[latent pasture]

"you have a billion"

[wet ember]

It's not completely broken but there are some stuff that has been annoying to deal with

[placid mirage]

Not everyone is an asshole

what car do you have

[sinful cobalt]

when it comes to money ill trust me, myself and I

[latent pasture]

look at this sweet summer child who hasnt seen how people deal with large amts of money

[wet ember]

2011 328xi

[placid mirage]

Key word not everyone is an asshole, many are, not all

[placid mirage]

my condolences

over here that 3 series gen is known for being shit

[wet ember]

😞

[placid mirage]

i dont have a car yet but when i do im gonna try and get something fwd hatchback from the 90s to early 2000s

hot hatch

but not very hot cause im not that rich

more like lukewarm hatch

[wet ember]

Hatchbacks are being phased out, glad you still want one

[placid mirage]

something like this

mk4 golf i have a softspot for

[sinful cobalt]

He’s fucked in the head, the world’s fucked in the head, and your head is fucked up because my fucked up head is inside it

[placid mirage]

my love

[placid mirage]

id hope you arent inside of me

[wet ember]

I want a XV50 hybrid Camry so badly, $10-15k tho, Toyota tax

[placid mirage]

i wand a mk1 ford focus, not the same as your american focuses with those ugly big fat bumpers and grilles and foglamps

or a mk2 prefacelift

or

a mondeo

[wet ember]

why are cars so cheap in europe

[placid mirage]

i dont know

[latent pasture]

how is that even a question

[wet ember]

For $500 in the US, you're finding some clapped out ghetto civic

[placid mirage]

lucky for me though i know a mate who lives in ireland and cars are even cheaper over there so i could take a ferry, buy one, come back, do the paperwork and come back with a cheap car thats fine

he was willing to sell me an audi a4 for something like 500 quid

not a base model either

[wet ember]

500... does it have like a timing chain problem

[placid mirage]

nope he just had it donew

it was mint

[wet ember]

500 on an a4 is too good to be true lmao

[placid mirage]

maybe it was a friend discount

[storm spoke]

anyone know how to make startup apps on windows 11 not take forever to start up? hardware isn't the issue

I gotta sit for 2-3 min after logging in

[odd linden]

uh idk but i just saw this, whats this actually used for?

[storm spoke]

I have that disabled

I think settings > bluetooth and devices > mobile

[plain cypress]

I think it's for phone link

[odd linden]

wtf is phone link

[plain cypress]

If you haven't set up phone link it should be doing pretty much nothing

[storm spoke]

non functional garbage

[plain cypress]

Showing phone notifications on desktop

I've not tried it cause I do not care

[odd linden]

oh ew what

[plain cypress]

I experimented with Intel unison and it was fine

[odd linden]

idk i always have dnd on my pc

no notification, but then again my pc is for gaming so

[plain cypress]

But like why did Intel make that app

[storm spoke]

if anyone knows about this please lmk ^ searches turn up with nothing useful

[plain cypress]

I also tried Samsung's windows to PC linking app (I forgot the name) and it also worked fine but ya know only compatible with Galaxy devices and I went back to pixel

[odd linden]

idk i dont like having notification on my pc

[plain cypress]

Disable unused startup apps

[storm spoke]

first thing I did

[odd linden]

and i got my apple watch for notification if my phone isnt here already

[plain cypress]

Some apps let you do more than notifications

Like the Samsung one you can transfer files, use phone as a camera, and even mirror phone screen

[odd linden]

i see

is this even needed?

[plain cypress]

I do not know what capabilities the Microsoft one has

[storm spoke]

no I have that off

[steel umbra]

i'd just like them to be less annoying about it

[odd linden]

this for audio?

[plain cypress]

The Samsung one?

[storm spoke]

yes keep that (80% sure)

[steel umbra]

android phones in general

[plain cypress]

Fuck u buddy

[steel umbra]

sync browser, sync files, use our ai assistant, etc.

just dont make full screen popups

[storm spoke]

I forget stock windows 11 exists, enterprise version has been the only one I can tolerate

doesn't come with any of the stock bloatware

[plain cypress]

I've lost the plot here

What's your complaint with android

[grizzled frost]

use rufus and you never get any bloatware

[steel umbra]

android is awesome but companies like samsung make the experience worse for me

[plain cypress]

Samsung actually doesn't advertise their windows linking app much

[storm spoke]

not an android issue for me I just think windows needs to stop pushing its slop services all over the operating system

[plain cypress]

You have to go out of your way to set it up

It's a pretty decent piece of software

Or it was 4 years when I still had a galaxy

[grizzled frost]

first phone to make me tempted to switch to android is the fold 7

[steel umbra]

and ads in UI, atleast with the option to opt out

for A series and M series

same with poco

but i couldn't opt out

in the default camera app

[storm spoke]

found the fix 🙏

apps are starting up right away

cpu fan spins up for a minute but I infinitely prefer that over staring at a blank screen for 2 min

[steel umbra]

i found A71's ui fine too, it's the recent phones that sometimes make me lose 1% of my sanity

non issue for S series tho, expect AI

atleast for s23/u and older

[plain cypress]

I've only used Samsung notes

Oh and s21 fe for work

But like it's also enterprise software settings

My note4 and note10+ were pretty decent experiences

Although TouchWiz on the note4 was pretty damn rough

OneUI was a huge improvement

[livid escarp]

question

[gilded harness]

gang should i get o11 in big 2025

[livid escarp]

would the cpu utilization be a reporting error? running cinebench + 3dmark to test power supply and somehow it reported a steady 130% load

[azure topaz]

yes, 3dmark is often wrong

cpu temp 80c thru gpu test is wild.

[livid escarp]

it reported the same in hwinfo

I was running cinebench and 3dmark stress tests at the same time so that's why cpu temp was so high

[azure topaz]

odd

but valid

[livid escarp]

I'm only doing this because I had an unexpected shutdown earlier, when it rebooted there was a warning about over temp on the cpu, but I'm not sure how that could happen

[gilded harness]

i think theres a uhh

power reporting accuracy thing if that helps with anythin g

[livid escarp]

thermal shutdown on AMD chips is at 115C, I doubt it actually got that hot

[safe roost]

a EVGA 500w Gold can handle a RX 6750XT?
i will pair it with a 5700x
I want to upgrade my R5 3500x and dying RX 580

[steel umbra]

yes, barely

[gilded harness]

it would work but id upgrade the psu later on

[sinful cobalt]

reconsider ur life choices that lead u to the o11

[steel umbra]

which evga gold?

model

[safe roost]

EVGA 500 GD say in the box, i buy it in Dec 2019

[steel umbra]

that's fine

should work without shutting down

in the absolutely worst case that's very unlikely to happen the psu will die

[safe roost]

is that I found a deal on the used 6750xt at just over 200 usd, and looking at the market in my country (Mexico), I think it's a good deal

[sand heron]

why do videos make it look like powersuplly cables are impossible to do but i just built my first pc and i only connected like 4 power supply cables but all these videos people have a million in the back plate. am i missing something??

[steel umbra]

well, in the absolutely worst case it may kill a component if it's defective but i doubt

[gilded harness]

i have these in my mind and i think o11 might be cool to be an option too

[steel umbra]

pretty much no chance for that to happen

[steel umbra]

yeah that's decent, buy it and put it into your pc, make sure you have enough 6+2 pins

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/hsr-herta-asta-walk-away-walk-gif-13607704391417812923

[sand heron]

what’s wrong with the o11

[daring crystal]

I can't wait for wifi 8 now 😢😢😢

[gilded harness]

its overrated

[daring crystal]

So close yet so far

[gilded harness]

thats why most of people here hate it

[sand heron]

so what

[sand heron]

still looks fire

[gilded harness]

the 6750xt isnt that power hungry i assume, unless you crank up the power setting. you should be fine at least

[sand heron]

5080 in the mail still

[gilded harness]

just dont forget to upgrade your psu later on

[daring crystal]

You're missing the GPU

[sinful cobalt]

pc shop on their way to sell another O11 build with all rgb lianli unifans, RGB cables and the build to be a puny 5600x 4060ti/5060ti 8gb:

[sand heron]

read my message

i said 5080 still in the mail

[frail delta]

The one and only SaintFederal is back

[gilded harness]

i think it has <200w at stock

[sinful cobalt]

it belongs in the mail

[sand heron]

let me guess, you think the 9070xt is the best card in the world?

[daring crystal]

Ye. Deleted my old account. Been peaceful not being in a bunch of discords. Cleaned off my friends list. Now I just sit around hang with my friends. Hop in and out of servers.

[sinful cobalt]

no but i have one

[daring crystal]

GPT 5 sucks

[gilded harness]

nvm i take that back

[sand heron]

can’t talk bad about a 5080 if you own a intel gpu

[frail delta]

Really good at making graphs though

[sinful cobalt]

dude, I cant hear you from down there

[daring crystal]

I actually fell for it until I looked at them again 🤣🤣🤣

I was reading the developer post like right as stream started

And I'm like wait wtf

[gilded harness]

the 5060ti isnt that bad bro 💔

[sinful cobalt]

i specified 8gb

[gilded harness]

yeah?

[daring crystal]

My problem with GPT 5 is. It's so stale and boring. I like to have personal connections with my AI assistants. But it's just so hard when they act like that

[steel umbra]

not interested in ai chatbots until they’re atleast mediocre at for example reading out
stealing without consent from articles and not makng up fairy tales or not too long ago recommending to use glue in pizza or failing at 3rd grade math

[sand heron]

either way a amd rider will find a way to hate on a 50 series card.

[sinful cobalt]

“i dont even know who u are im just hired to pretend”

[sinful cobalt]

can you mic up i cant hear u

[sand heron]

what’s your point

you touch a 5090 and ur just saying every card is bad now

[sinful cobalt]

[sand heron]

nothing is wrong with a 5080

[sinful cobalt]

oh how the turntables

[mint umbra]

5080 doesn't have enough VRAM

Imo

[sinful cobalt]

blud looked down at my 9070xt and “intel gpu” then now he says this LOL

[sand heron]

i never said you used them tho

i said you own it. which is the point.

[sinful cobalt]

then?

[sand heron]

who owns a intel gpu. you wasted money on that

ewaste at its peak

[sinful cobalt]

-said the guy with the typical O11 and unifan spam

[plain fern]

guys thoughts on Acer KA252Q

[sand heron]

and ur point?

[sinful cobalt]

its cheap, functional

[plain fern]

good ips and colours?

[steel umbra]

physically touches rtx pro 6000 (bw) and the whole world feels slow now

[plain fern]

gonna be a huge step from me, coming from 60hz

[sinful cobalt]

you shouldnt rly think about the colours unless its fast ips or oled

as long as its ips it wont suck balls compared to VA and TN

[plain cypress]

Man what the fuck it's just a computer

[daring crystal]

I'm the same guy who bought a humane pin

[steel umbra]

wrong, wrong.

[gilded harness]

Bro married with the computer

[sinful cobalt]

[plain fern]

what what

[plain cypress]

You need help

[daring crystal]

I'm glad your name never changes

[proper gull]

You need therapy

[plain fern]

i just want a answer if the Acer KA252Q is a good first cheap choice

[steel umbra]

his answer/statement didn’t consider content creators that may not care about 60hz or poor pixel response and that manufacturer certainly can mess up calibration of an ips panel

[daring crystal]

Chatgpt got me covered 🗣️🗣️

[plain cypress]

It's a statement and an identifier. It's perfect

[daring crystal]

Especially when LTT was stricter lol

[gilded harness]

as long as the monitor isnt 10 bit colors you shouldnt be too worried about colors

[sinful cobalt]

hes using a cheap acer monitor in the first place in which I wouldnt bother with the specifics

[plain cypress]

What

[proper gull]

Actually nevermind, a lobotomy instead

[gilded harness]

8 bit monitor sucks balls

(im using one and i hate it)

[daring crystal]

When you get 3 different people pinging mod because you couldn't use Google to look something up

[plain cypress]

I wish him a pleasant experience with a concrete wall and sudden deceleration

[steel umbra]

you don’t know his preferences

[sinful cobalt]

in this case since u wanna go on I rest my brain

[livid escarp]

rtx 3050 goat ong

[plain fern]

well, i want something 100+hz monitor, a IPS one, cheap but good for beginners

[gilded harness]

at long as it isnt the 6gb one 💔

[livid escarp]

it is

[gilded harness]

https://tenor.com/view/fc-bayern-bayern-bayern-munich-leon-goretzka-goretzka-gif-21324774

[steel umbra]

dedicated monitor right

which country?

[plain fern]

philippines, and wdym by dedicated monitor

[livid escarp]

I wasn't able to find anything better that was lp without a 6 pin connector

[gilded harness]

oh yeah if you talkin about that

[plain fern]

https://pcx.com.ph/search?type=product&options[unavailable_products]=hide&options[prefix]=last&q=acer

i can only look here, or find here since this is the store I'm buying

i found nvision but they said it's shitty

[gilded harness]

the 3050 6gb used to be an option for me (i had a 250w psu)

[steel umbra]

if you’re not looking at a laptop for example

[plain fern]

yeah, monitor for a PC

[gilded harness]

then whatever brain told me to get a new psu

[livid escarp]

I'm using it for a tv pc alongside an arc a310 for a transcoding/gaming box

[gilded harness]

my intrusive thought keep telling me to get o11

[plain fern]

here's a much specific info of the monitor

[steel umbra]

from which store do you want to ideally purchase, name a few
what’s your budget max in your currency

[gilded harness]

yeah 3050 6gb is uhhhhh

lets say its good for that

[livid escarp]

it does gta v 1080p 60hz lol

[plain fern]

budget 4-5k pesos. 90$ usd, i already sent the link for the store i was gonna buy on. It's pc express

[livid escarp]

60fpsish*

[gilded harness]

awesomeness

[plain fern]

https://pcx.com.ph/products/acer-24-5-ka252q-g0bi-ips-monitor-black?_pos=1&_sid=8a22d1f5c&_ss=r

[sinful cobalt]

so basically what my igpu can almost achieve

[grizzled frost]

dense

[livid escarp]

Yes but an igpu on a 9th gen intel chip is nowhere near as good as a 3050

[gilded harness]

its so peak

i love compact builds

[livid escarp]

I don't have the screw grommet mounts for the hdd so it's kinda just wedged in there lol

[gilded harness]

man i shouldve go with matx/itx motherboard instead of atx

[livid escarp]

It's not going anywhere

[gilded harness]

atx cases are so tall

[sinful cobalt]

go to ITX
formdt1 ftw

[livid escarp]

My main pc is an itx board in a matx case bc I couldn't find an atx case that would fit my gpu

[gilded harness]

farming money rn

[grizzled frost]

tiny case good

[gilded harness]

tiny case awesome

[livid escarp]

The hdd is yoinked from one of those external usb drives bc I lost the power adapter for it

I'd like to find a beefier cpu cooler and maybe 3d print a shroud to function like the original

[plain fern]

@steel umbra i don't really know about the website if it has a review, but i search reddit for infos, so far no bad info abt it

[steel umbra]

i couldn’t quickly find a review for that monitor, i believe this one could be better or atleast you know what you’re buying considering it has proper reviews .ph/msi-pro-mp251-monitor-review/
https://mezha.media/en/reviews/msi-pro-mp251-review-a-budget-monitor-with-a-frequency-of-100-hz/

[sinful cobalt]

iroh when shall we be blessed with titanium restock

[grizzled frost]

when 3fc can get machine time for it

Patience my child, 3fc shall bless us with titanium soon

[steel umbra]

@plain fern https://pcx.com.ph/collections/computer-monitors/products/msi-24-5-mp251-pro-ips-black-monitor

[plain fern]

oooooo alright man thanks so much

[sinful cobalt]

Ill get a titanium then let it sit in the room till 2026

[grizzled frost]

i’d buy another T1 for a nas if i didn’t have a server rack

[gilded harness]

fuck this shit i dont want to lose to my intrusive thought

[sinful cobalt]

Im gonna convert the current CH160 into a nas after I build the T1

[gilded harness]

found another cool case

lian li 217

[plain fern]

@steel umbra i might change my mind, might go to a different store, since that store sells much cheaper LOL, pc parts i mean. Could u help me find a monitor there? https://easypc.com.ph/pages/build-a-pc

[sinful cobalt]

valid

[sinful cobalt]

whats ur budget

in philipino money

[plain fern]

monitor or PC? Monitor 4k-5k, PC 35k

[steel umbra]

i will soon have to go

[plain fern]

awe

[steel umbra]

so, search “model + review” in a browser

[plain fern]

alright thanks will do

here's the pc for anyone curious, first ever

[sinful cobalt]

imo just get a IPS monitor 24” 1080p with as much refresh rate

[plain fern]

there's alot of nvision, viewsonic, gamdia, msi and acer. They say nvision and view sonic sucks ass, like how nvision is endvision

[steel umbra]

make sure the review you’re looking is a proper monitor review, so… how accurate the colors are, how bright the monitor gets, contrast, ideally even black levels but you probably don’t care abt that on a cheap monitor and it’s ok ig if it misses that test, pixel response, etc.

[sinful cobalt]

so avoid those 2 is what ur saying

[plain fern]

maybe, but i want 2nd opinions from people here

[sinful cobalt]

id say viewsonic is fine

[plain fern]

yeah, just saw a reveiw in a cooler master monitor, they said they don't use display port

[steel umbra]

@plain fern example of a bad review - https://www.expertreviews.co.uk/technology/monitors/aoc-24b2xh-review

[sinful cobalt]

its hard to find and go through each one in this pricerange tbh

[steel umbra]

i would have to do it myself

look in servers if the model i’m about to recommend doesn’t have a major flaw like it giving up after few weeks

or literally catch on fire

[plain fern]

damn no height adjustment

[steel umbra]

ye, but if you find similar review without scientific testing and even having irl pictures of the monitor avoid it like a rattlesnake

[plain fern]

https://forum.pcmonitors.info/topic/any-thoughts-on-the-cooler-master-ga271/ oh so like this one

[steel umbra]

i wouldn’t say this forum is a review but information provided by it’s users

some of the links in the forum posts do have proper reviews tho

[plain fern]

ohh alright, might just buy the pc there and the monitor in another store, thanks for your time

[prisma portal]

Could anyone take a look at a pc parts list?
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/superroach/saved/#view=NQwMwP

I'm in aussie land. its a matx 7500f/5070ti build. I've been thinking of going atx, but can't find a silent case I'd like?

[empty quartz]

@steel umbra coffee time :D

[steel umbra]

eat the coffee machine

you’re missing out

i have to go though 💀

[thorny saddle]

unbelievable

[balmy tapir]

yum!

[buoyant bridge]

How many PC components can survive this shit wtf

LOL

[steel umbra]

oh no thermaltake smart

white

[buoyant bridge]

It's been running fine since May 2016

2016* sorry the other one with the thermaltake PSU was may 2014

[steel umbra]

a bit lucky

beware it’s likely a really bad unit

[buoyant bridge]

The smart is a fine psu for hardware of its time (I mean it's been driving dual xeons and 4 HDDs since 2016 that's a little much)
The hardware it's made for doesn't idle to like new stuff does

[buoyant bridge]

it's fine as long as your hardware doesn't support power states

It was designed for broadwell/Haswell which don't they have two states on/off

They fail from tons of state switching which they where never designed for

[empty quartz]

Meow

https://tenor.com/view/fish-gas-station-you-know-what-that-means-gif-1113666392679473186

[buoyant bridge]

Literally any PSU designed prior to like 2015 is like this (the original smart was designed between 2009 and 2011)

[steel umbra]

i wouldn’t use it for anything that’s worth over $10 and under human supervision

[buoyant bridge]

Well it got put in a $5K server build so

And never failed, never had any other hardware fail either

[steel umbra]

wtf

[buoyant bridge]

thermaltake sold it as a server product till 2016

I literally used it because it has the monitor rails the motherboard supports

[steel umbra]

you don’t even know what the psu contains, which odm has built it

[buoyant bridge]

the pre 2016 smart is better I know that because it has a sideband connector

"get a Corsair PSU" they don't make one with a sideband connector

[steel umbra]

“this minecraft lucky block is fine because it hasn’t exploded yet in my face”

[buoyant bridge]

The smart was the best option with a sideband connector for an ATX case when this was built

[buoyant bridge]

Find another PSU with a sideband connector and fits an ATX case

cause the only other company making one back then is even worse (apevia)

[buoyant bridge]

I don't think you realize I have 12 of them running in servers rn

[steel umbra]

not all of their psus are total garbage

[buoyant bridge]

The spirit units with sideband connectors where recalled three times because they where known to catch fire

The smart 600 never got recalled

[steel umbra]

please stop

[buoyant bridge]

no

I'll get rid of them when my army of E5s is nolonger sufficient

[steel umbra]

are they atleast backed by ups?

[buoyant bridge]

yeah duh they're servers

I'll probably start replacing them over the next three years since I don't run psus after the warranty period is up

[steel umbra]

that doesn’t mean anything

[buoyant bridge]

Again find another PSU being manufactured in 2015/2016 with a sideband connector that fits an ATX case

There was two
The smart 600W
And the Apevia Spirit SE 500W

[steel umbra]

i’m saying to replace them now, not in 2016

[buoyant bridge]

how about I don't

I'll replace them when they expire their warranties

[snow bloom]

i’m starting to get pissed off seeing the flip 7 everywhere on tiktok cuz it has a PLASTIC SCREEN no matter how fancy it is, it gets damaged by FINGERNAILS… i get the algorith if you dare to like one video it bombards your fyp with similar videos but still…

it’s extremely glued to the frame, extremely expensive to replace, and the phone is not as repairable as it could be

like everyone ditching the iphone and i’m not mad about that, i’m mad at them all praising the flip 7, don’t get me wrong it’s extremely’ cool!! but the plastic screen will always be a no.

i dont want to HAVE to baby my phone cuz my fingernail can ruin it…

aka i wish foldable phones had some sort of hard glass geometry that lets it bend as if they’re armor plate pieces, stiff when opened but being plates that can move around and shift or even just two slabs shaped in such a way that they don’t stab into the screen below when the phone’s closed

[buoyant bridge]

and it'll probably just be fsp units because they're arguably the best server psus for ATX vases

[steel umbra]

good luck with them once they go sparks if you don’t supply the psus sufficient voltage when they’re loaded

or just go sparks anyways

[buoyant bridge]

issue. I'm on commercial power I have a CT cabinet

[steel umbra]

you’d be surprised where can manufacturers cheap out

[buoyant bridge]

my outlets are literally a consistent 118-121V

That's what all buildings with CT cabinets run

As opposed to the 100-135V of residential connections

[steel umbra]

what about if the outlet isn’t properly plugged in and the voltage jumps 1-120V

[buoyant bridge]

???

How do you "not properly plug in" this

[steel umbra]

user error

[buoyant bridge]

It's a twist lock

The power isn't even connected till the connector is locked in place

[steel umbra]

oh

still the psus can go boom, short themselves and kill your server

without a brownout

[buoyant bridge]

It's been 9 years with it

And that's never happened

[steel umbra]

doesn’t matter

you’re trying your luck

[buoyant bridge]

my desktop has a GF1 2024 In it

[steel umbra]

that’s not even that bad

[buoyant bridge]

it's literally a higher failure rate than the smart 600W

[steel umbra]

aside from occasional explosions when you load it a certain way

[buoyant bridge]

1 in every 28K units vs 1 in every 49K units

[steel umbra]

ce-link

[trim gyro]

TT PSU keeps changing their internals

[steel umbra]

do you mean DOA?

[buoyant bridge]

And 1 in every 49K psus failing isn't a lot

[buoyant bridge]

no the GF1 2024 has nearly double the failures of the smart 600

[steel umbra]

that’s 1 in 49k not working

that does not mean more than 1 in 49k don’t supply dirty power

also, gf1 2024 won’t likely blow up and kill your components unlike a lot of F tier psus

[buoyant bridge]

It's got a sideband connector the server has never had it drop below the 1/10000th the range of voltage it should be in

[steel umbra]

i don’t care, bad psus, bad company, replace them.

[buoyant bridge]

the biggest issue people have of the smart 600W is they don't connect the sideband cable

So their motherboard isn't controlling it

It's a server PSU

Consumer boards don't have sideband ports

[steel umbra]

as i said i don’t care and i don’t know the internals, i can imagine the worst

thermaltake does have bad history

you’re dismissing the fact what you have in your rigs are ticking bombs by saying that you ran them for few years and that they’re fine because they haven’t exploded

did you actually bother measuring them with an oscilloscope?

if they’re not supplying insanely high ripple for example

and degrading your components slowly but surely

faster than they would with a proper psu?

also, i would especially replace them because average internals in an F/E tier psus tend to have components that have lifespan rating of 2-4 years tops or low mbtf

[paper moss]

interested in buying a 32”+ 4k monitor for my dad for work, fine with 60 hz but 120 hz would be nice if possible. he uses macOS and i know macs are really wonky when it comes to display scaling with certain resolutions due to ppi/other things. anyone have any recommendations? my budget is <=$700 preferably

of course 5k would also work but i dont think many companies make 5k monitors at that size

[buoyant bridge]

the warranty is 10 years

it's been 9 years it'll make it 10

[buoyant bridge]

5K 32" is REALLY stupid

[steel umbra]

warranty does not include damage to rest of your system

only to the psu

[steel umbra]

^

[buoyant bridge]

4K 24", 5K 27" and 6K 32" are the same PPI

[buoyant bridge]

I have never had a thermaltake do that under warranty across the maybe 90 I've used over the years

[steel umbra]

^

[buoyant bridge]

okay but like it's fine

I only replace working psus if the warranty is over

[buoyant bridge]

look at a used LG ultra fine tbh

either get a 4K 32" and just bare with the kinda weird scaling or go down to 27"/28" 5K panels

The reason Apple's 2 monitors are 5K 27" and 6K 32" is entirely because of PPI

it's why the 6K Pro Display XDR is arguably better than the 8K Dell UP3218K (and why Dell copied it later on)

[steel umbra]

i don’t think so, btw there can be good psus with not very long warranty

also, warranty does not tell you whole a lot when evga for example gave lifetime wareanty on gpus at some point

[limber nacelle]

what kind of work?

[buoyant bridge]

I've had plenty of psus fail out of warranty but only one fail in warranty which was a seasonic prime

I buy whatever is well recommended WHEN I BUILD THE SYSTEM and it works fine because I use current hardware which would have been reviewed along side that PSU

My EXACT fucking motherboard in one of my systems with a smart 600W was used in several of the good reviews for it

And ironically the only time I didn't do this (putting a seasonic prime TX-1500 into a ancient Dell optiplex temporarily) PSU went boom

[trim gyro]

this is kind of amazing

ddr5-7000 cl32 9.143ns first word latency

[steel umbra]

uhh, you can do that on a hynix kit + non garbage motherboard

[trim gyro]

yeah but for $115

[steel umbra]

2x16gb hynix kits start at $90

[trim gyro]

I wonder if it can do 6000 cl26

28 is almost certain

[steel umbra]

for $115 you can almost get a 2x24gb micron D kit

[steel umbra]

depends on the motherboard and your tuning skills

[halcyon relic]

[trim gyro]

I think it depends on the IC

maybe it's A-die

a very good one too

[buoyant bridge]

[halcyon relic]

yeah

[buoyant bridge]

I haven't even seen a lidded 4677 chip lol

First time seeing one was a delided one wild

I think you can fully do be on Linux it's just well you ain't getting a lot of support

[hexed sage]

Main game i play is blade and sorcery thats why i ask

[hexed sage]

Even with steamVR?

[tidal geyser]

You could throw another boot drive in the pc and try Linux

guys msi or gigabyte motherboard

[gilded harness]

either works

i love gigabyte tho

[steel umbra]

neither, model is better.

[steel umbra]

what happened

[patent terrace]

My GPU completely died

[rigid fjord]

specific models?

[steel umbra]

yeah just annoy their customer support until they budge and give you replacement if you still have warranty and you didn’t cause the damage yourself

[patent terrace]

Yep under a year old

[steel umbra]

contact their customer again and again

[patent terrace]

Graphical issues and crashes and black screen with mobo giving me I don't see the VGA

[plain fern]

b550

[steel umbra]

that you’re in right

[rigid fjord]

that's just a chipset, not a model

[patent terrace]

I just contacted the wrong one probably the advances rma support its only for servers lmao

[plain fern]

well which brand is better for b550

[steel umbra]

oh, but in general if a company rejects your warranty you should repeatedly ask or bring up the law

[true stirrup]

You need to specify the specific model

There are multiple b550 from both companies

[quick stag]

Guys I finally made the switch and I’m so happy I did

[steel umbra]

@patent terrace just don’t give up and they should eventually issue you a replacement

[drowsy wind]

What did u have before

[quick stag]

Google pixel 6A

[drowsy wind]

Cool

[patent terrace]

I contacted the via phone a human answered and told me to contact amazon since its just 8 months

[steel umbra]

amazon aint gonna do anything

you’ll get sent back and forth

[patent terrace]

They told me they can't do anything under cuz its less than 2 years

[steel umbra]

lies

[leaden grotto]

is lenovo a good laptop brand to buy?

[tidal geyser]

Kill me

[solar moat]

some of them are very nice and robust

[steel umbra]

unless you live in eu amazon doesn’t typically do warranties on gpu for you, gotta rma it through the manufacturer

[solar moat]

some of them a pile of crap

[tidal geyser]

Others not

[leaden grotto]

oh damn

[tidal geyser]

Never ever buy on brand

[leaden grotto]

is this a good buy then?

[steel umbra]

@patent terrace i would suggest reading and bringing your consumer rights on the case

you 100% do have right to ask them for a replacement without getting redirected to amazon

[tidal geyser]

Specs?

[leaden grotto]

not top of the line but should work for school

[tidal geyser]

Now that are some sexy specs

[steel umbra]

@patent terrace contact amazon only to pressure asus on your behalf if you somehow manage to do that, don’t ask them to conpensate you because it’s unlikely, unless the card is refurb

asus is simply wasting your time

also, trying to breach consumer rights

they shouldn’t be asking you to pay shipping as well i think

a label would be provided

[patent terrace]

I won

I got full refund of my 820 bucks i can even upgrade

[steel umbra]

ez

wait, they don’t want you to send the card to them?

the brokey one

[patent terrace]

Amazon just want it as soon as they get it i get the money back

[steel umbra]

oh

[patent terrace]

Amazon support guy was so chill and literally said i gotchu

[rigid fjord]

legion 5 > yoga 7 tbh

[steel umbra]

i didn’t expect that

[patent terrace]

Amazon EU

[steel umbra]

oh

[steel umbra]

amazon is responsible then

in the us you would have to send it to asus

[patent terrace]

Asus were disgusted about my call

[rigid fjord]

amazon customer support be like that

[patent terrace]

But from amazon italy is there an upgrade i can do instead of my old 7900xt that died?

[rigid fjord]

if you want a newer gen, then a 9070 xt

[leaden grotto]

you're kinda comparing apples and oranges?

[steel umbra]

i thought they weren’t paid enough to be that kind 😂

but well, eu for you

[leaden grotto]

one is lighter, superior in battery life, smaller form factor
one is heavier, better performance, worse in battery life, bigger form factor

[patent terrace]

Yeah bro was oh shit that sucks anyway sent you the currier when he get it you'll get full refund

[boreal vine]

I need opinions

[rigid fjord]

same brand, different model, plus there's the fact of some upgradability on a legion 5 which you don't get on a yoga 7

[steel umbra]

normal procedure for eu countries

[boreal vine]

4k 180hz UW curved or 1440p 240hz

[leaden grotto]

they are designed for different usage? one is gaming laptop, while one is a productivity laptop

[abstract wigeon]

im so close to buying the 9070xt 🤞

got all the money now i just gotta sell my 3070

[rigid fjord]

the legion 5 makes a good rendering laptop for production work tbh

[steel umbra]

oh, he sent the courrier to you?

you don’t have to ship it to them?

[leaden grotto]

yeah but not everyone needs a rendering laptop to do productivity work

[patent terrace]

Nope

[steel umbra]

10/10

[leaden grotto]

productivity work can be as simple as excel (for my use case, it's programming)

[rigid fjord]

also, if bought with an amd cpu inside, generally better battery life till the latest intel mobile cpu's

[boreal vine]

Essentially these two monitors against each other:

https://rog.asus.com/uk/monitors/above-34-inches/rog-strix-xg349c-model/

https://www.gigabyte.com/Monitor/AORUS-FI27Q-X

I already have both on hand just deciding which one to make my main monitor

[leaden grotto]

it would still be worse than a productivity laptop due to an existence of a dgpu

and if u turn off the dgpu, then ur just carrying a useless brick around

[steel umbra]

if you’d live in the us, asus would probably try to redirect you few more time to amazon even if you’d say that amazon said rma’s are done through the manufacturer

[rigid fjord]

the 34" as the main display

[steel umbra]

i already sued you for this threatening message

Depends on the bank account

If I were to be in that position I'd open a checking account in some tax haven places

Like, sorry. I'd literally avoid taxes when I can. I abuse my dependents to lower my tax rate.

[leaden grotto]

so was this a good buy?

[rigid fjord]

only if you don't share it 😉

[stray cairn]

Its not tax evasion. Its avoidance where you try to put everyhthing as expense so it lowers your tax bracket.

[steel umbra]

not again-

i don't trust you either

what about those that came back with ptsd and such instead?

[steel umbra]

what if he fell off stairs trying to run away from incoming front and lost a limb

is it not worth oc/uv with a 9070xt? this video shows only about 3% more frames and the same tempuratures which is suprising cus with my 3070 i got about 9% more performance with 11c cooler temps

stock 9070 xt is fine just enjoy

[serene pumice]

Hmm, apparently they changed it in newer Windows versions, like Windows Vista+. In Windows XP, and earlier versions, Ctrl+Alt+Delete would directly open Task Manager, as it should.

[kindred halo]

Thorium my beloved

[sleek ibex]

[kindred halo]

Good, for?

[latent pasture]

surely mans did not just call a 20yr old version of windows as the "newer versions"

[rigid fjord]

thing is, the performance gains you get on that 3070 is due to asset culling all the time, it should have never been released with 8gb vram, and a 9070xt would have more performance over that, and with greater vram to boot

[ebon prawn]

Note taking in uni, maybe a Lil gaming

But for 650 cad there was rlly nothing else

[latent pasture]

that just means thats as far as they got with that specific gpu
u could get more, or less

[tidal geyser]

You do know the 3070 is 5 years old?

[latent pasture]

wat does age have to do with it

[tidal geyser]

What

Time

[rigid fjord]

in earlier versions it brought up a menu which you could choose task manager or other options

[tidal geyser]

With everything from cpu to GPU the older it is the more a OC can do

Now a days it's already factory OCed or just locked down to the point its hard to get a significant amount of performance.

[latent pasture]

simple search has other people getting up to 10% perf out of their 9070 xt

[sleek ibex]

In ye ol' MS-DOS days, CTRL+ALT+DEL was a combo that had the system reboot

[latent pasture]

which is again, what i literally said that it depends per device

[glass perch]

i hope sim isnt here rn

its been 3 minutes

[abstract wigeon]

oh interesting, thank you

[latent pasture]

its just silicon lottery

the guy they sent got a gpu that could only do 3% better than stock

other people got luckier

[kindred halo]

The iGPU in this is close (or equal, don't really remember) to a 1650 desktop, so gaming is pretty feasible

[tidal geyser]

Gaming is possible on a 30 year old igpu

[ebon prawn]

Yeah

Ill prob end up remoting to my 9950x3d desktop for Sims and stuff

[tidal geyser]

But yes about 1650 but way more efficient, should be able to get decent fps in games like fortnite, sea of thives and such

[ebon prawn]

Yep

[patent terrace]

If I find a 7900xtx at 820 is it worth? Since yall told me to get a 5070 ti for 800

[tidal geyser]

Not even close

The xtx was so good 3 years ago

[latent pasture]

if ur ok with high power consumption

[tidal geyser]

The 9070 XT nowadays is just better

[kindred halo]

iirc it can take upto 8GB of RAM to use as VRAM?

[latent pasture]

actually its not that bad if u stick to default tdp
5070tis r like 350w while 5070tis do 300-320w depending on model

[kindred halo]

Or just 6?

[solar moat]

very vad

[patent terrace]

Trying to understand the best value i can get

[latent pasture]

you choose in bios
if its not set (or no setting in bios), itll take up to half of whatever the systems ram is

[tidal geyser]

Well it can take up to half system ram so if 128GB it would mean 64GB VRAM

[kindred halo]

Oh okay

So.. A default, decent amount would probably be 6GB for a 16gb system

[tidal geyser]

Someone can't do math

[solar moat]

ITS SLOW AF

[kindred halo]

Someone doesn't have reading comprehension

[tidal geyser]

Yes you

[patent terrace]

Yeah I saw some benchmarks and 5070ti was a lil behind so I got skeptical so ill watch 9070 vs 5070 ti now

[kindred halo]

Setting 6GB of RAM to be used as VRAM in a 16GB RAM system

Leaving 10GB to be normal RAM

[tidal geyser]

By default it's half

Also it's not locked only into vram

[solar moat]

shared memory is way way way slower

[tidal geyser]

Gddr

[kindred halo]

Well, it's an iGPU, can't really do much else

[latent pasture]

just set it to as low as possible if it needs more, itll just take ur ram
if you "reserve" ram (like the 6 out of 16 u mentioned)
your system will lock that ram and have only 10gb usable (like if u view task manager) bc it reserves that ram as vram
there is no upside to this, if u set it to the lowest amount itll just take more as it needs while having as much ram for the rest of ur system possible

[tidal geyser]

There is a reason ram is soldered now a days

[tidal geyser]

A igpu can be 4060 level

[kindred halo]

O h
I thought it just meant that it's SET to ONLY use 6GB when needed, and whatever isn't in use can be funneled into standard RAM config

Yeah I think putting 1GB and leaving it to take what it needs when needed works

[tidal geyser]

By default the igpu is allowed to use up to 50% of system ram

Just set it to auto

[kindred halo]

I know
I thought that setting an amount manually would just change the use limit, and not lock it from system use

This is a dumb argument, I just misunderstood stuff

[kindred halo]

(Thanks for the full explanation BTW)
Your status,,, reminds me of WT,,

[latent pasture]

this is on 5600g but the same thing happens on laptops
16gb ram but they gave the igpu 4gb so it only allows 12gb for the rest

[tidal geyser]

They set that in the bios

By default memory is fully shared

[sleek ibex]

I get off work in less than half an hour

[limpid ivy]

[tidal geyser]

So you will see 16GB but ram usage will ofc be higher then I'd you had vram

[kindred halo]

Yeah I think it's best to just keep it on the default 50/50 with the iGPU 50% only being used when needed

Aka, the default that's given by the system

Although personally I'll do 15/1

[limpid ivy]

Lol and I’m about to go to bed . I really gotta fix my sleep but it’s already bad so whatever.

[kindred halo]

The system can manage itself on 1GB, 15 more Gigabytes to the Graphics Processing Unit

[patent terrace]

I watched some benchmark 9070 xt got raw power but 5070 ti got DLSS and better RT handling and better drivers?

Yep probably I've been away from Nvidia for a while

Oh wait I can get a 9070 for 670

[kindred halo]

Secret two generations ahead 7090

[compact spear]

Got a custom boot screen on my Thinkpad

Looks nice eh

[kindred halo]

5070 Ti is?

[patent terrace]

Above 810

[kindred halo]

How,,,,,

[kindred halo]

Yeah just buy the 9070 XT

[compact spear]

Bios flash

[kindred halo]

Oh okay

[tidal geyser]

Joking about the kast part?

[patent terrace]

That's what I heard not a piece of info I know personally

[tidal geyser]

Upscaling, frame gen and rt are yes all better on the Nvidia but drivers, who the fuck is making up bullshit

[tidal geyser]

Heard from who

[patent terrace]

I dunno i just heard something like that that's why I put the question marks

[tidal geyser]

This is why AMD keeps getting such a bad wrap

[patent terrace]

I mean I had only amd since 2017

[sleek ibex]

It gives me a good excuse for eating a burger at IHOP at 6 AM

[tidal geyser]

Had a xtx for 2 years now, no issues

[patent terrace]

Same just some initial driver problems but it was something of windows 11

Still its 640 against 820 what's the best value

[latent pasture]

how much do u value rt and cuda

[patent terrace]

RT more than Cuda cuz last card I had it was 1060ti

[latent pasture]

or actually heres an easier question
how many hrs of work does it take u to earn the difference between the gpus

[patent terrace]

What do you mean? Sorry i didnt sleep at all my brain isn't working that well

[wheat torrent]

Hi chat

Idk what to choose

the top one is b840 chipset 🤔 so better ram speeds?

[latent pasture]

the b650

[wheat torrent]

but it has one less m2 slot

[latent pasture]

lol b840 is the bottom end chipset of 800 series
what wouldve been a320 a520 a620 and supposed to be a820
amd renamed it for no reason other than to trick people into thinking its not low end

[wheat torrent]

I initially was going for the b650 but I saw this other one at the same price so IDK what to do now

[wheat torrent]

oh

I thought bigger number = better 💀

[latent pasture]

the b650 has the same or more of everything

and it can overclock/pbo/uv unlike b840

[wheat torrent]

there is this b850

but idk if it is worth the extra ?

it has pcle 5 but that doesnt matter apparently

[trim gyro]

it matters if you plan on getting something better than a 4090

[wheat torrent]

and it only has 1gigabit lan 🤷‍♂️

[wheat torrent]

I plan to get a 5070 ti super now once it releases

then in 2027-2028 when amd releases their last CPUs for am5, I plan to get the best they offer

Do I just go with the GIGABYTE B650 GAMING X AX V2?
That's the one that catched my eye as it has pretty much everything I would need

[rigid fjord]

hehehe

fuck you microshit

[wheat torrent]

for me a usb c port is a must, whatever didnt have a usb c port I didnt look at it

[boreal vine]

I need to buy a power bank

[rigid fjord]

anker has a couple really decent ones

[wheat torrent]

fair enough

[wheat torrent]

so I should just go with the b650?

[rigid fjord]

@boreal vine you want it with PD or not?

[trim gyro]

I hope it can do power delivery

[wheat torrent]

I got a 30000 mAh powerbank

I am surprised how it can charge in like one hour

then charge multiple devices and not run out

seems like dark magic

[rigid fjord]

does it have PD?

[trim gyro]

30k is a lot woah

[wheat torrent]

pd 65w

I got it for my laptop while I was in university

[wheat torrent]

111 Wh

my laptop is 75 Wh

[tidal geyser]

cant be on a plane

[wheat torrent]

I never was on a plane

[tidal geyser]

nice

[wheat torrent]

the only complaint

is that it's a literal brick

[trim gyro]

is it one of those ugreen ones

it was relatively cheap, the only option out here

idk why the link shows as 20000mah

[boreal vine]

needs pd 2 atleast, going to power a soldering iron

ts80p

[wheat torrent]

electricity striaght to a metal rod

🔥

[rigid fjord]

then tbh, the ugreen ones i linked should be more likely

[wheat torrent]

165w is crazy

how fast would that charge a 20000mah

[rigid fjord]

200w is more crazier

bollocks

[boreal vine]

Woops don't want to dox my friend

https://www.belkin.com/p/3-port-laptop-power-bank-20k/P-BPB020.html?bvstate=pg:4/ct:r @rigid fjord

I think about this alot

[rigid fjord]

that's available on amazon tbf

[steel umbra]

it’s going to run through the power bank in no time

[rigid fjord]

ffs

[boreal vine]

me when no shipping

[rigid fjord]

me when isle of man is part of the british isles but not part of britain

[jaunty apex]

I love ai. PD is 240w but pd2 is 100w

[rigid fjord]

RoW will never understand this bit

[jaunty apex]

🙃

[tidal geyser]

PD 3

[jaunty apex]

I specifically put "pd1"

[tidal geyser]

PD3.1 is for 240w

[steel umbra]

@tidal geyser

[tidal geyser]

Announced in 2021, the USB PD Revision 3.1 specification is a major update to enable delivering up to 240W of power over full featured USB Type-C® cable and connector. Prior to this update, USB PD was limited to 100W using a solution based on 20V using USB Type-C cables rated at 5A. The USB Type-C specification has also been updated to Release 2.1 to define 240W cable requirements, and with the updated USB PD protocol and power supply definition, this extends the applicability of USB power delivery to a large number of applications where 100W wasn't adequate.

few hours ago

[tidal geyser]

48v is fun

[steel umbra]

why not 480v

!!! first pc built with no big complications!

[tidal geyser]

high voltage

[steel umbra]

4800v

[tidal geyser]

yes its a AIO?

also clean up those cables

[tired mirage]

ya, arctic iii 360 pro

[jaunty apex]

Whatever engineer who decided 3.1 was double the spec of 3.0, I wish upon you wingding font when you are coding

[steel umbra]

looks good

sim what do you think of the gemini responses

[tired mirage]

took me like 8-10 hours but its okeh

[tidal geyser]

not good

[random gyro]

is 16gb 6000MHz better than 32gb 4800MHz for gaming?

[latent pasture]

no

[tidal geyser]

you cant afford 80$?

[latent pasture]

the perf impact of fast ram is mostly visible if u have like rtx 4090 on 1080p
meanwhile the effect of running out of ram is straight shit

[steel umbra]

don’t buy 2x8gb ddr5

[tidal geyser]

8GB ddr5 sticks are a mistake

[latent pasture]

if you absolutely have to choose and your family will be murdered if u didnt, the 32gb is better
but why r those the only choices in the first place
i suspect bad budgeting

[steel umbra]

atleast 2x16 or 2x24

[tidal geyser]

only corsair

[static gulch]

agreed, as a person who opens 10 chrome tabs at once on 16 gigs the display can start lagging

[jaunty apex]

Is it still a thing where 2 sticks are still better than 4 on current platforms

[tidal geyser]

silicon power is totally so bad and its not like corsair uses the same chips

or silicon power is not a name brand so it means they have to be bad

[random gyro]

its more of a theoretical question. ive seen both being sold for 40€ on used market

[tidal geyser]

just get 6000MT

[jaunty apex]

If it doesn't say SK Hynix or Samsung what actually is it

[tidal geyser]

micron

[jaunty apex]

Nothing, exactly

[static gulch]

what about team group

[rigid fjord]

on ddr5, specifically, yes

[tidal geyser]

cheapest 6000MT 2x16

[static gulch]

so team group is good?

[tidal geyser]

what does the brand have to do with it?

well if you are buying it, yea team group sells a lot of products

it will just be a few billions

[trim gyro]

teamgroup has some good ones

[static gulch]

no like what chips do they use

[tidal geyser]

everything

[static gulch]

i take that all ram chips will be the same to the average user?

[tidal geyser]

yea

well not speed

but if ya wanna know, hynix is best

aint this how a like 2hr argument ending in a crazy person getting banned started

[static gulch]

i’m js asking

[tidal geyser]

nono i know

you have not started sayinga reflow machine programms RAM ICs

i was just remembering something funny

[static gulch]

tf are those

[tidal geyser]

reflow machine heats up solder

[static gulch]

ah, ok

do you know about kingston ram btw

[leaden grotto]

yo chat is this a good buy?

[trim gyro]

yoga...

[tidal geyser]

how many more times will you post this today

[leaden grotto]

i wanna know if it's a good buy or not bro

[trim gyro]

I heard the cooling solution on the yoga isn't good

[leaden grotto]

ahh damn ok

[true stirrup]

For an average user yes
For someone who overclocks you want a Hynix die on DDR5

[leaden grotto]

oh didnt see ur message

[trim gyro]

the older models couldn't run at stock settings without thermal throttling

[leaden grotto]

f

[tidal geyser]

aint that what almost all laptops do?

[trim gyro]

if you disable boosting so that it runs at the base clock, then it didn't throttle

[tidal geyser]

why not just use XTU to lower the max power limit aka you can boost without overheating

[trim gyro]

but that's like 2.7 or 2.9 ghz

[tidal geyser]

how old is that

[trim gyro]

11th gen

so a good 3 or 4 years old

[tidal geyser]

no e cores even

[sinful cobalt]

i rmb some sch laptop’s 155H was only at like 2.x ghz

[tidal geyser]

the 255h is VERY different

155h was meator lake

[trim gyro]

yes, but do the newer yoga have better cooling

[tidal geyser]

255h is arrow lake

[tidal geyser]

i would imagine in 5 years yea

but i think the most advanced thing he is going to be doing is word

[sinful cobalt]

their arrow was very accurate in whiffing

[tidal geyser]

what was the most advanced thing you are gonna be doing

[sinful cobalt]

no wonder its a lake of arrows

[tidal geyser]

arrow lake for anything but gaming is insane

[static gulch]

i hate HP ngl

[trim gyro]

good

boycott HP

[latent pasture]

why
they a brand like any other

[tidal geyser]

HEY IM GETTING A HP

[latent pasture]

u cant name a bad thing they did that all other brands havent done

therefore hate all brands

[leaden grotto]

coding

[tidal geyser]

look at it

[static gulch]

i have their victus line
and it’s good
BUT i have a singular gripe

only 1 SSD slot when they CLEARLY have a spot for another

[tidal geyser]

that thing is going to compile in seconds

[latent pasture]

other victuses (victi?) have 2 so u got a worse variant

[tidal geyser]

16 cores xd

[static gulch]

that’s the 16 inch
needed a 15 inch to bring to work because yes

[leaden grotto]

nice

[tidal geyser]

what have you been using

[tired mirage]

bro i have the same laptop yet it's literally not able to do "yoga"

it goes to 180 and stops there

[tidal geyser]

that aint the yoga

[tired mirage]

💀💀💀

[tidal geyser]

its a 2 in 1

its a tablet laptop

[leaden grotto]

ye there's yoga 2in1 and normal yoga, lenovo dilluted the model

[tidal geyser]

guess how much this cost me, hint ryzen 7 and 512GB storage

[static gulch]

1500 dollars

[tidal geyser]

not even close

[tidal geyser]

hint 2 look at the 2nd pic

[latent pasture]

smh thats accurate
its yoga not contortia

[static gulch]

500 dollars

[tidal geyser]

not even close

[static gulch]

ltt screwdriver price

[tidal geyser]

ngl might cost more for me

it was 100$

[inner veldt]

Got new 12v2x6 custom cable but one of its cable looks like this, should I avoid using it?

It feels not bendable there as much as other parts of cabl

[static gulch]

then don’t bend there

[tidal geyser]

ok nice the LTT screwdriver is cheaper

[tidal geyser]

its fine

also its the connector ends that is the main issue

[latent pasture]

question whyd u have a singular cable

[tidal geyser]

the cables are still shit

[tidal geyser]

one of the many

but 16 pin is so dumb

[tidal geyser]

its a 16 pin either its gonna burn or its not

[static gulch]

no in between

[ashen zephyr]

Which cable do i plug in where? do i plug in both the cpu fans? they both have 4 holes but on the splitter it only has 1 (4 holes) and 1 ( 3 holes)

[tidal geyser]

use your brain

[bright nest]

that one.. it had 4 hole small

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/children-toy-clever-gif-6235837

[inner veldt]

Yeah gotcha, I just wondered it feels a bit folded but not broken

[tidal geyser]

broken how?

unless its a fiber cable you aint gonna feel anything broken

[ashen zephyr]

yeah my bad sir thats why im asking haha 😅

[tidal geyser]

you literally cant plug it in wrong

[static gulch]

i’m ngl the HP victus 15” ryzen 7 8845hs and 4060 combo has to be one of the best value gaming laptops out there

[inner veldt]

Plug

[static gulch]

right angle?

[bright nest]

is that motherboard plug?

[inner veldt]

Good morning

@donaldtrump

@fbi @cia @mi6

[leaden grotto]

can it do light gaming btw?

[tidal geyser]

easily

70 fps

95+ fps

[leaden grotto]

damn wtf

[tidal geyser]

this is with shitty ram

[leaden grotto]

cyberpunk on an igpu?

[tidal geyser]

yea?

[leaden grotto]

thats crazy

i thought i needed a dgpu to play cyberpunk

[tidal geyser]

spiderman low 1080p no frame gen is about 50 fps

[leaden grotto]

i thought like i could probably only play like minecraft on it

[tidal geyser]

i am able to play minecraft on my pi 2

[leaden grotto]

lol

[tidal geyser]

super old version tho 🙁

but remember again those fps numbers are NOT soldered ram, with soldered ram you are going to see a MASSIVE jump in performance

also intel just got a massive boost to frame gen i think it was
