Add in the yeston 3070

[kind laurel]

i mean everything other than the gpu

[idle spear]

when i upgrade to am5 im 100% spending extra money for that motherboard

[rigid fjord]

it splits usb 3.0/3.1/3.2 header out to 2x 3.0/3.1/3.2 19 pin headers/ 1x 19 pin + type E, and due to that it may need extra external power especially for the type E

[boreal vine]

4060 would've been better

[idle spear]

the anime cards that are on aliexpress?

[cursive pendant]

I am so confused on how all of this would connect together lmfao

[latent gull]

No I mean the cat one, I can’t remeber what it was

[boreal vine]

or the 4060ti @latent gull

[rigid fjord]

usa?

[faint lark]

so i need a pc but cheap (that can run and handle fiveM at atleast 80 fps without mods but i have a budget of 150 should i buy a cheap pc clean it cable manage and maybe a new case and sell for profit or should i just buy a pc and keep it

[latent gull]

I thought this was a 3070, my bad

[idle spear]

im going to try to find a heatsink for one and try to put it on my rx 6600xt so i dont have to rebuy everything

[upbeat cove]

which model though?

[kind laurel]

Europe
specifically Bosnia

[latent gull]

The cat one I just posted

[kind laurel]

i have a site i can give which i can get stuff from , i think its fairly decent pricing on stuff

[boreal vine]

they made these in diff versions, there was a 580 of this

[idle spear]

ohh thats peak

That’s probably the one I was thinking of cause it’s older

[idle spear]

i mean this could be col to

[boreal vine]

haha NP

I gave up looking for cute cards on my PC

[rigid fjord]

quite easilly, you connect the front panel ones to the splitter, then from the splitter to the usb 3.0/3.1/3.2 header, and connect it to sata power

[latent gull]

Would I like one? Yes. Do I want to pay extra for something that sits in a box that I’ll never see? No

[boreal vine]

[rigid fjord]

@cursive pendant

[latent gull]

I’ve got music playing and that lined up way too well

[upbeat cove]

the air is 850 at microcenter and apple refurb fwiw. same specs but 400 less, just lacking the better display and chassis

[idle spear]

I need new better looking parts as soon as possible

[boreal vine]

this mousepad is expensive but worth it in my opinion

[idle spear]

I love my sleeper build but the cables omg the cables

[boreal vine]

what's the specs?

[rigid fjord]

in that case, you could go 7600x + b650 + 32gb 6000 cl30 ddr5

[latent gull]

[upbeat cove]

doesn't matter for school but it's nice

[ebon marlin]

are you gaming with the mac

[cursive pendant]

Yeah ive seen all the pictures but im still js lost, if you say it works I believe you. I think when it arrives I'll be able to piece it together.
What slot on my mobo would this plug into? I just need to plug in the USB C panel cable, and one USB3 cable

[boreal vine]

it's my new macbook that I definitely didn't need but bought anyways

[idle spear]

im used to typing my old moherboards name mb lol

[latent gull]

You don’t have to add that last part, that’s just every person that buys a MacBook

[boreal vine]

I'm going to need it soon though, would be travelling alot for my next work

[rigid fjord]

the usb 3.0/3.1/3.2 19 pin header yeah from it

[boreal vine]

I need a reliable laptop, and no windows laptop would be that

[latent gull]

And no provided company laptop?

[boreal vine]

contractor

[cursive pendant]

So it would have to be a 19 pin to plug into right

[latent gull]

Honestly my windows laptop has been extremely reliable (I have disabled updates, sleep, hibernation, and every option thing and it stays off when it’s not in use)

[boreal vine]

new work requires me to be going several places in the UK

[boreal vine]

Yeah I still don't trust that not to fart itself to death

[latent gull]

That’s fair

But I see having to use Mac as more of a downside

[idle spear]

im going to make my own ai with a old xeon and rx 470

[boreal vine]

most of my stuff are in g cloud, so it's all good + battery lasts all fucking day

[rigid fjord]

like it shows in the images, yes

[boreal vine]

I used to daily mac exclusively back in 2017

[latent gull]

F

[upbeat cove]

once you learn the os it's hard to go back

[boreal vine]

2015 - 2020? I think?

[upbeat cove]

it's only bad when you're still figuring things out

[rigid fjord]

usb 2.0 ones be like

[latent gull]

I’ve learned the OS, and I’ll say it is way easier, and also using touchpad over mouse makes it way easier, BUT I still hate it

[upbeat cove]

what didn't you like?

huge agree on the trackpad thing. that's what really converted me

[boreal vine]

honestly don't mind it, except windows, I can't stand using windows, the only reason that I do it is because of games, even then I've got shit like power toys to make it close to mac as much as possible

[rigid fjord]

@cursive pendant just never get a usb3 header splitter like this

[latent gull]

2 things, 1) windows management. I’m someone who uses probably 10-15 windows open at any given time and I want to be able to easily switch between them, and I don’t mean tabs but whole windows. Mac doesn’t make that easy. 2) application management just blows on Mac, trying to install anything or make changes whatsoever and it just doesn’t want you to

Also, printer management. Fuck WHOEVER designed the printer interface on macOS. God damn it’s shit.

[faint lark]

guys so im a lil stuck on what to do so i need a new pc
but i only have £140 to get 1 that handles fiveM should i buy a pc and keep it or
would you recommend flipping pcs i dont know much about building pcs i only know about pcs

[true stirrup]

You should save up
£140 doesn't get you where you want to

[boreal vine]

1 you can 4 finger swipe to swap windows,

2 it's abit more technical I agree, you'd need the terminal for it most likely, it tries hard to keep things wrapped, but if you can navigate your way through terminal, it's quite powerful.

3 never had issues with printer management on mac tbh, if anything it's easier than on my win 10 machine I have an HP and a munbyn label printer

[glass crest]

[latent gull]

Printers with custom drivers or enterprise level printers are a nightmare on Mac, and I understand most day to day users won’t have issues, but like, brother printers don’t have a dedicated driver and just use AirPrint which doesn’t do what you need. Konica Minolta give you the options you need in the driver, but the Mac printer options are hidden and aren’t the same as the actual printing options, and the printer options overwrite the printing options, which I think is ridiculous

[boreal vine]

ah got cha

[latent gull]

Idk Mac printing was just always the biggest headache at the MSP

[upbeat cove]

window management has improved a bit in the last 2 releases but the lingering shit like needing to click to focus a different window is so redundant. switching between different desktops being throttled by an animation is also ridiculous

are you using a package manager by any chance?

[latent gull]

Nope. And I don’t use different desktops on windows, never really found a purpose for it. I like the windows management on windows and I guess I’m just used to it, but switching to the swipe thing just wasn’t it for me.

I also tried a windows surface tablet that had similar swipe gestures and I didn’t like those either, I just preferred a mouse

[upbeat cove]

have you tried mapping mission control and app expose to mouse buttons? it seems like the best of both worlds but i haven't tried it myself

[full escarp]

anyone willing to help touch up a pc build?

[latent gull]

I just didn’t like mouse controls at all on Mac, it feels like an OS that’s meant for touchpad, and I’m okay with that, imma just not use it

[upbeat cove]

that's fair enough

[latent gull]

Only thing I enjoyed on Mac was spotlight, cause that worked right every time

[boreal vine]

yeah really doesn't help that driver support is abit spotty on them

[boreal vine]

on god, it just worked, indexing is faster on mac, they got that down to a tee

[upbeat cove]

i usually just use it as an instant calculator lol

[latent gull]

And enterprise printers are sometimes like 15-20 years old with old drivers that are still supported on windows, but the last Mac version was like 10 versions of Mac ago and it’s a completely different Os that no longer supports backwards compatibility

[rigid fjord]

as you don't know much about building pc's, i would avoid trying to flip them, you'd be better off saving up more, or get a part time job like a paper round/wash cars/wash windows/cut lawns

[fallow schooner]

Guys any tips on deciding between the Oneplus Nord 5 or Pixel 9a? (Theyre about the same price in my region) or any other choice around 500 bucks...

[boreal vine]

yeah that is abit shit there are some things I miss on mac like 32bit support, that's completely gone now

[latent gull]

And any current Mac using ARM doesn’t support anything built for an Intel Mac

Unless that’s what you meant

[boreal vine]

keyboard that I built today

[upbeat cove]

you can run intel apps over rosetta

[boreal vine]

it does, but through a proxy layer / rosetta 2

[latent gull]

Yes, but the drivers weren’t happy with that

[upbeat cove]

and i believe some 32 bit programs can run but only the windows versions via wine

[latent gull]

Apps sure, drivers are a bit iffy

[upbeat cove]

true

[boreal vine]

does sidecar still work on mac?

[latent gull]

Rosetta was cool though, I had a few things that had to use it and it just immediatly worked after installing Rosetta

[boreal vine]

I loved that but my 2017 MBP couldn't keep up with it

[upbeat cove]

sidecar as in like the ipad as a display thing?

[boreal vine]

no no, it might not be the exact one, but it's the app where you can have windows on another screen via bootcamp

essentially allowing you to do work with two OS at the same time

just has windows open on another window

[latent gull]

Could you move files and stuff between them?

[boreal vine]

yeah, it was great

[upbeat cove]

oh that i don't know

[boreal vine]

Forgot the name now, it was a paid app

[latent gull]

Oh shit yeah if it was that easy it’d be great

[boreal vine]

shit it's going to bother me now

[upbeat cove]

there's parallels but i don't know if you can move files between the windows window and macos

[latent gull]

Kek

[boreal vine]

mind you this was like years ago

[boreal vine]

IT"S THAT

you can move files from mac to windows and vice versa

[latent gull]

Wait parallels client?

[boreal vine]

shits' like nasa

[grizzled nova]

Forward vs reverse wiring
I accidentally bought forward and needed reverse 😔

[latent gull]

I wonder if that’s the same parallels that’s used now as like a common RDP client

[upbeat cove]

how did i miss this

[rigid fjord]

there isn't a reverse wiring of this, it's sas out to sata

[latent gull]

I’m assuming it’s a shitpost

[grizzled nova]

The second one is reverse wired?
Unless I’m missing something

[boreal vine]

it was great

I loved that thing

[rigid fjord]

nope, it's the same cable, sas to sata, you can't do it the other way

[upbeat cove]

it seems like it is but i could be wrong

[latent gull]

Yeah parallels is cool, I didn’t realize it was anything other than an RDP client. I wonder if it just used RDP to remote into the windows session on boot camp

[rigid fjord]

i wish, it's someone who thought they can make sas work on sata

[latent gull]

Aight maybe your a good person to ask then

[upbeat cove]

no alps 💔

[latent gull]

Right now I’m using a Logitech g613, and I like it, but it’s got some issues like double pressing. Any good recommendations for similar but that might not have those issues?

[boreal vine]

not built

I do have a PCB that's compatible with it tho, i just can't be arsed with alps, too much of a pain to find caps for

[rigid fjord]

yeah, no, no matter which way you look at it, you'll never get sata to sas so you can run sas off a sata connection, but you can get sas out to sata, just get a hba card and do sas to sata or sas to sas

[iron glen]

Stew 😋

[latent gull]

Thicc soup

[boreal vine]

Tbf, if it's double pressing, it's probably a dirty / faulty switch, you can replace them, sadly there isn't a lot of full size mechs that are solid, but there's some budget ones like https://www.lemokey.com/products/lemokey-x3-qmk-via-wired-mechanical-keyboard?variant=48684943474987

[upbeat cove]

all 2 of my alps builds are rocking aek caps because that's all that really exists

what switches do you have waiting?

[wheat torrent]

is the 5070 ti worth a 400 usd difference from 5070 ?? what the hell?

[latent gull]

It’s multiple keys double pressing, and it’s done it since new. Apparently it’s a common issue with those Logitechs. Not a huge issue but kinda annoying

[boreal vine]

I was gonna harvest some from old apple keyboards that used them and stick them onto a compatible PCB

[grizzled nova]

Yea sas data cannot be ran in a sata port
Unless it’s wired as completely pass through on let’s say the Supermicro SAS823T 2U SAS-Sata Backplane
Then you can take the sas connection from the hdds, pass them through the backplane, and have a reverse sas to sata breakout cable

[boreal vine]

you can try cleaning them

they're abit of a wird switch so just be careful

[upbeat cove]

i wouldn't even risk taking a keycap off of those

[iron glen]

You got tips on cleaning red switches?

Or mechanical switches ig

[boreal vine]

@latent gull aula f108 is also good too, if you want something that won't break the bank but it's full size

[boreal vine]

without desoldering? contact cleaner, if desoldered, open up ultrasonic cleaner

sometimes you don't need to clean it, but just open it up, move the spring back and forth a couple times with tweezers and that fixes it

[iron glen]

Will try

[rigid fjord]

you can just get long sata cables instead for that specific backplane, or you use a sas hba and then use an 8087 sas to sata adpater with it, you will not be able to od it the way you're thinking of doing

[boreal vine]

just move that leaf back and forth while in place

[iron glen]

Idk i spilled smth thays basically syrup on it, pretty sure i need to clean it and thoroughly

[boreal vine]

and over extend it going to the mast a little bit

[boreal vine]

yeah that needs a clean

[latent gull]

I’ll look into it, I’m happy with the tactile switches so I’ll probably see what they have. I have enjoyed the 110% layout but I can live without the 10%

[boreal vine]

and ngl, unless the switches are expensive, I'd just go ahead and buy new ones, it's not worth the effort saving like 12$ in switches

[boreal vine]

in my opinion, save up atleast like 200 if you want a full custom premium experience

but you can get away with spending like 100, no judge

[cunning juniper]

it's a solid mouse, but just not competitive in recent years

you can do better for the same price

I dont play games

I am pro nvidia

why do you have a gpu

[wheat torrent]

but the specs seem on par if not better than 5070 ti

[wheat torrent]

work

[azure topaz]

that’s valid

[azure topaz]

should be close

[wheat torrent]

384 bit bus on 7900xtx

[azure topaz]

cause it’s like roughly a 9070xt

which is almost a 5070ti

but i think the xtx is technically faster

but if working on gpu you want nvidia

[wheat torrent]

I am not totally sure how memory bandwidth play a role there is that

[wheat torrent]

true

Is that the new one? Cause it looked nice but it was twice the price

Nvm, it’s the X that’s twice the price of the hero. Hero is the one I have

[rigid fjord]

the g502x is the newer on

[latent gull]

Yeah, hero is the classic, and I just looked and it’s 30$ right now

IMO great price

[rigid fjord]

g502 hero = wired, g502 lightspeed = g502 hero but wireless, and then there's the OG g502

[latent gull]

Hero is what I have. And a light speed for my laptop

[rigid fjord]

hero is what i have now, though i've added more weight to it

[upbeat cove]

is the hero an updated version of the proteus?

[rigid fjord]

pretty much, as the proteus is basically the OG one

[manic fjord]

what is the most current stable 4080 super driver? anytime i download the newest one it comes with issues

[latent gull]

This is what both of mine have

[rigid fjord]

you know the extra weights the hero has?, double it, that's what mine has currently, i have another set i've been meaning to add

[latent gull]

Yeah I have 2 of those extra weights in, I don’t add an extreme amount

Those are 2g each so a balanced 4 grams extra was comfy for me

I worked at a factory a few years back and it fucked my wrists up, when I left I had to take steroids for inflammation and now I have to use an ergo mouse or it hurts after a while

[ebon marlin]

it doesn't

[latent gull]

Some people are better with heavy mice

Objectively is a very strong word

Like me

Super light mice are terrible for me cause I pick them up off the desk too much

[ebon marlin]

way less precision on heavier mice

[latent gull]

Same sensor, same precision

[rigid fjord]

so wrong on that tbh

[latent gull]

Maybe you have less precision with heavy mice

[ebon marlin]

micro-adjustments are also more difficult since you need to use more force

[ebon marlin]

no, this is well known information with studies done on this

very basic physics

lighter object requires less energy and force making it easier

[latent gull]

I’m not arguing with the physics. I’m arguing with the point that the physics make that much of a difference

[empty quartz]

Literally a weakness issue

[ebon marlin]

this is unfortunately not a weakness issue if you wanted to fuel ur ego

[empty quartz]

If you cant move a heavy mouse fast, you lack any kind of muscle

[rigid fjord]

moving them fast is never an issue, that can happen on both light and heavy mice

[ebon marlin]

pal might've been offended at this statement

[empty quartz]

Nah, im just done with your shit @ebon marlin

[rigid fjord]

but micro adjustments i literally have no issues with doing on my g502 hero

[ebon marlin]

lmao pal couldn't fuel his ego

[empty quartz]

All you do is say its to fuel my ego

[ebon marlin]

there are literal studies done on light vs heavy mice in gaming

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/orange-cat-laughing-gif-13031147940704744720

[clear oasis]

ive been an fps gamer for a decade

the moment i switched to a lighter mouse i got to masters in overwatch and peaked at top 99k in osu

heavier mice stink, fuck the g502

[empty quartz]

The g502 has just never been that good

[clear oasis]

the whole gimmick was weight management but what game needs precision. almost all new games are built with reaction time as the mechanic not how accurate you arer

[azure topaz]

heavier mouse do indeed suck

my deathadder essential sucked

my orochi v2 was better but still heavy

[clear oasis]

superlight was the best addition to my desk

[azure topaz]

g305 was okay

superlight is still one of my faves and my scyrox is peak

[clear oasis]

i want to get glass slides but they are 20 bucks lol

[empty quartz]

I cannot go back to a super light mouse

[robust trail]

A wild mono has appeared

[empty quartz]

Mostly because literally everything in that category is too small

[ebon marlin]

I'm currently on a G Pro Wireless (80g) since my Darmoshark M3 4k (65g) broke and now I'm eyeing the Lamzu Maya X which is 47g

[robust trail]

Momo*

[azure topaz]

i think mines 42 without skates and i have dot skates so its like 44 with skates

[empty quartz]

@azure topaz as a long time user of a g900, i think its time to upgrade

[rigid fjord]

the difference between light mice use and heavy mice use primarly is if you just use your wrist or your whole arm in using the mouse

[azure topaz]

my superlight is heavily modified and also is very light but i dont have a scale rn

[ebon marlin]

I immediately started aiming better and hitting my flicks better when I went from my 80g mouse to a 65g mouse

literally first game after setting up all my sens and dpi I was immediately hitting shots I wasn't hitting before

So I wasn't even used to the mouse yet

[empty quartz]

@azure topaz are there even any superlight class mice as large as my g900?

[cursive pendant]

Does PCPP calculate the amount of USB ports on a case and take the motherboard's usb slots into consideration?

[empty quartz]

Why does that matter?

[ebon marlin]

One mouse that comes to mind is Glorious Model L

[cursive pendant]

js wondering lol, you dont want a motherboard to run out of usb slots and you cant plug in all your case's usbs

[ebon marlin]

Model L which is wired is 69g and Model L 2 which is wireles is 75g

210 hour battery life yum

oh nvm that's with bluetooth

2.4ghz is 110hrs

[empty quartz]

That model L is shite

[empty quartz]

Too small then

[azure topaz]

its literally 3% smaller

you can see the measurements

theres no way 3% IN HEIGHT is different enough to matter

[empty quartz]

The length is the issue

[azure topaz]

1.5%

[empty quartz]

The g900 is just barely large enough

[cursive pendant]

Can I get this instead?

$6.99 and I can plug my other two USB3 ports into the one USB3_5_6 slot, and then plug this into the regular USB_5_6 slot, I know it'll run at USB 2 speeds but at least Ill be able to use all my top panel ports.

[empty quartz]

@azure topaz 10.5” ipad pro for reference

BTW you definitely do not need a electric screwdriver

[full escarp]

Do I need one? No, is it more convenient? Yea

Bruh fuck ios

I cant even update to 18.6.2

[lapis furnace]

That one 40-yro fan at the granny's house be like 🥶🥶

Sarcasm apart.... I need help 🆘🆘😔

[daring crystal]

This the new folding phone?

[daring crystal]

I had mono once. Do not say that dreaded disease it's not fun 😡😡😡

[daring crystal]

Why

[ebon marlin]

sounds like the fan needs a replacement

[daring crystal]

💲💲💲

[lapis furnace]

Most probably. How much should i expect to spend? It's a HP Pavilion 15-dk0047tx (2020 model)

[ebon marlin]

like 5-10 bucks

[lapis furnace]

Ehhh for an entire fan?

[daring crystal]

Maybe 6 or 7

[lapis furnace]

Oh ok

I thought way more

Around 20-30

[ebon marlin]

check which fan is broken first since some laptops have different fans for the cpu and gpu

[lapis furnace]

How to check that

[rigid fjord]

i would go for the one i linked to you instead

[ebon marlin]

by opening up the laptop

troubleshoot to find out which fan is broken

hold one fan put with ur finger and let the other spin

[pine geyser]

Why does my apps clip into itself like i open discord and when i scholl i see the same message clipped into the new ones is it a ram thing or?

[daring crystal]

Tf?

[ivory mountain]

18.6.2 auto installed after it popped up when I was tryna select something on Amazon 😭 no confirmation or nothing

[upbeat cove]

maybe because you're not on wifi?

[pine geyser]

Why does my apps clip into itself like i open discord and when i scholl i see the same message clipped into the new ones is it a ram thing or? (PC ISSUE)

[ivory mountain]

Send it 5 more times and someone will answer trust

[daring crystal]

It auto updated for me too

[gilded harness]

That also happens when im on wifi

My phone is already bugging hard 🙏 🙏 🙏 let me install the update please

[upbeat cove]

perhaps it's regional then. i'm not sure what else it could be

[lapis furnace]

Imma take it to a repair shop instead (ion have the tools to open up my laptop)

[gilded harness]

maybe

[cursive pendant]

Any issues with the other one?

[ivory mountain]

U don’t have a screwdriver?

[ebon marlin]

you're saying you don't have a screwdriver?

[lapis furnace]

Not the right size at least

[pine geyser]

I might

[ebon marlin]

a basic philips head screwdriver that everyone has in their house no matter what

[ebon marlin]

how do u know if you haven't tried

[lapis furnace]

It's for industrial sized big screws like the ones on those TV cabinets

[ebon marlin]

a flathead screwdriver also works for philips screws

[ivory mountain]

Idk the answer so I can’t help sorry brotato

[ebon marlin]

screwdrivers are dirt cheap

[rigid fjord]

you'll be running at usb 2 speed and no faster, also no increase in power if you tried to charge anything via usb C

[lapis furnace]

Alright imna try it tomorrow

[random junco]

i got a full set for £1 came today (from alix tho lol)

[ebon marlin]

screwdriver is a screwdriver

[dusky pawn]

what od yall think abt the redragon 850 gold psu

[ivory mountain]

red dragon is prob the last people id trust with making a PSU ngl

[dusky pawn]

yea lol ik but from what ive seen or the specs it has it doesnt seem that bad

[merry dagger]

It's so funny that low-tier Seasonic PSUs aren't made by Seasonic, lol

[dusky pawn]

who makes em

[merry dagger]

RSY or Helly, don't even know who it is

[dusky pawn]

wthelly

[merry dagger]

Mid-tier and top-tier seasonic are made by themselves

[dusky pawn]

ive heard really bad things about cheap seasonic

but also really good abt their top tier

[merry dagger]

It's F-tier psu just like Aerocool VX, Seasonic A12 is a big no no

[dusky pawn]

same as the redragon one its f tier but i didnt see any reasoning for it

like i cant find much information on why its claimed to be bad

[ivory mountain]

Wait lemme try to sound out ur name

[ivory mountain]

Ki yo U ma

[dusky pawn]

damn never heard of them

[merry dagger]

[ivory mountain]

I almost got it

[sand epoch]

is this good for 1,947$?

or too much for a 5080

[dusky pawn]

too much of whatever currency that is

[dawn tundra]

@hallow jasper https://youtube.com/shorts/RIAd4UKgYsM?si=SYO3t1ufSW4_4zU0 someone did it

[sand epoch]

it's inr and it's 2k$ converted to usd

[dusky pawn]

2k for a 5080 is crazy

[sand epoch]

i paid 600$ for a white 7800xt lol

5070ti are minimum 1200$

[dusky pawn]

im not a nvidea fan btw so kinda based

i paid like 700 for a 7900xt

which outperforms in a lot of games the 5080

[sand epoch]

ye amd prices are ok here cuz nobody scalps them

[dusky pawn]

amd is goat

amd is raw performance no ai shi

[merry dagger]

1,947$ ? as far as I know that's literally twice from MSRP, too much

[sand epoch]

but I want to go nvidia cuz I'm not only gaming

[dusky pawn]

what do you do

[sand epoch]

editting which will use cuda cores so

[dusky pawn]

oh yea

[sand epoch]

editting and daw and blender

[dusky pawn]

i mean 7900xtx would be nice for price but 5090 its just faster

[sand epoch]

7900xtx didnt come close to a 4090 at its time but it was a competitor for the 4080

amd doesn't care about going against nvidias high end

[dusky pawn]

yea but ive seen some editors use it and its pretty okay

like for the price

[sand epoch]

cuda cores and nvidia tech makes it very easy

[ivory mountain]

Does in gaming not for like anything else though

[sand epoch]

ye ik

[dusky pawn]

i think amd just has better price per performance

[sand epoch]

these are the cheapest 5080 I can find

[dusky pawn]

how much is that in usd

[sand epoch]

which is 1,500$

[dusky pawn]

holy

[sand epoch]

they're black too eugh

[dusky pawn]

they are faster!

[merry dagger]

1500-2000 is literally 150-200% MSRP

[sand epoch]

im going for a white only build so need me a black

[sand epoch]

sucks to be in india

[dusky pawn]

i have a white ish build i just posted it

my card is black and silver

[sand epoch]

I think it would be cheaper for me to import a white 5080 from amazon.com and paying the 150$ shipping prices LMAO

[ivory mountain]

Why are we using Amazon for pc hardware

[dusky pawn]

maybe check ebay

[sand epoch]

I want warranty 😭

[dusky pawn]

simplicity and return policy and stuff

i do it too when its a good deal

[ivory mountain]

manufacturer warranty clears

[sand epoch]

because that's the only site we have here

[ivory mountain]

newegg has protection too

[ivory mountain]

are u in fucking burundi or some shit

[sand epoch]

no newegg , no best buy

[dusky pawn]

i like amazon customer service better

[sand epoch]

india , asia doesn't have so many retailers like usa

[merry dagger]

Try chineese shops like ali or something like that

[sand epoch]

ali is banned in india lmao

[pulsar horizon]

I think Galax ones are pretty cheap too

[dusky pawn]

although they just opened a microcenter near me and i alr built my friend a computer and it was a pretty sweet deal

[merry dagger]

whaat

[sand epoch]

same price

[dusky pawn]

without microcenter it would of costed like 1600 and it ended up being 1100

[sand epoch]

yes AliExpress banned in india

[pulsar horizon]

Tbh I’m probably just gonna wait for 5080 super or get 5090D v2

[ivory mountain]

u can buy a plane ticket to the usa and back and buy a 5080 at microcenter and still prolly be under 2k lmaoo

[sand epoch]

whenever I feel bad about having a 7800xt , i just open youtube and instagram comment section on tech videos and feel better cuz atleast I don't have igpu or rx 580 or a 1070ti

[dusky pawn]

lol

[pulsar horizon]

It’s not bad

[ivory mountain]

please pass

[sand epoch]

ye

[pulsar horizon]

You could buy an ROG Astral 5080 here for the price of a cheap 5080 in your area

It’s quite a lot cheaper here in Hong Kong rn

[sand epoch]

could I get stuff from Hong Kong?

do u know any retailers like Amazon in Hong Kong online

[pulsar horizon]

Not sure if there’s import tax

[sand epoch]

idc about taxes as long as it's under 2k

[pulsar horizon]

Most don’t really have oversea shipping tho

[sand epoch]

pity

I'll have to check in with local stores

then go to amazon if I have no choice

[pulsar horizon]

I think local stores are probably better

[ivory mountain]

fuckass market

[sand epoch]

issue is i don't even live near major cities so no big stores for me either

lmao 7900xtx is available near msrp

that's 1200$

fuck nvidia scalpers and fuck stupid import duties

How small a board/PCB can I get a micro SD to USB C male with one USB C female port for charging pass through?

[proper swift]

I’m in the market for a 27in 4K 240hz OLED, but I’m debating between one with DP 2.1 UHBR20 vs one with HDMI 2.1 (using DSC). What are the disadvantages of DSC and is it worth an extra $300 to get a display with the same panel but native UHBR20 (meaning no DSC needed)?

I heard it can mess up latency and multi monitor so that’s a point of contention for me

[flat cliff]

?

[plain cypress]

Do you have a native UHBR20 GPU?

Also $300 is a lot for the only difference being display connector

I would not pay $300 for UHBR20

[echo wagon]

would drivers for an intergrated graphics cpu mess with a 9070xt drivers?

[clear canyon]

no

[echo wagon]

Im getting some graphical glitches on my system and idk why its happening. all drivers are updated and everything

[clear canyon]

is it overclocked

and are you running out of vram

[echo wagon]

its not overclocked, and im not running out of vram I don't think.

sometimes when I tab into discord not the whole screen gets updated

only some parts do, only fixed by moving my mouse over the non-updated parts or alt tabbing

[clear canyon]

are you talking about your wallpaper going black and it will update when you highlight it

[echo wagon]

like the screen is just gray

until I run my mouse over it

[clear canyon]

try using a different video port on both the gpu and monitor

[echo wagon]

I only have one hdmi port on my gpu lol

and its 1am xD

ah ok

have you reinstalled gpu drivers after using DDU

[echo wagon]

I couldn't figure out how to use DDU

[clear canyon]

what was you confused on

[echo wagon]

first off, is it "download Mirror"? cause that looks like an ad lol

[clear canyon]

you just click the USA one

[echo wagon]

these ok?

[clear canyon]

you said you have an amd gpu right?

[echo wagon]

mhm

9070XT

[clear canyon]

so check all the amd stuff besides the 2nd to top of the amd stuff

then reinstall the gpu driver

[echo wagon]

should I do this?

[clear canyon]

its fine to ignore

[echo wagon]

alright, this is where I am at. do I just click update display driver?

[clear canyon]

np, if it persists, try reinstalling your wifi driver if you have one

[hoary agate]

Interesting

[clear canyon]

from what I looked up, its a driver related crash

either drivers or ram

does anyone know in their experience how long a SAMA case fan will last?

[shy olive]

Guys why did my internet speed get slower after like a few months of installing a new router, I hope this isn’t a dumb question.

[formal shore]

if your provider limits how much "high-speed" data you get that could be a cause if you're using more data per month than before

[shy olive]

Oh, does turning off a few devices work?

I mainly play at night

so nobody is using internet

But it’s still slow

[formal shore]

I would assume so as less devices on the internet = less usage and more bandwidth for you

[shy olive]

Slower than like 2 months when we got the new router, at that time it was fast, getting 50ms average in most shooter games, now I’m averaging 200.

[shy olive]

Maybe I should try that then, I mean I don’t have access to the router settings so the best thing I could do is that ig.

[formal shore]

try doing a speed test

then find a way to log into a site (whatever your provider offers) and see how much data you've used and if they limit your speeds after you use a certain amount

i figured it out

just an honest question, are RGB gpus worth it if you're mounting it horizontally and not vertically?
cuz you can't even see the RGB on the fans of a gpu

[tidal geyser]

[fading furnace]

msi shadow 2x oc rtx 5060 or sapphire pulse 9060 xt

which one is like better

[tidal geyser]

9060 xt 100%

[fading furnace]

its like 90cad more expensive rn should i still go for it?

[tidal geyser]

well 2X the vram

[fading furnace]

ok dud thanks

[tidal geyser]

i would also take a look at used cards like the rx 6700 xt and 6750 xt

[fading furnace]

what is this list about im kinda stupid

[tidal geyser]

relative performance

just comparing gpus to each other

[fading furnace]

ok!

[wheat torrent]

who the hell has 20 billion in bitcoin

a whale is too small of an animal for this in comparasion

[rigid fjord]

as long as the 9060xt is the 16gb version, go for it, otherwise the 8gb version of it and the 8gb 5060 really are bad purchase

[fading furnace]

ok!!!

[rigid fjord]

otherwise like sim said, go for a 6700xt/6750xt secondhand

[fading furnace]

do those perform better

and if so where can i find these secondhand stuff

facebook marketplace

[craggy cove]

do these turbo cards suck that much? cause i found one for 190€, meanwhile other triple fan variants are like 250€

[rigid fjord]

pretty much the same/similar performance

[craggy cove]

3060tis are also like 200€

[fading furnace]

alright

6700xt can be gotten for €200-240

[craggy cove]

if i wait long enough i could find one for 200€ i suppose

but isnt the 3070 better?

i dont think i will be vram limited anywhere either

[rigid fjord]

nope, it does to much asset culling to keep up performance due to being vram limited

3070 = 8gb vram
6700xt = 12gb vram
6750xt = 12gb vram

[craggy cove]

6750xts are like 250€ for some reason so yeah

[iron glen]

how big of a difference does FTP make compared to UTP?

guessing not much if its for your average joe

[rigid fjord]

isn't ftp completely different from utp

[iron glen]

according to this website yes

[rigid fjord]

ahh, see i was thinking file transfer protocol vs micro transport protocol

[iron glen]

oh, mb

also hi

[rigid fjord]

still for the cables yeah there's a difference lol

[iron glen]

in speeds or

[rigid fjord]

signal integratory via emi

[iron glen]

so in simpler terms if i have multiple routers router.a won't disturb my connection with router.b?

[rigid fjord]

in simpler terms, yeah

[iron glen]

awesome, ty

[rigid fjord]

i would definitely look more at shielded cable, especially if it'll be used outside

[empty quartz]

Fun fact: samsung was not the first to implement 120hz on a tablet

Apple was, and they did it back in 2017

[leaden grotto]

is this normal?

[cosmic lance]

why even make a 8gb version anyway

[cosmic lance]

what cpu is this?

[leaden grotto]

255H

it's my first time seeing something like this

so idk if this is normal

[cosmic lance]

it is dw

[leaden grotto]

oh

i thought usually l3 cache is the largest

[cosmic lance]

lol

[leaden grotto]

this is prob just a bug ig

[tidal geyser]

Cheaper

[cosmic lance]

like 20 bucks cheaper?

[tidal geyser]

More like 50

[iron glen]

40 / fiddy ish

im not good at math

[cosmic idol]

hows a 14400f for 115usd sound chat 🥶

[iron glen]

very bad at it actually

[cosmic lance]

cool

either buy that cpu or big meal

[cosmic idol]

🥶

[wheat torrent]

I wonder what happened here...

[valid fiber]

i don't see anything unusual

[wheat torrent]

there is cable muncher somewhere.........

WHO THOUGHT about removing the previews??? are they insane

what kind of person in the right mind decided to do that

nvm I did that

Ah shıt, here we go again

[idle hound]

How exactly do I fix this cables

[ebon marlin]

Scissors

https://tenor.com/view/yakuza-gif-19282842

[vapid onyx]

there's NO WAY that they sell used 4070s over msrp😭 🙏

606 usd

[ebon marlin]

This is normal on ebay

[vapid onyx]

atleast it has better prices than facebook marketplace

[ebon marlin]

Maybe because Facebook marketplace is utter poop

[vapid onyx]

so where should i buy used🗿

[ebon marlin]

There has to be a local app/site

[vapid onyx]

yeah that only gpu that sells is gt 1030

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-27111796

[dawn tundra]

Do you not have eBay or Alibaba or something like Craigslist or whatever

[vapid onyx]

what in the world did i find?

3090 and i can test it

[dawn tundra]

It's mini ITX

[cunning tree]

not that long ago i purchased a network card with wifi 7, BT 5.2
installed drivers and everything worked great

no clue what has happened but bluetooth is not working, though bletooth & devices does exist in settings. When i try to remove a paired dualsense controller it says removing device for a few seconds then remove failed. when i enter it into pairing mode it does not pop up when i press add device.

anyone know what may be wrong or how i can fix it?

[vapid onyx]

still 3090 man

[dawn tundra]

It's pretty much a compact computer

[vapid onyx]

what if i swap em into a case

it fixes everything

[dawn tundra]

Yeah but you might not be able to fit it

It has to fit within the tolerances and it has to be low profile

[vapid onyx]

so its fake?

[dawn tundra]

Make sure you go to the official website and get your version of the drivers that you require and try reinstalling them

[dawn tundra]

No I never said it was fake

[vapid onyx]

what about this? 900 euros

[cunning tree]

i did install drivers after i got it and it worked at first, not working now though. i tried reinstalling but got an error every time. just did it again now to show the error:

[swift stream]

why do hazbin hotel fans always have to look the exact same

[dawn tundra]

This could have been posted in public chat

[swift stream]

oh wait

[dawn tundra]

Are you using an actual card or is it built into your motherboard

[cunning tree]

this could indicate that its already installed, im not sure

[dawn tundra]

No what it's saying is that it's not reading your version that's already on it

[swift stream]

forgot i was in tech chat

[cunning tree]

a card i installed to a pcie slot and it was working

[cunning tree]

i dont think the issue is physical

[dawn tundra]

Okay make sure your card is fully seated and don't forget it might take a little bit of force to get it fully in

[cunning tree]

ill double check if its somehow gotten loose

[dawn tundra]

Take a picture if you want to send it

[cunning tree]

card is as seated as it'll get

[dawn tundra]

Are you sure that your card is compatible with your motherboard

Lol

[cunning tree]

yes

both asus, and it was working

i dont remember exactly but im pretty sure the mobo specifications specifically say its compatible

asus pce be6500
z490-f gaming

[dawn tundra]

Well just cuz it's on brand does it mean it's compatible but you said it was working earlier so I want you to try turning off your computer and uninstalling the card then turn your computer back on see what it says and then turn it off reinstall the card and then check again

[cunning tree]

yeah if the "version comparison" is failing because its the same version uninstalling may work

i can do that in device manager, right?

do i just uninstall em all?

[dawn tundra]

There should be an uninstall tool or whenever you boot it up there should be an option

I'm pretty sure the version comparison is because it's not reading because you like you said it's not working with anything else so it's probably not able to read off the card

[cunning tree]

https://www.asus.com/networking-iot-servers/adapters/all-series/pce-be6500/helpdesk_manual?model2Name=PCE-BE6500
dont think there's a tool

imma uninstall em all

[dawn tundra]

You're on Windows 11 right?

[cunning tree]

yes

[dawn tundra]

It's a relatively new card because it only has one update and it seems to be the first update or revision of any

[cunning tree]

i uninstalled them all, now im gonna take out the card, turn the pc off, put in the card, and see if i can run the driver setup

[dawn tundra]

Go ahead try that

[river oak]

um, guys, i built my pc 1.5 years ago. recently, this mid july, it has been showing symptoms of instability, even with a updated bios. i currently have the tuf z790 plus wifi ddr5, with a couple of bent pins, but that is not a issue as it has only prevented ram channnels 1 and 2 from working and overclocking the ram. but the syptoms i see are the status acces code violation in chrome, and frequent discord crashes. sometimes i get the out of video memory allocation error in games, my hdmi is plugged into my rtx 4070 ti suoer. i am only 14 and i dont really know if i can get a new cpu.

[tidal geyser]

the bios does not fix the instability issue

the cake is already baked

[river oak]

shit dude

what should i do

[tidal geyser]

RMA the cpu

[river oak]

idk if my dad will rma and get me am5

how do i convince him lol

[river oak]

yeah

[tidal geyser]

stop it

[river oak]

sorrry

[tidal geyser]

are you using a contact frame?

[river oak]

yes

arctic

came with the aio

[tidal geyser]

that is the issue

[river oak]

why tho?

i thought they are good

[tidal geyser]

ever wondered what the pins in the socket does

[river oak]

that is the only mounting hardware for the aio tho

[river oak]

send charges to the contacts

[tidal geyser]

you need to tighten it right

[river oak]

but like why would i get status access code violation

[dawn tundra]

Go around in a circle evenly tightening them if you do like two turns on each going around then that should be good

[river oak]

after 1 year? too

[river oak]

tthats what i did

do 1 and 2 screws

then 3 and 4

[tidal geyser]

some peoples cpu only lasted a few months

[river oak]

in a cross pattern

[river oak]

so should i rma the cpu lol

ill ask my dad

[tidal geyser]

is the cpu the issue or the contact frame

[dawn tundra]

Damn has it really gotten that bad

[tidal geyser]

"has it"?

[dawn tundra]

I don't know I kind of feel like it has

[cunning tree]

welp

[river oak]

should i get am5?

[dawn tundra]

Am5 is a layout type it's newer if you don't have the motherboard for it then you're going to need to get a new motherboard

[tidal geyser]

remember the main reason why some are affected others not is due to silicon quality, if you got unluck it could be months if you got lucky you just got more performance with no issues

[river oak]

i will lol

ik allat

i built my pc

[tidal geyser]

you already have something that could be working perfect maybe with just some tightening

[dawn tundra]

I know I'm just saying some people come in here with never having touched a computer

[river oak]

yeah but what if it is instablilty

like ittl degrade over time

[cunning tree]

i remember i had a similar issue a while ago where it at least temporarily helped to force remove the controller using a win10 legacy devices and pritners control panel screen or something, anyone know how to bring that up?

[river oak]

then it will become no use

[dawn tundra]

Well I mean tightening it wouldn't hurt just to try it and eliminate the option

[tidal geyser]

i did not see this part "with a couple of bent pins"

no shit is it unstable

[dawn tundra]

Time to get a razor blade out

[river oak]

yeah like 2

[tidal geyser]

"like 2"

[dawn tundra]

You're saying that you let them be bent

[river oak]

i checked the pinout

[tidal geyser]

and those did

[dawn tundra]

You didn't think to try to fix it?

[river oak]

they are ram

[river oak]

i did

but i dint wanna break it more

[dawn tundra]

I don't think it's that man I think there's something wrong with your card

[river oak]

i asked one of my moms frnds who used to work on such things

[dawn tundra]

Well if you don't this is what's going to happen

[river oak]

he said its fine

[dawn tundra]

It's not that you're going to break it more just use a magnifying glass and a razor blade

[river oak]

i cant do it myself

[dawn tundra]

It's definitely not fine

[tidal geyser]

"and then he fists the socket"

[river oak]

my dad will kill me

he told me to never touch around it lol

[dawn tundra]

Lel

[river oak]

im not such a idiot

it happened during repasting

[tidal geyser]

repasting?

[river oak]

the aio dont fit my case

so it scratched the pins

[dawn tundra]

You don't have to take the CPU out to replace it technically

Did you get thermal paste on the pins

[river oak]

didnt put enought

[tidal geyser]

this pc is 1 years old right?

[river oak]

nah nah

[river oak]

yeah im actually 2 embarresed to say reason

[tidal geyser]

wat

[river oak]

why the pins broke

i broke my tv one day by accident

my dad took away the cpu

[dawn tundra]

Well we can't help you if you don't let us we're not going to judge you I mean or at least I won't cuz I know mistakes happen

[river oak]

so since the aio was left hanging

it scratched the pins some of them

i got a anxietyttack when i noticed

like after aweek

[dawn tundra]

So the pins on the CPU are bent how bent are they?

[river oak]

ill sed a pic

send

wait

[dawn tundra]

It's okay don't worry I read it as send anyway

[latent tundra]

Vivaldi browser yes or no

[dawn tundra]

No

[latent tundra]

why

aside from it being another chromium

[cunning tree]

brought up the legacy control panel and clicked remove, it also failed but now its working 😂

[dawn tundra]

No

[cunning tree]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dawn tundra]

Yeah that's going to cause a pretty big issue you're going to need to fix that like I said the best way to do that is with a razor blade and a magnifying glass

[latent tundra]

.....

but why. That's literally what I asked

give me a reason before hitting that install button
