[raw trout]

Ohh I have seen these in my school computer labs

[upper abyss]

sup,
as i see you are now a famous youtuber with 4 subscribers 😎
can i get an autograph

[random junco]

secondary school is the last requirement, after that kids are free to do whatever they want

[raw trout]

I was about to say that yeah

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[raw trout]

Most of the time that works

[random junco]

what devices are currently plugged in?

storage devices

[raw trout]

Did you update and then did it start?

[gloomy sleet]

after 16 do what you want except drink drive vote but atleast you can get taxed and join the military

[random junco]

you can vote at 16

[tired bear]

60% of the time, it works every time

[rigid fjord]

sup dude, and the fuck?

[gloomy sleet]

you can now?

[random junco]

hell yeah

[gloomy sleet]

dang

good they get taxed on work and can join the army if they can’t vote who can

[cunning mulch]

Nothing, my external hard drive is unplugged, my peripherals as well. It was reset, but I think my brother unplugged it before it was finished so now it's stuck in the boot cycle

[upper abyss]

hey what do you mean the fuck 😭
i saw you linked your yt to your discord, im your biggest fan now

[raw trout]

MY FUCKING WIFI SUCKS

[random junco]

check bios boot sequence

[raw trout]

My grandparents

[random junco]

use ethernet or pay money to a different provider

[raw trout]

It's so bad I can't even load this simple picture in seconds

[rigid fjord]

i've had that linked to my discord for like 4+ years

[cunning mulch]

I tried that but it won't let me into the BIOS, I even took the battery out for five mins and it still won't work

[upper abyss]

ohhh 😭

[raw trout]

It's my grandparents wifi

[cunning mulch]

I tried resetting the RAM as well

[random junco]

then tell them or just use your data

[left dove]

Now you get to feel how internet was in the early 00's!

[cunning mulch]

Reseating*

[raw trout]

Won't even let you into the bios??!??

[tired bear]

use ethernet cable

[cunning mulch]

I can record a video if you want

[knotty iris]

Battery? Is it a laptop

[random junco]

spam f1 f2 f4 f10 f11 and f12 and del at the same time

[cunning mulch]

It's an all in one PC, and I took the battery out of the BIOS

[random junco]

...put it back in

[left dove]

oh you mean the cmos battery

[raw trout]

Did you try turning it off and on five times while it was bootlooping to enter recovery mode then insert a windows recovery media and boot to that using the recover menu and the recovery windows/ recover data like that

[cunning mulch]

Yes that

[gloomy sleet]

i have had worse internet issues in 2025 then in the 2000s tbf

[tired bear]

was it still plugged in when you took out the cmos battery?

[left dove]

because you pay for dialup

[raw trout]

You mean took the CMOS battery out of the motherboard

[random junco]

actually i set up a few intel nucs today that i had laying around and had boot errors for cmos battery but still worked fine

[knotty iris]

Check the power cable

[raw trout]

Good luck replacing th le batts

[rigid fjord]

@tired bear this is how the uk is broken down for education vs america

[raw trout]

My man this is not a hinge failure that will whine for every small reason

[random junco]

nah it works fine icba to replace.
besides ive got hundreds of every battery type

[tired bear]

yes i saw

[raw trout]

Oh so you store your batteries in bulk like linus

[random junco]

i just got lots laying around ig

[knotty iris]

If the power cable is to weak it will turn on when it gets power and shut off on laptops

[latent gull]

Or get a better router

[knotty iris]

But he said its an aio so my statement doesn't matter

[cunning mulch]

Got in

[random junco]

i had a 75w charger come from aliexpress today. plugged it into a nuc and a bunch of smoke started rising but then i realised it was just dust escaping lol

scared me for a few seconds

[raw trout]

Can I use a hp laptop charger on my macbook? Can't find any gan chargers that will stay cool but be cost efficient and lenovo chargers are not cool so I'm going with hp for my macbook pro early 2015 . Will it work?

[random junco]

go to boot

[raw trout]

LOL

[raw trout]

He can't enter bios.

[knotty iris]

I doubt it apple likes proprietary chargers

[random junco]

hes in

u cant see the pic lol

[cunning mulch]

At boot

[raw trout]

I have a magsafe 2 to usb c adapter

[random junco]

find boot sequence

[random junco]

if size, hole, pins, wattage is same then its fine

imo

[hearty shale]

Guys this will be my first pc. Any toughts?

[tired bear]

hp makes type c chargers, i have one in my bag

[raw trout]

65 watts as advised by the adapter manufacturer

[random junco]

put usb flash drive/usb hard disk at first

[raw trout]

Im getting the fancy one that looks like the dell charger but It has a fancy multicolor braided cable

[random junco]

if its more by a tiny bit its fine

[hearty shale]

Also im buying that monitor arm

[random junco]

ive got a 75w cable on a 65w nuc

[tired bear]

yea i got this one

[raw trout]

The belkin i have is slightly bigger than the apple 25 w one but it heats too much so when I'm back from travelling im returning ot and getting this

[random junco]

do u NEED 2tb?

storage saves money

[tired bear]

you should get GaN charger

[cunning mulch]

Ok what next

[raw trout]

In india too much heat and costly

[random junco]

now try booting again

[hexed tapir]

Oh the Micky mouse plug

[raw trout]

I have one but it heats up like a passively cooled cpu

[ocean axle]

C5

[random junco]

im about to order bulk clover cables

[hexed tapir]

No no it's Micky mouse

[random junco]

clover c5

[tired bear]

i hate this plug so much, especially on network equipment that i want to connect to pdu (like cisco c9800 wireless controllers)

[hearty shale]

Imo yes. Ill download some large games (for example: Valorant, Genshin impact, Doom, Resident evil games and some smaller games). Also i will be coding and making 3d models so i need to have alot of space

[cunning mulch]

It didn't work

[raw trout]

4 microsoft flight simulator?

[ocean axle]

IEC 60320 C5

[hearty shale]

Wym?

[ocean axle]

And yes there is a c4 connector in the spec

[raw trout]

Microsoft flight simulator has a lot of gbs

[raw trout]

Hp makes bad laptops but badass chargers

[tired bear]

new one just streams its assets live

[random junco]

hp laptops are good what u on about

[ocean axle]

No the fuck they are not

[raw trout]

The ones we use for home.

[random junco]

yes they ARE

[hearty shale]

Yeah. But like i said i NEED to have alot of storage. Also my parents are paying like 400 of that so its not an issue

[raw trout]

We call them the hinge failure family of laptops

[knotty iris]

Ehh they are okay

[ocean axle]

Hinge Problem*

[random junco]

ive had lots of old hp laptops from a few years ago. maybe theyve degraded, but from basck then they will have a place in my heart

[raw trout]

Oh yeah I forgot

[raw trout]

Same. Even since the printed plastic came in it's all problems

[sharp ivy]

The hinges on my hp didn't fail cause the screen broke off of the bezel so there was less weight on the hinges

still worked good though

[raw trout]

Good idea

[random junco]

only thing i dislike of HP is ink prices but thats all printer brands

[raw trout]

Strip the laptop lid so hinge won't break

[raw trout]

Get a ink tank buddy

[sharp ivy]

I have an ET2850

And I like it less than my officejet

[random junco]

i only use my printer for printing shipping labels for orders

[raw trout]

The extra 10,000 rupees will be worth it as you will be paying way more in the long run

[sharp ivy]

ink is a lot cheaper but the print quality for photos isn't very good

[raw trout]

GET A THERMAL PRINTER

[tired bear]

i hate all ink printers

[raw trout]

Oh a laser guy

[knotty iris]

Just use a laserjet printer

[tired bear]

insane amount of BPA there

[raw trout]

Put it in plastic

[carmine yew]

just don't lick the labels

[tired bear]

it can be absorbed through skin

[random junco]

got my printer for free, cant be asked to get another one.

[knotty iris]

Fair ig

[fervent cedar]

guys, i think my wifi is cooked. any ideas on what to do

[raw trout]

And who is these packeges for? Almond mom's? Hey, the inventor of kfc lived a long life and in his young years he probably touched a lot of reciepts

[random junco]

time for new internet plan

[raw trout]

New plan

[knotty iris]

Go ethernet

[fervent cedar]

im on the best one for my house

[fervent cedar]

i am

[random junco]

nah ur cooked

[knotty iris]

5mbps with ethernet is garbage jesus

[raw trout]

New router

[random junco]

imagine non ethernet

[raw trout]

Or mesh system

[knotty iris]

Probably a router problem then

[rigid fjord]

after looking at the youtube dashboard, i have no clue as to who the other 3 are, their subscriptions are not being publicly shown

[random junco]

or shit ethernet cable

[raw trout]

He should get a mesh system

[upper abyss]

oh lol

[raw trout]

I have 30 subs. Want a shout out?

[fervent cedar]

so basically im screwed?

[rigid fjord]

nope

[random junco]

no buy a new router

[upper abyss]

amateur, i have 1 sub

[random junco]

i had 10.7k before i deleted

[raw trout]

Yeah. Spend 19,000 rupees ona mesh system

[knotty iris]

2.4ghz is probably good enough

[fervent cedar]

i cant. i can only get bt at my house and we are on the best plan

[clear canyon]

oh my goh

[raw trout]

Im telling you he needs a mesh system cuz of the 5g.

[knotty iris]

What does that include

[fervent cedar]

wym by mesh system

[random junco]

buy mesh

[knotty iris]

Not how it works

[fervent cedar]

wym

[rigid fjord]

my youtube generally is for whatever i've subscribed to, and the amount of playlists i have on it primarily, with only a few random vids i have up on it

[knotty iris]

How many mbps are you supposed to be getting

[raw trout]

ok so then buy a router. Plug it into the existing using ethernet. Then use that as your main wifi and see if it improves

[fervent cedar]

around 25 whioch is still bad

[azure topaz]

he doesnt need mesh for 5ghz wifi, unless you meant like, cellular

[clear canyon]

25mb/s 😭

[knotty iris]

Bro what 😭

[clear canyon]

dudes getting a bit more than 3MB/s

[raw trout]

He needs a new service provider

Asap

[rigid fjord]

so 2MB/s speed then

[raw trout]

New service provider

[fervent cedar]

yeah, ive been playing games on this. got to top 1% in rl and top 5% in val. now its gotten so bad cuz of ping diff and all

[clear canyon]

bit more than 3MB, 3x8 is 24

[fervent cedar]

i might just work for bt then install full fibre myself

[knotty iris]

Best in like 2010 Jesus

[random junco]

contact ur provider and tell them about ts

[tired bear]

could be wireless interference by a neighbour

[rigid fjord]

who's your current provider?

[fervent cedar]

bt

[raw trout]

Contact the provider and tell them to fuck off cuz 25mbps is ridiculous

[rigid fjord]

damn, i'm with sky and getting better than you on dsl

[tired bear]

1km of outdoor rated areal cable is 50$

[raw trout]

That too he is not getting what he paid form

[random junco]

business is business

there has to be something hes doing wrong

[fervent cedar]

uhhh... i might just go starlink at this point then

[raw trout]

Good idea

[fervent cedar]

thats the one we are on and look at the price we are paying a month for ts

[raw trout]

It's a very good kdea

[knotty iris]

They are not charging 80 for 30mbps whay

[raw trout]

Get starlink

[fervent cedar]

yeah thats what im saying

[clear canyon]

thats so ass

[knotty iris]

That's fucking wild

[raw trout]

Your going to get like 200 mbps

[random junco]

what part of the UK are you in? im getting 1gbps for literally less than half of that money

[raw trout]

Big upgrade

[tired bear]

ah a 4g system
this will highly depend on local congestion

[random junco]

we pay £30 for 1gbps

[rigid fjord]

and i pay £30 a month for my 60/10

[fervent cedar]

im just worried about the ping when it switches satelights

[raw trout]

No its skill issues on the providers end. Get better infrastructure

[raw trout]

Isn't there a way to reduce that?

[random junco]

i pay same for 1gbps 🥀

[tired bear]

all wireless is suceptable to congestion and interferance

[fervent cedar]

we are hard wired though which is what i dont understand

[raw trout]

Oh yeah that FCC guidelines

[knotty iris]

24 month contract 💔

[rigid fjord]

have more satellites realistically

[raw trout]

Big brain

[raw trout]

2 sats, diffrent ends of house. Two ethernet cables, plug both in. Then make ethernet switch and viola!

[fervent cedar]

i could go onto vodaphone. im thinking that the rest of my family keep bt then i pay for vodaphone myself and they install a second wire through my house just for vodaphone which would be me just using it

[raw trout]

I meant bridge

[rigid fjord]

4g routers aren't great in the uk tbh

[random junco]

i hate vodafone

[raw trout]

Wait which country?

[fervent cedar]

uk, cornwall

[raw trout]

Huh, I never knew

Vodafone is in uk

[tired bear]

lower ping requires physically being closer or they can do satelite to satelite link to compensate as speed of light in fiber is half what speed of light in a vaccum is

[rigid fjord]

look up better isp's dude

[random junco]

has been for a long time

[fervent cedar]

its not that, its that i CANT get better wifi

[raw trout]

Anyways he is going to wait a eternity for his satalite to arrive

[knotty iris]

Way better for your money

The difference in price os crazy

[rigid fjord]

yeah, though for starlink the amount of satellites already up in low orbit is actually decent for ping wise

[fervent cedar]

this is what i get with vodafone

[raw trout]

That looks like a mesh system thee

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/bender-hookers-blackjacks-futurama-gif-18364125

[raw trout]

We indians are going to get it also

[rigid fjord]

better wifi just means having a better router, which is a non-issue, you need a better isp instead

[raw trout]

India got acess to tesla cars, us got no access now

[rigid fjord]

aren't you already doing their "tech support" ?

[steel umbra]

lol

[fervent cedar]

its the fact we dont have fibre, we are still on copper

[rigid fjord]

did you not see my speed i get?

[random gyro]

i switched from a 85 Inch Mini LED to 77 Inch LG OLED C4. The Image is so satisfying. No dirty Screen effect, everything perfect, but i still have to get used to having a 8 Inch smaller Screen :D. Whats interesting. Though: looking at a 4k Image on this slightly smaller Screen looks kinda better than on 85 Inch when it comes to the sharpness and Details. Sitting around 2,5 to 3meters away. Is 85 Inch maybe too big for 4k? Would this be better for like 8k?

[fervent cedar]

are you on copper?

[rancid solstice]

Can’t wait lol

Got an ender 3 currently

[random junco]

9 million pledged

of 74k

what the bloody hell

[rancid solstice]

Their goal wasn’t that high

[tired bear]

sounds like they wanted a temporary loan

[rancid solstice]

That’s pretty much the point of a kickstarter

Won’t be paying till 30 September

[left dove]

I still have my gen1 ender 3 v2, I've just decided to keep spending money on it to continue upgrading it- I've found it's more fun that way

[rancid solstice]

And November is estimated delivery

Its price is solid for what u get

[scarlet glacier]

i have a ender 3 3v ke and it breakes soooo much

[left dove]

She's old but she's a workhorse

[rigid fjord]

[scarlet glacier]

now thats kinda sick

[left dove]

I'm gonna pick up a v2 x gantry plate so I can get some more modern hotend coolers

I also need to order the dual-z upgrade kit

[tired bear]

what breaks on it? i havent had any issues

[left dove]

I've also been seeing some nice linear rail options for x/y

[thorn pewter]

make me nub cat

[scarlet glacier]

the nosle mainly so many hard clogs

[tired bear]

this is due to your filament

[left dove]

clean your filament

[scarlet glacier]

nope

[left dove]

or run a hotter print temp

[tired bear]

yah

[rigid fjord]

have a look into some slider rails, they can make Y/Z axis movement smoother

[scarlet glacier]

brand new filiment dryed it and cloged on first frint

[scarlet glacier]

i have tryed it

[left dove]

yee I've already got some x/y linear rails in the cart

[tired bear]

its either bad quality filament or issues with your ptfe tube

i upgraded to bimetalic heat break straight away

[left dove]

I'm printing out a new blokhead hot end cooler so I can get bltouch integrated

[rigid fjord]

good for Z axis also tbf

[scarlet glacier]

crealaty filiment

[tired bear]

check your ptfe tube

[scarlet glacier]

i have

[left dove]

creality filament isn't the best tbh

[cunning mulch]

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who tried to help me. But I'm installing windows on a USB and going to boot from the USB

[rigid fjord]

Too bad, you havent made the daily quota for telling us about our sponsor

i also had a GoW red xbox one controller but it got really bad drift

[teal shadow]

can you use the skin in battle royale?

[abstract wigeon]

similar green to that one phone

[tidal geyser]

is that the laptop you plastic soldered the keyboard on

[azure topaz]

NO

[novel geyser]

i didnt know we were mixing pc hobby and algae growth hobby together

[abstract wigeon]

just started playing the last of us my life has genuinely been changed by an intro mission

[novel geyser]

i had the ps4 pro edition but i just couldnt continue playing it😔

[pine palm]

is it better to reinstall windows using Hard Drive ot using settings

[novel geyser]

if you have viruses or smt just do a fresh install

factory reset isnt that bad

[pine palm]

ok

also i want get a windopws key for my PC using the laptop that already has windows

how would i do that

[abstract wigeon]

fsr 4 looks GREAT btw

[novel geyser]

either give up privacy and bind it to your Microsoft acc or put that ssd into your pc

[novel geyser]

finally its not a pixel smear anymore

[pine palm]

so if i have bitlocker is it binded or not?

[abstract wigeon]

honestly cant tell difference from native

[terse pewter]

chat, aliexpress is filled with x99 mobo + xeon combos

im wondering what someone would use an x99 + E5 2680 V4 14core combo for?

just a general question, it costs only 50€

[tired bear]

well people use it as a regular pc

[tidal geyser]

9 year old cpu

[tired bear]

reduce reuse recycle

[tidal geyser]

that is the thing i do, just not really in cases where it uses like 4x the power for the same performance as a 9600X and such

or even better 14600k

[terse pewter]

find me a 9600x+mobo for 50€

[tidal geyser]

find me a powerbill that you do not have to pay

[terse pewter]

also im well aware of it's age, this is just a theoretical question

[tired bear]

yea not having proper sleep states sucks but it is what it is

[terse pewter]

unironically i dont pay for power right now

[tidal geyser]

unless you need A LOT of pcie or ram x99 is dead

[terse pewter]

so, still looking for people to bring up use cases for such a cheap platform with lots of cores

[tidal geyser]

i just did

also cores?

you do know what IPC is right

[tired bear]

i am looking at lga 3647 atm

[terse pewter]

buddy, im asking for use cases and you bring up something else

when i ask your name, you wont tell me you are 32 do you

[latent gull]

Not your buddy pal

[terse pewter]

you are my pal, bud

[tidal geyser]

again "unless you need A LOT of pcie or ram x99 is dead"

[latent gull]

And don’t call me Shirley

[tidal geyser]

how much clearer does it need to be

[tired bear]

neither of which is exposed by a cheapo aliexpress motherboard

[tidal geyser]

i have seen some with like 4 nvme slots and still a shit ton or x16 slots

[terse pewter]

not a good "use case" if you give a not-use case

[tired bear]

yes but those arent 50$

[tidal geyser]

the usecase is ram and pcie???

like hosting a shit ton of VMs

mining, ML and so on for pcie

[terse pewter]

THERE WE GO

[ivory mountain]

Bro just typing shit

[tidal geyser]

most VMs and game hosting would anyways rather want WAY WAY more single core over as many cores as you have

the reason 13th and 14th gen issues was so bad in some places is due to hosting centers using those chips due to the high IPC and clock speeds for single core but was the load that caused issues

[tired bear]

do you think most hosting companies use consumer cpus?

[obsidian urchin]

I mean what other cpus would they use if they wanted to prioritise single core?

[tired bear]

hetzner is known for this but in the industry it is rare af

[tidal geyser]

i meant a few

[terse pewter]

well, 13/14th gen were used to run MC servers, not sure on other ends

[tidal geyser]

and yea its really not common

i know runescape or something like it kinda game also used 13th/14th gen cpus

well yea, i just know that this cookie really really liked single core perf

[fierce forge]

Why was my EA app using 9gb's of ram with no games running (All ive been doing is using VS Code and Termius for my MC Server)

[tidal geyser]

its ea

[tired bear]

memory leak

[fierce forge]

is there anything i can do to stop it from happening again because it brings my computer to a stop almost

[tired bear]

make it not auto start

[fierce forge]

ok, thanks for the help

[tidal geyser]

uninstall it

[fierce forge]

I cant, I play F1 24 on gamepass

[tidal geyser]

live without it

[broken trellis]

Just prevent it from running until you need it

ea is so bad

they keep making the same god dam game every single year and add so much micro transactions, while also forcing you on their buggy laggy slow app

Is it still worth buying a tab s9

[plain cypress]

Depends how much

In general android tablets are pretty limited

Will mostly be media consumption

To confirm you mean the base tab s9

Not tab s9 fe

[mint umbra]

Yeah

[plain cypress]

It is OLED so media consumption will look great

[mint umbra]

For movies and comics

Uhhhh up to you if you think an android tablet is worth 700 maple buckaroos

[high halo]

i just opened up my laptop for the first time, do yall have any tips when wokring on laptops?

im tryna clean the internals and change the thermal paste

[tired bear]

make a carefull notes of screw positions

[high halo]

ok, also on the cpu heatsink thing its numbered from 1 to 4, what does that mean?

so remove the screws from 1 to 4?

[tired bear]

unscrew from 4 to 1 , tighten from 1 to 4

[high halo]

ah ok

do i do the traingle pattern or just unscrew each one completely?

[tired bear]

i set my screwdrive to oposite direction so i tighten screw to the ratcheting torque and then i tighten them compleatly

[high halo]

so i should unscrew each one sligthly, right?

until they are all unscrewed

[tired bear]

yes sure

[high halo]

ok

thanks

[high halo]

wait the gpu ones arent numbered

should i just do the same order for the cpu heatsink

[knotty iris]

Laptops use a billion different screw sizes so be careful

[high halo]

ok

[knotty iris]

Put screws in like a bag separated by size

[high halo]

ok thanks for the tips

[ebon marlin]

yeah I was bored so I decided to reassemble this laptop today and also solder it

[ebon marlin]

yes

Can you please speak coherently

[vapid onyx]

1440p do not work on expedition 33

I have a query. I want to get a VM with Windows 11 going. I can do the simple part and get it running. But I want to play games on it. What hardware should I use? How do I change the default FPS to at least 60? I've heard VMs can be good for gaming but I haven't really tried hard getting it working. I would like to try harder but I don't know where to start. Is there a website or forum I can go to learn about how to make a custom VM that runs close to native PC performance on Windows 11? Maybe at least some type of good performance? Thank you.

[sinful cobalt]

preferably you want triple digit FPS

[sand epoch]

anyone knows why this black blur thing is caused?

no upscaling and im using filmic smaa t2x

[thorny saddle]

they are approx 200mm

[rigid fjord]

wait til they see the bitfenix ones, and that 1 corsair fan

then a sudden industrial fan

[pine palm]

does reinstalling windows using USB override all the old windows data?

[trim gyro]

yes

[pine palm]

like literally 100 percent of it

[trim gyro]

yes

but you also have the option to repair windows files

[rigid fjord]

if it's done correctly it will do

[pine palm]

i want to reinstall

because i downloaded a programming software and when i tried to launch minecraft it wouldnt launch noirmally. I had to figure out some way to force minecraft to use windows CMD

[leaden grotto]

Thats a game??

[round echo]

hi guys

[leaden grotto]

I was about to ask u where's that place until I saw upscaling

[pine palm]

if i reinstall i wont have to go through that again right?

[swift kestrel]

My laptop realised maybe cooling itself with nothing happening wasn't necessary

[pine palm]

I mean it should be based on temps

if temps are low it wont boot the fan to save battery

[pine palm]

sounded like a jet running past

[grizzled frost]

maybe

[pine palm]

WHY MAYBE?

sorry about caps

[grizzled frost]

depends on the root cause

if you can bork your MC install once, you can always do it twice

[pine palm]

root cause was i installed programming software and it messed how CMD worked

but i was asking cause i dont remember how i did it

is there a way to wipe the OS off the drigve before i do windows

[stark kiln]

Guys should I get a 280$~ 2050 laptop with a i5-13th gen or a Desktop for 420$ with R5 3600 and gtx 1080 non ti

[stark kiln]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DrvxBq

[ivory mountain]

epic games launcher gotta have the worst download time estimation and speeds ever

[pine palm]

what will you use it for?

[stark kiln]

Mainly gaming maybe 3d modeling

[stark kiln]

Or I can get the pc

[pine palm]

PC is best for that

more upgradeability choises

but if you want something for work or school id suggest a laptop

[stark kiln]

I wanted to put in a 2080S but it'll be 200$ and my budget for PC is 420$. I mean its possible but idk if it's worth sacrificing just about every other component

[pine palm]

trust me a pc within 420 is good

i tried building one for 500 about 2-3 years ago but it was almost impossible

[cursive pendant]

When selling a pc should you just factory reset it and sell it while it’s on the setup page? Or setup a basic account with no log in/software or anything?”

[stark kiln]

I mean I suppose ill compromise some undemanding parts like cooler or get a cheaper NOT WORSE SSD

[pine palm]

WHAT cpu ARE YOU GETTING?

[radiant ether]

Is the Samsung Odyssey OLED G80SD is worth getting for $400?

[stark kiln]

Ryzen 5 3600 or Ryzen 5 5500

They're same price so idrc

[pine palm]

get the 5500

also try not to cheaop out on cooler

[stark kiln]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Hmg9Dj

Feels like 600w is overkill since this system will consume 400w imo

[pine palm]

one sec

[stark kiln]

Maybe I can get a slightly less wattage but way cheaper PSU from a reputable brand I suppose but I don't feel like it's good

[pine palm]

since you have a budget its fine

but id say try to get a good PSU so when you upgradfe you dont have to save for a new PSU

[stark kiln]

Yeah ofc

[pine palm]

Also

if you go AMD
go full AMD

[stark kiln]

For 200$ the 2080S is the best GPU for performance, closest to it is like the 6600

[pine palm]

THEN GET THE 6600

god damn caps

[stark kiln]

Looked like you got mad for a sec lol

[pine palm]

but yea. you get extra Memory if you get both AMD CPU and GPU

Chat what do I do

so you said you cant get 2060 cause of ur budget

[pine palm]

put you router in front of your cars tire and drive over it

if you can save up some money and get the 6700 xt

[vital gyro]

https://a16z.com/building-a16zs-personal-ai-workstation-with-four-nvidia-rtx-6000-pro-blackwell-max-q-gpus/, operable on a 120V 15A outlet, but you'd literally be 1.5W away from the max capacity at full load. (80+ Titanium is 91% efficient at full load, and (1650*0.09)+1650 = 1798.5 W, a standard 15 A circuit can only handle 1800W). That breaker's gonna trip if it the computer has a voltage spike at full load.

That's not even accounting for other devices being on the same 15 A circuit.

Even an iPhone charger on the same circuit would trip the breaker if that PC was at full load.

[sinful cobalt]

overclock the circuit

[vital gyro]

Also, any good electrician knows that running a circuit over 80% continuously is dangerous.

[granite dagger]

I5 14600k for $150 or a i7 14700k for 300 to pair with a 6900xt and 32gb of ram running at 3600mt

[hollow creek]

*probably electroboom

[hollow creek]

14600k definitely. x2 for about 5-10% isnt worth the money.

[granite dagger]

Note taken. And appreciate it

[hollow creek]

no problem

[solar moat]

memory 100% will matter more then 14600k vs 14700k gaming

[granite dagger]

Unfortunately I think my motherboard can only run ddr4

[solar moat]

and?

ddr4 is 100% fine

[granite dagger]

I thought it can only run at 3600 max though

[solar moat]

lies

[granite dagger]

Are there ram that runs higher?

[ivory mountain]

ong especially if u get that good ol bdie ram and oc it to 4000+ mhz with low timings

[granite dagger]

So I can push the 3600 max ones with OC

[solar moat]

🤦

[hollow creek]

technically it only does 3200mhz out of box, unless you do manual oc/tweak

ddr4 that is

[solar moat]

anything but jedec is a overclcok

[ivory mountain]

i got my t force rgb to 4000 and it wasnt even bdie

[granite dagger]

O

[solar moat]

welp just settings gear 1+ trrds 4 trrdl6 tfaw 16 can offen gain 20% or more

[hollow creek]

welp to be fair his questions were about two different cpu's

[ivory mountain]

petition to include ram temp sensors on teamgroup ddr5

[solar moat]

dose not realy matter

[ivory mountain]

my pc looks so janky

[solar moat]

its way betetr then my one

[solar moat]

not worth the price jump most of time and memeory matter more if gaming then the difrentce in those 2 cpus

[hollow creek]

about what i said lol

even with ddr5 both chips only differs so much

[granite dagger]

Understood

So 600k with OC ram

[solar moat]

what is "OC" ram

[granite dagger]

I thought you meant to overclock the ram?

[solar moat]

yes anyway #overclocking for help if you want to overclock your ram

dont buy new ram

[ivory mountain]

can confirm theyve been very helpful

Hey guys i have a question, im trying to fix a friend’s laptop and it says that the audio is working but nothing is coming out of the speakers. It works with the headphone jack just not with the speakers. Ive also updated/reinstalled the driver so idk what other things to try. Maybe the speakers of the laptop are dead? Thank you

[raw trout]

I had problems with my bluetooth until I got new windows on my laptop

Try using a windows to go usb or external harddrive with the drivers and check if the speaker works

Or else your speaker is toast but is the speaker even recognised?

fun little thing

[azure topaz]

or

[raw whale]

with daisy chained rgb fans are u able to customize rgb on each fan individually

[azure topaz]

yeah

[raw whale]

my fan rgb thing didnt go into fan argb but a led strip connector if i aint wrong

it also is detected as led strip

is that fine? cause it aint letting me customize rgb on each fan

may be an aura creator thing, ill try on signal rgb maybe

[azure topaz]

yeah idk i dont fw rgb very much its very easy on open rgb as long as its properly configured w/the led amount

[raw whale]

hm weird, it detects 3 fans, but only 1 "option" out of the 3 works, and it changes all of the fans

[tidal geyser]

Very clear

[raw whale]

what is not clear

[tidal geyser]

All of it

[tidal geyser]

Why are they not set as fans

[raw whale]

3, detected as "strips", 2 of them dont do anything, but 1 controls everything

[raw whale]

that idk

Show me the RGB connector

manual on the fan said to plug them into the strip

I sometimes get bsod error after install saying something like pnp_watchdog

[flat ingot]

How do i remove this + on middle of screen

[tidal geyser]

Turn on and off your monitor

[raw whale]

@tidal geyser if this is more help

[tidal geyser]

Well off and on

[tidal geyser]

That is argb, it will give you full control over the RGB

[raw whale]

r u able to tell if i plugged it in the wrong one?

[tidal geyser]

You can't plug it in wrong

[raw whale]

so why is it not working do yk

well its partially working

[tidal geyser]

You did something dumb

[raw whale]

that is?

[solar moat]

it a setting in some disaply/some gaming software

for pointer to allways be there

fun fact minecraft point is off center

[raw whale]

i plugged it into 11

[tidal geyser]

That is argb

[raw whale]

yes which is good isnt it

so what dumb thing did i do, is it you know its supposed to be working but it isnt so i did something dumb or yk what i did

[tidal geyser]

Has to be something in signal RGB

[raw whale]

i tried aura creator, wasnt working, then i figured to try signal rgb, same issue

[flat ingot]

Ill try

[raw whale]

if u go into ur monitor options youll probably find crosshair option somewhere

[calm idol]

Not much to do, just disable what you dont use. Dont delay security updates. Make sure drivers are updated atleast once in the beginning. Same with Bios.

After installing Programs, i like disabling every Program from starting automatically other than things like Sharex or VPN Service which are just Background Services which dont take up processing power unless used.

i dunno he is afraid of everything bro thougth that nvidia driver web "the old one" was a virus website 🙏

[ebon marlin]

His stupidity would've lead him to his smartest decision ever in his life

[ebon marlin]

Lmao

[sinful cobalt]

[vapid onyx]

when he told me he could do 240fps on cyberpunk ultra i smelled from 10 different countries that he was lying

[vapid onyx]

probably

[ebon marlin]

I'm currently on a 5800x3d + 6800xt and I can't even get 240 on 1440p ultra even with FSR + Framegen

[sinful cobalt]

when my friend said he could run 240 fps god of war ragnarok on his puny 4060 on 1080p high I was boutta kick his ass out of the room

[ebon marlin]

Averages around a smooth 150-160fps which is good enough for a game like cyberpunk

[ebon marlin]

I lowkey cannot differentiate FSR vs native ingame

[vapid onyx]

i got b580 and on ultra i was doing 60😭

[vapid onyx]

fr lol

[sinful cobalt]

lets get ur eyes checked

[ebon marlin]

I usually run native eitherway but I genuinely don't see a difference

[vapid onyx]

i do

[ebon marlin]

I don't play with a microscope analysing every single minor detail

I'm just playing and enjoying the game

[vapid onyx]

in 1080p u will se it less but when u jump to 4k u can't unsee it

[sinful cobalt]

FSR3 is shimmering gameplay

[ebon marlin]

FSR before on Cyberpunk was absolute dogshit since it wasn't properly done but with a recent Cyberpunk update FSR + Framegen looks beautiful

[ebon marlin]

Never noticed any

Too focused on the gameplay

[vapid onyx]

what about XeSS 2 ?

[ebon marlin]

Never bothered to use XeSS since it gives less performance than FSR

[ebon marlin]

I'm playing on a 1440p OLED display

[vapid onyx]

cool

i got 2 monitors 🥀

[ebon marlin]

I got 3 but I only use dual monitors

Got my old main monitor collecting dust atm

[vapid onyx]

i got a 1080p VA and a 4K HDR IPS

i use 2 cause the 4k has 60hz

[sinful cobalt]

i have 2 in use
1 portable lent
1 for my itx setup

[vapid onyx]

rich

[sinful cobalt]

its called employment

[ebon marlin]

I'm unemployed but make like a band easily in a month

[vapid onyx]

where i live average wage is 1.5k to 2k usd

and a 9060 xt costs 500usd

[ebon marlin]

I just buy broken phones and refurbish them since I've got access to a site where normal consumers don't

[ebon marlin]

I can get a 9070xt for 550€

[vapid onyx]

yeah i could it aint that hard

[vapid onyx]

🗿

[ebon marlin]

I've currently got a few devices waiting to be fixed up

iPhone 12 Pro Max, 2 iPhone 12's Z Flip 5

[vapid onyx]

at how much u got them?

[ebon marlin]

iPhone 12's 150 each, Pro Max for 190€ and Z Flip 5 for 100€

iPhone 12's need new screens and batteries, Pro Max needs a new battery and earpiece speaker and Flip 5 needs a new inner screen

Oh ye also got an Acer Nitro 5 laptop where I replaced it's keyboard

Acer Nitro 5 keyboard replacements are interesting they need to be soldered on to the laptop

[vapid onyx]

oh lol screens on aliexpress are very cheap

[ebon marlin]

I don't use that junk

Also need to do some soldering with the Pro Max to replace the earpiece speaker so I don't lose FaceID on them

[vapid onyx]

that's the hard part

[ebon marlin]

I buy all my parts from mobileparts.shop

[ebon marlin]

It's relatively easy

It's a quick fix

Recently fixed up couple S22 Ultra's, S23 Ultra which went to my girlfriend to replace her iPhone 11 then refurbed another 11 and an XR

[vapid onyx]

cool

seems fun

[ebon marlin]

It is

It's my passion and I watch some shows while I'm repairing

[valid fiber]

the only fix i ever did to my phone was replacing a battery and adding a headphone jack

[vapid onyx]

i knew when they charged me 110 euros for a broken screen it was wrong i see screen on amazon is 30 euros

[ebon marlin]

Adding a headphone jack? Huh?

[valid fiber]

yup

i wanted one

[ebon marlin]

Yea people charge alot for device repairs I try to make my repairs as affordable as possible

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/rigbycat-rigby-cat-shadow6736-iamrigbycat-funny-gif-2985618463653699699

[vapid onyx]

alr ill try to fix mine when it breaks cause i feel its too easy

[ebon marlin]

Wouldn't bluetooth headphones be more convenient

[vapid onyx]

i got a broken phone whit a broken screen whit important information that will be my first target

[valid fiber]

i don't like bluetooth

[ebon marlin]

As a minimum you'll need a heatgun and some isopropyl alcohol and a guitar pick for a screen repair

[vapid onyx]

i don't have heatgun so ill just use hairdrier as always

[ebon marlin]

[ebon marlin]

Hair dryer works as well

I like a heatgun more so I can control how much heat I'm outputting

So I don't damage the screem since hair dryers blow out very hot heat enough to damage an OLED display

[vapid onyx]

alr screen is alredy cooked so

it has 2 ligthsaber going from up to down and a big black screen in the corner upleft

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/rigbycat-rigby-cat-shadow6736-iamrigbycat-funny-gif-2985618463653699699

Yummy OLED rot

Eh it ain't oled rot just forgot the name of the black bubble thing OLED's have

Ig just a group of dead pixels

[plush wren]

[magic ivy]

[ebon marlin]

Do u know what discontinued means by chance

[magic ivy]

yea not produced anymore

[ebon marlin]

Yes

[magic ivy]

isnt that kind off bad

[ebon marlin]

Wdym?

they're just not being made anymore to prioritize newer chipset motherboards

[placid mirage]

Quick Question for those who know

For some ungodly reason any sort of AM4 X3D processors are insanely expensive where i live, Like 399 brand new 229 used for a 5700X3D,

However... im seeing 5950X's go for cheaper, like 182 around that ballpark, unused. I understand the X3D will be faster in games and stuff but how much would i be missing out on if i decide to buy a 5950X?

For those saying go AM5, no. Im stubborn. Also i see the 5950X outperforms or holds on par to the 7700x (My planned purchase if i did move to AM5, And also the price is on par to a 5950x where i am atleast, and i dont see the point just yet, maybe in about 2 years time maybe.)

[placid mirage]

Im sure they would keep releasing updates though, like i dont think they would drop support instantly

[ebon marlin]

AM4 is still getting updates

Production stopped but not support

[placid mirage]

Exactly, Hell ancient AM4 boards got discontinued ages ago and they still tried their hardest to add support for ryzen 5000 series (albeit by cutting out the older processors in the rom)

[ebon marlin]

My B550 board got a new bios update this year on march

[placid mirage]

I havent updated my bios since i got my mobo about a year ago, B550M Pro4 ASRock board, probably should but im not gonna until i buy a new processor

[zealous plover]

Is Amazon scamming me?

[placid mirage]

what the fuck

i dont know us economy but i do know 52 is high

[zealous plover]

Aud *

Not usd

[placid mirage]

oh that makes more sense

thats not too bad actually

[zealous plover]

But why does it includes shipping when it says shipping is included

Free*

[placid mirage]

yes your getting a good deal

hell it would be cheaper to buy it over there and ship it here wtf?

[ebon marlin]

That's a different ram stick

[zealous plover]

No

[placid mirage]

yes this one is worse

[zealous plover]

It’s the same specs

[placid mirage]

this is 2400 his is 3200 he is still getting a good deal

[ebon marlin]

2400mhz vs 3200mhz

[zealous plover]

Nevermind

But why does it charge shipping when it says shipping is free

[placid mirage]

it does not matter in the end this is slower speed and also 124 AUD. he is getting his at 52 AUD which is faster at a conversion of 25 GBP
