[placid belfry]

My former board was not true atx I didn’t need to install 2 screws
I can’t find the missing two now with new board need to install

Can I just use any of these

If it fits and all

Or is it a matter of a special coating that prevents cognitive decline for the board

[glass nexus]

guys... im building a pc for this girl at my school, now i can bbuild it, but idk what parts to get, my budget is $500 and she would use it for games, gmail, other stuff like docs and allat, if someone could drop a pcpartpicker list, i will be your best friednd forever, im begging

[placid belfry]

It’s always like that when they need you
Once you’re short on 7$ for that burger they all disappear

[glass nexus]

[placid belfry]

They’re smart with their technique
They act in a way that causes your empathetic heart to offer free help

Ask yourself did they ever offer 7$ for that 8$ burger ?

[clear canyon]

thats high for ddr4, but go for the PNY, its far cheaper

also, does ur laptop support those speeds?

[placid belfry]

Bruh how does warship allow you to post links

[swift night]

how can I know if my laptop supports those speeds?

[swift night]

I'm op bro

Where's the uefi bios???

Asus should fix their hardware

Bump

[cinder rivet]

Sorry meant to reply here bump

[sinful cobalt]

[sinful cobalt]

you do realise you are literally on UEFI right

[cinder rivet]

Where is the uefi then

[sinful cobalt]

you didnt even explain your problem

gtfo and into #1027757333117415424 then describe ur situation

[cinder rivet]

Are the pics not explanation?

[cinder rivet]

You're a bright spot of sour aren't you

[sinful cobalt]

literally no

go explain in tech support what tf ur trying to do

im not ur customer service nor IT help desk Im not obliged to be all dilly dally with you

[cinder rivet]

Yet you respond, curious

[sinful cobalt]

because Im still trying to help you in a way? Unless you want me to outright say “fuck you” and flip you off

[torn sluice]

should i re apply just thermal paste or also change thermal pads on my 3060ti ftw3 its starting to overheat and most games it never use too

[stark kiln]

Is 3060 ti good

[sinful cobalt]

check the memory temps in a stress test, if memory overheating then also replace pads

[stark kiln]

And I suggest you repaste every 6 months if yk what to do

[sinful cobalt]

repaste every 6 months is crazy

[torn sluice]

id say its a good card

[stark kiln]

Idk I never had a actual PC

[torn sluice]

whats that stress test app people use

[sinful cobalt]

furmark

[stark kiln]

Hmm. I mean I can fit it into a 400$ build if I just spend bit less on everything else

[torn sluice]

i would save up a bit more to get better components depending what ur wanting to do with it

[stark kiln]

Maybe 500

I got a tv/monitor I can use

22 inch 60hz but it is 1080p for good

[torn sluice]

22inch is quite small for a pc

[torn sluice]

this is what the 1080 Preset gave me idk

[stark kiln]

Still it's temporary

[sinful cobalt]

that seems fine lmao

how long has the card been used

[torn sluice]

like 2+years

whats the better test on furmark

do u just use the preset

[random gyro]

hey how does tailscale differ in terms of anonymity- it calls itself a mesh vpn but it doesn't really give you internet from other people around you does it?- seen it mentioned in privacy first contexts

[stable beacon]

my monitor isnt working, i checked the connections and it says no signal, my pc knows its connected im pulling tabs to my other monitor just fine

wait nvm

I need help I recently had to replace ssd and reset everything and recently I’ve had back screens and I get different error messages and I can’t seem to find the problem. Also it freezes and dosent reset so I have to hold down power buttons and when I go to event viewer it says NvcontainerLocalSystem service terminated with the following error a generic command executable return a result that indicates failure

[royal loom]

Fresh thermal paste

[jaunty apex]

Can you run in safe mode?

Thats an nvidia driver component thats terminating, so my first suggestion would be downloading the latest nvidia driver, running Display Driver Uninstaller (a separate program) while offline, rebooting and installing the driver before coming back online.

[jaunty apex]

That executable there is the kernel itself though, the "core" of windows essentially

[clear canyon]

did you replace the boot drive?

if so, did you move that windows installation to the new drive

@digital cedar

[slender yoke]

Anyone ever heard of Venturer laptops? and/or know where I can get a BIOS update for one and/or drivers?

[clear canyon]

nope

[slender yoke]

Did a fresh windows install on one and now I've got no audio, or audio device in device manager

[clear canyon]

thats bc you need to install ur gpu drivers

[slender yoke]

I know the bios is AMI, but that's about all

[clear canyon]

gpu has audio drivers

[slender yoke]

So...

The Realtek Audio Driver is no longer its own thing?

[clear canyon]

go install the gpu drivers real quick

[slender yoke]

I did try install a couple of intel & microsoft drivers but to no avail

[clear canyon]

try checking windows update, see if there is a driver there. also, click on the pnp monitor (standard) and try to manually install a driver or uninstall it and reset the laptop

[slender yoke]

Lemme check windows update history lol it's installed a fair few things iirc

LOLLLL

[jaunty apex]

My PC gave up so you get picture of it

[jaunty apex]

Lmao

[clear canyon]

uh, tf is that

[jaunty apex]

Warranty page on the venturer 10k manual

[clear canyon]

yeah, so uninstall the driver then reinstall it

[slender yoke]

Looks like a scam

[jaunty apex]

You bought the venturer

[clear canyon]

should fix it

[clear canyon]

did this pop up?

or is it on a website

[jaunty apex]

https://www.manualslib.com/brand/venturer/laptop.html

[clear canyon]

what is this link, I aint clicking it

[jaunty apex]

Go do a whois on it

[jaunty apex]

Ehhh someone got it lol.

[slender yoke]

Iv watched a total of 2 weeks, 1 day, 11 hours and 6min on my media server lmao

[shy olive]

Honestly i might as well give up on trying to get a pc, 150000 of my country currency is about 1100$ in official market, but in the black market which EVERYONE uses it’s like 630$ just imagine having the money to buy a 1100$ pc but the market nerfs your ass to 600

[clear canyon]

did you reset the computer after uninstalling it?

[ivory mountain]

translation: ive watched a total of 2 weeks, 1 day, 11 hours, and 6 mins of konosuba on my media server*

[jaunty apex]

Idk that was all I could find for references to venturer that werent reviews or product links so

[clear canyon]

well konosuba is apart of it lmao

[jaunty apex]

and venturer.com doesnt have a valid ssl cert so

aint going there

[clear canyon]

this is me vs every other user lmao

[ivory mountain]

i wanna do a media server but im lowkey too lazy to set it up

[slender yoke]

Completely useless - just says if it breaks re-install windows

[slender yoke]

Reset the computer? Huh

[jaunty apex]

Oh god

[clear canyon]

its very nice to have, especially if your internet poops out or if the service you are using goes down

[clear canyon]

yeah, when you uninstall a driver, you reset the computer for it to reinstall the basic drivers

[ivory mountain]

i use many anime sites for uh but some episodes take forever to get to them lol, lowkey js wanna do it myself automatically

[slender yoke]

as in, factory reset or you mean reboot?

[jaunty apex]

yeah thats a rip. I just read it. Mostly wanted to find the site they own

[ivory mountain]

shii sounds like ur gonna be resetting windows 😂

[clear canyon]

i use anime cites to also bc when things happen with like how solo leveling brought down the servers, im not affected lmao

[clear canyon]

reboot

[slender yoke]

Breh it's got a clean install on it lmao

[ivory mountain]

solo leveling demolished those sites 😭

[clear canyon]

ikr lmao, I had no issues tho since I didnt use em during that time lmao, I downloaded the show and watched from my own server

I got both seasons

[jaunty apex]

Still need to watch that

[ivory mountain]

my other PC is a HP system with an i3 3300, 16gb ram, and a 3tb hdd 💔

[clear canyon]

thats plenty to use as a media server

[ivory mountain]

fair

[clear canyon]

you just need a better gpu for encoding if you wanna do high res stuff

like an intel a310

[torn sluice]

What should I use

[jaunty apex]

me running jellyfin on main pc

[slender yoke]

Didn't work

[clear canyon]

ok so go find some realtech drivers to replace it with

[shy olive]

Oh wrong server

[jaunty apex]

damn got the hummer lmao

[shy olive]

sorry

[ivory mountain]

boiii ts pc was between 6 and 700 dollars boiii

[shy olive]

Which one? That I sent? Yeah it’s like 630$

[serene atlas]

Someone said you need a pcie gen 5 slot on your mobo to use a 50 series card is this true?

[ivory mountain]

nevermind u missed the joke 💔

[jaunty apex]

no

gen 3 is fine

[slender yoke]

LOL where from? The Venturer website is legit a 404 page lmao

[clear canyon]

you dont get those drivers from the laptop place, try installing gpu drivers like I said before

[jaunty apex]

Idk what model you have so I cant advise on that.

[slender yoke]

It's a laptop so again I'd have to go via the Venturer website, which is a 404 page

[slender yoke]

CN6814

[jaunty apex]

So just intel drivers

[clear canyon]

man thats a weak ass laptop

[slender yoke]

LOL still runs better than my Dad's Dell

[slender yoke]

Doesn't run

[jaunty apex]

Oh shit venturer-ireland works

[ivory mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/white-people-white-people-dancing-dancing-meme-white-people-when-gif-27164260

[jaunty apex]

No software there.

The non-irish site is all in an asian language - brilliant! 😂

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mHkX6Q
The Case isn’t listed but it’s the Antec AX83 Mid-Tower FRGB and it costs 41$ on my country(it’s not showing in PPP) and the pcu is about 92$ for who wants to know. Coming at about 720$ total. Yeah I don’t think anyone can optimise this since my country is just sooooooo cooked.

[tidal geyser]

Get a used pc

I would take a 1070 over the 1650

[shy olive]

There are kind of robberies now, I don’t live in a big area so the chances of getting basically scammed is 90-10

[shy olive]

I’ll see if any are available

[tidal geyser]

10% is better than this hunk a junk

[shy olive]

No 90%

[tidal geyser]

Aaaa

[shy olive]

the 10% is not getting scammed

[tidal geyser]

Wat

Yeah das what I mean

[shy olive]

My friend bought a used pc and the AMD socket was all bent

[jaunty apex]

1070 doesnt get updates anymore

[tidal geyser]

As in taking the risk and only 10% chance is better than this

[tidal geyser]

Not possible?

[shy olive]

No like, the cpu

Idk what it’s called but the very very small things

[tidal geyser]

Pins

[shy olive]

that are gold

[tidal geyser]

A shit I gotta go

[shy olive]

Yeah

I think I should just order a prebuilt

[random gyro]

from a guy

[tidal geyser]

No

[jaunty apex]

prebuilts are pretty uh.. "robbery-y" too

[random gyro]

what triggers me:
4 sticks of RAM
the gpu fan.. bro i hope the fan below is exhaust

[shy olive]

If you don’t know how to overlock then don’t overclock, someone told me that.

[shy olive]

I mean from a trusted source better than some random Facebook marketplace dude

even if they like charge 100$ bonus tip or whatever

[jaunty apex]

The 5080 OC comes overclocked. Thats what the OC means. Wouldnt recommend doing it more really tbh. MHW just runs like ass. Idk about the disparity though between cards

[shy olive]

no actually I’ll just get a laptop and move to a different country one day

[shy olive]

He probably means he want to overclock it more

[random gyro]

a

[sinful cobalt]

slap +200mhz and max the PL then call it a day ez

[shy olive]

Man idk why overclock an overclocked 5080

[sinful cobalt]

the factory OC does jackshit

its like fucking +10 mhz and it qualifies for OC

[shy olive]

Wait why don’t i just throw the case and use what I currently have(it’s dogshit)

I can save a few bucks

[sinful cobalt]

also his problem could be related to the CPU overhead issue nvidia has rn

combine that with quad channel and boom

[tidal geyser]

What are your current specs

[shy olive]

Go check the build

[shy olive]

Also if you are asking about the current specs of the pc I have, I don’t even use. It’s from 2000 something

[tidal geyser]

This?

[shy olive]

Yeah

[random gyro]

i opened my old laptop a few weeks ago. my dad and his friend did this to the SATA.

[jaunty apex]

hey at least the interposer cable is still intact

[serene eagle]

he has gone mad

[jaunty apex]

These are fragile and impossible to replace

[cold skiff]

That’s some solid tape skills

[serene eagle]

I think you should remove the yellow label

[brave brook]

am i correct to assume that they just put in the SSD wrong way around, requiring bending of the flat cable ?

also damn, there is no point in reporting fake ai scam ads, happened twice in row:

We're writing to let you know that we weren't able to review the ad you reported.
Seems like now they are doing hit & run type of ad campaigns, they only push scam ads for an hour or two and then they delete it, reupload it to another account, repeat

[rigid fjord]

tbf if they're using that 1 rare a320/b450 i do know it's possible

[hoary tree]

Apple wants the equivalent of $2700 for a 1tb 17 pro in my country

[ebon marlin]

The cable? Those can be found on AliExpress/Ebay for very cheap

But eitherway the tape is really easy to get off

Just put some heat to it and slowly peel it

Hairdryer, heat gun iOpener all work well

Yummy

I have no use for this thing but I still got it cuz it was 5€

My cat sleeps exactly like me

When he was little he would sleep with me every night right next to me and now he sleeps exactly like me by sleeping on his arm

[kindred halo]

I see the tape and very bright "remove before installing" paper, but.. What exactly was done wrong here that could compromise the laptop?

Did they use tape instead of screwing it down

If so, please make sure that none of them see the inside of a laptop ever again

[ebon marlin]

Looks like it as there's no screws there

Which is weird because all laptops come with the included screws in their places where another drive could be placed

[kindred halo]

I wonder what the holes and slots for screws are for

AND the included screws

They're probably just for redundancy incase you lose a few, right?

Toootally not to use on the drive you place inside!

[hexed tapir]

[ebon marlin]

Everyone in the game say his full name as Kazuma Kiryu

[ebon marlin]

I don't think I've yet to see anyone say his name as Kiryu Kazuma

[molten patrol]

LinusCatTips 🙂

[kindred halo]

Oh alright

Okay yeah checks out ig

[ebon marlin]

Ough. Activated windows and this thing is still stuck on the screen

[cosmic stratus]

Did you try it with a network connection

[ebon marlin]

Yeah last night I kept on ethernet the whole time while installing drivers and such

For like 8 hours almost forgot to unplug it

I'm on 23H2 currently I believe updating to 24H2 would hopefully fix it although I haven't received any 24H2 updates yet

[cosmic stratus]

The message doesnt seem to imply that it has anything to do with windows activation

[ebon marlin]

Already is

[cosmic stratus]

So this might be a separate issue to activation

[ebon marlin]

Tried multiple system restarts still nothing

[tidal geyser]

why do you have for workstations

[ebon marlin]

Minimal bloatware and unnecessary apps

The original windows of the Acer Nitro laptop it had different pop ups come up every few minutes

[tidal geyser]

so just reinstall windows

and go for something not enterprise

well kinda

[ebon marlin]

I like to keep all my Windows devices as W11PW since it even gets rid of most Windows's bloatware

[tidal geyser]

i just use home and it works without any issues

[cosmic stratus]

I think the workstation version is the reason why this message shows up

[ebon marlin]

Although with the new 24H2 iso that really isn't possible as you can't choose ur version anymore and instead you're forced to install Home and then activate windows to ur corresponding windows version

[tidal geyser]

just disable and uninstall some stuff

[ebon marlin]

I have workstation on my main pc

[ebon marlin]

Nothing there

[random gyro]

i have enterprise

[ebon marlin]

I've heard about these but aren't these temporary and they come back after like a shutdown

[cosmic stratus]

The bottom suggests otherwise

I would give it a try

[ebon marlin]

nothing in my corner

[ebon marlin]

I'll try this in a moment

[cosmic stratus]

Did you copy this version from here

[ebon marlin]

Nah

My windows is 24h2

I grabbed my windows for the laptop from XDA forums

[cosmic stratus]

So not exactly the same as your desktop then

[ebon marlin]

Since they outright removed the option to install W11PW with the new 24H2 version

Even with the multi-edition ISO

Forces you to get Home and then when ur in windows you have to activate windows with ur corresponding version key

That option is awful since Home comes preinstalled with bunch of unnecessary crap and bloat

W11PW was nice since it didn't have any of them so didn't have to waste time deleting them through special software

[cosmic stratus]

Do you know anything about emulation mode

[ebon marlin]

Never heard of that before

First time hearing about that

[cosmic stratus]

Also Apparently "If you're using a non-retail ISO (e.g., an evaluation copy from Microsoft's Volume Licensing Service Center or a leaked/debug build), Windows treats it as a test installation and enables the watermark."

[ebon marlin]

Seems to be a thing for Arm based devices which makes sense why I haven't heard about it

[cosmic stratus]

Sorry I meant evaluation*

[ebon marlin]

Ah

[ebon marlin]

Vlsc seems to be retired lol

[ebon marlin]

This installation isn't evaluation mode and only place where I've even seen evaluation mode is when I was setting up a windows server for a project

[cosmic stratus]

Is your desktop build also from xda

[ebon marlin]

Nah

Mine is directly from Microsoft back when they still let you choose which Windows version to install

I tried to get a version from archive.org but both websites were down when I tried it

[cosmic stratus]

That explains it then. An evaluation copy from vlsc was just an example

[cosmic stratus]

Ok it all makes sense then, watermark is showing up since its a copy

[ebon marlin]

hmm interesting

[cosmic stratus]

Luckily registry edit and restart should remove it permanently

[ebon marlin]

ill check if archive.org is working today to see if I can get a microsoft copy

because this isn't getting 24h2 updates for some reason

[cosmic stratus]

Any special features you're using on that version

[ebon marlin]

oh nice archive.org is working today

[ebon marlin]

unsure but I like keeping the hardware upto date for security updates and such

since 23h2 is losing support in 2 months iirc

[cosmic stratus]

Otherwise I would have just created a boot drive with rufus to skip bloat from manufacturer and then just use BRU for regular ms bloat

[ebon marlin]

already used Rufus to skip most microsoft slop

[cosmic stratus]

Ah ok

[ebon marlin]

slow as hell damn

been loading for like a minute or 2 now

man, I remember when I used archive.org to install entirety of Black ops 2 and 1 for plutonium and they instantly downloaded

[rigid fjord]

24h2 can be gotten direct fropm microsoft

[ebon marlin]

I already mentioned why I don't like or want to install 24h2

I want to get 23h2 to update to 24h2 instead

[rigid fjord]

rufus might be able to download the iso for 23h2 itself

it always has downloading iso's as an option

[rigid fjord]

fustrating

personally i have win10 22h2 which could be updated to win 11 instead

[inner veldt]

Why installing 24h2

[ebon marlin]

unsure about that option as wasn't there a bunch of issues when updating from windows 10 to windows 11

everyone recommended to do a fresh install of w11 instead

[ebon marlin]

I'm not

tryna find a 23h2 version to update to 24h2

[mint umbra]

Is the difference really a big issue between the updates lol

[ebon marlin]

why I want 23H2

[mint umbra]

Can't you just remove the bloatwear

[mint umbra]

Like most shit you can just uninstall

[ebon marlin]

shakes butt

[mint umbra]

Or isn't there that. Mini11 or whatever which is an installl without the bloat I'm pretty sure

[ebon marlin]

I'd prefer official windows

I plugged back my ethernet cable forgot I was still on wifi and now nothing works and neither is my keyboard for some reason

https://tenor.com/view/mort-crying-scared-gif-21887116

The CIA is on to me

Nah genuinely how the fuck did my keyboard stop working when I plugged my ethernet cable in

My keyboard is plugged into my monitor

[mint umbra]

When will Samsung and Apple use silicon carbon batteries

[ebon marlin]

Probably with the S26 line due to how awful Samsung's batteries are

[opaque bay]

apparently card readers can actually self destruct if they're smacked and you gotta buy a new one

[mint umbra]

They are no worse than apple batteries

[ebon marlin]

Apple has smaller batteries but they're still better than Samsung

The iPhone 16 Plus is 2nd place in gsmarenas battery performance list

[mint umbra]

Prob cuz apple chip is more efficient or some shit

[opaque bay]

the humble game boy

[mint umbra]

I doubt its issue with the battery it self

[ebon marlin]

Apple's chips can be quite power hungry

[mint umbra]

Like it's a battery ain't much you can do with a battery

[ebon marlin]

The A18 pro chip can eat upto 12w of power

[opaque bay]

thats a hearty diet

[mint umbra]

I mean samsungs get pretty hot too

Hear s26 is moving away from boxy design for the ultra

And going with more rounded edges like the rest

[opaque bay]

bruh the phone companies need to choose

i cant believe i just misspelled "choose"

[mint umbra]

Feel like ultra should keep box design

[opaque bay]

im going to bed

[mint umbra]

It's kinda iconic for that line up

[ebon marlin]

The Ultra line was cool for it's boxy design it's nice for content consumption but fortunately there's chinese brands keeping up that design still

HMD also has a boxy design phone but the screen edges are still curved instead of boxy which is such a stupid design

[mint umbra]

Can't use Chinese brands where I live

[ebon marlin]

Such a missed opportunity

[mint umbra]

Phone providers won't support them on their network

But idk if I'd really want Chinese phone

Aside from like op

[ebon marlin]

I saw someone said they called to a canadian ISP and said that their Oneplus is an iPhone and they got their network working lol

[mint umbra]

Buying stuff straight from China is sus

Idk what's real vs fake

[ebon marlin]

Buy from reputable brands/sites and you have nothing to worry about

[mint umbra]

Half the shit on like AliExpress are fake knock offs

From my experience using them

Like you will have like 10 listings of the same item and have no idea which one is real

[ebon marlin]

Aliexpress has alot of real products

[mint umbra]

Lmao

What 1/10

[ebon marlin]

I have a Realme GT 7 Pro which is directly sold from China through tradingshenzen

[mint umbra]

Cuz everytime I search something up there's like a billion things with same exact name and prices vary alot between these listings

[ebon marlin]

when looking up the same phone through Ali you can see these which are all real phones

[mint umbra]

So can't trust that site

[ebon marlin]

that's normal even in ur local stores lol

[mint umbra]

No it's not

[ebon marlin]

each store sells the same product at different prices

this is normal and happens everywhere

no stores sell all the same exact product for the same exact price

[mint umbra]

Not products with same name and same brand

[ebon marlin]

yes with products same name and brand

[mint umbra]

Never ran into that issue in real stores

[ebon marlin]

S25 Ultra as an example

[exotic valley]

I have friends living in shenzhen however personally myself I live in Beijing just nearby the Tiananmen Square

[ebon marlin]

all of these are the same model titanium black 256gb S25 Ultra

prices vary from 1000-1500€ depending on where you buy it from

[mint umbra]

Those are diff prices on diff websites that not the same

[ebon marlin]

this is also a thing in Canada in real stores

[mint umbra]

When buying at the same store

Your not getting exact same product multiple times

[ebon marlin]

you do know Aliexpress aren't selling the products on Aliexpress

Aliexpress is a marketplace where other people can sell their products on

[mint umbra]

Like on Amazon I don't see 30 listings on a apple watch 6 or something

[ebon marlin]

you can

[mint umbra]

Never have

I don't trust shit so much cheaper than the rest

Too good to be true kinda shit

[ebon marlin]

makes sense given for who you are

[exotic valley]

Do you guys think enabling ray tracing is worth getting a single digit frame rate?

[ebon marlin]

yes

[exotic valley]

Same

[mint umbra]

I never use ray tracing lol

Shit only actually makes a difference in a handful of games

[ebon marlin]

cause on Amazon it's all grouped up here

[mint umbra]

Those are just refurbished

[ebon marlin]

ah hey look different Apple Watch 6 sellers on the same listing

[mint umbra]

Refurbished ain't the same deal

[ebon marlin]

you're not getting an apple watch 6 for brand new buddy

you really are not the brightest aren't you

[exotic valley]

It’s def making a real difference on my fps counter though

[mint umbra]

Mate I just said apple watch 6 as an example

I don't even know what apple version they are on

[ebon marlin]

10

[mint umbra]

Feels like yearly releases of shit is too much

[silver epoch]

Hey does anyone have any information about the rx7400? AMD "released" it a month ago but other than the alleged release I can't find anything.

Only performance metric I can find is alleged gameplay footage from a Chinese gaming channel. (Seems to have double performance compared to rx6400).

What's wrong with AMD? Why can I only find it in Dell prebuilts?

[mint umbra]

Either way I don't trust China market places

[ebon marlin]

cause that's what they're meant for

[ebon marlin]

you're funny

[silver epoch]

[mint umbra]

AliExpress no better than temu from my experience using it

Rather just use Amazon

[ebon marlin]

Amazon is no better

[silver epoch]

I swear monkeys would run Radeon division better

[ebon marlin]

Amazon is exactly like Aliexpress and Temu

they are alike marketplaces

fun fact Amazon is full of chinese sellers

[mint umbra]

AliExpress shipping is too long

[ebon marlin]

eh 2 weeks for me which isn't bad

[mint umbra]

2 weeks is too long

[ebon marlin]

2 weeks for quality products for cheap I don't mind

[mint umbra]

Was getting a case for a tablet and was no cheaper in AliExpress

Both like 20 bucks

Depends on what its wether is cheap or not

[exotic valley]

I don’t personally use aliexpress and temu but only their premium versions.
Taobao as a premium aliexpress, pinduoduo a premium temu. All of the items are guaranteed for 3 days shipping, and the majority of them arrives the same day or the next day.

[ebon marlin]

have recently bought alot of phone repair tools on Aliexpress since the other markets resell the same exact product for a significantly higher markup

[exotic valley]

Also cheaper too at a better quality

[mint umbra]

Taobao don't even sound real lmao

[exotic valley]

Only available to mainland China though

[mint umbra]

I bought one thing from temu never again

[ebon marlin]

when you buy something cheap expect cheap quality buddy

[ebon marlin]

doesn't take a genius to figure that out

[mint umbra]

I bought a screen protector from AliExpress and the finger print scan wouldn't work anymore

So got rid of it

[exotic valley]

Currently have 10 items still in shipping

[ebon marlin]

for what phone

[mint umbra]

Other tempered glass screen protectors I never had issues with

Finger scan

[ebon marlin]

cause some phones use other types of fingerprint scans like Samsung so glass screen protectors don't work with them

[mint umbra]

Op13

[ebon marlin]

with Samsung you're basically forced to use plastic as ur screen protector

[rigid fjord]

nope, you end up with less performance and require dlss to claim back most of the performance

[mint umbra]

I had s23 ultra has no issues with tempered glass

Same with their tablets

[ebon marlin]

their tablets don't use ultrasonic fingerprint scanners

[mint umbra]

So explain the phone then buddy

[ebon marlin]

my girlfriend has a S23 Ultra and she's forced to use a ugly screen protector that has a little circle where the fingerprint is for the fingerpritn scan to work due to the use of ultrasonic sensor being used

[mint umbra]

I've had more issues with screen protectors with op 13 than any Samsung phone

Cuz of finger scan not working

[rigid fjord]

i've bought multiple things from temu, just like aliexpress, you need to search properly

[ebon marlin]

that's cuz you're using tempered glass over a ultrasonic sensor it won't work

[mint umbra]

I had same shit on the s23

And worked fine

[ebon marlin]

that's a lie

because Ultrasonic sensors don't work over tempered glass without having a finger cutout like this

[rigid fjord]

a reason to enjoy iphones so much so

glass screen protector, and it still works through it for the unlocking by fingerprint

[ebon marlin]

Ultrasonic sensor is nice for security but it sucks for protection as for screen protectors you're forced to use a screen protector that either has a finger cutout if it's a glass one and if you don't want that you're forced to use hydrogel which doesn't protect aswell due to it being plastic

[mint umbra]

Used this screen protector and never had issues

With finger scan

[ebon marlin]

it's probably very thin glass then which won't survive anything

yeah, "ultra-thin"

this will only protect you from scratches lol

[mint umbra]

What are you doing with ur phone where a case and normal screen protector ain't enough

[ebon marlin]

I'm using the pre-applied screen protector on my phone it's enough for me for now

[mint umbra]

Do you run it over with ur car

Like I don't need a tank of a screen protector

[ebon marlin]

but my girlfriend is a little clumsy and she needs a proper screen protector which an ultra-thin screen protector won't work

[thin plover]

I don't even use screen protectors

[ebon marlin]

yummy scratched screen

[mint umbra]

Even if your clumsy most phones have strong enough glass you don't even need screen protector

On my op13 I haven't used screen protector

Cuz they don't work with finger scan

[ebon marlin]

I don't think my girlfriend would want to pay 200€ for a screen repair

[ebon marlin]

get a hydrogel screen protector since ur phone uses a ultrasonic fingerprint sensor

[mint umbra]

Those feel like shit

[ebon marlin]

eh not really

all Oneplus phones come included with a hydrogel screen protector pre-applied

[edgy holly]

i use one

[ebon marlin]

feels like glass to me

[edgy holly]

it's been scratched since like

[mint umbra]

It started peeling and removed it

[edgy holly]

over a year or two now

but im waiting until its really really broken before i cahnge it

[ebon marlin]

Oneplus has very excellent hydrogel

wish they'd sell em as other hydro-gels aren't as great

[mint umbra]

Im good

I don't plan on keeping phone for much longer

[ebon marlin]

that's an issue with curved screens

curved screens aren't great for hydrogel

but for curved screens they're also like the only choice

[mint umbra]

Prob will sell for a Samsung or Google phone soonish

[ebon marlin]

you'd be cutting ur battery life in half if you'd get a pixel 10

[mint umbra]

Mate I don't need a phone that last 2 days

[ebon marlin]

new Pixel's are absolute dogshit

[mint umbra]

As long as it lasts untill I get home from work

Idc about the battery

[ebon marlin]

The Pixel is a record holder for the worst mobile device with worst battery

nvm it's 2nd place I missed the S23 FE

[mint umbra]

All I need for a phone is web browsing and basic shit

Not like I use it for work

[edgy holly]

im ngl ill prolly get a pixel for my next phone

or maybe go with nothing again idk

[mint umbra]

I haven't tried pixel

So want to try

[ebon marlin]

I'd recommend waiting for Pixel 11 or getting a Pixel 9 instead

[mint umbra]

Didn't the 10 just come out

[ebon marlin]

Pixel 10 line is a big disappointment

Yes and it's a huge disappointment

[mint umbra]

Battery not that big of a deal

[lapis talon]

Me when I was choosing the s24 ultra

[ebon marlin]

For Pixel it is when they're on the bottom of the list for battery performance

[mint umbra]

Like before batteries were small as shit

[lapis talon]

Nanakusa pfp

[mint umbra]

Ppl are just spoiled

Now

[ebon marlin]

Pal can make an excuse for anything lmao

You're an interesting specimen Damocles

[mint umbra]

And expecting 2 day batteries

[exotic valley]

Is there a way to increase the GPU voltage with my rtx 4070 ti super?

[mint umbra]

Bro I just think there ain't mich diff in most of the phones this days

[ebon marlin]

Afterburner?

[lapis talon]

I saw that the Poco F7 has a 7550 mah battery but only has a SOD of ~7 hours

[mint umbra]

Like what an I doing with my phone where I need 2 day battery

[ebon marlin]

Poor optimization

[exotic valley]

Yeh however that value is fixed in afterburner for my card

[lapis talon]

Yup

[mint umbra]

I still plug in my phone every night

[lapis talon]

It's Xiaomi after all

[mint umbra]

So what does this battery real help with lol

[lapis talon]

Was a hard choice going for a flagship for me because I wasn't sure if I wanted to drop a grand on a phone

[ebon marlin]

although does have active use score time that's on par with the S25 Ultra

[lapis talon]

But oh well I'm satisfied so far

[edgy holly]

ngl im waiting till my phone gives out

did the same with my last phones

[mint umbra]

Might just get s26

When it drops

[lapis talon]

I'm talking about the Indian variant, as that's the only one available in my country for some reason

[ebon marlin]

I switch phones every few months

[mint umbra]

Rich

[ebon marlin]

i'm not rich

[exotic valley]

is this result good? however this is as high as i can go without tweaking the GPU voltage.

[lapis talon]

As painful as it was, I watched a few Indian reviews on the phone and most of them said you get a SOT of around 7-7.5 hours without any sort of gaming

[ebon marlin]

I like testing out new phones and such to see how they are

[mint umbra]

Mate if you using a new phone every few months ur rich

[exotic valley]

sucks to be me

[edgy holly]

just financially irresponsible ?

[ebon marlin]

I'm not buying brand new phones

[mint umbra]

Alot of ppl can barley afford one phone

[ebon marlin]

yes as I own 6 laptops and 7 phones currently

[lapis talon]

This is apparently "not rich"

[mint umbra]

Like I said rich

[lapis talon]

I got a new phone after 7 years broda

[ebon marlin]

I'm not rich

I'm currently broke

I have 18€ in my bank account currently

[mint umbra]

I only get a phone after it breaks

[lapis talon]

Maybe don't switch to another phone for a few months

[ebon marlin]

currently my money is all in assets

aka phones and laptops

[mint umbra]

Who needs more than one laptop

Or phone

[ebon marlin]

I like testing out new things

[mint umbra]

Expensive hobby

[rigid fjord]

gorrila case for protection ftw

[lapis talon]

I patched up my crusty old one like a billion times

[mint umbra]

Idk what phone I should get for my next one

Cuz I'm prob won't be able to use current one for much longer

[rigid fjord]

nope, they still need it

[edgy holly]

holy fuck

[mint umbra]

I haven't used one in like 4 years lol

[lapis talon]

The Huawei Tri Folding one

[mint umbra]

Well more like 3 actually

[mint umbra]

Lemme just take out a bank loan for that one

[ebon marlin]

I bought 2 gaming laptops in the last 2 days

[mint umbra]

Huawei isn't supported in my country

[edgy holly]

yeah very financially irresponsible 💔

[thin plover]

67

[ebon marlin]

I only buy them since they're good deals

[mint umbra]

So could never get Huawei products

[edgy holly]

https://tenor.com/view/67-gif-5483197446160735263

[mint umbra]

Same with many Chinese phones

Canada cell providers don't play nice with China

[random gyro]

anyone play hollow knight silksong here?

[lapis talon]

Isn't it a universal thing

[ebon marlin]

Bought this i5 12450H Rtx 2050 laptop for 265 + shipping and this Lenovo Legion 5 for 385 + shipping

[mint umbra]

Idk I thought it was different in EU

[lapis talon]

Ohh

[mint umbra]

Since I always here ppl talk about Xiaomi phones

[lapis talon]

Our country has some of the worst phone brands ever and people still buy them like crazy

[ebon marlin]

Great deals when comparable Rtx 3060 laptops here go for 500-600€

[mint umbra]

But don't think I could get them

[lapis talon]

So you can mostly find just Chinese phones here

[ebon marlin]

Xiaomi is lowkey overrated

[lapis talon]

I used to use a Xiaomi up until January

Not because I liked it, but because I couldn't get a new phone

[mint umbra]

Xiaomi better than Samsung

[lapis talon]

Cap

[ebon marlin]

anything is better than a Samsung

[mint umbra]

Samsung is overpriced

[ebon marlin]

that's a very low bar lmao

[lapis talon]

Not a cap^

[mint umbra]

Samsung thinks they are apple

[mint umbra]

Apple just as bad

[rigid fjord]

if you can find a slim sata 2.5 drive, you might be able to have 3x ssd's in the legion 5 that you got

[mint umbra]

Samsung and Apple are same quality

[ebon marlin]

Apple is not bad they're in their own lane

[lapis talon]

Only reason to go for Samsung imo is that it's Android

[ebon marlin]

the legion doesn't support sata iirc

[lapis talon]

And youre not restricted to using just Samsung products

[mint umbra]

Mate ive seen you hate on Samsung and Google do you hate anything that isn't Chinese brand

Lol

[lapis talon]

I remember asking a few people about which phone to get

[ebon marlin]

who? me?

[lapis talon]

And somehow everyone kept recommending the Vivo phones

[mint umbra]

The Samsung ultra series is often highest rated android of the year

[lapis talon]

Like dawg I don't want a vivo

[mint umbra]

So idk how you can say they all shit

[ebon marlin]

maybe cuz they're like the biggest mainstream Android phone manufacturer

[lapis talon]

Doesn't mean all Chinese phones are good

[mint umbra]

You just seen like a hipster who hating on what's popular

[ebon marlin]

I haven't said that

[lapis talon]

Tecno, Vivo, infinix and whatever are all dogwater imo

[ebon marlin]

what?

[lapis talon]

The bloatware is crazy and the UI is buggy

[true stirrup]

Like Huawei

[quick stag]

hi

[ebon marlin]

those are all dogshit except Vivo they're good but their software is kinda holding them back

[mint umbra]

Like I don't see issues with s25 other than the price

[lapis talon]

I'm just saying, not saying it to you specifically

[sinful cobalt]

and for some reason the 990 pro here in SG is the best ssd with dram in price unless its a puny 1tb

[kindred halo]

Roblox is making me clear the thumbnail cache because this dogshite launcher doesn't work properly </3

[edgy holly]

typical

[kindred halo]

Morbillion Dollar company yet can't make a stable engine

[lapis talon]

That's the reason why I don't like Vivo either

[sinful cobalt]

sn850 sometimes more expensive

[ebon marlin]

dram is unneccessary in nvme's

[lapis talon]

Probably busy gooning to their users

[mint umbra]

Like if Samsung is bad what's considered a good android phone

Lol

[edgy holly]

too busy grooming childrens 💔

[kindred halo]

Got an error that simply means "Oopsie daisies something happened and we don't want to help you, send us an incident report file so we can say fuck you and ignore you!"

[lapis talon]

I like Samsung mainly because of the OS, although this might trigger some people

[ebon marlin]

that depends on what you're looking for in a phone

[kindred halo]

Googled it, need to delete, reinstall, remove temp files, and allow administrator privileges

[kindred halo]

Speaking of

One time, in a roblox game

I met a YouTuber for one of roblox's larger games

[mint umbra]

Too many androids just go apple

[kindred halo]

A few months later he got outed for being a kiddy diddler

[ebon marlin]

inside of the laptop

[lapis talon]

There are many YouTubers on Roblox that have done that

[kindred halo]

Do you know Phantom Forces

[lapis talon]

Yes

[kindred halo]

Do you know WolfDawgz

[sinful cobalt]

NM790- $219
990 Pro- $239 if you can get direct from samsung
Both are before vouchers

[lapis talon]

Didn't the Devs get accused of something?

[kindred halo]

Yes

[true stirrup]

That's completely personal preference
I really like the Xiaomi's HyperOS while I know some people really dislike it

[lapis talon]

Not really, I haven't played PF in over 4 years

[kindred halo]

Large chain of liability

Many diddlers in the staff

[lapis talon]

I liked it at first but it was really buggy

[kindred halo]

One dev got outed and has been allegedly returned under a different alias

[true stirrup]

Yeah it was absolutely horrible on release, everything kept breaking
Now it's completely fine

[kindred halo]

Kiddy diddler that I met ingame

[lapis talon]

Oh wow

[steel umbra]

easy, don’t use roblox

trash platform

[kindred halo]

I think it was Willow?

They got outed for talking to a minor, then "fired"

[lapis talon]

I tried v2.2 last (before I sold my Poco f6)

And it was decent compared to the V2.0

[kindred halo]

Then, someone who has the same position was hired under 24 hours

And many are speculating - with decent evidence - that it's just Willow under a different alias

[ebon marlin]

I personally like BBK Electronic's devices OS's they're pretty much the same just slight minor tweaks but they're all pretty basic

Phone brands that are owned by BBK Electronics

[mint umbra]

Maybe I switch to iOS idk

[kindred halo]

It's a platform that's close to my heart despite how shite it is

[lapis talon]

I got my grandmother a redmi note 13 pro+ and it hasn't received an update in over 8 months so it's stuck with the crappy base version of 2.0

[lapis talon]

Whend you start playing

[kindred halo]

My current account is from 2020

[ebon marlin]

Go ahead

[lapis talon]

Ohh

[kindred halo]

I don't remember exactly when, but as early as 2017 I believe

I used to make burner accounts

[lapis talon]

I started in mid 2017

[kindred halo]

I stuck to my current one in 2020

Which is the origin of this username

[true stirrup]

I actually didn't know it was owned by them
But I guess they only make good stuff lol

[lapis talon]

Crazy to think that I'd be on that platform for almost 10 years soon

[kindred halo]

Although initially it was just Mr not Mrs

[lapis talon]

Sheesh

[kindred halo]

Seeing as how it's almost 20 years old, it's quite common lol

[ebon marlin]

Yeah all of those phone brands are using the same UI under a different name with just minor tweaks

[lapis talon]

I though it was MrSphere or something but I read it just now

[ebon marlin]

They're all basic and simple which is why I like them

[lapis talon]

Still, I started playing because I didn't have anything to do after coming back from school

[kindred halo]

Mr = Idk, just felt right as the suffix
Phantom = I liked the word phantom at the time, before that it was bridge
Lock = Flint LOCKwood

[lapis talon]

So you liked bridges at one point

[kindred halo]

I am pretty sure I started playing by myself after a cousin showed me the game

[kindred halo]

Precisely
I have favourite things and favourite words to go with them

[lapis talon]

Oooo

[kindred halo]

Armoured train was before phantom, forgot to say

[lapis talon]

I started out because I saw this video from some YouTuber at that time

[kindred halo]

Not directly bridge to phantom, it was bridge, then armoured train(s), then phantom

[lapis talon]

"Rage elixir" or whatever

[kindred halo]

On Youtube I was mostly preoccupied with DanTDM, PopularMMOS, and such sorts of content

[lapis talon]

Oh wow

Origin story

[kindred halo]

I got more into it once I started watching DennisDaily & Flamingo

[lapis talon]

I never really watched DanTDM but I did watch PopularMMOs

[ebon marlin]

Yum

[kindred halo]

DanTDM was THE shit back then for me

[lapis talon]

For me, it was DennisDaily at first

[kindred halo]

PopularMMOs were a close second

[lapis talon]

This will sound crazy but I didn't even know about DanTDM back then 😭

[kindred halo]

It's fine dw 😭

[lapis talon]

I'm not from a mainly "English speaking" country so

[kindred halo]

Mostly learned my English from him lmao

[lapis talon]

Those YouTubers weren't even talked about here

[kindred halo]

Which is why I have an English accent by default

[lapis talon]

Us

[lapis talon]

Us²

[kindred halo]

I started with Arab YouTubers, then slowly learned English

[lapis talon]

Thankful that I didn't grow up with the Bangladeshi accent

[kindred halo]

Currently it depends on the situation and context, but I mostly switch between English, American, and a mix of Australian/Irish/Scottish

[lapis talon]

I think I dived straight into English speaking ones

Can't remember exactly when I started watching YouTube so I'm not sure

[lapis talon]

I don't really get the time to watch YouTube videos anymore as I'm busy dealing with my exams

But those were the days

[kindred halo]

Definitely were

[lapis talon]

Coming home from school one day to watch a new Denis video

[kindred halo]

Especially helped with learning English as a dumb little 5 year old

[ebon marlin]

One thing I really appreciate about BBK's OS is they don't try to shove you any ads and you don't have features locked behind something that requires to make an account unlike Samsung

[lapis talon]

REAL

I remember coming home one day and I was excited about the jailbreak volcano event

[kindred halo]

Or 6-7 year old in terms of roblox, 2017-2018

[lapis talon]

But I messed up the time zones and saw that it was at like 2 am my time

With Samsung if you are not signed into a Samsung account you'll keep getting notifications about making a Samsung account or features locked behind a Samsung account

[kindred halo]

I mostly frequented two specific games

[violet beacon]

is it worth buying RX 6600 XT 8gb for 180euros? I have geforce 1030

[kindred halo]

Natural Disaster Survival & The Normal Elevator

[lapis talon]

I played random stuff

[ebon marlin]

You can get an used 6700xt for that price I'd suggest that instead

[lapis talon]

The Normal Elevator was the thing I played most after Jailbreak

[kindred halo]

I had a fairly wide array of games but those two were the core

[lapis talon]

I actually started playing Roblox on an iPad which I accidentally found

[kindred halo]

Zeppelin Wars, Work At A Pizza Place, Flee The Facility, etc

[true stirrup]

Xiaomi also removed their account requirement for their OS
There are still banner ADs when you download something tho but I don't even notice them anymore

[lapis talon]

It was in my grandfather's cupboard, and apparently he got it as a gift

[kindred halo]

I started on a Lenovo tablet with 16gb of storage

[lapis talon]

Idk how but I had crazy intuition as a kid

[ebon marlin]

I get absolutely no ads with my devices

[lapis talon]

Sheesh

[true stirrup]

Awesome

[lapis talon]

I remember trying to get Roblox to work on my really old, almost ancient laptop

[kindred halo]

Sergeant Doakes incarnate:

[lapis talon]

But the laptop was too old and refused to download Roblox

[kindred halo]

The laptop I used to play it on was my dad's old work laptop

[lapis talon]

😭

[kindred halo]

I3 3rd gen, 4gb of RAM

[lapis talon]

Sameee

[lapis talon]

I gotta check what specs mine has

[kindred halo]

I used to stay up all night playing SCP 3008

[lapis talon]

I only ever watched Flamingo and Denis play that

[kindred halo]

It's insanely fun

[lapis talon]

My laptop would lag like crazy if I tried running that

[kindred halo]

You can build your own home lmao

[kindred halo]

Idk how but it ran at a smooth 30 fps

I don't remember that unfortunately

[lapis talon]

I bought one to play it

A

I bought a VIP server to play 3008

[kindred halo]

OH OH, did you ever play Survive The Night??

[lapis talon]

But forgot to cancel it

[lapis talon]

Not sure

[kindred halo]

Is it still draining your robux lmao

[lapis talon]

It's only like 10 robux

I'll cancel it later

[kindred halo]

I had a 25 robux private server on Gas Station simulator for me and my partner
Forgot to cancel it </3

Kept losing robux and didn't know why

I just cancelled the server

[lapis talon]

Me when I bought Build a Boat for treasure vip servers

[abstract wigeon]

is there any harm is forcing my monitor into an oled panel refresh every night? i cant over do it right?

[lapis talon]

I bought 3 at once for some reason

[kindred halo]

SPEAKING OF

[lapis talon]

Real 😭😭

[kindred halo]

I have a boat just named "The Magic School Bus"

It's my main boat

[lapis talon]

Oh wow

I don't even play the game anymore

[kindred halo]

I don't know how I came up with that name at 11 😭

[kindred halo]

I just frequent two games now

[lapis talon]

I had this shark boat thing made by my friend on share mode

[ebon marlin]

I'm taking a shit rn

[kindred halo]

Guts & Blackpowder, and BRM5

[lapis talon]

And that's the only notable one

[kindred halo]

Oh that's cool

[lapis talon]

Too much cocomelon

[lapis talon]

Not even finished

[kindred halo]

... The Magic School Bus? The show?

[lapis talon]

I didn't have enough blocks at that time

But now I have like 100k of 2 types

[lapis talon]

I dunno anything about cocomelon

Just know that my monkey rat cousins watch it

[kindred halo]

What's cocomelon have to do with this, mane </3

It's a show from 1994

[lapis talon]

Thought that name was from cocomelon as I've heard the name before

[lapis talon]

Ohh

That's good

[kindred halo]

Never watched it before but felt like a funny name for a boat

[little fossil]

Mfs are out here doing cloudflare edits now 😭😭😭

What even is humor in the big 25

[ebon marlin]

I've seen them they like to pose as cybersecurity experts

I'm ready to bet money that they don't even know the basics

[little fossil]

True but shrugging off 11 terabits/second in half a minute is just aurafarming

[quartz echo]

Can someone recommend me a laptop for lectures? Windows 11 and not a macbook. £800

[exotic valley]

how is the performance

[tidal geyser]

custom

[exotic valley]

basically a default run, i just disabled demo

[tidal geyser]

no

[ancient lion]

Asus X79 Ram Initialization has got to be the worst thing ever

I'd take 10 Instances of Corsair ICUE bleeding my ram over this

[grizzled frost]

any server platform takes forever to ram train

[ancient lion]

the issue is that I always get an Error in C1 and C2 stating Abnormal Ram Stick, then I reseat both, 1 works the other doesnt

I reseat the other, that one works, the other does not again

Until at some point both work 😭

[exotic valley]

i have overclocked my 4070ti super roughly 10% now

[ancient lion]

and now let it run some games to see if its actually stable

[abstract wigeon]

any ideas why my bluetooth never works on boot and i always have to unplug replug the usb dongle? win11

[exotic valley]

been running port royal for several hours now and it is stable

[limpid dune]

This is completely wrong, there's no way a 2080Ti should even be on this chart. Maybe it picked an LN2 run as an example?

remember: DON'T USE AI ON CHARTS OF NUMBERS (or really numbers in general)

[limpid dune]

you can usually do it for one "run" and that's enough

[limpid dune]

chatGPT ranks the 3080Ti above the 3090Ti lmaoooo

I mean they're close, but no way it's beating it

[grizzled frost]

For OC, it's best to run a longer test

[grizzled frost]

LLMs love to hallucinate

[limpid dune]

I find it more useful to test different "things" than to do one test for a long time... eg. I'll do 10m of RTX, 10m of raster, 10m of Blender, 10m of hashcat, 10m of LLMs (instead of ten hours of just RTX)

4000 series behaves weirdly on Hashcat tho (because split ALUs)

[ancient lion]

It's more useful to test multiple games than just 1 test for loops

Your OC can be 3dm stable for hours and still crash in new world or BF6

[molten patrol]

@limpid dune it worked 👏

[grizzled frost]

why are you spending the money on water cooling for a 3060

and with a "universal" cooler at that

[molten patrol]

bcus my royale pretor is coming and no point wasting my current aio 🤷‍♂️

reuse 👍

[grizzled frost]

how are you cooling the VRMs or VRAM

[molten patrol]

passive cooling from case airflow 🙂

[grizzled frost]

What are the temps like under load

[molten patrol]

2nd pic i sent 🙂

[grizzled frost]

Doesn't show memory or VRM temps

[molten patrol]

o wait that one idk 🤣

[grizzled frost]

I'm gonna guess not great given your GPU hot spot temp got to 105.2c

[midnight meteor]

What’s your solution for sag from the weight?

[charred hare]

Why Mark S. Zuckerberg Is Suing Facebook’s Parent Company - The New York Times https://share.google/AdUMPPjFc7nABT4Ac

[limpid dune]

LMAOOOOO I didn't think you were actually gonna do it, let's GOOO

[molten patrol]

• i use 4 zipties only lol

[grizzled frost]

who needs even mounting pressure anyways

[limpid dune]

given it's a huge and very crackable die, maybe it's better off without much pressure 😅

[limpid dune]

we SAG in this mf PC cuh 🔥

[grizzled frost]

I mean it should have decent mount pressure, but you're not gonna do that in a safe manner with zipties

[midnight meteor]

This is worse than normal sag cause it’s a weight on a specific point not just the card hanging by the slot

[molten patrol]

at first i try it with the aio mount.......too ugly then i removed it lol

[grizzled frost]

I'm just curious to see what the memory and VRM temps are like

[limpid dune]

my friend was doing this on a radeon V340L (aka two Vega 64s on one card except they're 16GB each) and she had it in a server horizontally so no sag

and her VRM temps were fine because it uses HBM2 on-die

and she used some bolts she stole from home depot

[grizzled frost]

given they're getting zero cooling

[harsh vector]

Do you guys charge your mice with the cable included? Is it safe to use the charger I use for my ipad?

[grizzled frost]

Yes

As long as it's USB-C it's perfectly safe

USB-C Power Delivery first requires negotiation of charging power, so your device will provide it's power limit and the power brick will abide by it

[tidal geyser]

this is the point of usb-c

you should not be thinking about it

unless you are nintendo or that NAS company usb-c charger is PD

[abstract wigeon]

unless its not usbc its just usbc shaped

[tidal geyser]

usb-c is usb-c

[tidal geyser]

not a thing
