[azure topaz]

more cpu load

more ram load

[high halo]

But issue is an i7 7700 would cost me like 70 to 80$

[azure topaz]

yeah, dont buy one lol

[high halo]

Id rather buy a ryzen 5 3600 on aliexpress

[azure topaz]

what computer do you have

[high halo]

Dell optiplex

[azure topaz]

what one

[high halo]

3050

[azure topaz]

2 minutes

damn sadly uou cant use xeons

otherwise you coulda gotten a 7700 xeon for like 10 dolla

[high halo]

Ig my only real option is to endure the horrible fps

Or get a new pc

Not even lossless scaling will help

[high halo]

Or maybe just aye find a hack that lets kaby lake mobos to run 8th and 9th Gen intel

But I doubt those exist especially on a proprietary motherboard

[azure topaz]

they do exist idk on oem boards tho yeah

i had a z270 board modded w/8+9th gen support

coffeemod or something iirc

maybe coffeetime?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hghT2iOvWTU

[high halo]

But i think they only work on z series mobos tho

[azure topaz]

nope

it works on any normal board

[high halo]

So it mighr work on a B250

[azure topaz]

probably

theres ideal brandds for it tho i dont remember which one

[high halo]

Idk imo i dont think its worth it

[azure topaz]

its not, dont spend any money on hardware this old

[high halo]

Bc they cost as much as used aliexpress r5 3600s which defeats the whole point

[high halo]

Wait, will nvidia image scaling help?

Or is it the same situation as lossless scaling?

[empty quartz]

Guess what killed these 3 gtx 980’s

@azure topaz

[formal shore]

electricity

[empty quartz]

Bad resistor

[formal shore]

so bad electricity

[empty quartz]

Not even close

Bad electricity would’ve killed the entire pc and psu

[formal shore]

tomato tomahto

[empty quartz]

No

[formal shore]

potato pohtato

[formal shore]

guess what killed this

[pale flint]

f

[pale flint]

what what?

that cpu seems a lil off idk why

[formal shore]

cpu is fine

[pale flint]

whats the problem tho

[pale flint]

couldnt guess

[formal shore]

bad electricity

[pale flint]

ah

[azure topaz]

youre cpu boundd

[pale flint]

i was looking for something

[azure topaz]

so you fixed em?

[pale flint]

😭

[high halo]

So if its not gpu bottlenecked it won't work

[azure topaz]

yes

[pale flint]

i thought the damage was visible

[high halo]

Ill just have to endure it ig

[formal shore]

i mean technically to be specific a couple of capacitors have been bent or just completely gone but we don't talk about that

[pale flint]

umm wow

crazy fan

[pale flint]

hmmm

how did vad electricity bend capacitors

[formal shore]

technically i plugged it in and smelt it burning so the electricity had to have fried something

anyway

sodimm to sodiim

[azure topaz]

extendodimm

[formal shore]

longditoshortdimm

[pale flint]

amd it spins

[formal shore]

why would it not

[slow sable]

Finally got the A1 working on the jetson

[tidal geyser]

Spin?

[warm linden]

so my 7900xtx has drawn 550w, has anyone seen that before?

[pale flint]

exactly

[azure topaz]

yes

[hexed tapir]

seen people pull over 1kw

[azure topaz]

yea

[quick wedge]

Guys, so there’s a sale in the steelseries arctis nova pro for Xbox but my question is if it will work for pc

I know there is another one for ps5 and pc but it’s not on sale

[hollow creek]

[royal scaffold]

I have seen CPU stickers inside boxes. But do GPUs also come with one?

[swift moss]

[jagged perch]

I'm tempted to 3d print some fan ducts/shrouds to help maximize air flow efficiency in my case.

But it is literally not needed because the thing is perfectly cooled as is

[solar moat]

they using cnc milling to make them?

if yes thats very low price for that sort of part

[sinful cobalt]

but can it cut my fucked up life

no> fake advertising

[swift moss]

Might even be titanium

And CNC milled, dios lo sabe

[high halo]

I have a sudden urge, fo plug those wires straight into an outlet

10k rpm fan

[solar moat]

i not milled titanim my self

worse thing i have done inconal 618

[midnight gale]

hey guys. i have a one problem for years.
the sound from my computer is catched by microphone and its very frustrating. for example i am talking with someone on discord and if i will play some music on my pc too loud they will hear it too.
i have this problem for years -different headsets, different computed and I ALWAYS have this problem.
i tried some basic stuff to fix it like reinstalling devices etc but NOTHING help
is there any way to fix it? i want to play mage arena game where your microphone is on voice activation and you can't change it and because of that i am just annoying other people

[tidal geyser]

Why TF did you not buy the ultra

[waxen plaza]

[kindred halo]

Unfortunately my plan to get a PCIe x1 to NVMe adapter won't work

My PCIe x1 slot is covered by le GPU

[exotic cape]

SSD has arrived.

[viral matrix]

Niceeeee, what u using it for?

[exotic cape]

No idea, had an empty m.2 slot so I had to fill it

[viral matrix]

gaming?

like do u do stuff other than games?

[viral matrix]

cuz a 990 pro is overkill unless u do work

[exotic cape]

Probably install windows on it and make that the new os drive.

Already have 2x FURY Renegade 2tb

[viral matrix]

try dual boot linux (if u want)

[fickle ivy]

is there a way to create a new google account without a phone number?

trying to make a more proffessional email because my 2 current emails are my personal and my youtube

[viral matrix]

Yes, u either buy a phone number or there is sum specific way to do it ( i did it) but u gotta create in in a specific way

[viral matrix]

Why cant u do ur phone number? unless ur underage?

[fickle ivy]

underage and cannot legally purchase a sim card

[summer token]

Is a cpu with integrated graphics weaker then a standard one

In my case its a ryzen cpu

[tidal geyser]

ryzen 8000 is laptop cpus

[kindred halo]

Don't forget the APUs,,,,

[tidal geyser]

life is pain

[fickle ivy]

man why the fuck does google force you to use a phone number to verify your a human when making a gmail account

like i get it bot spam on yt and stuff but oml

[tidal geyser]

??????

[pale flint]

👌🎂

[pale flint]

i dont have to

its optional

where do you live

[viral matrix]

Theres a way to legally get around it, maybe try vpn

[pale flint]

phone number for email is crazy

[fickle ivy]

ikr

[pale flint]

what if i have 1 phone number

[fickle ivy]

and you cant use the same number for multiple emails

so if you want to have multiple emails you gotta have multiple phone numbers

[pale flint]

and i dont want random sites that i log into for some temp work spamming in my email

like who thought of this idea

probably another way to sell more phone numbers

[fickle ivy]

any good free pc wide vpns?

[pale flint]

since you have to recharge to keep the number activated

[fickle ivy]

canada

[pale flint]

ah

f

i have like 4 different emails

all for different purposes

[fickle ivy]

i have my school email, personal, and youtube channel

and my school emails gonn abe gone soon

[pale flint]

fair enough

[fickle ivy]

so i need a professional email

[pale flint]

i have seperate email for games

[viral matrix]

Microsoft defender has 1 right?

[pale flint]

what?

idk try urban vpn if it works

[fickle ivy]

where do you live?

[pale flint]

europe

[fickle ivy]

cuz i can try to vpn to there

[pale flint]

specifically greece

[viral matrix]

TunnelBear Windscribe Proton VPN should be free to

[pale flint]

one heck of a name

how are vpn's free

they gotta be stealing your data

[fickle ivy]

nope

[pale flint]

thats england sir

england is no more part of europe

:D

idk try urban

turkey? or sum

[fickle ivy]

ill try greece

[pale flint]

sure

my experience with urban vpn is that its slow

[fickle ivy]

YES

[pale flint]

idk if it happens with every vpn since i havent tried paid one

[tidal geyser]

how are they able to keep running

[pale flint]

try dont dont have phone

[fickle ivy]

im gonna use another email first

[pale flint]

idk bro

probably stealing data or sum

[tidal geyser]

yup

well selling your data

[pale flint]

thats what they do with stolen data

aint no one securing your data in their servers

not like paid vpn's dont

everyone do

[tidal geyser]

its not really stolen, and like wtf is the point of HTTPS then, and no paid VPNs at least the good ones have something called audits

[pale flint]

hmmmmm

idk

[fickle ivy]

omfl clicked "Dont have a phone number" and it still wants me to verify with a phone number wtf

[pale flint]

👌🎂

"dont have a house? buy one"

[pale flint]

thats crazy

i can just make email without using phone number

[tidal geyser]

he has been ip ghost banned

[pale flint]

hmmm

[tidal geyser]

that was badly said

[pale flint]

eitherway i wouldnt have understood

[tidal geyser]

i think he has become hardware detected in such a way he will be unable to make a account without a phone number

[fickle ivy]

cant even use an online number

[pale flint]

once i was stuck

then after some day

i could make email again

i make multiple profiles on ms edge

[pale flint]

obviously

only way is someone making email for you

gl with that

[viral matrix]

I (might) be able to but does he need the school's email or is he making 1?

@fickle ivy

[fickle ivy]

im gonna try on my phone

[pale flint]

pro

professional email

[tidal geyser]

no shit

[fickle ivy]

So helpful

Like wtd

[tidal geyser]

why does it need to be gmail?

[fickle ivy]

Because that's what I know how to use

[pale flint]

microsoft

[fickle ivy]

And I don't want to have to have multiple apps as my storage is already full

[viral matrix]

Outlook is same thing but more data stealing

[pale flint]

hmm

[viral matrix]

Its on website too

[pale flint]

it steals more data than you have

[tidal geyser]

get a thing with more than 32GB of storage

also microsoft and google are not the only companies

[pale flint]

yahoo

[viral matrix]

Its like 50MB

[fickle ivy]

why is this servers solution alway spend mor emoney spend more money ts pmo icl

[pale flint]

bro

if you have to then you have to spend more money

[fickle ivy]

every time i ask a question here someone always says spend more money

[pale flint]

so

you have 32gb rom?

[fickle ivy]

ive gog 64gb on my phone

[pale flint]

thats not a lot i'd say

[tidal geyser]

what phone

also most stuff can just use your browser

and even then the mail app is like max 100MB

[fickle ivy]

galaxy s9

[pale flint]

s9

wow

[sinful cobalt]

can i add +1 and make it expl-

[viral matrix]

Bro

Most things cost money

[tidal geyser]

upgrades people upgrades

[fickle ivy]

doing it on my phone worked!

[viral matrix]

Nice.

[pale flint]

"spend more money"

[tidal geyser]

its like what 20$ for 128GB of storage

[fickle ivy]

it costs so much for a micro sd card and i dont have a spare one, the only one i have i use for my 3d printer

[viral matrix]

I found an $85 AUD 1TB NVMe

[tidal geyser]

where tf do you live where it costs so much

[viral matrix]

In USD its less

[valid fiber]

are there already phones with a microsd slot that supports SDUC (more than 2tb)?

[tidal geyser]

the point of SD cards is to be cheap as balls

and ofc small

[fickle ivy]

canada, i saw a 256gb one for $80 earlier

[tidal geyser]

you call 256GB for 80CAD a lot

[viral matrix]

5% GST 😭

Canada

[tidal geyser]

https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/kingston-sdcs2-canvas-select-plus-microsd-card-with-android-a1-performance-class-sdcs2-128gbsp/14452145?cmp=seo-14452145

"it costs so much for a micro sd card"

[pale flint]

you can go for 64gb if you want to

[tidal geyser]

you cant pay 18$

[pale flint]

doesnt seem like he wants to

maybe he cant

[viral matrix]

$ 22.8 AUD - and thats with tax, and his is like 17.85 canada which is 19.8 aud

Tbh its cheap

[viral matrix]

Tbf he is underage

But chores

[tidal geyser]

i understand being poor and frugal or both or non but like man is it cheap

[viral matrix]

He has a phone and pc

Id hope he can also afford food

[tidal geyser]

he is not old enough to get a new SIM card

[viral matrix]

@fickle ivy get ur parents to buy it and say its for school or sum

[grizzled frost]

could also get a job

[pale flint]

how'd you know

[viral matrix]

Underage, but chores

[grizzled frost]

you can get a job as a minor

[viral matrix]

He said it

[pale flint]

oh ok

well idk

[viral matrix]

Yeh but thats like 14

[tidal geyser]

he told us?

[grizzled frost]

is he under that?

[pale flint]

sorry i was not here

[viral matrix]

Idk?

[pale flint]

shouldnt be

[viral matrix]

Could also be lazy

[grizzled frost]

thats a whole other problem

[tidal geyser]

asus be doing good stuff

[random junco]

format fs=ntfs i forgot to add quick and now its taking like an hour 💔

[tidal geyser]

[random junco]

i started the format 17 minutes ago and its at 61%

[carmine pollen]

I saw these iPhone 17 pro cases in a random street side store here oin my trip to Mumbai

They have the center appl logo and the camer bar

They were putting them under the counter and I couldn't buy one obviously

[chrome ether]

its common to send dummy phones to case manufacturers to let them make cases before the actual product releases for stock to be available at release

[carmine pollen]

Oh yeah it was visible on the whole street

[chrome ether]

its really not anything new though

[carmine pollen]

Like I don't even work there

[carmine pollen]

True

It just completely confirms the leaks

[chrome ether]

well the announcements are in like under 2 weeks so theres a reason imo

[carmine pollen]

In 13 days 😊

I'm excited which is probably bad cuz imma be dissapointed

[carmine pollen]

Just thought it would be cool to share

Maybe these are color themed to match the ohones?

[unique olive]

Nah Apple really decided to become an Android phone smh

[carmine pollen]

True

Also I couldn't like see a camera control hole ??? Idk why

[carmine pollen]

There just copying like the realme gt neo 5 se

[carmine pollen]

The big bar is there for no reason except maybe a improved periscope

[unique olive]

Maybe it’s just the years of Samsung and Apple propaganda but I personally like the camera being up in the corner instead of a big ass visor

[carmine pollen]

Same

Or a huge circle in the middle like OPPO and vivo flagships

[carmine pollen]

This isn't bad, I just prefer the corner

[unique olive]

My finger will probably hit that when I hold the phone with one hand

[carmine pollen]

That happens on my Phone (3a)

[ornate blaze]

guys today my pc wasnt turning on, i had CPU and DRAM led error on the motherboard
i removed 3 out of the 4 ram modules and it booted fine, whats the chance of 3 modules instantly dying at the same time?

[carmine pollen]

Bro what did you just yoink them all our at the same time

[unique olive]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-michael-scott-steve-carell-anythings-possible-limitless-gif-16382417

wtf just happened

Did some just try to post 50 photos

Or did my screen bug tf out

[waxen plaza]

hes advertising a scazm

[unique olive]

Asshole

[carmine pollen]

Whaaa just happened

[carmine pollen]

If your talking about the case it does kind of look like a apple case rippff

[waxen plaza]

no no

[unique olive]

It fits the leaks I’ve seen

[waxen plaza]

this is what im talking abt

[carmine pollen]

Same

[waxen plaza]

gonna delete before admins think im tryna do the same thing

[carmine pollen]

Huh?

[unique olive]

That was a fake Elon?

Apparently would be funny if Elon got hacked on X though

[carmine pollen]

I just think it's a apple case scam cause they real expensive

[unique olive]

But so are Apple cases

[mint umbra]

Apple is good

[carmine pollen]

I mean it's a cheap scam beCAUSE the appl one is expensive

[carmine pollen]

Okay

[unique olive]

Apple is life

[tidal geyser]

apple is hella overpriced

[mint umbra]

So is Samsung

And Google ain't far behind either

You buy flagship phone you pay flagship prices

Zfold 7 is 2k lmao

[tidal geyser]

99.99% of people can easily manage with a like 300$ phone

its like all day battery life or maybe even 2 while also being 120hz oled with plenty of other stuff

[mint umbra]

Okay no one is forcing them to buy a flagship

[rigid fjord]

tbf, 99% of people can easily manage with a $100 equivalent phone

[unique olive]

Only people that do not understand the meaning of Apple think it’s overpriced you must leave all thought behind and only then will your truly see what Tim Apple has to offer you

[carmine pollen]

Especially cause Google sells them with their super slow tensor chips

[mint umbra]

Like every company has over priced flag ship devices

[rigid fjord]

the only meaning of apple is renovation of tech, it's only the last couple of years they've actually been innovative

[carmine pollen]

Dude I agree with apple in some flagship phones and completely with iPads, but not PC

[mint umbra]

Android tablets lol

[unique olive]

Y’all read into that way to much

[iron glen]

how can i fix stick drift on xbox controllers? do i have to replace the thing or can i js take it apart and dust it?

[gleaming rose]

all phones suck

[unique olive]

It was 100% a shit post

[gleaming rose]

I want a pocket laptop with a 5g modem

[iron glen]

idk they're pretty great for communicating with people

[random junco]

raspberry pi in a case with ips screen 🎉

overclock to 10ghz and boom super fast

[mint umbra]

5g is overrated

[random junco]

5g is 5g

[mint umbra]

I still got 3g

[unique olive]

5g is ass

[random junco]

nothing wrong with 5g

[craggy rivet]

Does anyone know the standard name for the ATX 4 pin connector?

[mint umbra]

It's speeds ain't much of different from 4g

[unique olive]

Besides all the 5g near me being slower than the lte

[random junco]

thats just a you problem then

[mint umbra]

I get slower speeds on 5g than 4g

[rose stream]

5G is LTE based...

[random junco]

isnt it the cpu

[unique olive]

Now it’s a you problem - it has been spoken

[mint umbra]

5g ain't it

[random junco]

5g is fine for what i need

[mint umbra]

Samsung robbing ppl selling 2k phone

[random junco]

for their high end latest ones, ofcourse its not exactly gonna be cheap

[mint umbra]

Didn't say it has to be cheap

[random junco]

but youre saying its a lot of money

[mint umbra]

But it's not worth 2k

It's overpriced

[random junco]

have you experienced it?

[mint umbra]

They price gouging

[craggy rivet]

yes, it's the CPU connector. but what is the standard called?

[mint umbra]

It has a couple of niche things which but in turn it has bad battery life and average camera for flag shit

Flag ship

[rigid fjord]

pretty much replace the analogue sticks with he sticks

[gleaming rose]

pis are honestly pretty big because of their IO, and their chips are kinda weak, or at least they were

nvm I lied holy shit

[random junco]

pis are SMALL

[gleaming rose]

beefy cpu

I would have to remove the IO

and solder wires to connect it elsewhere

[carmine pollen]

🥰

[tidal geyser]

piss

[tidal geyser]

EPS

or do you mean 12VO motherboard power

[ebon marlin]

Never seen this on a phone before

It's the OCA glue that holds the display and the glass together

[craggy rivet]

I think that's right

[craggy rivet]

The 4 pin one used for the CPU with 12V

[keen saddle]

so just got a oled monitor is there anything i need to know for setting it up

just clicked on pixel cleaning and the screen went black, thoughtd itd warn me before lol

nvm it literally says it takes 6 minutes next to the button

[iron glen]

Whats the difference

[solar moat]

XMP IS SHIT

[wheat loom]

anyway to disable ts

[fickle ivy]

Smartest Google AI response

[keen saddle]

is there any reason why overwatch is capped only getting to 66fps when i have the cap set at 240, even on low settings monitor.its is at 240 before i go on ow too

[solar moat]

did not mess with drivers/haev any sync enabled

[keen saddle]

all did was change the fps limit on nvidia and microsoft settings

[solar moat]

and why will that not affect game?

[keen saddle]

idk

its saying 240 then on the game its like 60 ish on all settings

[tidal geyser]

Plug into GPU

is ts tuff?

[cosmic lance]

yoo its the rx 580 company

[keen saddle]

other games are fine

[cosmic lance]

gpu issue my man

[keen saddle]

red dead 2 is fine

[cosmic lance]

what gpu you have if i may ask

[keen saddle]

4080

its a common issue with ow apparently

bunch of old reddit threads but havent found a solution

red deads running at like 130 native 4k max settings

[cosmic lance]

is the gpu plugged into the pcie slot?

[keen saddle]

yep

other games are fine

[nocturne frigate]

hmmm

[winged sky]

Eh?

[keen saddle]

also its stuck at 60 even in the menu so its 100% not the gpu

[tidal geyser]

Are you sure the game can even do over 60

[keen saddle]

brother its overwatch

[vale reef]

why's copilot built into notepad now

[gleaming rose]

the problem with this is that I can't get a suitable display

the ones that come with phones use proprietary interfaces

[ebon marlin]

Overwatch has an fps cap in the settings

You can change it there

Ah nvm you already have it set to 240 I just scrolled up

https://tenor.com/view/zachypooh-downy-gif-22372095

[robust vale]

blursed

[ebon marlin]

Make sure vsync is also turned off as that also messes with the frame cap

[rigid fjord]

with HE sticks it has a much harder chance of having stick drift, you'd want to calibrate the controller still after any stick swap

[stable silo]

Chat should i disable intel ME with a bios reprogrammer?

Guys quick question, when I replace all the ram on my motherboard, do I need to do anything or is it just plug & play?

[ebon marlin]

It's plug and play

But you do need to go into bios to enable XMP/EXPO

[pliant sluice]

Yes, make sure u plug it in the correct slot for dual channel tho

[left dove]

Do you mean 2005

[ebon marlin]

I know what I'm talking about

[left dove]

Uh huh

[dapper light]

What is the topology of wall ethernet sockets

We're going to install them. I'm assuming it's just star and have the entire thing go to a specific room.

[ocean axle]

i mean, yes, thats usually how its done

though you could use a couple rooms and have a trunk line between them

something something, starlan

[dapper light]

What is the latency impact of daisy chaining switches

[ebon marlin]

Anyone know how to get this back on the ifixit screwdriver lmao

[tidal geyser]

how did you do that

[tidal geyser]

like 0.1ms

[ocean axle]

fuckall, bandwidth is the larger thing

[tidal geyser]

you are not gonna notice it

[ocean axle]

oh, its less than that

[tidal geyser]

ik i was just going for the 5$ ali switch

[dapper light]

I'm the only one that utilizes any bandwidth locally (even then it's just in my room), and the internet is only 250Mbit
So I doubt I'd saturate it

[ebon marlin]

Watched a fairphone 6 video and it comes with an iFixit screwdriver that had a hidden compartment for a screw so I thought my screwdriver was also the same (it was not)

[tidal geyser]

wat

i swear that was just a generic plastic one

[ocean axle]

most switches are 1gbps now, so, unless you are doing a local thing (ie: transfer to/from a NAS) then it doesnt matter

[ebon marlin]

The person who I watched said it was an iFixit screwdriver and it looked exactly like it aswell

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFg92m5DiTo

[tidal geyser]

you sure they did not say knock off ifixt screw driver

[ocean axle]

ifixit has plastic ones

[ebon marlin]

says iFixit on it

[ocean axle]

and their cap does come off with a storage compartment inside there

[ebon marlin]

guh

[tidal geyser]

o wow i thought it was some generic one

[ebon marlin]

I have the fully metal one

[tidal geyser]

yea no that one does not

[ocean axle]

https://www.ifixit.com/products/ifixit-precision-bit-driver

[tidal geyser]

yea tis a real one

[ebon marlin]

ay caramba

apparently the only way to get it fixed is by contacting iFixit for a replacement

[tidal geyser]

xd

[ebon marlin]

I just hope I have their warranty works on my toolkit as I bought mine from a store

and not their website

I got the pro tech toolkit

was 60€ in store but 75€ in iFixit's online store

[tidal geyser]

das is how it worke

[last knot]

So I knew the 7900 xtx merc 310 was big, but I may have underestimated how huge it was

[dapper light]

The connection between my router and switch keep falling back to 100Mbit once in a while for some reason
works again after taking it out and putting it back in once or twice.
I'm assuming it's bad cable?

[tidal geyser]

new XTX in 2025?

[tidal geyser]

pretty much or switch

[dapper light]

Local connection through the switch still at Gbps and the router and moden still got Gbps too

it's a fancy gold plated cat 7 cable too...

[last knot]

Ye lol, was the cheapest 24GB card I could get new
Mostly gonna be running raster anyway

[tidal geyser]

the memory management on it is horrible

but meh enjoy it

I can't find the receipt bruh

[last knot]

Maybe, but shouldn't really matter most of the time with that amount

[forest osprey]

Guys how much can I overclock my already stock 14900KS @ 6.2 ghz?

[tidal geyser]

you want to OC a 14900KS?

also 6.2 at what single core

[ebon marlin]

shipping costs the same as the screwdriver itself

[tidal geyser]

xd

[ebon marlin]

I'm just gonna try to glue it back on

[tidal geyser]

i wonder if it would spin

[ebon marlin]

I'm gonna try double adhesive tape first

same tape that I used to use for mobile repairs

moved onto glues now which can give some water proofness/resistace

[last knot]

Win the silicon lottery and get a beefy cooler, then hope it lasts for more than 6 months

[pale flint]

you dont live in europe?

[forest osprey]

No the 6.2 is all core oc (kindly ping me when you reply)

[pale flint]

thats probably why

[tidal geyser]

finland is in europe

[ebon marlin]

I do but iFixit only provides free shipping to orders at 65€ or above

[pale flint]

bro

[forest osprey]

I have a cooler that keeps it under 86c with 253w limit... less than 10 days old chip and latest bios...

and a 5 year warranty too

intel apparently trusts it's new 14900ks with new bios

[tidal geyser]

intel stopped making it?

[tidal geyser]

ye no

[forest osprey]

Wait they did? Idk

[pale flint]

so expensive

[tidal geyser]

why would they still make it

[forest osprey]

They're still manufacturing it

[forest osprey]

It's not, 9950x3d costs 800 and this 14900k can give you similar multi core for 400 bucks

But not gaming

in gaming maybe 9950x3d is 15% faster but I dont find a reason for paying 200%

[tidal geyser]

the 9950X is like what 500-600

[thin relic]

i have a question i would i go about afk in a game like roblox for long times without checking and not getting my screen burnt

[forest osprey]

In india it's 800, if it's 500-600 then def worth over 14900k considering it's su!cidal ideations lmao

[tidal geyser]

do not use a OLED

[ebon marlin]

you can just turn ur monitor off

[thin relic]

i dont

[tidal geyser]

wtf why does it cost the same price as a X3D

[thin relic]

that crashes the game

freezing the game and causing it to stop

[tidal geyser]

then why the fuck are you worried about it

[ebon marlin]

how does that work?

[thin relic]

wdym

[ebon marlin]

turning monitor off not going to sleep mode

[thin relic]

you can only get screen burn on oled?

[tidal geyser]

I AM TYPING

[last knot]

If it's a 14900k, it's probably binned to the point that you won't get it much higher.
Also, if it's already at 86c at 250W, you should probably look into undervolting it to maintain better boost speeds

[ebon marlin]

I'm gonna try this as I do this always and never get kicked out in any of my games

[tidal geyser]

LCDs only burn in if you do stuff like 24/7 THE SAME IMAGE NO CHANGE EVER AND FOR YEARS and years and years and years without it changing

[pale flint]

was talking about ifixit delivery fee

[tidal geyser]

wat

[ebon marlin]

I just tried it and my game did not crash lol

[thin relic]

is there like a way to still play while my screen is off

[ebon marlin]

are you using an AIO or a laptop

[tidal geyser]

AIO?

[ebon marlin]

all in one

[thin relic]

i am using a pc

[tidal geyser]

no shit a laptop can be said is the same thing

[pale flint]

[tidal geyser]

LCDs do not really burn in

[pale flint]

oled burns right?

if the image is still

[last knot]

Not exactly, but yes

[tidal geyser]

LCDs too

[pale flint]

like aod

[ebon marlin]

yeah but there's technologies to help prevent that

[ebon marlin]

AOD is relatively safe

the pixels shift so they're never at the same spot and way lower brightness

[pale flint]

hmmm

[last knot]

Plasmas have literal burn-in, with OLEDs the sub-pixels basically get worn out

[pale flint]

tho i dont use it cuz my phone got shit battery

On a more serious note, if you just want to play games on the go, look into getting a steam deck

[thin relic]

does anyone know what happened to tinytask?

[pale flint]

oh yeah

[tidal geyser]

did anything happen to it?

[thin relic]

i cant find it anywhere

[ebon marlin]

@alpine heron I highly recommend checking out used laptops as I was able to get an Acer Swift 14 OLED for 330€ comes with an OLED panel and a 7840U which is the same chip that the Rog Ally uses

[thin relic]

it used to be on the microsoft store

[pale flint]

what is timytask

tinytask*

[ebon marlin]

with the 7840U/Z1E I was able to playthrough Resident Evil 4 Remake at high settings at 1080p60fps

[tidal geyser]

people use that?

[pale flint]

good value for 330

[thin relic]

sometimes it is useful

is this actually the tinytask website or is it a virus

[alpine heron]

Had one..gave it away as it was awful for me

Just really awful software experience

[ebon marlin]

What is pal yapping about

[tidal geyser]

wat

[thin relic]

is this safe? https://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/tinytask_portable

[alpine heron]

Just did not work for me. Is what it is. Won't touch one again as they aren't for me. End of story

[ebon marlin]

Steam Deck is peak

[alpine heron]

Will give that a look. Not really sure what the good bang for buck things are these days

For most people yes

[tidal geyser]

what did not work

[alpine heron]

For me steam deck was a steaming pile of poo

[tidal geyser]

but why

[alpine heron]

Control configuration was infuriating. Installing software (in big picture mode, not in desktop) managed to freeze and crash the device. Etc

[tidal geyser]

did you try to reinstall the OS?

[ebon marlin]

why are you installing stuff in the big picture mode

[tidal geyser]

that too

[ebon marlin]

you're supposed to install non-steam stuff through desktop mode

[alpine heron]

In the default mode

[forest osprey]

Ohh yeah, I was just wondering about its potential

[alpine heron]

I didn't install non steam stuff

Literally clicking install without even ever entering desktop / going outside the steamdeck sandbox crashed the device

[flat ingot]

What is going on? got kicked of game

[tidal geyser]

you crashed

[alpine heron]

Logged in, tried to install, crashed, had 2 of the same app on the screen both were broken and had to uninstall both

It was wild. Some true gremlins

[tidal geyser]

so you tried a OS reinstall?

[alpine heron]

No

[tidal geyser]

why not

[alpine heron]

If I have to do that I'm giving the thing away as its not worth my time

[waxen plaza]

delete system32 and reinstall

[ebon marlin]

my steam deck has been working flawlessly without any issues my worst experience I've had with software ever is the Rog ALly

[tidal geyser]

your time is worth like 400$ per 30min?

[ebon marlin]

Linux doesn't have system32

[flat ingot]

GPU at 51°C and not spining fans?

[alpine heron]

Above that for some tasks

[waxen plaza]

didnt know it was linux

[tidal geyser]

rm -rf

[alpine heron]

And for that task, yes

[ebon marlin]

I paid 250€ for my 1tb Steam Deck

brand new with 100% battery health

1tb SN770M yumyum

[inner veldt]

Why I’m seeing green line on the edge of video? Chrome, youtube

[tidal geyser]

what does that have to do with anything

[flat ingot]

Idk

[tidal geyser]

that is just how it works

[tidal geyser]

start the game again and enjoy

[inner veldt]

Is it normal?

[flat ingot]

ALR

[tidal geyser]

that is just how it works

if its just one video then WTF

[flat ingot]

But shouldnt GPU cool itself? Temp is raising and they not movin

[tidal geyser]

did you not say it was at 50c

[ebon marlin]

gpu fans don't come to life until they need to

51C is nothing

[flat ingot]

Now its 60°C

[ebon marlin]

still nothing

[flat ingot]

Alr

[tidal geyser]

yay

[flat ingot]

maybe bc gpu was 40% usage...

[tidal geyser]

no

why are you so locked onto gpu

[kindred halo]

I had mine spin for the duration of the GPU's on-time for like a day or two, fairly useless because, like you said, they only turn on when needed

The rotors running will only eat at its lifespan (and maybe introduce extra heat?)

[flat ingot]

idk...

[ocean axle]

ehh theres arguments both ways on that
the hardest part of a bearings life is initial spin up (when its lubricated the worst)

if its spends a lot of time off, like a lot of time off, then maybe

[gloomy sleet]

dang i suck at soldering

[tidal geyser]

dust

[ocean axle]

if its only off for a short duration, its probably technically worse for the fan's lifespan

[gloomy sleet]

or my irons tip idk but it wouldnt heat up solder directly at the tip only at the base of the solders tip

its like a cone and would only get hot enough to heat up solder at the base of it

[tidal geyser]

what cleaning routine do you use

[gloomy sleet]

sponge

[ocean axle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tidal geyser]

that is only for the solder?

[gloomy sleet]

i tried the brass and didnt do much

[tidal geyser]

how do you clean the carbon

[gloomy sleet]

wdym carbon

[tidal geyser]

you know the stuff on the tip that makes it black

[gloomy sleet]

i just brushed the tip on the wet sponge

[tidal geyser]

das is only for removing solder

[south arrow]

I just tin it again then clean it if needed

But sponge or brass whatevers clever as long as it works

[gloomy sleet]

what should i do

i dont think i have any tin for that

[tidal geyser]

i just have brass

works pretty well

[south arrow]

I only use my fluxbrass but have a sponge

[gloomy sleet]

the little brass shavings didnt really do anything?

nothing more then the sponge

[tidal geyser]

how did you use it

[south arrow]

I have like a small flux brass can that i just twist the tip into

Once the tip is heated (can also flux and tin if needed) then run it off

But if the sponge is working for ya, no hates

[tidal geyser]

clearly not

[south arrow]

Just solder btw tining is just putting some on the tip

[south arrow]

Hrmm have you tried a smaller head? Also flux the tip while heating up lil dip will do ya and if using one with a temp adjustment setting to appropriate heats is good (i always kinda run hot to make my life easy)

[astral oasis]

Uhm guys, the « hdd disk usage always at 100% » problem came back, what do i do?

[tidal geyser]

stop using a HDD

its 2025

[gloomy sleet]

you say this as if you dont

[south arrow]

A gen 3-4ssd is noiceee and fairly affordable these days. A hdd for video and images isnt bad or like Diablo 1 but otherwise a nvme would be best for an os

[tidal geyser]

HDDs are dead in the desktop pc

[south arrow]

Pshshhshs

Pshsh psh

[tidal geyser]

most of the consumer drives you can get are SMR

[south arrow]

I'm just teasing. I have alot of hdd but I run external and only as needed to backup data

Or for like mp4s lol things that are sub 150mps operating speeds

[tidal geyser]

if a HDD is at 100% all the time you are doing something very wrong

I should restore this

and it is a 1001 vita, fully capable of the mods

I keep backups if I ever lost all my data I'd probs perish

[balmy tapir]

bold i see. i like to live dangerously and don't backup. i also fortunately don't have any files that are toooo important

[south arrow]

Definitely worth it , aliexpress has adapters for storage and such if needed just be sure to format to fat32. Can't remember if I followed Blaine locklair for that one

[balmy tapir]

i should backup my music library though

[tranquil brook]

why its so hard to enter fastboot on android...

yesterday, my Mive Style Folder was arrived, but it was full of bloat, so i uninstalled all bloat in user level using usb debugging via the built in developer mode...
then, i learned that i can only remap buttons after unlocked the bootloader, but for that, i first need to enter fastboot.
but here is the problem: this phone utilize T9 hardware while runing android go. so the usual keybinding isn't worked.

i have an app on my laptop for this, but it turns out, i need driver updates for that.
and since i use Windows (Ghost Spectre) on my laptop, i now need to:

• redownload standard windows
• downlaod those god damn drivers
• unlock the bootloader
• rebind my controls
• and close back the bootloader for the banking apps to work
  also, reinstall ghost spectre edition on the laptop after all this...

why i don't use my pc for this instead ?
since the adb tool with GUI only works on windows.
and i'm not comfortable using my terminal apart from basic sudo pacman -S <package> commands...

... but the phone itself is pretty cool tho. it has a great potential.

[tranquil brook]

i like to have everything offline: anime series, music, films, game saves, etc
hence why i got a 20TB HDD in my desktop pc.

[south arrow]

Cause android things

[balmy tapir]

most movies or shows i've gone sailing for tend to be deleted after im done watching

[tranquil brook]

i used to to that on my laptop, but i'm glad i have space to do otherwise...
some day, i wanted to show my favorite anime to one of my friends, but the first series cannot be found anymore... luckily, i archived it beforehand.

[south arrow]

28 days later was like that for years

Till rauko and Peyton and one other I forget off the top gave me a link to stream it

And within like 2 weeks it got sold and put back online

[tranquil brook]

oh wow.
but i don't think it would happen with HUN SUB only, but not with the subless version...

since that's exactly what was my case

Sim, wdym F ? 🤔

[tidal geyser]

why not have a dedicated server that can run raid and zfs and watching the shows would not require your desktop being on

[tranquil brook]

building a nas was an idea that i considered once...
5 slot, filled with 20 TB cards would gaven me a petabyte of storage, which i consider a good amount for a home server...
but when i looked up how much it would cost, it was nearly the exact same price that i built my desktop pc.

and that is a bit... too much for a server.

but if i will have 3+ 20TB HDD's i might reconsider that idea. until then, i just gonna expand my main rig.

[tidal geyser]

you cant do math

1PB is 1000TB

also redundancy

at best with raidz1 it would be more like 80TB

also some 50$ used workstation with 2 24TB HDDs should not cost that much

[tranquil brook]

ah... right.
i forgot about redundancy...

also, i only planned with brand new hardware, thats why my cost estimate was that much

[robust trail]

1PB is too much monies.

[tidal geyser]

unless its for a business there is no point

[robust trail]

I stash all of video files I use for work stuff, I'm barely scratching the surface of these drives

[tidal geyser]

i am a custom NAS kinda enjoyer

[robust trail]

I like a custom NAS but I also enjoy less fuckery

I had a custom NAS but it was in a giant server chassis. This is little and fits in the network rack lol

[tidal geyser]

i do not have a rack so rack meant for stuff would be horrible

[grizzled frost]

IMO, it would look better with the patch panel between switches, then use shorter cables

Hey. Weird question. My task manager isnt detecting my gpu? At the same time my display is plugged into the gpu and i have a non integrated graphics cpu

[gleaming rose]

I need to sell my server

[gleaming rose]

its a dual Xeon from the Haswell era, 64 gigs of ddr4, and 10tb of storage, in a raid 60
I could probably use it as a backup server

[random gyro]

Let's say i use a LG C4 for around 14 hours a day. 10 hours with Pixel brightness at 0 and 4 hours at 100. Does having it at 0 significantly prevent burn in and Pixel degradation compared to having it at 100?

[bold laurel]

day 3 of using proxmox it still doesnt work

i cant ping the server from my pc or ping anything from the server

[tidal geyser]

Install drivers

[gleaming rose]

should I sell, or find a use for it

[unique olive]

How much did it cost to build this it looks sick

[tidal geyser]

Should not be more than 2-3k

[plain cypress]

10tb isn't very much

[dapper light]

pretty sure like 90% of PC owners have 1TB and under

[white sphinx]

You rite

Network controller being fucky though

[ebon marlin]

eh more like 256gb/512gb

ah didn't read the under

[dapper light]

Only 52% of gamers (steam hwsurvey) have 1 TB and Above (pretty sure most of these are are the 1TBs)

Plus, gamers are not the average

[plain cypress]

They said server...dual Xeon server

[dapper light]

10TB is still shit ton

[plain cypress]

For a desktop sure

[dapper light]

not to mention it's an old workstation

[plain cypress]

For a raid 60 server, not that much

[dapper light]

Even accounting only people who own their own NAS

Idk, the statement just seems super out of touch

[unique olive]

That’s like 3 games how do people play anything on that

[dapper light]

By not playing the shit games

all of the installed ones here sum to under 1TB

Alright hopefully one or some of you guys can help here. Im looking for a good quality 1080p gaming monitor.

Does steam do the thing where it won’t install high quality resources if you can’t play them

[ebon marlin]

very light for dcs world

[vital pumice]

Yeah I've got a 1440p which looks great visually, but my specs aren't enough to run it at its full potential so I get stuttering on some games etc. So im gonna sell and downgrade but I know nothing of 1080s. I'll keep a lookout for IPS and whatever refresh thanks

[dapper light]

i haven't touched DCS in a while

[grizzled frost]

keep the 1440p monitor and use DLSS upscaling

[dapper light]

pretty sure i have to relearn the hornet from scratch atp

[vital pumice]

I tried but DLSS makes it worse in most instances. Usually have to turn it off

At least from my experience

[unique olive]

What gpu

[vital pumice]

2070

[grizzled frost]

should be fine for 1440p med gameplay

[vital pumice]

I know it's old. But I cant exactly go out for a new one at the moment. And 1080 would give me best bang for my buck since playing most games on lower settings is meh

[sour storm]

Question are F and G models fmwith ryzen worse or?

Cant get a cöear answer ehat they are really

[vital pumice]

Yeah on most modern games im having to do med-low range. Id rather just go down to 1080 and be able to run on higher settings so my game doesn't look choppy

[grizzled frost]

F means no IGPU, G means it's designed with a better IGPU

[rigid fjord]

there's a reason why 20 series is known as turding

[sour storm]

Do i need integrated if i have a gpu?

[vital pumice]

Feels like a complete waste of 1440 if im running it on low visual quality lmao

[grizzled frost]

no

[sour storm]

So i could go with one of those?
A ryzen 5 8600F is a decebt amount cheaper than a ryzen 5 7600 or 7600x

[vocal plover]

so outta the MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK, MSI B550-A PRO ProSeries and MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus which one is the best?

[sour storm]

Cause like imma be fr i have never seen or heard someone use ff or G models

[grizzled frost]

do you mean the 8400F or the 8600G

[sour storm]

Yes. Saw those while browsing today and wondered if they are worth it

[grizzled frost]

8600F doesn't exist, so what CPU are you talking about

[sour storm]

Either one, i misremembered so i said 8600F. Are they worth it if they are like 60-80 eur cheaper than 7600

[grizzled frost]

8400f is slightly worse than the 8600G which is slightly worse than 7600

about 5-6% difference with each jump

[sour storm]

Huh

[tidal geyser]

Huh

You know what we really need Samsung to make reliable lower refresh rate oled panels. Why can’t we get 144hz to 240hz oled monitors at 1440p for $350-500 that last a little longer than the current ones do

[spring latch]

because samsung is a phone company, they are lacking at making monitors

[unique olive]

I want a oled monitor but I also don’t want to spend $700 on something that may get burn-in in a years time that has while paying for insane refresh rates I don’t need

[grizzled frost]

samsung is not a phone company

[unique olive]

They make almost all the panels you see in oled anything

[grizzled frost]

they are a company that makes phones, among so much else

apple phones use samsung panels for instance

their primary revenue stream is their panel production

[sour storm]

Samsung makes fucking everything, including artillery that has a range conveniently enogh to hit pyongyang from the border

I got fans

[grizzled frost]

SAMSUNG is one of those companies that clearly got bored and decided to produce everything

[sour storm]

Also a washing machine that makes a funny jingle

[grizzled frost]

including god awful fridges, damn you samsung fridges

[south arrow]

Facebook being ironic today frigging creepers, shows a dude tinning his tips

My gpu arrived last week or so

It seems to be fine it is under warranty

Gotmyself a pretty 7600xt

[rigid fjord]

for what gpu?

[limber nacelle]

s. korea actually stands for Samsung korea

while not true, it might as well be lol

[gloomy sleet]

samsung is like mitsubishi known for a couple things but makes basically everything

if you go to japan and just look at the AC units the electrical boxes etc etc it will all be mitsubishi

[carmine light]

This is quite thick, the first pic is even with the screen open

[hasty dock]

Hi guys. Put my first NAS together a few weeks ago. Running HexOS. I'm wanting to run some game servers on it (minecraft/sons of the forest/Wreckfest 2). Does anyone have a suggestion as to what flavor of Linux I should install on it to run these?

[steel umbra]

8600g* is worse than 7400f for many tasks and games

[rigid fjord]

nope, samsung is a family name, it's actually more well known and not for the few things most consumers know of them

[rigid fjord]

9600g doesn't exist afaik

[gloomy sleet]

i meant consumers

[random junco]

21 x 5090s for 5k after discounts

[lapis furnace]

2 questions:
are mechanical keyboards really better for gaming?
are mechanical kbs really better than membrane ones?

(the keyboard in question here is Lemokey X3 - which im contemplating to order)

[gloomy sleet]

most people just know them as phone and fridge makers

[gloomy sleet]

yes

just yes

source- i own 5 mechanical keyboards

[lapis furnace]

got it thanks (some people were tryna brainwash me to stick to membranes)

[gloomy sleet]

who???

[jaunty apex]

I like membrane on slim keys.

[lapis furnace]

not from here at least

[jaunty apex]

I havent had much mechanical experience though so

I just know the switches I like most rn are NX Snows

[lapis furnace]

imma order it today

[rigid fjord]

bet you didn't know they own a chain of hotels, restaurants, insurances, advertising agencies, ship builders and much more

[gloomy sleet]

i did

i doubt most people knew

[rigid fjord]

tv's, freezers and also washing machines/ tumble driers also

[gloomy sleet]

yeah

[rigid fjord]

response timing most mechanical keyboards are definitely better

[gloomy sleet]

also they dont feel like shit

[rigid fjord]

though tbf, keyboards are like cases, depends on what you like to use

[tribal wedge]

Yo i found a 4 pack of 250gb DDR5 ram total combined Ram 1tb DDR5 on Amazon 😆 🤣 is this fr

[rigid fjord]

meanwhile office keyboards for oem pc's work with out failure

[gloomy sleet]

membranes just feel horrible

[random junco]

yeah i got 2.5tb ddr5 in my workstation

[rigid fjord]

they exist, primarily for servers

[gloomy sleet]

a "great" membrane will feel worse then a "bad" mechanical switch excluding topre since that isnt membrane

[tribal wedge]

🫥 how it's so expensive the one I found is 11k

[tidal geyser]

1080 ti

[rigid fjord]

sweet

[tidal geyser]

Good thing I did not order fans today as I thought the pc would not arrive until tomorrow

[placid mirage]

damn THAT is a thick boy

[tidal geyser]

Seller said one fan does not spin

[waxen plaza]

would any1 recommend me an atx case thats got a decent amount of fans included for cheaper than the phantek pro ultra?

or am i looking for something that doesnt exist

[tidal geyser]

Ok yeah no, the fans were super clean but the connector is dusty so I think the seller shipped it after replacing the fans

[tidal geyser]

Not something good

Also like what it's a 80 case

[waxen plaza]

£100 = $120

[rigid fjord]

there is one, but it's more expensive a case, and going cheaper can sometimes mean some poor compromises in the likes of quality

[rigid fjord]

uk?

[waxen plaza]

yup

was just looking for something cheaper

[rigid fjord]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/zJWJ7P/ grab this version of it and just add in a set of p12 pwm pwst's

[tidal geyser]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/BXtLrH/phanteks-xt-pro-ultra-atx-mid-tower-case-ph-xt523p1-dbk01

[rigid fjord]

it's like £30 for a 5 pack of p12 pwm pst's

[tidal geyser]

It's £75 for 4 140mm argb pwm fans

And the case

[tidal geyser]

54+30 is more than 75 last time I checked

[rigid fjord]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/9nhv6h/ doesn't this look like a knock off 4000d AF ?

[tidal geyser]

Trash fans

Bought it once

[rigid fjord]

usually are with kolink

[tribal wedge]

Na i got a 550 ti and it it got here having booting issues adviantoly got a desplay out from it but the fan never terns on even under lode at 130f to 150f the fan still don't tern on it just crashes and transfers over to the cpu

[steel umbra]

I meant 8600g my bad

[rigid fjord]

what's that in real temps ?

[tidal geyser]

Who in their right mind would ever use f

Also 550 ti

[tribal wedge]

It's a old gpu

[tidal geyser]

Also its having booting issues since it's old as balls

I do not believe it has uefi drivers

[rigid fjord]

tbf, the only reason to go for an 8600g and 8700g is due to how good their igpu's are effectively, otherwise people shough go for a 7500f or better

[rigid fjord]

none, completely EoL as nvidia is concerned with it afaik

[tribal wedge]

This is the gpu

[tidal geyser]

And?

[steel umbra]

Btw the 8600g's igpu isn't as good as on the 8700g

[tidal geyser]

It's not even a EVGA one

[rigid fjord]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/fHXJ7P/ comes with 3 fans, but personally i'd swap them out, but is actually a decent case to also use as an alternative

[tribal wedge]

Ya ik all the money went into the cpu ram and nvme

[tidal geyser]

Wat

So much you can't afford a 30$ 1060?

[rigid fjord]

i know dude, it's the difference of a gtx 1630 vs gtx 1650 gpu wise

[tribal wedge]

A 1060 is 30$

[tidal geyser]

Yeah?

[rigid fjord]

or a $40-50 rx 580 @tribal wedge

[tidal geyser]

Mate it's losing driver support this year

Well active driver support just like the rx 580

[carmine light]

You should see it with the lid closed

[tidal geyser]

Or is Nvidia just fully drop out

[tribal wedge]

A 1060 gpu is $150 -_- not 30

[rigid fjord]

the difference is that an rx580 can be used still via nimez drivers if you wanted

[tidal geyser]

What crack are you snorting

[jaunty apex]

On scamazon?

[rigid fjord]

someone smoking dope for that price

[tidal geyser]

15$ in Norway used

[ebon marlin]

150 is how much used rtx 3060's go for

[tidal geyser]

What the fuck are you doing

[ebon marlin]

why the fuck are you on amazon searching for a 10yr old gpu

[tidal geyser]

You can't be this dense

Nobody is dumb enough to buy 15-10 year old used GPUs that have gotten a new cooler for 20x what they sell for used

This has to be a bot

[daring crystal]

https://www.youtube.com/live/nfBbmtMJhX0?si=2tZEsDjIdC54L388

I need 🤤🤤🤤

[tribal wedge]

Then we're do i get 1 brand new for just 30$

[tidal geyser]

10 year old GPU | new

[tribal wedge]

Like not used

[tidal geyser]

The fucking 550 ti is a GPU from ducking 2011

It's using PCIe 2.0

[rigid fjord]

you won't get any new gpu for $30, only secondhand ones

[tidal geyser]

It has not been made for at least like 13 years

[vapid onyx]

😭 i helped a friend to reinstall windows but then i tried some furmark and gpu hotspot reached 100c(3070 ti FE) btw memory was at 90c i maxed out the fans it reached 90 hotspot and 80-85 gpu but they are so loud

[tidal geyser]

550 ti

[tribal wedge]

That's why I'm not seeing any for 30$ then

[tidal geyser]

Buy fucking used you imbecile, you have such a small budget but can't accept talking to people

Me buying such cheap shit used with next to no issues this is just wow

8600k, 32GB ram and a 1080 ti for 250$
