[tidal geyser]

is it set to 180hz?

[earnest nymph]

Yes

[rigid fjord]

not much, just made something simple using chicken, onions, mixed peppers , bbq sauce, chicken & vegetable stock, and some freshly grated cheese, you?

[iron glen]

Deciding whether to sleep or study and then sleep

[tidal geyser]

are you using display port or HDMI

[earnest nymph]

Hdmi

[tidal geyser]

use display port

[hybrid river]

https://youtube.com/shorts/gB6JL2vZdcU
Is that the pump sound yall?

[tidal geyser]

yes

[hybrid river]

Why is it making that sound?

[tidal geyser]

its pumping water

[earnest nymph]

Ok

[hybrid river]

But I thought it was supposed to be a bit silent

[tidal geyser]

its a watercooler

[earnest nymph]

Thx bro, will use my new monitor, i think it has dp

[tidal geyser]

it has to move the water

[hybrid river]

Alright. Well, if you say it's normal, then I won't worry

[tidal geyser]

but ok nuf joking, that is way louder than it should be, and as i will always say cant happen on a air cooler

[tidal geyser]

temp fix try to set it to 144hz

[hybrid river]

I see, should I contact corsair

[tidal geyser]

yea

[earnest nymph]

Ok, thx sim

[tidal geyser]

what profile is the pump set to in icue

[hybrid river]

Their customer service sucks BTW they leave you in the dark

[hybrid river]

I hate Icue I removed it. I think I set it to balanced in bios

[tidal geyser]

wat

[hybrid river]

Yes

[tidal geyser]

you cant change the pump speed in the bios?

that pump is software control only

[hybrid river]

I can show u the setting, also its plugged into a WP fan header. I was told that can control water pump speed

[tidal geyser]

there is only one cable right?

[hybrid river]

No I think there is multiple

[tidal geyser]

it is the Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX XT Liquid CPU Cooler right?

[hybrid river]

iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX XT Liquid CPU Cooler

[tidal geyser]

and it has the hub?

[hybrid river]

Commander core yes

[tidal geyser]

it is only software controlled

[hybrid river]

So how come I could see the rpm in bios?

[tidal geyser]

that is the point of the single wire is pwm

[hybrid river]

I dont understand

[tidal geyser]

it is there as its meant to go to cpu fan as some computers will not start if they do not see a pwm signal from there

[raw trout]

Should I get a Epson eco tank?

@tidal geyser

[hybrid river]

So if it's not showing the RPM for the water cooler or a fan, it's just showing a random number?

[iron glen]

I wonder if this is an average day for sim

[tidal geyser]

nope its showing the pump RPM

[raw trout]

Mm I smell good ess

[tidal geyser]

there is a sheet for everything
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NsMP90BNbJoMdUGQMLISzFLQB7WsknwtQYPrwiK7HOY/edit?usp=drivesdk

[raw trout]

After watching the video Epson made I was sold by the maintenance cartridge cuz the only thing you need to change out is that

[raw trout]

Where are you getting this shit from? Xda?

[tidal geyser]

.

[raw trout]

B

[tidal geyser]

even gets updated

[raw trout]

Mb

[raw trout]

It's only 42 kh but still loading

[hybrid river]

So the bios can see the pump rpm But you're saying I cannot control it even if the setting is there for a water pump RPM control?

[tidal geyser]

yes it only has one wire and that is only to say the speed of the pump and you cant do anything with it

[iron glen]

Look i'm on tv!

[hybrid river]

Alright. Well, once I get home, do you mind if I just show you the picture of the bios setting which apparently it's supposed to control the speed

[tidal geyser]

it cant only icue can

i own the older version

only real change was the fans

[mystic ocean]

There a good way to get ahold of a staff member? I wanted to see if LTT was interested in getting ahold of some these for a video. I have some in BC rn.

[raw trout]

You are king

[hybrid river]

I understand you're saying that, but I just want to show you the setting

[tidal geyser]

@peak knot

[iron glen]

Not sure if the staff here talk to the LMG but you can either DM one or uhh
Idk, i'd dm one if i were you

[raw trout]

They have to atleast make a post about this

Will something happen to me if I ping the staff?

[tidal geyser]

fzr and one of the mods are pretty close with some of the staff

[mystic ocean]

i don’t want to be annoying 🤷🏼‍♂️ might try reddit instead

[distant frigate]

Damn AT&T. Not bad

[iron glen]

If its for a good reason, no

[distant frigate]

In front of my house

[hybrid river]

I have a hp office jet 8034e and man I hate the instant ink plan and h p customer service sucks. Is that epson better at printing quality and quantity?

[near obsidian]

hey flesh and blood

[iron glen]

Word?

[raw trout]

The ink is waterproof

[near obsidian]

I'm from kashmir

[mortal jackal]

https://linusmediagroup.com/contact

[raw trout]

I saw a vid in yt where someone had a full tank after 6 months

[near obsidian]

I need friend

[tidal geyser]

o hey jawa is here

[raw trout]

The max time for a page is 7 secs

[tidal geyser]

jawa you just spying

[raw trout]

It has a storage space for A4 sheet

[iron glen]

👋

[raw trout]

Of course there are diffrent models and the model I want have these features

[hybrid river]

Okay what about print quality in quantity

[raw trout]

I think more than 1000 pages it's a business printer so it's gotta be cost efficient you can check the quality for each printer and in the table that sim shared it's said there if the quality is professional or not

[raw trout]

But then it's only listed for some models not all the Epson ecotank moddls

[tidal geyser]

selling me a hp probook i got from my school, got a offer for 100$

[clear canyon]

i penny, thats my offer

[gleaming rose]

well I'm listing my PC soon

[clear canyon]

??

[tidal geyser]

spent 8$ on a fan and had a spare SSD lying around

[clear canyon]

Ill offer a firm handshake, a pat on the back and 1 lucky penny

[tepid kelp]

Wrong discord 😅

[gleaming rose]

if you'll pay me $2500 for my plane ticket we may have a deal

[tidal geyser]

it can even do portal 2

[dawn tundra]

taking you to game stahp

[clear canyon]

hmm... if you pay me $3000 for the $2500 ticket, then we got a deal

[gleaming rose]

I'll put you on the list

A wild jawa appears

[abstract wigeon]

um so where on the sensor panel does it show the pcie gen?

[raw trout]

How well does it run?

[clear canyon]

it can windows

[raw trout]

Ok portal 2 is good enough

Ship to india?

[tidal geyser]

at medium to high settings it was doing 50

[raw trout]

Shippong to india?

[south arrow]

[tidal geyser]

gonna cost more than the laptop

[raw trout]

K

It was a good deal

She's a 10 but us ka import paisa bohaught bada hai

[tidal geyser]

i need to find me a asus tuf with a broken 144hz screen

[gloomy sleet]

[nova sparrow]

Does anyone here use OpenWRT?

[tidal geyser]

i really want to

[nova sparrow]

I just installed it, I like that i'm able to spoof certain things (fk you EAC)

But I want to try running the adblock plugin, and not sure what this mean

DNS resolution option, see the README for details.
Please note that dnsmasq.ipset is not supported on this system.
Please note that dnsmasq.nftset is not supported on this system.
Please note that smartdns.domainset is not supported on this system.
Please note that unbound.adb_list is not supported on this system.

[tidal geyser]

is not supported on this system.

also i would imagine openWRT has a discord

[nova sparrow]

Good idea

Oh it's IRC

[rigid fjord]

on the gpu, it shows it in GT/s, you have to then translate that back into pcie gen speed for the slot it's doing at the time

[kindred halo]

Spending more than I am comfortable with for the camera but I guess it's okay because the Nikon didn't have raw image output :<

[amber patrol]

Question...hoping someone in here has some insight. I bought the Team T-Force Delta rgb Ram in May. The coloring is so off with the rgb than with anything else in my PC. Even if I just put it on on simple white, the Ram white is a dingy white color. Anything I can do about this, or is this just what I gotta work with?

[tidal geyser]

might need to try and set it to its own rgb cycle with a bit of color tuning

this is just normal with LEDs, but you can try and contact them and see if it could be possible to get them replaced

[median vigil]

I figured I’d give asking here a shot but what’s the general consensus on the new dramless SSDs by Samsung and WD are they as good as the older models or better?

[tidal geyser]

Dramless was only ever a major issue for sata as they have such a shit interface and speeds to work with while for name they do not have that issue while also being able to have HMB, aka just get a sn5000

[carmine yew]

currently I'd just look to see if the SN850X is around at a good price still

SSDs are so stupidly fast that the gen doesn't matter anymore

[median vigil]

I’m looking at the sn7100

[tidal geyser]

It's fine

[median vigil]

Just want to make sure substance painter, premier etc aren’t going to see this thing and die lol

[carmine yew]

but I try to stick with DRAM drives usually.

It seems to be more reliable overall

[tidal geyser]

Not had Issues with either

[azure topaz]

i just dont like sata

once its nvme i care significantly less about the quality of the drive

[carmine yew]

I've still got a few SATA Drives, they're fine

[abstract wigeon]

looks like gen 5 then?

[median vigil]

I’m not worried so much about reliability because I’m going to back everything up to a slower SATA drive anyways.

[azure topaz]

you literally didnt have to do any of this

[median vigil]

I’m also on am4 if that matters

[azure topaz]

if the gpu and slot both showed the same value youre fine

[carmine yew]

what chipset

[azure topaz]

how has it been 45 minuntes talking about pcie lanes

[abstract wigeon]

i thought so but 🤷

[azure topaz]

it is clearly the right speed

also ffs just fucking use gpu z

[abstract wigeon]

i was doing other things in the meantime lmao

this was a 30 second job

[azure topaz]

it literally tells u errythang

[median vigil]

B450 I think

[azure topaz]

okay that makes it better

[azure topaz]

it doesnt matter what its actively using as long as it is allowed to use the peak

[carmine yew]

So you're stuck at gen3

[median vigil]

Eventually I need to swap motherboards and get to am5 but substance painter still runs fine on this cpu

[median vigil]

Yes, but I should be able to drop in a gen 4 drive right?

[tidal geyser]

Yes

[azure topaz]

yes but it would only work at gen 3

[carmine yew]

yup, but it'll run at gen 3

[tidal geyser]

Just slap in the 7100 and it will be fine and dandy

[median vigil]

That’s fine for now as long as it saturates the link

I’m going to slowly upgrade to am5 but need storage space first. Figure new ssd -> new PSU -> new motherboard and cpu -> new gpu

I might just go with a workstation card when I get to gpus though

[tidal geyser]

Am5 uses less power

[carmine yew]

What's your current PSU

[median vigil]

It’s 600w

[carmine yew]

doesn't mean much

[tidal geyser]

What model

[carmine yew]

"What kinda car you got?"

"It's a V6"

[random junco]

v5 sounds better

[median vigil]

I don’t know off the top of my head. It’s a 600w non modular PSU. I know it’s pretty close to at capacity.

I know getting a newer amd work station card would eat more power than it can put out.

[tidal geyser]

If its b or maybe even c tier i would feel safe enough to do 9600x and 5070

[median vigil]

I suspect it’s the most basic c tier psu possible. It’s acceptable but I don’t want to push it. Also vram would be more important for my upgrade.

If I’m spending cash I’d rather get a last gen card with lots of vram than a base current gen card.

[cosmic helm]

How my pc feels after randomly getting stuck on the bios splash screen

[tidal geyser]

New ram too

[median vigil]

Yeah I’m including the cost with the motherboard and cpu

[zinc matrix]

should i upgrade my rx 7900 xt to 5090

I just upgraded to a 4k oled

[median vigil]

If I went current gen I think I’d get a 9700 Pro because it has 32GB of vram aka the only current gpu with that much vram that doesn’t cost 2K

[tidal geyser]

Well if ya got the money why not

[carmine yew]

do you feel the 7900xt is lacking performance you want/need?

[tidal geyser]

One of the rare cases where amd will be a good option is something

[boreal vine]

Hmm What gpu should I buy for like 300 GBP

[carmine yew]

oh SNAP, plex got hackeded:

[boreal vine]

i've been out of the hobby for like a year now

[carmine yew]

you might find a 5060 if you're lucky?

[boreal vine]

used is okay also hi Tkitch long time no see

[carmine yew]

If you want to be smart: Save some extra $ and get a 16GB 5060 TI or 9060 XT

[boreal vine]

no shot i'm buying a 5060

[tidal geyser]

Dis is why we jellying around these parts

[boreal vine]

might save up for a 9070xt

[tidal geyser]

Ye

[boreal vine]

but I'm coming from rx 6800, not sure if that's worth it

[carmine yew]

well, at 300 that's the best you'll find

[boreal vine]

or convince work that I need it

[carmine yew]

4070's will still be way above that

[boreal vine]

yeah, agree 100%

[swift stream]

i don't like having blue eyes

[boreal vine]

man 6800 is such a hard card to upgrade from

[tidal geyser]

Golden hair and white skin?

Would have been treated very well by a certain country many years ago

https://tenor.com/view/silly-reaction-meme-stan-twitter-funny-stressed-gif-7713976294327515532

[mint umbra]

Think I will upgrade when next gen cards drop

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-flying-flying-cat-jumpscare-jump-gif-20372835

[mint umbra]

since I have a 7900xtx would have been like 4-5 years

[tidal geyser]

So in 2-3 years?

[mint umbra]

yeah

[tidal geyser]

Cool?

[mint umbra]

Idk if I beleive those rumors about a steam console

feel like there isnt much of market for a steam home console

[azure topaz]

the steam deck is already out

and was relatively a hit

[mint umbra]

home console not handheld

[balmy tapir]

do you mean the vr rumors?

[mint umbra]

handheld is completely diff market

[azure topaz]

one could make some mental leaps and bounds to say that the people buying a steam deck might be the same people to buy a console

[boreal vine]

I won't say yes immediately but I might be the same case

genuinely stopped caring about my PC for a while now

[balmy tapir]

not really, look at the switch. a lot of people just use that as a home console

[azure topaz]

^

i know people who bought a steamdeck instead of a laptop for gaming for some reason

and just use it plugged in on their desk

this is the same market

[boreal vine]

Same, they wanted it for portability and simplicity which I can't blame them for tbh

[azure topaz]

idk the point if youre using it as your main docking station

[boreal vine]

atleast I can play peak with them

[mint umbra]

most ppl who already have a pc aint gunna be buying it

[boreal vine]

atleast they didn't get a gaming laptop

[azure topaz]

what if their computer is slow

[mint umbra]

theres no point in a steam console if you have a gaming rig

[azure topaz]

what if you have a slow computer

and dont want/dont know how/theoretically dont have the money to upgrade

[tidal geyser]

Uh

[azure topaz]

theoretically because who knows how its gonna be priced

[cosmic helm]

I was wondering why my pc wasn’t working turns out an ssd was bent and coming unsoldered

[mint umbra]

I mean I highly doubt the steam machine will be cheap

[tidal geyser]

Steam streaming?

[mint umbra]

if its competeing with xbox and playstation

[tidal geyser]

Probs gonna be like 300

[azure topaz]

what if you have a last gen console but want to upgrade to something with more freedom than what theyve had for the last little while over an xbox series x

[balmy tapir]

why do people have an console and pc then?!

[tidal geyser]

Mate do people just not understand how locked down consoles are

[mint umbra]

for exclusives

[tidal geyser]

Gotta pay for online

[azure topaz]

i dont see the steam console being a big home success but i see it being better than their last attempt

[random junco]

people i know only have consoles to fit in lmfao

• they know nothing about computers

[boreal vine]

it would be a good buy for people who wants the console experience and cheap games

[tidal geyser]

What exclusives

[mint umbra]

I just dont think it will be nearly as sucessful as the steam deck

[boreal vine]

you're forgetting that the steam amchine, has steam

literally the best platform for games currently

[mint umbra]

plus steam deck came out at the perfect time

at the peak of covid

[boreal vine]

they said that about the steam deck as well

let valve cook

[mint umbra]

xboxs are going to be getting steam soon according to leask

[mint umbra]

The ones you cant play one pc

[tidal geyser]

We back

[tidal geyser]

/: and those are

[mint umbra]

death stranding 2 for example

ghost of yotei

astro bot

demon souls

bloodborne

[azure topaz]

there is a literal metric fuck ton of games on pc not on console

i do not think that even 10% of pc exclusive games will be playable on console steam

[mint umbra]

never said that wasnt true

I was just giving reason why somone would have pc and console

[azure topaz]

oh i read the reverse somehow in my brain

you may be stupid but this isnt one of those times ;O

[mint umbra]

Most games with controller support I can see being playable

[azure topaz]

(obviously a joke i dont hate you)

i mean yeah exclusives i wouldnt pick an xbox tho

gimme dat ps all the way if im gonna have a pc and console

alone id probably do just xbox

(assuming pc isnt an option)

[mint umbra]

Not really cuz the steam deck was tabbing into a new market basicly with pc handhelds where home consoles many ppl dont need a new one

[azure topaz]

i want to get a ps4 for this reason basically

[boreal vine]

did discord just go down?

[azure topaz]

let a floppa play god of war for cheap

[boreal vine]

i couldn't access LTT cord for a while lmao

[azure topaz]

im just waiting for ps4's to be easily exploitable (never)

[boreal vine]

PCC handhelds weren't new, aya and alot of other companies have been out when steam deck released

[latent tundra]

aint that already happened

[boreal vine]

steam deck succeeded because it had the steam store behind it

without it, it's just another handheld slop

[latent tundra]

it's XB1 that's still remain not hacked

[boreal vine]

https://tenor.com/view/floppasit-floppa-sitting-caracal-gif-24754620

[boreal vine]

I've just bought it on steam tbh

you can get mods for it and stuff it's neat

[latent gull]

if it hits the right price point it certainly can be. i mean, look at the success of the steamdeck and thats mostly down to it being cheap enough to get people interested

[odd marsh]

sucks because I think it'll have like a 7600 level gpu, they really should have gone NVIDIA as I think upscaling + FG is huge for laid back couch gaming (where you sit far enough away where upscaling is super benefical, and controller helps with FG input lag). But I can understand that AMD is probably easier to work with

[azure topaz]

i think it’s also just cause it’s flat cheaper

i don’t imagine the leading graphics tech giant has cheap rates

[azure topaz]

dev mode

[azure topaz]

it’s not readily done

requires certain older firmware versions. basically impossible to get unless you find someone’s dead cousins ps4 that hasn’t been turned on in a year and a half or something

xbox ones are easier. just buy dev mode. that’s why there’s no jb for them

they simply don’t need the jailbreak

[mint umbra]

I dont think steam console will be very cheap if its competing with the likes of ps5 ect

Since they will need higher end hardwear than they were using in the steam deck

[azure topaz]

i don’t think the goal is particularly for it to compete

[rose stream]

From the given leaks, it looks like pretty close-to-standard hardware that is in the mid-range.

[gleaming rose]

my discord is fucked up

[azure topaz]

because imo they’re not apart of the same market

[mint umbra]

I mean they will neeed similar perfomace

[rose stream]

So basically a modern day Alienware Alpha almost.

[gleaming rose]

Does it really need to? It's pretty much in a class of its own.

[azure topaz]

even the steam deck. it’s a full computer. that has to be the reason a lot of people ended up choosing it, i don’t think a steam console is going to end up being any different

it’s just a computer, and at the end of the day, you can do whatever you want on a computer

[mint umbra]

It needs enough perfomace to not have issues playing the same type of games as the other consoles

so Would need good enough hardwear to support that

which will make it more expensive

[azure topaz]

this is what i’m sayin

[thin plover]

outage

[gleaming rose]

My new cat just fell asleep on top of me and I need to take cookies out of the oven

By federal law, I'm pretty sure I have to let the cookies burn

[azure topaz]

the steam deck doesnt even play the same games as other hand helds

[thin plover]

should've gotten a smart oven

[azure topaz]

i dont think theyre too worried about the FPS when steam deck players are fine with <720p 30fps

[thin plover]

that can be turned off remotely

[mint umbra]

when It came out it had resonable perfoamce

perfomace*

[azure topaz]

you should see arma reforger on consoles

its geniunely 20FPS sometimes

[median vigil]

I did some more digging on those dramless ssds, it looks like they have a performance drop at 75-90% utilization depending on the drive… unless I waste money on more ram that might not be a good thing.

[azure topaz]

thats not even last gen

[thin plover]

I play on steamdeck I want 40fps minimum

[rose stream]

I mean, this "Steam Frame" will basically be a 7600 non-X with a 7600 non-XT pretty much if leaks turn out to be true this time around.

[azure topaz]

20fps on a ps5 with dynamic res

yeah thats a totally capable hw config

i dont like the fact that they insist on consistently going last gen

they have access to much better hardware

[rose stream]

I mean, so has Nintendo often times.

[azure topaz]

yes but nintendo makes sub 3w hand helds for children

ones meant for supposedly the latest and greatest in gaming

[rose stream]

They also did consoles that did the same thing almost, save for the N64.

[mint umbra]

plus this generation of consoles almost over

[azure topaz]

its not a console hardware wise that doesnt matter

[mint umbra]

its been like 6 years

[rose stream]

The N64 in fact was kind of the only one that used cutting edge hardware at it's time. All the others stuck with something just a gen old or such or at least was the cheapest they could get a hold of.

[mint umbra]

so newer hardwear should be used for a steam console

[azure topaz]

it just doesnt make any sense to me to use a 2.5 year old graphics card and cpu for a device thats not coming out until who knows when

xmas? so by then its 3 years?

[mint umbra]

Like if they making console dont want them using like 4 year old tech

[azure topaz]

already halfway through the hardware cycle by release?

[ivory mountain]

shit was down for 11 whole minutes

[azure topaz]

lmao

[mint umbra]

I think 2-3 years will be next console gen release

[azure topaz]

yes its cheap

[rose stream]

Well, this was Miyamoto's choice of strategy that they've kept for these past 2 decades and it's paid off for them I guess.

[azure topaz]

i mean yes but at the same time nintendos target is different than steams

nintendo makes card games and characters where i can count the polygons

[rose stream]

I do recall even the prototypes of their previous gen systems were in the millions too, so they had to be careful with the spending.

[limpid dune]

I mean, the PS5 is essentially a ryzen 3000 and an RX6800 non-XT

[mint umbra]

Valve prob going ot make steam deck 2 and new vr before this console

[azure topaz]

yes and that is seen by 20fps in arma reforger

[limpid dune]

yep

[latent gull]

the cat will make biscuits to make up for it

[rose stream]

Meanwhile with Valve, I think the way they want to go at it is to just... Use last gen where it counts, but not to the same extent as Nintendo, who sources 2 to 3 gens earlier hardware at times.

[azure topaz]

this is true

[limpid dune]

console gamers just accept lower framerates, it seems

[azure topaz]

i saw my sisters boyfriend playing arma at 20fps and gave him a computer the following week

[rose stream]

Well we all don't have true 60 hz. or 120 hz. tvs either and they all don't always think of getting true gaming monitors either.

[fallow moss]

All cleaned now the buyer coming pick it up

[azure topaz]

i could send these people a carrier pidgeon of the frames and theyd enjoy it

"HOLY SHIT HE LOOKED RIGHT"

[mint umbra]

most tvs do atleast 60

[limpid dune]

ofc, but if I'm on a 60hz screen I want all of those 60FPS... not 40

[azure topaz]

or 30

[mint umbra]

unless its like 10 years old

[azure topaz]

or...20 in a firefight

or like my xbox one playing apex season 3, 17fps in the dropship WITH DSR

[rose stream]

Which is even ironic we can't get that fully either.

[azure topaz]

guys wake up it is 2007 tomorrow

[hexed tapir]

What's up with the space bar

[mint umbra]

steam console wouldnt be able to play alot of mutiplayer titles as it will be on linux

[limpid dune]

the PS4 is impressive when you remember that it's an AMD laptop from 2011... but still, I just wish it had more BEANS

[mint umbra]

and alot of console players play alot of those titles

[azure topaz]

i mean yeah totally then you realise somehow they were building those motherfuckers at loss

[rose stream]

I do however appreciate what Valve's at least trying to deliver on something affordable with actually decent performance where it makes sense, since it's at least a Zen 3-RDNA 3 powered system, unlike the Zen 2-RDNA 2.5-ish designs we got in the PS5 and Xbox Series.

[azure topaz]

how are you building a 30fps box at a loss

[limpid dune]

wait the PS5 was released FIVE YEARS AGO?? I forgor

[azure topaz]

it just doesnt make sense

[mint umbra]

wasnt ps5 sold at a loss

[azure topaz]

yes probably

[limpid dune]

all consoles are sold at a loss, that's the point, they make the money back by selling expensive ahh games

[azure topaz]

most consoles are but i dont understand wtf is so fucking expensive

the hardware does not cost more than 750$ sony

[hexed tapir]

But they made a lot of cooler revisions to make a small profit

[rose stream]

For the PS5, the memory was pricey.

[azure topaz]

there is simply just no way a ryzen 5 3600 and a 6800xt costs that much money

[rose stream]

The cooling was sorta pricey to design than it was to produce.

[azure topaz]

its a fucking laptop heatsink

legitimately just buy one from someone else and adapt your design around that

[rose stream]

The chip was costly, but not by that much we'd expect so no excuse there.

[azure topaz]

become the amc's of consoles if it means you dont get 30fps at a loss

[limpid dune]

the PS4 is a hairdryer so ig it makes sense

watching Bringus install Arch to a PS4 was hilarious, I didn't realize it was that slow

[azure topaz]

they cheap out to the point to use LM as the thermal interface instead of designing a real cooler

[rose stream]

Honestly, I think they just mishandled the design work to production costs somewhat, then coupled with all the world trade conditions that happened between launch and now, they're trying to overcompensate themselves almost.

[azure topaz]

this is not an indicator of quality on a machine this caliber

[limpid dune]

I can't believe I'm saying this but I wish the PS4 had used AMD FX instead of Bobcat

[hexed tapir]

Good thing they don't market it standing straight up since over time the LM could leak out

[azure topaz]

oh totally not

[rose stream]

It would be a REALLY smart move though if they figured it out before the launch and then released us something that is either as cheap as the PS5's true msrp or at least lands between both the launch model and the Pro model in terms of price.

[azure topaz]

even on both sides, you cant place consoles how you want anymore otherwise theyll blow up lol

[rose stream]

'Cause right now, Nintendo gave us a system that costs more than actually should've, period, and everyone blew up over it, even if they were willing to pay for it anyway.

[azure topaz]

yeah

i understand how things like the x360 and ps3 were sold at a loss

[rose stream]

We're expecting the PS6s to cost more than that. So it would be a huge solid if they beat that expectation by selling for less.

[azure topaz]

it would be cool

but considering the directiont heyre actively taking

(increasing pricing on a 4 year old console)

thats not happening

suck my dih sony

[latent gull]

it worked for steam on the deck, they could just do it agai\n with a console to try and get the ps5/xbox crowd

[azure topaz]

this might wokr but what do they do in the future when they wanna drop a second revision and get the same number of people in for a great price but cant price it that good

[rose stream]

Meanwhile, I'm still consistently reminded of how I'm not in the console game still, still wish I was, and had a system that price-wise was better than Nintendo's.

[azure topaz]

i dont think computer competitiors should be sold at a loss like consoles merely to attract customers

[latent gull]

dont need to as much, just get marketshare, sell games

[nova sparrow]

Oh glorious day, I was able to spoof my Nvme drive

[latent gull]

sure, but if its a console, is it a computer competitor?

[cunning roost]

hi all

[nova sparrow]

EAC cant fk with me now

[azure topaz]

its a computer competitior because i can build an equally functioning computer now

[rose stream]

Nintendo's been doing it too with the old Switch.

[azure topaz]

i should not be able to build a computer of the same quality/performance for the same price as a future steam console

[latent gull]

yeah but its not for you in that case, its for people who will buy a console over a pc every time no matter what

[azure topaz]

or if i can, it should be like 50-100$ cheaper

[rose stream]

I still want my multi-cored RISC-V system with an Arc igpu in it...

[latent gull]

the people who bought the... what, 800$? ps5 pro

[azure topaz]

people like that dont even know what steam is

[latent gull]

thats the point

[azure topaz]

to me the steam console is not for those people

[latent gull]

make a console competitor, get them on steam

[azure topaz]

because the steamdeck wasnt for those people. or even the handheld people 😭

it was a hybrid mishmash of all 3

[latent gull]

the steamdeck was absolutely for handheld people, but that was such a niche market at the time

[azure topaz]

its still a computer. thats a big selling point on their part

[rose stream]

Know one of those kinds of people and eventually, he decided he didn't want his SteamDeck anymore.

[latent gull]

yeah but the ps5 and the xbox whatever are basically just pcs at this point

[azure topaz]

no theyre not they dont do half the shit i do daily

[latent gull]

for a gamer they are

[rose stream]

What was funny was that when he first got it, I joked that he now used Arch (btw) and his comment low-key sounded like imminent panic while admitting to a lack of computer literacy. Lmao.

[azure topaz]

this is why i dont want a steam deck

its really why i dont want any hand held

its a compromise on all fronts and for me that dont make any sense

[rose stream]

Agreed.

[cunning roost]

i love my ally x

[azure topaz]

i get a shit screen with hardware that cant run at native res while also being forced to hold and charge it and i get no keyboard like a laptop

while a laptop has every benefit besides weight

[rose stream]

I would love a Steam OS powered handheld. The problem is the SteamDeck is not really the one I want and most of the handhelds have a controller layout I'm just not comfortable using.

[azure topaz]

yeah

i want to try the newer ones

780M sounds like fun to try

and new 7600S?

[rose stream]

And the one I might be comfortable with, which is that one out of Ayaneo with swappable control modules... It's already stupid expensive before counting they are strictly out of China.

[cunning roost]

@azure topaz u should try the lenovo legion go s with steam os

[azure topaz]

thats what people say is one of the better ones

that and the errrm i think MSI claw surprisingly? i dont remember

[rose stream]

I also don't trust anything of that sort with motorized locks. That's a reliability issue later I would hate to be the one to try and find a fix for.

[azure topaz]

but definitely the lenovo seems to be one of the most common hand held thing

[cunning roost]

@azure topaz the newer claw is meant to run better

[boreal vine]

Didnt the claw use intel cpus?

[azure topaz]

i think so yes

[boreal vine]

Dont really hear much about it

[azure topaz]

hence the surprisingly

cause the new intel igpus are pretty decent lowk'

[cunning roost]

@boreal vine theres one with the z2e

[boreal vine]

Yeah tbf

Intel igpu lowkey slaps

[boreal vine]

Im out of the loop for that one

Ive officiwlly spent more on boards than pc

[azure topaz]

somewhat

[clear canyon]

what a bad day to have eyes

[boreal vine]

If i didnt i couldve had a 5090 by now

[azure topaz]

i saw a video that on low end cpus (and not just like bad, but for the platform, so think 7600) is going to benchmark significantly slower than if X3D for CPU during testing because of the overhead

but that was also during the point in time where their drivers were really not good

i would argue that nvidias driver overhead might actually be more of a problem cause its consistent between the vendors

[kind pilot]

Anyone got advice for cleaning my monitor I just used a microfibre cloth but there’s a lot of smudgy water marks left on the screen

[granite comet]

use one microfiber dabbed in isopropyl alcohol and another dry one

[rose stream]

Though with the thought of driver overhead in mind, I have to wonder if that's much of an issue with Linux kernel drivers and MESA drivers for Intel gpus.

[boreal vine]

DO NOT USE ALCOHOL

[odd marsh]

your monitors manual will have cleaning instructions please follow those

[boreal vine]

itll kill the coating just mist water preferrably deionized

[kind pilot]

It’s like 5 years old

[odd marsh]

you can find the manual online then

So idk what it is anymore and I was using microfibre and distilled water

is AM5 different than AM4 for that?

[grizzled frost]

Once i upgrade my laptop, and main pc gpu

[grizzled frost]

also how the hell do you have 16 gpus, and more importantly, why

[empty quartz]

that sounds like a CPU thing

its your CPU

[azure topaz]

oh hi

[gleaming rose]

I don't understand why they put such fast, soldered RAM in laptops.

[azure topaz]

wdym

like LPDDR4X/5X?

[empty quartz]

Reliabiliy

[gleaming rose]

What is anybody gonna do with 8,000 megatransfer per second LPDDR5X?

[azure topaz]

the same thing anyone is going to do with 8000mhz ram

[gleaming rose]

waste money?

[azure topaz]

sure until you realise its like 20$ more for an 8000 kit

its a benefit of the form factor

[gleaming rose]

ah

[azure topaz]

sodimm memory cannot use fast chips reliably

[gleaming rose]

It's a shame it's not even unified, cause it's fast enough.

[azure topaz]

the highest speed ive seen is 6000mhz on a sodimm

and thats a very specific kingston sodimm with probably a very optimised pcb

my bad theyre 6400

either way you probably just wont reach much higher on a sodimm

[gleaming rose]

but like why 8000mt/s

[azure topaz]

hynik

[grizzled frost]

yeah 6400 is about the highest you can get

[grizzled frost]

much memory bandwidth

[azure topaz]

required for apu chip

[gleaming rose]

does it even make a difference

[azure topaz]

for it to get disabled by the dedicated

[gleaming rose]

I guess that would be what Intel is calling an NPU

[gleaming rose]

exactly

[azure topaz]

apu as in the igpu

[gleaming rose]

If the two are linked, that would be good. Use the system RAM to run local LLMs with the NPU and igpu

[azure topaz]

NPU is a different thing

[limpid dune]

sodimm could but that would use a lot of power and would suck on laptops

[gleaming rose]

not that I care because I won't ever do this

[azure topaz]

ram draws like no power

[limpid dune]

laptop iGPUs need that

[azure topaz]

even at 1.65 volts it draws less than 10w dimm

[gleaming rose]

Even though this laptop has a dedicated graphics card?

[azure topaz]

2-5w out of your sodimms sometimes doesnt matter

[limpid dune]

10W per dimm would ruin laptops, laptops are going for ~1W per dimm

[azure topaz]

they just dont have the required signal integrity for that

[azure topaz]

and laptops, nor is an actual kit rated for 8000 going to run 1.65v

thats my point.

[limpid dune]

all laptop CPUs have huge GPUs, even the ones with dGPUs. I dunno why they do that, I guess gaming laptop sales don't represent enough of a market to make small-iGPU-slow-ram SKUs

[limpid dune]

*except for the SKUs that are pulled from desktops

and those ones have horrible idle power anyway, so they dgaf about the memory power 😅

[worldly mason]

Is 550w enough for my i5-12400f and 3070???

[limpid dune]

pretty much anything

[placid belfry]

what modern cpu would you pair with a 5700xt

i rephrased

[placid belfry]

ok anything cool

[worldly mason]

Anything aslong its not a really old cpu

[placid belfry]

i just said modern

[limpid dune]

still, pretty much anything. I had an rx 6600 with my i7-3770K and it worked reasonably well, although I overclocked that thing

similar perf to an RX5700XT

[solar moat]

overclocking needed

[placid belfry]

what if i run game on med settings

cap fps

gg wp

[limpid dune]

even a 1000-series ryzen will work there, the bigger question is; if you're playing sim games that will need a bigger CPU anyway

[formal sonnet]

Oh neat. What's the make and model number on the sticker on the drive?

[placid belfry]

the implication behind "modern" implies cpu is stronger than the gpu being the "5700xt"

by far margins

[limpid dune]

how about "any thing Ryzen or 9th gen or better"?

[placid belfry]

gg wp

[worldly mason]

Question is how much is your budget

What motherboard platform do you have if you have one

[placid belfry]

rn limited future unlimited

[worldly mason]

Ye limited but whats the amount

[placid belfry]

there's a 700$ bundle of 9800x3d at micro center

[placid belfry]

IT'S OVER

it's done

it will come to pass

[limpid dune]

you can def pair a 9800X3D with it, but like... why?

[worldly mason]

If you can afford it why not

[limpid dune]

if you're going to go that modern, go with a 9950X, you won't be able to appreciate X3D with that GPU

or a 9700X and save a couple pennies

[gleaming rose]

hokay

[placid belfry]

because ill be able to afford a good gpu in two months and rn i need a cpu so do i buy a mid cpu to match my gpu or do i buy op cpu now and in two months buy good gpu? i'm doing the latter

[limpid dune]

ahh gotcha

[worldly mason]

Just buy the better one then......

[limpid dune]

in that case, yeah. Ignore the 5700XT and just plan out the future build

[grizzled frost]

buy good cpu now, wait to buy good gpu later

[gleaming rose]

this a good photo for a listing?

other than the discord compression

[grizzled frost]

pigtails on the gpu…

[gleaming rose]

i have other perspectives too

[gleaming rose]

i genuinely have no clue what i'm supposed to do

[placid belfry]

ye

[placid belfry]

yea

[sinful cobalt]

is it just me or is that a pigtail from psu to x2 gpu

[gleaming rose]

it might be?

idfk it said PCIe

[sinful cobalt]

use dedicated 1:1 cables

avoid using pigtails if possible

[gleaming rose]

what the helly

is it like actually a big deal

i guess if i need to sell it it is

[sinful cobalt]

we’ve seen situations where the cable burned due to using pigtail cable

it's a 330w gpu

oh fuck i need to shower

And effectively upgraded my CPU for $80 and have 20-40% better performance in most of my games

For reference, 5700x3d goes for 250-300 rn

[amber tendon]

Yeah the 8 pin PCIE connectors are only supposed to handle 150w per cable

[raw plover]

Oh mb, sorry

[glass nexus]

hold on a sec lemme look

[bronze scroll]

Would it be bad idea to buy 1 oled monitor and 1 led monitor for dual screen set up?

[glass nexus]

depends

[glass nexus]

seagate Barracuda 500gb SAT HDD 7200 RPM fimrware kc45

[bronze scroll]

Mind if i ask how depends?

[formal sonnet]

That's not the model number - model will be something like "ST500DM002"

[glass nexus]

what are you putting on the LED monitor?

[glass nexus]

ahhh okay mb hold on

[glass nexus]

wait... thats the num on here tho...

[formal sonnet]

You mean "ST500DM002" is the exact model number on your drive? (I just pulled that number as a random example.)

[glass nexus]

yup i see the S/N and then after the S/N it has that number

[formal sonnet]

lol nice. what a coincidence. Anywho, that's not a 4.5" drive - that's a normal 3.5" drive. I was ever so curious because I've never ever heard of a 4.5" HDD before, that's all.

[glass nexus]

i measured it... its def 4.5"

i can send a photo with a comparison with my 2.5" drive if youd like

[clear canyon]

you can send me a pic of ur banking info and ur ID ;)

[bronze scroll]

Mostlikely putting video like youtube or movies and etc and discord and few pthers. Oled for mostly gaming sometimes youtube.

[glass nexus]

perfect

[glass nexus]

fuck off

[bronze scroll]

I was more worried about the color dif and etc

[clear canyon]

bruh, its called a joke

[glass nexus]

there will be a dif but its up to you rlly

[glass nexus]

im not laughing

[clear canyon]

ok mr stick up his ass

[glass nexus]

asking for my bank info and a pic of my id is a joke? so funny

[bronze scroll]

I was also thinking about 2 oled or ultra wide with dual screen xD

[clear canyon]

its been a joke for a while, wdym

[glass nexus]

that just isnt funny, ik its a joke, i just dont find it funny

[formal sonnet]

So um... yeah their cases are not literally 2.5" and 3.5" in size. "The measurement, such as 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch, refers to the approximate diameter of the internal data platters, not the physical size of the drive itself. "

[glass nexus]

ultra wide might put some more strain on your gpu tho

[clear canyon]

you could of easily said something different, instead of being an ass

[bronze scroll]

Ic

[glass nexus]

how come my 2.5" measures exactly 2.5, same with my 3.5" and the 4.5 is bigger then my 3.5 so idk bro

[pale flint]

lmao

[formal sonnet]

3.5" drive and 2.5" drive dimensions, side by side.

[glass nexus]

your joke was still mad outta pocket

[clear canyon]

only thing out of pocket is you bud

[glass nexus]

bold of you to assume i understand this

[glass nexus]

that was outta pocket asf

made 0 sense

[clear canyon]

clearly not, you just have no sense of humor

getting offended over a simple joke is crazy

[pale flint]

my keyboard knows everything

[glass nexus]

"only thing out of pocket is you bud" that is outta pocket asf

[glass nexus]

lmao

DO NOT REDEEM IT!!!

[clear canyon]

[pale flint]

[vestal folio]

Game exchange

Whoever bought it in clearly didnt know what it was 😭

[carmine yew]

Damn

[vestal folio]

And I got the display on Walmart

[clear canyon]

ah, you found a random pc item on stupid cheap sale that iv seen ppl post about, awesome

[vestal folio]

Basically

supposedly this version gets hella cheap randomly

[sinful cobalt]

Am currently for once using the B580 build myself

[vestal folio]

hell yeah, im rocking a 9700k on z390 at the moment but I am looking to modernize my platform

I originally had an rtx 2080 but it wasn't running properly and I sold it for parts/ kinda working for $150 and got a LP 6400 just so I could game for 20 bucks on marketplace

[placid belfry]

is this good is this bad

[sinful cobalt]

I cant wait for RDNA 5% market share and RTX +60% more frame gen

[clear canyon]

75%

https://tenor.com/view/tradeoffer-trade-offer-gif-22327168

[sinful cobalt]

wheres the 75% from? Its RTX 60 series next

[clear canyon]

they gonna make it FG 6x

[sinful cobalt]

which still matches up with 60% more FG

kinda

why do I have to study a module using a fucking i7 3960x as an example

[vestal folio]

Frame gen 10x ?

[clear canyon]

thats too high, that will be for the super refresh

[vestal folio]

3rd gen i7 goes crazy for how dirt cheap you can find them

[vestal folio]

900 refresh rate gaming?

[clear canyon]

yes

[vestal folio]

64 Gb vram gpus?

na. 8-

[clear canyon]

I wish

[hazy nexus]

Is it worth to buy a 5070 ti from Amazon cuz if i order from USA its 750 dolars and in Poland that start at 1000 will there be an warranty or somthing or will it be removed cuz i ordered from usa?

[vestal folio]

also can anyone tell me whats up with the weird viewing angle on my g5? the bottom looks weird af ngl- ( refurb gambling moment )

[clear canyon]

you will have tariffs

[hazy nexus]

How much?

[sinful cobalt]

e

[clear canyon]

idk, gotta look it up but its high

[charred knot]

would it be a bad idea to put my 240 mm aio radiator onn the rear 2 120 exhauust fan

[vestal folio]

nvm I adjusted the settings and it doesn't look like hot ass anymore

[hazy nexus]

I dont think there will be any tarrifs cuz im buying from USA not into usa

[sinful cobalt]

propaganda

[vestal folio]

propaganda

[clear canyon]

looks to be a 15% export tariff to poland

[winged sky]

Not terrible but all the hot air from the rest of the case will get sucked through

[hazy nexus]

So how do it work when i order from it says it costs 750 dolars do when i order will they text me that i have to pay Like 130 more?

[vestal folio]

pretty sure it would be integrated into shipping cost or actual cost of the product

but if you order something online retail they shouldn't charge you again after the fact

[hazy nexus]

Im on US version of Amazon and i look at 5070ti its just 750 and it says shopping to Poland so i dont think they are any tarrifs

[placid belfry]

IF YOU OC YOU WILL DAMAGE THE CPU

DON'T DO IT

[clear canyon]

what

[sinful cobalt]

i will slap ur balls off

[placid belfry]

[clear canyon]

[pale flint]

goof

[sinful cobalt]

whatever

[rose stream]

L.M.A.O. XD

[placid belfry]

did you go through check out and add your address

i doubt that number is staying the same

[placid belfry]

do you guys think 5070ti will hit 500$ in the next 2 months because of the sales and all or nah

[clear canyon]

idk

[sinful cobalt]

not at all

thats a 33% discount

[placid belfry]

it's already at 750 no holiday price

that means holiday discount is nothing special

they'll probably up it in october and drop it in november

hax

[clear canyon]

a trend that is scummy

[placid belfry]

bro i actually paid 10$ for these on amazon i feel scammed

[placid belfry]

fr

[clear canyon]

😔

[placid belfry]

i swear summer of 2024, i saw same suction phone holder with auto adjust and mag charge on amazon for 35$ on temu for like 12$
same every single mm and same brand

amazon is becoming a scam fest

specially for tech stuff

[royal loom]

Taking a intel core 2 duo on random locations today:wiener neustadt (in Austria)

[cunning frigate]

AliExpress and Alibaba is so cheap

Got my keyboard for 15 dollars lol fully hot swappable

[clear canyon]

pc hardware, keyboards are super low ngl

[cunning frigate]

90% of stuff you see on Amazon is dropshipped so

[placid belfry]

is that true, or were you just trying to find excuse to take photo of the car

[placid belfry]

gg

[cunning frigate]

Unless you’re going for name brands I wouldn’t buy from there if you’re getting something mundane like a GPU sag supporter

[royal loom]

I was serious and the car is moving so I took a pic of it on accident

[placid belfry]

i learned my lesson the hard way

[clear canyon]

I have these coming in soon:

[placid belfry]

[cunning frigate]

I have blank keycaps but I like the lettering on them

[clear canyon]

the big one after mods was like 50 bucks and the small one was 80 as it needed more mods

[cunning frigate]

You’re left handed?

[placid belfry]

[clear canyon]

[placid belfry]

for fps games
