[clear canyon]

im thinking of bringing a 5th for ai training since I was told AI is required in the senior project

[azure dragon]

I wanna make a NAS but idk how and idk if it would be worth it 😭😭😭

[clear canyon]

its very easy, you just build a normal pc but add extra drives then install "Truenas scale"

[lyric horizon]

I use truenas scale and love it. It’s not hard to setup

[azure dragon]

Ah

[clear canyon]

true nas is an OS for NAS

[azure dragon]

Ok that makes sense

[clear canyon]

ikr, I love mine, I host my media server on it

[lyric horizon]

Same and my isos.

[clear canyon]

166 movies and 62 different animes with multiple seasons currently

[lyric horizon]

Oh and video footage that I need to edit among several computers (not at the same time tho).

[azure dragon]

Ok back to main topic. So I should get another pc. How much should I spend im thinking 1k tbh. I dont have a lot of money. And should I make it myself or buy a prevuilt from lile ZTT or jawa?

[clear canyon]

do you need it to be beefy in any way or just coding?

[azure dragon]

Well i also game. But lightly. And i prefer frames over quality so realistically anything over 144 fps is overkill since thats my monitor.

[clear canyon]

what games at what res

[azure dragon]

Uhh the finals at like 1080p

[clear canyon]

ok so not very strong

also, brb, my internet is shitting the bed

[azure dragon]

Take your time

[clear canyon]

back

[azure dragon]

I have 2100 in the bank right now. And im getting 1200 back from my grant for college each semester

[clear canyon]

so what would ur budget be and do you want the pc to be for gaming or do you want to leave the gaming to the laptop

[azure dragon]

I dont want to leave the laptop for gaming. I want the laptop to be for school mainly. And I think the budget would be around 900-1000

[clear canyon]

USD?

[azure dragon]

Yes

[clear canyon]

alright, just as a heads up, pc parts are not cheap currently so it wont be as good as it can be, 2nd hand is def the way to go but ill try to spec out a base pc

[azure dragon]

Ive never built a pc before but I know i would get a better pc if I did build it

[flat cliff]

Yeah used android tablets no, don't they won't get updates and ouch, google and Samsung offer good years for support though.

But not on the older stuff.

[clear canyon]

so would you want a prebuilt or one you do yourself?

[azure dragon]

Idk thats the issue it depends on what my grandparents would say 🥀🥀🥀

[clear canyon]

hmmm... ill spec out a custom and find a prebuilt

[azure dragon]

I want a mini itx cause its small and would EASILY fit in my dorm but it would cost more as well

[clear canyon]

yeah ur not gonna get a good one with a 1k budget

mini itx has a premium

[azure dragon]

What about micro atx.

[clear canyon]

thats a cheaper alternative

ill build around that

[azure dragon]

🙏🙏🙏

Thank you kind stranger 😭😭😭

[clear canyon]

np

[leaden grotto]

Personal experience is that pre built are usually cheaper

[azure dragon]

Yeah cause yoy have to buy thermal paste and all that shit as well

[clear canyon]

yup

[leaden grotto]

And they usually cheap out on ssd, psu, casing etc

[azure dragon]

That's why im trying to figure out if its worth it to build or do pre-built

[leaden grotto]

If ur on a budget, most of the time pre built will be more worth it

Only cons is u might get cheaper components and their after sales service usually sucks

[azure dragon]

Yeah but I've always wanted to build a computer as well so it depends on the price difference

Plus I have some thermal paste in one of my club rooms 💀💀

[clear canyon]

@azure dragon I tried to do my best. Amazon has very little decent choices and parts are just pricy, if you want the best overall peformance, mine is the best option, prebuilt wise, the 1st option has a better cpu and prebuilt 2 has a better gpu. all with 32gigs of ram

My choice computer: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/C2VKt3

Prebuilt 1: https://a.co/d/cyVqtPK

Prebuilt 2: https://a.co/d/8xxmIgM (has better gpu for better gaming over the 1st prebuilt)

all under 1k

[sage ocean]

is otterbox still good for phone cases

[clear canyon]

yes

[upbeat cove]

spigen has never let me down

[azure dragon]

If I do prevuikt I think I'll go the first cause it has a better cpu

[clear canyon]

it will still get you around 144fps on the finals too, just not on max settings

[upbeat cove]

if you're not set on building it's also worth checking marketplace for used pc's

[azure dragon]

I was checking jawa

[upbeat cove]

guy ik got a build with a 4070 for around 600 iirc

[azure dragon]

I found this one pc let me send it

https://www.jawa.gg/product/81861/all-white-gaming-pc-or-rx-9060-xt-or-ryzen-7-5700x-or-mini-itx-nr200p-or-argb?page=2

Idk.how good it is but I love how small it looks

[clear canyon]

just sucks its on am4

but its not bad

[upbeat cove]

quite expensive for what it is

[azure dragon]

I didn't realize that 😭😭

[upbeat cove]

do you have a microcenter near you?

[azure dragon]

HELL Nah

[upbeat cove]

rip microcenter bundle meta

[azure dragon]

I know 🥀🥀

[upbeat cove]

def check facebook marketplace then. people just be selling shit for nothing

[azure dragon]

That prevuilt for 900 thats all white is looking clean though

[clear canyon]

https://www.jawa.gg/product/87184/small-but-mighty-5800x3d-arc-b580-itx-build-game-ready?utm_campaign=share-listing&utm_source=jawa&utm_medium=website&utm_content=share-button

this is a nice build

[upbeat cove]

i mean if you care about size and aesthetics there's the m4 mac mini for 500 with student discount but you're not gonna be gaming on that thing

[clear canyon]

the pc needs to run games

[azure dragon]

I game regularly

Not super intensive im a casual

[upbeat cove]

the laptopo could do the gaming

[sinful cobalt]

mf thats basically my ITX build

[clear canyon]

bc it is lol

[azure dragon]

I dont want it to. I want it for exclusively school

[sinful cobalt]

only the fans and CPU cooler are different- other than that the performance is pretty similar

[clear canyon]

thats what was requested so I check itx first

[azure dragon]

Intel arc 🥀🥀

[clear canyon]

intel isnt bad

[sinful cobalt]

5800X3D vs 7600X
both B580
mines a SP750
my CPU cooler’s a Assassin 4 by Deepcool

[clear canyon]

and its the b580

[azure dragon]

I was always told dont get an intel gpu

[clear canyon]

why?

[sinful cobalt]

XESS 2 is the goat when it comes to optiscaler (Im not including FSR4 thats a AMD problem)

[azure dragon]

Cause they suck

[clear canyon]

they dont suck lol

[sinful cobalt]

B580 is a W 1080p card

I personally run competitive word and excel at 1440p 240hz tho

[azure dragon]

Lmaoo only issue is I also have to buy a new monitor and a new keyboard 😭😭

I have this shitty 60 hz monitor. And kinda want a second one as well ngl.

[clear canyon]

CUSTOM! custom keyboard is the way to go, also, custom does not mean expenesive

[azure dragon]

Ok but that brings uo the same issue as building a pc. I gotta buy the parts

[sinful cobalt]

360, 240, 144, 120 and 100hz monitors here

[clear canyon]

its far easier to assemble a keyboard

[azure dragon]

And do it myself

[sage ocean]

chat is this a waste of money

[upbeat cove]

custom keyboards are almost always more expensive

[azure dragon]

Hmmm true

[clear canyon]

like 4 screws and popping off the keycaps and switches

[sinful cobalt]

360, 240, 144, 120 and 100hz monitors here lmao

[azure dragon]

Ah how much is it? And where can I get the parts

[clear canyon]

takes a bit of time depending on the size you go for but 10000000% worth it

[azure dragon]

60%

[clear canyon]

all on amazon and it depends on what you want/get

[clear canyon]

they are not very expeneive

[hexed tapir]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ-KZzVUV7U

[sinful cobalt]

I modded a mechanical and built my current custom 80HE

[azure dragon]

@clear canyon can i dm you?

[sage ocean]

R270 vs R180 whats the difference

[upbeat cove]

toast quality

[hexed tapir]

they both take your money to warm bread

[clear canyon]

@azure dragon here is my custom keyboards, bottom is a 60%, top is 80%

[hexed tapir]

[hexed tapir]

nah man work bench desk

[hexed tapir]

they cant do anything about dms

[azure dragon]

do you need the keyboard case?

[clear canyon]

no, but I have it bc the 60% is a travel keyboard for classes

[azure dragon]

ah i'll most likely be keeping it only for my desktop not for anything else

[clear canyon]

if you do get it, its very nice

[azure dragon]

so that shaves off some money

[clear canyon]

yep

[upbeat cove]

make your keys feel squishy

they're supposed to dampen the sound slightly but they really don't

[clear canyon]

it makes the keys not have a hard stop, its not necessary

[azure dragon]

I don't want them to feel squishy

[upbeat cove]

some silent switches have rubber bits inside the stem which give the same effect without reducing travel distance

[azure dragon]

i want a like. Click clack 😭

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/cyberpunk-2077-johnny-silverhand-keanu-reeves-gif-8037993240846987430

[clear canyon]

you dont need to get them, I took them off for a different build

[upbeat cove]

most people don't like them. no need to get them if you don't want that

[clear canyon]

i find that they are good with cheaper keyboards that you cant mod much

[sinful cobalt]

the GPS felt my aura

[clear canyon]

its not needed with the ones I linked

do the foam pads make the sound less clacky?

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-car-crash-died-gif-13992121

[clear canyon]

YES, big time

it makes it more thocky

[hexed tapir]

[upbeat cove]

wdym bro that's the best deal in tech

[hexed tapir]

dont pay for the key then

[sinful cobalt]

you said safe not cheap

[wispy charm]

there is definitely other safe places that sell keys that are also not $140

[sinful cobalt]

okay name me one

[wispy charm]

z

[hexed tapir]

https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windоws-Home-OEM-DVD/dp/B09MYJ1R6L/ 120

[sinful cobalt]

the most safe and cheap one from an actual authorised reseller is still like $100

[hexed tapir]

we can only tell you about the lawfull non break tos ways of buying it

[wispy charm]

lmfao

sad humans

[upbeat cove]

god forbid microsoft lose money on their software magnum opus

[sinful cobalt]

lil bro is trying to get windows 11 pro for cheap through “safe and legitimate sites” for his probably 4060 build

[raw whale]

i heard b650 are getting discontinued is it only production or support as well?

[sinful cobalt]

production only

[raw whale]

alr

cuz i just bought b650 😂

[hexed tapir]

you dont need a windows key to use windows btw

[sinful cobalt]

why u telling me that bruh tell it to him

[wispy charm]

[sinful cobalt]

who the fuck are you

[wispy charm]

mtvmilad

[hexed tapir]

gold fish brain forgot who wanted the key

[sinful cobalt]

yeah dont know that guy

[wispy charm]

why u insulting my build

[sinful cobalt]

just some npc trying to throw words around

[wispy charm]

i cant afford anyhting better than a 4060, my dad works 40 hours a week and he paid for it

he is a carpenter and saved up for 4 months to buy me this pc, I know its not the best but its all he could get

[royal wagon]

Cdkeys that both bitwit and tech source take sponsorships from. I’ve used them 3 times with zero issues.

[sinful cobalt]

those still arent safe even if they are sponsors

[royal wagon]

Ig It depends on what you consider “safe”

[tidal geyser]

B350 and a320 is still getting support

You could have bought one of those in 2016 and updated it with a bios from this year

[stone temple]

@tidal geyser do you remember our conversation about laptops

[tidal geyser]

No

[stone temple]

I asked how much I would have to spend to get a laptop equal to 2070s an ryzen 5 7600

[tidal geyser]

4060m

[sinful cobalt]

what you’re describing is “working”

[tidal geyser]

So like what did I say 1.5k

Well used 4060 zen 4 laptops should be around 1k maybe even new

[stone temple]

yea but then some other people said 2k

so wanted to know what the conclusion of that was

[tidal geyser]

2k is for a Ryzen ai max thing

[sinful cobalt]

what about 5050 laptops with 32gb ram

[tidal geyser]

Apu with the same performance

O yea 5050m is better than the desktop 2070 super

[sinful cobalt]

8GB GDDR7 as well

[tidal geyser]

What are you talking about

[sinful cobalt]

5050 laptop?

[tidal geyser]

5050 is not gddr7 at all

[sinful cobalt]

it is

desktop 5050 is GDDR6 whilst 5050 laptop is 7

is it not

[tidal geyser]

Why would they make the desktop one worse

Why would they not just release a gddr7 of the desktop of they already do it for the mobile

[sinful cobalt]

because its nvidia they do whatever tf they want

[stone temple]

Sim can you any recommendations for laptops around 1.5k that have similar or better performance than my current desktop?

[tidal geyser]

But no, rtx 5050 is gddr6 only

[wispy charm]

@sinful cobalt Why do you financially shame people?

[tidal geyser]

What country

[stone temple]

Netherlands

[sinful cobalt]

desktop

[tidal geyser]

Where is that from

[stone temple]

But I can always order international shipping

[sinful cobalt]

straight from nvidia

[tidal geyser]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-5050-mobile.c4239

TPU is saying 6

[sinful cobalt]

When was I ever financially
shaming you

[stone temple]

why no international shipping? power thing?

[sinful cobalt]

Did I state 4060 people are poor? No, theres people worse off than whoever can afford a 4060

[sinful cobalt]

It could just be an error on their end

Everywhere else except TPU is stating GDDR7

[tidal geyser]

Dam

[tidal geyser]

It will almost always cost more than local

But does the battery need to last?

[sinful cobalt]

Gigatroll-Intel gamer days and proceeds to advertise AMD and nvidia

[wispy charm]

You flamed me for having a 4060 build

[sinful cobalt]

Wheres the flame in that? That was simply a guess about ur PC

I clearly have no idea what you’re talking about

[wispy charm]

ur flaming me for wanting to get windows 11 pro on my 4060 build

[sinful cobalt]

Yeah, “trying” is flaming now

If I really was flaming you I wouldve put some laughing emoji at the back

[wispy charm]

i mean its obvious what u implied

🙁 please just apologize u hurt my feelings

my dad worked hard for this pc

[sinful cobalt]

why- you mad?

I felt nothing when I said that

[wispy charm]

im not mad, im sad.

[sinful cobalt]

I genuinely just blurted it out with no emotion behind what I said about ur windows 11 pro and 4060 build

[wispy charm]

im gonna cry

210% lol

[shy remnant]

In general, what do you think is better; Old high end cards, or new mid range cards?

[swift moss]

I like how my bro just slips in usury casually as a money making method

"lets just gloss over that"

[fallow bluff]

Is there a fork of Android? And who maintains it?

[swift moss]

Yes obviously but none are relevant

Theres no direct alternative to android

Every major operating system uses android GSI

[stone temple]

No

[swift moss]

Even grapheneos uses something skmilar

[stone temple]

Sorry for the late reply

[swift moss]

Lord these are the most 1630s translations ever

[swift moss]

That is android based

There's obviously postmarketos and stuff like that

But that's the Linux kernel vs android kernel

[fallow bluff]

I ask this because Google is pulling a BS move again, this time they require developer verification for apps outside the play store.

[swift moss]

I saw the post yeah

That is going into the android gsi believe

[tidal geyser]

dis should be a massive upgrade

[swift moss]

"they are the TSA for the airport I bought"

Because in their post they compared it to id checks at airports

If you don't need app support you could try postmarketos with phosh

[fallow bluff]

That doesn't make sense, especially in the Operating system that we have bought, and they already have their own checks in the play store itself. Why tf do they bother with apps outside of their domain?

[tidal geyser]

WTF the 5070M only has 8GB vram

[swift moss]

"safety", as always

No, it's information control and restricting freedom

And money

[abstract wigeon]

is the rm650x gonna last me forever with my 9070xt or is it gonna randomly die on me at some point do we think?

[tidal geyser]

at least its getting power

[tidal geyser]

its fineeee

[abstract wigeon]

im nervous 😖😖

dont wanna pop my 600 clam gpu on day 1

[ancient stratus]

would it be “safe” And would I even be able to overclock a ryzen 5500 and 5060 8gb lol (I need to milk what I can out of the budget pc)

[latent pasture]

look up pbo tutorial

[abstract wigeon]

i mean it should be fine my cpu is a 7600 so it never draws that much power and the 9070xt is what like 320 under load

[ancient stratus]

That may have been a silly question lol but I genuinely don’t know

[latent pasture]

tho its a cutdown laptop chip put on desktop meaning its even more less binned to not make it into laptops
not sure youll get much out of it

[swift moss]

"For which reason the art of money-getting seems to be chiefly conversant about trade, and the business of it to be able to tell where the greatest profits can be made, being the means of procuring abundance of wealth and possessions: and thus wealth is very often supposed to consist in the quantity of money which any one possesses, as this is the medium by which all trade is conducted and a fortune made, others again regard it as of no value, as being of none by nature, but arbitrarily made so by compact; so that if those who use it should alter their sentiments, it would be worth nothing, as being of no service for any necessary purpose"

[abstract wigeon]

pbo the cpu and just overclock+undevolt tutorial the gpu

[ancient stratus]

Pbo? Sorry Im not that tier of pc wizard yet

i know people satisfied with gtx 1650 for 7 years

i hope my 12$ surface book 2 comes with it

brand new?

[cosmic lance]

no, its like 3-4 years old, its my boot ssd

[tidal geyser]

then read

also i am blind

[cosmic lance]

where the hell do i backup

i dont have another ssd

[cosmic lance]

i mean, i have but its reserved to fortnite

[tidal geyser]

do you care about any of the data

[cosmic lance]

idk, do i?

but the ssd is working fine

why does it says i need to backup

[fallow bluff]

Either the smart chip has crapped out or the SSD is in the verge of not working at a moment's notice.

[tidal geyser]

install and open crystal disk info

[cosmic lance]

alr

[tidal geyser]

but it looks fucked

[ancient stratus]

wsit so can someone tell me thr issue. I do want to learn more stuff

Ik Preformace js as good as it can be

Health is poop but it says it looks fine in the message below

[ancient stratus]

Yeah. I saw that but then below that it says “the status of the ssd is perfect”

[ancient stratus]

Oh

[native karma]

I unfortunately do not think this keyboard works anymore

[cosmic lance]

what now?

[fallow bluff]

Performance says that it's running normally, but the chips itself are on the verge of breaking.

[tidal geyser]

the data integrity is perfect but the NAND cells on it are fucked

[tidal geyser]

you cant read

[fallow bluff]

Have you ran the tests?

[cosmic lance]

runing it rn

[tidal geyser]

you do not deserve keyboards

[ancient stratus]

NAND is what reads the data right?

[tidal geyser]

that is the controller

NAND is the storage itself

[native karma]

it was dead before i snapped it, the fucken thing burnt up after a huge overcurrent

[ancient stratus]

that’s why I buy cheap keyboard lol

[tidal geyser]

more than 0.5?

[cosmic lance]

i had the same exact one

[valid fiber]

i know that feeling

[ancient stratus]

oh thank you. Again Im trying to learn more and more so I can eventually troubleshoot my own pc in thr event something like this happens to me

[native karma]

a cheap keyboard will be shitty
a mid range keyboard is perfectly fine and will last
high end keyboards are for the snobs who design keyboards from scratch, ahem, slimevr

[ancient stratus]

“Newmen mechanical keyboard” or smth lol

[ancient stratus]

I paid about £30 I believe it’s hot swappable too and it’s made of metal. Im happy with this to be honest. It does what it needs to do and makes “clicky clicky sound”

[tidal geyser]

i just cant do anything smaller than TKL

[ancient stratus]

not sure what metal but it’s decently heavy and I doubt I could bend it lol. I ideally wanted thr one with where it’s. 100% board but you can legit slide the num pad off whenever

Might be razor Im not too sure

[tidal geyser]

aluminium

[ancient stratus]

More than likely

[tidal geyser]

even high end ones are that

[ancient stratus]

Let me check how much I paid one sec

£25 I paid

[tidal geyser]

was it used

[ancient stratus]

No lol I got it off Amazon

[tidal geyser]

o wow

[ancient stratus]

I got on a sale tho

[valid fiber]

after month of waiting someone sold the same keyboard i had used on ebay
i just don't want a new keyboard or mouse that throws of my muscle memory or sound different

[ancient stratus]

It’s original price is £30 odd

Might have been £35

[tidal geyser]

so do not get one?

why even consider it if the stuff you have now is fine

[ancient stratus]

Quick question do you think ryzen 5 5500 and rtx 5060 is good at rendering and building lighting ect on UE5 and blender ect

[solar moat]

not good parts but it runs

[icy fossil]

is the sf750 psu enough for powercolor 9070xt

[tidal geyser]

tf are those kinda specs

[solar moat]

very bad ones

[tidal geyser]

how much power do you think the 9070 xt uses?

[ancient stratus]

Prebuilt budget. I plan to upgrade asap but it’s all I could afford rn. Im legit poor like borderline poor

[tidal geyser]

that are not poor specs

[ancient stratus]

It’s £800 on Argos lol took me a while to get the money but I did

[tidal geyser]

i would even get a rx 7600 but a r5 7600 over that build any day for that kinda move

[ancient stratus]

Huh

[tidal geyser]

psu is e-waste, the ssd is trash, the case is just a pain, the motherboard is probs so bad you cant even get more performance by going for a better cpu, the ram is so small and slow you cant even do much, and so on

[tidal geyser]

prebuilts are horrible

[tidal geyser]

why tf are you testing the speed also jesus 128GB ssd

[cosmic lance]

the hell would i test

[ancient stratus]

Im aware lol. It should be good for 1080p gaming tho?

[ancient stratus]

If I was to upgrade what do I upgrade first lol

[cosmic lance]

:/

[tidal geyser]

that cpu is sad

[valid fiber]

yup i got one. and i even have a spare mouse now

[tidal geyser]

am4 is a platform so close to the grave its not even worth considering new

[ancient stratus]

My vram on the card is only 8gb too 😭

[ancient stratus]

I need a am5 board too I need to order one when I get thr pc and actually get a little more money

[icy fossil]

around 300W under load i think? Im also planning to undervolt it just dont know if 750W is simply not enough, if theres a significant risk of failure or damage to components or if its ok but not ideal

[tidal geyser]

prebuilts are mostly only ever bad

[tidal geyser]

are you putting a threadripper in there?

[tidal geyser]

i cant see how you can use more than 450w on the cpu or extra stuff

[tidal geyser]

question, why did you even run the first test

[cosmic lance]

idk

[tidal geyser]

wat

you do not just randomly decide to install some random software one day just because

[cosmic lance]

mb

[tidal geyser]

not talking about mark

[ancient stratus]

It’s my first pc i dont entirely trust myself building a pc but I’ve been coding ect through my Chromebook and I’ve been using a virtual machine on my friends pc to use blender and UE5 to finish my game off and Ive finally pulled the trigger on getting a pc. So no my pc specs aren’t good enough to build lighting and render stuff?……

[tidal geyser]

talking about the first disk checking thing you did

[icy fossil]

my cpu is ryzen 5 9600X, leaving it at 65w tdp although it can draw up to ~105W if you enable it in bios

[cosmic lance]

i installed it because yesterday, one of my drives were corrupted

[tidal geyser]

sooooooo 350w

[tidal geyser]

fyi a 128GB QLC ssd with that much writes is over the limit the manufacturer says it can do

pleas get a modern TLC SSD

[cosmic lance]

cant

[tidal geyser]

i will make it VERY clear, a prebuilt will almost always mean you need to replace the entire thing when you wanna upgrade

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/job-jumpscare-job-application-job-meme-job-jumpscare-gif-5102454363566376023

[ancient stratus]

Welp 😞

[cosmic lance]

my mom dont want to

[tidal geyser]

NO YOU WORK

why tf are you forcing others to work while you cant bother

[frigid topaz]

My 20€ cpu just arrived from aliexpress haha

[tidal geyser]

i am afraid to ask, what cpu

[frigid topaz]

I3 12100f

[tidal geyser]

o sick

got a i7 9700 in gaming performance there

[frigid topaz]

Nice

I only bought it cause im getting a free mobo, ram and cooler

[tidal geyser]

yea that guy

[frigid topaz]

Yeah hes switching to ddr5

[ancient stratus]

Ik Im being annoying
What budget specs would be good for rendering ect? Need gaming and rendering

[cosmic lance]

no, i have the money, my mom doesnt let me spend it

[cosmic lance]

depends, what is the budget

[ancient stratus]

I can get stuff slowly so ignore the budget

Preferable less then like 1500 in total tho but I can get stuff slowly

[cosmic lance]

Ryzen 9 7900X and rtx 3080?

pretty sure it can fit in your budget

[tidal geyser]

that is the worst strangest combo i heard of for 1500

well ok not worst but really bad

[cosmic lance]

oh ok, im sorry my knowledge is really basic

what do you suggest for him?

[tidal geyser]

Buy it all at once

[cosmic lance]

but like, what specs?

[tidal geyser]

how much money does he have now

bet he could get a 5600 and 3070 pc used for 600

[cosmic lance]

he could also get a 5070 if he is lucky

but yeah

[stuck depot]

this really makes no sense, my rx 570 somehow has rx 580x drivers

[tidal geyser]

no

[tidal geyser]

not drivers vbios

[cosmic lance]

there's an X version of the 580?

[stuck depot]

uh no

the vbios is from the rx 570...

[stuck depot]

yes, however its the exact same rx 580 with slightly better memory

[cosmic lance]

lol

i wish i hadnt have the 4gb one

[stuck depot]

it wouldn't surprise me if the drivers for the rx 580 are the same as the 570 ones

[rough kernel]

hey uuuhm i have a question, so i recently upgraded to a new motherboard, new case and a new psu. in the old case and old motherboard The RAM was working fine. in the new Motherboard one of the ram sticks just died, tested all slots refuses to boot with it in. at first my suspiscioun was a psu fault bcs the gpu didnt get power but then i thought: wait its not looking at the GPU in the boot process, so i troubleshooted the cpu (bcs cpu light was on) but no, tested the ram and BAM one of my sticks is dead

how could that happen, just static electricity killing it?

[tidal geyser]

then someone flashed the wrong vbios

[stuck depot]

no

this card was never running custom bioses or anything

the only card in my posession that is running a fixed vbios is my rx 5500 xt because amd fucked it up so badly for multiple displays, someone fixed it

[cosmic lance]

our gpu is from the exact same manufactuer, the same ammount of vram, the same bus width, just a number difference, is that a sign?

[tidal geyser]

turn on XMP

[cosmic lance]

how would that benefit me?

[tidal geyser]

why would it not?

[cosmic lance]

i dont know, i only have the a-xmp option

i turn it on sometimes

[tidal geyser]

that is XMP 😐

[cosmic lance]

oh ok

btw thanks for helping me for the ssd issue

[tidal geyser]

but uh, sometimes???

tf you mean sometimes

[cosmic lance]

sometimes when i need to do somethinng inside of the pc, i unplug it, and when i do, the cmos battery resets (?) and need to put what i want to put in the BIOS, since its the option it gives me

then i can boot up to windows

[tidal geyser]

pleas get a new cr2032 battery

[cosmic lance]

no

[tidal geyser]

yes

[plain fern]

hey guys how can i get a actual good 1920x1080p live wallpaper without it being blurry and not that HD

[flat ingot]

What do i do? Someone said download this..idk whats next

Just bought PC

[latent pasture]

nothing for now (?)
make sure basic stuff like vrr is on ig
that app comes with the latest drivers, which r the reason ppl tell u to download it

[tidal geyser]

its done

[flat ingot]

But i just downloaded app, did nothing

[tidal geyser]

yea

[latent pasture]

in installed the drivers which r 97% of the thing

[flat ingot]

Is RPM of fans alr? Imd doing nothing

[tidal geyser]

jesus christ

[sinful cobalt]

oh gawd gigabyte control centre

[latent pasture]

what kind of fan noise ur willing to tolerate is up to u

[tidal geyser]

once you start up a game that shit is going to max out

[flat ingot]

Im fine as long as it work fine

[flat ingot]

So its not good.

[tidal geyser]

set 100% to 100c

80% can be like 95c

[flat ingot]

How do i set manualy

[tidal geyser]

you move the dots?

[flat ingot]

Oh..yeah, me stupid..

So i dont need to do anything?

[quasi moat]

Cheapest route to a dual monitor

[flat ingot]

Also, Idk if i need to do anything in BIOS

[tidal geyser]

just make sure xmp and rebar is on

[tidal geyser]

is this not a screen?

[flat ingot]

Ill try too see

[deep pumice]

Hey guys, is Elijah in here? I need to talk to him about this network boot shit he's working with for the whale lan. I might have something sick I've been working on

[tidal geyser]

you can write a mail to support but not much can happen here

i think the only person here who can really talk to him would be kirashi

or langley

[cosmic lance]

why does it look like that?

is there a way to fix it?

[cosmic lance]

the gray looks wierd

[tidal geyser]

do you just never check settings for anything, the settings icon in the video

[cosmic lance]

?

[flat ingot]

Im downloading language and it gone up to 72°C is it normal?!

[tidal geyser]

stop it

[flat ingot]

Huh?

[tidal geyser]

ambient mode, you know the thing with a picture of light around a square like lets say something that is happening

[tidal geyser]

stop it

[flat ingot]

Why?

[tidal geyser]

DO NOT worry about temps unless your at 50w and 95c

[flat ingot]

But wouldnt it mean when i play or stream it would get to high

[tidal geyser]

.

i said UNLESSSS

[random gyro]

Anyone knows a lot about LG OLED tvs connected to PC through HDMI? Almost all Picture settings are greyed out

[tidal geyser]

i swear physics classes should teach this but, the hotter something is in a area with colder stuff the faster it will give off its energy

[tidal geyser]

das is how it is

also bet you are using HDR

[random gyro]

No HDR. Seems like i have to use this LG Tool to activate the stuff from my PC. That's definitely Not how it should be

[winged bluff]

when buying a full used pc what should i ask the seller for instead of the boxes,benchmarks?

[tidal geyser]

boxes?

[knotty jasper]

Hey Linus, team and discord I have a question for some reason when I took my pc to the tech store all I wanted was a 2x 16gb ddr4 rams should sticks, dust out (clean), updated driver and thermal paste so they did all that I grabbed it from them and I plugged my pc in today and the pc went into recovery mode so I fixed that and then I restarted my pc for a update and now my pc turns on doesn’t boot tho and just sits there going as fast as it can with the fans. How do I fix that if anyone has any idea or knows. ( I have a 1660ti, ryzon 7, motherboard I have know idea and 2x 16gb ddr4) it’s a prebuilt btw and it never did this before.

[knotty jasper]

??

[whole garden]

[winged bluff]

not sure why but i remember someone telling me to ask them for it guessing if i want to resell?

[true stirrup]

Downloading the launcher or downloading league through the launcher? Because that launcher is just crap and can do stupid stuff without reason
For a while it was maxing out people's graphics cards. My PC sounded like it will fly out my room

[flat ingot]

It was in settings, i needed to get english, cuz had only native

[real lantern]

james

[random junco]

if they have boxes then its useful and handy, but not necessary at all

also if you dont have space in your room i wouldnt recommend it

[winged bluff]

oh okay thank you !

[flat ingot]

Im updating steam, and it went 72°C what is going on. I have 9600X

[true stirrup]

72°C is completely fine

Like sim said

[flat ingot]

But it was not doing much? Ppl say its thermal paste

[random junco]

whats ur fan speed

[true stirrup]

Thermal paste matters extremely little

[random junco]

on the cpu

[flat ingot]

Rn it went down to 46°C so 1430RPM

[true stirrup]

Your CPU will just boost to higher temperatures
That's how AM5 works

[random junco]

thats good then

[true stirrup]

It's completely normal

[flat ingot]

Okay, how do i see fps and temperature while playing

[random junco]

what gpu do u have

[flat ingot]

9060XT

16GB

[random junco]

go to the amd app and there should be an overlay setting somewhere

[flat ingot]

Okay

Thanks, ama see what temperature is when playing, if its gonna be high, idk

[random junco]

dont be surprised if it reaches like 80 or anything

[flat ingot]

I mean, updating steam went to 72°C so if it goes to 80°C i will be happy

[humble tree]

everytime i launch my pc this happens what can i do

[sinful cobalt]

idk maybe read

[humble tree]

yeah i do t know how fix smart detection

why do you think i’m asking ???

[sinful cobalt]

F1 and Del are like right there

[humble tree]

ye no shit

how do i stop it from happening

[grizzled frost]

run a smart test yourself on the drives, since it may indicate a drive failure or impending drive failure

[humble tree]

well i’m cooked my keyboards not working anymore for some reason

i’m pressing f1 and nothing happening

[random junco]

then press del

[humble tree]

i fixed it

i had to unplug and plug it back in for some reason

The impossible might happen

I might be able to purchase stuff internationally

B&H offers shipping to Lebanon at ONLY 17 dollars

[tidal geyser]

no import tax?

[kindred halo]

I don't think so

Okay calculated taxes, still cheaper by about 5 dollars than the cheapest local counterpart

And it's a much more reliable drive

UD90 1TB

Vs an Addlink S93

[tidal geyser]

i missed out on this 😭

[drowsy wind]

is a b550M-K and ryzen 7 5700G with 16gb ddr4 and 3600 Mhz good for a budget build

[solar moat]

nope

[drowsy wind]

why not

[solar moat]

where are you and buget?

[tidal geyser]

price

[drowsy wind]

in the uk

[solar moat]

got any parts now?

[drowsy wind]

ye

[solar moat]

what are they?

[drowsy wind]

im using a ryzen 5 2400g and 16gb ddr4 3000 mhz and a b450 ds3h very bad for sure

[solar moat]

wait why not just get new cpu and buget gpu over replace mobo/ram aswell

[tidal geyser]

so you wanted to go from a bad board to another bad board

[solar moat]

maybe a 3600/5600 for cpu?

[tidal geyser]

also ram

[solar moat]

+what ever gpu you can find

[drowsy wind]

wouldnt think be a decent price

[tidal geyser]

i cant understand this

[solar moat]

not worth

[drowsy wind]

damn

[solar moat]

how much is r5 3600 or better

[tidal geyser]

£160 too much

[solar moat]

$69 for 3600 new
5600 for 80 new and then look for gpu

a 3050 6GB is better then a 5700G igpu yes?

[tidal geyser]

5700G is about a 1030

[solar moat]

ok get a 5600+a gpu

its going to be faster and cheaper

rx 7600 maybe or 3050 6GB

maybe b580 but that will cost more

[tidal geyser]

used 3070

[jagged ermine]

What’s that

[tidal geyser]

[jagged ermine]

What’s my issue

[tidal geyser]

how can i know

its printed right on the motherboard what the issue is

[jagged ermine]

ohhh really

[tidal geyser]

it should look something like this

take out the gpu and try to turn the pc on

[jagged ermine]

ah ok I don’t have the pc rn

Ima get it tmrw in Asia it’s hard ssf

[jagged ermine]

and then what happens when I do it tmrw

if it turns on without the gpu

Cuz I did ts earlier already when I had it

And it turns on

[tidal geyser]

well ok i guess im color blind but it should be yellow if gpu considering the LED next to VGA there is well yellow

so rip cpu dead

am5 time

How do I do that

[tidal geyser]

you go into the bios and turn it off

[iron glen]

https://tenor.com/view/wesker-albert-albert-wesker-resident-evil-resident-evil-4-gif-5143688443782660001

[tidal geyser]

you go into the bios by turning on the pc and spamming alt+del

[knotty jasper]

You say lil kid but I’m older then you probably

[ebon marlin]

I would've just taken it back to the store and demand them to fix it

Since they caused the issue

[knotty jasper]

It won’t boot like nothing on the screen

[tidal geyser]

once you are in locate xmp/expo in the easy menue and then click the x or find a way to save and reboot

[cosmic lance]

[iron glen]

Sim do you think theres any recovering 90gb of missing memory?

[true stirrup]

IntelliJ 🙏

Probably cause it's midnight and the shop is closed?

[knotty jasper]

Yeah and I’m trying to fix it

[iron glen]

I messed up on installing arch really bad, the ssd works but its js smaller now

[ebon marlin]

Have the repair shop fix it since they caused it

[tidal geyser]

What

[knotty jasper]

It’s a 2 hour drive

[ebon marlin]

Pal really drove 2 hours just to get someone to clean their computer

[knotty jasper]

[iron glen]

Idk i have a 1tb drive and its showing 910gb

[knotty jasper]

Guess who while wanting to remove Linux and GRUB from my PC to stop dual-booting, has not only corrupted the Windows MBR, but also (still don't know how), my Windows Recovery Environment! 🥳

Now it's time to boot up from a Windows USB to try and restore the boot record

[balmy meteor]

how does one manage to do that

[late dirge]

typical Windows behavior really I'm not even surprised
But hey I can still boot windows, but I still want to restore the MBR to a default state to remove any trace of GRUB

I'll deal with the broken WinRE later

[iron glen]

If you want

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[winter swift]

Guys

[tidal geyser]

No

[winter swift]

do NOT buy the sony ult wear headphones

[tidal geyser]

Ok

[iron glen]

Noted

[bold laurel]

I was thinking about adding 2 of the 4 8tb in a nas and then add 4 2tb in the server

[winter swift]

Nah its bc of the hinge quality

[tidal geyser]

Why not 4/4?

[balmy meteor]

its sony what do you expect

[winter swift]

Hinges break on the same spot after certain use, most people reported the same issue and sony themselves extended the warranty to 2027 but trust me

[rigid fjord]

several smart people, but karens/kevins get treated as the fucking arseholes they are, and end up being defenestrated from the tallest building

[bold laurel]

Since nas uses less watt

[tidal geyser]

Ain't that how it is with most laptops?

[tidal geyser]

What?

[winter swift]

Not worth the hassle 🙏🙏

[rigid fjord]

that's grub for you, it modifies the bootloader not the partition type

[bold laurel]

What do you mean by 4/4 the nas will get 2 8tb drives and the server can get 2 8tb and 2 2 tb or 4 2tb

[tidal geyser]

XD I thought you mean laptops but yes it is still the same with headphones

[winter swift]

Not really, most laptop hinges have metal parts in them and in most cases you dont bend them like you do with headphones

[rigid fjord]

boot loader, not mbr, get the terms correctly

[tidal geyser]

I really hope people are not putting laptops on their head

[balmy meteor]

@bold laurel how old are the hdds

[winter swift]

Im switching back to Sennheiser lowkey

[tidal geyser]

Yes that is fine

[bold laurel]

Idk yet

[gilded harness]

just found out the reason why

13's wifi chip is absolute ass

it just burned itself

[rigid fjord]

oof

and it's a bitch to replace/repair

[gilded harness]

yeah 🥹

[strange atlas]

I have logged on to my friends windows account and my pc apparently did backup on the account now he can see all my credentials accounts etc how can i delete that

and also my onedrive account

[ebon marlin]

Soldering a laptop's keyboard

Yummy

[strange atlas]

Ohno how are they together at season 4

[ebon marlin]

Don't spoil

[strange atlas]

I'm at season 2 episode 2 or something and they are bout to ||break up cause he did something to his old husband||

i wonder what happened

[ebon marlin]

Ah

You'll see

Not gonna spoil

[strange atlas]

yes and thank you for that

[jaunty apex]

Wish this happened to my coolermaster mh670. Actual garbage the way they put the cup swivel together

Even an stl to make a replacement. I at least have a printer but theres another piece broken that doesnt have one https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5371553

[cosmic lance]

is it worth it to install linux and rice it?

[scarlet musk]

I need to know if a Dark Rock 5 will be sufficient for a 12600k

[ivory mountain]

This is cool ngl

[jaunty apex]

Always imo

[jaunty apex]

Eh

Personally prefer the player higher. Liquid ass cool tho

[thorn pewter]

do i see feet?

[thorn pewter]

if i were in middle school sure

[tidal geyser]

just get a id cooling a620 or thermalright phantom spirit 120se

[ebon marlin]

Keyboard has been successfully been soldered to the laptop

[tidal geyser]

you really replaced a soldered keyboard

i applaud the effort but like the top shell as a whole does not cost THAT much

had to spend 60$ on getting a new top case due to one key being gone

look at the amount of solder points on the keyboard

also got to change it from ukranian to US at least

[long quest]

Me and my friend made necklaces out of old pentiums

[tidal geyser]

a fuck it to make the laptop more cost effective i refunded the keyboard

100$ on the 1650 and 4 core zen 2 cpu broken key on the keyboard and broken screen, new screen was 80 so 180$ to get it working well and 40 more for a new battery, so 240$ for a 1650 laptop then like 20 for more ram, if i want to make any profit i need to list a 1650 laptop for like 400$ in 2025

and that is with a broken key

[lyric horizon]

I’m setting up a fail over between two servers but my question is how bad is it to have npm and pi-hole on the same system with them in docker containers? Npm is only being used to relay internal traffic but using a domain instead of lan ip. Thinking of using bender instead and using pi-hole with a local only domain. im not looking for security flaws as much as im looking at compatibility problems.

[left dove]

tbh you might get a better answer in #tech-chat-2 or #networking

[lyric horizon]

ok thank you

[buoyant sedge]

Would anyone know what this noise is? It’s a very deep coil whine almost

[flat ingot]

When i test speed my internet, it says 40MBs, its downloading game at 5MBs?! Whats going on

Its gonna take 3 hours if it keeps like that

[tidal geyser]

your lying

[flat ingot]

No!

[tidal geyser]

internet is not in MB

its Mb

8 times the difference

soooo if you are getting 40MB and computers are what uses MB then what do you get

[flat ingot]

Okay, still why its so slow

[tidal geyser]

ok so you know math

if the computer is using MB that is as much as 8 bits but networking is just using well Mb as in just bits

[flat ingot]

It says MB/s

[tidal geyser]

and what did the internet speed test say

[strange atlas]

40/8

40 is mbit not mb

[tidal geyser]

i already said that

[strange atlas]

didnt see that my bad

[flat ingot]

So its that bad internet?

[tidal geyser]

no you just cant do math

[strange atlas]

its not the worse

[tidal geyser]

well ok yes it is bad internet but also you still cant do math

[strange atlas]

asjghsaljghlsghaskh

[flat ingot]

I can do math...but i had no idea it was diff

[flat ingot]

Game 77GB is gonna take 3 hours..not da best

[strange atlas]

i mean before using my current internet i was using 8 to 16 mbit internet

i have experienced the worse i think 3 hours isnt much

[flat ingot]

Is wifi better than using ethernet cable from same station?

[tidal geyser]

how

[flat ingot]

What how

[trim gyro]

usually no

[rigid fjord]

no

[flat ingot]

Okay. Ill have to wait to play

[rigid fjord]

from regular enough testing

[tidal geyser]

unless they are using cat 5 then i dono

[flat ingot]

What is cat 5

[trim gyro]

five kitties

[tidal geyser]

networking cable standard

well CATegory

cat 5 was if unlucky max 100Mb while 5e is 1gig for long and up to 10gig short

[flat ingot]

Well, i use this for only PC

[tidal geyser]

you do not have cabled internet

cell service based networking makes me cry

[flat ingot]

Welp...no one has ethernet cable going somewhere near my house

[rigid fjord]

a cat with 5 tails

[flat ingot]

Thats called kitsune

[rigid fjord]

nope, a kitsune is a legendary fox with 9 tails

[flat ingot]

[rigid fjord]

if you're going to name a mythological creature, be correct with the naming

[left dove]

It wouldn't be ethernet, either it'd be coaxial or fiber to the house

[flat ingot]

Jeez

[flat ingot]

I see

[knotty iris]

The fifth cat

[flat ingot]

I have two only

Not close

[knotty iris]

Dam cat2 kinda slow 😔

[tidal geyser]

fiber is ethernet

[left dove]

Sim you know exactly what I'm talking about, don't "um ackshually" me

[tidal geyser]

get rekt

[left dove]

go roast outside with your servers or something idk /j

[tidal geyser]

also i know what you mean as i already said it

[knotty iris]

Fiber is the cable that sends the data but isn't ethernet on its own

[tidal geyser]

ok fine, fiber CAN BE ethernet

ethernet is mostly just IEEE 802.3

[dense oasis]

my whole linux installation with everything is exactly that size

[dense oasis]

sim

with all due respect

go touch some grass

[tidal geyser]

no u

[dense oasis]

...........

[knotty iris]

The difference of theoretical speeds on 802.11be is insane from ax

[tidal geyser]

i did not know they did this hardware combo

[tidal geyser]

now look at infiniband

[ebon marlin]

Samsung Tab S9 for 250€ brand new

Proshop my beloved

Getting it to replace my girlfriends iPad Pro 2018 model

[left valley]

Great combo for future upgrades

[cosmic lance]

im installing arch btw

[knotty iris]

Yeah but thats like enterprise grade 802.11be is for consumers

[left valley]

Welcome to the club

[tired bear]

infiniband is just low latency and only really needed for gpu clusters and hpc

[flat ingot]

I prob should not play anytbing while its downloading right?

[cosmic lance]

does the i5 12400f is in the lga 1700 socket?

[tidal geyser]

yus but 800Gb

[tidal geyser]

unless it downloads stuff its fine

[flat ingot]

Its downloading game

[tidal geyser]

also play offline games as online ones are gonna have higher ping than god

[ebon marlin]

Doesn't really make sense to upgrade from a 12400F if ur also planning on staying on LGA1700

[flat ingot]

O_o true

[tired bear]

you can get ethernet 800g too

[tidal geyser]

just get something qsfp28

[tired bear]

and infiniband is at 1.2T

[tidal geyser]

not that bad but 330 in Norway and i kinda just prefer my stuff being x86

[tidal geyser]

o sick

[ebon marlin]

x86 meaning what

[tidal geyser]

it can use windows

[gloomy sleet]

tf is that bruh

[knotty iris]

Its an architecture

[ebon marlin]

Also my girlfriend is an artist she draws on her tablet

[tidal geyser]

well ok ARM can use windows but badly

[tidal geyser]

i cant draw or write at all

ngl i am kinda considering it but like i cant do too much with it

[gloomy sleet]

"use" is generous

[ebon marlin]

I know but never bothered to figure what x86 means

I thought windows was x64

[tidal geyser]

windows is 64 bit

[gloomy sleet]

it was made by intel for the 8086 iirc

[tired bear]

i still have high performance arm vm (quad core ampere altra + 16gb ram) and it has been perfect

[tidal geyser]

amd made 64 bit

well x86

[tired bear]

x86-64
