

[white sphinx]

Checked all the pcie pins on your mobo and gpu?

No scuffing or damage there?

[patent terrace]

yep double checked i even changed Pcie slot

[stiff sonnet]

other amd gpus?

[patent terrace]

yee sapphire 7900xt

[stiff sonnet]

shiii

[white sphinx]

Might just be a dead gpu.

Seems like a solid build, random graphics fault, but works with another gpu of the same series?

[stiff sonnet]

do u have enough power to it?

[patent terrace]

now i can boot and play roblox but the shitty mods if i play like tabletop or apex it insta crash and gives me black screen for 10 sec

[stiff sonnet]

no daisy chains?

it says it has 3x 8 pcie pins

[patent terrace]

that's what i gave him

[stiff sonnet]

actually idek think that would be an issue

[sinful cobalt]

i still cant find a single EVGA 3060 12gb wtaf

[white sphinx]

Fans work ok?

[patent terrace]

yep

that led work too

im just confused i don't know what's wrong

[white sphinx]

Weird. Atp i would probably rma it too.

[patent terrace]

if the RMA worked it would have been good i can't even access the site lol

[white sphinx]

No serial number?

[stiff sonnet]

reset/update bios

[patent terrace]

i have everything on me cuz the card is reegistered in the myAsus app

[patent terrace]

hope it works

[white sphinx]

Praying for you

[stiff sonnet]

i mean u can try a diff mobo, best case scenario its ur mobo (even tho it did detect the sapphire card). and then if that doesnt work js rma

gg

[thorn escarp]

hey how am i supposed to turn on dlss 4 on games like rdr2? i used these settings but it's still using the awful looking dlss 2 in the game

[keen saddle]

has anyone here bought a gpu off ebay before

[stiff sonnet]

enable dlss in the game

[thorn escarp]

i know it's dlss 2 cus the shimmering and ghosting is awful, and i dont wanna use taa, it's veryyy blurry

[thorn escarp]

i did! set it to ultra quality

but i wanna use dlaa

[patent terrace]

i lost my usb

[stiff sonnet]

no flash bios in the back? by the usbports

[patent terrace]

yep i do

never used it tho

[stiff sonnet]

nah im dumb, u def need usb stick

[patent terrace]

yep gonna search it

[stiff sonnet]

could just try cmos reset

[patent terrace]

fuck no

[stiff sonnet]

[white sphinx]

Wym

[patent terrace]

everytime i do it i almost broke the cover lmao

[stuck folio]

how do you get the regular roll? is it mentioned in an other channel?

[patent terrace]

still has a plastic piece broken from 2 years ago

[white sphinx]

Take the battery out and let it sit for 5 minutes on a counter?

[patent terrace]

🦧 🔨 me rn

“how to enable dlss4”

[brave brook]

if websites behave incorrectly, first thing to always try is to disable ad blocker, because sometimes non-ad scripts can be caught by it and break websites

[white sphinx]

Im just genuinely confused on how you break something performing a cmos reset😭

[thin trail]

Im trying to change my cpu but I’m stuck at removing the cpu cooler’s mounting ring. Can someone tell me what to do next please ? I tried removing it because I already removed the 4 pins at each of the corners but it still won’t come off. Is there a way to remove it without having to access the back of my motherboard? ( don’t mind my dusty pc )

[raw whale]

damn thats nasty

[stiff sonnet]

😂

[keen saddle]

@azure topaz will a 4080 be fine with a 13500 too?

[brave brook]

not sure what you removed, but doesn't seem like the actual 4 pins were removed

[sinful cobalt]

nah his first mistake was purchasing an asus product

[white sphinx]

Step 1; access the back. No actually step 1 is to clean it

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[raw whale]

wasnt asus one of the best

[thin trail]

It might not seem like that but I promise you they’re removed

[sinful cobalt]

worst*

[raw whale]

damn sob

[stiff sonnet]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-leaf-blower-squidward-sand-gif-25971994

[raw whale]

well

[sinful cobalt]

RMA process? more like scamming process

[wanton flume]

google says that you can tell if ram is ddr4 by speed, is 3200 ddr 4?

[raw whale]

oh well as in support

[brave brook]

and i promise you taht if you actually removed the plastic pins which run through the whole thing, then it would simply fall off

[raw whale]

well i never had problem with their support

[sinful cobalt]

their products are quite mid for S tier prices icl

[white sphinx]

Yes.

[brave brook]

there is literally nothing holding the plastic ring in place

[raw whale]

i mean i got a 5060ti 16gb for 450 from them

[keen saddle]

what do you guys use to clean your mobos, i got an air duster but it not strong enough for most the dust

[raw whale]

thats good isnt it

[sinful cobalt]

the only one i’d say is nice is the 5090 astral but that thing is the definition of overpriced

[wanton flume]

thanks!

is that rlly bad

[white sphinx]

How do you know the transfer speed

[thin trail]

I definitely removed them

[wanton flume]

whatcu mean

[sinful cobalt]

take a brush preferably a thin paint one for precision, turn on a hand vaccum and scoop the dust in

[raw whale]

i believe 3200 was the optimal speed for ddr4 or 3600 i dont remember

[white sphinx]

Are you looking to buy new ram? Or are you looking at old ram trying to determine what to buy

[brave brook]

then that's all, there is nothing else holding that in place. maybe except glue formed from the dust/friction/being stuck in some motherboad components or RAM

[brave brook]

show the bracket under angle

[vapid onyx]

Math aint mathing

[wanton flume]

nah not tryna upgrade just trying to learn more about pc stuff, ddr5 is the best right now right?

[raw whale]

i mean if ur on a budget ddr4 will do just fine afaik

[stiff sonnet]

gddr7

[white sphinx]

Pretty much, even within ddr5 there is a variance of transfer speed.

[vapid onyx]

My old cpu is socket 754 and mobo is fm2+

[raw whale]

my ranked teammates

[white sphinx]

Depends on chipset :3

[stiff sonnet]

😂

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[raw whale]

yeah well ofc make sure its compatible

[sinful cobalt]

if possible just go for a b650 and 8400f for am5 for absolute budget am5

[wanton flume]

thanks yall

[raw whale]

afrom r u a vrm nerd

[thorn escarp]

i wouldnt be asking here if i didnt do that already

[raw whale]

cause ur profile says mosfets and i think thats vrm stuff

[sinful cobalt]

did u update drivers

[brave brook]

nevermind, is see now that you got the see-through plastic bits still in it. Unfortunately you have to open your case then from the back, as the ends of the see-through plastic bits are open and latched to the back of motherboard

[white sphinx]

Perhaps🤓

[raw whale]

am i cooked with an asus tuf b650 plus wifi

[thorn escarp]

yea im on the latest

[stiff sonnet]

maybe dlss is poo on that game

[wanton flume]

isnt gddr7 like a graphics card thing

[white sphinx]

Most likely fine tbh.

[raw whale]

peak

[thorn escarp]

it is.. but people claim dlss 4 is much better

[raw whale]

its got 12+2 60a not bad yeah

[raw whale]

it depends on the game

[keen saddle]

ty

[brave brook]

the black bits you removed pushed the ends of this and you need to push them together from the other side of the mobo for them to be able to slide through the motherboard CPU cooler mount hole

[thorn escarp]

no im talking specifically about rdr2

[white sphinx]

Yes! Although gddr6w is generally better except speed

[raw whale]

wtf why is older better

[white sphinx]

“W” specifically

[stiff sonnet]

gddr7x

[raw whale]

oh i thought it was a typo

[wanton flume]

ok now 1 more question tryna understand the "power scale" 32 gigs of ddr4 vs 16 gigs of ddr5?

[stiff sonnet]

😈

[raw whale]

honestly personally 16gb sucks regardless for me

[wanton flume]

ok gotcha

[raw whale]

its just not enough but i play with my browser open

[white sphinx]

Double the capacity and bandwith in the same package

[wanton flume]

so more is still better unless its like ddr3 bad

[stiff sonnet]

32 isnt enough either

[raw whale]

ddr3 is like 15 years old

[stiff sonnet]

48 the new sweetspot

[raw whale]

isnt it 💀

[white sphinx]

More is still better realistically

[vapid onyx]

This old mobo doesnt even have 2 lock on ram

[wanton flume]

16 isnt a enough nowadays? jeez

[sinful cobalt]

did u select the transformer model

[raw whale]

i mean for me its not but u could make it work but if ur buying new id get 32

[stiff sonnet]

atleast 48

[white sphinx]

16 is the minimum pretty much

Open a few chrome tabs with a game in the background and youre chugging

[wanton flume]

ahh i see

massive performance hit huh

[raw whale]

discord is also ram hungry i believe

[white sphinx]

32gb isn’t really that expensive anymore

[wanton flume]

i mean tbf i have a mid tier mmo up and only discord and im at 72% so i guess you aint wrong

[raw whale]

u can get 32gb for what u couldve gotten 16gb in ddr4 times

[sinful cobalt]

stop crossposting dipshit
ur problem should go to #1027757333117415424

[stiff sonnet]

[wanton flume]

damn ok i guess ill go buy some more!

got like a couple hundred left in the budget

[raw whale]

i mean lol if ur not having problems witrh it dont upgrade

[white sphinx]

Get a set of 2 sticks though.

[wanton flume]

didnt know if to get a another SSD or more ram

[white sphinx]

Whats the plan?

[raw whale]

well depends on ur needs

[wanton flume]

already got all the games I need

[raw whale]

if someone asks me id say 2tb is pretty good overall

[wanton flume]

true

[plush bloom]

ok

[raw whale]

oh then if u dont need more space just like

why buy it, you dont need to spend ur budget

[white sphinx]

What sort of pc is this for?

[raw whale]

sage are u building or upgrading

[wanton flume]

im mainly esports gamer so dont need much but, its been nice casually playing some stuff at 1080

nothing too crazy

[raw whale]

esports???

esports is crazy

[sinful cobalt]

i play valorant in 400 fps

[white sphinx]

Parts😭

If you have ddr4 you can’t easily upgrade to ddr5

[raw whale]

yeah you need like new mobo and possibly cpu

[white sphinx]

New mobo and probably cpu needed then as well.

[wanton flume]

5060 solo, i5-13400f, 16 ram, 1tera SSD

[raw whale]

i think 13400 supports ddr5

[white sphinx]

It really depends on the mobo

[raw whale]

yeah+

[wanton flume]

uhh

[white sphinx]

Take a pic of the ram you have

[raw whale]

hes got 3200 ddr4 what more do u need

[wanton flume]

like of the actual stick or

[white sphinx]

Then new mobo that shrimple

[raw whale]

take a pic for afro

but its probably ddr4

[wanton flume]

yall need the stick ._.?

[sinful cobalt]

hes ddr4

[keen saddle]

do the 40 series cards do well with ddr4?

[sinful cobalt]

that doesnt matter

[white sphinx]

Yeah. Upgrading to ddr5 isnt an easy endeavour.

[wanton flume]

rip

[keen saddle]

ok, just want to make sure

[raw whale]

well u can upgrade for 250

[wanton flume]

like not easy in terms of cost or

[raw whale]

cost is what he means i believe

[wanton flume]

cause i need new mb?

[white sphinx]

Essentially yes. Also new ram

[raw whale]

yah and yk basically do pc from scratch

[keen saddle]

my current system is a 13500 and 32gb ddr4, bought a 4080 online about 10 minutes ago so just wanting to know if i need anything else

[wanton flume]

rip

[stiff sonnet]

hope u dont get scammed

[raw whale]

pro tip: dont go asking if its good or bad cause then ur just gonna feel worse cause u didnt get the best

[vapid ibex]

is ur psu good

[keen saddle]

nope but im working on that currently, ill have one before the gpu gets here

i do not trust my current one

[vapid ibex]

good then enjoy the gpu

[stiff sonnet]

1600w?

[wanton flume]

hopefully i can sit on this for at least a 2-3 years then, havent had any major issues yet, dont have a 1440 monitor to try anything wild, though thats prob were my system stops

[white sphinx]

Its essentially the same as getting a new chassis for your car. Might not cost that much but youre gonna have to take every part off the old one and fit them to the new one. Easy enough if you know your way around a ‘puter but takes a while regardless

[keen saddle]

current one is 750w asus tuf, but im sceptical about it. ivs been looking at a hx1000i as an upgrade

[vapid ibex]

750 is fine

but more headroom is not bad

[raw whale]

he doesnt like it cause it randomly shuts off or something

if i recall

[vapid ibex]

oh ok makes sense then

[abstract wigeon]

dont get a new psu unless you need to its completely useless as an upgrade

[keen saddle]

yeah and i took the pc to a repair guy and he put a 2080 in it and it didnt work

[raw whale]

OH yeah fan doesnt spin that was problem

[keen saddle]

fan didnt spin at startup but apparently thats normal

[white sphinx]

Its still crazy to me you can run 240w through a new usb-c cable

[sinful cobalt]

somewhere out there there is a chad using a 5090 with a sf750

[raw whale]

startup, sure, heavy loads? prob not

[raw whale]

so ill be fine with 4090 850 LOL

good cause i was worried

a tad

[sinful cobalt]

heres the argument (850w is fine for 4090)

[keen saddle]

is it possible that a motherboard could break a gpu

[patent terrace]

I found the usb stick will give tall update

[sinful cobalt]

anything about a gpu is either it dies of natural causes or its user error

[white sphinx]

Or literal lightning strikes.

Which i guess is a natural cause

[sinful cobalt]

nah user error

[keen saddle]

my last card was a 3090 that was tested by my grandfather before he sent it (unsupported internationally) i plugged it in (possibly incorrectly) and it didnt work, went back to his country and local pc guy said everything was fine other than the actual gpu on the card

[white sphinx]

Electrician error

[vapid ibex]

One Linus drop and Ur doomed

[keen saddle]

technically he said central chip in polish so could be something else but very central

[white sphinx]

How did he come to that conclusion?

[keen saddle]

and i dont think it being unsupported would blow out the centre of the card so i must’ve plugged it in wrong

[keen saddle]

i dont know, he had to buy some extra parts to check and then when it didnt startup that was the only possibility i guess?

[patent terrace]

Still dunno why my gpu died

[vapid ibex]

Idk why but I keep seeing many people saying get the 9800x3d for cs2 when their CPU isn't the problem

[keen saddle]

i still have the card, still dk what to do with it

[delicate zodiac]

Are cable extensions save if you buy from good rated chinase company on Alibaba and you connect them tightly in psu cables ?

[white sphinx]

Probably the gpu shrimply dying unfortunately

[patent terrace]

The graphic glitches get worst by the day

[white sphinx]

Not worth the savings compared to somewhere with a proper warranty and reputable manufacturing

Also just get longer cables man

[delicate zodiac]

And fans from asiahorse?

[white sphinx]

I have never in my life heard of asiahorse

[patent terrace]

Still rma doesn't work

[white sphinx]

Call them.

[patent terrace]

Yes i will

[vapid ibex]

I want advice tbh should I get a LGA 1700 system where I can refuse my ram and stuff for 280 or save up more and get a 450 quid system with am5 but ram is reduced from 128gb to 32

[sinful cobalt]

[white sphinx]

Am5. Tbh.

[vapid ibex]

I saw a video of 60mins of Linux dropping things and it was amazing lol came out 2 months ago

[patent terrace]

Worst case scenario what's a good replacement? I was thinking 5070ti

[white sphinx]

Unless you absolutely critically need 128gb of ram

[white sphinx]

I mean its probably still under warranty…

Less than a year old and has bad graphics glitches and crashes? Sounds like a refund/new gpu to me at least

[patent terrace]

Asus are not that kind for rma as far as ppl told me

[sinful cobalt]

u can try

[white sphinx]

You live in europe by any chance?

[patent terrace]

[white sphinx]

Then it doesnt matter what asus are like

You’re covered under buyers warranty

Ryzen 7 5800x 32gb crucial pro 6000mhz . 650W PSU Vs i5 13400f the same PSU . My current 128gb 3200mhz DDR4 ram idk what to go for

[patent terrace]

I just booted the defected gpu sistem and i got greated with a big green dot in the center of the screen

[jagged perch]

@white sphinx is right. You are covered by Italian/EU consumer rights, and ASUS can only ever add to this.

[patent terrace]

Pog then

[jagged perch]

Anything goes wrong, the store you bought from is reaponsible for figuring it out

[white sphinx]

Its under a year old, and the absolute minimum is 2 years for all electronics

[sinful cobalt]

grab ur iron, we’re going to storm asus hq

It used to not have an age limit, so I got old laptops fixed for free because I printed out the laws and argued that laptops typically work fine 7-10 years later, so mine is still within the "expected lifetime" :p

They updated the law to max out at 5 years

[patent terrace]

Yall had infinity money glitches

[jagged perch]

I bet the thing I did was why

[white sphinx]

Well the electronics stores here charge an arm and a leg so warranty should be 10 years regardless

[sinful cobalt]

they got hit in 2023, they’re not expecting another one in 2077-

[patent terrace]

Update i have full black screen and no post yeah i think it died

Rest in piece 7900xt

[jagged perch]

Yeah I feel like there should be some expectation of certain things lasting up to 10 years

[white sphinx]

Email asus. Complain. Specifically mention the eu warranty. Document it all

FUCK annoying kids are screaming in cs2

[dull zinc]

I guess no one knows

[forest osprey]

Bro why asking that in a tech server💀

[forest osprey]

Very much why my voice chat is disabled always

[patent terrace]

I did a ticket and an email complaining both to asus italy and asus eu via ticket and email address so i think they'll hear me

[vapid ibex]

I actually disabled it. Kid keeps shooting people and shouting for hell knows what like I'm trying to understand the game and can't even do nun

[forest osprey]

I wish there was a hotkey to do it like PUBG

[vapid ibex]

Also he barely sounds 11

[forest osprey]

But apparently you gonna open settings everytime

[vapid ibex]

There isn't?

I thought once I disabled it then it's fine

[forest osprey]

I don't know. I never needed a voice chat so didn't research much on it

[solar moat]

i can think of a few but dont want to be banned

[forest osprey]

By hotkey I meant disabling it and re enabling it in game as needed

[vapid ibex]

Ya ik what U mean. I have to go to the scoreboard and disable it

[forest osprey]

Well, kids are annoying, especially in competitive titles

[forest osprey]

Yeah, I would like it if they had a hotkey to do it or we could set up our own, they need to make it a thing

[vapid ibex]

I wish I could enjoy the game without having a kid shouting at me for not defusing the bomb when I'm trying to kill an enemy

[vapid ibex]

Well the game is kinda broken even in optimization

[forest osprey]

Imagine being soo unlucky your first i9 14900ks got fked, like instability issues, and second one you dont even know if its lost or smth

[vapid ibex]

The driver ate it

[forest osprey]

More unoptimized than PUBG at this point

[forest osprey]

this is a 500 bucks chip, if it gets stolen idk how to feel

[forest osprey]

lol

[vapid ibex]

Before 2 months ago I got 250fps now I get 200 to 160 which I don't mind since I have a 180hz monitor anyway but why make performance worse

[forest osprey]

Which CPU are you on?

[forest osprey]

I used to get about 500+-50 in most cases but then it dropped to like 420+-50, so yeah, it's getting more unoptimized as time goes

[vapid ibex]

Xeon E5 2697 v4 I know it's a Xeon and it's old and stuff but that doesn't justify a performance decrease or it might be AMD drivers acting up since I have a 9060xy

[forest osprey]

my dream to see CS2 on 1000 fps is gonna stay a dream lol

[vapid ibex]

Lmao I hate when they say get a 9800x3d like it's a bag of chips

[forest osprey]

Well, atleast it's ddr4 ram

[vapid onyx]

Are my old fans quiet?

[forest osprey]

Eh.. 9800x3d is a good cpu still for 300 bucks idk that's how much it costs rn, it can give you gaming performance of a 14900ks, but in synthetic benchmarks it's about 50% as powerful as a 14900ks

[vapid ibex]

Ya lol

[vapid ibex]

True I don't get the hate for intel

WTF 2 PEOPLE camping why just why lmao scared the shit out of me

[forest osprey]

Well, the reason I'm getting a second 14900KS is because my 1st one had instability issues, despite using updated BIOS with a MSI Z790 Gaming Plus Wifi motherboard

Hate of intel is justified

for*

[vapid ibex]

I mean the 14th gen didn't have the best stability in first place

[solar moat]

1 note about the 14900ks is the e-cores dont help at all in games but a bit in allcore
and if you skilled with tuning it can be very conpative

[solar moat]

1.7V into cpu dose not help

at least intel fixed that but there was fix from lunch dont use vid system

[forest osprey]

They're using better quality silicon in 15th gen and running them on lower clocks, like U9 285k, it's running 4.6 Ghz on all E cores, in 14900K it was 4.4 Ghz, obviously they wouldnt do it till the silicon quality was better, and the 14900K boosting 6 Ghz, this one is going only 5.8, hence better stability

[solar moat]

arrow lake is pile of shit for gamign

[forest osprey]

I have 16 E cores but they're not for gaming, they're meant to handle background tasks, and in productivity workloads they add up to about half of the CPU's power

[vapid ibex]

E cores aren't that bad ngl

[forest osprey]

285k wasn't a very great decision imo

[solar moat]

i wonder if Minecraft can able to not trip over them and make uses of them

[forest osprey]

I would get upto 5200 fps in minecraft with 4% CPU usage so yeah... not like its a weak CPU

[solar moat]

i mean for mods that uses 64 cores

[vapid ibex]

I have 18 physical cores and 36 t I wonder how it would do in Minecraft+ 128gb ram

[tidal geyser]

15th gen is chiplet but not

aka why gaming performance was so shit

[solar moat]

its not moalithic

13700k offen just better

[tidal geyser]

ooooorrrrr you can go with a platform that will get a new and usable cpu

[forest osprey]

Your RAM speed matters too... and your old CPU cant do much even with 128 GB RAM... cuz RAM is more about latency than speed, you can install a 5.2 GB/s SSD for under 60 bucks but it wont help your gaming

[vapid ibex]

I'm using quad channel ram which is comparable to 3200mhz ram

[tidal geyser]

steamdeck

[trim warren]

Guys what is the difference between expo and xmp?

[tidal geyser]

what HEDT cpu?

[solar moat]

my 1200mhz ddr3 is faster then some ddr4 3800

[forest osprey]

That's nice to know but your CPU is not a gaming CPU... server CPUs are meant for productivity workloads

[tidal geyser]

expo is for amd

[solar moat]

there same in practice

[trim warren]

I have a ryzen 9 9950x

[solar moat]

ok get ddr5 6000

[tidal geyser]

soooo use expo?

[forest osprey]

xmp is for intel

[solar moat]

expo/xmp are the same

[trim warren]

I see one with only xmp and other one wich has both

[tidal geyser]

what about geforce now, ha got you

[solar moat]

just about any ddr5 6000 ram is fine

[tidal geyser]

just use expo

[trim warren]

30cl 6000 mhz good enough?

[forest osprey]

I'm using a 7600 xt with 14900ks, it is next year I'll get a 5080, till then I'm using a 7600 xt, temporarily that is

[vapid ibex]

Minecraft benefits from more cores ik it's not a gaming CPU lol

[tidal geyser]

UPDATE BIOS NOW

[solar moat]

tcl dose not matter vs all the other timigns

[forest osprey]

nice to know that ig...

[forest osprey]

I have the latest bios and still had to RMA my cpu💀

[solar moat]

try static oc with 1.3V or less

[tidal geyser]

what made you even go intel in the first place

but yea latest bios a 13900k person also got a failing cpu

[forest osprey]

I wont do it. I'll use my new 14900ks stock, if insability issues persist I'll use higher loadlines

[patent terrace]

I mean most ppl know just intel cuz they don't game or ain't interested in knowing where and how to use their sistem in

[forest osprey]

Because I was getting a 14900ks for 500 bucks and I thought issues are fixed, they weren't. and 9950x3d was 875 bucks at that time, I'm indian and our tech deals SUCK

[vapid ibex]

What's wrong with what I said lmao

[tidal geyser]

9800X3D even back then was like 500

[forest osprey]

I wouldnt get a 9800x3d because of it's 50% CPU power compared to 14900ks and only gaming performance being comparable

[trim warren]

Oh I see, those are the ram btw https://amzn.eu/d/iiwdHeN

[tidal geyser]

well gaming performance is like 20% better and way more in some games

[forest osprey]

No that's alright.. I'm just not into minecraft a lot and I dont understand why people like that game, but yeah, it's nice to know it benefits from more cores

[patent terrace]

There is cheaper option with the same output but if they suit your taste why not

[forest osprey]

I don't care for gaming performance really... I'm okay with my 14900ks I just want it to be stable... and really except price, AMD wins in everything

[tidal geyser]

9950X

[vapid ibex]

Oh I don't play Minecraft too I was just talking about it since it was mentioned and wondered lol but I don't even own Minecraft on pc

[forest osprey]

if AMD prices were reasonable I would go with AMD CPU but nvm, cant do anything now

ever tried to look at Czech shops?

[solar moat]

wow that overpriced AF

[forest osprey]

Ohh alright.. actually my lil bro is a minecraft addict, my friend and my other friend made some good amount of money from minecraft and I never understood whats interesting in the game so yeah.. that explains ig

[tidal geyser]

minecraft is a lot more single core reliant on pure fps

think it also benefits a lot from extra cache

[vapid ibex]

Lmao that's cool ya U can get money from hosting server

[forest osprey]

Well, a 9950x3d still goes for 800 bucks here, worth buying?

[solar moat]

nope

[trim warren]

Indeed

[tidal geyser]

i would argue 9950X or 9800X3D no inbetween

[solar moat]

same

[solar moat]

you need 64GB?

[tidal geyser]

if you have like a 5090 then meh 9950X3D if you do a lot of sim its fine

[forest osprey]

Not hosting server but like... making money by crafting maps, and that too jobs like 300 bucks, 200 bucks, etc. I was driven insane by craze of that game

By cheapest I mean $30 fan kits

[trim warren]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

that is expensive

[forest osprey]

$30 per 3 fans that is

for a $10k pc

[tidal geyser]

i think there are 5 great fans for like 15

[patent terrace]

For 30 you get like 5 artic fans

[forest osprey]

But yeah, they are some good fans, ant esports shift flow ig they're called, you can reverse them with click of a button, I didnt' know about that or I would use those fans too

[tidal geyser]

just higher binned

defo not 10%

[forest osprey]

No, they're different CPUs. let me show some benchmarks why I think so

[tidal geyser]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

hahahahahahaha

[tidal geyser]

omg a super OCed over stock cpu is better then a stock one

[delicate zodiac]

40$ for 3 cables that are shipped from Chinese factory I don’t know about this

[tidal geyser]

noooooo never

[forest osprey]

Weren't we comparing 13900k and 14900ks?

[solar moat]

whos data is that?

[tidal geyser]

you do know where most things are made???

[forest osprey]

It's from chatgpt, you can look up for yourself

[tidal geyser]

chat gpt

[solar moat]

LOLLOOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[forest osprey]

you will see the same results if chatgpt was precise ig

[tidal geyser]

chat gpt sucks ass since it has no actual info

[solar moat]

lol i have better data in fever dreams

[delicate zodiac]

In Asia for cheap

[tidal geyser]

the issue is cooling, bios version, ram speeds, OC, and so on

[forest osprey]

Welp, it looks up forums for benchmarks, you can find ones for yourself and lemme know if they're actually that different or chatgpt is wrong

[tidal geyser]

so why not just buy direct from china?

[forest osprey]

Yeah, I'm sure with unlimited PL the difference between 14900ks and 13900k wont be huge, but if we can make them theoratically hit the higher boost frequencies maybe the difference will sustain

[tidal geyser]

in short its the same cpu the only difference it comes with a better factory OC

[solar moat]

blender there same 7 zip there with in 1%

842 vs 828 in adobe so large

[forest osprey]

5.9 on all cores with 2 cores on 6.2, yeah I would call it an insane overclock. intel also increased tdie surface area from 13th to 14th gen, for the 14900ks, idk about other chips

[solar moat]

650 vs 640 so large

[forest osprey]

Idk why intel launched the 14th gen, it feels like an impulsive decision considering how less the difference is

[solar moat]

there same chips

[tidal geyser]

money

[forest osprey]

plus the instability with degradation issues

[forest osprey]

and that sucks if it's true

[solar moat]

intel used the same die on all there 13/14 cpus apart for the low end i3/5 they used alderlake chips vs raprot lake

[forest osprey]

that doesnt make any sense, why have a 14th gen even then...

[tidal geyser]

MONEY

[solar moat]

ask the pseon they fired

[tidal geyser]

can claim 3 generations of support

[solar moat]

at least its higher then 1 on 1851

[delicate zodiac]

Somebody said its not good but idk if I buy from high rated company and I plug it in right I should be good right?

[forest osprey]

yeah... they saved millions doing that apparently, per annum that is

[latent pasture]

they need something to keep in news cycle

[tidal geyser]

extensions is just bad since it adds resistance so no matter what you buy it will be worse

I used to hate nvidia's 5060 after the 4060 but not anymore as much as intel's i9 13th vs 14th

[delicate zodiac]

And what that means?

[tidal geyser]

well what i said

[forest osprey]

they probably dont even manufacture a 13900k anymore, they probably just supply a 14900k instead, free upgrade lol

I mean in case of RMA

[tidal geyser]

more cable= more problems (bc physics)

[keen saddle]

theres a nearby pg32ucdm at like 65% msrp, think thatll be a good option

dont know how much ill use the dual mode but it seems like a cool feature if i ever play a fps

[trim warren]

There are other rams options?

[vapid ibex]

I heard disabling AMD metrics is advised is that true?

[abstract wigeon]

trying to work out what to play now battlefield 6 beta is closed

[zealous plover]

That’s cool

[vapid ibex]

Is bf6 really that good

I don't see the hype

[abstract wigeon]

have you played it?

i mean it depends what kinda game youre into if you dont like shooters you wont like it

[vapid ibex]

The gameplay looks similar to 5

[abstract wigeon]

you need to play it

[vapid ibex]

It's only the graphics that changed

[abstract wigeon]

feels completely different

even better than bf1 for me

and i loveee bf1

[vapid ibex]

Welp they at least redeemed themselves

From 2042

[abstract wigeon]

yeah hopefully it only gets better

the second they do a squidgame crossover its over for the franchise cough cough cod

i still wont be preordering it though

you never know what can happen

[vapid ibex]

@abstract wigeon what do U think is a great option to download

I'm gonna be stuck in the house for atleast 3 weeks so might as well enjoy

[abstract wigeon]

i mean i enjoyed spiderman 2

played a tiny bit of wukong its pretty great i just suck

[mortal venture]

Smol

[vapid ibex]

Funny thing is I played them all just haven't finished them and I'm contemplating which one to try first because since I changed GPUs I didn't play any of them

[jagged perch]

It's kinda going back to BF4, but the focus they have isn't the same as in BF4. It's still more "fast paced and competitive", which is code for "COD"

I don't think that's a BAD thing, but it's not necessarily trying to get BF veterans back

[random gyro]

Do i need a beefy cooler for 7700?

[tidal geyser]

a 65w chip???????
THAT COMES WITH A COOLER TOO

the same kinda cooler that can cool a ryzen 9

well can vs should, good nuf for 120w but more i would get a actual tower cooler

[random gyro]

idk dawg i have an AIO now with my 7800x3d but im switching to 7700 and idk if i should get rid of the cooler and get a smaller one too

[tidal geyser]

switching why?

the 7800X3D uses like 50w

[random gyro]

i realised i dont actually need it so im downgrading and getting some of that money back

[tidal geyser]

like 50$

the 7800X3D is going for like 320 brand new and the 77 what 200+

[random gyro]

7700 is like 210eur and 7800x3d is 340 here

so yeah

[tidal geyser]

i would not bother

[abstract wigeon]

i mean if you really need the money 🤷

[tidal geyser]

and the gaming performance drop is just no

i would not

[random gyro]

idk i kinda dont wanna spend over 1400 on a pc

[random gyro]

even at 1440 ultrawide?

[lime roost]

Does anyone have laptop recommendations? I'm gonna use it for school and literally nothing else because I have a PC at home. I'm not doing anything artistic or anything just a bit of coding on the side. Ideally windows and a 13-14 inch screen to take everyday that has a long battery life and isn't too pricey. Thanks

-# Feel free to keep ping on for the reply

[abstract wigeon]

if its just for school im guessing it can all be done in a browser and coding is probably light so literally any laptop will do

[tidal geyser]

but you already spent it?

[random gyro]

yes, but im simply returning the item and getting my money back. not a huge deal

[lime roost]

Any specific recommendations tho? There are a lot to pick from

[tidal geyser]

I HATE HATE HATE return culture with a burning passion

[abstract wigeon]

i doubt you will notice much of a difference, just get one with all the creature comforts you like

[random gyro]

and i love it ❤️

[raw trout]

Guys

If I want to upgrade from mac os el capitan to big sir(max compatible os) will macos do it for me or do I have to do it manually

Like is it going to say no updates for you or one by one upgrade or skip the others and go to big sur

[fresh escarp]

spiderman fire, finished it on my gfs steamdeck and her pc

[jagged perch]

@tidal geyser I've gone back on the AIO idea and I decided on a different cabinet. Asus Proart PA602 with the steel side. It has great airflow, and comes with two 200mm fans in the front and a 140mm in the rear. I'm getting a Noctua cooling tower for the CPU. If I want I can fit a 420mm AIO radiator on the top and a 360mm in the front, so I can always change my mind later and not be limited.

[vapid ibex]

I am stuck on mj missions and I hate it

[tidal geyser]

eh noctua is just overpriced

[raw trout]

@tidal geyser halp

[tidal geyser]

but its already a 50k pc so why not

[jagged perch]

Noctua cult 4life

[raw trout]

50 K????!?

[tidal geyser]

why not check settings if not find something online

[tidal geyser]

nok so about 5k usd

well now its more like 6k

[raw trout]

Im in gym rn i have only gone to the account part and the welcome video thingy didn't play 😢

[jagged perch]

I split my order between stores to collect the best prices, so it's down to about $5k with these updated specs

[raw trout]

Wow

[sweet grail]

[tidal geyser]

[raw trout]

Windows ai pc

It's crappy but it's what your working on so

Crappy meaning slow

[tidal geyser]

issues it has is just speakers are fucked, fan is on the way out and the feet are gone. The best part is a new fan and feet is like 10$ and the speaker i could not care less about and just upgrading the wifi and bluetooth card to wifi 6e and BT 5.3

but what can i say 100$

[sweet grail]

i think ill be needing a gaming pc cuz of to run ml models

[exotic cape]

@tidal geyser bro, stop using Finn. it's not good for you.

[jaunty apex]

Not that bad. Spent I think $80 on this laptop (battery and fan) and its even more fucked up than how I started now

[tidal geyser]

i can make a wall of gaming computers for the price of your phone

[jaunty apex]

Because I put a fucked up ribbon cable back in and it burned, killing idk what but I get no display at all, don't think it posts

[exotic cape]

Uhm, I can make a wall of chips for the price of one if your computers

[sweet grail]

[raw trout]

He needs a ai pc

For what he is uldoign

[tidal geyser]

das is nuf for windows 11

[jaunty apex]

What wars? Windows dominates desktop. Linux dominates servers and is creeping into more desktops (and handhelds)

[tidal geyser]

school

[jaunty apex]

Bro mentioned anything other than windows and suddenly nukes fall

[raw trout]

Linux needs a pc (optional) basically can run on anything that has 1gig or more

[sweet grail]

bro😭 youll make me cry

[raw trout]

Yeah but his main is ai based subject

[latent pasture]

linux will never get big market share without turning into just another windows
its almost guaranteed bc its alr happened before

[sweet grail]

i came up with asus tuf f15 i7 but it has heating and low battery efficiency

[latent pasture]

all laptops have that

[tidal geyser]

well anything that uses electricity will create heat

[tidal geyser]

what about a broken one

[jaunty apex]

I like how this meme is wrong as well

[tidal geyser]

for macOS you need a AMD gpu

and i think intel cpu

[raw trout]

What laptop he needs?

[raw trout]

A m1 mac you can get for 600bri

Old body tho

[jaunty apex]

Just GPU, and pre 7000 series (not including some 6000 series cards like the 6700)

[sweet grail]

and it is 2023 gen 13, my institute is giving me free i5 gen 14 lappie but its not enough so ig ill wait for something better cuz i dont know about today's market laptop

[latent pasture]

nothing beats free

[raw trout]

I got my macbook yesterday for free after waiting 2 month's

[sweet grail]

i mean they wont give u much

[raw trout]

My first macbook

[sweet grail]

[tidal geyser]

[jaunty apex]

On the other hand you'd be surprised what people throw away

[tidal geyser]

[iron glen]

https://tenor.com/view/go-do-it-yes-no-go-for-it-gif-17183104

[jaunty apex]

Good luck

[sweet grail]

my friends are techy and i find it cool

[vapid ibex]

Is there any point of doing it tho? The performance is lower on modern games by a few percentages I think because of amateur drivers

[jaunty apex]

Other than curiosity if you have any other reasons prob not

[iron glen]

probably not, gits and shiggles

best reason to do anything

[vapid ibex]

Shiggles gitted my curiosity but curiosity killed the git

I will think about it i don't wanna reinstall windows

[jaunty apex]

I mean I haven't since I moved to Linux lol

[clear canyon]

Why is nothing beating free 😭

[jaunty apex]

maybe once but it wasn't kept

[iron glen]

should probably switch to linux

[sweet grail]

best linux for like yknow edward snowden like

[vapid ibex]

There's probably 0 reason for the average user to switch to Linux

[jaunty apex]

He's a paranoid hermit right? Probably qubes

Oh NSA. Still probably qubes

[clear canyon]

Sup, i stayed up too late last night and now im sleepy

[iron glen]

idk i called him nonchalant and it got him really really really mad 😭

[clear canyon]

Oh yeah? Well your're a dinky

[jaunty apex]

Clearly not nonchalant, take that shit back

[sweet grail]

[vapid ibex]

Nonchalant dreadhead caught lacking

[jaunty apex]

Good luck

[sweet grail]

[exotic cape]

That's a wierd reaction.

[iron glen]

i mean, not really. its the internet

[clear canyon]

I too get violently angry when i drink 3 cups of my hot bean juice

[sweet grail]

battlefield 4 vs battlefield 6?

[clear canyon]

?

[jagged perch]

Wasn't his coffee, and it wasn't his house

[exotic cape]

BF4 for nostalgia but bf6 is almost spot on with the battlefield feeling.

[exotic cape]

Same, but I stick to white monster instead.

[jaunty apex]

I get irrationally angry after about my 4th cup of water

[sweet grail]

my friend gave me battlefield 4 for free 4 years ago but my laptop is noob its still sitting in my origin account

[sweet grail]

i get very angry if i get angry

[iron glen]

A white monster and a bag of nuts is a good start to the day.

Thats how I usually start my mornings

[sweet grail]

feedback loop from hell
~mark manson

[exotic cape]

I mean that literally, since my job consists of lifting boxes of bagged cashew nuts.

[jaunty apex]

I used to do that too actually lmao

Vegan cheese go brrr

[exotic cape]

The best days are when we are producing chilli nuts, since they are delicious.

[sweet grail]
