edge, continuing chromes legacy

[serene eagle]

if im not wrong XMP cant be enabled/disabled in a optiplex?

[serene eagle]

gng why edge

[serene eagle]

u tryna fill up points?

[keen loom]

wtf is gng

[serene eagle]

gang-> gng

aka bro

[keen loom]

why shorten by one letter

[serene eagle]

i have become used to it sadly

[jaunty apex]

Wait how the fuck is librewolf only using 15mb ram thats not right

[ivory mountain]

edge isnt even a bad browser lol, just intrusive as hell cause it keeps reinstalling itself

[keen loom]

I use edge cause I have all the telemetry blocked, it's just chrome but still has adblock

[serene eagle]

i used to use edge back in my old roblox days

for point grinding

[keen loom]

I haven't played roblox since like 2010, can't believe it's still around

[serene eagle]

now i end up with roblox being sued and UAE restricting chats in roblox

[jaunty apex]

With the things going on the past 4 years? Me neither

[azure topaz]

im legally allowed to talk aboput ram now that you mentioned speed

[ivory mountain]

its fun but now we have irresponsible parents blaming roblox (like 50% their fault) for their child getting weird dms (that the parents can disable via settings)

[keen loom]

good, roblox is real messed up these days, it had a pedo problem when I was a kid

[jaunty apex]

Its worse now. I didnt see much of that as a kid surprisingly

[ivory mountain]

bros ram has 0v

[azure topaz]

yeah it breaks physics

[keen loom]

I hate you and I want to be you

[azure topaz]

what do you know about that

[ivory mountain]

nothing i use 1.43v

holy fuck

[azure topaz]

yeah get on 0v bro turn the pc off

[serene eagle]

i have never been involved into those typa stuff. i used to just grind every game and spend enormous amnts of money whenever i got gifts

[keen loom]

I'll probably tune my RAM once next gen ryzen comes out and I upgrade

[azure topaz]

that 8200 was at like 1.65

or some bullshit, it was just a screenie anyways so dont look to deep into it

[keen loom]

I've spent $40 on microtransaction total in my entire life

[jaunty apex]

I have the desire to upgrade but I have literally no reason to

I just want to

[azure topaz]

altho here take some data on 8k vs 6k tuned just from me

[jaunty apex]

I want to build more pcs damnit

[keen loom]

same, my only reason is I make good money and I'm not having kids, so I'm just gonna upgrade my shit for fun

[ivory mountain]

ppl in my tiktok comments said ram cooling was useless

[keen loom]

I mean, it is unless you're pushing it hard

[azure topaz]

those people are useless

[serene eagle]

soo i spent 75x more than u on roblox 💔

[keen loom]

yiiiiiiiikes

[serene eagle]

i feel ashamed now

[azure topaz]

a high end gpu can make XMP unstable with heat

youd be surprised

[keen loom]

that's like a cheap car

[ivory mountain]

can confirm with my 450w 6900xt

[serene eagle]

Can XMP be controlled on a optiplex?

[jaunty apex]

Yeah also not having kids I decided. My brain is acting like it wants kids which is kinda weird but I dont. Things would have to change DRASTICALLY for me to change my mind on that

[azure topaz]

no

[serene eagle]

can i change my motherboard?

[azure topaz]

now imagine a 600w 5090 with passthrough vomiting all the heat on your dimms

[azure topaz]

not worth it for the computer

[keen loom]

I already got ✂️ 2 years ago

[azure topaz]

and probably not regardless

[ivory mountain]

i cant imagine it cause i dont have a 5090

[keen loom]

played spyro during the procedure

[azure topaz]

if youre buying anything pc related just get newer parts

[azure topaz]

NOT new parts but newer

[keen loom]

I have my 9070XT tuned down to 270w so I don't gotta worry about it

[serene eagle]

yea but i wanna upgrade my ssd aswell

do i get a cloner for it?

[keen loom]

best decision of my life

[jaunty apex]

Damn lmao. Yea idk if Ill do that, but I might go barren due to other means anyway

[azure topaz]

macrium will do it for free

[serene eagle]

who?

[azure topaz]

and thats fine, upgrade the SSD, dont buy anything you cant carry on to a future rig

[keen loom]

it was like $50 through insurance so I figured why not

[azure topaz]

a software

[serene eagle]

oh

how do i do it, any video?

[azure topaz]

so if ytou have DDR3 ram, dont buy more DDR3

[jaunty apex]

Aw shit 50 buckaroos to get snipped? lets go! XD

[azure topaz]

if you for some reason have a DDR5 optiplex id say go for it but you dont lets be real

[keen loom]

right? took a week off work and beat the first part of the ff7 remake

[azure topaz]

if you have DDR4 i could understand buying more ram and you could carry that on to am4 or lga 1700

[azure topaz]

its a popular software, youll find one pretty easy im sure

[serene eagle]

lemme see what i have

[azure topaz]

macrium reflect is the full name

[ivory mountain]

buy 13th gen for that beautiful mem controller 🔥

[jaunty apex]

Such a wild decision though XD I mean Ive thought about it but yikes

[serene eagle]

idk if its DDR4 or wat

[keen loom]

cloning software is great when you don't have a dying drive.

[azure topaz]

its DDR4 probably

[serene eagle]

i dont think my drive is dying

[azure topaz]

6th gen? 7th gen?

[ivory mountain]

why is bro using 3/4 dimms

[ivory mountain]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1331519448657432637/1409636797973139600/togif.gif

[serene eagle]

wat

[azure topaz]

i didnt even do that on purpose but that was funny

[azure topaz]

what cpu in it bro

[serene eagle]

i7

[azure topaz]

dont do this to me

[ivory mountain]

ur making us 2008 kids look bad bro

[keen loom]

it was definitely wild lmao, I caught a lot of flack from extended family, just cause I didn't tell them until a year later lol

[azure topaz]

what fucking i7 bro

[keen loom]

social media does that already

[serene eagle]

9700

[azure topaz]

surprisingly okay!

[ivory mountain]

💔

[serene eagle]

it does not support anything better

[jaunty apex]

Yeah usually when I see someone say i7 its 4th gen or older lmao

[azure topaz]

good thing you dont have a cpu upgrade option without buying a new computer

[keen loom]

I gotta be a boomer and take a jab at younger generations

[keen loom]

I have a 4th gen i3 behind me. man are they utter crap

[azure topaz]

nope

[serene eagle]

exactly, but i am planning in 2 yrs

[ivory mountain]

i was gonna say ur gonna die sooner but thats not even true anymore now

[serene eagle]

to upgrade

[azure topaz]

yep so just cookup until then

[jaunty apex]

I too blame social media for a lot of problems youngins have these days

[azure topaz]

maybe consider a GPU upgrade if you dont have one/can fit one

[serene eagle]

bet

[keen loom]

my family lives into their 90s, I wish I would

[azure topaz]

thats something you can carry forward and will definitely get you gaming rn

[keen loom]

yeah, discord is my only "social media" that I use

[jaunty apex]

I personally have problems because of social media and I dont even use instagram (anymore)

[serene eagle]

i have a 1650

[azure topaz]

aight thatll do for now

[serene eagle]

yea

[azure topaz]

enjoy the pc a new ssd is a good plan

[serene eagle]

i justneed storage

[keen loom]

to keep my attention span ok I mainly watch youtube videos 45 minutes or longer

[azure topaz]

im not even old 💔

[ivory mountain]

i watch anime or like those dashcam story shits i forgot hsi name, its like beware with us or some shit idk

[jaunty apex]

I dont watch short form content at all. I had tiktok for a minute but I hardly used it at all.

[azure topaz]

two thousand and six

[ivory mountain]

uncle

[keen loom]

check my discord join date lmao

[azure topaz]

krunkle

[ivory mountain]

i dont wanna die

[serene eagle]

2015 type shi

[jaunty apex]

I ublock zapped out shorts from the youtube website, though I use grayjay or freetube usually

[azure topaz]

ILLEGAL

[serene eagle]

i joined discord on 2016

[azure topaz]

i have an older account than this one that joined in 2016

[jaunty apex]

illegal

[serene eagle]

was illegal

[ivory mountain]

bro joined discord when i was 8

[azure topaz]

but i dont use it.. even tho its older than my account now its not my main

@azure sorrel this is that account

[keen loom]

I've had the same discord account for 10 years now

[serene eagle]

even i was 8

[keen loom]

well, 10 years in 10 days

[jaunty apex]

You need to be 13 to sign up here lol

[keen loom]

I joined discord when I was 18

[serene eagle]

im 17 now

soo 🙂

[jaunty apex]

Though Id argue people under 16 shouldnt be here at all

[serene eagle]

agreed

[keen loom]

discord came out when I was 18. My friend group used to use mumble and skype

[ivory mountain]

saying ts like u werent 16 last year

[azure topaz]

500 cigarettes

[keen loom]

we used skype until microsoft bought it then switched to mumble

[serene eagle]

but when i was 8-12, i didnt do anything major on discord, only dms with friend for fortnite

and VC

[serene eagle]

https://tenor.com/view/shhh-shush-quiet-gif-8316632

[keen loom]

I've had a drivers license for 12 years

[azure topaz]

i have computer

[serene eagle]

im applying for one next month

lets see what happens

[keen loom]

I got my first computer 14 years ago when I was 14

[serene eagle]

W

[keen loom]

and it was 10 years old when I got it

[azure topaz]

i got my first computer before i was a year old if we wanna be technical

but id say my first pc was when i was like 7 or 8 and could use it

family computer goated

[serene eagle]

my dad got a computer the day i was born, soo when i grew up, i used to use it

[azure topaz]

yeah

[serene eagle]

fr

[azure topaz]

i went the bad route but got the good ending

[serene eagle]

wdym

[azure topaz]

not chronically online just chronically geeked

[keen loom]

I beat ocarina of time on my first pc, which had a 1.3GHz pentium 4, 256mb of RDRAM, a Soundblaster Live soundcard, and a GeForce 2MX

[serene eagle]

[azure topaz]

i have autism toward computer i dont have it toward brainrot

yeah basically me

[serene eagle]

brainrot is pretty bad tbh

i never found out how ppl liked it

[keen loom]

brain rot has always existed, people watched youtube poops when I was younger

[serene eagle]

yesterday my neighbor's kids, way younger than me were screaming about Italian brainrot

[jaunty apex]

I got my first laptop in 2015 iirc? 2016?

I didnt get to use the dell dimension very much

[azure topaz]

my first personal computer was a laptop yeah

[serene eagle]

cocomelon brainrot?

[keen loom]

my first setup in 2011

[azure topaz]

dell inspiron E5420? i think

[azure topaz]

it had a T6670 and an NVS of sorts

[jaunty apex]

Always was into tech though, i partially blame ben 10 for it. Gray matter and Upgrade were like influences to me basically I guess? idk lol

[azure topaz]

my bad its a latitude for sure

[jaunty apex]

Your 2011 setup almost looks like my now setup

Except I have even more clutter

[serene eagle]

my first laptop was a HP 8470

[keen loom]

my second setup, core 2 duo e8200, 4gb of RAM, and an r7 240

[azure topaz]

i think it was a dell latitiude D420?

[keen loom]

my first laptop was an Acer C710 Chromebook in 2011

[serene eagle]

pass me sum ginger ale

[azure topaz]

but im not sure, i cant find one with NVS garphics cand a T6670

[jaunty apex]

Id post pics but its embarrassing how cluttered it is rn. I dont have space for stuff.

[serene eagle]

[ivory mountain]

this game good?

[keen loom]

my current

[azure topaz]

it was a dell latitude D630 with a T7500 and NVS 140M

[serene eagle]

hell yea much better

[azure topaz]

there is a youtube video somewhere of me playing golden eye thru an emulator on it

[keen loom]

and for my laptop I have a Framework 13 with a Ryzen 7 7840u and 32gb of RAM

[azure topaz]

i have a surface now

[jaunty apex]

Also was on skype before discord though. I think I was 14 when I joined discord. And I was very immature lmao.

[serene eagle]

framework good?

[keen loom]

the difference is back then I made under 10% of what I make now

[serene eagle]

oh

[keen loom]

absolutely love it. Expensive, but build quality is fantastic

[serene eagle]

gud gud

[azure topaz]

my shit ass computer that i dont have good or current pictures of

[keen loom]

yeah, the 2 5:4 monitors were free from my job at Panera at the time

[azure topaz]

is this meta?

[jaunty apex]

Love those keycaps. And wallpaper

[keen loom]

my desktop is pretty slid looking inside

[azure topaz]

the most interesting part of my computer is the stupid motherboard thats tiny

[keen loom]

big same, but it's funny have $40 keycaps on a $300 board+numpad setup

[azure topaz]

otherwise its just a computer

[keen loom]

my server is just bleh cause the case was purchased in high school in like 2014

[jaunty apex]

lol the free ssd

[keen loom]

3 of em

[azure topaz]

not my photo but in fact my server

[keen loom]

the case does not lend itself to the length of power supply cables I have. It's a Corsair 780T super tower

back in 2015 this same case had my main pc in it, which was originally an FX-8320 oc'd to 5ghz and 2 R9 390s

it quickly got swapped to an i7 5820k, 32gb of DDR4, and a single R9 390. CPU, mobo, and RAM came out to $400 each, DDR4 was brand new at the time and it was only 2666mhz

[azure topaz]

almost half the speed of the final d4 system i had, wild

[keen loom]

I ended up dumping that for an X58 system running a Xeon X5650 at 4.5GHz and 24gb of DDR3, and I think an RX 480 or 580. I did music production for a semester in college before losing hearing in my left ear and the X99 setup would always crash rendering out a track

[jaunty apex]

My first built PC was almost an Athlon x4 x50 BE, but I ended up building with Zen about a year or 2 later I think with the Athlon 220GE. Both were a far cry from the celeron n3050 laptop I had been running

[keen loom]

I would boil the X5650's for 3 months at a time, making them draw 300w, and swap them out with another one cause they were $20 a pop

I've been using Ryzen since they came out. I actually got to play with a Ryzen 1800x about 2 weeks before launch cause I helped with an OC competition we were having for micro center employees when I worked there. We had the highest cpu score of anyone

but we were the only ones who used a single gpu so we lost

got 4.2GHz on an 1800x at 1.5V because we didn't really know the safe voltages at the time

[jaunty apex]

Hell yeah. This channel kinda made me more aware of the finer details, Ryzen was just coming out (and god I wanted to invest in them as a kid) and I screwed around on PCPartPicker a lot before I finally got to build one

[jaunty apex]

Aw damn.

[keen loom]

it was a rough ass launch, so many dead Crosshair VI Hero boards due to the damn soc voltage

I bought one open box 6 months later for $120 cause no one trusted the boards after that

[jaunty apex]

I had full faith in them, I mean even back then I saw HUGE potential for them knowing how bad Bulldozer was. And I barely knew what Bulldozer was back then

[keen loom]

sorry, $167

[keen loom]

I sold my AMD stock at $9 a share after buying at $4

I had 25 shares

[valid laurel]

what motherboard should i get?

[keen loom]

do you need b850?

[high elm]

cheapest one that satisfies your needs

which also has a vrm heatsink

[ivory mountain]

will never understand boards that are nearly $320 usd that have basic power stages and usb's

[high elm]

cuz its white 💔 💔

[keen loom]

I remember when good boards were $150

[ivory mountain]

yep

[high elm]

£300 B850 is a scam

if youre gonna do oc get the Crosshair

[unique olive]

None of the important specs are in this image so just get whatever you want infact get the asrock b850 and pair it with a x3d chip

[azure topaz]

they are, hes just picking expensive ones

[high elm]

cuz theyre white 💔 💔 💔

[valid laurel]

aorus elite? why dat one?

[azure topaz]

mhm

[keen loom]

because mobo makes almost no difference

[azure topaz]

cause its the cheapest one that satisfies your needs

[azure topaz]

past a certain point id say

cheap ass boards are still cheap ass boards

[valid laurel]

by 99p lol

[azure topaz]

but past like yknow 120-150$ its the same

[tidal geyser]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/718977103126724612/1068551577406816286/aekljkwedfgt.gif

[azure topaz]

for normal people anyways

[keen loom]

if the VRMs are cooled that's good enough imo

[azure topaz]

proper slots and lane allocation is important

[high elm]

do you need what the £300 one offers?

which is likely just a +2 70a vrm over the £180 one

[azure topaz]

"idk"

[valid laurel]

the £300 is more for asthetics of the back ports

[keen loom]

most people aren't gonna use more than a single x16 slot, 1 m.2, and maybe a sata or 2

[high elm]

💔

[azure topaz]

stealth is reverse power connector btw

[high elm]

£120 for aesthetics? if you want it you can your money

[azure topaz]

i am not normal people and youll find that especially most people here also care a lot about their usb ports and pcie ports

[keen loom]

I hate the back ports, part of aesthetic is managing your cables well

[high elm]

though i wouldnt recommend it

[azure topaz]

case compatibility nightmare

[valid laurel]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/zTKBKq

[keen loom]

well sure, but if someone is coming in asking what board to get they're probably gonna just need the basics

[high elm]

its either you get something sensible or go big with the crosshair

[keen loom]

why do you need a 9950x3d

[azure topaz]

this is terrible i fear

do you actually have the money to buy a computer? im not changing 3/4 of this parts list for it not to get bought

[keen loom]

this is a flex build, not a practical build

[azure topaz]

especially a 3000$ computer

[keen loom]

$4000

[valid laurel]

for gaming and video editing, photo editing i’ll also be using this computer for 3d modelling, 3d and 2d animation and digital art etc

[high elm]

9950x3d justified then

[azure topaz]

i was not saying us dollar but i could see why youd assume that

[keen loom]

do you do video editing currently?

or 3d modelling?

[sinful cobalt]

yeah you should get a X870E extreme and 9950x3d as well

[valid laurel]

i’ll be using my student maintenance loan and i’ll be getting dsa

[keen loom]

yo we got a gundam in chat

[high elm]

my 13900K still works 💔

[sinful cobalt]

smoked by 14900K (1% difference)

[high elm]

real

[keen loom]

which is then smoked by a board

[sinful cobalt]

its also not DDR5 so its obsolete

[high elm]

its tuned d4

[azure topaz]

lol

[high elm]

4200 gear1 low CL

cjr though 💔

[azure topaz]

gross

[sinful cobalt]

that doesnt matter, the best part is super mute and anti seismic

[high elm]

gas bro

[azure topaz]

you just lied to my face about low cl

[azure topaz]

its probably 16

[high elm]

16 yea

[azure topaz]

thats not low

i have bdie that does 4000 flat 12's

[high elm]

its cjr 💔

[azure topaz]

yeah it doesnt do low tcl like inherently smh

[keen loom]

I remember running CL4 ram back in the day

[azure topaz]

how could you not be a ram nerd and know that off the top of your head fuck you

[keen loom]

it was ddr2 but still

[azure topaz]

high tcl for ddr2 innit, what speed?

[valid laurel]

so i will have the money soon @azure topaz

[keen loom]

800

[azure topaz]

okay im clicking thru

[valid laurel]

okie dokie

[keen loom]

it was on a core 2 quad based xeon

[high elm]

b die magic

[valid laurel]

i’ll hopefully be getting this early october

[sinful cobalt]

dw bro my shitty laptop does 7500MT/s which isnt impressive but its whatever

I honestly should not touch my laptop for ts at all

[high elm]

that has to be an intel

[keen loom]

my laptop is running 5600 lmao

[sinful cobalt]

AMD

[high elm]

tf

[sinful cobalt]

8945HS

[keen loom]

soldered RAM?

[sinful cobalt]

32gb 7500MT soldered ram

[high elm]

i fear your latency is likely horrible

your 100% running gear 2 bro

[sinful cobalt]

im not gonna go in and change shit on a laptop thats not gonna be doing anything intensive

[high elm]

😔

[keen loom]

my laptop is for web browsing, I chose a 7840u for the memes

of spending $1600 on a youtube machine

[sinful cobalt]

not like even any intel CPU can do 7000+ in gear 1

[keen loom]

oh, it also serves as a code scanner for my car

[high elm]

they can do gear 2 8000+

[azure topaz]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ky6s2x

[sinful cobalt]

wheres ur gear 2 8000 kid

[keen loom]

oh why are we saying kid

[sinful cobalt]

show me that 13900k DDR5 8000

[azure topaz]

moderate min maxing
removed gen 5 drive, pretty unneccessary
added a second 4 tb
changed 4tb from QLC based to TLC
changed board
changed ram

changed psu to cheaper and white so you get white cables

[sinful cobalt]

because I can

[high elm]

give me a ddr5 board 🙏

[keen loom]

it's just kinda needlessly rude

[sinful cobalt]

ur richer than me bro

[high elm]

[valid laurel]

could you tell me the reasonings behind the changes you made please

[high elm]

8000+ on a 13900k isnt rare

[azure topaz]

already did

[azure topaz]

yes it is more on this when i help emma

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/cyberpunk-stick-some-iron-up-your-mouth-and-pull-the-trigger-johnny-silverhand-gif-26931703

[azure topaz]

psu doesnt need 1000w, swapped to cheaper and for white cables, same a tier level

the original 4tb drive you had chosen is QLC and worse for lifespan, the NM790 is much better

the other gen5 drive is as much as a double capacity gen 4 drive so i put another nm790

[sinful cobalt]

no floppa that isnt optimal you forgot to throw the overpriced NZXT case out

[azure topaz]

the ram you chose was overpriced for your needs and this one is the exact same

white, rgb, 6000 c30

swapped board out for a white one thats slightly cheaper, doesnt have wifi/bt if you need that

dont forget to buy case fans

[azure topaz]

h9 flow for 250-275$ is insane

[keen loom]

man I hate what the O11 Dynamic did to the case industry

[sinful cobalt]

APNX V1>

[tidal geyser]

i just launched portal on my phone

[azure topaz]

but im not one to re-pick aesthetic things in such an expensive rig

[valid laurel]

i do kinda need wifi as i’m unable to run a ethernet currently and when i get the pc so i will need wifi

[azure topaz]

they clearly have the money for it so its not that deep for them to get the case they really want

[sinful cobalt]

understandable

[azure topaz]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/P7KBKq
ice it is

[keen loom]

I'm buying a Lian Li Lancool 217 cause muh traditional layout

[sinful cobalt]

Because I know him irl, and he’s always up to some stupid antics with taobao (he is younger than me)

[azure topaz]

most chips without significant fafo simply wont do 8k

[keen loom]

ok that makes more sense lmao

[valid laurel]

ty, and what was that about the case? i only picked that case because i like how it looks but also it comes with fans and has the power button and ports on the bottom

[azure topaz]

im not saying that every chip above cant run 8k but it is certainly not easy

[azure topaz]

if you like it then i wont hold you

[valid laurel]

okie

[azure topaz]

thats a choice im not really allowed to make

my gf has one, its a great case to build in

[high elm]

🙀

[valid laurel]

fair, i don’t know why the case gets so much hate though

[sinful cobalt]

“ i hope the dragon doesnt boom “

[high elm]

come try

[sinful cobalt]

no thanks

[valid laurel]

the only reason why i ain’t getting the lian li one because the power button and usb ports are on the top making it hard to access

plus i can’t be asked to deal with fans

[azure topaz]

13900ks it counts

[tidal geyser]

proton is life

[azure topaz]

and its at least a bit stable so i should get bonus points for that

[high elm]

nice

[sinful cobalt]

congratulations you get this virtual typed out award

[azure topaz]

hurray

[high elm]

ram oc is also pretty board dependent though

[azure topaz]

yes

thats why i have an edge

the tests in the data above are on apex and hero

[azure topaz]

i just like yapping about it and i never know who will give me life changing sauce

overclocking is like the cold war with how people are reluctant to give out any potentially helpful info

[azure topaz]

sure someone can tell you what voltage to run but they wont tell you that lucky mode 3 in the msi bios is the best (arbitrary, its not)

[high elm]

yeah… specific bioses too for gpu oc

[azure topaz]

well that i get. they were under NDA and nvidia seriously gets mad when xoc vbioses leak

not telling me a bios setting i went past 8 times will secretly make me stable isn’t cool

[sinful cobalt]

like your ass using a 1000w 4080 vbios just to get fucked by cooling

[high elm]

i still have my 2080ti strix XOC bios 🤑

[high elm]

i just need a waterblock

[azure topaz]

i have a 1080 non ti strix xoc vbios

[high elm]

but waterblocking a sakura is a sin

[azure topaz]

an evga 500w 3080 oc vbios

[sinful cobalt]

aka next to impossible

[azure topaz]

unlocked polaris stuff, maxwell, a turing 2070s 320w bios

[sinful cobalt]

i wannna get dee z890i 265k combo

[high elm]

2070s 320w 🙀

[azure topaz]

yeah i think that one took the most digging

this weekend should hopefully be very hype

ocKVM soon™

[sinful cobalt]

@high elm if I get the z890i 265k im gonna do caseless

[serene eagle]

that colour be looking nice

[azure topaz]

if i can get it working

but i think someone else did most if not all the work for me

which is expected (and what i hoped for)

[high elm]

your spending money unnecessarily

[azure topaz]

you're*

[sinful cobalt]

yro’ue*

[random gyro]

yr'e

[azure topaz]

i think you should do it its a great idea

[high elm]

sorry guys its 1.42 am 😔

[azure topaz]

please buy high speed ram and overclock it with me

me when im 42 hundreths through the next minute

next hour? i guess? im also stupid

[high elm]

spending 1 hr to get 1ns better latency 💔

[azure topaz]

WOAH WAIT

its like. the first 10 minutes you get all the gains

[sinful cobalt]

gang I want that novalake 🥀

[azure topaz]

then the rest you just get..dwindling and dwindling results

[sinful cobalt]

I’ve got a moza R3, airpods pro 3 and a table to buy

[azure topaz]

BUT ITS FUN I SWEAR

[high elm]

yea

[azure topaz]

yes get both and combine them

[high elm]

its painful i just set 16-20-20-30 trefi 64k 4200mhz and im done

[azure topaz]

high speed ram and novalake

[high elm]

anta777 stable and go to sleep

[azure topaz]

only gripes with this are fix trfc too

and your tertiaries are also super important for latency/perf

[sinful cobalt]

the whatever intel gamer days shit dont even interest me 🥀

and no Im not picking up BF6 I dont got peeps to play it with

[azure topaz]

for a no effort oc id do all those and then be done

[high elm]

yea

i dont wanna reboot 300 times to get 5ns better latency 💔

[azure topaz]

and for most rigs i give to people i just minimize trfc and max trefi

[high elm]

im more of a gpu oc guy

[sinful cobalt]

im back to peak

[merry dagger]

how much difference in power consumption between PCIe gen 4 and gen 5 nvme ssd?

[sinful cobalt]

Does this fuck with “testing” imc or na

i honestly just rolled back to expo and kept those trfc trefi settings and called it a day

[high elm]

auto settings are shit

[azure topaz]

wdym

[azure topaz]

auto voltage on 13th is surprisingly good for imc and stuff

[sinful cobalt]

nvm im just gonna suck up that my imc is just trash xd

[high elm]

iphone air 🤤

[sinful cobalt]

im interested in the Pro for active cooling but still on 3nm so i slep

[azure topaz]

like if you want to test your IMC, id do auto with manual primaries

but imc testing is not just leaving the rest on auto and seeing how high you can boot or soemthing

[high elm]

i lowk forgot my system agent and whatever voltages cuz my board is with asus rn

[sinful cobalt]

6400 just shits itself somewhere itfp lmao

I can get 6200 running but cant confirm stability bcs I simply dont have the time to

[high elm]

if price for air == sgd$1200 i buy

[azure topaz]

go to bed while its running and if it still is, call it good

[sinful cobalt]

u wish

[azure topaz]

dont over complicate it cause other people test for longer

[high elm]

ya i wish 💔

[latent wagon]

could one of you check out my build https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/GpFdkf

[azure topaz]

6-12 hours of testing is good to shoot for and anything more is enthusiast/epeen/elitist level

which i am all for but nobody has time to test an intermediate config for 12 hours

so i get it

[latent wagon]

will be upgrading to the 5090 later

[sinful cobalt]

I’d also need to consider a test to see if it can handle the GPU heat no?

[high elm]

point a fan at it

[sinful cobalt]

I buying moza R3 soon

[azure topaz]

eh

[azure topaz]

6900xt right? or whatever

[high elm]

airpods 3 support apple

[sinful cobalt]

fuck you

[high elm]

come try

[serene eagle]

W

[sinful cobalt]

thats gay

im already on the pro 2s

[azure topaz]

run safe trfc/trefi and ur chillin

[sinful cobalt]

ill get the pro 3s in like dec

[azure topaz]

49152 trefi and like +3-5ns of max trfc

so if adie run 125ns or something instead of 120ns

[sinful cobalt]

I also disabled the iGPU and 6400 still craps the bed somewhere xd

ill c abt 6200

@high elm only thing im gonna do about phones is changing the battery when it hits below 69% xd

[azure topaz]

you dont have to change fclk with mem speed

so if you can do 6200/2000 thats okie

[high elm]

💔

[azure topaz]

mines also bad i wont be showing

86

[sinful cobalt]

I ran 6200/2067 C28 before and it wasnt fully stable

granted that was with igpu still up- Dont know if that makes a diff

[high elm]

ya that time i tried to oc ur ram it boot looped like mad

[azure topaz]

what did you do to it

[high elm]

expo profile

iirc it was 6k mhz

[azure topaz]

o

[high elm]

yea he has some asrock board

[high elm]

9800x3d and some cheeks ram

[sinful cobalt]

mf i still dont know what u did that time

I cannot replicate the problem you had

[high elm]

i have a hidden talent

[sinful cobalt]

try to keep it hidden next time

[high elm]

💔

[sinful cobalt]

you and your friend is gonna bring not only the average grades down, but maybe also the sch

[keen loom]

Ordered my switch, $300 for console, dock, 2 joycons, 256gb micro SD, rcm jig, and 3 8bitdo controllers

[high elm]

bro i take “study of visual art”

its prestigious

[sinful cobalt]

u did the wrong course, thats visual and not audio art

[serene eagle]

I finally removed 90% of my tabs

[flat cliff]

I currently have a pixel watch (Android user so long story as to why) and am trying to set it up with bridge app (beta app installed via testflight from the app store) so it doesn't just get discarded and a family member can use it since the rest of my entire family are iPhone users.

I'm testing it out on an old Apple device. I have to install bridge to the watch itself though. Does that mean it kinda has to pair to both devises or at least since I have to set it up send there data back via my Google account or something, idk how it works?

[wary steeple]

i got a crazy issue going on can someone help me plz

[ivory mountain]

16 pro max just doesnt exist i guess guys

[wary steeple]

I have a weird issue since i bought a LG ULTRAGEAR 27 inch QD-OLED gaming monitor if my monitor is on and when i turn off my tv whitch is a 65 inch vizo 4k tv it also turns off my monitor my old monitors never done that before only this new monitor how can i stop it from happening and no the tv is NOT hooked to my pc 

[ivory mountain]

fuck georgia bulldogs i hope all of your tech never works again

[wary steeple]

@ivory mountain lol go dawgs

i dont wanna talk about unc football

how yall let up 48 to tcu

i was pissed at that game

[novel tangle]

yo guys, is there any reason for my ssd to reach 839TB of write after like 1 year and ~3 months?
i have no idea what i do in order to get this

[azure topaz]

uh no because it wouldnt have lived

i would assume its a reading error

[serene eagle]

there isnt much to compare it

except design, and chip

and other things xyz (very small)

[true stirrup]

This is going to be very fun
So many possibilities opened up

[serene eagle]

i used to own a domain called bigblackoilymen.xyz

[true stirrup]

Lmao that's an interesting thing to register

[serene eagle]

[serene eagle]

that time it was famous

[silk merlin]

completely different kind of tech inquiry: are any of you using an underdesk walking treadmill at home?
I have a sit/stand desk (which I love) but I do get stiff when standing for long periods of time. So, I am just exploring the option of adding a low profile, under-desk treadmill.
The online reviews are honestly unreliable because they are nearly all paid, cross-posted junk and provide no practical insight.
So, I figured I would try checking in with real people.
Anyone have any experience to share?

[brave brook]

will have to spend some in 5 years. But on positive side, my domain name is in form of "lastna.me" 😄

[brave brook]

even funnier when people register names with double meaning unintended

[true stirrup]

That's a really cool domain to have

[brave brook]

i mean not literally lastna.me, but my name ends with 2 letters which exist as TLD, so i could register that. And my primary email is [e-mail] 😄

[true stirrup]

Yeah I understood it was literally your last name
Your mail is perfect with that

It's probably expensive tho

[iron glen]

I don't think i have a primary email

I have five ish i use for whatever i needed at some point

[brave brook]

it is ironically one of the cheaper ones. And for those who still don't get it, i meant that for example if my name would be John Smith (not my name), then i would have an email of [e-mail] 😄

(if .th would exist obviously. Luckily my last 2 letters exist)

[true stirrup]

I'm trying to see how much it would cost for me to do that but it's hard to find someone with the right TLD

It does exist tho

[exotic valley]

time to do some overclocking

easily reached 3030 Mhz

lemme try with 100 Mhz more

[ivory mountain]

are u stress testing

use 3dmark stress test

[exotic valley]

nah, i will first find the edge frequency before down clocking it a bit

then i will do stress testing

[ivory mountain]

u need to test between every update lol, just cause you can set 3030mhz doesnt mean itll work

[exotic valley]

Lemme max out the power limit first and see if I can do 3130mhz

[exotic valley]

Yeh ofc

[true stirrup]

You should run TimeSpy or Steel nomad every time you make a change

[exotic valley]

However I prefer doing things the faster way

[exotic valley]

Def for long term use

[ivory mountain]

doing it like this is slower lol

[true stirrup]

I still hold the 43th place on TineSpy and 13th on SteelNomad for a 2080 super

[brave brook]

also returning a phone i bought for dad for 100% refund (police found his stolen phone, so he doesn't need the replacement) and got my salary today.

Now i need to decide if i will be responsible and minimize my spending, or will i get the Bambu A1 Combo 😄

[true stirrup]

Awesome that you got it back

[exotic valley]

I got creality k2 plus and would suggest stay away from creality and go bambu instead

I think H1S is really good in terms of value

[brave brook]

it's about responsibility 😄

[exotic valley]

They just released here in China, and h1S costs roughly around $600 tax included

[brave brook]

that will be like 800 euros in europe at minimum

[exotic valley]

Well, I’m from mainland China though so 3D printers are dirt cheap

[true stirrup]

I had a chance to get the A1 for only 120€ but since it was an hour drive from me I asked if I can pick it up on Monday (it was Saturday when I asked) and the seller agreed but then sold it to someone who came quicker 😔

[iron glen]

Lucky

[exotic valley]

Filaments are dirt cheap as well

I got my PA-CF at around $8 a kilo

PLA, PLA+ and PETG are all around $2 a kilo, with free shipping

[true stirrup]

That's dirt cheap

[exotic valley]

$4 if we buy directly from bambu or creality however the qualities are the same

[flat cliff]

?

[true stirrup]

Hopefully some decent 3D printer gets listed for cheap and decently close to me so I can scoop it up

[exotic valley]

lemme run timespy to see if the 3000mhz clock speed is actually stable or not

if it runs then i will try steel nomad later

[ivory mountain]

just cause it does one run doesnt mean its stable

[exotic valley]

True, still requires a long term extensive testing

[pliant snow]

5090 with a ryzen 2600

[ivory mountain]

😭

[exotic valley]

Sick

[high elm]

3100+ on a 40 series requires godbin bro or 1.2v

40 series scales of power

[true stirrup]

3DMark is very strict so if it goes through without an issue a couple of times it's most likely stable

[exotic valley]

But the performance wouldn’t be so optimal in most triple A titles thing I would say?

[sleek ibex]

Run it with a Deltamate block for the funni

[exotic valley]

Cuz my 4070ti super runs alongside with my 3600x, and the gpu utilization looks miserable in many games

In Minecraft with decent shaders (optifine/iris), I can only reach roughly 50% gpu utilization, barely enough to reach 60fps

The same story goes for sons of the forest, and some other single player games

[exotic valley]

Yeh, it crashed the system instantly when I started a game

A lot easier to stay around 3000 MHz instead

[high elm]

yeah most 40 series gpus can barely touch 3000mhz on their stock vbios

[exotic valley]

i flashed mine with gigabyte bios just for overclocking.

[true stirrup]

Nice

[high elm]

youre likely voltage limited

[true stirrup]

What's the max power limit?

[high elm]

in that case you cant do anything

[exotic valley]

currently the max power limit is around 366 watts i think

[true stirrup]

Shunt mod

[exotic valley]

i couldn't really fine tune the core voltage

[true stirrup]

In % I mean

[high elm]

dosent fix the voltage issue

[exotic valley]

128%

[high elm]

if its vrel it will always be vrel

unless you have a evc2

[true stirrup]

That's completely maxed?

[exotic valley]

yes

[flat cliff]

?

[ivory mountain]

mine is 800

[true stirrup]

Not bad

[exotic valley]

it looks like this

[high elm]

vram can go higher

[exotic valley]

How far do you think it can go before lowering efficiency?

[true stirrup]

Go as high as you can

[high elm]

you have to test that

[exotic valley]

True

[high elm]

but my 4080 does 1750

stock voltage

stock timings

[true stirrup]

I'm lucky my GPU can do 140% power limit

[high elm]

dosent matter if youre voltage limited

[true stirrup]

Power limit always matters

The higher the better

[exotic valley]

And luckier since you can manually tune the voltage

[true stirrup]

That slider does nothing

[exotic valley]

I had a 3090ti and it burns like a furnace

[high elm]

it does lol what

[true stirrup]

It's there just because

[exotic valley]

Easily reaches 500w after OC

[high elm]

0% = 1.075v max 100% = 1.093v

[true stirrup]

It doesn't because Nvidia limits the voltage to some number no matter what you do with that slider

[warm linden]

I wonder when wireless fans will be released

[high elm]

#tech-chat-1 message

[warm linden]

Or cordless

[exotic valley]

They already exist I think

[warm linden]

Have a battery / receiver in the fan itself and put the controller in the case wherever

[true stirrup]

No that's wrong
That slider does nothing

[exotic valley]

I have a handheld battery powered cordless fan

[tidal geyser]

Can't be a thing

[high elm]

it legitimately does something what

[warm linden]

Why not

[tidal geyser]

Can't run longer then like 3hrs?

[warm linden]

Surely technology someday will allow it to happen

Could accept wireless charging idk

[tidal geyser]

It's so dumb

[exotic valley]

You know you can charge your phone wirelessly right? Maybe you can create a fan with similar technology?

[high elm]

early 4080’s came with 1.11v max vbios which would be slider 100% 0% = 1.075

same with all cards 0% =1.075 100% = 1.093

[tidal geyser]

It is also one of the worst ways to charge it from a efficiency stand point

[exotic valley]

Yeh it generates a lot waste heat

Overheats the device, shortening the lifespan

I detest it

[true stirrup]

That slider does absolutely nothing
The voltage always stays the same no matter what you have on the slider
Confirmed by FzR: #tech-chat-1 message

[tidal geyser]

Aka wireless fans will never become a thing and just make zero sense

[azure topaz]

18 millivolts!!

the slider does not do nothing but it only unlocks 1 or 2 boost bins more

[high elm]

yeah

[unreal shoal]

Can someone explain why this is happening?

[azure topaz]

it does effectively nothing

[tidal geyser]

Core temp

Or some other shitty program

[high elm]

youre still getting the boost bins that you wouldnt have gotten at stock

[unreal shoal]

Same thing happens in HWiNFO

[tidal geyser]

I dono just do not use it

[unreal shoal]

and feeling the vent on the laptop it all of a sudden starts pushing out hot air as the fan turns on to full blast and thermal throttling occurs

[true stirrup]

If FzR said that slider is placebo effect then it is

[high elm]

wild

[exotic valley]

How important do you guys think MFG is for gaming?

[tidal geyser]

That is how laptops work but did you repaste it?

[unreal shoal]

Pretty sure I dont need it repasted because its still under warranty and its only atleast 2 months old so far

[exotic valley]

Are you willing to trade input latencies for a higher frame

[tidal geyser]

Well if hwinfo says there is a 20c delta for cpu cores something is wrong

I bet this is a Intel cpu with 4 p and 6 e cores

[unreal shoal]

Well this is what hwinfo says

[ivory mountain]

102c

[exotic valley]

Btw, what to do if I can’t find steel nomad on the special Russian edition 3dmark I downloaded?

[brave brook]

boiling water with CPU

[exotic valley]

Whatever, I guess I will just resort to port royal instead

[tidal geyser]

Press the arrow next to core temp

[unreal shoal]

My hidden icons?

[azure topaz]

no you blind bat

[tidal geyser]

I forgot for a moment Intel does this

[tidal geyser]

Wtf

100 mobile CPUs are do fucked up

[azure topaz]

y

[tidal geyser]

2 p cores but also 2lpe cores but not even arrow lake

[unreal shoal]

?

[tidal geyser]

Something dumb or bad is going on here

[azure topaz]

looks normal to me

[tidal geyser]

Almost 20c delta between 2 p cores

102 vs 85

[azure topaz]

one of them is being used more

the other one is still hot cause its right next to the one being used

the rest are kinda warm because theyre also next to the one being used

[tidal geyser]

But it should not be 20c

Unless he is playing Gary's mod it should be able to use both p cores

[unreal shoal]

I kinda have nothing open at the moment plus I dont play many games on this laptop because its more or so designed to be a office laptop

[azure topaz]

i am mining crypto on your laptop

[tidal geyser]

Could just be the curse of Intel

[unreal shoal]

Now multiple cores are spiking in temperature randomly

[tidal geyser]

My 1335u laptop is just utter garbage

[tidal geyser]

There the p cores are normal

Also das normal

[brave brook]

for some reason i thought it belongs tro the same family as 1037U 😄 . A bit older thing LOL https://ark.intel.com/products/71995

[exotic cape]

@tidal geyser https://www.digi.no/artikler/komplett-ble-svindlet-for-millioner-gpu-brikker-kan-ha-havnet-i-utlandet/562164

Interesting...

[brave brook]

in China they do it on commercial scale, i guess they got inspired

[exotic cape]

They bought the gpu's, removed the chip, then returned them as doa.

[kindred halo]

Got my boot times cut to a quarter of what they used to be

Because I used a non HikVision SSD lmao

[unreal shoal]

Normal clock speeds for just having a vpn, discord, and hwinfo open?

[tidal geyser]

Yes

Eh it is a bit high

[brave brook]

someone was abusing some illegal substances in my country

[steel umbra]

best deal ever

[flat cliff]

?

[peak knot]

on modern cards he is right

voltage slider doesnt do much since gtx 10 series really

reason its called the placebo slider these days

your not getting use out of it until your well below 0C

[brave brook]

yeah, the only thing which makes difference is the curve. Which is functionally similar to negative PBO offset on AMD CPUs

[mortal plume]

yo is this monitor cooked? (purple background cause easier to see the lines)

[peak knot]

even then it doesnt do much

not on normie vbios's

[bitter crater]

oh new high, ram clocked at 3461,5 mhz while set to 6000mt/s (hwinfo reporting mhz)

[midnight rampart]

It's the monitor that's cooked correct?

[azure topaz]

kinda seems like it but the OSD isnt doing that

[exotic valley]

been doing stress tests for a while now and it seems this to be the sweet spot

3000 Mhz for the frequency and +1800 Mhz for the memory

roughly the 9070xt level of rasterization performance now (+- 5%)

[true stirrup]

Invalid score?

I see a ⚠️

[exotic valley]

I use the special Russian edition 3Dmark

That might be the cause

[true stirrup]

Just use the real one

[exotic valley]

I only trust software from Russian websites so

Sometimes they come with some quirks but overall trustworthy

I’m Chinese so I only go Russian when it comes to software

Can a Cooler Master I30 cool an Intel I5 6500?

[cosmic lance]

i once killed linus in CS2

[viral matrix]

How 😭

[cosmic lance]

i was joking

[cosmic lance]

yes

[high elm]

difference is there but performance wise its like what a 20mhz difference

except on super specific cards

like early 4080's that had a 1.11v vmax

makes the diff between 2950mhz and 3000

[steel umbra]

liar, muted, banned.

[snow bloom]

MY NEW PHONE

(base model s25 ultra)

using it raw until case and protector comes

[steel umbra]

well, uhh that’s basicly nothing

[high elm]

meh if youre really chasing every ounce of performance or have ocd and just want to see 3000mhz

[lime bone]

Hey guys, can PoE run over 3 wires instead of 4 (4th doesnt work, in my case the 6th line)?

[steel umbra]

3000mhz vs 2950mhz is a difference of 1.7%

that’s almost margin error levels of difference

[peak knot]

modern cards dont scale with voltage well

not like older cards

they temp scale super well

[ivory mountain]

am i tweaking about what linus just said in his new vid 😭

hella risky

[ivory mountain]

W

[high elm]

yea but some people want all the performance they can get so

[jaunty apex]

Editor reminded me why I stopped caring about apple besides freedom, the mini lineup being killed before USB C was forced in

[empty quartz]

Mrow

[high elm]

yea best to keep it under i forgot 45 degrees? im p sure thats when nvidia cards drop bins

[peak knot]

try below 0C

thats where the difference is actually noticable

[high elm]

i mean if you pump 1000w thru smt your still gonna get a performance gain

diminishing returns though

[steel umbra]

for most users overclocking is nonesense outside presets

[high elm]

you throw all practicality out the window so

might spend more time resetting cmos that day than using the pc for what you’ve bought it for

im in talks about making a chiller with a buddy

my last chiller was stolen....

[high elm]

nice!

the guy prolly didnt even know what it was

[peak knot]

was a damn HVAC tech that stole it

[high elm]

tf he gonna do with it

its such a niche piece of machinery for such a specific task

that needs supporting equipment too

[peak knot]

IDK, i paid him to repair it as it had a leak and he was suppossed to recharge it also, he used a false ID as when i went to report him the cops told me that ID had been reported stolen before so i never had his real name.... FB marketplace BS

[peak knot]

mine was a small unit that only drew about 1200W

[high elm]

1200w

my pc already does like 1300+ if i hook a 1200w chiller up

my damn electricity bill is gonna be like 500

[peak knot]

1200W of power draw does not equal 1200W of cooling

[high elm]

0.3 cents per kilowatt

electricity is not cheap

[peak knot]

that was to cool a GPU to -30C for short runs

with about 15 minute breaks between runs to regain temp

my current chiller only gets to about -5C

How hard is it really? I have a current desktop, but I got a new mobo (b650), cpu (7800x3d), ram (32gb ddr5), and cpu cooler (id-cooling AIO).

Installing a GPU is one of the easiest parts, tbh.

[snow bloom]

I love this sono much, only thing i hate about this s25 ultra is the storage capacity and the no longer bluetooth s pen... and whatsapp just refusing to transfer chats forcing me use beeper

[quasi field]

Damn bro save some sub zero for the rest of us

[snow bloom]

Depends on the heft and size of the gpu and the heft and size of the case really

[tender ravine]

its a metalicgear neo qube case, fairly roomy I'd say.

The GPU is a 5060 ti (16gb model ofc, never going 8gb vram ever again), so its pretty small and 2 fan.

Old parts: 5800x, 64gb ddr4, msi x570

[quasi field]

Ngl I wish the 5050 was pcie only

[snow bloom]

5060 ti with a 7800x3d 🥀🥀

[tender ravine]

cant afford a better gpu or I would.

[snow bloom]

I suppose it is gonna be real easy to install

[tender ravine]

it is an "side-grade" from my 3070 ti with 8gb vram.

that doubled vram has helped a lot

[distant frigate]

Ok so apparently this is comparable to M2 levels of performance

Someone even says comparable to M2 Pro

[quasi field]

That’s wild

[snow bloom]

Then that's alrighty, you could've gotten a 7600x3d instead and use the saved money for a better GPU but it's not like a horrid thing

[quasi field]

They should of marketed that ngl…

[azure topaz]

i’m taking this message as he already bought it

so i’m saving my breath on this one

[quasi field]

The iPhone 17 pro is as fast as our M2 pro chips and gives you a 18hr battery when gaming

[azure topaz]

allegedly

[tender ravine]

ive had the gpu for 4-5 months now, only got the cpu 2 days ago.

[quasi field]

True

[snow bloom]

But then throws a fit if you try to do just in time stuff

[tender ravine]

I do plan to do an upgrade from the 7800x3d to the 10k series in a year or two. Same with the GPU, probably the 6000 series

[quasi field]

smh

[tender ravine]

unless amd's version of dlss gets improvents haha. I can see a ghosting in FSR

[distant frigate]

iPhone 17 Pro gonna do really well in gaming

[snow bloom]

Damn you applle and your hatred for jit... I just wanna play java on ipad

[distant frigate]

Almost 4,000 single core CPU + vapor chamber cooler + 40% better GPU..

[snow bloom]

A19 pro or regular a19 chip in the new MacBook when

[quasi field]

All they need to do is put a a19pro in a m-

[quasi field]

Was thinking the same thing

[snow bloom]

✨️manifesting a yellow (like the apple silicon imacs) macbook✨️

[azure topaz]

you’re apple silicon

[quasi field]

Imagine the 60hr battery life on a Mac

[snow bloom]

Holy shif might just kill the air

[plain cypress]

Isn't this literally the rumor

[quasi field]

It has the a19pro chip it draws like 5w

[plain cypress]

Uhhh it could be last years iPhone chip

Somewhere between A18 and A19 Pro is rumored to be going into a new entry level MacBook

[snow bloom]

Yeah

[plain cypress]

On the one hand they could just try to make the M1 MBA even cheaper

But M1 software support can't last forever

[snow bloom]

I was so bummed out that the MacBook air refresh didn't come with yellow like the imacs

[quasi field]

How many wh is the Mac air battery

[plain cypress]

Tbh...."enough"

Ifixit may have the spec @quasi field

[quasi field]

52.5

[plain cypress]

I have the space grey M1 and I wish I got the gold. I didn't see the gold color in person until after I purchased and it looked so much better than the renders

[distant frigate]

Imagine if A series chips had 8 CPU cores and 8 GPU cores just like snapdragon…

[quasi field]

So let’s just say… the “alleged” Mac air has a a19 or a19 pro it should get around 8-10hr battery life when being fully utilized at 5watts

[ebon marlin]

damn, that's not really alot

5w utilization with only 8-10 hour battery life

[snow bloom]

The truest air

[azure topaz]

power draw is variable, screen takes power too

[fringe prairie]

even with 6 cpu cores it still keeps up with SDXE

[high elm]

price for the new phones are still crazy tho in my country i fucking hate tax

[plain cypress]

I'd think it's just called "MacBook"

[ebon marlin]

the 16 pro max lasts 10 hours while gaming according to gsmarena's benchmark

also while having a significantly smaller battery

[quasi field]

HOW

It only has like a 23wh battery

[ebon marlin]

the m4 macbook uses a 54wh battery for the 13inch model

[wet ember]

YES! PLEASE install more anticheat on my PC! THANK YOU!

[quasi field]

You should install all the anti cheat on you computer

[mint umbra]

Maill get new iPhone

[bitter crater]

if only the anti cheat actually worked...

[mint umbra]

Maybe*

[quasi field]

… I may possibly trade in my phone for the the iPhone…

[ebon marlin]

while 16 pro max only has 18wh but ofc smaller screen and an OLED over LCD

[mint umbra]

Doesn't look to bad

[ebon marlin]

base 17 won't be that great for battery

[mint umbra]

What base model phone does lol

[ebon marlin]

anything that isn't a samsung, iphone or google

[mint umbra]

Most base models have small battery

[ebon marlin]

base 17's screen is on 120hz 24/7 no LTPO or LTPS at all

[mint umbra]

So Chinese phones

[ebon marlin]

Realme GT 7 is a base model phone and is one of the best battery performers

[mint umbra]

I ain't getting Chinese brands lol

[ebon marlin]

once you go chinese you can't go back

[mint umbra]

I have op 13

I hate it

[ebon marlin]

why so

[bitter crater]

dont chinese phones have shit software / updates?

[ebon marlin]

not at all

I have the Oneplus 12R, 13R and a Realme GT 7 Pro all work great

[mint umbra]

Don't like operating system

And this phone has delayed notifications

[ebon marlin]

OxygenOS isn't really special it's very basic in terms of android

[mint umbra]

I'm always missing texts

[quasi field]

Nah I’m getting that pro

[ebon marlin]

idk I get my texts instantly always

[mint umbra]

Ones
Ui is better

[ebon marlin]

this might be a you problem

[ivory mountain]

13r ❤️‍🩹

[mint umbra]

Sa e with ios

[ebon marlin]

you do know that it's still the same operating system

[quasi field]

My iPhone overheats too much

[ebon marlin]

yeah cuz iphones don't have any cooling until now

[quasi field]

smh

[mint umbra]

It's a different skin with much more customization

[ebon marlin]

yeah, all it is, is just a skin

[mint umbra]

Oxygen is too bare bone

[ivory mountain]

somehow my 16pm doesnt overheat its wizard magic

[ebon marlin]

never had an issue with oxygenos personally

[quasi field]

Like right now while my phone is charging it’s like 105°F

[ebon marlin]

personally prefer oxygenos over oneui

[quasi field]

My screen is as dim as it gets

[mint umbra]

Also phone soon to lose support in my country

[bitter crater]

my phone might need to get replaced soonish, its from pre-covid

[ebon marlin]

how does that happen

[mint umbra]

Op13 isn't supported with 5g

[ebon marlin]

what

[mint umbra]

In Canada

[quasi field]

I mean there was supposed to be reverse wireless charging on the 17 if the leaks are correct

[mint umbra]

The providers won't support 5g for Chinese brands

[jaunty apex]

Took them a bit damn. Did they have that for airpods yet?

[quasi field]

Hell nah

[jaunty apex]

Lol. Samsung did it first

[ebon marlin]

all I could find is that they're taking down 3g

[quasi field]

What’s funny is hardware wise all iPhones can technically reverse wireless charge

[mint umbra]

Which is what op 13 phomes use I'm Canada

[ebon marlin]

do you use 3g in 2025?

you mentioned 5g not 3g

[jaunty apex]

I mean tbf unless its like an xl or pro would you want to?

[quasi field]

3g isn’t terrible actually ngl… it’s like 10mb up and down in some areas when I remember

[mint umbra]

Mate the phone doesn't work with their network on 5g

Or they haven't enabled it to work

[jaunty apex]

3g is very insecure and being phased out

[mint umbra]

Either way it do t work

[rose stream]

Which parts of the world still even use 3G though?

[quasi field]

That’s true

[ebon marlin]

https://community.oneplus.com/thread/1823394358443900933

[quasi field]

When I was in Mexico

[ebon marlin]

5G works just not 3G

[empty quartz]

Ngl

[ebon marlin]

https://community.oneplus.com/thread/1910099876880842756

[empty quartz]

Im not too mad about the switch back to aluminum for the ifons

[quasi field]

That’s nice

[ebon marlin]

Damocles I think it's time to get ur eyes checked as there's no mention of 5G being taken down it's 3G being taken down

[ebon marlin]

titanium sucks on phones

[mint umbra]

It doesn't matter if they providers won't allow thr phone to access to their 5g network

[gilded imp]

canada was the first time ive ever seen my phone connect to 3g

[ebon marlin]

going back to aluminium was a great choice

[quasi field]

Honestly it’s a lighter phone… now

[empty quartz]

Damocles has the brain capacity of a peanut butter sandwich

[empty quartz]

For cooling*

[ebon marlin]

yeah I can see that

[mint umbra]

Mate I was literally told by the phone providers I have to buy a new phone

[distant frigate]

3G was shut down here in 2019-2021 lol. Just 4G and 5G now

[ebon marlin]

lmao
