[iron glen]

Dusting the pc every now and then pays off ig

[stark kiln]

True but I found a 100$ 170hz 1440p monitor and I play CS2 a lot

[austere cargo]

okay thank you so much

[stark kiln]

• I can always set my resolution to 1080p or use FSR I don't mind it

[rigid fjord]

don't most cs2 players play at like 1280 x 1024 res instead while having their face plastered to the monitor?

[iron glen]

The pros do

Your average joe from some siberian village is playing on his magic oven at like 700p

[stark kiln]

Lol I did same at CSGO till my i5-7200u laptop couldn't run CS2 so yeah I'll do both depends

[rigid fjord]

average cs2 player be like

[stark kiln]

I'm from NA so if I can I become that stereotypical mad Russian just so my teammates can have a rare experience

[bitter crater]

how else do you smell your enemies?

[stark kiln]

I got 200 hours of staring like this after a 10:13 loss on Mirage cause of 300 ping

[exotic cape]

im not sure why i expected a bigger jump.

[iron glen]

I saw a clip from some tournament earlier where the commentators were making fun of the poor guy 😭

[rigid fjord]

you don't, you reach out at a mile away with a quiet sniper rifle

[iron glen]

Or just onetap them trough long doors

Either works

[rigid fjord]

battlefield is better tbh

[stark kiln]

Or if you are eco and hate Scout you grab a Negev/Mag 10 and push Mid while your team flashes

[rigid fjord]

you blow them up with the building they're hiding in

[stark kiln]

Yeah but is it Competitive?

Like XQC wants it to?

[iron glen]

Idk i love the cs casual / fortnite random queue experience

[rigid fjord]

highly, like 16 vs 16/32 vs 32

[stark kiln]

(speaking as I own 2042, BF1, <- (💜 )owned BF3, and Owning BF4)

[iron glen]

Usually some squeaker you can get fuming if you throw hard enough

[stark kiln]

Waiting till my PC in October to play them all maybe even BF6 when it's on sale

[rigid fjord]

2042 is the biggest letdown for battlefield tbh

[stark kiln]

EA loves to sale off battlefield which is good for me

[stark kiln]

I played it before. I like it idk why people hate

Maybe it's cause I'm just not a picky gamer

[rigid fjord]

if you've fully gone through bf3,4 and hardlines you'd understand why tbh

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/out-of-touch-principal-skinner-ea-electronic-arts-the-simpsons-gif-10333712

[rigid fjord]

remember EA's motto dude?

[trail patio]

if the case fits an atx motherboard does that mean itll fit an atx psu

[rigid fjord]

no but also yes

[exotic cape]

GPU oc did almost nothing.

[iron glen]

Probably

[trail patio]

😭

[tired bear]

what is your perfcap reason?

[solid grotto]

What XMP setting should I have 4 sticks of XPG Lancer RGB 16GB 6000Mhz DDR5 set too? Or is xmp not worth it?

[ebon ibex]

is the ryzen 5 9600x a good cpu if not is there a better option?

[tired bear]

depends on a price you pay

[rigid fjord]

depends on country and market, if you're in the uk, a 7600/7600x is a way better option over the 9600x

[graceful meadow]

So im planing to build a pc next month. What gpu would u guys recommend for a budget of 500. Planning to do streaming with no fps loss, and also play every game on decent high graphics and multitasking

[ebon ibex]

they are basically same price here

[trail patio]

what are some of your recommendations on 160mm psus? anything £100 or less is fine for me

[tired bear]

interesting choice of a highest performance chip and shittiest possible mobo

[graceful meadow]

What mobo should i get? Thought its decent

[rigid fjord]

you should be using 2x 32gb 6000 cl30 instead to have them run at xmp speeds, using 4 sticks means you won't be able to run them at their xmp profile, and you'll have to manually tune them, if you're lucky you might get 5200 cl40

[iron glen]

Rauko what do you think of my new pc build
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bkX4fd

[rigid fjord]

i know this is a joke build

[solid grotto]

Ah well fair enough I barely pass 4500. But it isn’t the biggest deal

[iron glen]

Wrong joke build my bad

[iron glen]

Can't find it rn but its basically the same thing but with a 7kUSD gpu

[honest scarab]

i want to clone my current main windows drive when i get my new drive, what type of software do yall recommend i use for that?

[cursive pendant]

Anyone here resell PCs and thinks its worth it as a lil side hustle

[rigid fjord]

don't, instead if you have more than 1 m.2 slot or are adding in a sata ssd, just transfer over games/other stuff to it, and clear up your main drive

[honest scarab]

my current main windows drive is a sata ssd, i wanna clone it to a new m.2 drive im getting

[rigid fjord]

@tidal geyser does, and i used to, but it isn't just reselling them as they are, it's more respecing them to make them more worth it

[honest scarab]

the sata ssd is like really cheap and shit thats why im cloning

[cursive pendant]

Like buying used parts from eBay, putting together a build, listing it on fb marketplace, ebay, and maybe jawa but ik they take a hefty fee

[rigid fjord]

disconnect the sata one and just install windows cleanly onto it, by the time you try cloning windows to the drive you'd have been quicker off doing a fresh clean install

[exotic cape]

so i went from roughly 300-400fps during this scene to around 800-900fps.

not bad not bad.

[iron glen]

Tomorrowland..?

[rigid fjord]

you would also need to scower through the local free-ads/craigslist also, and depending on the parts you're not going to make a high amount of profit

[exotic cape]

defqon 2019 stage.

[iron glen]

Ah

[honest scarab]

i mean yea maybe but i just dont wanna go through the hassle of setting up everything i already have set up again i just wanna clone it

[rigid fjord]

9/10 cloning fails tbh

[ivory mountain]

fellow rdna 2 user ❤️

[cursive pendant]

Would you say its worth it?

[rigid fjord]

if you don't know your local market, and the likelyhood of maintaining the ability for even minor profit, nope, not worth it

[plush heron]

Would such setup for a build be good?

[exotic cape]

still struggles when there is a 46 minute show file, but that is most likely down to software limitations.

[kindred halo]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FGcJ4p

Clicked add from filter for everything, this was the result

[rigid fjord]

@cursive pendantalso with facebook you're competing with the "i know what i got" kind of people who try to sell tech as if it's brand new especially when it's not

[cursive pendant]

I mean I was gonna plan to find like mobo/cpu/ram deals on ebay and get most of the parts from eBay. The buying part shouldn't really be an issue, it's just scowering for good deals which is something I do a lot lol. I'm just worried nobody will buy the computer lol. I mean is a 100-$150 profit on each computer reasonable or like whats the average profit margins?

[strange atlas]

Is Lexar NM710 good compared to kioxia exceria plus g3

both of them are ssd

[austere cargo]

guys there’s like black foamy things covering some pins and i need one of the pins for something can i take the black thing off

[tired bear]

take a photo of it

[austere cargo]

i need both i think

for my aio

[tired bear]

yea those are probably left over from manufacturing

[austere cargo]

okay lemme try and take it off

[rigid fjord]

you'd be more likely looking at a $50 profit margin

[cursive pendant]

Really? How come? Is it the parts or like it wont sell and you gotta drop the price?

[rigid fjord]

it's small margins you're working with, not some grand profit gains

[azure totem]

hi hi

[empty quartz]

Hear me out

[carmine yew]

Unless you find screaming deals, turning 100+ profit will be hard

[cursive pendant]

Damn its that bad out there lmao?

[empty quartz]

2017 macbook 12” with 16gb of ram, 512gb ssd, and i7

[empty quartz]

Or an m5 macbook 12”

[carmine yew]

You'll be listing stuff on the same platforms you'll find the deals on

So why would someone pay you 100+ more than they can get the same deals

[cursive pendant]

How much do you think this PC should cost?

i7-10700F
RTX 3080
MSI B460M PRO-VDH WIFI
Corsair RM750x PSU
16GB DDR4 RAM
1tb HDD + 480gb SSD

[rigid fjord]

500-550 at best

[carmine yew]

Maybe 600 at most

[rigid fjord]

and that's primarily just due to the 3080

[azure topaz]

this is always the goal

buying on ebay won’t sell for any profit they’re absolutely right

go for good local deals, accept trades

if it’s not 25$+ off market value it probably won’t make you much money

(each part)*

[cursive pendant]

Yeah fs, its my setup right now and I kinda wanna sell the cpu, mobo, ram, and case.
I'm tryna take the 3080, 750 watt psu, and my drives and throw it in another PC. I have never built a gaming pc before, I've only bought a prebuilt like 5 years ago, upgraded the psu + gpu and thats it lol. But I've always wanted to build my own.

[azure topaz]

you could sell the board cpu and ram all at once in a bundle

or bundle it with the case but people usually don’t want a case

[cursive pendant]

Right thats what I was thinking lol

[azure topaz]

quickest way it’ll sell locally but you’ll make the least amount of money

[cursive pendant]

Yeah no might aswell get a cheap one for $40 on amazon. I might just sell it for like $20-25 just to get something out of it ig

[rigid fjord]

the 3080 is worth 300-400 on it's own tbh

[azure topaz]

his

[cursive pendant]

Honestly I was thinking of getting rid of the 3080, getting a3060 ti, downgrading from 1440p to 1080

[azure topaz]

yus*

[carmine yew]

Why downgrade

[cursive pendant]

27" 1440p and 24" 1080p, to me, no difference, to me

[rigid fjord]

i'd drop to a 6700xt instead then

[carmine yew]

I would never downgrade

[azure topaz]

🙏

[cursive pendant]

6700xt better than the 3060 ti right

[carmine yew]

Unless there was a hella compelling reason

[azure topaz]

moderately, main thing is the vram
diff

[cursive pendant]

The 1440p to 1080p you talking about?

[ivory mountain]

1080p looks like slop after going to 1440

[carmine yew]

Gpu downgrade is a dumb idea

[rigid fjord]

yeah, and with 12gb vram to boot

[azure topaz]

i went thru the song and dance about the res not the gpu

[cursive pendant]

I've got a 24" 1080p and a 27" 1440p right next to each other. IN MY opinion, they look the same

[azure topaz]

i don’t agree with the gpu eirher but whayever

[ivory mountain]

u should get glasses but if u wanna downgrade go ahead

[cursive pendant]

I mean I'd only be saving 100 by downgrading from 3080 so i dont really think its worth it lmao, was js kinda putting it out there

What cpu should I upgrade from the i7-10700F with the 3080?

[carmine yew]

Sell your gpu to get something worse that will be useful for less time. Good idea.

[azure topaz]

7600x/d5 jntel

any d5 chip will be a suitable upgrade excluding the ones you wouldn’t be compelled to buy anyways

[ivory mountain]

a platform with ddr5

[azure topaz]

12100, 8000G series, blah, bad

[ivory mountain]

oh wow ddr4 is getting expensive

[azure topaz]

wat

[ivory mountain]

my old kit went from $30 for 16gb to $50 for 16gb

[azure topaz]

what kit?

also nobody would buy it at 50$ gonna be real lol

[ivory mountain]

t force delta rgb 3600

[carmine yew]

D4 production has mostly died

[azure topaz]

just got a kit of performance b die 2x8 3400 c16 for 35$

and i assure you those dimms are better than yours

[rigid fjord]

if you sold the ram,mobo and cpu as a combo, either a 7600/7600x + b650 + 32gb ddr5, or 12400f + b760 + 32gb ddr5

[ivory mountain]

god damn 😭

[ivory mountain]

nuh uh

[azure topaz]

yes huh

4400 flat 16

[ivory mountain]

oh yeah my old ddr4 yeah 100% your dimms are better than that

thought u meant my ddr5 for a second i was like

[azure topaz]

no ours is probably the same IC

as long as you have hynix a

[ivory mountain]

goatnix a

[azure topaz]

deadass

my sticks may be better or worse, what bin u got shawty

i have 7000 c36

[abstract wigeon]

“what bin you got shawty” tech chat 1 is never getting girlfriends

[cursive pendant]

So sell my B460M motherboard for like $65, sell the DDR4 ram for like $25, sell the CPU for $100. Thats about $200. Buy a 12400f for $100, buy a mobo for $125, buy ddr5 ram for $50-75 so about $250-$325

[ivory mountain]

im running 6000 cl30-36-36-70 rn i need to go lower but im sleepy

[azure topaz]

i have

oops wrong reply

[rigid fjord]

you mean b460m

[cursive pendant]

yes

[azure topaz]

i have

[ivory mountain]

i got a hug thats it

[azure topaz]

the bigger flex is that my girlfriends computer is also full tuned

[abstract wigeon]

i believe you

[azure topaz]

she runs 4000mhz ram on a 5500

[ivory mountain]

fuckass idle temperatures

[azure topaz]

…64 fucking gigs of ram

[ivory mountain]

hey i use 64 as well 🙏

[cursive pendant]

I use 128

[azure topaz]

yeah but she has a 5500 so it’s funny

i only have 32 but that’s cause i prefer speed until im fr running out of ram

my workloads aren’t high ram usage and i have a server with 64 if i need

[ivory mountain]

i see kits on amazon that are $300, have worse timings than my ram, higher voltage, and look worse

[azure topaz]

lol

i got my 7000 kit for 105

[rigid fjord]

i like my micron rev e's tbf

[ivory mountain]

my skyrim mod uses 39GB of ram in whiterun alone

[azure topaz]

rev.e is a relevant daily oc ic yeah

good for seeing ddr4-5000 too

ran 4800 on my rev.e when i dailied ddr4

[abstract wigeon]

off topic how do you get good at skyrim im 20 hours in and get one tapped by every enemy and deal zero damage

[ivory mountain]

Are u playing vanilla or modded?

[abstract wigeon]

modded but with only texture mods

[ivory mountain]

No idea why ur getting one shot unless you’re playing on legendary difficulty

[azure topaz]

i gave my sisters boyfriend his first gaming pc yesterday

[ivory mountain]

W

[azure topaz]

he was incredibly hyped

[abstract wigeon]

im on novice kek im playing mage with robes n stuff just using fireball

[rigid fjord]

minor OC on mine tbh, so 3200 cl16 to 3600 cl16, i do need want to see if i can finally get mine to 3800 cl16

[azure topaz]

he’s also only paying for the video card

cause that’s all i really paid any real money for

[ivory mountain]

You might just be ass broseph

[abstract wigeon]

i have no clue how im meant to like get gooder ive been putting all skill points into health and magic and skill tree into destruction and that i just deal near zero damage

[azure topaz]

should do it. you’ll have to adjust trcd up a little bit, depending on how buns your sticks are

[abstract wigeon]

thats what im saying

[azure topaz]

considering they’re 3200 16-18 they will not do 3600 16-18 more than likely

otherwise they would’ve been that bin out of the factory

[abstract wigeon]

i wanna beat skyrim before i play oblivion remaster but its actually taking years off my life

[ivory mountain]

Robes are ass honestly, also go to farengar in dragon’s reach to get fireball and fire bolt

[azure topaz]

or you could have gotten lucky like me with my reve ic’s and got the same stuff they put in their 5000 kits on a 3200 kit

[abstract wigeon]

noted thanks

[ivory mountain]

I got to 4000mhz but I accidentally put 1.5v instead of 1.4 so my ram died in a month while I was on Minecraft 😂

[azure topaz]

what kit? shouldn’t have died at 1.5

unless it was C die or allegedly CJR

[rigid fjord]

it's doing 3600 16-19, though i could get it to do 3600 16-17

[ivory mountain]

The team group it was C die ram

[azure topaz]

1.5 is a jedec XMP spec, no ram should die at that voltage that quick

[azure topaz]

ig if it would’ve been anything that’s the one

cdie doesn’t scale past 1.35 though so i’m curious lol

[ivory mountain]

Someone here said CJR when I wasn’t very knowledgeable but I think it was C

This was nearly 1.5-2 years ago

[azure topaz]

CJR is allegedly sensitive to voltage too but it’s mixed reports

[rigid fjord]

@azure topaz ze timings

[odd sparrow]

another day another game. Could someone recommend me a game on steam, possibly on sale for better value thats fun and 10$ max.

[ivory mountain]

I keep forgetting a good daily safe voltage for Hynix A die ddr5

[azure topaz]

set 4 trrdl, 520 trfc for easy gains

[unborn whale]

May have just found a holy grail if its legit. What do you guys think?

[azure topaz]

520 trfc should just work

https://www.overclock.net/attachments/trfc-v21-png.2466266/

could try 500 but i did a 20 tick safety margin

[azure topaz]

however much it stays cool

i’d say anywhere up to 1.7 is probably safe to daily

[rigid fjord]

520 trfc gives me an issue with the ssd's i have

[azure topaz]

sadge

[ivory mountain]

I’m on 1.37 with my timings atm

[azure topaz]

4 trrdl should work tho

id look into how low you can get trc, i wouldnt expect much because rev.e does bad trc

like if you want 5000 you need to set over 100

[azure topaz]

a week ago at that price is suspicious

considering he hasn’t dropped the price

[unborn whale]

(Ignore the $800+, PC Part Picker and other sites prices are completely different)

[unborn whale]

yeah its really sus

[azure topaz]

i mean if he lets you pick it up go get it

also it’s not 800$ but i appreciate the enthusiasm

[cursive pendant]

Nobody named Cameron is a nice guy.. speaking from experience yk

[trail patio]

is a 7600x + 9070xt still solid instead of a 9600x

[azure topaz]

yes

[trail patio]

ook

[unborn whale]

yeah I found that out a few mins ago

[frigid blade]

$130 for 1440p 144hz a good deal for a new display?

[azure topaz]

it’s a pretty small difference, like 15% at most

yes

[cursive pendant]

yes

[azure topaz]

anywhere around 120$ is good

[late pelican]

is 300 for a used 3080 10gb a okay price ?

[frigid blade]

Sorry, 180hz

[cursive pendant]

yes it is

[cursive pendant]

yes, great price

[frigid blade]

Thanks guys

[azure topaz]

S2527DG?

[frigid blade]

Amazon Sale

KTC brand

[azure topaz]

eh good then

[frigid blade]

https://a.co/d/hdWkkiY

Idc about the brand, IIRC everyone even the cheap ones use the same panels

I think it’s all Samsung right?

[azure topaz]

google around

[azure topaz]

basically yeah

it’s usually the same 2 or 3 brands of panels

[rigid fjord]

300-400 would be around the asking price for one

[frigid blade]

this is for my gf, we just moved her into her uni apartment

I gave her my old pc, 13600k, 3070Ti, compared to 2060 and some amd cpu that she had

[azure topaz]

my gf going to a 3080 i gotta get her a 1440p

[late pelican]

its a ZOTAC RTX 3080 Trinity OC 10GB

[frigid blade]

Yah she’s got this tiny ass 1080p display rn lol

It’s so small, because her desk was really small before

24 inch will be a large upgrade

She can use the 1080p one as a second monitor for YouTube or something

That’s what I do, game on main, YouTube on secondary

[azure topaz]

yuh

[frigid blade]

And I think the setup is still pretty good for 1440p gaming?

Bit dated but

[cursive pendant]

Cost of this gaming PC?

[cinder raptor]

Bout 3.50

[cursive pendant]

Alright so $300-325 is a good price?

[rigid fjord]

250-300

[rigid fjord]

nope, 300 would be the highest to pay for it, but 250 would be a more reasonable price

[cursive pendant]

I’m assuming this has no profit in it anyways

[cinder raptor]

Not really

[cursive pendant]

What about the cost of this one

[dim mesa]

just had like the scariest thing ever happen bro cuz my pc kept booting into bios then i got bitlocked then i had to unplug a hard drive then i turned off SecureBoot to see if thatd help, it didnt, turned it back on, then now it fixed

im just confused, happy its fixed but just confused

[tidal geyser]

respect them

[tidal geyser]

yuh

[tidal geyser]

e-waste

i can give you some tips about rules you should follow, no matter what official windows 11 support, it needs to look good and not have issues that you can fix but someone less tech focus might not, ofc never lie always give as much info as possible, try to do as much storage as you can

and for buying look for people who do not build computers, try to look for the latest computers that came out, try to haggle.

and for testing them i can just show you what i do
https://youtu.be/vLghwkPhOqA

[random junco]

no way lol

[random junco]

only if youve got spare time and spare cash

not getting sales can be costly

and you REALLY need to understand market needs

[rigid fjord]

100

[rigid fjord]

not really no

[cursive pendant]

Guy wants $340

😭

[random junco]

lol

[rigid fjord]

crack smokers

you can get an optiplex with a 4770 in for like $50 and just add in the gpu for another $50

[tidal geyser]

chat gpt gets more hate than it deserves

[south arrow]

Mytve snagged some intel optane m10s for $35

May they last my abuse

[white sphinx]

But but. Muh blootooth 5.0😢

[rigid fjord]

usb adapter

[azure topaz]

it’s not the worst for compiling widely known info

asking it to tune your ram is a bit much

asking it “hey what gpu i use for homelab” probably isn’t

[tidal geyser]

yeeea

[white sphinx]

Ik, saw a guy on a used stuff app here want 400$ for a 1060+4770 (obviously an old workstation where they retrofitted a gpu)

[azure topaz]

gross

[white sphinx]

Genuinely made me mad

[normal tusk]

reddit sure does have a lot of data

[tidal geyser]

Now what PSU to go for

[white sphinx]

Gorilla!

[azure topaz]

VX prolly

[tidal geyser]

i feel like even tho the vx is older than life itself it should be better

[normal tusk]

legend has it that the side of the VX used to be white not orange

[stiff sonnet]

cooler master

[white sphinx]

Probably… however, counterpoint; no cool gorilla art

[tidal geyser]

i think its a 20 year old psu

like no joke

[normal tusk]

well liquid capacitors are known to be fine over many decades right

like they don't leak right

[rigid fjord]

the coolermaster, funnily enough it's a tier C psu

[azure topaz]

i thought that was the solid state caps

and electrolytic caps leaked

[tidal geyser]

80+ white?

[azure topaz]

unless those are different

[normal tusk]

I was lying

[rigid fjord]

funnily enough, coolermaster being the only one doing that

[tidal geyser]

i think its a b500

[azure topaz]

oh my bad shawty

[normal tusk]

yeah

jokes

[white sphinx]

Film caps short, electrolytics blow up and smell terrible if theyre old, rules to live by

[tidal geyser]

its hyper white or b v2

[rigid fjord]

if it's the b v2 then it's tier E according to spl list

hyper white is also tier E

[tidal geyser]

i think i would rather go for the corsair even tho its older than balls

[normal tusk]

is E the worst one or is there an F

[tidal geyser]

f

the cooler master feels way too light

[rigid fjord]

tier F is the worst, tier E is second to worst

[normal tusk]

oh I always had it in my brain that E tier means explosive

[azure topaz]

basically

i wouldnt use lower than tier c regardless for any rig

[rigid fjord]

@tidal geyser look at the 2 white psu's tiers

[white sphinx]

Same, like a school grade.

[rigid fjord]

it's a more nearing explosive level, tier F = explosive/catches on fire

[ivory mountain]

ive gotten too many c's

[white sphinx]

Cs get degrees

[azure topaz]

this is true

[white sphinx]

In norway its Es get degrees but probably not hired lol

[bitter crater]

oi, my new psu is in that screenshot

[ivory mountain]

my gpa is a 3.1 😭 im cooked

[white sphinx]

not a good sign

[azure topaz]

3.1 isnt terrible

[tidal geyser]

yuh but it was in a OLD pc

[rigid fjord]

didn't you get the v3 one instead

[ivory mountain]

im going to community college anyways but i still wanted a 3.5+ 😭

[normal tusk]

F for fire, E for expletive cause you use expletives after discovering your already purchased PSU is E tier

[tidal geyser]

i was a straight 5 out of 6

[livid mason]

Is this case cooked?

[white sphinx]

Not that bad (i have no idea about gpa, we have an entirely different system)

[azure topaz]

community college into real uni is the methods

[bitter crater]

i think it was a v2 atx 3.1

[tidal geyser]

no why would you say that

[normal tusk]

if it ain't fixed don't broke it

[white sphinx]

Hammer broke it, hammer will fix it

[livid mason]

Hammer didn't do this

[normal tusk]

car shaped hammer

don't throw your PC from the roof without proper packaging material

[white sphinx]

Can definitely fix it though

Percussive maintenance

Idk I stood up to leave my room and my vision started going black, and next thing I know I'm on the floor with a pain in my neck and my parents asking if I'm okay

[azure topaz]

conk

[normal tusk]

it has a certain "sloth from the goonies" vibe

[livid mason]

From what I can remember, I was in the perfect spot to fall head first onto the case, which I think is why it looks like that

[normal tusk]

wait you did that to the case with your head?

[random junco]

justice for bro

[livid mason]

Yes

[white sphinx]

Thats what im saying

[normal tusk]

what the fuck is in your head, rocks?

[azure topaz]

[white sphinx]

Not the bolter

[livid mason]

Fainted so hard I put a huge ass dent in my case 🤑

[azure topaz]

not the wireback 😭

[tidal geyser]

tbh, i've seen worser

[normal tusk]

you should probably see a doctor

[random junco]

[white sphinx]

[livid mason]

It was the side of my face

[white sphinx]

Gonna have intel inside logo on it for the rest of time

[rigid fjord]

yes, it's an english word

[normal tusk]

technically he ain't wrong I googled it

[random junco]

makes eminent sense

[white sphinx]

Your neck must be dying

[azure topaz]

i dont hate it but put at least A case fan in there

[livid mason]

Oh yeah

[normal tusk]

sometimes you just need a good crack of the neck you know what I mean

[random junco]

i hate all builds with that intel stock cooler

[azure topaz]

although i am all for the no case fan meta

[tidal geyser]

naaaa

[livid mason]

I could have used that case at some point too 😔

[tidal geyser]

no io shield

[white sphinx]

Figured, the amount of force to buckle the entire case in several points is insane

[tidal geyser]

it will be fine

[normal tusk]

im not, buy more arctic p12s

[azure topaz]

fair enough the am4 rig i was buikding yesterday doesnt have working case fans rn and its chilling

[tidal geyser]

yuh

[livid mason]

Also got some crazy momentum being 6'4

[azure topaz]

80c on the ccpu but thats cause the cpu is partially broken

[tidal geyser]

nice

[azure topaz]

and its on a stock cooler

[tidal geyser]

dis got a 7600

[azure topaz]

so regardless that was happenning 💀

[white sphinx]

You go to the hospital? That amount of force isnt healthy on the neck

[azure topaz]

this has a 5700G but one that doesnnt work on pbo/dynamic clocks

[tidal geyser]

xd

[azure topaz]

i suspect the SOC is dying

[rigid fjord]

only worthwhile dell mod

[normal tusk]

generally it's not recommended to headbutt an aluminum box at terminal velocity

[dusky lagoon]

anyone know if there is another way besides google or crucial to check to find out what the max specs of a PC are? I tried google and Crucial to try and find out and nothing is coming out clear. I got a new PC and IDK if it can take more than 32GB of DDR5 or not

[tidal geyser]

i need to find a use for my 9700f that cant do more than like 3GHz

[azure topaz]

so i set it to 4200mhz at 1.281v (lower with loadline duh) so i think itll be okay temporarily

[livid mason]

According to my parents because I'm "awake and alert" I'm fine. They also said something along those lines when I broke my wrist

[normal tusk]

that should be the display output

[azure topaz]

this chip works at any clock

just not any dynamic clock

[formal sonnet]

Yes, check the manufacturer's website. If this is a pre-built, that'll be Acer, HP, Dell, etc. If this has a custom motherboard, you can check the motherboard manufacturer site.

[azure topaz]

from what i can tell itll do anything itll do before just only static

[white sphinx]

Its also one of the older ones, so zoom in on the thickness of those walls

No aluminum foil construction here

[azure topaz]

so im going to assume the soc is minorly degraded and doesnt work at low clock/the cores are broken and dont work at idle clock

[white sphinx]

Oc time

[azure topaz]

and honestly thats kind of expected cause it was on 5x scalar its entire life

or like 3x

[azure topaz]

yeah i plan on it

i want to break my current scores with it because i just bought bdie

and it seems promising, i matched my pb with the cpu 400mhz slower

[trail patio]

what response times is good for a monitor

[azure topaz]

the g2g response times are mostly irrelevant

[white sphinx]

1-5ms depending on use

[azure topaz]

or if its oled like 0.03 B)

[white sphinx]

Tru

[random junco]

5ms max for gaming

[azure topaz]

booted up to 4800mhz (ram) even

[random junco]

tbh it could be more but ive used 5ms and its genuinely fine

[azure topaz]

which is pretty wild on a 4 sloter

[white sphinx]

5ms is fine

[random junco]

yes

[azure topaz]

realistically anything lower than like 15 is going to be okay

but youll notice with faster response rate monitors that its kind of a phantom high refresh effect

(in a good way)

makes the monitor feel much nicer

avoid smeary or color innacurate panels and i think youll have a good time on any monitor

even modern TN nowadays is usable

[white sphinx]

Yeah, it feels more natural with faster times on high refresh rates, but its more subconscious rather than noticing it

[tidal geyser]

[tidal geyser]

[azure topaz]

[tidal geyser]

[azure topaz]

[trail patio]

5ms is what ill be getting

[azure topaz]

[tidal geyser]

mate its a 7600

i aint giving it more ram than my server

[azure topaz]

it dont deserve that bad 😔

[white sphinx]

Whopping 16gb of ram

[azure topaz]

at least it gets a dual rank buff

[tidal geyser]

i was considering removeing 2 of the sticks

[white sphinx]

[tidal geyser]

7600 has igpu

[tidal geyser]

sad igpu

[azure topaz]

fine

[azure topaz]

hd 630 isnt that bad

[tidal geyser]

i tried using a i3 10smn NUC and the igpu was not happy

[azure topaz]

my surface can play fallout? 😭

i forgot i installed it on there

i think it was kind of playable

fallout 4 even

[tidal geyser]

that NUC is now my home assistant server

[white sphinx]

Damn, got a gaming laptop and the only game i wanna run on it is fnv, since anything more intense ramps my fans to jet engine config

[azure topaz]

well the surface doesnt have a fan so thats not a problem ™

my old m3 surface i tried lubuntu

guys my screws for my cpu bracket for the aio aren't fitting , what do i do? it's a lga 1700
i tried to get it off my old aio but it seems all aios use different brackets

[white sphinx]

Shit tier thinkpad with kali>>

[tidal geyser]

no shit

[stark kiln]

So I'll get it. I think when I get my PC in October my R5 5500 and 6600 will run well in competitive

[sand epoch]

what should I do then

[tidal geyser]

get rekt

[sand epoch]

why do yall idiots reply if you can't help

[white sphinx]

Did you perchance save the box for the new aio?

[sand epoch]

just ignore the question if u don't want to help

[sand epoch]

i did , it just came yesterday

[white sphinx]

Do you have other brackets in the box?

[cosmic idol]

Install the bracket that came with the aio?

[dusky lagoon]

ha found a scanning system that can recognize my PC the corsair scanner found out the information i needed

[sand epoch]

for installing the bracket , the screws aren't fiting in

[cosmic idol]

idk maybe I’m being intentionally dense or smth

[tidal geyser]

says the guy who cant even use the lga 1700 mounting equipment that came with the AIO

[sand epoch]

ye

[cosmic idol]

There should be correct screws?

Idk it’s been like 3 years since I installed an aio

[white sphinx]

And youre using the lga 1700 specific bracket?

[cosmic idol]

air cooling it rn 😍

[sand epoch]

it claims to have sent 4x screws of some specific dimensions but the issue is I never received it

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/read-gif-27088048

[sand epoch]

ye

[tidal geyser]

you did

[white sphinx]

Double check the box for the screws, sometimes theyre hidden in annoying spots

[cosmic idol]

You very much probably did.
Make sure it didn’t like get stuck under some flaps in the box !

[sand epoch]

sure thing

[sand epoch]

alright

[white sphinx]

He has the aio

[tidal geyser]

buy a air cooler

[cosmic idol]

I don’t think I’ll ever use an aio

Either go custom loop or air

But knowing me I’ll stick to air
Breathe air or some shit yeah

[white sphinx]

Me neither, but its their prerogative to make their pc ugly

[white sphinx]

Oh btw i bought the most funky looking air cooler for the cpu

[tidal geyser]

o boy

[cosmic idol]

Me when the TikTok kid has a 3000 dollar pc
(It has 21 lian li fans, a lian li fish bowl, top of the line mobo, quad rgb shiny ram, and an i3 with a 1650)

[white sphinx]

I only wanted it because it looks funky and i find top down towers so funny

[cosmic idol]

Not to mention the aio with a fully customizable screen, 17 anime figurines inside and another 2 screens in the case mb

[cosmic idol]

They really are funny looking things
I want one honestly

[white sphinx]

Or those fuckass glass cases with a 3090 and 3 120mm case fans on one side prividing barely enough airflow not to blow it up

Makes me unreasonably mad

[cosmic idol]

Even better when the fans are all mounted to push in

[white sphinx]

Yes, or when they put the input on the bottom back, below the gpu exhaust and the output above it

Like just flip the fans and its fine bru

[cosmic idol]

😔

[rigid fjord]

one mre reason to avoid win 11 btw https://wccftech.com/windows-11-latest-update-is-reportedly-causing-widespread-ssd-failures/

[white sphinx]

Not sure what fan config i want for it though

[plush wren]

wonderful

[white sphinx]

I want only the top fan but idk if i wanna push over the fins or pull through

[cosmic idol]

Hmmmmmmm

I’d say pull through maybe?

Idk I haven’t built with one but that seems like the most logical way in my head

Pull air across vrms and stuff, then it gets exhausted right into the path of other case fans

[white sphinx]

Ye, that is also a big reason i went for that heatsink, good airflow right above the cpu and vrms

[cosmic idol]

I wanna go smaller with my pc honestly

Not ridiculously small but like matx small

[white sphinx]

I have one singular goal; make it look as dumb as possible

[cosmic idol]

I love this attitude

[white sphinx]

But also silly pc funny

Also every part is gonna be used lol

Btw, someone relatively near me is selling a deepcool MACUBE atx case, does it have as shit airflow as it seems to?

Looks like just a white box…

[trim gyro]

it has no air flow

[white sphinx]

Crazy

[cosmic lance]

is 2 case fans worth it?

[thorny saddle]

2 case fans?

[trim gyro]

minimum three case fans

[cosmic lance]

can only afford 2

or should i replace my dusty old stealth fan with an other one

[trim gyro]

is your budget around $10

if you can stretch your budget to $12, you can buy three tl-c12cs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BKL1QYP3

Oh, let me see if there's something cheaper in your country, my bad

[random gyro]

@cosmic lance where are you from?

[cosmic lance]

morocco

[cosmic lance]

my budget is like 20$

so 200 dhirams

[cursive pendant]

Damnnnn

$50 shipping fee

Not including amazon's $6.99 for under $35

[trim gyro]

crazy import taxes to morocco

need to find one made in the country

[outer gorge]

@timber wigeon they guy who I was going to buy the ATs just blocked me out of nowhere lol

[cosmic lance]

im using nextlevelpc.ma

local website, shipping is like 3 dollars for the WHOLE cart

i think im getting this

since the website doesnt have any case fans within my budget

[ivory mountain]

i miss this xbox UI so much

[delicate egret]

hey my gpu is for some reason sometimes getting stuck on things like the browser, discord and some others displaying still images, then when i move my mouse there or move the windows around, they unfreeze or wherever the mouse goes, it'll act like those pillows that have fish scales and keep the image and remove wherever the mouse goes

anybody know what that means? is my gpu cooked D:

[trim gyro]

yep, morocco PC market sucks balls

I found one that ships free to EU nations, buuuuut

[cosmic lance]

fr

[cosmic lance]

most likely not

can you give us more info

[empty quartz]

Left is rx 6800, right is b580

[delicate egret]

yea the gpu performs fine and its a 4080 super and randomly when im using discord nad on video call or streaming, it for some reason makes it so it acts like one of those pillows i was talking about, and then it'll freeze the windows sometimes (not freeze in windows, but it'll just freeze on the screen.

only reason he wanted it is “cause i have an amd cpu”

Why would you anyways even trade for that

[azure topaz]

to get rid of the 7800XT

[sinful cobalt]

bye bye 7800xt hello 509-

[unique olive]

But then you would have a 3070

[azure topaz]

no i wouldn’t i have a 3080

[cursive pendant]

What to upgrade from RTX 3080

[cosmic idol]

Hmmmmm.
Depends on budget and needs honestly

[cursive pendant]

Whats like generally the next realistic step up

[sinful cobalt]

5090

[cursive pendant]

I think I said realistic

[sinful cobalt]

4090

its a 200% over the 3080 I’d say thats a pretty realistic stepup

or just go get a 9070xt

/5070ti

[cosmic idol]

Again depends on budget and whatever
But like
5070/ti seems reasonable

[cosmic idol]

That’s a good option too !

[cursive pendant]

Now what about an i7-10700F, 750w PSU, and a $400-550 budget. Whats a good upgrade from the 3080?

[cosmic idol]

My phone screen just zapped me wtf

[sinful cobalt]

like… that the total budget or do we include selling the 3080

because you are not upgrading anything with ts gng

[cosmic idol]

550us?

[cursive pendant]

yes usd

[cosmic idol]

Do you plan on selling that 3080 to upgrade?

[cursive pendant]

Anyone realize that a will is a dead giveaway?

[cursive pendant]

I'm just scoping things out here, if I were to sell that 3080 for like $350 and throw on like 150-200, could I get any gpu with that $500-550 upgrading from the 3080

[cosmic idol]

Second hand id have no idea as idk what the second hand market is like over there

You might be worth saving a bit more potentially

[cursive pendant]

Its not about the saving I have the money ready I'm just wondering what I could get thats an upgrade in that price range. What about like 6-650

[cosmic idol]

I’d love to help but

[stark kiln]

Well it does work but fan is busted so it'll need auxiliary cooling

Is this worth it?

[mint umbra]

looking for new tablet for reading comics and watch movies

any suggestions

preferable around 10-11 inch

[cursive pendant]

Older iPad like a 5th or 6th gen. 9.7".can be found for 40-60 on ebay

if youre only using it for that

Or get like a 8th gen for newer software support

but 8th gen is around 110-125

[mint umbra]

forgot to add would prefer android as I can get some 3rd party apps for getting comics that arent on ios

[stark kiln]

If it's really a 3060 ti for like 200$ that works id say it's worth it if I find a way to cool that thing up properly but idk

[mint umbra]

on apple think most of the apps are paid apps

[cursive pendant]

ah okay

[mint umbra]

for reading comics and such

[stark kiln]

There's also this 6600xt withought issues

[cursive pendant]

Which apps specifically

[mint umbra]

mihon its app that scrapes pirated websites so Im able to get comics/Manga without using official apps since I dont think you can side load apk files on apple

which this app is apk side loaded app

dogshit price

[stark kiln]

What's the usual price then?

[sinful cobalt]

[stark kiln]

I mean it's the XT version

[swift kestrel]

Windows

[sinful cobalt]

still dogshit

[swift kestrel]

Stupid phone microphone picked up everything

[stark kiln]

So I should go with the normal 6600 or raw dog the 3060 ti with another cooler.

[sinful cobalt]

just get 3060 12gb

[stark kiln]

My GPU budget is 200$ for a used one that's def not in that price range

[sinful cobalt]

?????

3060 should be a sub 200 card

[stark kiln]

I suppose you live on cheap pricing cause the only 200~$ one here is a 3060M

[sinful cobalt]

im assuming this is us

it just means ur sellers are stupid

[stark kiln]

Yeah I'm in NYC

[sinful cobalt]

oh well get fucked

[stark kiln]

All are like 250$ and my PC budget is 420$, I'm already doing too much with around half of budget being on GPU

[stark kiln]

So which one should I go with?

[sinful cobalt]

find a 3060 12gb elsewhere ez

[stark kiln]

Alright

[stark kiln]

Damn not 12gb but this is 220$ including shipping

[sinful cobalt]

ur sellers are stupid

you are also stupid for not being a good boy and going hunting

[stark kiln]

Which sellers aren't tbf

[stark kiln]

Hunting?

[sinful cobalt]

hunt the 3060 12gb for sub 200 bruh dont yap to me about shit we’re ignoring itfp

[stark kiln]

Sorry I'm kinda slow rn

[thorny saddle]

3060 wtf

[stark kiln]

Alright I'll search for a deal

[stark kiln]

Hey again

[thorny saddle]

we have to stop talking about 3060s

[stark kiln]

Well this is 180$ including shipping. Close enough

[stark kiln]

Is it fine if I ask which ~200$ GPU should I get?

[sinful cobalt]

for every message i put out this guy is pinging me like 7 times

[thorny saddle]

just get a B580

[stark kiln]

Might be a good idea. Which GPU does it compare to?

There isn't none for like 200-240$ but closest is a b570

[azure topaz]

bad

3060 mobile, locked chinese modded drivers, 6GB

read the listings broski 😭

[frigid blade]

Was trying to figure out why the old pc didn’t boot

Then I see the top half of the pins are bent down, and bottom half bent up

on the mobo

Not worth buying a new motherboard, it’s an i5-8600 and 1060 3GB

[spring latch]

i may or may not have too perfectly remade Clyde
its not 100% accurate but its pretty good

[empty quartz]

i just learned something that is actually kind of insane

my fucking iphone 16 pro max is more powerful than my laptop

my laptop has an i7 1165g7

[charred knot]

can i run a minccraft server on this

i hve the i7 16 gb

[tidal geyser]

You make me sad

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[leaden grotto]

why do people say oled has bad text clarity? i legit dont notice a difference

[tidal geyser]

You see if you use a microscope the pixel layout is not good for text

[leaden grotto]

This seems fine to me, its even clearer irl, idk why it looks like this on camera

[tidal geyser]

Your lense is round but the sensor is square

Or something

[leaden grotto]

ah

but ye text clarity isnt really an issue

[tidal geyser]

Anyways I dono text is clear

[upbeat cove]

what monitor?

[leaden grotto]

its a laptop

[upbeat cove]

i haven't seen any oled laptops with poor text clarity

prob aided by the higher ppi

[leaden grotto]

ah

[tidal geyser]

Jesus it's a laptop

[leaden grotto]

that's probably it coz laptop displays are so small

[tidal geyser]

O hell that ppi is maybe even higher than your phone

[leaden grotto]

nah

phone has the largest ppi

[limber nacelle]

naw

phone screen ppi is wild

I sincerely doubt any computer screen comes close

[cosmic idol]

You can run a minecraft server on anything.

That should be more than enough tho.

Depends on what you’re doing

[upbeat cove]

the highest i know of is 218

and my phone is 440 ppi

[sinful cobalt]

my laptop’s 235

my 14 pro is 460

[cosmic lance]

the what?

[limber nacelle]

I have a cheap phone and even that is like, 350 ppi

[limber nacelle]

too soon

not after my baby died a couple days ago 😭

my poor sweet ol ftw3 🥲

[upbeat cove]

i had to say goodbye to my ftw3 in 2020

served me a whole 3 years

[peak knot]

I showed up to the airport to fly home and the airports fire alarm went off and now everyone has been evacuated out….

What a wonderful start to my day

[sinful cobalt]

My condolences for ur lost time

[cosmic idol]

NOOOOOOO

[cosmic idol]

Good start to the day
Hope your flight is alright bro

[tidal geyser]

welp the code was too long

[granite pier]

guys i am about to build my first pc ever (24 year old )
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D (it just got out of stock so idk if to go down a gen or wait a lil)
Kingston FURY BEAST 2x16GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30
Samsung 990 PRO NVMe M.2 2280 2TB SSD
GIGABYTE X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7 AM5 DDR5
Corsair 6500X Tempered Glass Mid Tower ATX
Corsair RM850x 850W Gold 14cm Fan Fully Modular ATX
Corsair NAUTILUS 360 RS ARGB 360mm
GIGABYTE AORUS Radeon RX 9070 XT ELITE 16GB
Corsair RS120 (three extra fans )
i know this thing is a big big jump for someone which his last pc when he was a kid was a gtx 750ti
and then a ps4
but i always wanted to go back to this stuff and now i can without breaking the bank
please advice

[cosmic idol]

Get a nice 1tb boot drive then a 2tb games drive

[granite pier]

got it

[cosmic idol]

Besides that, it looks sick
Congrats!

[ebon marlin]

Don't bother with Samsung SSD's

[ebon marlin]

For the same price of that 2tb you could most likely get a 4tb drive

[granite pier]

does it really matter the speed ?

[cosmic idol]

I have a mad crush on the Kingston nv3 series

[granite pier]

cuz in the end i would rather a 4tb

[ebon marlin]

No since it's an nvme

[cosmic idol]

Yeah honestly for a gamer all nvmes feel the same

[ebon marlin]

Gen3 nvme will load shit as fast as a gen5 nvme

[granite pier]

plus i got a sick ass monitor cant wait till it gets here

[ebon marlin]

Speed only matters when you're transferring files

[cosmic idol]

And with games you arguably dont need an nvme
Sata ssd is just fine

[ebon marlin]

Better be OLED with that kinda setup if not I'm disappointed

[granite pier]

yeah it will be just an extra few min i dont mind

[ebon marlin]

The difference in load times is nanoseconds

[granite pier]

i was stuck at an oled 4k or oled 1440 better fps

[granite pier]

hahahhaha

[ebon marlin]

Did allat spending on products where you spend more on the brand than the product itself

Since that list has tons of unnecessary money being spent

[granite pier]

honestly i just really want something to stay alive for 6 or 7 years

[ebon marlin]

Would be the same only thing that matters is the cpu and gpu

[granite pier]

well in my city we dont have a lot of options with all these stuff

[granite pier]

i will look up if there is something that is more budget freindly

[ebon marlin]

You don't need an X series chipset

[sinful cobalt]

how asus feels after giving shitty brand stickers to people who bought shit worth thousands:

[ebon marlin]

Only difference in B series and X series chipsets is that you get an extra USB controller

I recommend getting the cheapest part that fits your needs instead of spending extra hundreds of bucks on flashy stuff

[granite pier]

do yeah any models you recommend?

[ebon marlin]

Just filter by cheapest and choose the first one that fits your needs

Like wifi and pcie slots

I also recommend diversifying where ur buying from since if you only buy from 1 store only you might be most likely with a build like that be spendign 500 bucks extra

[granite pier]

yeah but barely got like two main sellers of the hardware with good prices

[leaden grotto]

am i tripping but does the colour on oled looks different?

was using an IPS laptop for work like last week, now using my new oled laptop and my website colours all looks so weird

[worn basalt]

yo just upgraded my CPU this day, doing well so far

[exotic cape]

https://tenor.com/view/steve-carell-the-office-yikes-this-is-the-worst-cringe-gif-21219465

[leaden grotto]

like green doesnt look greyish anymore

[worn basalt]

idk I think it was like 30s

[leaden grotto]

and the blue looks so good dang

[tidal geyser]

Did you use new paste?

[exotic cape]

imagine reusing the old crusty paste

[candid flume]

^ is the cooler seated correctly

[worn basalt]

yeah, fans at 683 RPM

jk max at 1200. I did what they said "grain size"

[exotic cape]

pea sized

[worn basalt]

oh 💀

i heard that elsewhere

[candid flume]

i do an x with dots in between 🤷‍♂️

[worn basalt]

It was more of a line method but not much to become much at all.

[exotic cape]

the pea sized method.
the smear method.
the x method.
the pad method.

and what ever this is called.

[candid flume]

no such thing as too much paste fr

[worn basalt]

Optimal cooling, still at 60°C

[worn basalt]

Might as well submerge for cooling

I technically did the line, but probably "not enough"

[candid flume]

would u guys buy the 9060 xt at $380 or do u think prices will go down more

[sinful cobalt]

it doesnt matter for amd chips

the cooler contact will spread it anyway

[candid flume]

16 gb obviously

[exotic cape]

honestly. no idea for the 9000 series.

i dont even know what level that is in the class

since numbers dont make sence anymore

[worn basalt]

buttered toast almost never works for me. Except if I do it incorrectly... which I probably did

Spatula's bigger than the CPU itself, and it's what you think it is

[abstract wigeon]

this isnt funny anymore what am i doing wrong

[worn basalt]

but hey, if it works; it works ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[candid flume]

it really doesnt matter like the other person said, screwing in ur cooler correctly matters a lot more

[worn basalt]

Did you remove the card?

a sag?

[exotic cape]

use DDU and reinstall drivers

[worn basalt]

yeah I can't trust my cooler anymore. It once gave a low fan speed warning kinda thing, can't remember what it totally said.

Switching to a tower cooler like in the next week or so

[candid flume]

yeah idk but im upgrading from a 1080 so maybe i upgrade now and sell the 1080 as quick as possible, the 9060 might go down in price a little but the 1080 100% will so 🤷‍♂️

[worn basalt]

at Discord, the CPU's at 56°C so I guess that's solid

[abstract wigeon]

done that 3 times

[worn basalt]

+6 chrome tabs

[abstract wigeon]

why does steam read 106% cpu usage does anyone know

[exotic cape]

like everything before the 9000 series made sence.
900 is top.
800 is mid.
700 is low.
insert the 50's and xt's in the classes.

[candid flume]

oh yeah is reinstalling windows necessary going from nvidia to amd?

ik it is for cpus but idk about gpu

[worn basalt]

I only think drivers ;-;

[exotic cape]

my last cpu was so cursed that i could use 180% of it.
