[tidal geyser]

normal

i would rec PCMing the gpu

[mental geyser]

and when i quit the game it gets stuck like this

[tidal geyser]

now that is a issue

[paper pelican]

Don't even have a gpu,it's my old pc from which I gonna upgrade

[iron glen]

what is PCMing and what does it do?

[tidal geyser]

look at task manager

[paper pelican]

Now its fixed yay

[tidal geyser]

phase change material instead of paste

[limpid mantle]

gigabyte b850i aorus pro
get real fella

[iron glen]

ah

[limpid mantle]

I get why they do it, but add in manual pls😃

[mental geyser]

it changes back to normal when i go to any other thing here and back to performance

[tidal geyser]

you are 100% not meant to remove the plastic

[limpid mantle]

making assumptions huh

[tidal geyser]

then its just the update rate of adrenalin

[limpid mantle]

there is no other way to do it

[mental geyser]

yeah its jsut adrenalin

[limpid mantle]

so what do you want me to do

[mental geyser]

do i have anything to worry about or is this completely fine

[mental ruin]

Rtx 2070 laptop or rtx 3050 ti laptop both are used and around the same price but the 2070 one has more ram

[tidal geyser]

what wattage gpu and what cpu and wattage

what kinda cooling and screen

[mental geyser]

mb gng

[tidal geyser]

not you

xd

[cunning flume]

will changing any settings on amd app change my performance?

[mental geyser]

it does for me

[mental ruin]

Both fhd 3050 ti one is 120hz 2070 one 144hz, both cpus are around the same performance, in terms of cooling I will get a cooling pad

[cunning flume]

what did you change?

[mental geyser]

my friend (with an nvidia gpu) keeps telling me to turn on this and that and turn off this and whatever but when i use HYPR-RX and it feels like im getting better performance

[mental geyser]

this

[tidal geyser]

OMG BUT INSIDE THEY USE DIFFERENT COOLING SYSTEMS, a cooling pad can only do so much and each of them can use different amount of power

[cunning flume]

i only have an amd cpu tho will that help?

[tidal geyser]

ok yup that board dumb

[mental geyser]

maybe? what gpu do u have

[cunning flume]

4060

[tidal geyser]

wtf

[mental geyser]

sorry idk anything bout nvidia gpus

im not richy mcrich so i cant afford anything better than a rx7600

[mental ruin]

Also both are 90 watts but the 2070 has a built in oc with a button

[tidal geyser]

wat

the 2070 is a 115w gpu in a laptop, i know since i own one

[cunning flume]

same i was saving for like a year

[true stirrup]

Yeah that "OC" will do basically nothing so don't bother

[full prawn]

Yo should my fans be maxing out or nah

Cause these temps look high

[mental geyser]

show

[true stirrup]

Depends on what temps you are reaching for

[tidal geyser]

bet its like 60w vs 125w shit or smn

[mental ruin]

It's 90 watts with oc it's 115 watts

[mental geyser]

60w to 60.5w

[full prawn]

Its on 80 degrees now

[tidal geyser]

yea see

[true stirrup]

You called it

[tidal geyser]

just say the model of the 2 laptops

[full prawn]

95 hotspot

[tidal geyser]

that does make a MASSIVE difference

[tidal geyser]

pretty low

[mental geyser]

im not the guy looking for the laptops

[full prawn]

82 degrees gpu temp

[full prawn]

Are you fr or just joking

[true stirrup]

Yup that is quite the difference

[tidal geyser]

yus

[tidal geyser]

its a 240w 3060 ti

[mental ruin]

I am kinda leaning towards the 2070 one but what do you think

[full prawn]

I mean this still seems like a lot

Its 84 98 now

[tidal geyser]

i do not want to say anything until i get to see what laptop it actually is

[full prawn]

95% fan usage

[tidal geyser]

PTM/PCM it'

[full prawn]

What is that

[mental ruin]

The 2070 is the acer predator Helios 300 and the 3050 ti is Lenovo ideapad gaming 3

[tidal geyser]

PTM?

o hell no

[full prawn]

Wdym

Its going down when i open my panel

[tidal geyser]

do you watch LTT?

[full prawn]

Now its 80-81 95

Is my airflow shit

[tidal geyser]

you are the guy with the hotbox

[iron glen]

idk, is it?

[full prawn]

Looks like it

Opened my panel and the temps dropped

I thought i set it up properly 😭

[true stirrup]

A phase change thermal pad

[full prawn]

Ignore the giant fan i forgot where my amd one is

Now im stuck with this

[tidal geyser]

why is the fan up there

[full prawn]

2 front 1 back and 1 top

Cant fit another one in the back

[tidal geyser]

why did you move the fan from how the case is meant to be

[iron glen]

wow its almost as if when you open up a bigger hole for more air to get in, more air gets in 🤯

[tidal geyser]

the air 100 has 3 front 1 back

[full prawn]

You are acting like a petty teacher 😭

[tidal geyser]

good

[full prawn]

Yeah

[iron glen]

you look like you need educating so yeah

[full prawn]

I do

[tidal geyser]

also the air 100 is pwm controlled but that is for the cpu

sooo when you are only stressing the gpu the fan speed is low

[full prawn]

Oh okay thank you

So should i move the fan back

It seems like too much intake tho

[tidal geyser]

in games it aint gonna matter anyways

[full prawn]

I mean i just dont want to stress my hardware poijtlessly

[tidal geyser]

so that is why you used furmark???

[full prawn]

A buyer wanted a test

[iron glen]

whys furmark not recommended anyway?

[full prawn]

And i was curious too

It isnt?

[tidal geyser]

maxes out the hardware

it also only maxes some parts

[carmine light]

sim are you a real person or ai

[real lantern]

sim is maintaining tc1 just like a job

[full prawn]

Sim is goated

[iron glen]

they're AI actually i've seen it happen

[tidal geyser]

like with my gpu i was 110c in any game i did but furmark like 100c hotspot

[solid osprey]

where can i get a pc case thats atx cheaper than this

[carmine light]

no one can be on discord that much and be a real person

[iron glen]

you'd be suprised

[tidal geyser]

its funny you are saying this after i have spent like a week not bothering here

[carmine light]

they should employ you

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/boom-gif-3073374073263649697

[iron glen]

as what 😭

[carmine light]

tech support

[tidal geyser]

tech support

[solid osprey]

yeah wait i js got sent this

collection only but it isnt far

and it has plenty of hdd bays cuz i need atleast 4

[carmine light]

i want that one evga case i forgot what its called

[tidal geyser]

o yea its you

[carmine light]

dg 87

[full prawn]

Should i max my fans to always go haywire

[tidal geyser]

making a good ol NAS

[full prawn]

Surely it wont break them

[tidal geyser]

i would not

[full prawn]

Makes sense

Thank you

[carmine light]

i could build a nas in my antec lanboy i think

[warm linden]

Crazy

[tidal geyser]

wanna know the best part

[carmine light]

355 watts vs 95 watts

[true stirrup]

Was just about to say

[tidal geyser]

that is pure bullshit

look at where the 4080 is then the XTX

[carmine light]

they should call it a 5080 mobile because it preforms similar to

[tidal geyser]

it is?

its a 5080 mobile with more vram

[warm linden]

Keep in mind gddr6 vs 7 too

[tidal geyser]

ok so the 5090 die is actually different

[carmine light]

why is it so expensive

[tidal geyser]

old case unopened?

[carmine light]

it is in the box

[solid osprey]

yeah im gonna go for that corsair case, its collection only but i will make the trek

wait damn ts ancient it has firewire

[carmine light]

it says it supports 400mm graphics cards

it came out in like 2008

[tidal geyser]

ye

[carmine light]

it is a struggle to fit my gtx 690 in it

thats a 280mm card

i am tempted to buy another gtx 690 and run 4 way sli

but it already draws 360 watts

[slim lake]

is amd geforce 7900xtx good with the ryzen 9 7950x?

[tidal geyser]

do not get the XTX in 2025 at least not for more then like 500

[slim lake]

then what's better?

[tidal geyser]

5090

[slim lake]

how much?

[tidal geyser]

like 1.5X and with DLSS and all the other stuff like 2X

[slim lake]

how expensive

[tidal geyser]

that you can find out

[slim lake]

no like how much should i pay for it

[real lantern]

god help him when he finds out

[slim lake]

ik how much

i just needa know what amount is reasonable

[tidal geyser]

MSRP

[carmine light]

Tight fit

[slim lake]

2000

[tidal geyser]

so that

[real lantern]

MSRP is extinct for high-end cards so probably 2300-2400

[slim lake]

i mean that fits the budget but i can't seem to find anything for 2000

[solid osprey]

has anyone ever collected on ebay before and if so how long do you have to collect smth

[slim lake]

i feel like 5090 might be overkill tho isn't it in most cases?

[real lantern]

it is

[slim lake]

maybe 5080

[real lantern]

whatever suites you

[slim lake]

a lot can be done with 1000 bucks

i'll get mcdonald's once a week for 2 years

[cunning flume]

how do u turn on dlss or raytracing?

[real lantern]

or you can get a negligible performance uplift

[tidal geyser]

by turning it on?

[cunning flume]

where

[tidal geyser]

in games

nvidia app

[fringe sigil]

Is this bend good or is it just too much? It can't damage it right?

[tidal geyser]

you almost cant be too much

[fringe sigil]

What on God's green earth is that supposed to mean

[fringe sigil]

Can I get an answer if you don't mind? Js worried I accidentally bent the wires out of place

Dw I'm almost done ill stop sending questions sooner or later

[tidal geyser]

if you manage to bend it so much it gets damaged you are like the fkn strongest person

[twilit rain]

guys should i sell my offbranded celeron n100 for refurbished dell latitude with i5 8th gen?

[fringe sigil]

Considering I'm not that strong I'll take that as it's good, thanks again

[tidal geyser]

there is no celeron n100?

[twilit rain]

what?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[twilit rain]

i have laptop with celeron n100

should i exchange it for refurbished latitude with i5?

[tidal geyser]

that is not a real laptop

if you mean just n100 then yes

das is real

[twilit rain]

its nimo laptop

some american brand

[limpid mantle]

very nice

[tidal geyser]

i am 60% sure the power button is connected wrong

[limpid mantle]

the 40% prevails

behind it is reset

[tidal geyser]

no lights

[limpid mantle]

fym no lights

oh the switch

there are none

[tidal geyser]

HDD activity

[limpid mantle]

no

[tidal geyser]

sad

[limpid mantle]

no hdd goes in this case

li an li a4 h2O

[tidal geyser]

its called HDD activity but its just drive activity

[limpid mantle]

yeah I'm just telling you

[tidal geyser]

great to check if a pc has fully frozen or not

[limpid mantle]

no need to remind me

[tidal geyser]

o well

[merry dagger]

If 12pin connector have so much problems, why don't manufacturers scrap it completely instead of trying to fix it?

[tidal geyser]

they have to use it

[limpid mantle]

anyways build gonna be stalled till I receive my ram

[merry dagger]

who said that

[tidal geyser]

why do you think evga left

[tidal geyser]

nvidia?

[normal maple]

I understand this is probably contentious, but for AM5 would you recommend the X method or Pea method for thermal paste?

[merry dagger]

so why don't they rethink it and use just 8 pin connectors? or invent some safer alternative?

[tidal geyser]

have you seen the 5090 FE?

[merry dagger]

i don't see any reasons why this piece of doo have to exist

[tidal geyser]

where on this PCB can you fit 4 8 pins

[merry dagger]

well it has 12+4 pin just as every other 5000 gpu does, no?

[tidal geyser]

well not the same way

[merry dagger]

diagonal towards PC lid and sideways

[tidal geyser]

yea who else does that

[merry dagger]

but absolutely the same

[tidal geyser]

i am going to ask again, where can you fit 4 8 pins here

[merry dagger]

i am not much an expert, but single OG 8pin connector looks like it can handle much more current than 12pin
very thick contacts, thicker wires

[tidal geyser]

wanna guess what the connector is rated for

[shell bay]

Hello guys hope yall doing great i just wanted ask some questions about the asus rog flow x16 2023 model, just wanna know do i have to worry about the hinges that can rotate 360 degres?

[tidal geyser]

aint that a lablet

[shell bay]

yes its like a tablet im going to use it for college

[tidal geyser]

how could they rotate 360 degrees?

[shell bay]

you might missunderstood what i was trying to say is since its a 360 flip laptop would there be any issues with the hinges on the long run ?

[tidal geyser]

caps lock

the 2025 model is actually a tablet

[shell bay]

what were you trying to say

[tidal geyser]

well this

but yea no its all metal so its hard to see it breaking

[shell bay]

you sure ?

[tidal geyser]

i have a HP x360

[shell bay]

i mean its on discount i live in sweden

[tidal geyser]

svensk

[shell bay]

u swedish?

[tidal geyser]

nei

norsk

[shell bay]

lol

bög

jk

the price went from 36000kr to 23000kr @tidal geyser

36% discount

https://www.dustinhome.se/product/5011323516/rog-flow-x16-2023?tab=reviews&scrollToTab=true

[tidal geyser]

23k is still like a 5070 ti and 9800X3D pc

[shell bay]

only

[tidal geyser]

that i9 is a pain

i thought you were looking at a amd one

[shell bay]

wdum

[grim pasture]

om trying to find a sub 550 laptop for school and very light gaming like Minecraft. is this good? https://www.coolblue.nl/product/962432/hp-laptop-14-em0957nd.html

Or is there something better?

[tidal geyser]

look used

[shell bay]

vad menar du sim?

what do you think about this one https://www.dustinhome.se/product/5011346545/katana-15

[tidal geyser]

intel and battery life at least before core ultra was not it

[tidal geyser]

i see katana

i do not even need to click on the link to know its bad

[shell bay]

lmfao they that bad with the cooling ?

[tidal geyser]

msi just makes cheap crappy laptops that break quickly

[shell bay]

can you pick some laptops here https://www.dustinhome.se/kampanj/back-to-school

that are on discount

max 23k budget

[low spear]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mBpkBq
rateee

[low spear]

💩 or ✅

[tidal geyser]

just get a used pc

[low spear]

[tidal geyser]

i would say just get the asus

[shell bay]

the x16?

[tidal geyser]

ye

or ofc used is always something

[shell bay]

dont trust used

[tidal geyser]

but you have buyers protection?

[tidal geyser]

guess the price of this laptop

[low spear]

1.2k

[tidal geyser]

all metal, 512GB storage, 16GB ram, touchscreen and just GOOD display, REALLY good speakers, battery life is pretty decent still somehow
and its the 2 in 1

[tidal geyser]

it is

[low spear]

wow

[low spear]

🔥

[tidal geyser]

1.2k kroner

and that is about 100$

[low spear]

oh

💀

[tidal geyser]

here is the issue the seller claimed it had

I think the speakers are blown, as the sound sounds strange and crackly for a while after use
(driver issue due to some random shitty driver deciding to step in and fuck with the audio but not letting it install after a driver reinstall fixed the issue and the speakers sound AMAZING)

the fan starts making a strange, low vibrating sound after a while of use
(no clue what they mean the fan is fine and have had zero issues does not even make any real noise)

the webcam button does not work after the PC was repaired and the screen was replaced. The webcam is therefore constantly visible.
(repair shop managed to break off the button but i need to solder on a new one at some point)

the rubber under the laptop that is supposed to provide grip on surfaces has fallen off
( yup missing those but 10$ and a few weeks and im getting some)

the feet are not far away

[fringe prairie]

unless you need 2in1 this is a better deal
https://www.lenovo.com/se/sv/p/laptops/legion-laptops/legion-5-series/lenovo-legion-5-gen-10-15-inch-amd/83f1cto1wwse3

[twilit rain]

guys should i sell my offbranded celeron n100 for refurbished dell latitude with i5 8th gen?

[shell bay]

why ai chips ?

[fringe prairie]

there's even a 5070 variant for 20k

[fringe prairie]

zen5 based, better battery life

[tidal geyser]

Holy hell oled

[shell bay]

is there driver issues if you use ultra chips/ai chips with amd

[fringe prairie]

no

[shell bay]

lets say im using something like matlab or something that requires cpu power in which case would a normal cpu would win over a ultra chip ?

[tidal geyser]

Normal cpu?

[fringe prairie]

what do you mean normal

"ultra" means you're referring to core ultra, which is intels latest cpus

think of core ultra 200 as 15th gen

[shell bay]

cpus that are none ai

[tidal geyser]

A desktop PC will always have more performance then a laptop fi that is what you mean

[shell bay]

no

[tidal geyser]

Ai is just marketing xd

[shell bay]

one u sent me what would be the main difference on ai chip and a none one

[tidal geyser]

Do you mean core ultra and ai nonsense?

[fringe prairie]

https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Ryzen-AI-7-350-Processor-Benchmarks-and-Specs.949825.0.html

if you mean like benchmarks?

[shell bay]

yes

[tidal geyser]

Aka Intel vs AMD

[fringe prairie]

which core ultra cpu btw

[tidal geyser]

They are 2 different CPUs

[shell bay]

what im trying to say what the point of having these types of cpu ?

[tidal geyser]

5% within a 285h is insane

[tidal geyser]

What?????

[fringe prairie]

the "ai" and "core ultra" naming is all marketing

don't worry about having an ai chip or not, just look at the benchmarks

[shell bay]

what i mean AMD Ryzen™ 7 7800X3D and the AMD Ryzen™ AI 7 350-processor you linked me

[fringe prairie]

huh desktop? i mean 7800x3d would crush the ai 350 in gaming

in prod idk, i wouldn't even consider the 7800x3d for productivity anyways

[tidal geyser]

Desktop cpu vs laptop cpu

[shell bay]

hmm maybe i compared it wrong like a normal ryzen 7 in a laptop comapred to AMD Ryzen™ AI 7 350-processor maybe that clears things out ?

[steel umbra]

why not ryzen math or ryzen algorithm 7 350?

[shell bay]

in productivity

[tidal geyser]

What normal?????

The ai 7 is the normal one

[leaden grotto]

since when do u need to download stuff on a new laptop

[shell bay]

AMD Ryzen™ 7 7435HS

[steel umbra]

zen 3

[shell bay]

for an example

[fringe prairie]

much worse

[raven scroll]

Guys does +40 MHz core clock make a difference in terms of fps

[fringe prairie]

zen3+ and no igpu meaning shit battery life

[tidal geyser]

That is using like 5 year old architecture

[tidal geyser]

Since 4 years ago

[tidal geyser]

That is the one with no igpu xd

[shell bay]

AMD Ryzen 7 8940HX

[leaden grotto]

ah fair enough, my last laptop was 7y ago

[shell bay]

to the AMD Ryzen™ AI 7 350-processor

[leaden grotto]

i remember turning it on and going straght into it

[tidal geyser]

That is 3

[fringe prairie]

much better performance since it's basically a desktop chip but much worse battery life

[tidal geyser]

That is this year but kinda last year

[fringe prairie]

wait wait r7 8940hx?

probably meant r9 8940hx

[steel umbra]

r11 take or nothing

[leaden grotto]

anyone can tell me this is dust or its literally something underneath it

[tidal geyser]

Wat

Also bet that is a speaker hole

[leaden grotto]

i think it's the front speakers ye

so that should be normal right?

[odd marsh]

it's just dust

[leaden grotto]

ah alr

hard to get it out

[worn willow]

linux or mac or windows

what one i should get

[exotic cape]

That kernel heap mode bsod I'm getting tired of getting it.

[shell bay]

would the asus proart p16 be a good choice for productivity

[alpine heron]

What sort of productivity?

For most office use whatever is in the size and resolution you want and cheap is going to be fine

[shell bay]

starting college soon engineering

[alpine heron]

See above then

You don't need anything fancy for engineering

[shell bay]

its on discount

[alpine heron]

$100 1440p 27in are my recommendations

Pretty good sweet spot of sizing where whatever legacy garbage you need to deal with will be okay

Also it seems that product name refers to some laptops as well? I was only aware of the portable monitor

[abstract wigeon]

this is the 7th time on the 4th driver ive tried

i need to stop removing my gpu from my system mid game man

on a serious note is there any chance this is a hardware issue? im selling this gpu soon and i dont want to sell a faulty card...

[distant frigate]

Alright. Got the heart monitor attached

Looks pretty nice. Probably a newer type heart monitor

[tulip helm]

If i'm watching youtube i only hear music and not the youtubers talking or if i'm in a call i don't hear the person talking, how do i fix this?

[leaden grotto]

just got a laptop, is it worth it to limit battery charge to 80%?

[rigid fjord]

i smell scam

[serene pumice]

sure

[rigid fjord]

that's worser than gettign a 7735hs

[serene pumice]

60hz then

[leaden grotto]

also when im home, can i leave it plugged in all the time, or will that damage the battery

[rigid fjord]

tempting

[latent pasture]

the limiting to less than 100% is exactly if u do stuff like this

[leaden grotto]

ahh ok

so i can leave it plugged in and it will bypass the battery

[tidal geyser]

up to laptop

[rigid fjord]

@tidal geyser what you think dude, scam?

[serene pumice]

It kinda blew my mind when I Discovered Sony Smartphones has the option to bypass the battery

[tidal geyser]

seems fine

[alpine heron]

Depends on the sales. Couple weeks ago saw the 165hz ones going below 100usd

[tidal geyser]

it is a what 3 year old gpu now

[rigid fjord]

4070 card, so around a year old

[serene pumice]

haha yeah, we had such a deal during Amazon Prime Day in Sweden , but usually it's at least twice the cost

[tidal geyser]

2

The RTX 4070 was then released on April 13, 2023 at $599 US MSRP.

[rigid fjord]

seems to good to be true on there

[tidal geyser]

i wonder when hbomber is going to revive

not really

its the performance of a 3080 ti about

a card i swear has gone for like 300-350

[loud plinth]

Need advice on wifi

[tulip helm]

No idea how but my cable wasnt plugged in correctly and that somehow cancelled out voices and not music

[cold skiff]

I mean it’s a 4070. It’s worth about that

[tidal geyser]

ok?

[fringe sigil]

Yo, js a quick question. When daisy chaining the fans, do I need to pay attention to the fan headers voltage? I attached 4 12V 0.25A to my fan header that supports 12V × 2A. Will the voltage be a problem, or is it because they're in sequence it wont?

[rigid fjord]

yeston though, and being a sakura model, still feels a little fishy

[tidal geyser]

no

[fringe sigil]

So voltage isn't a problem?

[exotic cape]

if grey bars, bad wifi. if full white. good wifi.

[tidal geyser]

you will not be overloading the fans

[tidal geyser]

voltage is always the same no matter what on desktop fans

[loud plinth]

I have Asus zen wifi pro ET12 wifi 6e quad band died on me customer service won’t help.

I’m planning to get wifi 7 quad brand I was looking at the Tplink be95 is that a good option ?

I seen Netgear is expensive.

Asus quad band lacks 2.5GB

I have fiber connection

[tidal geyser]

every

body

loves

it

when you talk like this

[tidal geyser]

do you have a over 1gig internet plan?

[loud plinth]

Yes and budget max is 1.1K

I spent 900 on the Asus 2 years ago

[exotic cape]

1,1k is alot on a router right?

or nothing

[tidal geyser]

if its nok then its fine

[exotic cape]

depends on currency

[loud plinth]

Last one I spent 900 was worth it.

[tidal geyser]

but a high end AP with spectral scanning is like 300

[exotic cape]

even when its nok its a little bit low.

[tidal geyser]

and it even has a 10gig port

[loud plinth]

Didn’t last had issues after year 1

I love the mesh systems

[tidal geyser]

just get the ubiquiti XGS 7

smn

[gloomy sleet]

thats a good deal for the gpu alone

idk about using that with a 3600 though

[tidal geyser]

https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-wifi/products/u7-pro-xgs

[latent pasture]

not as bad as ud think

[sweet igloo]

corsair cx550
good?

[tidal geyser]

no

[latent pasture]

what price

[tidal geyser]

cx550 is just bad

[sweet igloo]

can you give me a reason why

[gloomy sleet]

isnt it B tier?

[tidal geyser]

higher wattage

[tidal geyser]

its just shitty group regulated garbage

[loud plinth]

That’s a single router won’t cover my large house I would have to buy multiples

[tidal geyser]

yea

[latent pasture]

its either C or B depending on year

[sweet igloo]

huh

[gloomy sleet]

yeah the cx is c for the old ones and b for the new ones

[tidal geyser]

just get a a550bn

[gloomy sleet]

i dont see an issue with those?

[gloomy sleet]

those a c tier

[sweet igloo]

i am not going for gaming pc

[gloomy sleet]

what

[tidal geyser]

well yes

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

the cx is b tier assuming the newer models

at worst c tier

[tidal geyser]

no its not????????

[gloomy sleet]

it is

[tidal geyser]

are you blind

[gloomy sleet]

are you?

[latent pasture]

its the older models that are better lol

thats cxf

[tidal geyser]

you fucking idiot

[gloomy sleet]

really i thought f was the newer one

[latent pasture]

theres cx
cxm
cxf
and all 3 have different sub variants on year

[tidal geyser]

also that is the cx-f???

[gloomy sleet]

corsair moment

[gloomy sleet]

tf is this

[tidal geyser]

you are using the list that has not been updated in 2 years

[tidal geyser]

the actual PSU tier list

[gloomy sleet]

what list do you want me to use

[tidal geyser]

the one people here have been using for the past year

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/htmlview?pli=1#gid=1973454078

[gloomy sleet]

literally never seen that in my entire life

[latent pasture]

cxf is still b
but the psu in question wasnt cxf in the first place

[tidal geyser]

its also rgb

[exotic cape]

since when did acer do these?

[tidal geyser]

wtf

[gloomy sleet]

are electric bikes even legal where you are

[tidal geyser]

yes

[sweet igloo]

what are you talking about rn tho

[exotic cape]

as long as they dont go over 20kmh

[tidal geyser]

4642

[exotic cape]

[tidal geyser]

you are not great at cropping

[latent pasture]

unrelated but my sticklegs can do 20kmh on an mtb

[gloomy sleet]

how much is that in not norwegian currency actually

[exotic cape]

better?

[latent pasture]

then i collapse from exhaustion

[tidal geyser]

1k USD

[gloomy sleet]

dang

[sweet igloo]

so a550bn is like one of the best 550w things right

[gloomy sleet]

unrelated but all electric bikes here are completely illegal

[latent pasture]

man just send what store ur buying from so we can choose

[latent pasture]

shouldnt they just class it as motorcycle

[gloomy sleet]

no

[latent pasture]

then allow it

[tidal geyser]

not best but cheap

[gloomy sleet]

electric motorcycles are also illegal

[sweet igloo]

close enough

[gloomy sleet]

electrically powered 2 wheeled bikes

[latent pasture]

so they enforce pollution

[gloomy sleet]

yes

its better then making electric bikes legal tbf

[exotic cape]

they can max go 20kmh, you must have insurance and you must be over 12 to use them.

[gloomy sleet]

same with scooters

[latent pasture]

why whats wrong with them?

[tidal geyser]

what is wrong with electric bikes

[latent pasture]

theyre literally just motorcycles but slower

treat them with motorcycle laws

[tidal geyser]

the insurance part is a pain

[gloomy sleet]

nothing stopping a petrol scooter

[gloomy sleet]

no they arent.

[latent pasture]

yes they are

[exotic cape]

and if you use a E kick bike while having been drinking you will loose your car license

[gloomy sleet]

no they arent

[latent pasture]

broh a 2 wheeled powered vehicle what do u call that

[gloomy sleet]

depends

[latent pasture]

a motor does the cycling

[tidal geyser]

does it have a engine or not

[latent pasture]

it does, just electric

[tidal geyser]

yus

[gloomy sleet]

electric bikes when they were legal were allowed to ride on public footpaths unlike motorbikes

they didnt require a helmet they didnt require a license they had right of way in every scenario

[latent pasture]

ye instead of just banning them, just treat them as motorbikes
banning them juts seems bad

[tidal geyser]

why not have dedicated bike roads instead

[gloomy sleet]

they were being used too often for stealing phones

[gloomy sleet]

we do

[latent pasture]

u lost a form of economical transpo ppl use
was this law made by gasoline lobbyists

[gloomy sleet]

bikes arent legally required to use them

[tidal geyser]

most of the ones i see are mopeds

[latent pasture]

im 990% sure this law was made by gas lobbyists

[gloomy sleet]

so they just dont 99% of the time

[tidal geyser]

but its more so just people being idiots

[gloomy sleet]

no it was passed in a public petition

[latent pasture]

there cannot be a reason that they couldnt just be treated as motorbikes, because they literally are

just electric instead of gas

[gloomy sleet]

bike activists protested against that

[tidal geyser]

no shit

[latent pasture]

paid by gas lobbyists

[gloomy sleet]

no

[latent pasture]

yes

[gloomy sleet]

you cant lobby the general public tf

[tidal geyser]

and oil companies paid to get the law passed

[gloomy sleet]

it had 600k signatures

[latent pasture]

of gas lobbyistees

[gloomy sleet]

it wasnt gas lobbyist bruh

it was people who had their shit stolen by people on electric bikes mostly

[latent pasture]

what possible explanation did they have that they couldnt just recategorize it as motorbike then make it drive only on roads not bike paths

[gloomy sleet]

electric bike riders had 80% more crimes commited per 100 bikes then any other form of personal transportation

[gloomy sleet]

the cyclist protested the government when they did this

[tidal geyser]

why not just make dedicated bike paths and not allow bikes on some places

also maybe teach people to not hold out their phones like they want it stolen

[gloomy sleet]

they were going to make them the same legal status as motorbikes but the people who were riding on the bikes protested against that

[gloomy sleet]

shut the fuck up

what a fucking stupid thing to say

[exotic cape]

spicy reaction

[tidal geyser]

i feel like you have gotten yours stolen

[gloomy sleet]

i got my phone stolen out of my pocket from a guy in an electric scooter once

[exotic cape]

probably living in an uncivilized society.

[gloomy sleet]

london is tbf

[exotic cape]

AH

theres your issue

[tidal geyser]

what did he do stop look at you take your phone slowly out of your pocket and slowly get away while you watched

[gloomy sleet]

no he rode past took the phone and then scooted off

he was going atleast 30kmh

[tidal geyser]

tf kinda pockets do you have

[gloomy sleet]

it was a hoodie

whatever this is irrelevant

[gloomy sleet]

cyclist protested against this

[tidal geyser]

what

[gloomy sleet]

wdym what

cyclist as in people who ride bikes protested against this

in doing so forced the government to allow them on any public property what so ever

[tidal geyser]

they do not want clean good pavement not damaged by cars with more direct paths to big places?

[gloomy sleet]

they do

but they also wanted to be allowed on regular foot paths and roads

half the cyclists i see dont even use bike lanes

[tidal geyser]

are there even any

[gloomy sleet]

there are

[latent pasture]

inb4 the bike lanes r just the side of the road with a line

[gloomy sleet]

all over england

[tidal geyser]

right where you were looking

[gloomy sleet]

theres a bike lane on every road of my town

[carmine yew]

https://tenor.com/view/brick-wall-simon-brick-wall-gif-22154833

[latent pasture]

when people say bike lanes they usually think an entire network of roads only bikes can use separate from cars

[carmine yew]

since when?

[tidal geyser]

wat

[latent pasture]

this isnt a bike lane its called a bicycle ditch

or gutter

[tidal geyser]

bike lanes most places are used for walking and by the ambulance or firetruck

[latent pasture]

this is where you park your car or store ice and trash off roads to make it more convenient for cars

[gloomy sleet]

picture of a bike lane in london

[tidal geyser]

netherlands

[latent pasture]

i meant cars as in general traffic

[gloomy sleet]

that entire mini road in between the main road and the pavement is only for bikes

you cant walk on it outside of crossing the road either

bikes are allowed to be on any part of this picture

theyre allowed to be on the bike lane the pavement and the road if they want

they get right of way over pedestrians and cars

heres the map if your interested

[gloomy sleet]

that is exactly what it is

ONLY pedal bikes are allowed on there

outside of people crossing the lane

[young crest]

If it was America everyone there would be crushed by a raised F150 with truck nuts

[gloomy sleet]

an f150 wouldnt even fit on a regular car here ngl

[gloomy sleet]

this road is a 40mph (or 20mph in central and north london) road

[young crest]

The British accent makes that hard to understand so I will go 70

[gloomy sleet]

in rural parts of the country it would be a 60mph road

or a country lane

[sleek ibex]

Even if we could..... It will never happen

[brave brook]

in my country they are planning to solve it by simple rule. Anything else than a pedestrian on a footpath will be limited to average high speed of pedestrian, that is 6km/h. Pedestrians running/walking fast can go faster than that, but bikes/scooters/hoverboards etc can't. Want go faster ? Use the bike lane or road

[abstract wigeon]

any thunks?

[gloomy sleet]

we tried that here

but cyclist protested against that

[latent pasture]

try it on a different pc/ pcie slot

[brave brook]

right now the rule is "reasonable speed", now they are changing it to specific speed. So the law isn't changing that much. Also cyclist lobby doesn't exist here, and certainly won't be taken into account by the current administration 😄

[gloomy sleet]

it isnt a lobby

[gloomy sleet]

cyclist just decide to block off roads and public buildings like libraries hospitals and post offices when they dont get their way here

[latent pasture]

based

[solid quail]

Did some inventory recently. Don't have many graphics cards left anymore. Gotten rid of quite a few

There used to be like seven 1050tis plus some rx 470s, 480s and 570s

[gloomy sleet]

crazy

[gloomy sleet]

an 8490 is crazy

[latent pasture]

you need crazy when ur competition is 100 billion $$ lobby

what do u think they should do when they have no money

significant part of the reason dutch have walkable cyclable cities is bc they striaght up destroyed cars

[solid quail]

It's a good card for its use case

Purely a display adapter

[random gyro]

littreally I dont think anyone gonna get those cards

most of the people do gaming and stuff

[gloomy sleet]

no the competition is the general public

no gas company lobbied for that

that was a public petition

this one had like 800k signatures

[hot heart]

i refound my first gpu

it was a 512mb card

[gloomy sleet]

my first was like 64mb iirc

not including the home computer

[sleek ibex]

Mine had 2mb

[gloomy sleet]

my first home computer had 1mb

[sleek ibex]

486 era?

[exotic cape]

I'm not sure, but i think Samsung wants me to buy a Freestyle.

[gloomy sleet]

i had no clue

[sleek ibex]

1mb sounds about right back when VLB was a thing and the most balling CPUs were 486s

VLB - Vesa Local Bus

[tidal geyser]

Mine is just filled with Aliexpress shipping updates

[gloomy sleet]

idk linux guy seems cool

[whole garden]

[rigid fjord]

let me guess, stored stupidly in the back pocket

[livid mason]

I've adopted homelabbing as something more than running Minecraft servers 🥹

[gloomy sleet]

no im my hand in my hoodie pocket

[rigid fjord]

i pick option 3

[gloomy sleet]

the immediate blaming of the victim is crazy though

[worn willow]

1

[gloomy sleet]

same

[rigid fjord]

not really, putting anything other than loose change in the back pocket gives to much easy advantages to pickpockets

[gloomy sleet]

that or aliexpress notifications of some random shit deal

[gloomy sleet]

it wasnt in my back pocket

it was in my hoodie pocket in my hand

[worn willow]

for me my phone every place a ad can show
the ad is fold 7

[gloomy sleet]

even if it was in my back pocket that doesnt defend theft

thats like saying stealing a car with the door unlocked isnt a crime

[daring crystal]

That's annoying

[worn willow]

and the point is
i dont want fold 7

[daring crystal]

I hate how Samsung ads are native on the phones by default

[worn willow]

but

i have a motorola

but somehow it still decides to force me to get fold 7

[fringe sigil]

The GPU here is detected right?

[wet ember]

For how much yall think I can sell this for? I was thinking $40

[fringe sigil]

Just cuz it doesn't write 5070 idk

Of its actually detected

[tidal geyser]

Are you plugged into the GPU?

[fringe sigil]

Yeah

That automatically means it's good?

[tidal geyser]

Do you think it's working then?

[tidal geyser]

Well you are only in the bios

[wet ember]

@fringe sigil is your display cable plugged into the GPU or motherboard

[fringe sigil]

So I can't know for sure? There's a VGA red light on? That just means I didn't put windows in it?

[fringe sigil]

GPU

[tidal geyser]

What

[wet ember]

It's good

[tidal geyser]

I already asked?

[wet ember]

Aight

[tidal geyser]

Why have you still not installed windows

[wet ember]

Didn't see that mate

[fringe sigil]

There's a red light on VGA, just making sure it doesn't mean I have a GPU issue

[tidal geyser]

Just install windows

It's been what 3-4+ hrs

[fringe sigil]

It's a work in progress, I just finished putting it in the case

[fringe sigil]

I'm taking extra care

Again, the red light in VGA doesn't mean my GPUs cooked or anything?

[tidal geyser]

Omg

[slim lake]

i've only gotten white ones

[gloomy sleet]

$40-$50 max

[fringe sigil]

Js making sure

[tidal geyser]

Just install windows

[slim lake]

make sure you have two different cables connecting to the gpu and not one cable

with an extra large connector thin

[gloomy sleet]

ill buy it for £30

[fringe sigil]

Ik I alr did that

[slim lake]

so u got two cables connecting to gpu?

just making sure

[fringe sigil]

With the nvidia connector

[rigid fjord]

it's not about blaming the victim, it's about ensuring that if any one tries, that they have a harder time/makes it completely pointless when it comes to them trying anything

[slim lake]

make sure top fans are exhaust

[fringe sigil]

They're exhaust

[slim lake]

i accidentally made them intakes

[fringe sigil]

And side are intake

[slim lake]

so it created a heat cycle

50 celsius after watching freaking youtube

[fringe sigil]

Dang

Nah I took care and put then the right way on

[slim lake]

but now it's sitting around 30

i built my pc before i got my first phone so there was no way i could ask anyone on this server

made a couple of mistakes

[carmine light]

why does it say my "gpu core output power" spiked to 555 watts

[solid quail]

These i am planning to keep. Maybe apart from the 1660super. That thing would pair okay with the b150 mobo I have lying around

[tidal geyser]

It's fine

[wet ember]

I just have an unnecessary amount of keyboards. 2 keyboards is enough

[slim lake]

do u have a 4k wallpaper or smth?

high res wallpaper

[carmine light]

no i dont change my wallpaper

[tidal geyser]

4 old as balls cores in 2025 is not good

[slim lake]

default windows?

[carmine light]

yes

[tidal geyser]

Are you using hwmonitor

[slim lake]

the dark windows 11 wallpaper is so good i never changed it either

[cosmic lance]

My gpu fan wont spin

[slim lake]

replace it

[carmine light]

the one that changes the background every day or something

[tidal geyser]

It's meant to do that

[slim lake]

ebay has a lot of gpu fans

find ur model

unless u have prebuilt then ur cooked

[solid quail]

Should be fine enough if I list the machine for 300 bucks. Most rigs in that price range in my area are some sandy bridge shits with a 1060

[tidal geyser]

Why is the first thing you go to is replace

[cosmic lance]

No, when it doesnt spin, it doesnt display anything, it happened multiple times before and fixed them by pure luck

[slim lake]

OH

[slim lake]

plug monitor into gpu make sure

[tidal geyser]

Reseat the GPU

[slim lake]

wow my grammar has gotten worse

[tidal geyser]

Replugin the GPU power connector

[cosmic lance]

Im scared, its the familly pc and scared to break it

[slim lake]

repurchase gpu

[tidal geyser]

300 is what a like 5 3600 and 6600 pc costs to make

[cosmic lance]

Imma slap the shi outta the pc then it should work

[slim lake]

just say it broke

[tidal geyser]

No pc for you then

[slim lake]

bro u don't have much to lose if it won't work

worst case: it won't work

[cosmic lance]

Its less than 300 what are you on about

But the gpu led works

[slim lake]

bru

[slim lake]

make sure that monitor hdmi/displayport is connected to the gpu and not the motherboard

[cosmic lance]

Its like asking me to breath daily

I inow it is plugged into the gpu

*know

[left dove]

Youd be surprised at how many people mess that up

[neon oasis]

I have been out of the loop for 4 years since I bought my PC, has DDR5 (plus the required motherboard) become a better bang-per-buck compared to DDR4?

[eternal cave]

sorry if this is a dumb question but im a win 10 user i really want to use and like arch but i heard its breakable so as a long win10-11 user should i use arch or idk

[tidal geyser]

Well it's up to you

[tidal geyser]

Ddr4 has stoped production

[cosmic lance]

It cant be

NOOOOOOOO my precious ddr4

[neon oasis]

if I am building a high-end pc (4k gaming and ML) around the middle of 2026, and usually dont change hardware for 4 years, is opting for a DDR5 motherboard the only logical choice?

[bitter crater]

dafuq, im getting access denied when going to microsoft website to download windows 11

[random gyro]

rate my oreo ahh build

[neon oasis]

right now I am using 2x32 ballistix 3200MHz CL18 RAM, and it is generally fine (does the job, could use more speed)
i thought I would just move them to the new build and buying a ddr4 mobo

[eternal cave]

what do u think in ur opinion

[random gyro]

im gonna get a 24 pin white extension and keep the cpu and gpu cables the same

[tidal geyser]

It's ML??

[tidal geyser]

Up to you

My needs are 100% different

[tidal geyser]

If there is one thing ML loves it's speed

VRAM is ofc more

[sinful cobalt]

high end typically means the latest and greatest

the non typically is that guy with a 4k240hz oled complaining why his 1050ti build wont launch the game

[left dove]

Oh did it finally

Might pick up a 64 gig kit before it gets stupid pricey

[grizzled frost]

time to buy 2.5tb of ddr4 before it sells out

[neon oasis]

I dont play any RAM-intensive games, so for my case, I am more focused on capacity over speed after satisying decent speed specs

[left dove]

based, not bad

[sinful cobalt]

…….

[left dove]

My guy having fast ram makes everything perform better

[sinful cobalt]

we have cpu and gpu intensive games

now ram intensive? dud is talking MSFS or some shit like minecraft with like 2000 mods

or he’s macroing 2000 roblox accounts

[left dove]

lets fucking gooooo

[neon oasis]

I meant CPU intensive, which would be more bottlenecked by RAM than GPU intensive games

[grizzled frost]

ram speed is what would affect cpu performance if anything

[left dove]

Sets don't you laugh at me

my poor 10850k needs more ram

[neon oasis]

at 3200MHz CL18 I am already getting 100+ fps on the games I play at 4k native (not AI enhanced) resolution
sure there are a couple of poorly optimized games that mighnt perform as well, but I think a better GPU would MUCH better resolve this than better RAM

[left dove]

new ram, new monitor wall mounts, things be coming together nicely :D

[grizzled frost]

one of these days i’ll upgrade my new server to 512gb of ram

that would put me at more than a terabyte of ram in my rack

[left dove]

tbh I really just need the 64gb for DCS

otherwise my current 32 just gets swallowed by just the map files and everything else gets dumped to fuckin' page

[grizzled frost]

most i’ve ever used in a game was 38gb and that was with one of these largest satisfactory saves in existence

[sleek ibex]

[sharp ivy]

I messed that up once

[left dove]

I mean I also frequently run like, sims 4, second life, dozens of chrome tabs, etcetc all at once

[grizzled frost]

even i’m not that adhd

[sharp ivy]

I might need more RAM for my gaming pc

[inland canopy]

I have 14 gigs of mem available (2 gigs for vram because igpu) and I somehow always stay below 60% usage even though I have like God knows how many apps open at the same time with three different browsers

each one serves a purpose

[grizzled frost]

probably pushing the less used apps to the page file instead of keeping it in memory

[sharp ivy]

I run beamng on half the minimum RAM requirements and still get 100 FPS

[inland canopy]

I don't have swap enabled on arch so not sure

[left dove]

Of course you use arch.

[inland canopy]

it's a thinkpad of course ill have Linux on it /s

[sharp ivy]

I'm typing this from my 2009 Msi CR600 running linux XFCE

[inland canopy]

Although I go past that when I have too many consoles open

Which are usually text files in vim

[tiny rover]

what other specs?

[left dove]

Kinda glad I'm not running 5 displays anymore though

[inland canopy]

this is scratching my itch of getting a 32inch monitor

[left dove]

43", 32", and a 24"

[rigid fjord]

almost sounds like a chinese order

[sharp ivy]

I7-7700K, ASUS GTX 1060 OC Edition, 8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200MHZ, ASrock Z270 Pro 4 Mobo, 240GB SSD, 1TB HDD, HEC 600w PSU, ABS Vortex Leo2 Case, Thermaltake Gravity i2 CPU cooler

[tiny rover]

cus beamng got optimized in the last 2-3 years and my pc that has below minimum requirements specs runs it at 60fps normal settings

[left dove]

my casual order at subway once-monthly

[inland canopy]

Atm I have two 24" monitors, trying to sell them on fb marketplace to get a 32

[tiny rover]

beamng uses more gpu and CPU than ram now i think

[rigid fjord]

more cpu cores, but with that it'll use more ram

[left dove]

Old setup- don't do it it's so not worth

[inland canopy]

My setup looks dull by comparison, this is ultra crazy
Linus gotta see this pic

[bitter crater]

so chaotic, all screens with different sizes

[inland canopy]

That plane on the wall, I have a shirt with that exact graphics

I lost it somewhere in the attic, but it's the same

[left dove]

Welcome to issues w/ object permanence!

[sharp ivy]

Yes but the minimum stated requirements are 16gb ram and I have 8

very noice

[inland canopy]

Oh shit
didn't recognize it

cool

[sharp ivy]

This is my workbench

[earnest nymph]

Im really fucking confused rn

[sharp ivy]

Has a bit more stuff on it now

[left dove]

I have an a-10 one around here too

[sharp ivy]

Cool!

[left dove]

displate has a lotta cool shit

[earnest nymph]

Should i go rx 9070xt or 5070ti for blender, unity and figma

[left dove]

5070

[earnest nymph]

But the 9070xt is soo much CHEAPER

[clear canyon]

😭

[left dove]

Do you want/need cuda

[earnest nymph]

What do they do

And do they matter

[clear canyon]

Yes

[left dove]

Go google if your workloads need/can use cuda for acceleration

[tiny rover]

is that xbox still alive or its just a decoration

[earnest nymph]

Im still a beginner in both

[latent pasture]

how many cars tho

[earnest nymph]

And my gtx 1650 cannot handle it

[clear canyon]

50

[sharp ivy]

Here we go, me getting insulted for not having $3000 to drop on a gaming system...

[sharp ivy]

Still alive

[tiny rover]

roast my setup

[earnest nymph]

No, no were not. I have a gtx 1650. I AM A BUDGET BALLER

[tiny rover]

thats impressive ngl, isnt it like 20yrs old?

[sharp ivy]

It's not that old

[earnest nymph]

The pc ngl it has alot of office vibes

[sharp ivy]

mine's a slim

[earnest nymph]

Not that bad

[clear canyon]

Im not insulting, its just in need for an update for gaming lol

[left dove]

dw I only spent like $1100 max- the only thing I bought new was the 32"

The used market really does work wonders

[sharp ivy]

Good PC case, epic speakers and well lit

[bitter crater]

that monitor looks so small next to those speakers

[earnest nymph]

Not really. It can still handle gaming

[latent pasture]

i mean u really only need a 2nd stick of ram

[clear canyon]

Not anything modern

[sharp ivy]

I don't play any AAA games

[gloomy sleet]

what even is there to roast

[tiny rover]

those speakers are just very big

[latent pasture]

even if capacity isnt an issue, being dual channel has extremely outsized gains for d4

[left dove]

Is that laminate "stone" or actual rock there on the right?

[latent pasture]

2 sticksof 2133 beats 4000+mhz oc single stick

[gloomy sleet]

why do you have a picture of a rabbit infront of your monitor

[sharp ivy]

I got it as an update from my 8 year old dell xps laptop I got for free

[gloomy sleet]

also why is the monitor on a book

[tiny rover]

its a cabbit

[gloomy sleet]

idk

[left dove]

a rare being, like the jackalope

[gloomy sleet]

looks like a rabbit to me

[left dove]

It's a cabbit.

[tiny rover]

because my monitor is low

[gloomy sleet]

picture is in like 240p so i genuinely cant see

[gloomy sleet]

fair

[left dove]

Have you considered a monitor arm?

[gloomy sleet]

you could get a height adjustable stand for it though i recon

[gloomy sleet]

thats funny

[sharp ivy]

It's not bad

[gloomy sleet]

10/10 setup

[tiny rover]

it probably costs more than my monitor lol

[tiny rover]

thanks 🙂

[sharp ivy]

these screenshots are really low res tho

[left dove]

There's ones for like, $30

[clear canyon]

I would honestly get a newer gpu to play those games at a higher setting w/ fps

[rigid fjord]

screenception going on almost there

[tiny rover]

my monitor was 15 dollars

[gloomy sleet]

you can get a monitor arm for like £10

[sharp ivy]

I have it capped, that's why the fps is low

[latent pasture]

id start with 2nd stick of ram for $10 first

[sharp ivy]

my gpu is at like 60% usage on snowrunner

[left dove]

Somebody wanted "proof of it being real" and that was enough for them i guess

[latent pasture]

cuz the cpu is being stressed handling the ram paging

so the gpu sits around doing nothing

[rigid fjord]

still love the scematics there tbh

[left dove]

I want more

displate kinda expensive tho

[lyric horizon]

im stuck between wanting to use my gaming machine and run my servers in a hyper-v VM or if i want to keep my proxmox cluster. the issue is electricity. I leave my gaming computer on as i do stream games from it when im not home but currently because of all the computers in my proxmox cluster my avg speed to that computer is 200mbps (on a 1.25gb business internet).... so im thinking of switching over to save on electricity and increase bandwith to my computer (dual nice with one being dedicated to hyper-v).

[rigid fjord]

i need to redo my walls again, but effort

[sharp ivy]

I knew I needed to upgrade the RAM when I bought it

[left dove]

I really want several various prints from these guys https://www.flightglobalimages.com/rights-managed/cutaways/cutaway-posters/bell-oh-58d-kiowa-warrior-cutaway-poster-4228677.html

[sharp ivy]

The whole PC was $299CAD

so I'm not complaining

[gloomy sleet]

id honestly recommend selling one and then saving for a new 32

[latent pasture]

15 cad for potentially +30% perf seems worth it

[gloomy sleet]

having 2 monitors is just plain better ngl

[gloomy sleet]

prime example of a setup that does in fact need 2 monitors

[rigid fjord]

nope, prime example of needing cable management

[gloomy sleet]

it does need that fair

[left dove]

Cable management is so mid

[inland canopy]

Embrace the mess

Fuck cable management

[left dove]

Just get the bulk of it out of eyesight, who cares

[sharp ivy]

My workbench has 2 monitors and a tiny tv

[rigid fjord]

nope

[left dove]

Yup

[rigid fjord]

[coarse minnow]

Hello everyone, i was looking for help. Is there a way i can fix this?

[sharp ivy]

[gloomy sleet]

[coarse minnow]

I want to use rest of my harddrive

[latent pasture]

[rigid fjord]

redow the drive using rufus/ventoy/wmct

[gloomy sleet]

right click the unnalocated space and format it

[delicate zodiac]

is DEEPCOOL CG530 good for 60$ (room for cable management etc)

[inland canopy]

[coarse minnow]
