[gloomy sleet]

disagree

div1 best game ever made

[junior bay]

you meant to type warframe

[kindred halo]

My case simply has a button that changes the light on it lol

Connects to a SATA power port

ARGB header? Never heard of her

[azure topaz]

that’s still argb. you might even be able to hook it up to your board if it has the right connectors

[jagged perch]

I could make a pretty good steam console for my tv for about $1600

Not too bad, probably can shave off more on the cpu

[azure topaz]

steam console is just a computer

[jagged perch]

By that logic everything is a computer

[azure topaz]

..no?

[jagged perch]

This is an all AMD build for SteamOS/Bazzite, designed for the TV gaming experience

[azure topaz]

youre literally building a computer.

it’s just a computer.

don’t be pretentious

okay that was mean but your correction made me mad

[jagged perch]

Not really my problem. What I'm building is a small SteamOS machine to sit by the TV. The only way that isn't a console is that all the parts weren't custom for it and it's probably gunna be bigger than the average console.

I am building it to do the console thing

[azure topaz]

brother

i don’t care what it does it’s still a computer you built 😭

at the end of the day it can do anything a computer does

[left dove]

^

[azure topaz]

a console is locked to its one function

a computer is not

[lethal moth]

Gotten this far and im confused as fuck

[azure topaz]

we already said they’re not the same

one of them is argb one of them is a fan connector

argb should not interact with a fan header

and what are you confused about?

ig that should’ve been first but whayever

[jagged perch]

man, remind me not to mess with the semantics police

[azure topaz]

YOU.

You are the semantics police.

you’re trying to say it’s a console because it’s small and it runs steam

[hallow jasper]

[lethal moth]

No i mean these are the cables i have left without using my adapter yet
I have daist chaned them together just not sure how to connect it to the pc

[jagged perch]

What a hill to die on, why not just be happy that I'm having fun making a little machine to play games

[azure topaz]

oh, one goes to cpu_fan

the other goes to whatever your vendor decided to name ARGB

[hallow jasper]

Fan 3 connects to Fan 2, Fan 2 connects to Fan 1, Fan 1 connects to the PC.. in a chain

[jagged perch]

What a neat idea, I hope you enjoy that, etc, the way people often talk to one another instead of "um acshually"-ing everything

[lethal moth]

Ah so i can just connect it like that no need to use the adapter

[azure topaz]

lemme see your layout

[raw whale]

is a 5060ti supposed to be 1.5kg with box? cause i read online said 500g for the gpu i doubt the box is 1kg

[viral stump]

yooo

[azure topaz]

confusing cause words are hard

[viral stump]

accessories?

[raw whale]

idfk if theres any accessories

i bought a gpu

[azure topaz]

fan splitter into board, cpu fans into splitter, connect argb together, plug final one into argb

[raw whale]

its an asus dual if it helps

[viral stump]

not sure either lol, i dont have the money for that kinda gpu lol

[left dove]

um ackshually its not a console

let it die dude

[jagged perch]

Not the point.

[viral stump]

just bought a 3060 🥲 and amd ryzen 7 smth, upgrading from a GTX 1650 and Amd Ryzen 3

[raw whale]

ok so i didnt read but i also got a TR, we plug the 2 fans into the Y thingy and then the "exit" for splitter goes into mobo?^

[viral stump]

excited to get the parts

[raw whale]

exit would be the solo cable

[jagged perch]

I know it's not literally a console, but why does it matter so much that I am making what would serve as a console for me

[left dove]

That's the joke you dense-headed cucumber

[lethal moth]

Okay so one spins up, both have lights

[jagged perch]

I'm literally autistic, so dense headed is about right

[viral stump]

im just stupid.

[left dove]

So am I, and 90% of the people in this server are guaranteed autistic, too

[azure topaz]

ends of the splitter to cpu fans

[jagged perch]

Judging by the semantics whoring I'd say so

[azure topaz]

then plug the 4 pin into the board

[ebon prawn]

Not bad for 650 cad

[azure topaz]

so if we’re being asshats

[jagged perch]

We are

[lethal moth]

Thats what i assumed but i cant find the 4 pin connector to connect into the splitter

[azure topaz]

hm?

[left dove]

Anyways who cares about what you're whining about anymore this water is fucking delicious

[azure topaz]

4 pin fan goes into the 3 pin headers that come off the splitter

[azure topaz]

someone is hurt over their computer not being a console

noticed how i stopped talking about it and moved on?

notice how you just kept going and didn’t provide anything of value?

that is all

[viral stump]

lol

[left dove]

Notice how cats are objectively better than dogs?

Oh man have you noticed that eggs are better than bacon

[azure topaz]

i only moderately agree because i’m pretty specific about what dogs i like

[viral stump]

Notice how objectively wrong you are?

[azure topaz]

like i like dogs more but i only like massive dogs

[viral stump]

i dont want smoll rat dogs

[left dove]

kinda same, I can't stand yippy limbed footballs

[azure topaz]

i need another set of dogs that weigh as much as me

[viral stump]

i want golden retriever or border collie

OR LABARADOR

[distant frigate]

YOO WHAT

[left dove]

I'm just happy w/ my cats

[azure topaz]

miss my german shepard mastiff

[distant frigate]

This is brand new

[azure topaz]

fire

[lethal moth]

These are all i have left on the fans

Vs the splitter

[left dove]

what

[viral stump]

i have a cat and shes an ahhh

[viral stump]

YOO WHAT

[tidal geyser]

Look at how thin this heatpipe is

[azure topaz]

yes bro

the 4 pin fans go into the splitter

[austere crypt]

Is he a pedo

[tidal geyser]

Dusty

[azure topaz]

the one with 4pins and 3pin connectors coming off of it

[tidal geyser]

Floppy me no can replace de.ram in dis lptop

Day sad

[distant frigate]

That was this

It’s pretty sad tbh

[tidal geyser]

Why did you search that

[viral stump]

in the middle of august

wait why tf u on ipad

[lethal moth]

How much force do these need to go together

It might be because im just dyspraxic lmao

[azure topaz]

no

youre not reading completely

the 4 pin fan connector goes into the bottom one

the top connector in that photo is argb

[lethal moth]

Oh i see

[azure topaz]

literally dont fucking pick it up until youre done with the fans

[tidal geyser]

The repair shop somehow broke the button

[azure topaz]

seriously. that connector is currently useless

[gloomy sleet]

average repair shop

half the ones in my area dont own a soldering iron

[lethal moth]

I connected the fan argb male and female

[distant frigate]

Damn so GoNetSpeed offers 2 gigabit symmetrical internet for $64 a month

No data cap. $100 gift card

[azure topaz]

expert drawing i know

and we are using only the 4 pin and the splitter

the argb connectors with only 3 holes are not in use here

[tidal geyser]

You should become a painter

[azure topaz]

thank you i know

red is the 4 pin pwm connectors, yellow is argb

you will have an extra connection that is expected

[lethal moth]

Hooray

[azure topaz]

(green is the splitter and the board, rocket science i know)

[left dove]

square pin go square hole
round pin go round hole

[azure topaz]

okie now youve got it

top connector goes to CPU_FAN bottom one goes to whatever argb is named

i would plug the ends in after you put the fans back on the CPU cooler

[raw whale]

so red is splitter and we put fan headers into it and then splitter into mobo thats it (i dont have rgb)

and ive got the thermalright digital do i need some cable for screen

[azure topaz]

if youre in the exact same situation as the other guy somehow, yes

[raw whale]

same cooler i think

[azure topaz]

youll have to show me the cable for the screen

[raw whale]

or very similar

[raw whale]

ill show ya tomorrow since im still missing case

[solemn rover]

Its a pretty stupid to key the connectors the same though. For sure looks like they can fit together if you dont know better

[azure topaz]

okie

[lethal moth]

Hooray i did it all by myself

[azure topaz]

yippie

[lethal moth]

I said this earlier but it got removed, pretend im using all caps
Oh my god im such a fucking dumbass

[azure topaz]

sob

[left dove]

It's a mix of humans losing common sense & problem solving as well as manufacturers being stupid

[solemn rover]

Luckily there is a solution to this problem

[tired tiger]

Any good tb4 dock to buy? Or usb-c

[azure topaz]

there may be one

[tired tiger]

my current choice is 200 eur (the lenovo universal) but I was thinking maybe I can get something cheaper

should have good support on linux

[azure topaz]

we dont know what you need it for

what ports are in your ideal dock

a dock can mean a LOT of things

[keen saddle]

connected the new psu fully and it turned on perfectly straight away no need to fiddle with it😖😭🥹

[viral stump]

i love looking at stuff i dont understand

[tired tiger]

2 or even 3 dp/hdmi ports

[solemn rover]

I would have a look at the Lenovo ones on the used market. Picked up a TB3 one for 30 euros locally

[tired tiger]

also should do at minium 90w of charging

[azure topaz]

damn yo

[solemn rover]

Had to source the TB3 cable myself though, which was easily solved on aliexpress

[tired tiger]

the thing is here I had bad issues with the used market :(

[azure topaz]

hows this?

has a 180w adaptor apparently idk if thats mandatory

judging by this photo i cant tell

[solemn rover]

There is for sure some risk involved, but in the long term you should come out way ahead

The Dell dockings have a somewhat bad reputation and some only work with Dell laptops, not sure about the recent ones

[lethal moth]

Rate the cable management

[azure topaz]

100/0

thunderbolt docks are more complicated than ram overclocking

[tired tiger]

I want to avoid that type of things

found on the used market only some noname / rebrands

[azure topaz]

https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-USB-C-Dual-Display-Travel/dp/B0D2JH1RWR/

this one looks sleek af, but only 65w peak

[tired tiger]

and a couple lenovo but seem like they are tailored to their specific models (aka again non standard pd like dell)

[lethal moth]

Just closed my case before testing it works why did i do that

[solemn rover]

This is a good read
https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/wiki/newdocks/

[azure topaz]

at work we use plugable docks

[tired tiger]

not available on amazon.de :(

[true stirrup]

you could have rotated the fan so the cable is coming from the top side of the cooler

[tired tiger]

https://dancharblog.wordpress.com/2024/01/01/usb4-tb4-docks/#dual-monitor-docks-41

i was reading based on this

[foggy shore]

is ts safe

[lethal moth]

I could of, ill do that next time i open my case

Rate the desk

[solemn rover]

There is room for improvement

[azure topaz]

yeah shawty

hottest chip on am4 aside from x3d

and its not even at 95, so its like super fine

was that during cinebench?

[foggy shore]

Hwinfo

[foggy shore]

you sure im getitng mixed reponses

[azure topaz]

you only had hwinfo open?

and nothing else

[foggy shore]

i have chrome disc spotify steam and i closed dbd prolly like 15 seconds before i checked my temps

[azure topaz]

and theyre lower now?

[solemn rover]

Sounds like somebody forgot to remove the plastic on the heatsink

[tired tiger]

had some luck found a tb4 lenovo dock used at 100 eur

might go for it

[solemn rover]

Nice!

[azure topaz]

like lower than the screenshot had shown

and what cooling solution do you have?

[tired tiger]

still not sure if it's worth the risk of buying used

[foggy shore]

ts is what it looks like now

[foggy shore]

thermal paste and a air cooler

[azure topaz]

yeah its going lower

[azure topaz]

what air cooler, be specific

[foggy shore]

thermalight

[solemn rover]

Stalk the seller, see if they seem legit.

Used business equipment generally goes pretty low in price

[azure topaz]

mf i said specific

[solemn rover]

peerless assasin from what I can tell

[azure topaz]

theres about 300 thermalright coolers

[solemn rover]

Which is a great cooler

[azure topaz]

okay thank you 😭

[tired tiger]

the guy seems to sell a lot of lenovo parts

so might be legit

[foggy shore]

no

this 1

[azure topaz]

okay then

youre perfectly okay at those temps

[foggy shore]

im torlling

[solemn rover]

Probably sells stuff from liquidated businesses etc

[tired tiger]

also another question and recommandations for a good vesa mount for laptop?

[azure topaz]

okay still

[foggy shore]

so od i need to fix anything?

[lethal moth]

Thermalright my beloved

[tired tiger]

and if the amazon basic stand is good enough for holding a laptop

[azure topaz]

id consider a repaste with something like MX6 or similar like duronaut or nth2

[brave brook]

people who route fan cables for tower heatsink fans over the top deserve to be sent to hell

[azure topaz]

but i wouldnt really worry if you dont want to

[solemn rover]

You for sure fucked up the installation if thats your idle temps

[azure topaz]

you can undervolt or whatever garbage

[azure topaz]

he has stuff open, its not complete idle, this is normal

stuff open+small air cooler, probably a low airflow scenario

[foggy shore]

idk who to believe

i have 3 fans in my pc

[azure topaz]

remount and believe nobody but yourself

youre the computer owner here

[foggy shore]

💔

[azure topaz]

our solutions turn into your own

[foggy shore]

floppa did help me with my pc

[solemn rover]

Then blame Floppa for all your issues

[foggy shore]

what do you think floppa

[azure topaz]

ykwim sayin

[foggy shore]

i have 3 fans btw

[azure topaz]

i have told you everything

[foggy shore]

my cpu fan my gpu fan and 1 case fan

[brave brook]

i guess this guy heard that RGB sells

[azure topaz]

.

if you dont want to that is also fine

if you want to replace your cooler that is also fine

[vapid onyx]

if this is under load u have lower temps than mine on idle... i've got 70+c in idle and 90+c under load whit less powerful cpu

[azure topaz]

but for your scenario, you have a 2 heatpipe tiny tower cooler and an 8core am4 cpu, its gonna be hot

[foggy shore]

so i shoul;d be fine righttt

[solemn rover]

5800XT doesnt draw much power though

[azure topaz]

power is not all that goes into how hot a chip is

[brave brook]

RGB sells /s

[azure topaz]

its thermal density, the 5800XT being the highest heat density chip on am4

(besides x3d but that kinda doesnt count cause its just cause the cache insulates the cores)

[azure topaz]

you can decide that

nothing you will do from this point (with half a thought in your head) will kill anything

[foggy shore]

idk much about pcs i just built what you told me to get

[azure topaz]

so you can decide if you want to leave it

[foggy shore]

i want to leave it bc i dont really want to mess with my pc but i dont want to leave it and kill my mbo

[solemn rover]

Aware of that, but it still seems really high to me

I suspect its one of these

• Plastic cover on heatsink
• Not enough thermal paste
• Cooler not properly mounted

As you say its not a big deal though, worst case scenario is that the CPU will thermal throttle and run slower. Maybe last for 12 years instead of 15 (CPUs dont really die)

[azure topaz]

i thim the cooler just sucks and it’s a hot

[tidal geyser]

Labtob cleantob

[foggy shore]

i dont want it to last 12 years

[foggy shore]

i should of said this cooler is kindaaaa loose

but i really odnt wanna fix it

[azure topaz]

remount it with new paste or ignore it

[foggy shore]

if i can let it ride out and it will work

[azure topaz]

yes

[tidal geyser]

Pcm also works wonders

Small coolers in laptops should also die

[fickle ivy]

can anyone help

[solemn rover]

Not the same CPU cooler, but linked relevant part of video for how to tighten screws so that you get it properly seated
https://youtu.be/sc3-VgkPJCY?t=290

[foggy shore]

but do i really need to fix it

[solemn rover]

You dont have to, but you should

[foggy shore]

do you think my pc will die if i dont

[solemn rover]

Nope

Just run slower if it thermal throttles due to high temps

[foggy shore]

if it thermal throttles is it fixable?

[tidal geyser]

Use pcm

[foggy shore]

what is that

[tidal geyser]

Do what I did here, replace the old shitty paste with pcm

[solemn rover]

Not really that relevant to the issue here.
Also what is pcm?

[tidal geyser]

Phase change material

[solemn rover]

Ah
https://www.aliexpress.com/i/1005005538910326.html

[tidal geyser]

Ptm 7950 is

[cold skiff]

Some of the dirt on that is nasty

[tidal geyser]

That is it cleaned

[left dove]

what dirt lmao

[solemn rover]

I very much doubt its the same as PTM7950, just the same properties

[lethal moth]

Very low

[foggy shore]

i dont have a laptop

[cold skiff]

Dayumn

Bonnie blue would be proud of that filth

[tidal geyser]

I have 5

[solemn rover]

Loosen the screws on the CPU cooler (not all the way) and screw them in again in a cross pattern as described in the linked video

[tidal geyser]

The laptop is so much cooler when it's able to blast air also got pcm

[lethal moth]

Wtf is with kde and random ass bugs

Like give me my mouse back please

[foggy shore]

@solemn rover ik this sounds dumb and lazy

[lethal moth]

This is why i use hyprland

[foggy shore]

but like i realy dont wanna fix it

i never really had problems with my pc

thats why im asking will it break if i dont

[tidal geyser]

Tf even is the limit here

[solemn rover]

It wont, you will be fine

[azure topaz]

you live unda a rock thern brotha

[viral stump]

yeah

[keen saddle]

been using my pc for 2 years and ive only just found out i wasnt using my ram at its full strength

2 years at 2/3 speed lmfao

[viral stump]

im using ddr4 at 2400mhz 🙏

[solemn rover]

Now update your bios and dont realise it changed it back again

[azure topaz]

i have

[keen saddle]

yeah thats what i was doing by accident lol

[azure topaz]

8000mhz ddr5

and 4400mhz ddr4

[keen saddle]

cpu bemchmark told me i didn’t have xmp on

[azure topaz]

userbenchmark gross

[viral stump]

i need to upgrade brah

its kinda expensive ish tho

[azure topaz]

ram is cheap what

[keen saddle]

i just wanted to test the psu fan

[viral stump]

i mean i guess

[azure topaz]

that’s like the one thing i won’t agree with you on

[viral stump]

its not bad

[azure topaz]

ram is some of the cheapest it’s been especially ddr4

[keen saddle]

ddr5 seems expensive tbh

[viral stump]

its just, idk if the change is worth it

[azure topaz]

80-90$ a kit isn’t bad

[viral stump]

ddr 5 is cheaper than ddr4 no?

[solemn rover]

no indeed

[azure topaz]

no

[tidal geyser]

The hp bios had zero settings

[tidal geyser]

1200

[viral stump]

is the change from 2400 mhz to 3600mhz worth it? (im running 16 gb would upgrade to 32gb)

[tidal geyser]

I have so many rx 6600s now

[azure topaz]

cheapest new ddr4 id get

[tidal geyser]

What cpu

[exotic cape]

Even better

[keen saddle]

nvm it was just a false assumption i looked it up and they’re cheaper than i thought

[azure topaz]

DDR5

and used d4 is even cheaper

[solemn rover]

Those are pretty much the sweetspots for both yes

[keen saddle]

are used rams pretty safe?

[azure topaz]

i mean i dont believe in sweetspot memory

i believe in performance and not

[solemn rover]

Going above 6000 MT/s generally costs a way more than what you get back for it

[azure topaz]

not really, youre just hard pressed to find a use for it

my 7000mhz kit was only 105$

[tidal geyser]

I was ignored 🙁

[azure topaz]

without ram oc knowledge any freq over 6k on ryzen is pretty useless

[solemn rover]

Thats a good price if 32 GB

[azure topaz]

it is 32GB yes

[viral stump]

im upgrading VERY soon and its a Ryzen 7 5800x (pls dont hate, im just casual gamer that wants a bit of an upgrade)

[tidal geyser]

Or bobby just died

[azure topaz]

i think the same kit is still 105

[keen saddle]

also does the ram speed being closer to cpu speed matter at all

[tidal geyser]

Upgrade from what

[viral stump]

had to check

[azure topaz]

no

[viral stump]

AMD Ryzen 3

[rancid solstice]

Typical armoury crate

[viral stump]

i just want to play games at like more than 50-70 fps

[tidal geyser]

Ok yes great upgrade and yes 3600MT ram will also be a massive improvement

[viral stump]

i also have graphic card underway

[viral stump]

noted

[azure topaz]

and ryzen is usually slower in 2:1 unless youre smart

[viral stump]

this is what i have open and my pc is saying kill me 🙏

i also have gtx 1650 gpu rn 🙏 🙏

i might have to consider this

[viral stump]

nah, i cant even buy it

[random junco]

looks like the silicon power ram thing

[viral stump]

its not avaliabe at my location

[random junco]

actually it doesnt look like it

the camo just reminded me of it lol

[viral stump]

imma just search up on facebook marketplace or some shiii

[random junco]

uh

[keen saddle]

its not possible to have different speed ram sticks right

[random junco]

well make sure youre not spending too much on fbm just in case smth goes wrong

[viral stump]

I JUST FOUND A GEM

[random junco]

it is possible but the higher speed gets lowered to the lower one

[viral stump]

i have a app from my country we use

[exotic cape]

Do i swap my servers 3700x with the 5900x from my main pc?

[random junco]

no

never knew that

[viral stump]

i think i just found a gem

[random junco]

show the gem then

[random junco]

no

[exotic cape]

💎

[keen saddle]

theres 32gb ddr4 for £40 here

cheap asl

[random junco]

what WHERE

[viral stump]

25 dollar for this, im not sure about the speed tho, he didnt specify 😢

[exotic cape]

I'm upgrading my 5900x pc to a 9800x3D system.

[tidal geyser]

Ask him?

[random junco]

not really a gem, but a good price i guess

[solemn rover]

No picture of the other side?

[keen saddle]

16x2 tho on ebay

[random junco]

whats the point of seeing the other side

[random junco]

nah bro just took two of the same side but from diffrent angles 🙏

[solemn rover]

iirc it shows the frequency

[random junco]

well if ur changing the 5900x to a 9800x3d then switching ur server cpu from 3700x to 5900x is just common sense bruh

[viral stump]

but im pretty sure these run at 3400

3600*

[random junco]

no

[exotic cape]

@tidal geyser you interested in a 3700x?

[solemn rover]

Theres a lot of LPX variations

[viral stump]

true

Wait

i found one where he said its only been used for 2 hours

[random junco]

used for 2 hours

[viral stump]

and its stated that its 3600 mhz

[viral stump]

yeah sounds pretty fishy

[keen saddle]

https://ebay.us/m/4zpQfh

[viral stump]

he is also just using a stock image

[random junco]

why is it a us link 😭

[keen saddle]

idk discord wouldnt open on pc

so just used the app link

[solemn rover]

Im lazy and do that for all my listings

[random junco]

anyways i hate the look of vengeance lpx ram sticks 💔

[random junco]

i enjoy taking pics of my stuff when selling

[viral stump]

dam

is 3200mhz good 💔

[random junco]

its fine for ddr4

[solemn rover]

Perfectly fine

[viral stump]

cause i found one with 64gb set for the prize of 32gb set new

[random junco]

what country are u flipping in 🥀

[viral stump]

Denmark

aura

HE SENT THE BACKSIDE

[random junco]

whoa

[viral stump]

https://tenor.com/view/he's-done-it-scrubs-dr-cox-gif-15544481206683383675

but isnt 64gb gonna bottleneck

[exotic cape]

Eww

[random junco]

nuh uh

[keen saddle]

ram can bottleneck?

[viral stump]

alright buddy, ur swedish

[grizzled frost]

for what

[viral stump]

idk

[exotic cape]

Close enough.

[viral stump]

its just my pc isnt the greatest

[grizzled frost]

Yes, be it speed or capacity

[viral stump]

cool

i like u then

🤓

[exotic cape]

[solemn rover]

Generally 2 sticks is better than 4 to say it like that, I assume the 64 GB kit is 4x16

[viral stump]

No, its 2x 32gb

[sand heron]

lian li fans

[solemn rover]

Then theres not really a downside

[viral stump]

alright

[solemn rover]

Its completely pointless if you dont need more than 32 GB, but doesnt hurt

[viral stump]

i mean

[solemn rover]

Im stupid and would go that route

[viral stump]

how much does ram help with performance really?

[random junco]

cpu/gpu specs?

[viral stump]

3060 12 gb, Ryzen 7 5800x 🥲

[solemn rover]

You wont see any performance benefit going from 32 to 64 as you are unlikely to hit any limits where you end up using your disk as swap

[viral stump]

true

[vapid onyx]

bru what? wasnt bf6 beta open whitout code now? why i can't play?

[keen saddle]

its closed now for everyone im pretty sure

[vapid onyx]

i don't know i remember they sayed that after 9 it was open for everyone

till 18

[solemn rover]

So the "correct" move is to go for a cheaper 2x16 GB kit

The dumb "I want more capacity for no reason" move is to go with the 2x32 GB (Im saying its dumb and did so myself)

[solemn rover]

it will be available in the weekend again

[vapid onyx]

oh alr

[viral stump]

Yeah

[random junco]

just got a 3600 with cooler for £33 (43 usd) to replace my 5600x
now its time to sell the cooler for £8 (10usd)

cheap 3600 is what i like to see

[viral stump]

Im gonna have a look, it would certainly upgrade it but ill check when i put in my new stuff if i think it runs fine or i should upgrade it

[keen saddle]

whats with ram being so expensive on amazon https://amzn.eu/d/0ortnPx

[random junco]

some items on amazon are miscorrectly priced

but then they get relisted with a real price

tbh i wouldnt be surprised if that is the actual price

ram prices do strangely vary across continents

[trim gyro]

I don't think many brands are still ordering new ddr4 kits

even if, not in high volume

[livid fern]

With 5800x
RAM tuning IS worth

[solemn rover]

Probably some of that, same happened with DDR3 when production ramped down

The market will try to extract money from those that really need it while everybody else buys cheap DDR5

[latent gull]

Last I heard most had stopped new production, and it was increasing in price fairly quickly due to there still being so many people using platforms that need it

[solemn rover]

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ddr4/the-end-of-an-era-ddr4-production-to-essentially-end-this-year-micron-the-final-domino-to-fall

[random junco]

uh oh

[grizzled frost]

time to finally upgrade to ddr5

[keen saddle]

ddr5 is only like £10 more expensive on amazon, thought thered be a larger gap

[grizzled frost]

you shouldn't be buying into a ddr4 platform in this day and age anyways

[latent gull]

Am4 can still be a good budget friendly option, but it’s changing fairly quickly

[random junco]

motherboard and cpu upgrade also required 😔

[solemn rover]

I would argue for used though

[random junco]

this is going to affect used markets as well right?

[grizzled frost]

Won't be the case for long

[livid fern]

Honestly used RAM

[latent gull]

The am4 x3d chips are being discontinued and going up in price and the ddr4 prices are going up too

[latent gull]

Yeah, that’s why I said it’s changing fairly quickly

[livid fern]

5800x3d is eol already

[keen saddle]

does intel 13th gen work with ddr5

[solemn rover]

One of the main issues in the used market is availability of motherboards as they tend to die way more CPU and RAM

Thats why you typically see old CPUs dirt cheap while the motherboard are expensive

[grizzled frost]

yes...

[solemn rover]

with the right motherboard*

[grizzled frost]

any LGA 1700 chip works with ddr5 and ddr4

The motherboard decides what ram you can use

[keen saddle]

ty

[latent gull]

My motherboard was mad at me and made me use ddr4 :(

[solemn rover]

Well, also the CPU. Intel went with dual controllers on LGA1700 chips iirc

[plush wren]

mfs here sell used ram as if its new

https://tenor.com/view/luna-cat-judging-gif-7737049233510949865

[grizzled frost]

hence why i said "any LGA 1700 chip works with ddr5 and ddr4"

[iron glen]

[plush wren]

[keen saddle]

what do you guys look for when buying ram

[grizzled frost]

RAM doesn't really depreciate

[iron glen]

Cheap

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[gray sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-gif-9895062

[grizzled frost]

ddr5 6000mt/s CL30 for cheapest possible price

[iron glen]

Wsp jorj

[latent gull]

If it can fit under my massive heat sink

[keen saddle]

ty

[latent gull]

If it’s ZRGB, it won’t >:(

[grizzled frost]

or ddr5 6400 CL32 for zen5

[keen saddle]

you got that noctua passive one?

[latent gull]

No I’ve got the noctua big back

[solemn rover]

D15 is also problematic

[keen saddle]

never heard of that one

[latent gull]

Yeah, I had the put the fans in a funny way otherwise my ram wouldn’t fit under it :p

[viral stump]

I think I have a g345?

[latent gull]

Now I’m in an AIO and it’s way easier

[viral stump]

Wait lemme check

[solemn rover]

Same here as well, so now my side panel barely fits

[gray sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-gif-9895062

[latent gull]

We did the same thing

[south arrow]

[keen saddle]

are there any issues with ddr5 5600 then or is it just slightly slower

[iron glen]

Heyo

[tidal geyser]

Bad

[solemn rover]

D15 gen2 has fixed the RAM clearance issues iirc, but the price is a bit too much to swallow. Especially when I already have a D15

[gray sierra]

3d brownie big creep

[grizzled frost]

slower, and overpriced

[viral stump]

I have a g435 💔💔

[iron glen]

[wispy spindle]

Mb gang 😭

[tidal geyser]

Not good

[grizzled frost]

Easily one the worst kits on the market

[tidal geyser]

Screen is like a mirror

[tidal geyser]

Maybe

[viral stump]

Oh heck no

That looks terrible 🙏

[iron glen]

Would it be wise to keep a working pc in a sealed cabinet?

[grizzled frost]

no

unless it's a really low power PC

[keen saddle]

yeah im trying to work out if its specialised or something

[viral stump]

Is there anyway to reduce the filth you get in your pc by having it on the floor? I wanna do triple monitor setup but don’t have space on my desk if I don’t put down my pc

[azure topaz]

this is lowkey not important cause samsung is in most of the elcheapo kits

[iron glen]

Out of idea on what the cable holes on mine are for then

[keen saddle]

makes no sense to be so much worse than everything else at the same exact price

[azure topaz]

crucial stopped making ballistix a long while ago

[grizzled frost]

nope, just a shitty kit for the people dumb enough to buy it

[azure topaz]

any ddr4 youd buy from them would be in weird corsair bins and their pro stuff or something

[solemn rover]

Samsung has/had like 40% of the market share

[azure topaz]

then sk hynix

[woven wigeon]

or crucial

[azure topaz]

no

micron stopped being a popular ddr4 option when crucial killed ballistix

[solemn rover]

Article mentions that CXMT will keep at it for a little while longer, but they are closer to 5% in DDR4 iirc (and also late to the party)

They might become a larger player in DDR5

[azure topaz]

seems such fyi

their recent ic is pretty promising despite the low freq wall

[woven wigeon]

isint ddr4 expenvive since many manufactuers dont make it anny more

[solemn rover]

Nobody has stopped DRAM production yet

[azure topaz]

^

[azure topaz]

then probably micron then nanya

or cxmt then nanya

you find a lot of samsung C/hynix CJR/DJR nowadays in d4

esp on the normie kits people would be buying

[woven wigeon]

did i get a good deal snagging laptop this for abt 1.3k cad or 1099€

[azure topaz]

4060 is disappointing

1080p screen is disappointing

rest is good

[woven wigeon]

i use a 4k tv and i dont play very intenvive games

[azure topaz]

lowkey just made it worse

[solemn rover]

Just learned that 12 GB DIMMs are a thing

[woven wigeon]

lire mainly roblox and minecraft

[woven wigeon]

yeah levovo is weid

[azure topaz]

starting with D5*(unless theres some rando previous gen garbage)

[woven wigeon]

like they also make 6 gb sticks

[solemn rover]

Was aware of 24/48, just not 12

[azure topaz]

well why not cut it in half and make 12

their logic not mine

same thing happened with 8gbit ics

[solemn rover]

1x24 would have been cheaper and not much of a downside

[azure topaz]

single channel would be a huge downside

[woven wigeon]

insides ov the hot rod

[solemn rover]

DDR5 is a bit weird there though

[woven wigeon]

piuny battery ngl

[azure topaz]

no its not its just different than ddr4

its not any faster despite each stick being its own 2 channels

[agile topaz]

Nice, weird how pcs sometimes will or wont work

[azure topaz]

2x32 bit bursts opposed to ddr4's 1x64bit burst

so yeah its dual channel but you dont have the same bit width

[solemn rover]

Havent looked into it more than seeing that it is dual channel, probably should.

[azure topaz]

if they had made ddr5 1x128bit or 2x64bit id agree cause like yeah same width but even then that implies that 256 width is possible with 2 sticks so its still bad

[solemn rover]

From HN: "DDR5 splits the DIMM's 64-bit connection into two sub-channels of 32 bits each. But mainstream CPUs still have the same 128-bit total width for their DRAM controllers, so you still need more than one DIMM installed to use all the (sub)channels provided by the CPU's memory controller."

[azure topaz]

yeah

[latent gull]

Also 1 stick is ugly

[woven wigeon]

[woven wigeon]

dell dimention era y talking?

[latent gull]

?

[agile topaz]

Well, at least they know what a 4060 is capable of and they supplied it with a cpu that wont bottleneck it at 1440p

Speaking of, what the actual hell is this

[latent gull]

A stupid answer to a stupid question

[agile topaz]

I could be wrong but isnt the Ultra 7 265K kinda strong?

[agile topaz]

Yeah, but why would that even

[latent gull]

Why would you even ask the question

[agile topaz]

I didn't, that's an "other people asked" recommendation

[inner veldt]

This sound comes from third fan of zotac 5080 solid, should I worry about it? At certain rpms

[dawn tundra]

just received a Arduino plug and make kit mailed to me by my grandfather

[agile topaz]

I don't think thats an issue, I would describe that as pc background noise

But if its actually coming from the fan, check if anything's blocking it

I think your worst case is a funky bearing in the fan, but even then I don't think I've ever heard a pc that doesn't make that kind of noise to a lesser extent

[frigid topaz]

Do yall think if I buy a massive heatsink and slap it on the back of the gpu backplate that it would help with cooling?

[inner veldt]

it doesnt i guess about bearing

I might ignore it but its annoying a bit

[solemn rover]

Thats what it sounds like to me, or that the fan is slightly grinding against the shroud

[inner veldt]

its isolated

[agile topaz]

Well if its not coming from the fan, thats probably just the gpu having small vibrations either due to the rpm or a shroud being hit

[inner veldt]

i mean, fans are not touching anywhere

[agile topaz]

If you turn the pc off and try manually turning the fans you'll be able to tell if it catches on a hitch

[hoary tree]

20GB 3090????

[agile topaz]

If its not, and they rotate smoothly, I would just assume there's some vibrations throughout the pc that cause that noise

[agile topaz]

I have had someone mention buzzing to me, and it turned out to be one of their cables vibrating against the back plate

I don't know how you'd manage stopping that sound with a reverse face header motherboard, but it could also be that if it stops when you take that plate off

[hoary tree]

What is that thing...

[brave brook]

[brave brook]

to be fair, it has a 10 gigabit NIC and oculink

5x HDD + 3x NVMe

[formal sonnet]

Nice. So what you're saying is... it could get warm enough to air fry if one were to max it out. 🤔

[brave brook]

on other side, if in future they offered replacement base system modules, it is not that stupid

[tidal geyser]

This is everything I can do, can't even change tbe igpu VRAM amount

[agile stag]

i got a t440p recently and its cool but grr i hate the trackpad i wish it wasnt the way that it was

[brave brook]

i never understood why people actually prefer to use trackpad. Even the Apple ones are much worse in usability to literally any mouse, even the cheapo $3 ones

[forest spruce]

my troubshoot is trying to find another driver for my speakers but it seems it cant. does anyone know how i can use my drivers again

[tidal geyser]

Are you just at a desk 24/7?

[agile stag]

its easy to use when i dont have a surface

using a mouse on a laptop sucks grr

[brave brook]

are you on move 24/7 ?

[agile stag]

id rather just use the trackpad than have no space

and its another charger sized brick id have to lug around

[brave brook]

i mean sure, there are emergency situations sometimes when one can't use a mouse, but those are rare, at least for me

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[solemn rover]

Right now Im sitting in the sofa with my MBA on a laptop stand in my lap, using a mouse wouldnt be practical

[tidal geyser]

Immortal snail c'mon man

[agile stag]

i like my laptop because itll do whatever it can but pretty much anywhere it does good

[tidal geyser]

But I like moving around a bit and just lying on my bed and such

[agile stag]

on planes or on a couch or in a class or something

[brave brook]

yes, on train or public transport i would use trackpad, because i have to. But majority of laptop users are literaly just taking their laptop to workplace, use them at desk, move to presentation rooms, use them at desk, move home, use them at desk

[agile stag]

i just use a desktop when im at a desk

[solemn rover]

My work PC could in theory just be a NUC with a battery I move between the TB dock at work and home

[agile stag]

i just have a desktop for my fake laptop work but uh its the opposite of anything special

a plain windows 10 pc with an i5 and 8gb ram my beloved

has anyone used UXTU here

[solemn rover]

Laptop wired into the desktop case?

[agile stag]

nope thats just a couple laptops i have more

Also that is 720p fsr performance

I found something funny

The short boost power profile shit kicks in when I plug or unplug my charger so I saw a boost up to 50 fps and actually usable and then died again

[forest spruce]

does anyone know how i can update my driver. i honestly dont know how and my speakers arent working cuz of this

[agile stag]

hmm fair yeah no its just very plain and boring:3

[agile stag]

what evil audio driver is that

[forest spruce]

i dont know what im supposed to do about it

[agile stag]

id get another one or none uh audio is pretty good at working usually

[forest spruce]

i just dont want to use headphones forever

[agile stag]

get whatevers supposed to come with your device and maybe screw around with it in device manager/sound settings too idk

do you have speakers

[forest spruce]

i do

ive had them for awhile and they just suddenly stopped working

[agile stag]

something mighve updated then or whatever

[agile stag]

id run this though

oem audio drivers and uh device manager fuckery and also make sure sound settings are good

[forest spruce]

how do i know whats supposed to come with my device

[agile stag]

what device do you have

youd look up like "thinkpad t450 audio drivers" or just drivers or something

and make sure the download link isnt an ad and fake

do i just look up the model of my pc and audio drivers for it

i think i know what i got

You’re also gaming on a Mac

[ripe spire]

Maybe I need to replace my Mac then

[real quiver]

It also depends on individual games and developers

They can be very unoptimized

[ripe spire]

Tbh I might just wait for the ROG Xbox ally x

[real quiver]

Handhelds are cool but I personally would not want one for at home

[random junco]

replace the mac with a non mac

[real quiver]

I only use my steam deck for travel

Even then I remote play when I can

[hexed tapir]

I use my steam deck at work

[ripe spire]

Only issue is, I don’t use steam

Mind blowing I know

[real quiver]

They're installing the fiber at my house now

This is a W hopefully

[ripe spire]

I liked my switch back in the day, in 2018, but now I’m in a sort of closed loop of liking windows games

[ripe spire]

Like what

[real quiver]

I almost exclusively use steam

[fringe prairie]

build a cheap pc

[random junco]

i think they want a laptop

[real quiver]

Valve is just such a reasonable company

[random junco]

wait is it a mac or a macbook @ripe spire

[hexed tapir]

Cheap gaming pc

[random junco]

[real quiver]

I let my roomba map my house

How long until I start getting targeted advertisements

[random junco]

i have such a bad habit of clicking links

im surprised ive never had a virus

[ripe spire]

MacBook

[ripe spire]

No, I have a gaming pc at home, it’s fucking massive and weighs more than some children, it’s not very portable

It’ll be a while until laptops or handhelds rival the performance of my at home gaming pc, but I can’t bring that with me

[cunning tree]

if anyone can help me get a computer to be used as a server type deal

#tech-chat-2 message

bottom paragraph is the important part if you just wanna know what id use it for and wanna suggest from there

[stark kiln]

Guys what's the best 200$ new or used gpu

[random junco]

200 usd in my local currency would get me a 2070 super

[vernal sphinx]

upgrading my 7600x to a 9800x3d, can i just download the latest bios for my motherboard

[random junco]

u can always download bios updates

[vernal sphinx]

that doesnt answer my question

[high pier]

is there a photo server that lets me upload photos from an iphone and it'll auto delete it from the phone

I dont need backups I need more storage by streaming photos

[vernal sphinx]

dont think u can do that on iphone

[random junco]

google photos

once they upload u press "save storage" and it deletes everything from ur phone and it stays online

[high pier]

I want to self host

[lapis furnace]

I have a question, my build has the msi pro b650-s? don't think it is V1, I get that its performance is lackluster, but does it offer good performance for its value, (130 USD) even if there are better boards. At least to MSI standards?

[latent pasture]

are you gonna run 7950x on it

its "poor performance" is because it runs 7950x allcore workload 5% worse than stock

[random gyro]

running a 7600X, mainly because of high boost clock but undervolted both my gpu and cpu

[white sphinx]

Why are people delusional about the prices on their 10 year old pcs with like i5s and the lowest possible transfer speed ram? Its not worth 500$

[latent pasture]

any cpu less than 16 cores it will run a 100% max performance

[random gyro]

they don't wanna spend more money than they have to.

[latent pasture]

ok think, it can run a 16 core cpu in a 170w workload only 5% worse than stock
what do you think itll do on 12 cores or less
use the brain matter

[white sphinx]

Yeah but its worth like 150$ on a good day. It has got to to fall under some anti fraud regulation smh

[latent pasture]

lol id say that to the "paintings" that cost $10000000 first

[random gyro]

they probably got a 'rgb' dell optiplex for 300 USD

[azure topaz]

windows sandbox feature kinda cool

[white sphinx]

Like a pc with a nehalem gen cpu is not worth anything. Legit e-waste atp. Unless you’re a vintage pc enthusiast

[random gyro]

i still have a i5-7500 laying around somewhere, not a bad cpu if you pair it with a decent motherboard and gpu

[white sphinx]

Yeah but its not a 500$ pc imo

Like a 1060+i5 7500 is a good combo, on a budget

[latent pasture]

its 500 to someone

[white sphinx]

Paired with a used 3080 ti maybe

[latent pasture]

price is all opinion anyway

[random gyro]

not everyone is elon musk like you

[latent pasture]

unless regulated

[white sphinx]

???

Because im mad people are predating people who dont know better? If you list an 8 year old mid range pc as a “powerful battlestation” and charge 500$ for it thats just scummy imo

[latent pasture]

scummy for a person but when a corpo does it its fine

with about ten more 0s to the price

[white sphinx]

So true. But its comes with warranty

[vocal jacinth]

Hi, was trying to boot to windows from linux, was messing around with some kind of “keys” in the bios and saved and exited when i was saving the configuration and now i do not get a display anymore

I tried taking the cmos battery and reinserting after 10 minutes or so, i tried shorting the cmos flash, and i even did a q flash to no avail.

Please help im using the gigabyte b650 aorus elite ax motherboard

[trim gyro]

if the computer was working before, try keeping the computer on for 10 minutes or so, even if it's on a blank screen. it could be memory training

[vocal jacinth]

Ok ill try

[tulip sparrow]

I miss that look

Vista is probably my favorite looking Windows OS

[lapis furnace]

win7 is the ambassador of frutiger aero tho

[tulip sparrow]

Just no

[lapis furnace]

yes

[tulip sparrow]

I even go back and use a Windows Vista theme for Windows XP if I am not using the Zune theme

Sorry but 7 doesn't look anything like Vista

[fallen hedge]

hey has anyone seen this?

[gleaming rose]

you mean microsoft copilot in edge?
