[worn basalt]

can't even sustain speeds

needs a defib

[exotic cape]

nvm, it was the gpu that was cursed XD

[exotic cape]

what software you use?

[worn basalt]

MSI Afterburner + RTSS

6 chrome tabs in, chrome's taking 1.14 GB

[rigid fjord]

thermalright aio or air cooler instead, and also, you can pick a better ssd for cheaper like a sn580/mp44l

[leaden grotto]

the math aint mathing

[exotic cape]

still aint mathing

[worn basalt]

you pay for the whole graphics card, you use the whole graphics card

[exotic cape]

its only when playing a game that uses all of gpu and a 4k video or two

[iron glen]

Anyone here have TailsOS troubleshooting experience?

Kinda want to play around with it a bit but i can't get into the desktop

[tidal geyser]

I have tailscale

[iron glen]

Uhhh
Haven't heard of it before :P

[tidal geyser]

It's da best

[iron glen]

I'll take your word for it

Idk its prompting me some "amnesia login:" but i haven't created anything yet

[tidal geyser]

Checked for default credentials?

[exotic cape]

something isnt adding up

[tidal geyser]

Wat

[exotic cape]

opera is using more of my gpu running a 4k video that the first decendant is using XD

[tidal geyser]

Operagx is using media decode

The GPU is more than just rendering

[exotic cape]

but why isnt the game using gpu?

[tidal geyser]

Do you have bad fps?

[exotic cape]

90

[tidal geyser]

Yes what you would expect

[exotic cape]

around 60 with the old cpu

[iron glen]

Couldn't find any, thats why i asked :3

[tidal geyser]

It's just task manager being bad again

[tidal geyser]

33% jump is very nice

No wait 50%

I can't do math well ok I kinda can

[exotic cape]

i actually can play it now without the stutters from scaling

[tidal geyser]

Yay

[exotic cape]

running a bit hot.

[tidal geyser]

No

[calm idol]

no

[tidal geyser]

Those cards tend to do 110c hotspot

Or closer to it

[exotic cape]

my foot gets burnt when touching the glas panel

[tidal geyser]

You need more fans

[cursive pendant]

and stronger feet

[tidal geyser]

And faster fans

[cursive pendant]

and manlier features

[exotic cape]

last time i used a laser temp gun and it measured 65c on the glass

i think i have 5 intake 1 out

[tidal geyser]

Optimol

[cosmic lance]

what would be the ideal temperature of an ryzen 5 3600 idling?

or in the bios? because im pretty sure yesterday, it hit like 53-57 C° in the bios

[solid quail]

Repasted the free gpu

[cosmic lance]

now its a 10 dollar gpu

[solid quail]

also the psu in the free system turned out to be a 620w seasonic 80+ bronze

the aio cooler still seems fine

it was as easy of a fix as resetting bios settings

[cosmic lance]

oh, yoru the same guy as yesterday

[solid quail]

yes

cleared CMOS and the system works perfectly fine

[cosmic lance]

btw do you know why the seller gave it to to you for free?

[trail patio]

do i actually have to get a gpu sag bracket or can i just put something that fits under my gpu

[solid quail]

it kept crashing. he couldn't even install windows

[cosmic lance]

both

[trail patio]

ty

[cosmic lance]

[solid quail]

I cleared CMOS and windows installed just fine. Ran both furmark for an hour and prime95 for 6 hours total (3hours small fft and 3hours blend to test the IMC). Stable

likely using my 5960x until the games I occasionally play stop working due to no windows 11. Once that happens, I'm switching to the 9600K

but hey. I got 32GB of RAM in my current system now so that's something

[rigid fjord]

don't you mean 5950x

[solid quail]

5960x. The i7

The eight core 4th gen i7 from 2014

[rigid fjord]

5th gen that makes it, not 4th

[solid quail]

Have it overclocked to 4.2 ghz on core and cache so it's around 3700x performance

[solid quail]

5960x is haswell, so 4th gen. Intel had weird naming on its HEDT back then

3960X was sandy so 2nd gen for example

6900K was broadwell so 5th gen

[hexed sage]

should i be worried?

[solid quail]

I must admit the RGB ram looks quite nice when it's on the both sides of the socket

[rigid fjord]

why not go amd instead

9600k can barely keep up with an r5 3600 tbh

[hexed sage]

I have never gotten this popup before

and I just let someone use my pc randomly so its kinda weird

[solid quail]

because this stuff I have lying around

if it ain't broke don't fix it

you don't always necessarily need those new x3d shits or a 5090

hence why I'm not upgrading my 1070 to the 1080 even though I have one lying around

I frankly do not need it

[trail patio]

if im using a tower fan cooler should i install that near last, like maybe just before the gpu

[unique olive]

That’s just apple and Microsoft not playing well together

[hexed sage]

oh well that would make sense

they were resetting their ipad on my pc

anyone know much about vr headsets?

[hexed sage]

I was playing a game against a team of orbs

[unique olive]

Depends on if the cpu fan header is easy to reach when it’s in the case

[raw whale]

i cant get rid of these screws

is there any special thing for them

(the ones for the cooler)

[unique olive]

I kept mine not sure what they are used for

[abstract wigeon]

no you just use a screw driver

[raw whale]

i mean i cant loosen them

[hexed sage]

been having issues with my quest 3 link, probably my specs so im upgrading my pc

[raw whale]

guhhh the one i got is too small and one is too big

[abstract wigeon]

wired or wireless / what issues

[unique olive]

The ones connected to the black brackets?

[raw whale]

yes

[unique olive]

Weird just did a build with a Tuf mobo and easily unscrewed em

[hexed sage]

just stutters, for example when i turn my head i see a void for a sec and its been bothering me, idk if its a pc thing or just the quest

it does it in wired and wireless

[exotic cape]

b650 plus?

[hexed sage]

also I see warping a lot

[abstract wigeon]

pc thing, what are your specs

[abstract wigeon]

cant really stop that

[hexed sage]

i7 12700f, 4060, 32 gb ram

I need to invest in a valve index but im gonna wait for the deckard to come out

[abstract wigeon]

you shouldnt be struggling at all, try turning down the res in the meta app, also what games are you playing

[abstract wigeon]

the quest 3 is a lot better than the index

[raw whale]

yes asus

[hexed sage]

the game I have issues with is blade and sorcery

[unique olive]

At abusing your privacy

[abstract wigeon]

i have pretty similar specs and ive never had issues with blade and sorcery, try turning down you res

or in game graphics

[hexed sage]

what res should I be using?

[abstract wigeon]

just turn it down until its playable

[hexed sage]

alright

[abstract wigeon]

in the meta app set the resfresh rate to 90 aswell not 120

compression artefacts can be gross at 120

[hexed sage]

I was playing at 120 💀

[abstract wigeon]

theres no shot you were pushing 120 frames

turn it down to 90 and also turn down the res a little and see if that helps

[hexed sage]

alright thanks

btw do yk if you can link index controllers to the quest 3?

specifically through steam vr

[abstract wigeon]

yes but its not official and has many issues

if you want great tracking for quest you have to buy the quest pro controllers but they are far too expensive for what they are

[hexed sage]

man

I just want finger tracking 😭

[abstract wigeon]

you can do hand tracking over steam link

different thing i know but its there

[hexed sage]

fr?

[abstract wigeon]

yep

download the steam link app for quest 3

and use hand tracking

[hexed sage]

I already have it

I think

no I dont I lied

[abstract wigeon]

yeah ive played some of alyx with hand tracking its pretty cool

[hexed sage]

I was thinking of the quest app on pc

[hexed sage]

how does it work?

[abstract wigeon]

it just tracks your hands

you point where you want to move and you move there

[hexed sage]

man

that would be so perfect for bas and h3vr 😭

[cosmic lance]

im gonna cry

[raw whale]

is this ph2

[abstract wigeon]

you dont even hand hands in h3vr lmao

[hexed sage]

i mean theres mods that make it so you do

[abstract wigeon]

just use whatever screwdriver youve used for every single other screw in the pc

[raw whale]

i did and its too small

[hexed sage]

also does the steam link app improve performance

[raw whale]

also this is the first screw i unscrew beisde m.2

[trail patio]

whats that

oh its the part where the cable goes to

[abstract wigeon]

ehhh ive found its a LOT more stable than meta wireless yeah but probably the same as wired

[hybrid solar]

hi what mobo to buy for 9950x3d

[abstract wigeon]

theres never any of that weird tearing and black bar stuff with steam link wireless

[abstract wigeon]

budget

[hexed sage]

maybe my issue is the cable?

[abstract wigeon]

as long as it is usb3 youre fine

[hybrid solar]

Kinda unlimited but I don't wanna overspend. And am not going to overclock.

[trail patio]

so how do i know what cables i need from my psu

[hexed sage]

like usb 3 to usb 3?

[abstract wigeon]

question mark

[hexed sage]

is this fine

[hexed sage]

when you said usb 3 i was thinking usb 3 is the name of the port (usb type c)

I meant usb c to usb c

[hybrid solar]

I think x870 or x870e would be good right? But am not sure I need the E version.

[random junco]

get whatever you think looks nice, has the features you think are pretty cool, and is within ur budget

[abstract wigeon]

nah that wont make a difference youre fine

[hybrid solar]

If only I knew what I need 🥺

[abstract wigeon]

no need for the E

E just means bigger pretty much

[raw whale]

im pretty sure i stripped the scrrew somehow

[abstract wigeon]

how have you managed that

[raw whale]

idk man i used the same screw driver on all of them

3 worked and 1 doesnt want to turnù

[abstract wigeon]

any way you can get it our by gripping the edge

[raw whale]

as in tilting the screwdriver?

[abstract wigeon]

nawh like by hand

i mean whatever works

[raw whale]

i cant grip it

[hybrid solar]

GIGABYTE X870 EAGLE good?

[abstract wigeon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keJHego7neI use this as a guide

[trail patio]

how do i know what psu cables to be using?

[hybrid solar]

watching

[abstract wigeon]

question mark

in what context

[trail patio]

like

i have a modular psu so

how would i know what cables to be taking out to actually use

i havent built my pc yet everythings still in the box, not sure if it would have been more obvious when unboxed

[icy fossil]

should u set FCLK to 2000mhz on zen5 or leave it on auto? im using ddr5 6000mt/s ram

[hybrid solar]

Hm, wait it seems the only benefit of x870 over b650e are USB4 ports. Both have pcie5 slots.

The price is kinda the same though

[abstract wigeon]

well what components do you have?

[sudden fractal]

Ummm gotta ask...
How do you make the bios detect the 4gb ram put into the asus laptop? For some odd reason it doesn't detect it.

[low oak]

Hay chat ive missed i didn't realise i got an ssd hard drive enclosure but i cant return the hard drive can someone help me find an alternative to use it please

[trail patio]

7600x, 9070xt, tower cooler fan, 6 case fans preinstalled, b850m-x wifi mobo, 1tb ssd

[abstract wigeon]

well if you look at your components you will see what cables you need, the mobo will need the 24pin and the cpu 8pin, gpu 2/3 pcie 8pin and the rest you will check yourself

[hybrid solar]

@abstract wigeon after watching the video MSI PRO X870-P seem to be a good choice and is priced reasonably. So is it ok to get this one?

[trail patio]

alright tysm

"Unfortunately, the WD Blue SN5000 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD is currently out of stock
we’re pleased to offer the following replacement options, both of which are available now:
Kingston NV3 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD
Crucial E100 1TB PCIe Gen4 2280 NVMe SSD"

are any of these alternatives the same value/good? i have no idea what to be looking for in terms of an ssd 😭

[abstract wigeon]

is the sn580 in stock

[abstract wigeon]

go for it

[trail patio]

it says thats 500gb ssd

oih nvm

but uh its between those two or a refund because theyll give any of the alternatives free of cost

the kingston and crucial ones

[abstract wigeon]

i dont know either of them

[trail patio]

i see i see

[unique olive]

Not asrock

[hybrid solar]

MSI PRO X870-P I decided on this one

[unique olive]

That will work great anything but asrock works well with x3d chips

[raw whale]

@abstract wigeon this is how the screw looks

[unique olive]

Oh oh boy

[hollow creek]

feels bad man

[raw whale]

yeah idk how it turned into that

every other screw worked fine

[unique olive]

Is this a new board you can return?

[raw whale]

yeah

i was thinking of doing that but ugh

also unsure if amazon would take it

[unique olive]

Id do it if you don’t have another solution

[raw whale]

since its kinda user error

but the screw wasnt turning others worked fine so

[unique olive]

If it’s in that 30 day period say it’s broken

[raw whale]

yeah it is

[unique olive]

It’s not those screws shouldn’t be that tight

[raw whale]

yeah thats what i thouhgt it was super tight

others i didnt have an issue

[tidal geyser]

Did it already break

[tidal geyser]

Get a step bigger of a Philips and it should come right out maybe add s rubber band too

[abstract wigeon]

the gpu is now on ebay 🕊️

[raw whale]

i will try again ig

[abstract wigeon]

hoping to get 175 ish for my 3070 what do we think do i have a chance

[tidal geyser]

Rip I just bought a 3070 for 250

It is a cool 3 fan tho

[exotic cape]

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

[unique olive]

It just seems on its way to being broken

[tidal geyser]

Defo not worth anywhere else than Norway

[tidal geyser]

But was it broken from the factory

[abstract wigeon]

usd? 175 gpb is like 235 usd so not far off what im going for

[tidal geyser]

O yeah, your in the UK

[unique olive]

Possibly or just over tightened

[raw whale]

it wasnt broken but it was definitely overtightened

[tidal geyser]

What cooler is he even installing

[raw whale]

peerless assassin

[tidal geyser]

M yeah that bracket has to go

[raw whale]

yeahhhh

well amazon did tell me if anything broke i can refund it even if it was somewhat userr error

[abstract wigeon]

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/336130464494 so is mine 😎

[abstract wigeon]

it is 10000% user error lel but its surely savable

[tidal geyser]

Rubber band and bigger bit

[raw whale]

i cant find a ph3

[unique olive]

Combination it was definitely over tightened and then possibly the wrong bit was used

[unique olive]

It would be a 2

[raw whale]

wrong bit maybe but worked fine on all of them

[tidal geyser]

Po hu 3

[raw whale]

i used ph2 to unscrew them as ph1 was too small

[exotic cape]

if not this might do the trick
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003515852882.html

[tidal geyser]

You need to use the right bit or ofc it's gonna strip

[abstract wigeon]

drilling straight into the mobo ggggulp

[unique olive]

Just throw on the bolt cracker 3 thousand that will fix it

It’s just a hammer

[abstract wigeon]

do you have a wrench?

[exotic cape]

if the screw is fucked beyond recognition using these might be the only solution.

[unique olive]

Cheaper to return it and get a new one 🤷‍♂️

Screw the next guy trying to get stuff cheaper with open box deals

[exotic cape]

2$ for a set of 6 on temu

[tidal geyser]

Return a broken thing

[tidal geyser]

How many times have you ever turned anything

[unique olive]

?

[raw whale]

he saying that i shouldnt return it cause its brokenù

[unique olive]

That’s exactly why you return it . You didn’t pay for broken shit

[raw whale]

yeah ik but his point is i broke it

which is partially correct

on the other hand it was screwed too tight

others worked fine with saame screwdriver

[exotic cape]

those are screwed in my machine i belive.

[raw whale]

yeah

[exotic cape]

wich is set to a spec

[raw whale]

but still

ill try rubber band trick

[tidal geyser]

If you break something you broke it

If it came from the factory like that instantly document it and then you can return it

Well talk with Amazon or the producer of the product first

[raw whale]

yeah thats what ill do

[tidal geyser]

They need to know the batch number so they can return it from store shelves and fix the issue

[dapper nexus]

yo @tidal geyser you tried helping me with that ethernet issue yesterday or the day before, so i installed the newest drivers from realtek themselves and that solved the problem for 36 hours but now its doing it again and its capping it at 100mbps and i cant even get it to 1gbps anymore

[unique olive]

I feel like there’s a lot over thinking happening

[raw whale]

yeah LOL

[dapper nexus]

i did all the settings, forced it to 1gbps full duplex, in router and pc settings, tried diff cables, ports etc

[tidal geyser]

I swear it looks like you are using cat 5 cables

[dapper nexus]

cat 6

[tidal geyser]

Did you try being right next to the router with a new cable

[dapper nexus]

yes

also tried all the router ports

its a brand new router aswell

i went into router settings and forced that to 1gbps full duplex and it sais im getting 1gbps

[tidal geyser]

The only thing left is a dying ethernet port

[dapper nexus]

but it worked for over 36 hours when i installed that new driver, if it was my port it wouldn't have done that right?

[tidal geyser]

Did you try to install it again and stop windows update

[dapper nexus]

no, i can reinstall it from realtek directly, should i go to the device manager first and delete that one

[tidal geyser]

yea

[dapper nexus]

okay

[hybrid solar]

Ok new problem how the fuck do I cool 9950x3d. ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro will this be good?

[dapper nexus]

ill download the ones from gigabyte for my motherboard just as backup

[tidal geyser]

30$ air cooler can too but yes the best am5 or at least one of em should be ok

[hybrid solar]

will it be enough?

[tidal geyser]

will what be

[hybrid solar]

I run some computationaly heavy tasks

that can easily max out that cpu

as in all threads

[tidal geyser]

that is what its menat to do yes

[dapper nexus]

@tidal geyser so i just right click and delete this, then install the new one and then restart pc?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[hybrid solar]

I currently have arctic 36 pro

[tidal geyser]

well its going to restart when you do that

[hybrid solar]

I could try running with that one

[dapper nexus]

alright

[tidal geyser]

god no

[dapper nexus]

Which one?

[tidal geyser]

i would imagine restore

[hybrid solar]

than what do you reccomend?

to cool

[dapper nexus]

nope its still capped at 100mbps

i can try and install the ones from my motherboard instead of latest again to see if that changes anything

[brisk frost]

I bought a RX580 core,
but the serial number is 215-0876406.
Is this a RX570 even RX470 core?

[tidal geyser]

does it even matter

you are just gonna drill a hole and make a keychain right

or is it for practice

[brisk frost]

I bought it to make die shot, but as far as I know, some RX580 2048sp use the same core.

[dapper nexus]

@tidal geyser i tried both and both are capped at 100mbps even tho my router settings and pc settings are set to 1gbps full duplex

[raw whale]

how do i reinstall the cpu socket cover

return got approved

[tidal geyser]

in the video

[raw whale]

r u talking to me

[raw whale]

i mean the cpu cover that is supposed to protect the pins

[brisk frost]

That plastic cover?

[raw whale]

yes

[brisk frost]

I usually use a paper towel instead after I remove it the first time

[tidal geyser]

ye?

[tidal geyser]

he still has it

[brisk frost]

[dapper nexus]

@tidal geyser

[tidal geyser]

rip

na try to restart

[dapper nexus]

I did, and then try the top one?

[tidal geyser]

ye

[dapper nexus]

Same issue

[tidal geyser]

do you have internet

[dapper nexus]

No not on pc

I still have the driver from mobo

[tidal geyser]

i dono

i prefer hardware over software support

[dapper nexus]

I installed the mobo one and it just didnt do anything

So now i have no internet and its fucked

[tidal geyser]

rip

[elder quarry]

Sim do something healthy

You’re wasting your time

[dapper nexus]

i unplugged everything, pressed power button for 30 sec on pc and plugged back in and i got it back

[elder quarry]

200k messages

[dapper nexus]

and its at 1gbps now

on auto duplex so its actually recognizing 1gbps

[tidal geyser]

yay

[dapper nexus]

lets hope this also fixed the disconnecting issue, either way thanks allot for the help

i will keep the 2 drivers on my pc in case something happens again

[tidal geyser]

also stop windows update

[dapper nexus]

stop the auto updating thing?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[dapper nexus]

uhhhh is that in services.msc?

[tidal geyser]

do not fuck with system files

[dapper nexus]

i see, do i need to go to services.msc for that?

[tidal geyser]

i know there is a way to stop windows doing it but i have not bothered as i have a that issue with a new laptop i got making the speakers sound like pain

[dapper nexus]

found it

[tidal geyser]

o no

[dapper nexus]

what did u mean then

[tidal geyser]

i meant this

[dapper nexus]

okay

got it, ty

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cute-silly-water-gif-3449636873756800051

[dapper nexus]

i really hope the disconnecting stopped aswell

atleast made a first good step making it so it went to 1gbps on auto negotiation

[random junco]

nice

im buying this

im not even gonna question them

im copping this rn

[white sphinx]

5060 ti w/ 16gb worth it?

[tidal geyser]

maybe

[pulsar horizon]

Depend on the price, if it’s about the same as 9060XT or cheaper, get it instead

[steel umbra]

ask the seller for pic of underside of the mouse

[raw whale]

returned it with no problems

amazon even said that if it was 100% my fault it would still be fine

after all if they really want they can just replace the screw and sell it as used

[unique olive]

Nice 👍

[random junco]

tbh even if it is mint condition i would get it since its like a 1 hour drive

other side of london and theres also toll fees

[raw whale]

my g502 cable is taped with electrical tape

lmao

the cable wore down real fast for some reason

[exotic cape]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-computer-work-bug-developer-gif-596341483704119392

[raw whale]

@tidal geyser for future reference, do yk what size screw driver do i need to use for those screws

[tidal geyser]

maybe a size bigger than what you used now to strip it

[raw whale]

ignore the circle

[raw whale]

thing is idk what size it was

[random junco]

god damn super cheap

[raw whale]

all i know is it was a philips and that i used it for m.2 heatsink

[random junco]

in my exact area too with original box

[tidal geyser]

not even a small chance that is what you should have used

[raw whale]

yeahhhhh well was told to use the same for everything 😂 and that i would be fine

[steel grotto]

guys how much would this PC be worth?

Graphics card - RX 6600 XT
CPU - Ryzen 5 7600x
Ram - 16Gb DDR5
Motherboard - B650M-H/M.2+
Storage - 1TB M.2 Ultra fast
Power Supply - 600w Bronze plus Gamemax
PC Case - CiT Level 1 Micro-ATX

[tidal geyser]

like 500$

PSU and ram should be replaced

[steel grotto]

why?

[tidal geyser]

case too

[tidal geyser]

gamemax?

[stark kiln]

Guys which PSU should I get?

My PC will have a Rx 6600 or Intel arc a750, + R5 5500

[steel umbra]

check out CWT, FSP, HEC/Compucase oem/odm platforms

on spl psu tierlist

[tidal geyser]

a550bn

[stark kiln]

Alright thanks guys

[steel umbra]

Andyson, HKC, High power also has some decent psu platforms

but they’re more region specific when it comes to pricing

[steel grotto]

I took a few photos because I'm looking to sell it, are you sure its worth about 500?

[steel umbra]

CWT (channel well technology) is the main you should be looking at

[tidal geyser]

no maybe a bit less

[steel grotto]

I prebuilted it for about 750 at the tine

[steel umbra]

their platforms are currently based

[gloomy sleet]

my soldering iron came

ordered some solder and a sucker thatll be here some time this decade

[unique olive]

With the Asus Tuf b850 plus I just used the biggest tip in a ifix it kit

[stark kiln]

Read that as soldier and I thought you bought a soldier lol

[gloomy sleet]

dang

thats ironic

i do in fact have a soldier already

[lean plaza]

Do pcs go down in price quick

[frigid topaz]

Just bought this case. Ngl looks very good for only 40€

3 fans included

[lean plaza]

Kinda random tho

[frigid topaz]

Wdym

[lean plaza]

Never heard of that company

[frigid topaz]

True yeah but apparently its a #1 seller and it usually is priced at 70

It's just a case worst case scenario its broken

[raw whale]

looks cute

[frigid topaz]

Idk how good my gpu will fit

3 fan rx 580

[lean plaza]

Might have to mod the case

[frigid topaz]

Yeah I wanted a m atx case cause im getting a m atx motherboard for free

I like smaller pcs

[stark kiln]

It's like 50$?

[frigid topaz]

Yeah

[tidal geyser]

[unique olive]

They look better

[tidal geyser]

why not make a statue

[unique olive]

It’s also a great way to end up getting expensive fans and accidentally committing to an ecosystem now I have to buy more Corsair lx120 fans

[tidal geyser]

this may be a stupid question but is there a way to clear space on my pc without deleting my files? Any free cloud storage app or smth

[ebon marlin]

Cow

[plain cypress]

Delete everything

[white sphinx]

Yeah its about the same, its being sold for 528 usd here new

[plain cypress]

Google drive gives you 15gb for free?

iCloud and OneDrive 5gb for free?

[white sphinx]

Additional drive inside pc

[plain cypress]

So like, you can definitely back stuff up to online drives

But they won't free up a significant amount of space

[dark dune]

i installed very little games trust

smh I have 291gb left of 952gb by just installing games

[white sphinx]

Just get another tb of storage

[plain cypress]

You installed warzone?

[white sphinx]

Its not that expensive anymore

[dark dune]

howd you know 💀

[plain cypress]

It was a joke but actually he did lmao

[dark dune]

gotta wait i guess

[dark dune]

ik it was a joke which I get it but nice foreshadowing 😭

[white sphinx]

Shut down warzone and go mow some lawns, youll get enough for a used tb of storage in a couple of hours

[dark dune]

I only have 2.9 hours right now I just downloaded the game last week

I have most in cs2 whch is 12

[white sphinx]

Broski spent more time installing than playing

[dark dune]

m talking abt playtime hours in cs2 but warzone sure 😭 the journey just started though

Otherwise, on my ps4 I have 781 hours

[hollow moon]

The lure of something like £700 cheaper (for Yellow) and that actually has a battery life has lured me to Android (even though I hate Android). So cancelled Flip 1 DS and ordered Pocket DS for £470.60. Emulation support looks good though even at this early stage and people have said the chip (Snapdragon G3x Gen 2) can do 4x 3DS bc I have no clue about Android specs.

[magic ivy]

found gigabyte rx 7600 at 160e

is that a steal

[trim gyro]

not a steal, but a decent deal

[vestal stream]

It pissed me off how expensive 5800x3ds are on the second hand market

[unique olive]

How much are they used

[vestal stream]

300$

Plus some change

[ebon marlin]

Here they go for 200€ in Finland

[azure topaz]

because they stopped making them like 3 years ago

dont buy them 😭 just go am5

[vestal stream]

The funny thing is that they perform on par with a 9600x. A cpu that currently costs 200$

But so many ppl are still on AM4 me included that we that they collectively are propping up the market

[azure topaz]

aauughggghghh im not explaining this for the 9 millionth time

Sweden, they are rareee here

[vestal stream]

Ik ik don't start with it

[ebon marlin]

Skil isue

[azure topaz]

yes they are currently on par with chips like the 7600 and 7500f but that comes at a cost of more money in the long run for ultimately the same thing by a LOT.

[vestal stream]

Sug av mig

[ebon marlin]

Jag heter homo peter

[azure topaz]

the cost of a 5700x3d or 5800x3d is already 2/3rds the price to just buy am5 outright, it just makes sense to do that and save yourself the money 😭

that is all im clicking out i only clicked on accident

[vestal stream]

Me? I'm skipping this generation entirely lmao. I'll keep my 5800x and 3080ti for 2-3 more years probably

[ebon marlin]

I'm still plenty happy with my 5800x3d + 6800xt

Don't need to upgrade so I also got an OLED monitor

Could easily afford a 5090 but don't need it

[gleaming rose]

rich

[ebon marlin]

Nah

I just flip broken phones

[exotic cape]

To be fair, i could also afford it. But its bad value. At 4k new.

[azure topaz]

i just like fast computer

[ebon marlin]

I mostly just play Dead by Daylight, Fortnite and the Yakuza games so I could even run my games smoothly even on lower end hardware

[exotic cape]

Cheapest 5090 i found.
€2310

[ebon marlin]

I recently started playing Cyberpunk too after they finally fixed FSR and Framegen

[ebon marlin]

2000 for a 5090 that's in stock and 1800€ for a 5090 that's not in stock yet for me

[ebon marlin]

I even sold my Rog Ally since I like my Steam Deck more for it's extra battery life while having a massive performance drop but it's fine for me since I just mostly play games that run well even on low end devices

[exotic cape]

Komplett has like 100+ 5090s in stock.

But the prices are absurd

[azure topaz]

to be honest most games i play run just fine i just like havin new and fast computer

[exotic cape]

B grade for €3100

[azure topaz]

i want to get closer to my refresh rate and rn im like nowheere near

[ebon marlin]

My oled monitor is 1440p 240hz but I'm able to reach that in the games I play

Although with cyberpunk at 1440p ultra settings I'm at 160fps~

[azure topaz]

mine is 1440p 360 and i get like 200ish in most games i play but shit like bf6 and cp2077 naw

[ebon marlin]

In Dead by Daylight the highest the game allows is 120fps due to engine limitations

[unique olive]

Me to I flip phones up in the air drop them and then they are broken

[azure topaz]

real shit

[ebon marlin]

I just buy broken phones and repair them since I have access to a spare parts service only for businesses

[unique olive]

iPhones or android

[ebon marlin]

Just recently bought an iPhone 13 256gb for 180€ and new battery for 10€ was able to sell it for 350€

[ebon marlin]

Both

Few devices I've got rn under repairs

Except the middle white S22 Ultra that sold yesterday

[unique olive]

Damn this mfer in China just spawn camping the parts rolling off Foxconn lines

[ebon marlin]

The pink S23 Ultra went to my girlfriend

Got it for 180€ with a broken screen and new Original Samsung screen was 120€ so 300€ total

[ebon marlin]

Eh I just buy through a middleman (mobileparts.shop)

They only sell to registered businesses not to consumers

[unique olive]

Samsung also doing the yeah this is a color you can’t see except at certain angles thing huh

[ebon marlin]

Oh ye also forgot I just bought 2 new devices aswell

IPhone 12 Pro max and 12

Pro Max for 190€ and 12 for 180€ yumyum

[exotic cape]

I flip phones cause i have a flip phone.

[spring stirrup]

Well atleast Samsung's

[unique olive]

I need to figure out what equipment I would need to replace the argb header on my gpu. It looks pretty simple and may not even need to remove everything cause it sticks out sort of

[ebon marlin]

A soldering iron, flux and solder wick

[cosmic lance]

i have a 500gb hdd, how much should i sell it for? i want to make some cash

[unique olive]

Do I need the blower soldering irons though

[ebon marlin]

Possibly a heat gun

[ebon marlin]

You'd be lucky to get 5€ or 10€

[unique olive]

I got a Milwaukee cordless one but it doesn’t have tips so just hot air everywhere

[cosmic lance]

5$ is like 50 mad, i can be happy with it

i also have a broken laptop screen, is it sellable?

[ebon marlin]

A broken laptop screen? Nah that's just ewaste

[cosmic lance]

an i5 third gen processor?

[ebon marlin]

Check how much similar products are going for locally

Our markets are different

[cosmic lance]

i can check, but i dont know if it sells

[ebon marlin]

You can just undercut a seller

[cosmic lance]

the only ones i found

[ebon marlin]

List it 140

[cosmic lance]

i think 130 is better

but thanks

Or the 7800xt

[ebon marlin]

What about getting a job

[azure topaz]

selling it

[low sage]

You’re unemployed ??

[azure topaz]

selling it

[azure topaz]

i agree

[ebon marlin]

Yeah but I still make good money

I was gonna say 2018 but then I didnt see “8GB or more”

[idle hound]

Black or white monitor arm ( when I upgrade I plan on going white )
I own both so I could always change my mind

[low sage]

can someone explain why these clouds don’t move?

[sinful cobalt]

doesnt matter ur not gonna see the arm nor admire it

also white will be harder to deal with

[low sage]

Whichever ones cheaper

[idle hound]

Fair enough

[idle hound]

They’re my dads, so they are free

[low sage]

Oh

[sinful cobalt]

honestly just my opinion
black would be better since the monitor’s black, basically all the peripherals are black. Having white in the middle sticking out wouldnt make sense.

[idle hound]

Probably glaciers??? Or what? Would be weird if they don’t move, def out of my brain capacity

[idle hound]

Yeah

Well I might go white in the future

What abt a mousemat while im at it
Do I go black (pattern / plain)
White (pattern/plain)
or an rgb one from SteelSeries (plain black with rgb outside)

Idk if I love or hate the rgb part yk

[tribal sentinel]

anyone know how to get arid of this fps overlay i know its not my monitor as it shows up on my secondary one too

[sinful cobalt]

A plain white mousepad sounds like a horror to maintain

[sinful cobalt]

look in the game settings for “show fps”

[tribal sentinel]

ok

ya just checked its in other games

[azure topaz]

close fraps

or is that the steam overlay? but it looks like fraps

[tribal sentinel]

I dont even know what it was but when I closed the game it went away and now it's gone in every game

[spring stirrup]

Why didn’t you suggest this?

[cold skiff]

Correct it’s fraps

[tribal sentinel]

Dont have fraps

[cold skiff]

Steam overlay is small and for me, green but believe you can change colour

You have after burner installed yes?

[idle hound]

Was thinking one more patterned if I go white

[cold skiff]

They both use the same

[midnight jungle]

This bad if aio is not intake

[azure topaz]

RTSS by default looks nothing like fraps

[idle hound]

Really tho? Honestly black for me is already bad…

[kindred halo]

@azure topaz @rigid fjord Doing a basic upgrade on my system before upgrading to AM5 (which if all goes well will be within the end of this year or early next year)

Extra stick of 8GB DDR3 & an i7 4770

[cold skiff]

Black looks dirty. White looks filthy

[idle hound]

Probs cuz I haven’t cleaned it since Christmas tho

[azure topaz]

yippie

[cold skiff]

Bottom intake you’re fine

[idle hound]

Do I go with patten tho? And what abt rgb???

[midnight jungle]

85 c cpu in bf6 should i be worried ?

[cold skiff]

The bottom AIO fan is redundant if intake, the intake fan on the right is best as that fan gets pure clean air

[true stirrup]

That's all personal preference

[kindred halo]

It's just to help with the awful bottleneck

[idle hound]

True, I just don’t know if I’d hate or love it

[kindred halo]

CPU & RAM wise

[midnight jungle]

Should o swap ? Then for intake

[cold skiff]

Potentially the rear exhaust as a side intake may be beneficial for cpu with that vrm fan on AIO though

That’s the only one I’d change and test

So you have a through flow of air and not forces fighting to intake/expel

But it probably won’t make a big difference

[midnight jungle]

Wich one the to only have 1intake and the reput exo

[cold skiff]

Rear exhaust to intake

[true stirrup]

You want equal/more of intake than exhaust

[cold skiff]

Then you have clean air up and in from the left and out on the right through AIO fans

Right now clean air fights left and right

[true stirrup]

[kindred halo]

@true stirrup Genuinely, I am not just throwing that phrase around

GPU barely gets 20% util and doesn't break 100w

Whilst the CPU is never below 80%

[cold skiff]

He has no front fans

[kindred halo]

Could also be CPU damage from the JDAM

[cold skiff]

That’s why I say, rear exhaust to intake

[true stirrup]

He should

[midnight jungle]

Make this a intake u mean

[cold skiff]

Yes

[midnight jungle]

And to leave aio as it is

[cold skiff]

Looks like a glass panel in that photo at front

[midnight jungle]

Would i work bad for cpu

[cold skiff]

It’s better intake for cpu because you have no front fans and glass at front

[midnight jungle]

So u should swap aio as intake then

Would the temps change

[cold skiff]

No no no

[midnight jungle]

Cuz 2krpm goin sounds like a fucking p4 trying to play

[cold skiff]

Bottom 3 intake and rear intake. AIO exhaust. Optimal for that design

[midnight jungle]

Gona show how much it sounds in normal with nothing used

Idk what to do more

[true stirrup]

The front is that right side

In a fish tank case

Hey I need some help buying a new laptop. My university is requires these specs for my program: Systems should have at minimum an Intel Core i9/i7 or AMD Ryzen 7/9 CPU, 16-32 GB RAM, 500+ GB of free disk space to install software and dedicated graphics card NVIDIA or AMD with at least 4 GB of dedicated memory.

I would prefer it do be 16 inches with 32gb ram and 1tb ssd, it must have good battery life, and if it is 2-in-1 thats great.

I currently have a budget of 3k CAD but a little over is fine.

[spring latch]

I find it super fcking dumb that universities (AND SCHOOLS AS A WHOLE) expect everybody to buy everything like they're rich

[midnight jungle]

Cuz of that cpu im was considering maby cuz exo it so high

[latent gull]

If your going to university, you probably have money or scholarship money

[twilit solar]

fr like i have to spend 3 bands for ts

[spring latch]

i mean sure, but some people take out loans

that they'll never recover from.

[latent gull]

Don’t go to that university

[true stirrup]

I've just been using remote desktop to my home PC

[spring latch]

thats not the exact way tho, all universities are dead ass expensive, idek if its required to be that expensive

[twilit solar]

its better than uw for my sanity

[midnight jungle]

So u saybg should swap for intake

[latent gull]

Okay, then find an alternative to university

[twilit solar]

my friend has to be in class from like 8am to 6pm

Hello gay people on my phone screen

[twilit solar]

i found some gaming laptops but their battery dies 1% every minute (comment from a reddit user) then lenono yoga which has soldered ram which is ass, then some hp but it has 16gb ram and isnt even available

[cunning flume]

should i upgrade from r5 7600x?

[true stirrup]

If all the stuff is running fine for you then no, if it isn't then upgrade GPU

[ebon marlin]

Gaming laptops can have good battery life just need to get one that has Optimus

[daring crystal]

Do I need Micro RGB TV?

[cunning flume]

idk i upgraded my whole pc but i dont se much increase of performance

[spring latch]

well 16-32GB, 32GB will be expensive, 16GB may not be enough. Aim for 24GB
Storage, 1TB
GPU? If you are really money bound, AMD Radeon RX 6700M maybe, it has 10GB
Storage? 1TB NVMe SSD
CPU? Ryzen 7 7840HS maybe, 8 cores 16 threads
Im not an expert so dont take my word for it, this is my general idea for such a PC

I dont reccomend intel unless the CPU is 10th, 11th, or 12th gen

[hallow jasper]

what?

[latent gull]

You heard the man

[true stirrup]

What was the upgrade?

[unique olive]

You can get a g16 13900hx with 4070 for under $1000usd if you look in the right places got one for $950 from Walmart it was their display laptop

[rigid fjord]

well as a 7840hs is laptop only, don't you mean a 7700x for desktop

[azure topaz]

gt 710 to gt 730

idk if they make laptops with those exact specs so im providing an idea of what to look for generally

lenovo legion 5 with a 7840hs or 8840hs/8845hs + 4060/4070, if you buy it as a base model and just upgrade the screen, you can add in the ram/change it out for a complete 2x 16gb kit (32gb total) and as you can add in a second drive on it, grab a decent 2tb/4tb drive for storage ontop of it's basic 512gb main drive

[azure topaz]

tldr less bubbles like kes said

steve is dramatic it wont kill anything (probably) but yeah top is better

[rigid fjord]

for a 6700m laptop, it would be a 5600h/5800h as the cpu, which tbh would be the likes of a gen 5/6 legion 5 or similar laptop from the same era said gens of legion 5's was made

not if hes filtering by gpu score

[cold skiff]

VRAM clock better also

[azure topaz]

which is the proper way of comparing gpus in 3dmark

[cold skiff]

Losing out that vram clock on 1 is insane

[true stirrup]

7200MT/s cl30 16GB

[cold skiff]

Up vram 100mhz

[mortal venture]

This one have a ryzen 7500F in it

[azure topaz]

16gb x2?

[true stirrup]

Single stick still
I really need to get another one but it's constantly out of stock

[azure topaz]

pain

[true stirrup]

Not possible

[cold skiff]

As I said. Ram and vram holding ya back for number 1

[true stirrup]

Maybe during a cold winter day

[azure topaz]

ram is probably doing nothing, this is steel nomad i think

[cunning flume]

is 5200 good?

[azure topaz]

it would matter if it was a test that had a cpu test/physics/combined test but it doesnt in this instance

like changing your ram speed then testing with cinebench

[true stirrup]

This max I can reach on an average day

[cold skiff]

Shall see if he gets 32gb

[true stirrup]

Aim for 6000MT/s cl36 or cl30

[cunning flume]

i already have 5200 but its single channel

[azure topaz]

i wonder what ddr5 ic doesnt do 6k

[cold skiff]

Gpu water blocked?

[mortal venture]

Looks like fun

[true stirrup]

Correct

[mortal venture]

💀

Make sure to check your motherboards qvl I decided to try some Corsair cl36 6000 that wasn’t on the qvl and the xmp didn’t show up and the rgb on one of the sticks was permanently red

Got some gskill cl30 6000 when I was at a micro center

[cunning flume]

nah its some kingston furry beast or something like that

[unique olive]

They had a whole bunch of Msi x870 (I think) on sale for $220 off from over $300 wasn’t about to tear apart my brand new pc for features I don’t need though

[true stirrup]

That should be Hynix A die
You can try to get it to 6000MT/s cl30

Check the die first tho

[sinful cobalt]

x870 isnt worth it for the average user

Not sure about ur b850 prices, but if you think the difference is worth it then sure

(This is assuming indeed the discount)

[azure topaz]

that’s just a defective stick lol

QVL is useless

[sinful cobalt]

Still would at least check the description of the ram to double check it wont be usable for any platform, specifically for core ultra

Bought some ram thinking for a core ultra 265k build, but went back to double check and saw it wouldnt work so I refunded lmao

[unique olive]

It was the same price as b850’s depending on the brand

[unique olive]

Whatever it was it’s Best Buy’s problem now

[stoic nova]

I built a thing

[limber nacelle]

tall

[iron glen]

interesting use of pool noodles

[stoic nova]

I had air seal issues around the bottom with just weather stripping

These noodles did the trick

[iron glen]

ah

[solid quail]

The 70€ PC is ready. Probably need some upgrades and then it'll be a 85€ PC

i5 6500, GTX 1660super, 8GB DDR4, 256GB nvme and a 2TB HDD

need to get a 16GB kit for 15€

[queen crow]

i want to ask something real quick. Is installing Windows 11 on unsupported hardware recommended? I'm using Windows 10 LTSC, and it runs fine. I wonder if Windows 11 is going to perform the same way?

[outer gorge]

Bought this baby at FB marketplace for like $50 USD

[gleaming rose]

I think that's a chair

you can't buy babies anymore we outlawed that

[iron glen]

good point

man this diet soda really is diet it tastes very unplesant

[formal sonnet]

Damn son, where'd ya find that?! If it's in good condition, that there Herman Miller Mirra 2 chair is worth approximately $600 CAD on the used market. If you need a chair, enjoy that one cause getting it for $50 is an ABSOLUTE steal.

[queen crow]

still using my chair
for like 18 years

😭

[outer gorge]

Yeah, looks and feels real good, finally moving from my generic red dragon chair lol

[formal sonnet]

While you can bypass requirements, there's no guarantee that major version updates will install, graphics drivers will work smoothly, or other things won't break. It's kind of an "at your own risk" thing.

[queen crow]

im going to use ltsc.. no majors updates...

[formal sonnet]

You... Bought a license for LTSC?

[queen crow]

uhm

[dapper light]

Imo, if your pc is old enough to not fit the requirement, it's in no business running a heavier OS (even if the TPM req doesn't exist)

true most of the time

10 LTSC is fine

[formal sonnet]

For now, until you want to use a feature that either requires Consumer Windows or a newer version.

[queen crow]

I don't have any issues with it. I wanted to see if 11 works fine so I can switch to 11 already

[queen crow]

My brother tested it on his laptop, which is weaker than my PC. It seemed to work fine, but he switched back to 10.

[alpine heron]

11 is similar bloat to 10 though?

[solid quail]

it will work fine, HOWEVER if you play games that use kernel level anticheats, most of those will require TPM 2.0 on windows 11. If your system has no TPM 2.0, you will not be able to play those games

[alpine heron]

Just upgrade to 11 legitimately, take the system offline, or switch to some Linux flavor

[solid quail]

my 5960x with 32GB of RAM runs windows 11 quite well

[jagged jay]

i need someones opinion ive recently bought a pc for 700 dollars aud and its got a ryzen 5 7600x rtx 3060ti 12GB 3tb of m.2 ssd storage and 32GB of cosair ram. ive run stress tests on it and theres no thermal throttling or temp issues was this a good purchase 😭

[queen crow]

im on 4590 idk

[left dove]

I love how every time you pull this line people always lock up

[queen crow]

cuz ofc....

[solid quail]

yeah, win11 4c4t haswells is a nightmare unless you debloat

[left dove]

Just don't discuss your methods

nor the site you used for info
nor the places you downloaded from

[queen crow]

yeah the only thing i said is
i use it

[left dove]

yeah kirashi's fucking w/ you lmao

[solid quail]

here's my trusty ancient little system

[queen crow]

yeah no, i wont use the normal 11 😭

[solid quail]

i7 5960X@4.2ghz, 32GB DDR4 2400, GTX 1070

[left dove]

"debloat" = 100s of new points for your os to brick itself

[formal sonnet]

Not really. We're required to uphold Discord ToS, lest the entire community server and every account within it could be banned by Discord. I personally would love for that to NOT happen. 🤷

[left dove]

No I understand you're also doing the moderator thing

[solid quail]

I do have this thing lying around, but I just frankly do not care to swap it

[queen crow]

I'm sitting here with a cheap SSD and an Intel HD 4600. I'm using a 9500 GT only because of its DVI port, as the VGA connection makes my screen look terrible. I switch to Intel HD/VGA when I want to play games because it gives me better performance than that crappy NVIDIA card.

Basically, both VGA and DVI are connected to my monitor at the same time, lo

[formal sonnet]

For example, I have a legitimately purchased license through a prior legal educational channel, but... since Adobe believes I'm not allowed to activate and use what I've paid for anymore, I've gone above their silly activation ways. Though I'm slowly learning to use Serif Affinity software day by day.

[left dove]

:3

We respect rules, not giant corpos

[hearty olive]

tried out setting up a spare laptop as a minecraft server today, pretty easy process for a noob

hell of a lot cheaper than an equivalent server rental

[formal sonnet]

Exactly. It's why I ask people if they have a license, not how they activate the software. 😉 IMO software activate processes should NEVER detract from the user experience. Ever. If your activation process is more difficult than simply logging in (for online services) or inputting a license key once (no challenge response to an online server), you're doing it wrong.

[queen crow]

I'm not that dumb. I know the Discord rules.😔

[left dove]

The only giant corpo I really respect is lego

gobbless lego, rip their production costs w/ todays age

[uncut barn]

should i use thermal pads to replace the messed up thermal goop in my pc

[left dove]

no, use thermal paste where thermal paste is, and use pads where pads are

[rigid fjord]

you just like having some people step on lego ;P

[uncut barn]

it was more like thermal taffy and it was annoying to scrape off

so im leaning more into using pads

[left dove]

No I just want more lego

[hearty olive]

on a cpu or elsewhere @uncut barn

[left dove]

do not use pads for a cpu.

[uncut barn]

cpu and gpu

[hearty olive]

thermal pads are generally horrible for a cpu yes

[unique olive]

My cousin got in trouble for using a “legit” version of solid works he got from someone in college turns out don’t send files to someone whose using a paid seat

[left dove]

DO NOT use pads for cpu/gpu ever.

[uncut barn]

how about ptm

ptm 7950

[left dove]

just get arctic mx3 😭

[uncut barn]

im afraid of spilling

[hexed tapir]

Mine is valve/steam

[left dove]

old thermal paste gets cludgey and sometimes difficult to remove, that does not mean you should start experimenting with cooling methods if you're not privy to what you're doing

[hearty olive]

please do not use that phase change garbage. artic mx(x) is way better than any pad or phase change pad

[left dove]

mx3 is a thermal paste not a thermal liquid

[hearty olive]

i have used mx6 lately because it’s what i have and it’s excellent

but i’ve heard people prefer mx4

[left dove]

oh there's mx6 now?

[grave magnet]

Hello

[left dove]

god im old

[hearty olive]

yeah

[left dove]

wow fuck you

[hearty olive]

sorry i had to go check

[upbeat cove]

i think we were on mx4 back in 2017

[uncut barn]

but i thought one of the linus videos said ptm 7950 was aight unless im just outdated
