[livid mason]

Hoping my dad will let me drive to Microcenter and he'll fund a $16 project I have in mind

[crude blade]

Okay so slightly revised, how's this? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/B2jbPJ

[steel umbra]

i’d love to switch from youtube, but way too many people use it

bilibili looks interesting tho

[sinful cobalt]

thats better

[knotty iris]

Id say go with a better motherboard b650 is kinda low end for a 9800x3d and a 5070ti

[cinder fog]

lol found a logitech pro x 60 for $12 today. no dongle but oh well lol

of course, the dongle is 3x as much xD

[steel umbra]

tbh not worth even the $12

logitech charges huuuuge premium

[stone temple]

Could somone help with a mini ITX built, I have a 2070 Super, DDR5 32Gb ram and a AMD ryzen 5 5000 series. And Im buying these parts. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fC9tfd

[steel umbra]

they’re in the dead pool of companies due to chinese competitiveness (not really people still buy ‘em)

[stone temple]

Any recommendations would help

[clear canyon]

uhhhh, you CANT use ddr5 with ryzen 5000

[cinder fog]

it works wired

[clear canyon]

you need am5

[stone temple]

Why?

[clear canyon]

not am4

[steel umbra]

logitech is still stuck in 2017

[clear canyon]

bc it does not support it

[stone temple]

I swear I have that in my current pc

[clear canyon]

you must use ddr4

[stone temple]

That I use, Let me double check

[clear canyon]

i 100% doubt

yeah this wont work at all

[cinder fog]

tbh ill prolly never even get the chance to get a $100+ keyboard again so i pulled the trigger lol

[clear canyon]

you need a new cpu and ram for am5

[stone temple]

Yea your right, I have 7000 series ryzen 5

[steel umbra]

oh, forgot to ask, where do you live?

[stone temple]

I wrote it down wrong in my notes

[steel umbra]

do you have access to aliexpress?

[cinder fog]

us, found it in an amazon returns bins store lol

[clear canyon]

what exactly do you need to complete the itx build

[steel umbra]

check out aliexpress if something doesn’t catch your eye

[stone temple]

PSU, Case, motherboard, Wifi and a CPU cooler

I have GPU, CPU, storage and RAM

[clear canyon]

the motherboard has wifi built in

also that psu is doodoo

[stone temple]

What should I use instead

[cinder fog]

most mobos have doo doo wifi adapters tho

[stone temple]

Honestly Im also tryna do this on a budget alittle

[clear canyon]

no

[clear canyon]

there isnt budget in itx

ur paying a premium for itx

[stone temple]

and yes Ik i shouldn’t be doing mini ITX if I was on a budget

[cinder fog]

just imo, a good pcie wifi adapter is better

[steel umbra]

@cinder fog but if you want to preserve nature take the kb then sure

[clear canyon]

not really

[stone temple]

Unfortunately I live btween 2 countries so the ability to easily transfer my PC is rly useful

[clear canyon]

then why not get a laptop

[stone temple]

Bc to complete a mini ITX build it would cost me 600 dollars

But a laptop would cost me 1600

[clear canyon]

can your gpu fit?

[stone temple]

I believe so

[clear canyon]

pcpp wont list the psu, but get this: https://a.co/d/1rexqYX

[limber cloak]

Hi guys I was thinking about buying a game controller. It needs to be both compatible with macOS and windows 11. Do you have any suggestions?

I'm not going to play FPS games maybe the one with most needs of low latency is clair33?

[stone temple]

I believe I have this GPU

[clear canyon]

im suprised to see ppl still useing rtx 20 series

[stone temple]

How much cheaper is just a ITX

[stone temple]

runs my game ok ish

[cinder fog]

im still on 1080 ti xD im gonna let it burn first

[stone temple]

Im willing to upgrade though

[clear canyon]

i cant stand to have low fps

[stone temple]

neither can I but I only play 1 game

[clear canyon]

so I got something that wont lol

[stone temple]

Tarkov, which runs fine

[cinder fog]

ill prolly go 3070 next

[clear canyon]

no it doesnt lmao

[steel umbra]

@clear canyon why is de cow eating clippy

[clear canyon]

tarkov runs like shit lol

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/frank-castle-wait-please-stop-please-no-please-gif-21133188

[stone temple]

My settings are fine for 70fps

No complaints

[clear canyon]

it runs like shit on my system lmao

its a terribly optimized game

[stone temple]

i dont disagree, but all I need is for tarkov to run well enough to play

and it does at medium settings, at around 50-70

[clear canyon]

why 3070? the 8gigs screws it over

id do 4070 tbh

newer, better and more vram

[cinder fog]

better specs than 1080 ti and cheap used on ebay

[vital marlin]

whats the best type of ram for a 9700x?

speed and cl mostly

[cinder fog]

i could do 4070 tho

[clear canyon]

6000mhz cl30

[stone temple]

All good to do a full build?

[cinder fog]

i play in 1080 ultrawide tho, hell i still get 60fps on most games unless i heavely mod them or something

[clear canyon]

wdym

[stone temple]

Still sending

Im on a plane rn so wifi is sketch

Its a photo of amazon basket

[vital marlin]

cl 30 or cl40?

[clear canyon]

always cl30

lower is better

[stone temple]

nvm these images wont send

It was the parts picker list with the psu u recommended

Can I save some money on the case

[steel umbra]

i’ve been teached bigger better always :sadge:

bigger debt

[clear canyon]

😠

[vital marlin]

cl30 is freaking expensive, like 50% more than cl40

[clear canyon]

cl40 is ass

[steel umbra]

how much do they cost exactly, which model

how many mt/s?

check out cl32-cl36 too

though those may not be hynix but samsung

cl40 is likely to be micron

[barren breach]

White 😩

[clear canyon]

I use these: https://a.co/d/bCPc1Je

[trim gyro]

cl40 is shit

[steel umbra]

if lower mt/s

[steel umbra]

rm750explosive

[clear canyon]

its a decent psu, wdym

[clear canyon]

just now realized the damn pc never saved the new link to the ram I was talking about

[vital marlin]

168 per dimm, so over 300

[clear canyon]

what?

[olive gulch]

Does anyone here know anything about servers?

[clear canyon]

what server

[vital marlin]

thats the prices for it here. i need 2

[clear canyon]

"server" is too vague

[olive gulch]

HX GA88-B5631

[clear canyon]

2 of what, they come in a kit

[olive gulch]

It's a GPU server

[stone temple]

Question, If I have a mac laptop and some of my classes require programes like AUTO CAD, how viable would it be to stream my desktop at home to my mac during classes

[vital marlin]

well then its not gonna work, i need 64gb on 2 slots

[clear canyon]

ok, what about it

[clear canyon]

why 64?

[clear canyon]

all depends on ur network on both ends

[vital marlin]

cuz thats what i need.

[trim gyro]

Does your school have remote access PCs

it would be weird if a school offers a 3D Design course without providing a Windows PC

[stone temple]

Is there a high requirement

[stone temple]

They don’t provide but they recommend a laptop

[clear canyon]

https://a.co/d/ba6YQF1

[upbeat cove]

autocad runs on mac

[clear canyon]

whats ur home network speed

[stone temple]

I was wondering if i could run a remote desktop with my one Ill have in my apartment

[vital marlin]

no cl30 like everyone just said i have to have

[olive gulch]

Well I bought the motherboard for a tyan thunder hx ga88-b5631 server trying to make a diy GPU server I could use to runs VMS on and I got the GPUs and the motherboard but an oversight on my my end I forgot about the GPU risers and I can't find the GPU risers anywhere for this server it is a m5631-r16-x gpu riser and I need 4 of them

[stone temple]

Maybe like 30MBs

[clear canyon]

oh, i clicked on the wrong one

[stone temple]

Problem is its the lowest spec mac

[upbeat cove]

apple silicon or intel?

[vital marlin]

from when, what is the cpu?

[upbeat cove]

i ran autocad flawlessly on an 8 core m1 with 8gb of ram

[stone temple]

i think 2022

[upbeat cove]

you're better off than i was

[stone temple]

no 2021

[upbeat cove]

still. mine was a 2020 model

[stone temple]

But it was the cheapest one I could get at the time

[upbeat cove]

autocad isn't particularly demanding

[stone temple]

Well im actually not sure if i only need autoCAD only

[clear canyon]

on what

[stone temple]

I haven’t even started. But whatever programs a electrical engineering degree would require

[clear canyon]

30MB up or down

[upbeat cove]

regardless i think you'll be fine. if you need to run solidworks then that might be a different story though

[stone temple]

down

[clear canyon]

whats ur up bc streaming from ur main pc needs it

[stone temple]

Honestly I couldnt rly tell you im sorry

Not at my apartment rn im getting there in a few hours I could provide more info

[upbeat cove]

it's likely 30mb up at best if it's 30 down

[clear canyon]

he said 30 up so i bet its like 10MB down max

[stone temple]

I also am not sure what my campus speeds are

[upbeat cove]

they said 30 down

[stone temple]

If you tell me what Ill need I can check when I get there

[upbeat cove]

you should figure out what software you'll be using before looking into a solution you likely shouldn't be worrying about

[stone temple]

👍

Ill inquire, I just dont wanna miss the discount that my uni is offering rn

But i think I only save like 300

[clear canyon]

you got 30MB up and down? is it fiber? if so, why is it so low?

[olive gulch]

@clear canyon what I'm trying to do is build my own budget server to run VMS on and after a bunch of looking I found a mother board for the Tyan Thunder HX GA88-B5631 that was going for an amazing price and met all of my requirements the problem is after I bought it an oversight I didn't think about is the risers I need to connect the GPUs to the motherboard. The risers are proprietary and I can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find 4 of the (M5631-R16-x) GPU risers for this server motherboard.

[clear canyon]

prob ebay

[stone temple]

Regardless, is remote desktop difficult to setup?

[clear canyon]

no

[stone temple]

Cool, ill then just look intonit

But for now Im gonna try build this mini Itx

[swift moss]

been going at it for 4 hours now

[clear canyon]

4 hour for 60gig 🙁

[stone temple]

Wait is itx much cheaper than mini itx

Or are they similar

[clear canyon]

no

[swift moss]

its logarithmic I swear to god

[olive gulch]

@clear canyon ebay got nothing

[stone temple]

Also are they hard to build due to limited space

I have built like 1 pc in my life and replaced a few parts but im no pro

[clear canyon]

try asking @thorny saddle

[olive gulch]

@thorny saddle do you got any ideas where I can source 4 m5631-r16-x gpu risers for a tyan thunder hx ga88-b5631 server motherboard.

[feral stream]

More like very early 90s but 🤷‍♂️

[clear canyon]

buy why

i doubt there is any use for it

cool find tho

[feral stream]

Did you just say there’s no use for a CD player?

[clear canyon]

you use cd's?

[feral stream]

Yes it’s a CD player better quality than you can stream from Spotify and it’s nice to own physical media

[clear canyon]

fair but you gotta buy CD's and I rarely see them now days

[feral stream]

Luckily, I live in Minnesota and there’s still a store in Minneapolis where you can get new records and CDs or you can just order it off of Amazon

[clear canyon]

nice

[feral stream]

Sidenote, I think I found a limit to what too much is the set up is not even complete. I still need to hang up 4 more speakers.

[clear canyon]

lmao, whats the setup

I run a single 6.5 in my dorm and its more than enough bass for me here as I dont want a noise complaint

I also run a single 10in in my car

[swift moss]

THIS GUY

[clear canyon]

HAHA nerd

[swift moss]

need to split the compute lmfao

[clear canyon]

what model did you use 70B?

[swift moss]

120B

[clear canyon]

BRUH

thats fucking massive

[swift moss]

i can run the 20b one ig

[sleek ibex]

[feral stream]

denon avr-x3700h
9.2

definitive technology bp-8020st

definitive technology studiomonitor 350

definitive technology promonitor 800

2 martinlogan dynamo 700 it like a 10 in 300w rms

The 350s are the rears and the 800s are the sides and heights

[clear canyon]

nice

[swift moss]

damn nice

[feral stream]

forgot to mention that I have a CS 2002 as the center channel

[swift moss]

why not 9.1.2 atmos?

[clear canyon]

do 70b if you have 48gigs of vram

[feral stream]

7.2.2

[swift moss]

the x3700h has an atmos preprocessor unlike mine ever will 🫠

[swift moss]

gpt-oss doesnt have 70gb, i have 8gb vram

i really need to get a tesla accelerator

[feral stream]

I could do 7.2.4 but I would need an external amp

[swift moss]

tesla p40 a24gb getting cheaper

[swift moss]

why? does your one not support it?

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-sad-despair-rolling-screaming-gif-25163099

[feral stream]

It supports the processing, but not delivering the power to all of those channels at once

[swift moss]

you can run the channels at 1 watt and it would be fine bro

[clear canyon]

buy 2 3090s

you can SLI them

[swift moss]

WAYYY outta my budget

[feral stream]

Not how it works

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/steal-kazuma-konosuba-gif-18846520

[swift moss]

it really is though, they got a power supply that sends X watts to each channel

[feral stream]

If I was to pick a receiver for the set up again, I would definitely pick the Onkyo tx-rz50

[feral stream]

I also really couldn’t mount rear high channels as a support beam is in the way

[swift moss]

sending some free non-functional dannyaudio designs

[feral stream]

So for me right now, there’s no point

[swift moss]

true yeah

[feral stream]

I can’t wait to try the CD player though

[swift moss]

20b worked

[swift moss]

mcintosh?

[feral stream]

Jvc

[swift moss]

"dissalowed topic hmm"

[swift moss]

niceee i love jvc projectors, they are my dream

[feral stream]

You can actually pick them up for around $60 on eBay very undervalued for the performance of it. The harmonic distortion is incredibly low

[swift moss]

like one of these

[swift moss]

digital masters have less distortion technically

Or be like me where sound quality is more important lol

im a mix of both

[clear canyon]

my suggestion curb stomps that

i want imax at home but my living room would get flattened with the rms of those imax subwoofers

there's vinyl rips and bandcamp and master rips

what's the point of having anything higher than that for listening purposes

wayyy cheaper than cd

[swift moss]

not wasting money and space on cds

[feral stream]

Why would I get a vinyl rip?🤨

[upbeat cove]

true

[swift moss]

well first of all its 48khz and second of all you don't need to buy the vinyl

[upbeat cove]

vinyl is not 48khz

[feral stream]

True

[swift moss]

same with a cd rip, but usually you just get masters from bandcamp unless its like michael jackson

prove it

Can you even measure vinyl and kilohertz?

[upbeat cove]

it quite literally is

yes, the rate of samples from the spindle

you can rip a vinyl at whatever sample rate you want but there's nothing there

@upbeat cove just so you know

6. Do not illegally share content. The discussion of piracy/torrenting is allowed on a broad scale, but specific discussion of DRM circumvention is not allowed.

But I now pay for my games 👼

[ivory mountain]

Me when I lie

[feral stream]

There’s not a single pirated game on my computer everything that I liked I bought

Main reason I stopped was ISP shut down the Internet and my parents got pissed

I was taking heavy procedures too, but I guess I was doing it so much that it caught some attention

Was probably like one and a half terabytes of pirate games

I also have a job now, which helps a lot when you wanna buy a video game 😅

Moral of the story don’t pirate video games. Your ISP won’t be too happy about it. Don’t think that your ISP is chill like that the government isn’t

[vital marlin]

will a 9070xt be bottlenecked by a 9700x?

[ebon marlin]

No

And I'd suggest getting a 7800x3d/9800x3d instead

[vital marlin]

im limited by tdp in a terra

[ebon marlin]

Can most likely find an used 7800x3d for same price as the 9700x

[ebon marlin]

What

[vital marlin]

the fractal design terra case is very small and I have to use a low profile cooler shorter than 62mm tall. most of the ones i can find are about 105-120w max TDP. the 7800x3d and 9800x3d are 120w tdp chips which means I would not have sufficient cooling

[ebon marlin]

Neither of them pull 120w they literally can't

People have tried to push those chips but they won't consume more than 90w of power

But you'll never see 90w of power being used

You'd be lucky to even see 30w of power being used with them

[vital marlin]

power used is not tdp

[ebon marlin]

Tdp is a stupid metric which doesn't mean anything

Tdp's are completely useless

[vital marlin]

that is simply false

[ebon marlin]

Unfortunately it isn't

It is well known that tdp's are completely useless

[vital marlin]

okay prove it

[ebon marlin]

7800x3d is an example

[vital marlin]

show me your sources

[ebon marlin]

Says it's 120w but literally no one ever has gotten it to 120w

All core benchmark

So all the cores on the 7800x3d are maxxed

[static gulch]

guys, is nvidia better for ai stuff

[ebon marlin]

And lp coolers won't be an issue unless you plan on running synthetic tests on the cpu 24/7

[feral kelp]

Has LTT done a silent fanless build for a video yet, if not then I think that's an idea that I'd like to see them do.

https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/bundle-and-save.aspx

[static gulch]

guys?

[feral kelp]

If it's what you like then yeah, just make sure what you're getting is the best value and bang for buck for you and it's fine.

[feral kelp]

Yes. Nvidia is by some way better for AI.

[silent scarab]

Someone else made the list for me. This is my original one.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8BLTHG

[static gulch]

but is it worth only getting a 4060 ti 16gb for it lmao

[ebon marlin]

Absolute poop

Pooppenschlinger

What are you doing with the puter

Gaming or productivity or both

[silent scarab]

It's a year old. I just keep forgetting to actually buy my new gaming pc/upgrade.

[feral kelp]

Depends how much it costs and if that's the best deal you can find for it. Ideally you wanna be on a 5060Ti, even the 8GB one because that's the latest Gen and should be better, it might limit you a bit on gaming and resale value though.

[silent scarab]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kGNVbK This is my current build.
Not swaping anything but the storage drives. Getting a Nvme for boot drive,
Gaming and streaming.

[ebon marlin]

Do you even need the 4tb of nvme storage

[static gulch]

dw they’re not using it for anything else

[silent scarab]

No because i'm just gonna use server parts deals/ what ever wd easystore goes on sale at best buy.

[feral kelp]

5070Ti is the best value card for AI work loads but it's very expensive obvs. Maybe if you buy a used 4070Ti Super otherwise idk.

[feral kelp]

Yeah, then 5060Ti if that's all the budget can handle, otherwise 4070Ti Super or any powerful card they can afford with Tensor will do.

[silent scarab]

Anyone have a better build list for me?

[feral kelp]

Do you think you need to upgrade or do you just wanna upgrade for the sale of it.

[silent scarab]

Can barely play some games i want at decent settings, Still rocking a 1080 ti sc edition which i will port to my server for on the fly Plex encoding.

[feral kelp]

Also, it depends on your budget and needs. Personally I'd skip the 7900XTX and go for the 9070XT, I would only get the XTX with a super flash sale or something.

[silent scarab]

Sorry this is the current list. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CscmMC

[static gulch]

they want 16gb tho

so i’m hardlocked lmao

[silent scarab]

5070 ti is more than enough for 1440p and cheaper.

amd or intel?

[ebon marlin]

If ur gaming then AMD

Especially the 7800x3d or 9800x3d

Best gaming cpus out there

[feral kelp]

They will have to pay for it then. I only recommend the 5060TI GB if it's all they can afford, I just know that it has more Tensor than it's predecessor, ideally getting a powerful card with more ram is ideal but if the 60 series is all you can afford, the 5060Ti is the way, even with less ram.

[silent scarab]

https://i.imgur.com/6Wray2f.png

[feral kelp]

How much budget do you have, I think any X3D is best for gaming but it also depends on your Budget. 5070Ti is really good if you're not just gaming because of the feature set, but for gaming alone it's a overpriced imo, but it also depends where you are in the world.

[ebon marlin]

5070 Ti and 9070 xt are basically same price

[silent scarab]

extra $140 for 64 gb ram instead of 32gb isn't a bad deal.

[feral kelp]

Where I am it's at least 150 dollars more on average.

[ebon marlin]

In the US the difference is under 50 bucks

[feral kelp]

Damn, then Nvidia all the way lol.

[silent scarab]

$2500 base but can increase if necessary, Should be less with the microcenter bundle not counting buying more hard drives.

[ebon marlin]

I'd still stay with the 9070 xt personally

[feral kelp]

Eventually, you will want to hand this build down to your server right?

[ebon marlin]

Genuinely have only had awful experience with Nvidia products and I've owned a shitton of em

[silent scarab]

No because i'm going to build my server with my current pc.

[ebon marlin]

Every single 30 series card except the 3080 and from the 40 series the 4060 and 4070 ti super just to name from the modern gen

[silent scarab]

it's only gonna be a media/file server. an 8700k and 32 gb 3200 cl16 memory should last a long time

I cant drop 10k on the new build but i'm not stuck at at 1200 build like others(no offense).

[static gulch]

they want 32 gb of normal ram

[feral kelp]

I mean in the distan future but it's fine either way. Of these I think the 9950X3D is the best deal but it's also super expensive. After that I think the next best is the 7800X3D. Really with each of these you get what you pay for. If you only need for gaming and nothing else then the 7600X3D bundle is even enough.

[silent scarab]

It's good for streaming?

[ebon marlin]

Yes

[feral kelp]

On the GPU? There's no way you'll get that without spending, does the 5090 even have 32gb?

[ebon marlin]

Although if ur streaming get the 7800x3d over the 7600x3d

Or 9800x3d

Extra cores will help with the multitasking

[feral kelp]

Oh wait, normal ram.

[static gulch]

nono, js normal ram

[silent scarab]

I can spend more but i don't want to waste money either which is easy when bulidng a new pc.

[feral kelp]

What MBU are they using?

[silent scarab]

https://i.imgur.com/9nJseb8.png

[static gulch]

me? uhh does that mean motherboard

[feral kelp]

Yeah for streaming I'd suggest 8cores minimum, I was bottlenecking with 6 as well.

[feral kelp]

Yeah, because the ram is decided by the motherboard.

[static gulch]

well, it’s gonna be AM5 for sure, they requested ddr5

[feral kelp]

Yeah, ddr5 is their only choice. I don't know too much about ram but I think it just wants to have the best CL number possible to be good, ideally over CL30. I think 6000mhz should be fine to start with.

I don't think it's necessary but you can see the specs and decide for yourself if you need, I only know that B560 sometimes has less pcie so I spent extra to make sure I have long term upgradability.

But I think it should have enough features like HD audio and such, idk if it will have TB or USB +10GB. I can check.

[static gulch]

what. ai needs ram that fast?

dude they have a budget of 1250 dollars

[silent scarab]

Good case?

lan li 207?

[static gulch]

also uhh what do deepcool am5 brackets look like

[feral kelp]

Kinda, the faster the better, idk what to say, it's AI, it requires power, you get what you pay for. You can go with less, you'll just get less performance it'll be fine, the GPU is ultimately the most important factor for AI, as long as you have that you should be fine.

[static gulch]

okay

[static gulch]

but wb this

[feral kelp]

It should come in the box with the fan. It should be there on the instructions.

It kind of depends what kind of cooler you're getting, if it's air or liquid, I think the brackets can end up being different between those, but yeah the cooler box often comes with every kind of bracket possible, or at least the one you buy for.

[static gulch]

okay

Snapdragon 8 Elite phone for 320€

[gleaming rose]

hi catto

[ebon marlin]

Brand new

[ebon marlin]

Hi echo

[true stirrup]

That's crazy

[ebon marlin]

Nice battery upgrade from my 13R

Also got a broken Z Flip 5 for 100€ few days ago

New screen is 145€ and Z Flip 5's go for 400-500€

[thin plover]

hi

[thin plover]

wish it was the case for z fold 5 too

[ebon marlin]

Z fold 5's go for around the same price too

[true stirrup]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-what-monkey-gif-10997823

[thin plover]

ion wanna repair my screen myself

[ebon marlin]

I had the opportunity to get a basically brand new Z Fold 5 for 400€ which is a solid deal but folded

[thin plover]

I've seen jerryrigeverything try to get inside without breaking anything and he failed

[ebon marlin]

I like folds but batteries suck on em

[thin plover]

my battery is okay

[ebon marlin]

Jerryrig breaks everything no matter what

[leaden grotto]

its prob for views

[thin plover]

unless im bedrotting I can last an entire day

[leaden grotto]

he tries to break things for views

thats why i dont really use him as actual reviews, it's more of like entertainment & comedy relief

[thin plover]

he made a video trying to dissect it to put it back together

[ebon marlin]

Z Flip 5 is a very easy fix just need to pop out the backglass, unplug screen and then peel out the old screen

This just reminded me I got new repair tools which I haven't unboxed uet

[leaden grotto]

ahh

but welp i mean it's a fold after all

they are just so expensive to buy it tho

[gleaming rose]

games need to stop nerfing shotguns
shotguns ROCK IRL and just because they cook all your other shit doesn't mean you should make them party poppers

[ebon marlin]

2€ aliexpress S22 Ultra camera wonder if it's any good

Didn't feel like forking over 20€ for an original S22 Ultra front camera

[leaden grotto]

btw is it normal for laptop cpu to hit 90c when u boot up the laptop?

[thin plover]

basically everywhere I look screen repair is 600+ and in the Samsung store I got quoted 500

for now the dead pixels are bearable though

[gilded harness]

damn holy

[thorny saddle]

Probably only from tyan or maybe Puget systems or another reseller but that is a proprietary motherboard. It doesn't have ordinary case fitment.

[rancid salmon]

no?

[leaden grotto]

um am i cooked then

[rancid salmon]

what specs

[leaden grotto]

255h
32gb ram
igpu

[rancid salmon]

weird

[leaden grotto]

sometimes it's like 85c

[rancid salmon]

How long have you had it / Have you cleaned it / How many processes do you have launching on start up

[leaden grotto]

like a week

[rancid salmon]

Oh thats not normal at all

[leaden grotto]

not much processes, just the regular ones ig, like vantage, hwinfo

[rancid salmon]

Does it stay with high temps once booted?

[leaden grotto]

once the fans boot up

it drops quickly

[rancid salmon]

Oh thats strange

[leaden grotto]

but it will always boot up with like high temps

like hwinfo will always show max temp at 80 - 90

[rancid salmon]

So the fans take a while to kick in?

[leaden grotto]

like a second or two

[terse pewter]

maybe the cpu thinks its 14th gen til it gets it's sh.. together

[leaden grotto]

like this is my hwinfo when it just boots up

[rancid salmon]

those seem fine

actually wait

Ok well, seems suspicious but I don't have enough experience to make a verdict.

[leaden grotto]

ah

[rancid salmon]

I don't think you should be thermal throttling at boot and it could be a sign of something faulty or just a quirk of the laptop

[leaden grotto]

damn

lemme boot it up and see how it is rn

just booted it up

literally cant hear any fans running

[modern sage]

I changed my non-modular PSU to a modular one, I plugged in every cable, everthing besides the case fan works perfectly fine.
Why isn't my case fan working? It is plugged into a case FAN port on the motherboard

[faint flower]

@robust trail yo i returned the 5070 gonna get another one now or a 5060ti 16gig that doesnt use the 12v connector

[abstract wigeon]

why you returned 5070

[faint flower]

The 12v cable was annoying af

Didnt properly fit my case

When i bend it the gpu stopped working

Sadly all of the 5070s use the 12v adapter

And there is no low profile version or some

[random gyro]

hj

[glacial kraken]

My phone camera is broken 😭

[knotty bear]

https://ro.pcpartpicker.com/list/hTvNb2 hi so i have made some (many) modifications to my build, hope it is better now in some way

[calm grotto]

What y'all think of my wiring job

Building a 3.5kw ebike from scratch

[edgy flax]

I’m installing a new cpu and motherboard for my dad do I have to reinstall windows?

[ebon marlin]

Contraption

[plush wren]

pcb holder ahh

[ebon marlin]

it's not a pcb holder

[rustic finch]

Hey everyone

[ebon marlin]

it's meant for phone repairs to press down the screen or backglass for the adhesive to bond

[rustic finch]

What yall are talking abt?

[plush wren]

I didnt say it is

[robust trail]

Right on, hopefully you can get something figured out OR get a virtual amount bracket 🙂

[plush wren]

I compared it to one

[sour storm]

my ssd keep sgetting filled more and more and i cant find anything to delete

[bold olive]

guys i hit win tab instead of alt tab...

[modern sage]

I changed my PSU to a modular one, I plugged in every cable and everything besides the case fan works fine.
Why isn't my case fan working?

[sour storm]

hhhh

[fierce plaza]

oh boy

[sour storm]

imma be fr i might have to install a new os at somepoint

but thats gonna be a paiiin

[rigid fjord]

totally fine, if you want the fans to match, get the fc120 from deepcool instead of the p12 pwm pst argb. the fc120 is the fans used on the ak620 if you're going for the argb version, if you went for the non-argb version of the ak620 then it's using the fk120

[robust trail]

Wipe it and call it good. Or wipe unnecessary data. 🙂

[rigid fjord]

just ensure everythings ok using a multimeter

[grizzled frost]

i’ve seen better i’ve seen worse

[grizzled frost]

is it plugged into the motherboard?

[rigid fjord]

inb4 molex fans on the case

[fierce plaza]

assembled with the help of the ltt screwdriver

[knotty bear]

https://ro.pcpartpicker.com/list/D4QBBq i have replaced the ak620 and got a white 5070 so everything matches

[faint flower]

Anyone know what the smallest 5070 is?

[rigid fjord]

fair enough, then tl-14c from thermalright (same fans thermalright uses on the argb version of the pa140) if you want the fans to match

[knotty bear]

i will se the price but if they are much more expensive i will let them as is , also thanks for the help

[rigid fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/ummm-ermm-portal2-portal-wheatley-gif-4448782767460396617

[faint flower]

Yo mark quick question, would the zotac twin fan 5070 prossibly leave more space toward the side panel?

[fierce plaza]

its an old lacie 2big quadra hdd and it looks so good i didn't want to throw it out perfect little case for a server, 20x18x9 cm

i installed the blue led too, but i think i'll replace this with some addressable LED ring for more features

[rigid fjord]

i half it expecting it to suddly play this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZIVmKOdrBk

[fierce plaza]

sadly i could't fit the speakers inside because the connector was really small and it would be hard to extend it, and its a HA server anyway so it would be pointless

[bronze summit]

@rigid fjord Am I cooked?

[left dove]

wtf did you do

[bronze summit]

The antenna felt loose

[rigid fjord]

laptop speakers, specifically dell or hp ones, and on top of that, you can connect a small amp like in the pic , can have it powered internally off a usb header

[bronze summit]

So I twisted it back

[rigid fjord]

not cooked, you can easily get replacement for the connector

[left dove]

omg i just saw the sheared cable what the fuck

[random gyro]

anyone help me find a headset, debating on whether or not to get the blackshark V3 pro or the logitech pro x 2?

Pls any arch or cachyOS head, i need your help...
Ive installed cachy 3 times now and everytime i try to setup secureboot and the keys i get an infinitely spinning circle at reboot after entering setup mode im in deep dispair puweeeeese xD

[shrewd oracle]

MSI MPG 274URDFW E16M delayed and im not sure when im gonna get mine now :/

[ivory holly]

hey can someone help me out

[shrewd oracle]

Hopefully within this month or next

[random gyro]

I should probably wait for the release of the logitech pro x 3

Or should I go to the Linux nieche?

[ivory holly]

i downloaded this fake ublock extension earlier
should i worry about it being malware

AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D - 32 GB RAM - 2TB NVME SSD - RX 6800 XT 16GB is this pc good for 900bucks

[ivory holly]

yeah ik

[left dove]

there's the legit one. Do a malware scan.

[ivory holly]

i did
on virus total

[left dove]

virustotal isn't a local malware scanner

[ivory holly]

bro lmao i reset my pc

[abstract wigeon]

this was a triumph

[ivory holly]

soo should i change my passwords

[bronze summit]

The wifi connector thing?

[left dove]

then what do you need help with..

[earnest nymph]

Is it good ?

[left dove]

no its dogshit

[earnest nymph]

Really?

[ivory holly]

no hes obv being sarcastic

which crackhead is selling you that for so cheap

[earnest nymph]

I dont know

[rigid fjord]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8M53ZWL/ rp sma female to ufl

[rigid fjord]

she**

[left dove]

dammit rauko

[ivory holly]

sorry mb

[earnest nymph]

Wtf is a female cable

[earnest nymph]

Can i flip for profit

[rigid fjord]

nope

[left dove]

What?

oh the pc

[earnest nymph]

Or should i tell my friend to buy it (he has gt240m and wants to upgrade)

[ivory holly]

@left dove sooo tell me

[left dove]

oh god

please dont be weird

[earnest nymph]

Why should we be weird

[ivory holly]

should i like change my passwords or smth @left dove

[left dove]

I mean yeah, I cycle all my passwords every year, critical ones every 3mo

[ivory holly]

bruh why cant you just have like a hundred char password
thats what i do

[left dove]

32 is already plenty

[ivory mountain]

if ur shit gets leaked or u get info stealing malware it doesn’t matter

[trim gyro]

yup, that's why I only use four numbers for all my passwords

[ivory holly]

yeah ik...
thats why I asked if i should change or not

[trim gyro]

it doesn't matter if it gets leaked

[ivory mountain]

Yeah but if you get info stealing malware u need to reset windows via usb and change ur shit via ur phone

[ivory holly]

yes but its only an extention

yk extentions are sandboxed right

[left dove]

next he's gonna lose his mind over male cables & gender adapters

[kindred halo]

Errrr TPU has all the info you need on GPU dimensions

[exotic cape]

The end of the cable with a hole in it.

[left dove]

No, many "female" connectors have protrusions that go into a male connector's.. receiving hole

There's really no way for me to write this and not giggle at it like an idiot.

[kindred halo]

You're being kidnapped if you meet up to buy it

Or it's a parent who got pissed off at their child

[ivory mountain]

😭

[left dove]

Language is hard today I'm brain-foggy af

[kindred halo]

I would've skipped giggling and went to cackling, you're fine

[rigid fjord]

yes but no, it's the socket and never the plug

[ivory mountain]

No it’s bad send the link so I can report it

[left dove]

gobbless rauko and his logical languaging

[ivory holly]

sooo tell me
am i good or not
i checked virus total

[left dove]

Virustotal isn't a local malware scanner ffs

[kindred halo]

"Oh my god that's so awful! Where?"

[ivory holly]

...
ik

[kindred halo]

Errrr Windows Defender scan is a good starting point, idk more than that

[left dove]

so use mbam and/or windef

what did you even check against virustotal, the chrome extension link??

[ivory holly]

yeah

[left dove]

ahahahahaha

holy shit

[silk merlin]

not to brag, but I just got my first 2k monitor. Goodbye, 1080p. 😂

[rigid fjord]

i could say something about gender adapters, but it could be taken offensively by some

[left dove]

You've got the pass from me, full send

[kindred halo]

Have fun playing sub 100 fps,,,,,

[ivory holly]

why ?
is something funny?

[ivory mountain]

Hell yes you won’t regret it

[fierce plaza]

To get a cheap but really good monitor: buy an old broken gpu 5k imac and order a gpu controller from aliexpress. Really good screen for cheap.

[silk merlin]

Cyberpunk is running at 117 fps. I'll take it.

[kindred halo]

Errr idk what it's worth but I also give the greenlight,,,,,,

[exotic cape]

Usually male is the thing you plug in.
Female is the end that gets plugged into.

[kindred halo]

Okay if your system can run Cyberpunk then you're fine

[rigid fjord]

gender adapters, trans before being known

[abstract wigeon]

i went from a 1080p TN to a 1440p qd oled ultrawide

[silk merlin]

I got a 32". It's gorgeous and I am never going back.

[kindred halo]

[left dove]

dude all virustotal did was scan the webpage itself for malware, and since it's google there is none

You didn't scan anything pertinent to anything dangerous you essentially pointed at something and said "im suspiscious of you"

[rigid fjord]

male = plug
female = socket

[left dove]

[kindred halo]

That genuinely was funny a single KEKW isn't enough </3

[ivory holly]

so how do i check if that extention has malware or not without running it

[left dove]

stop worrying about that and run a windows defender scan

like I've said like 5 times now

If there is an infection the focus should be on correcting it, not confirming the thing was malware

[kindred halo]

As shite as Windows is, Windows Defender is pretty decent for the average person

[silk merlin]

Cpu: Ryzen 5800x; GPU: RX 6700 XT

Goes to show that we don't always need to have the latest gear.

[fierce plaza]

just install mcafee antivirus thats the best one

[ivory holly]

bruh did you forget i reset my pc

[left dove]

aw man I remember getting my first 1440p..

[fierce plaza]

its so good you won't be able to uninstall it

[ivory holly]

...

[left dove]

so you fully reset it after uninstalling the extension?

[ivory holly]

yeah

[left dove]

also resetting can't clear all infections

[rigid fjord]

tbf, virus total is decent for a dns check, not so great for virus checking on websites

[silk merlin]

or ditch windows, install Linux

[left dove]

still change your passwords

[ivory holly]

yeah windows sucks

[left dove]

Windows doesn't suck, it's the user 99% of the time

[silk merlin]

I ditched it 16 years ago.

[ivory holly]

ahem.

[left dove]

I'm not wrong no matter how offended you are.

(I also don't care)

[ivory holly]

im not offended lmao

[silk merlin]

Windows doesn't technically suck. It's the politics of it that I despise.

[kindred halo]

12GB of VRAM on a pretty good chip, and a CPU that's still very capable; Good rig

[ivory holly]

the app uninstallation exp is so bad bro its sm better on linux

[silk merlin]

it's been a great bang for the buck

[silk merlin]

This^

[rigid fjord]

true that 1% though, has this in it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlY2QjP_-9s

[kindred halo]

I don't remember the prices for them brand new (doubt I was more than a wee child when they were out), but the 6700 XT IS pretty good bang for buck in the used market now

[ivory mountain]

Damn unc 😭

[silk merlin]

I think I paid $375 for mine. If that isn't exact, it's close.

[ivory holly]

yeah when you install apps everything is so fragmented in a million diff places

[vapid onyx]

since the update i installed 6 games and i havent got a problem i installed them on sata

[ebon marlin]

i'm getting like 13 intel core ultra 5 245k's for free I thought they would maybe be a nice upgrade over my 5800x3d but the 5800x3d still beats the Ultra 245k lmao

guess they're all going to be sold then

[rigid fjord]

still doesn't mean it hasn't affect a ton of people

[steel umbra]

free???

[kindred halo]

That is good bang for buck

[ebon marlin]

price error my beloved

[bronze summit]

I'm gonna have to search up how to replace the female coax

[left dove]

god i fucking love this plane\

[steel umbra]

lol wher 🤣

[ebon marlin]

I'm also getting 5 Asus Zenbooks for free but they're snapdragon laptops

[ebon marlin]

Temu

[steel umbra]

did they ship them

[ebon marlin]

They already shipped the shit and the weight of the package is accurate to what I'm ordering

[silk merlin]

ugly and beautiful at the same time. One of the best planes ever.

[steel umbra]

rip the seller

how did the price error happen

[ebon marlin]

it's some polish store

no idea

there's still a bunch of price errors out there

[steel umbra]

it was just priced that?

[ebon marlin]

eh 12€ each for the intel core ultra cpus

[abstract wigeon]

how does one get 13 245k’s for free

[ebon marlin]

7€ each for the asus zenbooks

price errors

[steel umbra]

[steel umbra]

i don even have mone, i’m out so… me just curious

i’ve put mone into gold and stocks

[bronze summit]

Coax thing

[rigid fjord]

it's really easy to do, no need for any video tbh

[bronze summit]

I am pretty stupid though

[ivory holly]

i used the crx downloader/extractor ext
to download the fake extention
it was clean on virustotal

soo i am good right?

[rigid fjord]

you just need to undo the nut holding the rp sma connector to the I/O shield,
undo the screws holding the heatsink for the vrm's
then finally unplug the plex-ufl from the wifi pcb,
after that pop the plex-ufl connector onto the pcb from a new cable, and place the rp sma female back into the I/O shield and tighten the nut back onto it

then just screw in the heatsink back onto mobo

[bronze summit]

I'll try to do it

[steel umbra]

discord still hasn’t fixed this

[bronze summit]

But idk if I will be successful

All I could say is

[ivory holly]

??

[bronze summit]

Fuck you ASRock for your very specific CID

"Yea you broke your motherboard in the war? Unlucky, warranty void"

[rigid fjord]

if you do it exactly as i said, you will, there's nothing special about it

[stark kiln]

I'm playing at 810x972 y'all

[steel umbra]

72p is better

[stark kiln]

My PC can't do it saflyb

[bronze summit]

I play on 720x576

[steel umbra]

guys should i invest mone into stockz or gold once i get mone

or silver

[bronze summit]

Never did trading or stocks so

[zenith meadow]

is the latest AMD Adrenaline driver (25.8.1) acting up for anyone else or just me? RX 6750 XT, W10, I'm getting driver timeouts during normal desktop use (no gaming, nothing GPU heavy)

[true stirrup]

All in straight into shit coins 💯

[silk merlin]

Even though I am absolutely loving this 32" monitor, I admit (after poo-pooing them) that I understand why curved monitors are a thing.
This one is flat and it's on the border of usable within 2 feet.

[final nymph]

it's fine for me so far, 6700XT Win11

[final nymph]

it was weird for like a week when I went from 24 to 27 inches, then it becomes natural, you'll get used to it

[silk merlin]

yeah, 27" is a nice sweet spot for viewing at a desk, but I still kept wanting a second monitor.
The 32" is my attempt at simplifying my workspace.
So far, so good.

Plus gaming on 32" is just divine.

[final nymph]

yeah it all depends on how deep is your desk

[silk merlin]

I have a generous 30 inches of depth on the desktop, so this works well

And I am about 23" from the front of the display where I sit

[hidden hill]

Anyone know what setting I need to change so that having my microphone plugged in doesn’t prevent windows boot?

Whenever it’s plugged in it doesn’t boot, it’s kind of annoying but idk how to fix it

[silk merlin]

wait...what?

[hidden hill]

USB c microphone, when plugged in prevents my pc from booting

[silk merlin]

that is odd. What mic is it?

[hidden hill]

It’s interfering with the boot process somehow

Shure mv6

[final nymph]

32 is fine then, I'm like 18 inches from my 27"

[upbeat cove]

is it somehow set as a boot option #1

[hidden hill]

Doesn’t look like it

[silk merlin]

maybe change the boot order so you skip over usb

or put usb at the end.

[hidden hill]

How do I do that?

[final nymph]

what's your motherboard?

[hidden hill]

Asus prime something

[silk merlin]

It should be under the boot config where you can set boot order

[hidden hill]

I see boot option prio

Where it has “boot option 1” in the dropdown menu

But there’s no other option besides it

[final nymph]

https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1053205/

you should probably have the mic plugged in when doing this, so you can see if the UEFI is detecting it as a mass storage device

[hidden hill]

Can’t enter bios when it’s plugged in, but if I plug it in after entering the bios it doesn’t show up as a boot option

Very weird

[silk merlin]

that makes no sense at all!!

[hidden hill]

Ikr

It’s interfering with my input devices so I can’t enter bios

[true stirrup]

What exactly happens when you try to turn on the PC with the mic plugged in?

[hidden hill]

Shows post screen with options

[faint flower]

Is the inno3d rtx 5070 decent?

[hidden hill]

But no input device works to put me into bios

[true stirrup]

It's the same as any other 5070

[faint flower]

Thanks its the one with the smallest height tho

[final nymph]

have you tried plugging that mic into other systems?

[silk merlin]

this was what I was going to suggest.
