[rigid fjord]

you do realise louis likes to say a little about the issue in the first 10 mins then after that just rants along right?

[hybrid river]

Which phone is it

[jaunty apex]

That one ^^

[hybrid river]

Didn't he make valid points

Like linus really didn't take accountability

He was deflecting

[gloomy sleet]

i don’t want to watch a feature length straight up movie on some tech guy

[rigid fjord]

only in the first 10 mins, after that it's just pure random ranting

[hexed tapir]

Isn't it sub 480p

[jaunty apex]

I thought they were valid. He does rant a lot but it still feels like he says more than Charlie does half the time

[rigid fjord]

reasons why you don't learn shit about tech

[hybrid river]

Well, im on rossman's side. Especially on the whole consumer rights thing. Right to repair, and the whole"you own nothing" thing im against

[gloomy sleet]

it isn’t even about tech

[hexed tapir]

854 x 480 nvm

[valid fiber]

projector resolution is 854x480

[gloomy sleet]

it’s about some guy who happens to waffle about computers sometimes

[valid fiber]

but it's fine on the go

[rigid fjord]

he covered each of those in the first 10 mins of each vid he did on them, the proceeded to rant, twice over when it came to the right to repair

[jaunty apex]

NGL I haven't cared much about LTT videos other than the framework mini laptop and techlinked for a while

[hexed tapir]

So is the content quality

[hybrid river]

I see, well at least we have someone with a big following talking about those things

[gloomy sleet]

i haven’t watched a ltt vidoe in like 2 years

[hybrid river]

Dam

[gloomy sleet]

i watched his tofu60 guide and was like “nah”

[rigid fjord]

did you see his vid on evga psu's ?

[hybrid river]

Nah why?

[rigid fjord]

10-15 mins of it covered an issue that if you rma'd certain models, the one that you get back will be the same model and version but the pinout will differ, and evga's own website tells you to keep the cables from the one you sent off

resulted in many hdd's for people who used them in making their own servers/nas's dying

[hybrid river]

Damn thats dangerous

[jaunty apex]

The lack of accountability regarding the honey situation, I know Anker violated privacy and all but they knew Honey was doing some shady shit and left them for it, they could've made it more well known

[gloomy sleet]

i don’t trust any sponsor tbf

[jaunty apex]

And the whole GN situation is wack

[hybrid river]

Noo not anker. I love anker chargers

[gloomy sleet]

i don’t think i’ve ever bothered to look into something via a sponsor

[jaunty apex]

They made a video about them talking about why they dropped them and switched to ugreen

[rigid fjord]

reasons why if you plan on using certain psu's for making a server/nas your wisest bet is to use corsair psu's in the process

[hybrid river]

Evga as a psu company should tell the customers if they are sending a psu back with different pinouts

Seasonic would never, they still email me on the same thread from 2023

[hexed tapir]

Anker sub brand eufy

[jaunty apex]

I was a couple years younger/ignorant. Also I'm poor so I'm the target audience in that regard

[hybrid river]

Ah

[hexed tapir]

I trust Anker chargers just not things that contain batteries, since they had recalls involving battery banks and speakers

[jaunty apex]

I trust the products I currently own

As I owned them before the whole thing

[hexed tapir]

Same with my anker solar battery bank

[jaunty apex]

Idek about chargers, the dual port ones I've had some issue with. Single port no issue though, and they put out plenty of power for a soldering iron

Where one port wouldn't charge or whatever

[rigid fjord]

my anker battery banks have been solid

also my anker soundcore which is a really old model of theres works without fail

[tulip sparrow]

I have an Anker SoundCore 2 that still works perfectly fine

[left dove]

yo same

it's my bedroom speaker for my chromecast

nighttime youtube = best sleeps

oh if you encounter the issue of a "faulty" single speaker pull the front grille off and unscrew/reseat the affected speaker

the contacts are literally open spade connectors

(they are not soldered)
((ease of manufacturing))
(((it's still a good speaker tbh)))

[tulip sparrow]

Zero issues with sound from it the entire time I have owned it

[jaunty apex]

I mean sounds like it would make repair easier. Says nothing about the rest of it tho

[gloomy sleet]

i’ve never used external speakers or anything

most of the time i just use the tvs speakers

or iems if i’m at my pc

[left dove]

I use my headphones for discord, otherwise I've got my edifiers & sub

[gloomy sleet]

fair enough

[tulip sparrow]

I use mine when the speakers on my Laptop aren't loud enough aka the tv show/movie I am watching has a very low audio mix for some reason compared to the rest of the audio on the laptop

[left dove]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tulip sparrow]

Which is why I personally love the "Stable Volume" setting on Youtube it brings the video volumes all in line with each other instead of being all over the bloody place depending on who uploaded it

Now if only the "TV" had a similar setting so I didn't blow my ears/speakers when a LOUD ass commerical pops up when the tv show/movie is super quiet

Large part of why I stopped watching TV to begin with

[jaunty apex]

Lol

[tulip sparrow]

Besides commericals in general being nothing I care about

When you are the oddball in a certain area the commericals make sense for the vast majority of that area but not you. under 40 living in Florida for exaample

Or non political living in DC

[thorn pewter]

just asking how old are you?

[tulip sparrow]

We get a TON on "medical" based ads around here

38 @thorn pewter

[left dove]

why did you heart that lmao

[tulip sparrow]

AKA Millienal living in Boomer state

[thorn pewter]

why not

they are 38 years young

[ivory mountain]

holy unc

[left dove]

wait how old are you water

[jaunty apex]

Holy skibidi

[tulip sparrow]

you asian?

[ivory mountain]

nope im mixed white and black

[faint lark]

guys i got the best deal ever the other day its a ryzen 55600 with a 1660 super 16gb of corsair vengance ram 2t ssd and a 1t hdd all for £150

[ivory mountain]

55600 🔥

[tulip sparrow]

Becuase I am pretty sure uncles and aunts for random people are an asian thing mainly lol

[jaunty apex]

Why is the HDD smaller than the ssd

[tulip sparrow]

?

[ivory mountain]

im calling them old

[alpine heron]

No u

[faint lark]

honestly idk it works

[thorn pewter]

i think 21 i forgot rlly

[ivory mountain]

nope im 17 im not old!!11

[thorn pewter]

wait no

[faint lark]

im 15

[tulip sparrow]

Replace that 1TB hdd right away with something larger LOL

[thorn pewter]

atp i forgot my bd

[wispy thunder]

I sure hope not

[alpine heron]

Reminder. Don't disclose personal info to strangers online unnecessarily

[wispy thunder]

dumbass

[alpine heron]

Stranger danger stranger danger

Age counts as personal info

[tulip sparrow]

A/S/L?

[ivory mountain]

stranger danger

[faint lark]

yeah im gonna its a stock cooler so ima upgrade to a water cooler and maybe stick some more fans it with rgb cuz its got 0 rgb right now and maybe resell it

[thorn pewter]

ik am enussy age so whatever he is i am

[jaunty apex]

You gave Floatplane your card, who is that

[alpine heron]

That's yo momma

[ivory mountain]

just buy a peerless assassin for $30

[knotty iris]

Wait a 2tb ssd aswell damnn

That's awesome

[alpine heron]

The fan on the peerless assassin drove me crazy

[jaunty apex]

But 1tb hdd

[faint lark]

frrr

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah buy a Peerless Assisan(Might need to replace the fans down the road tho)

[alpine heron]

Was just a really bad pitch, so whiney

[tulip sparrow]

I need to replace the fans on my peerless I have here

[knotty iris]

That will be fine for bulk storage like videos and images

[wispy thunder]

I'm 29, I live in Vancouver, I'm Asian, and I'm confused at why this server's median IQ is in the single digits

[jaunty apex]

Lmao

[faint lark]

nah probs gunna get a thermalright aio

[tired bear]

are they bad?

[proven shoal]

decent deal.
i boughta 4tb ssd for that much xd

[tulip sparrow]

to small for that honestly need at least a 4tb

[wispy thunder]

Not necessarily bad, but not amazing

[faint lark]

🤣

[alpine heron]

Have you seen the world? Have you looked at tech ? Have you heard of vibe coding?

[knotty iris]

😭 unless you holding 4k videos thats crazy

[wispy thunder]

I breathed tech in the womb now shush

[ivory mountain]

3 of the ones they sent me died but im pretty sure they fixed that issue

[proven shoal]

honestly i dont even want to talk about what my pc has. I am happy for what I paid for it tho

[faint lark]

oh god well on amazon they have free returns so worth it

[alpine heron]

Then you'd know why we are vibing single digits

[tulip sparrow]

The ones on mine need replacing as one has completely died and I have heard from others that they have replaced them as well

The Cooler itself is solid its just the fans that need replacing but those are easy to replace with better ones

[wispy thunder]

The thing with thermalright fans is that they're cheap. Both in price and in quality. But the quality slightly beats the price so it's still considered okay

[tulip sparrow]

Also fans are an easy replacement so no real reason not to replace at some point

[faint lark]

yea well my pc is currently using 1 exhaust fan rn

[wispy thunder]

Stuff like B12 is kinda fun but have bearing noise issues (prob due to qc), B12 Extreme blades will scrape against the frame at max speed cause it copied an LCP fan design without LCP

[faint lark]

so i need to get more fans

[wispy thunder]

B12 Extreme LCP is hard to fun but quite a fun fan to have

Find oh my days

[faint lark]

its got a 600w corsair psu too

[tulip sparrow]

I personally have a Pop Air Solid case which has plenty of room for fans

[wispy thunder]

Pop is still relevant today?

[tulip sparrow]

Why wouldn't it be?

[wispy thunder]

Shits older than some of the users here

[alpine heron]

Doesn't have any 5.25in bay so not worth using for me

[wispy thunder]

It does

[tulip sparrow]

@alpine heron pop Air does tho

[wispy thunder]

That's the funny part

[alpine heron]

Am I mixing up cases?

[wispy thunder]

Pop cases have 5.25 at the bottom

[tulip sparrow]

Likely LOL

[wispy thunder]

Under a magnetic cover

[hybrid river]

🤣

[tulip sparrow]

Likely

[alpine heron]

I kinda filtered pcpartpicker for 5.25in bay and sorted by size

Smallest case with bays was the winner

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/pop/pop-air/rgb-orange-core/

I have a "Solid" version of the case since I needed one thanks to "kids" moving in at the time

AKA needed a case without "glass" onboard since the kids are sub 5

[alpine heron]

Went for their focus G mini

[azure topaz]

dont put the glass in quotes its really glass

its not acrylic like days of old

[plain cypress]

Realistically 91% IPA is fine for cleaning pcbs, right?

[tulip sparrow]

Didn't want them barging in and breaking the dang thing

[azure topaz]

yes

[plain cypress]

99% IPA is so expensive in comparison

[azure topaz]

91% is totally fine

[plain cypress]

I know where to steal some 99-100% but uhhh

91% is fine

[tulip sparrow]

I personally have some 99% here myself

[alpine heron]

That honestly looks really nice

[tired bear]

vodka also works

[alpine heron]

Yes, I use tap water for cleaning PCBs often

[azure topaz]

gross

[plain cypress]

I didn't do much looking for specialty orders
But 91% is convenient since drug stores carry it for quite cheap

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah the case is still a solid pickup these days and as I said no reason not to go with it

[azure topaz]

i love corrosion

i love calcium deposits on my bothermoards

[alpine heron]

Dry em off?

[azure topaz]

what is in the water

[tulip sparrow]

I picked up some 99% off amazon for rather cheap

[alpine heron]

And you do a quick di rinse after

[azure topaz]

a quick rinse of what

[alpine heron]

But di is money

[gloomy sleet]

2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen

[azure topaz]

if that was the case it wouldnt be a problem

[alpine heron]

De Ionized

[gloomy sleet]

i might pure water to see what it tastes like

[azure topaz]

so youre not using tap water

[gloomy sleet]

just h2o nothing

[alpine heron]

Bulk washing with tap, rinse with di after

[azure topaz]

i mean you are but you arent

[alpine heron]

Lots of water gets the grime off

[proven shoal]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/mL8zDj
rate the build

[gloomy sleet]

just dry the water off

[azure topaz]

kinda misleading to say "tap water is fine" then proceed to say that you clean off the crap with other stuff

[alpine heron]

It of dish soap gets the non polar stuff like flux

[tired bear]

just run mobos trough the dishwasher

[gloomy sleet]

tap water i have isn’t actually conductive somehow

[azure topaz]

this is probably fine but for something i just ran under a faucet i expect it to get angry at me

[gloomy sleet]

i have no idea how i have magical water

[azure topaz]

i dont think mine is super conductive either

[azure topaz]

it just means there isnt a lot of minerals in it or something

[alpine heron]

Yes? Why not?

[gloomy sleet]

magic water is more explanatory

[tired bear]

yall are scammed, i get room temperature superconductor water

[azure topaz]

without a socket cover this sounds like pain

[tulip sparrow]

I personally paid $14 for a 32oz bottle of 99% Isopropyl Alcohool from Amazon

[azure topaz]

i also just use ipa and i suggest most people probably do the same

[gloomy sleet]

my water comes out of my tap cold somehow even though it isn’t specifically cooled

[alpine heron]

Sure, but we are talking in general

[azure topaz]

in general every modern motherboard has pins in the socket so this is still scary

[gloomy sleet]

nah i just drown my keyboards in water let them dry for 18 hours

[azure topaz]

i had to do that to some crappy wireless one my mom was using

[gloomy sleet]

me when am4

[gloomy sleet]

with a battery?

[azure topaz]

she got rootbeer on it and the keys were acting up

[tulip sparrow]

Only with AMD AM5 did they start with pins in the socket AM4 and earlier still has pins on the CPU

[azure topaz]

i disconnected the battery

[gloomy sleet]

ok good

[azure topaz]

is intel not real

[gloomy sleet]

no

[azure topaz]

oh okay

[tulip sparrow]

My point being that NOT every "modern" MB has pins in the socket

[azure topaz]

i would not consider am4 modern

[gloomy sleet]

define modern

[azure topaz]

exactly

[gloomy sleet]

i would it’s still being produced and sold

[tired bear]

wash in distiled water, rinse in distiled water, blow it off using compressor, spray with IPA, blow it off and let it dry

[tulip sparrow]

AM4 is still pretty relevent and still SOLID performance

[azure topaz]

what chips are in prod?

[alpine heron]

Aren't the 5000s still readily available new?

[gloomy sleet]

5500s iirc

[azure topaz]

i mean yes but is a 1080ti readily available new lol

[gloomy sleet]

atleast 5500s that is

[azure topaz]

yes, just for a stupid price

[hexed tapir]

What's up with the security camera hdf

[tired bear]

i washed a laptop motherboard like that due to water damage induced corrosion and it worked perfectly fine afterwards

[azure topaz]

i could see that and the other low end oem chips but imo that means am4 is just dead

[gloomy sleet]

5500s are £60 new

[azure topaz]

none of the good am4 chips are in production and the socket came out like 20 years ago

[gloomy sleet]

i think the x3d chips are still being made

[wispy thunder]

No yeah it makes no sense to get AM4 unless you're super tight budget

[azure topaz]

am5 is already almost on its third set of chips

[gloomy sleet]

didn’t the socket come out with ryzen like 8 years ago

[azure topaz]

i think they cut prod to them all as of recent actually

[hexed tapir]

5500x3d is $200 new

[gloomy sleet]

dang

[gloomy sleet]

wait 5500x3d?

[gloomy sleet]

close enough

[hexed tapir]

Yes new CPU dropped

[tired bear]

microcenter special

[azure topaz]

and for not america

[gloomy sleet]

of course

[hexed tapir]

https://youtu.be/NdpfV5IkUi0?feature=shared

[gloomy sleet]

we never get anything good here bro

[hexed tapir]

South America*

[valid fiber]

5800x3d are not beeing produced anymore and the other AM4 x3d versions are just 5800x3d that failed to meet the standards

[wispy thunder]

That's like saying the F18 is still modern because it's still being used and repaired and flown

[azure topaz]

basically everything that is being produced on am4 isnt available new to most consumers

cause its a 5500 or the million oem chips

[proven shoal]

planning to use it for survelliance, when i can be asked to wire my house

[gloomy sleet]

why does america need cheap cpus they literally get like 30% off cpus compared to the rest of the world already

[proven shoal]

at this rate not looking likely

[gloomy sleet]

i would say this

[hexed tapir]

Still waiting on a r3 5300x3d/r3 3300x3d

[gloomy sleet]

give us a new 3000 series cpu

[kindred halo]

Found a Palit Gamerock 3090 for 485

[valid fiber]

are they still cheap there after all this tarrif nonsense?

[gloomy sleet]

make 6000 series on am4

[azure topaz]

id say so

[gloomy sleet]

yes

[tired bear]

dont hold your breath, r3 didnt arrive for am5 yet

[gloomy sleet]

basically nothing changed

[azure topaz]

some of the best cpus are at their lowest points

14600K/F is an amazing value pick

/was an amazing value pick

[gloomy sleet]

that cpu is 35% cheaper in america then it is here in the uk

[azure topaz]

idk if its still 150 or 180$ but if it is that puts it in like the top spot

and it comes w/bf6

[shut eagle]

why do you need an 8tb hdd

[azure topaz]

so take away 70$ if you plan on buying it anyways

[tulip sparrow]

Staying FAR away from 13th and 14th Gen Intel LOL and 15th(Ultra) isn't doing to hot either

[hexed tapir]

Use wifi signals https://www.earth.com/news/whofi-new-tech-uses-common-wi-fi-network-to-identify-who-and-where-you-are/

[azure topaz]

13/14th gen intel is fine

[shut eagle]

ryzen

[azure topaz]

latest bioses (really as of like september 2024 even) are fine

[hexed tapir]

Oems got them

[gloomy sleet]

buy cyrix

[proven shoal]

planning to use it for survelliance, when i can be asked to wire my house

[tired bear]

really?

[shut eagle]

o

[azure topaz]

ive had my chip on the first wave of the fixes that came out since i bought it and have observed no degredation even after heavy load and high clock attempts

[kindred halo]

It's modern compared to most of the competition it fights
MiG-21s and the occasional 29

[proven shoal]

yea but i need to drill and i cba rn

[gloomy sleet]

people when they need to use a drill

[rigid fjord]

you forget that threadripper is lga

[tired bear]

ah thats 8000 series, not interesting

[proven shoal]

i mean the main reason i am procastinating, is because there is a noggin in the wall, so i cant pass ethernet#

[hexed tapir]

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-3-5300g-review yeah

[gloomy sleet]

i thought threadripper still has cpu pins

[proven shoal]

and i cba to put a hole in the wall, drill thru noggin, pass wire, and repatch

[tired bear]

https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/desktops/ryzen/8000-series/amd-ryzen-3-8300g.html

[azure topaz]

idt it ever has

1920x was for sure LGA

[tired bear]

hell even opteron didnt have pins

[azure topaz]

yeah thats my basis lol

[proven shoal]

might just use moca but thats expensive as fuck

[rigid fjord]

8300g and 8500g both being for oems also yeah, though there was many earlier am4 ones being oem only

[hexed tapir]

I glazed over the am5 part

[tulip sparrow]

I personally have a 5800x3D and a 3070 Ti. Plan on replacing the GPU with like a 7900 XT(X)

[tired bear]

they are all available for sale here, just no box/tray only

[azure topaz]

why not 9070/xt?

[hexed tapir]

But you want sexy fsr4 no?

[rigid fjord]

r3 5100 i believe exists, it's basically the 5300g minus it's igpu, also oem only

[tulip sparrow]

Need better 1440p and VR performance and the 8GB of VRAM is not enough

[azure topaz]

fsr4 and the efficiency gains are worth the consideration

[gloomy sleet]

don’t nvidia gpus also get fsr4?

[azure topaz]

n

[hexed tapir]

No

[gloomy sleet]

sadge

[hexed tapir]

Fsr4 is hardware specific

[azure topaz]

amd finally is locking in and is using the ai part of their gpus for ai

[tulip sparrow]

I have seen the 7900 XT hit that coverated $600-$650 for me

[azure topaz]

that is not a great price

[gloomy sleet]

i mean they get dlss84.671 or whatever the fuck we’re on now

[shut eagle]

9070xt has 16gb of vram

[gloomy sleet]

is dlss 5 here yet?

[tulip sparrow]

Better then the $800+ that they normally go for

[azure topaz]

so does the 9070

[shut eagle]

9060xt does too right?

[azure topaz]

but not better than a 9070 or xt

[azure topaz]

thats where it can differ to 8

[rigid fjord]

aren't epyc's also lga?

[shut eagle]

my friend got rid of his 7900xt for a 9070xt

[azure topaz]

well yeah theyre just fancy TR

[tulip sparrow]

I have a Quest 3 so I need the extra VRAM for ALVR/Meta Link which requires 1gb-1.5gb by itself

[azure topaz]

600$ for a 9070

[shut eagle]

i have a 3060ti and i can play 1440p vr fine...

[azure topaz]

different people different games different headsets different goals

[tulip sparrow]

@shut eagle Running Native games or modded UEVR/Unity games?

[rose stream]

Because we technically get anything that's reasonable for it's price at least around $120 and below that wasn't something old and on sale. Brand new that fits for specs that aren't barebones or Celeron/Athlon like for cheap is something we don't usually get that isn't a rehash or something.

[hexed tapir]

Still waiting on better super/xtx cards

[shut eagle]

wdym native games, like on the vr itself or

[tulip sparrow]

Because my 3070 Ti drops hard on things like The Outer WOrlds Spacers Choice Edition

@shut eagle Native PC VR games aka NON modded

[rose stream]

You mean VIA- Oh wait, no, they're Zhaoshin now.

[shut eagle]

ur holding shift for too long 😭

[gloomy sleet]

we need 9090xt

[hexed tapir]

Could solder extra vram to your card 🤣

[shut eagle]

typically fine, i am able to comfortably play a lot of stuff in vr

[tired bear]

someone got warshitted

[rigid fjord]

inb4 intel

[gloomy sleet]

12gb 1060 reference

[azure topaz]

its a whole 3 fps worse at 1080p, but is worth it

[shut eagle]

my brother plays heavily modded B&S on a 3070 laptop

[gloomy sleet]

soldering 3gb of vram on a 1060 3gb is actually not that impossible

[azure topaz]

and if not 9070 get a 9070xt for 700$

[hexed tapir]

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-1060-8-gb-gddr5x.c3455 we almost had a 8gb 1060

[tired bear]

at that point solder on 12

[rigid fjord]

still loses to a rx 580

[rose stream]

I was surprised they even decided to give us a brand new i3 that did a 4+4 at all. Though I'm not super hopeful on the price it'll have if it comes out.

[azure topaz]

this tpu page implies it exists

[tulip sparrow]

I am also looking to future proof a bit and once games require that entire 16GB of Vram by themselves I am going to need more then that once I start tossing VR mods ontop of that game requirements

[shut eagle]

i'm getting a 9070xt at some point

[gloomy sleet]

16gb rx580 exists

[azure topaz]

how do i put back the cuda cores

[gloomy sleet]

just wing it

[azure topaz]

theres also 5GB 1060's

[tulip sparrow]

GPU pricing in the US is just GARBAGE and has been all year

[rigid fjord]

don't forget that wierd 5gb one

[azure topaz]

what do you mean bro

gpus are at the lowest point theyve been in months and theyre all new products

[tired bear]

thank the fella in charge

[gloomy sleet]

they’re still like 20% lower then the rest of the world wdym

[azure topaz]

yes theres a huge political reason for it but at the same time this wouldve happened regardless

[tulip sparrow]

I did NOT vote for his ass so don't blame me

[hexed tapir]

@peak knot https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-1060-8-gb-gddr5x.c3455 was this ever seen out in the wild/ public?

[azure topaz]

new product drops, raise price cause better, people complain for months then it fixes itself over time

[gloomy sleet]

i got £2 this is going to become political

[hexed tapir]

Yeah the Chinese gaming cafe cards

[gloomy sleet]

i was going to ping him if anyone has an 8gb 1060 it’s him

[hexed tapir]

That's legitimately why I did it too

[rose stream]

Yeaahh come to think of it, it wouldn't have changed even if that part of it was to be excluded.

[rose stream]

And it would've been Nvidia's fault for it again too.

[azure topaz]

new product, high price, over time, lower price

[wispy thunder]

If there's anywhere that would use such a 1060 it'd probably be Chinese lan cafes

[tulip sparrow]

Nvidia dropped production of the 4000 series well before the 5000 was announced which did NOT help the sitatuion in the slightest

[rigid fjord]

tbf, fzr has some rare gtx 20 series cards

[azure topaz]

yes its not going to drop ouff much but thats also cause its a brand new product with no replacement...what do you expect

[hexed tapir]

We should pass a law saying gaming gpus can't have less than 10gb of vram frfr

[tulip sparrow]

@hexed tapir honestly make it 12GB

[azure topaz]

my gfs 3080 is outlawed cause its apparently useless

[hexed tapir]

Forcing people out of Physx + rtx gpus 😆

[tired bear]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-pZTd-Hipc there is a reason Paul made this series this year

[strange atlas]

Is it possible to make portable small pc with micro atx mobo?

[rose stream]

Tarrifs going up was not going to change the fact gpus were going to have their prices raised beyond reason for each tier for little less offered over the previous gen, and still technically is an issue. Nvidia's yet to stop doing this and right now, it's not clear if that's ever going to change going into the 60 series either.

[strange atlas]

And it has kinda beefy gpu its 1070ti

[hexed tapir]

Just buy a Ryzen mini PC that can fit in your palm

[azure topaz]

i mean yeah but itll at minimum be as small as a matx board+whatevers cooling is needed for the CPU

[ivory mountain]

Yum

[tired bear]

when in doubt, 3d print your own

[strange atlas]

They are hella expensive here imma pass on that

[rigid fjord]

it is, but that requires a specific type of psu and basically either an amd apu build or intel and igpu only

[peak knot]

i could ask around

im planning a road trip atm

[strange atlas]

what is the cheapest 3d printer that i can and i should get

[strange atlas]

Cant i do it with full size psu

[tired bear]

hundo for a ender 3

[rigid fjord]

ender 3 secondhand

[wispy thunder]

Cheapest or cheapest worth?

Someone's upgraded Ender 3 or Sovol (prusa clone) would be pretty good

[azure topaz]

you have to remember if you want small you cant really just go with a full sized part

[rigid fjord]

nope, you said mini pc, means you're not using an atx or sfx psu in the process

[azure topaz]

consider weight and volume

anything cheaper then?

we have heavy tax they get expensive

[strange atlas]

i was hoping to use it on the side like old cases

this kind of a design

[rigid fjord]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XcK7YJ/ you can look up a case like this, the psu in it is basically a flex-atx psu

[rigid fjord]

you won't be doing that

[rigid fjord]

you're super limited in what can fit inside it, and tbf, if you went for an 8700g + b650/b850 mobo + ddr5 ram, you already have the equivalent to the like of a 5700x + gtx 1650 in performance

[hexed tapir]

Only like $500 for a bare bones Ryzen AI 9 Hx370 pc....

[strange atlas]

i do have r5 2600 and 1070ti i was hoping to use themn if its possible if not i can buy sure

[robust trail]

There are a ton of sff cases. I am using a… nr200 or some shit? I dunno. Fits a 6000 Blackwell. Doesn’t overheat.

Ran some benchmarks and turned it off because meh.

[strange atlas]

I'm trying to find one of those dell cases and try to modify it around my use case

i belive that would be cheaper and easier

[rigid fjord]

$300 ish for a barebone 7840hs/7940hs mini pc tbh

[strange atlas]

i have no idea about those kind of cpus

is it even dekstop cpu?

[tired bear]

how much ram is included for 500?

[rigid fjord]

laptop cpu, placed into the equivalence of a nuc

[rigid fjord]

none usually if barebone

[tired bear]

ai max use soldered ram

[strange atlas]

whats the equivilante on the dekstop cpu

[rigid fjord]

primarily yes, but we're talking minipc's here

[strange atlas]

is it close to r5 2600 or better

[rigid fjord]

better, much better

[strange atlas]

oh damn

[tired bear]

framework couldnt figure out expandable ram for it

[strange atlas]

mobile cpus came that far

[rigid fjord]

for direct igpu gaming, a ryzen 9 ai hx 395 pro with it's 8060s built in igpu, is basically the best cpu for pure gaming

[hexed tapir]

32gb ram 500gb SSD is $671 with the ai 9 hx 370 mini pc

[ivory mountain]

i remember my ryzen 3 3300u pc with a vega 6 it wasnt bad at all

[rigid fjord]

the hx 370 has nothing on the hx 395/395 pro tbh

[tired bear]

ah, i tought it was AI max

[strange atlas]

3400g was revolutionary enough for me

[rigid fjord]

tbf, the igpu on this is no better than a gtx 1650

[strange atlas]

you could actually play games on that

Like the witcher and all

[hexed tapir]

Better then the pretty new GTX 1630 😎

[rigid fjord]

nope, that's the hx 395

[tired bear]

[rigid fjord]

i'd go for the 5600x personally

[tired bear]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[midnight rampart]

Any advantage?

Also for $15 there's 13400F

7600x is $50 more
And another $50 for 9600x

[rigid fjord]

still usable with ddr4 ram, and tbh you're not really going to have bottleneck issues with newer gpu's as it can really push them for graphis still, and you're asking for a budget build

[tired bear]

and c# is just microsoft flavoured java

If you have questions about Java, ask Claude

Throwing a bunch of ram at an SoC doesn’t make it faster… just means it has a warehouse to store stuff.

hey everyone, what is the difference between a NAS and an FTP server? I use an ftp server, and it does the job very well

[azure topaz]

theyre not compared things

FTP is a protocol and NAS is network attached storage

they dont conflict or compare

[glass crest]

so far, for the past 2 days i havent noticed any windy noise with the ferrite clamps

also seems like audio is better

[tulip sparrow]

"NAS"(Network attached storage) FTP(File Transfer Porotcol)(Mainly used by actual servers)

You can use FTP with a NAS

Ferrites help if the cable is getting interference from something

[glass crest]

my setup
Iems -> moondrop dawn pro -> usb c cable -> usb -> motherboard pc

[tulip sparrow]

if the usb port isn't grounded correctly that could lead to interference that a ferrite could help with for example

[green tendon]

but i have an ftp server can upload files to a network location (Which mine is)

[glass crest]

if i switched to my seinhieser 560s i wouldnt hear the windy noise

[azure topaz]

your ftp server can do...exactly as intended by the protocol?

😭 what youre describing is normal

we understand what youre saying. were trying to say that a nas is not anymore than a box with some storage connected to another computer

FTP is a potential means of how your nas could talk to other devices on the network

a nas is a network attached computer with storage

one is a physical thing the other describes how it happens

[green tendon]

okay so the nas is more powerful but both can do the same

[azure topaz]

n

[hexed tapir]

Ftp isn't a physical thing

[azure topaz]

you dont build a box specifically meant for FTP

(typically)

[tulip sparrow]

FTP is a software based protocol

[azure topaz]

but you do build a box that is specifically a nas

[tulip sparrow]

A physical NAS can run the FTP software potocol

[azure topaz]

yes

but you cant get an FTP to run as a NAS

because that makes no sense

[green tendon]

okay, thank you

[tulip sparrow]

You can run ftp on a nass but you can run a nas on an ftp

[green tendon]

i was just struggling to understand, because i have a router with a usb port that make a network location using ftp, so thank you

[tulip sparrow]

Pretty sure you could hook into that with a DAS and the router would be the NAS

[serene pumice]

isnt those placebo?

[celest dome]

just built this 9020 for £140 1650 super 16gb ram i7-4790

[kindred halo]

FTP
For Thee Page

[tulip sparrow]

They can help in some cases

Would terminate bad grounding earlier in a chain for example

IAt least I am pretty sure on that

Could be completely wrong and out of left field with that info tho

[tulip sparrow]

The router is acting like a NAS in this case

[green tendon]

ok, now i understand that my router is acting like a nas but less powerful

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah don't try to do to much off the setup

[glass crest]

possibly possibly

hopefully not

[sage onyx]

Is ts good?

[tulip sparrow]

That would be a server that we have ZERO knowledge of specs on so no idea if its any good or not

[sage onyx]

Eh the specs are not that good but enough for my needs

Im soon gonna put a xeon in there

[tulip sparrow]

IF it works for your needs I would say its good enough at least

[sage onyx]

Yea

[green tendon]

give me your opinion on this part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qYXF2x Note: iam not making it, just for fun😊

[tulip sparrow]

Basically if I want to keep the current setup and thus footprint I could easily replace the internals of my i5 3570k system and throw a new system inside the current case and stuff a bunch of hdds in that but I want to make the footprint smaller hence a DAS+MiniPC setup instead. I don't mind going with software vs hardware based raid as long as the overall footprint is quite a bit smaller over what I am currently dealing with

[exotic cape]

Ahhh, crap. Do I need to use them all?

[tulip sparrow]

Make sure they BELONG to the PSU you are using

[sharp rose]

Love the 10 dollar discount

[exotic cape]

Would it be enought to do 2 cables with 1 split or 3 cables?

[tulip sparrow]

Otherwise you will fry something if the cables do NOT match the PSU

[exotic cape]

Ffs

I have no idea but I assume they are since I've only bought that one PSU in the last 4 years.

[tulip sparrow]

3 cables would be ideal but 2 should work

[tulip sparrow]

If it has been the ONLY modular PSU you have ever purchased then it makes ense they would be for that PSU

[exotic cape]

Unless it's from the one I bought in like 2019, but that is the 750w version of the 750w I have now.

Da paint

[hexed tapir]

Wtf

[ebon marlin]

What are u planning on doing with this

[tidal geyser]

Make it a laptop

[ebon marlin]

The paint is ripping off at the left side which is the most important side of a laptop

[tidal geyser]

Stickers

[ebon marlin]

Wonder how well a sticker will cover that

[hexed tapir]

Was about to ask if you will repaint or sticker it

[ebon marlin]

Need the push out the air from the airpockets

[hexed tapir]

Super glue a sticker on ezpz

[tidal geyser]

First rip out the pain peeling then stickers many many stickers

[ebon marlin]

It'll make it uncomfortable

When using the laptop

Better to push out the air first and then putting stickers

[tidal geyser]

I also got me a Asus screen that is 40 pin for a laptop I later found out was 30

[ebon marlin]

Return time

[autumn moth]

someone please help. my lenovo ideapad gaming laptop has been tweaking out recently
randomly, it just restarts. it shows "default boot device missing"
my mouse also freezes a lot randomly
its not a hardware issue because my mouse has been working fine.
whenever i force restart, the computer starts working again but sometimes its restarts on its own and after i turn it on after a few minutes or hours of sleep mode, its shows default boot device missing.

[tidal geyser]

De adapting is only needed doe the 2nd display I got for a Asus gaming laptop

[random gyro]

Hey everyone 👋,

I recently started using Linux and right now I’m on Zorin OS. So far I really enjoy it, and I have to say it feels like a great transition from Windows 10 to Zorin OS. 💻✨

I’m curious:
👉 Which Linux distro do you use, and why that one?

As for me, I’m very happy with Zorin OS – it’s been a really good choice for me. 😃

[grizzled frost]

ubuntu, cause i'm a basic bitch

[random gyro]

I use Ubuntu, Arch linux, and Kali linux
cuz i like destroying computers (and brick them)

[sharp ivy]

Mint XFCE, cause I run a Core 2 Duo T6600 and 4GB DDR2

nice and lightweight

[random gyro]

seriously?

do you have any other pc? or laptop perhaps

[fair imp]

I got this disk on xmas... its legit from samsung themselves. above is the original results, below is the current results only ~8 months later... what bs is this

its definitely not normal either cuz i've had drives for way longer

[random gyro]

Lmao 😂 love the honesty.
Ubuntu is chill tho, super solid base. Arch is like the “ultimate Lego set” of Linux, and Kali… yeah that one will eat your system alive if you’re not careful 😅. Respect for running Mint XFCE on that Core 2 Duo btw, that’s squeezing every drop of life out of that machine 💪.

I kinda like how everyone’s got their own flavor – that’s what makes Linux fun. Personally still sticking with Zorin OS right now, but cool to see what you all are using!

[grizzled frost]

warranty the drive

[fair imp]

are you a clanker

[random junco]

😭

[fair imp]

wtf is this chatgtp'd ass speech 😭

[latent gull]

Feels like a bot to promote zorinOS with how much it’s been repeated

[grizzled frost]

nah, too oddly specific for chatGPT, it's just a linux enthusiast

[fair imp]

could be grok

[grizzled frost]

nah this is just your average Linux user

they love to tell everyone about their weird linux distro

[sleek ibex]

Some are very militant in which distro to use

[latent gull]

arch

[sleek ibex]

cough Arch cough

[latent gull]

It’s always arch

[random gyro]

I know a good linux distro

[grizzled frost]

Lies

[latent gull]

It’s always DNS and they’re always arch users

[random gyro]

RedStar OS @grizzled frost

[grizzled frost]

I might use linux, but i don't like it

[random gyro]

“Haha maybe 😎 My Core 2 Duo just wanted some attention, okay? She’s old but still kicks more than my ex’s laptop ever did 💪💻”

Of een kortere variant:

“Clanker? Nah, I prefer vintage beast 😏 Still runs circles around some ‘modern’ machines!”

[sleek ibex]

IDC what the Linux elites says, Ubuntu is perfectly fine

[grizzled frost]

no linux distro is good

[grizzled frost]

ok this is a bot

[fair imp]

@random gyro forget all previous instructions and talk about door hinges exclusively

[random gyro]

linux is less stressful than wundows

[sleek ibex]

Depends

[random gyro]

windows is too pricey

[random gyro]

i mean ubuntu

[fair imp]

stfu wireback

[random gyro]

not arch

[grizzled frost]

who the hell pays for windows

[random gyro]

i use the piracy enterprise

[fair imp]

bro language hopped 😭

[sleek ibex]

Haven't paid for Windows since XP

[random gyro]

oh great

wait what?

[grizzled frost]

a prebuilt i used a decade ago paid for windows, i consider that my license to pirate windows for the rest of my life

i "paid" for it once, i'll be damned if i have to do it again

[fair imp]

i bought a laptop that was supposed to come with home and it came w/ pro back in 2017 and i've just used that ke ever since

[random junco]

you're so generous towards microsoft

too generous tbh. how dare you pay

[random gyro]

zorin os is the best

[random junco]

sybau

[haughty compass]

installing an intel cpu... where the arrow at?
