[azure topaz]

yeah

[glacial oyster]

yes 7900xt

[azure topaz]

yeah sounds about right just ddu and hope it works

[left dove]

speaking of this but this card is like inaudible at 100%

[glacial oyster]

ok thanks

[azure topaz]

start downloading 7900XT drivers from amd site

then use ur ddu tool and guide and follow it and then reinstall

[glacial oyster]

not the adrenaline app?

[azure topaz]

yes

not the adrenaline app. straight from the site

[glacial oyster]

ok

[azure topaz]

you will not have the adrenalin app after DDU, because you wont have any drivers

this is different than a typical driver uninstall and reinstall cause DDU makes sure it does a good job getting rid of anything

[glacial oyster]

alright

i hit the clean and restart

now we wait

[azure topaz]

yhep

any time something similar happens, your first step should be to ddu and download the latest drivers for a reinstall

if that doesnt work you can start complaining to reddit that amd is bad or something idk

[exotic valley]

if you have to enable one feature to reach the optimal frame rate, which one would you choose?

FG or DLSS

[azure topaz]

dlss lol

[azure topaz]

this is a process you should get familiar with. useful info for any gpu brand cause its honestly the fastest way of wiping out any suspicions of driver corruption or performance issues

[glacial oyster]

installing the driver now

[azure topaz]

damn thing is dusty

clean that shawty out

[glacial oyster]

shhhhh

i was planning on cleaning it today but shit happend

will do this weekend ig

[azure topaz]

eduster my belove

[glacial oyster]

7min of this tractor

it sounds like its gonna blow up in my face lol

and its vibrating the desk like CRAAZY

[brave brook]

oh btw absolutely awesome result.
Last friday: Dad's phone stolen, he was sad.
Saturday: bought a replacement phone for him.
Sunday: Started setting it up
Tuesday: Dad calls, police found his phone.
Wed: Dad got his phone, no damage at all, just phone was reset and he obviously had to get a new SIM card
Thur: Reset the phone i bought on Saturday, sent it back for refund.
Today: Confirmed by store that they sent the refund back to my card

huge success

[azure topaz]

😭 hhpoefully it locks in

[azure topaz]

yooo fire

[glacial oyster]

restarting now

[lapis furnace]

Setup done ✅

[brave brook]

the most surprising part is that police found his phone

[distant frigate]

https://youtu.be/bZ3KSeonnuQ?si=2SF2InNnQ5Wvrxc4 lmao wtf

I mean Elon has a shit ton of money but still

Why would Elon want to buy Verizon

[glacial oyster]

its restarted and that fucking tractor sound hasnt stopped

atleast now it detects the monitor and its shit

[distant frigate]

Elon doesn’t manage fiber networks or cellular networks

He knows how to manage his own satellite company

[azure topaz]

try unplugging and replugging maybe look if a fan died and it’s trying to save itself

[glacial oyster]

unplugging what?

[azure topaz]

whole thing

[glacial oyster]

both monitors are back working

[brave brook]

Elon actually has no money, he has lot of assets he can borrow against. That is also how billionaires don't pay taxes

[glacial oyster]

turn it off first?

[distant frigate]

Hmmm

[brave brook]

i think i can see a bit of PC under the dust

[azure topaz]

this is the dumbest question you’ve asked which is honestly not bad

[brave brook]

he spent literally $0 of his own assets to buy Twitter

[glacial oyster]

yippe

[brave brook]

they borrow against their stock portfolios, so they borrow against unrealized gains. And because they are unrealized gains, they are not taxable.

[azure topaz]

e duster.

interesting how the dust settles when they’re vertical

[distant frigate]

I see

[austere lion]

hello I’m sorry if this is dumb but I need help 😭 my pc “crashed” (idk what really happened) but pc itself is still on and running but it keeps disconnecting from my monitor it went black and it’s doing more than usual

[fickle ivy]

I got one on my school account

[hexed tapir]

You see these untaxed fluctuating in price assets, could I take out a loan using them? Is such a dumb system man

[gleaming rose]

DDU and reinstall the graphics driver

[verbal prawn]

don't ask to ask just ask

[austere lion]

okay so it’s okay if I force shut down my pc since I can’t see what’s on the monitor rn and then try it ? I just heard force shutting it can mess with it

[glacial oyster]

yes its okay

[azure topaz]

yo. pharaohs curse was stored in that psu

[glacial oyster]

unplugged replugged everything

still same shit

[zinc matrix]

why did you unplug

[glacial oyster]

because i was told to

i was told it would prolly fiz it

fix*

[zinc matrix]

fix what

[azure topaz]

i meant take out and put back in the gpu lol

[glacial oyster]

i did

i unplugged literally every cable inside

and re seated the gpu

[zinc matrix]

even cpu fan header?

[azure topaz]

ah my bad

[glacial oyster]

yes everything

[zinc matrix]

whats the issue tho

[azure topaz]

are we sure it’s the gpu making noise? 100% right?

[zinc matrix]

my gpu is making noise

[glacial oyster]

nope

[zinc matrix]

its making a buzzing sound

[glacial oyster]

i dont know where the sound is coming from lol

1sec let me open it

[azure topaz]

you can stop fans by using your finger in the middle and pushing gently

[clear canyon]

Its called coil whine, its normal

[azure topaz]

stop fans 1 by 1 in your computer until you find it

[zinc matrix]

yeah haha we figured yesterday 😄

[zinc matrix]

instructions unclear now my pp is bleeding

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/hmmm-thinking-batman-gif-14744673

[glacial oyster]

i think its the one in the radiator thing

cpu cooler

the one i cant stop

because its between the cpu cooler towers

[zinc matrix]

turn off cpu cooler

and listen

[glacial oyster]

from bios?

[zinc matrix]

I was able to control from software

when I had an air cooler

idk if you have software for your cooler

[glacial oyster]

i have deepcool

i think its banned

[zinc matrix]

yeah i had deepcool too

[glacial oyster]

1sec

[vestal dirge]

could someone check my 7600x vs 14600k thread in #1106613567966429224

[glacial oyster]

no option to turn it off whatsoever

i dont think it even knows its a deepcool cpu cooler

let me try armory crate

[ivory river]

Hello uh. May i require some assistance with my monitor? No idea how this started

[zinc matrix]

how old is it

[ivory river]

if i remember correctly, like 2 or 3 years old

[zinc matrix]

looks like its dead ngl

[ivory river]

oh yeah, but it's currently dying. it went back to normal but twitching with jagged lines

[queen spire]

What does this mean

[zinc matrix]

important file is missing

press F1

[glacial oyster]

huh?

[zinc matrix]

funny

[glacial oyster]

im trying to lower the speed of the cpu fan

[zinc matrix]

what gpu u got

[zinc matrix]

still got warranty?

[ivory river]

how can i check? my monitor is an aoc

[queen spire]

?

[zinc matrix]

good question idk

probably first check when u bought it and then how much warranty you got at the time of your purchase

[zinc matrix]

your windows is saying you're missing a crucial file so you wanna repair it by pressing F1

[glacial oyster]

7900xt

[ivory river]

okay, will do

[glacial oyster]

yeah no im sure now something is in the cpu inside the cpu tower

when its at lower speed the noise gets lower

[zinc matrix]

remove it

usually you can remove all fans from deepcool coolers

at least from my old one lemme grab it

[glacial oyster]

yeah i know i can

but i still need a fan there i think

[azure topaz]

as long as theres one

[azure topaz]

then take out the fans and clear the block

its not that hard i trust you can figure it out again

[queen spire]

F1 not working

[azure topaz]

somethings hittin the fan or something

if its the fan itself just get rid of it and only use the 1 that works, itll be fine

[glacial oyster]

u sure?

i have a 9800x3d

[azure topaz]

it should be okay until you can replace the fan or cooler for sure

as long as there is a fan on the cpu cooler it should be okay

i ran a 280 aio with only 1 fan cause the other one i had for it started ticking

i ran it like that for like a year and a half

it was fine the entire time

[glacial oyster]

i love asus

been like this for 15min

must be fun working for them

[glacial oyster]

aight

[azure topaz]

use the bios

armory crate is malware

[glacial oyster]

anyways

@azure topaz@zinc matrix thanks so much for the help

[random gyro]

IT interships such man

[ivory river]

unfortunately found no records of the purchasing date and no warranty either

[random gyro]

Im treated like a monkey in a cage

[azure topaz]

yup. all working?

[glacial oyster]

yeah it was the cpu cooler cable

the one that connects the 2 cpu coolers

[azure topaz]

ah sick

[glacial oyster]

a bit of it was stuck inside

[azure topaz]

nice bro youre cookin now

clean the computer final assignment

[glacial oyster]

yeah but one more thing

why is this guy always hot

[azure topaz]

its a 9800x3d

look at what its doing rn its at 5ghz and 50w

thats a normal temp

unless its at like 20w and 90c you shouldnt be concerned about cooling

[glacial oyster]

nothing much just this and this and that

[azure topaz]

yyeah fr 💀 50w at idle is wild but youre fine

[glacial oyster]

aight thanks man

[azure topaz]

yep

[left dove]

Do people season their air fryers?

[hexed tapir]

Not cleaning them count?

[left dove]

That's essentially what I mean lmao

[hexed tapir]

I've upgraded to a fancy microwave that airfry and bake so now it's always clean and non seasoned

So my mom that can't have gluten is very happy

[glacial oyster]

@azure topaz hey i think it wasnt that

that did make some noise yea but now i can notice my psu fan is going at like 3 spins per while

i think its the one thats cooked

uh oh

[ebon marlin]

minecraft has gone woke

💔

[gleaming rose]

lmao

[azure topaz]

oh so thats the problem then

does your PSU have an eco mode switch?

[left dove]

minecraft went queer 🏳️‍🌈

[glacial oyster]

no

[azure topaz]

okay then youll need to replace for it to stop

for now id make sure your psu can stay cool if youre going to play any video games

[gloomy sleet]

hey its me

[glacial oyster]

why do u give a fuck ? play the game

[azure topaz]

itll shut off automatically if it gets too hot but rather not push it yk

[left dove]

flooper have you found an oc limit to your card in afterburner?

[glacial oyster]

is there something that can notify me when it does? and whats the max temp

[left dove]

I'm giving it like +300 on the core and its not caring

[ebon marlin]

My comfort game has been ruined 💔 💔 😭

I have to go back and play Celeste now

[glacial oyster]

dawg its not that deep its a just a button, play the goddamn game

[ebon marlin]

No

[azure topaz]

450 core maximum memory (+3000)

[glacial oyster]

ok now ur just hating for the sake of hating

[left dove]

jfc thats wild

[gloomy sleet]

me when i have the choice to not press one button

[azure topaz]

3.2ghz at about 1080mv is wh ere most will top out

[ebon marlin]

And then Life is Strange and Signalis

[azure topaz]

on the core

most will do at least +2000 mem if not +3000 but to get +3000 you need beta version

[gloomy sleet]

guys rate my 4060 "oc"

[glacial oyster]

..

[azure topaz]

it will notify you by turning off

[glacial oyster]

oh

[azure topaz]

the max temp is whatever it feels like

i hope that helps

[glacial oyster]

i guess

[gloomy sleet]

less then 75w of power usage and still 60fps in a full AC ai lobby

[left dove]

Dude this is wild

[azure topaz]

beat my 3dm

[left dove]

this is at 100% usage

what is this card even

[exotic valley]

My graphics card is drawing 340 watts constantly and is it considered a lot?

[azure topaz]

yes

[gloomy sleet]

what gpu

[azure topaz]

its a lot for anything imo it just depends on if its efficient in the process

[exotic valley]

4070ti super

[gloomy sleet]

yes

that thing can do like 340?

[glacial oyster]

i just dont want it to cook my other components when it shuts off

[azure topaz]

steel nomad dx12

[azure topaz]

it shouldnt, just buy a new one and dont play any games until it arrives

using ur pc like normal on discord and youtube will b e fine, just dont do anything intensive

[glacial oyster]

aight

[distant frigate]

https://youtu.be/6mFcwOaPRNg?si=QpQe2Sr3VR2akSbZ

Whyyy lmaoooo

[gloomy sleet]

is bro buying all of apples stock

hes buying every iphone 17 they have

[azure topaz]

all 14 of them

[gloomy sleet]

the fact that $14k only gets you 14 phones is kinda depressing

[thorny saddle]

I mean yes but

[gloomy sleet]

yeah ngl i dont think thats normal but if you gpu is still working then have at it

[latent gull]

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/liquid-cooling/hyte-warns-thicc-q80-trio-customers-to-uninstall-aio-cooler-immediately-company-says-it-has-identified-coolant-leakage-issue-caused-by-fragile-internal-component

[left dove]

hrr

[exotic valley]

It is like constantly running at that power when I play games

[thorny saddle]

now do it with big core 🙂

[azure topaz]

download latest beta for +3000 on gpu

[zinc matrix]

all internships suck

[left dove]

with what

[thorny saddle]

big core

[zinc matrix]

thats unfortunate time to buy a new monitor lol

[gloomy sleet]

what type of airflow does one needs to have for a 340w 4070ti to only be like 70c

[azure topaz]

https://www.guru3d.com/download/msi-afterburner-beta-download/

[latent gull]

Mine didn’t. I got paid 15$ an hour for an entry helpdesk position and loved it

[azure topaz]

theyre huge cards bro

[gloomy sleet]

it seems to be fine i guess

[thorny saddle]

@left dove

[left dove]

i dont want a 5090

[thorny saddle]

yah but lil dog easy to get to 3.4 GHz

[left dove]

i just spent 750 on this card 😭

[gloomy sleet]

apparently 285w is the highest recommended power draw for that

[azure topaz]

thats the nvidia fe tdp

[thorny saddle]

get that big dog to 3.2 - 3.3 is 💪

[exotic valley]

Nothing fancy and I’m planning to add an additional 120mm fan just to help the airflow

[gloomy sleet]

wait what

one single 120mm?

[azure topaz]

dont put a fan on th back of your card if youre saying that

[zinc matrix]

you're one of the lucky ones

[gloomy sleet]

show pic of inside case

[gloomy sleet]

ohh

[azure topaz]

he has a normal card

[gloomy sleet]

what is that btw

[azure topaz]

strix

[gloomy sleet]

ok sure

[azure topaz]

normal card and hes planning to put a 120mm near it for cooling i think

[gloomy sleet]

but my 4060 still gets to like 85c on 110w~ of power

[azure topaz]

you have a 4060

he has a 4070ti super

[gloomy sleet]

thats with one exhaust fan

[thorny saddle]

I get like 50C on 600W

[azure topaz]

cards that share the same coolers as 4080s and 4090s

[gloomy sleet]

which draws 3x the power apparently

[azure topaz]

the 4060 does not share a cooler with a 4080 or 4090

[gloomy sleet]

really? i thought the 4070 range had their own cooles

[vestal dirge]

whats a relatively cheap pc case ($50-60) that comes with PWM fans

[azure topaz]

ti super

[gloomy sleet]

he has a ti

dang i blind

[azure topaz]

lol

4070s are smaller but when you get to ti/super they get big

[steel umbra]

pro 4070ti super xt ai max ultra

[azure topaz]

still dual fans of them tho just less

[gloomy sleet]

run us through that name rq

[azure topaz]

llook at this one, 305mm triple fan 4070 lol

gaming x trio is a whopping 340mm and its still not a super or ti

starting w/40 series we started making the mid and high end cards really big for no reason

[latent gull]

The 40 series is funny levels of thiccc

[azure topaz]

its stupid lol

like its cool but dumb

[vestal dirge]

cus why not

[azure topaz]

i shouldnt be paying for a 4090 cooler on a 4070

[latent gull]

But it’s funny

[azure topaz]

its not a free upgrade bro theyre making me pay for it

[steel umbra]

you mean how many thicc cash piles you had to pay for ‘em price increase

[ebon marlin]

my friend is thinking about buying one of those 7945HX embedded in an ITX mobo for his server lol

[azure topaz]

not a bad idea but id suggest something with more lanes if server based

[latent gull]

No I mean they thiccc thicc

[azure topaz]

but it would be great for plex or whatever

[ebon marlin]

would be a big upgrade over his X99 + 5960X server

[azure topaz]

just slap sata in it and a gpu

[steel umbra]

thicc = thicc cash piles paid

[azure topaz]

but is that server particularly slow? i feel like that wuold do anything he wants

[thorny saddle]

4070 Ti Super was a lil cutie

[azure topaz]

like yes its slow but is it slow for what it does

[latent gull]

No your thinking of phat stacks

[kindred halo]

Half the listings here for singular items on FBMP are just AI </3

[latent gull]

I mean this is insane

[azure topaz]

yeah. is that a 3080?

[kindred halo]

And on tech sites, if not copy pasted from the manufacturer they're also AI

[azure topaz]

we had the same 3080 i think lol

do not open it you will be disappointed

[thorny saddle]

4070 Ti Super vs. 4090 Aero

[ebon marlin]

he uses it to run his own browser and websites + minecraft and other game servers and currently the current server pc sucks for minecraft lol

[latent gull]

I think it’s a 3090 to a 4090, it’s just a google image

[azure topaz]

and sad and upset at gigabyte

[kindred halo]

Gigabyte makes nice looking backplates

[rain granite]

@azure topaz

[azure topaz]

oh whatever same thing i had the same one it sucks

[rain granite]

i had acquired it

[azure topaz]

it cools fine but the pcb is geninely like abysmal

[steel umbra]

aluminum = $
coppa troopa copper = $$
better fans = $+
ai in the name = $$$++

[latent gull]

Oh yeah they look nice, but man that 4090 is twice the fucking height

[azure topaz]

outrageous

i have an "sff" 5070ti and its 305mm

[kindred halo]

Hopefully that size translates into cooling

[azure topaz]

every 4080 and 4090 that big cools fine

every gpu that big cools fine

[kindred halo]

What's short about that

[azure topaz]

NOTHING!

its as long as my old gpu nearly 😭

[kindred halo]

It's longer than a stands 2080 Ti or such

[azure topaz]

thanks asus

[kindred halo]

DUDE

It's 1mm longer than a GameRock 3090 😭 😭

[azure topaz]

😭

[kindred halo]

That card is 304mm

😭

[azure topaz]

it looks good tho ill give itthat

[plush wren]

ayysus

[azure topaz]

and comes with ptm

[latent gull]

Tbf I have a msi 3070 and it’s 324 mm

[azure topaz]

gaming x trio?

[latent gull]

Maybe

Either that or z trio

[kindred halo]

The gamerock looks better :>

Wait.

Dude.

It's barely 14mm shorter than the RoG Strix 3090

[azure topaz]

well one is. the cheapest model a brand makes and the other one is palit

[kindred halo]

What does saying just palit supposed to achieve

Are palit like, an aesthetics focused brand?

[limber nacelle]

I hate that marketing

2.5 slot 300mm is not sff

[azure topaz]

palit is palit

[azure topaz]

deadass

[kindred halo]

Is that RUST on the GPU HEATSINK????

[azure topaz]

or just a bad photo

aluminum doesnt rust really

[kindred halo]

Also it's bent btw

[azure topaz]

no steel in it

[gloomy sleet]

looks like poor lighting

[kindred halo]

A small bend

On one of the fins

[azure topaz]

fins bending is okie it changes effectively noting

[gloomy sleet]

everything looks brownish in that picture

[kindred halo]

It's a gaming store PC, they barely get maintained

[gloomy sleet]

fins are fins wether theyre bent or not

[kindred halo]

So rust was my first idea lol

[kindred halo]

Yeah just wanted to point it out

[limber nacelle]

its possible for the cooler to develop rust, though likely not on the fins

[kindred halo]

These look fairly metallic still

[ivory river]

im genuinely confused on how it went back to normal, aside from the jagged lines that are still there. im using it perfectly fine while using discord. and apparently, my monitors absolutely HATE IT whenever i change the hertz to a lower standard.

[limber nacelle]

I bought a 3090 from a guy who lived seaside, and it had rust on where the fans mounted to the heatsink

[azure topaz]

i dont think it would rust on the alu

[ivory river]

fun time

[limber nacelle]

because i think that part was probably steel or smth

[zinc matrix]

can you show me the jagged lines?

[azure topaz]

its probably just smoker dust that looks orange

[limber nacelle]

yeah not on alu

[ivory river]

yeah give me a sec

[azure topaz]

yeah it js corrodes

diffwent

[limber nacelle]

yeah in my case it was just on the fan bracket

since that was prolly steel or smth

[azure topaz]

yea or like io shield or sumn

[zinc matrix]

all cool

[azure topaz]

mhm yea

[kindred halo]

Tar probably

[zinc matrix]

still shit tho lol

[azure topaz]

yea

[kindred halo]

There's tons of hookahs and cigarettes in those sorts of places

So definitely could be tar buildup

[ivory river]

honestly but my discord mostly has black for its ui so the lines are barely visible

[zinc matrix]

do you game?

[ivory river]

except for the colored icons and yeah i do

[zinc matrix]

gonna be annoying for games

[cosmic stratus]

275 bucks well spent

[azure topaz]

hey look a dell precision something or other

[ivory river]

i play my games on my main monitor, that's my secondary, shoulda said so from the beginning.

[zinc matrix]

is that a glue stick

[kindred halo]

Anyway @azure topaz
May I bother you a little more with a question

[cosmic stratus]

Yes

[azure topaz]

what poor gpu did you pair with it

[azure topaz]

yes

[zinc matrix]

funny

[cosmic stratus]

Rx 6800 16gb

[azure topaz]

8gb???

[azure topaz]

what cpu?

[kindred halo]

Must've been made by NVidia

[cosmic stratus]

1680v3 is the endgame for this pc

[azure topaz]

yeesh

[cosmic stratus]

Bottleneck finnal boss

[azure topaz]

haswell cpu from 2014 paired with 6800

[ivory river]

anyway im hopping off now, thank you for the assistance :)

[cosmic stratus]

Still waiting for am5 platform prices to drop

[zinc matrix]

no problem, I'd still recommend to look for your purchase on the monitor and try to get warranty so you can enjoy a normal monitor 🙂

[cosmic stratus]

Is ddr5 affordable yet

[kindred halo]

Okay nevermind there's no question

[limber nacelle]

has been for 2 years

[azure topaz]

meow

[cosmic stratus]

Mm ok

A gpuless am5 build shouldnt beed more than 500

[kindred halo]

I was going to ask you between an MSI PRO MP251 E2 (120Hz, IPS, 24.5in 28.3 effective, HDR10) for 110 vs some 180Hz but there's a literal Odyssey G3 180Hz for 99 before tax

That's like barely 111 dollars for a G3

[azure topaz]

those are VA iirc, not really great

wgat G3?

[exotic valley]

anyone’s primary monitor larger than mine?

[limber nacelle]

depends on what you buy

[azure topaz]

lol theyre all va my bad

[zinc matrix]

va = ghosting enjoyer

[limber nacelle]

better not be an old tv

[exotic valley]

I’m daily driving a 4k miniled 55inch tv as my primary monitor

[limber nacelle]

oh fair game

thats much too large for a desktop monitor imo

but u do u

[kindred halo]

Searching the jumble of letters and numbers that came after it.. One second

LS24DG302EMXUE this though specifically

[azure topaz]

lol

[kindred halo]

It's VA :<

[azure topaz]

yeah, id avoid va

[zinc matrix]

all vas got ghosting

[azure topaz]

yes

[zinc matrix]

it hurts my eyes

rn I got ips, soon I will enjoy the power of oled

[kindred halo]

Okay there's an MSI Fast IPS for 1 US more

MSI MAG 255F E20 24.5" FHD 200Hz

That one is 111 on the dot

100 + 11% tax

[exotic valley]

I enjoyed watching movies on it and its sub 5ms response time def provided excellent game experience for me. I mainly use it for productivity and it replaced my old tri-monitor setup, and it is actually the same size as quad/4 27inch monitors. 4k 144hz is really enjoyable for gaming and 55inch is excellent for fps games, I can see enemies more clearly now playing PUBG or overwatch 2.

all of that with freesync premium pro for less than $350 here

[kindred halo]

@azure topaz Omg Omg Omg Omg fhfjjdjdjjdk
It's HDR ready

[exotic valley]

with 10 years warranty

[kindred halo]

Sure that's probably HDR10 but STILL

[azure topaz]

yeah

[kindred halo]

I get full colour range :DDDDD

[exotic valley]

miniled as well

[exotic valley]

thats rly nice.

i think mine only covers roughly 95% of P3 color?

a tradeoff i guess for its cheap price.

[kindred halo]

It's 79% DCI-P3 here

I may have not been correct by saying full colour range

[exotic valley]

ohh, sry i didnt know you meant srgb

[kindred halo]

Adobe RGB 83%, sRGB 100%

Yeah my fault

[exotic valley]

i thought nowadays all monitors cover at least 100% srgb

[kindred halo]

I don't really know what those translate to in terms of actual colours but I am happy that it's atleast got usable colours :>

[exotic valley]

yeh 100% coverage in srgb is good enough

[kindred halo]

This is my current monitor

A 2015 ThinkVision

E2054A, 1440x900p

[kindred halo]

@exotic valley What does NTSC equate to?

[reef gorge]

how do I decide which company is the best? price is not an issue for me

[random junco]

reviews

[exotic valley]

Prob just one of those wide gamut color space similar to p3

[kindred halo]

Huh, interesting

So somewhat close to 72% P3

Didn't expect that from such a monitor

[midnight wind]

According to LG

Oops this doesn't have p3 on it

https://image.benq.com/is/image/benqco/color-gamut-5?$ResponsivePreset$&wid=1468

[kindred halo]

Similar to Adobe in some places, then to DCI in others

Eitherway, 79% DCI-P3 is still decent :>

And 83% Adobe RGB is okay, I assume?

[midnight wind]

I think my monitor only rates 98% sRGB. No clue what the p3 coverage is and I don't have a colorimeter

[midnight wind]

That sounds pretty good

[kindred halo]

The one I saw (MSI MAG 255F E20) is 79% P3, 83% Adobe RGB, 100% sRGB

[kindred halo]

Not bad at all

[azure topaz]

saw another CTS-V

had to put out a wet floor sign

[midnight wind]

i feel like 100% srgb is basically universal nowadays

[kindred halo]

Oh just noticed
It's DP 1.2a.......

Has HDMI 2.0 but another model (MP251 E2) has 1.4a </3

[kindred halo]

DP 1.2a also doesn't carry HDR....

I'll have to use HDMI 2.0 </3333

[latent gull]

Probably the only American made traditional car id buy, and then only if I had fuck you levels of money to spend

[strange atlas]

Would it be better to put headphones on soundboard or connect to pc directly

i have this badboy

[midnight wind]

"soundboard" isn't that like a full blown audio interface

it's probably way better than your motherboard built in audio

[strange atlas]

yes it is audio interface wasnt sure what its called in english

[stray portal]

I have a 1440p ultrawide but it's a VA... It hasn't been a problem so far but recently on black contrasting things the ghosting has gotten so bad so should I send it in to warranty? Thing i got it for a cheaper price and similarly priced items arent as good in resolution or size so idk what to do...

[strange atlas]

but will it be more latency

I have Asrock b450 Steel Legends by the way

[midnight wind]

i would think if anything it should be less latency because it's actually built for that purpose

but it probably makes no difference

[strange atlas]

okay thank you

[exotic valley]

do you guys think whether in the future there will be more games optimized for AMD radeon or less?

since AMD is losing GPU market share to NVIDIA lately

[zinc matrix]

guys all my games run on steady frametimes except for 1 game it keeps spiking is it then the games fault or can I probably fix

[stray portal]

I really like the 1440p and ultrawide aspect of it but for similar price I can get better panel... Just smaller size and I think mostly less resolution

[strange atlas]

By the way could this be headphone or me problem i cant put the audio above 8 and in game i half all of the audios even then it feels soo much i feel sick after listening something for like 10 minutes

like i actually feel sick after it

[midnight wind]

just make it whatever volume is comfortable

[stray portal]

I recommend keeping windows volume at Max and just lowering app volume

[strange atlas]

But what i was trying to say is could my headphones be faulty i've been using it like this since 2014-2015

[stray portal]

That way the audio quality doesn't get affected

[midnight wind]

why

[strange atlas]

you cant get low enoough in some apps and games

[midnight wind]

uh that isn't really accurate

[strange atlas]

Like i play cs at 0.01 volume

[ruby fox]

should i get an rtx 5060 for $470 or get an rx 9060 xt 8gb for $409

[stray portal]

It is tho.. For example 10% windows but 100% app is gonna have worse quality than just lowering app volume

Cuz it's 100% of quieter lesser sounding audio meanwhile if u lower app volume it's less percentage but of a full sounding audio

[midnight wind]

none of that makes any sense

[stray portal]

Imo get 9060

[midnight wind]

if you do 0.10 * 1.00 it's the same end result as 1.00 * 0.10

[stray portal]

ur wrong and stupid

that's not how it works

[ruby fox]

i have a ryzen 5 5600 will it bottleneck

[stray portal]

nah it's gonna be fine

[midnight wind]

and second of all, lowering volume doesn't affect the quality at all

[ruby fox]

bet

[midnight wind]

very strong rebuttal there

[strange atlas]

thats not nice man

no need to do that

[midnight wind]

very convincing

[stray portal]

u dunno how audio works

[midnight wind]

i don't think you do either

[jaunty apex]

God damnit I really gotta remember to see the "not" in sentences. I'm so bad at that

[stray portal]

you have a soup right and windows volume is the soup it doesn't matter if app is 100% if the soup is 10% it's just water so it's 100% of water...

Meanwhile if u have 100% windows but lesser app volume you have less volume but more of the soup

more flavors

[ruby fox]

for a 5600 cna i js use stock cooler or should i get a air cooler

[midnight wind]

look, you change volume by just multiplying all the samples by a factor
multiplication is commutative operation
if you multiply the application by 0.10, then multiply the entire output by 1.00, that gives you the same result as if you multiply the application by 1.00, then multiply the entire output by 0.10

[stray portal]

Depends

[ruby fox]

on wat

[stray portal]

You keep your same flawed arguement I told you is already wrong I'm not gonna argue with you because you are stubborn.

[midnight wind]

take a look at yourself man

or if you want to find out then ask someone in #audio-tech

[stray portal]

if you are gonna be getting the cpu hot often then I think you should get an air cooler

But if you are normal user then I think the stock one will do

[midnight wind]

i am trying so hard to figure out what this is supposed to mean

[stray portal]

maybe you have a disability

[ruby fox]

alr

[midnight wind]

going back to the original
this advice actually will likely make the audio quality significantly worse, due to a much higher quantization noise floor

you're squishing down all the samples of the audio into a small amount of digital values, just to feed the dac&amp a lower signal level. instead of just sending it a signal at large volume, with lots of useful bits, and having the amp attenuate itself

[stray portal]

I already told u why ur wrong why do u keep blabbering with ur paragraphs

the fact u can't talk like a normal person shows what kind of person you are

[left dove]

I genuinely don't understand this either

like could you try rewording it

[trail patio]

If I want to just have a fully reset installation and wipe the ssd, do I just delete all partitions

[stray portal]

Quote from the onlines

"Keeping the master Windows volume at its maximum ensures that the full digital audio signal from the operating system reaches the individual applications. Reducing the master volume digitally can lead to the loss of less significant data bits, potentially causing a slight degradation in sound quality. "

[left dove]

Also saying this while shortening words to single letters is kinda hypocritical..

OH we're talking volumes

[stray portal]

Mr fancy over here acting like I'm the only person who shortens you to u

[midnight wind]

making me of all people look like i'm talking properly is impressive

[stray portal]

I'm just LAZY!!!!

[left dove]

I thought we were talking like data storage volumes

[trail patio]

Help pls 😭

[midnight wind]

whered you quote this from

[left dove]

yee, delete all the partitions on disk 0

[stray portal]

Yea delete all partitions and then format the drive

[trail patio]

So deleting the system and recovery stuff is fine right..

[left dove]

yee

[trail patio]

Alr ty

[left dove]

it gets rebuilt with a fresh install

[midnight wind]

@stray portal if you would like a second opinion: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/x7exm2/for_sound_quality_is_it_better_to_set_the_volume/

[left dove]

god warship you suck

[stray portal]

I saw that notification

[trail patio]

This is all fine right? Sorry first time reinstalling windows (checking if I can just click next now)

[left dove]

delete em all

[stray portal]

I don't like people that just send paragraphs upon paragraphs instead of just talking normally like u don't need to send that much text and tbf if you were right you shouldn't have to send that much text anyways to me that's like being an a-hole

[trail patio]

I deleted then I clicked create partition and those came back

[midnight wind]

wait hold on you don't want todelete disk 1 ESD-USB

that might be your installer?

[stray portal]

Yes now install on the largest one the smaller ones are made by windows for uefi and other things

[trail patio]

Yep I won’t delete that one

You guys mean like this? It says unallocated space though

[midnight wind]

when did talking in a barely readable grammar become "talking normally"

[left dove]

which you want to delete before a new install to prevent duplicate entries.

[left dove]

dude this guy's something special

[left dove]

perf, now install to the unallocated space

[stray portal]

yes but once they get remade by windows it's fine

[left dove]

The term "duplicate entries" was the key phrase in my statement.

[trail patio]

Alright thanks a lot all of you

[stray portal]

I already told you that you might have a disability due to not understanding basic stuff but you do you.. Just don't bombard me with paragraphs to argue your wrong statements

[left dove]

It's not a disability if you don't understand shorthand speak that contains barely legible information dude

The fact that you think it is a disability goes to show your ignorance

[midnight wind]

paragraphs are the only way to get explanatory information across, i don't know what you would expect someone to do

[stray portal]

what exactly did I say that is barely readable

the letter "u" 😱😱

[left dove]

I'm sorry we all don't still type with T9

[stray portal]

Whatever it's not like it's a very widely used shortening

[midnight wind]

they probably don't know what that is

[stray portal]

my point is you were wrong and when I proved to you how you were wrong you just slop your paragraphs to justify yourself

[left dove]

Poor attempt at belittlement but keep trying

just take the l

[stray portal]

who are u even talking to

[left dove]

You, you silly goose

[stray portal]

what l i was right and he just started insulting how I speak instead

[left dove]

nah I think bb's right tbh

[midnight wind]

you didn't really do anything to prove you were right other than some soup and water analogy that it doesn't seem like anyone else was able to comprehend anyways

[stray portal]

Tooting your own horn is crazy

[left dove]

How is it my own horn if it's bb's correct point

[midnight wind]

and then the rest of it has just been you asserting you're right

[stray portal]

"haha I'm stupid and can't understand basic correlation because all I know is to slop math that isn't connected so you are big L"

[midnight wind]

did you even read what I said to support my opinion there

[left dove]

[midnight wind]

or other people on the reddit post i sent agreeing with me

[stray portal]

people without a disability could probably get my analogy

[left dove]

You can easily leave disabilities out of this

[midnight wind]

people with a disability could still understand what i said

[stray portal]

I'm done arguing with u tho as I've said so please stop sending ur nonsense

[left dove]

Then leave

[stray portal]

ur wrong anyways

[formal prism]

The error introduced by Windows volume being not 1.0 is truly inconsequential to human ears

[stray portal]

so u come here to lie about stuff and when I prove u right u tell me to leave

[midnight wind]

this what i was referring to, explanation that i said

[stray portal]

if ur so pissed off just leave urself

[left dove]

What have I lied about lmao

You're grasping at straws and it's very entertaining

[stray portal]

Ok

[midnight wind]

yeah, and often times the windows master volume sets the actual hardware gain, such as with most dongles, so in that case it actually has no impact anyways

[strange atlas]

Which one is better ?
JBL Quantum 360
Razer BlackShark V2 Pro
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5X
Logitech G435 Lightspeed
Corsair Void RGB Elite Wireless

[stray portal]

Go for jbl they have good stuff

Razer and steelseries are good too

[strange atlas]

No like i'm asking about the spesific models

like jbl has some bad stuff too

[thorny saddle]

scrubby dubby

[stray portal]

I would say go for the razer ones

[left dove]

ew, no

[stray portal]

Why not

[left dove]

razer is awful

[stray portal]

Why so

[left dove]

the software sucks and the build quality is not what you pay for

[stray portal]

I have a razer seiren mini it's great especially for what I paid

also the software isn't that bad

[left dove]

It's abysmal

[strange atlas]

may i ask for the reason?

like bigger speakers better quality or something

[left dove]

(neither of those)

[strange atlas]

can you give me a recommendation by any chance

[left dove]

The arctis 5/7 are good choices. I personally have the logitech pro x & I love it (plus the mic sounds great too)

[strange atlas]

314 dollars for a damn headphones is too much no?

[left dove]

what where tf are you looking

what model

[strange atlas]

wireless pro x

[left dove]

Oh I have the wired

[strange atlas]

oh i was hoping for wireless one

[grizzled nova]

This is so true
With 1 exception
Their headsets aren’t terrible compared to other gaming brands

[left dove]

yes but to use their headsets means you need their software

and fuck that

[grizzled nova]

No

[left dove]

the usb-connected ones, yes

[grizzled nova]

Oh yea maybe
I used a 3mm splitter

USB headsets are terrible

[strange atlas]

i wonder if there will be difference by going from a 2014-2015 cheapest headphones to a good new one

[left dove]

my pro x has a usb dongle but it's 3.5mm for everything else

[strange atlas]

i hope it doesnt dissappoint me

i'm hoping something really good

[grizzled nova]

I had the kraken x for 6 yrs

Worked amazingly

[stray portal]

Razer audio devices are usually very good and especially the black shark series I've heard from friends is good and I've seen it being used by youtubers too

[distant frigate]

I mean 10 years is a long time in tech world

I bet some things have improved since then

[strange atlas]

using it since 10-11 years it was always a shitty headphones and it will always be

[left dove]

diaphragm designs have changed

[stray portal]

And yes the speakers are better too iirc

[strange atlas]

but really comfortable though

really really

[left dove]

really cubed

[hexed tapir]

Razer stinky

[left dove]

see

[strange atlas]

okay i will watch a full review of it

i hope it doesnt dissappoint i'm a really big microphone guy

[grizzled nova]

I won’t ever buy anything from razer ever again but the headset was decent

[strange atlas]

they have the worse customer support

[hexed tapir]

https://youtu.be/8w8m1UuLsEQ?feature=shared

[strange atlas]

ahahahaha

just how would you expect

[hexed tapir]

Razer can magically spawn in batteries they said they don't have if you get enough attention on YouTube

[stray portal]

I own a razer seiren mini it's great

Bought it cuz there was nothing for similar price that wasn't chinese slop so I ended up with razer

[hexed tapir]

Razer is Chinese slop

[bitter crater]

what the f are you going to run that needs 1200w???

[limpid dune]

turbolocked dual-socket 14900KS

[strange atlas]

Thank you all for all the help for headphones thanks to you all i decided to tape back my headphones together

[limpid dune]

for real; 14900KS spikes over 350W, 4090/5090 peaks at 600W, plus 80W of board power and drives and other stuff, plus 20% to account for margins of efficiency and safety. Gets even higher if you're doing multi-GPU, using the USB-C to charge, or using an HEDT chip

[unique shore]

i wont need the full 1200 i just want some head room ill be running a 9 9950x3d w/ 5090 and pc part picker estemates a total usage of 970w and figured a 1000w psu might not cut it

[hollow creek]

lmao

[limpid dune]

^9950X3D can theoretically spike to 250W but practically never goes over 200W

but yeah, it's a medium-power CPU

[mint umbra]

I hope we stop getting so many UE5 games

bl4 has crashed like 10 times for me lol

[unique shore]

id rather spend a little extra on a beefier psu now then underpower and have to buy a new cpu or god forbid gpu later on down the line

[bitter crater]

dont blame UE5 for terrible game devs

[mint umbra]

mate we never had this issue with ue4 games

[bleak ledge]

It's over

[mint umbra]

why do you need a vpn for youtube

[bleak ledge]

I live in the UK lol

[steel umbra]

i’ve used ue engine and i can say it’s a totally fine engine, if you want it to be optimized don’t be lazy ass and turn off the visuals which can be easily found within the UIs

[unique shore]

this is what im looking at for my rebuild the case fans are standins for the aisahorse cosmiq counterparts https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HqcRdb

[bitter crater]

ive been getting that too, stupid geolocked video's

[steel umbra]

blaming the engine for developers not optimizing themselves the games is beyond me

[mint umbra]

my friend that uses it and he said that ue5 isnt well documented and only really experience ppl know how to use it well and that epic makes money from sending ppl to show devs how to use it

[steel umbra]

uh nuh tutorials

[mint umbra]

I trust my friend who is in game dev

there is way more sources of ue5 games not running well vs not

clearly theres an issue if games keep having a problem

like its not like with ue4 they were working any harder

[steel umbra]

blueprints aren’t perfect but do the job other than like physics and generation, multiplayer

[limpid dune]

I think the issue with UE5 games is that devs are too tempted to dial settings to the max... DRG is an example of not-max-graphics UE5 and it runs great

[trail patio]

I can use my browser so I know my WiFi is working but when I try to install the latest windows updates it says there is no internet connection (just reinstalled windows and my drivers btw)

What is the issue

[limpid dune]

are you dualbooting?

[trail patio]

No clue

[steel umbra]

you should optimize your code specific to your game, engines like unreal, unity have a bunch of safeguards, holders and collectors to prevents hmmmm 🧨 💥 you can always throw them away so they don’t take resources or make the code just slower

[trail patio]

Is that in bios if I wanna check

[tiny rover]

is rtx2060 6g worth buying

[boreal vine]

no, outdated now adays

[tiny rover]

my lp 1650 is slow as hell

[limpid dune]

dualbooting means running linux alongside windows, if you don't know that means no

[trail patio]

Then no

[boreal vine]

buy a 6600xt they go for quite cheap and don't require alot of power @tiny rover

[trail patio]

Any other reason?

[boreal vine]

@steel umbra was it you that asked for pics when my spyder arrived?

I swear it was another keeb nerd that asked here

[steel umbra]

nop show pic

[limpid dune]

try running ping www.google.com to see if it returns an error

[tiny rover]

thx, they really are cheap

[tiny rover]

i dont know anything about amd cards

[steel umbra]

i frogor if i have seen this

[left dove]

which flag is that

[limpid dune]

can confirm, my RX6600 in my server uses like 1W at idle and 120W when fully OCed

[left dove]

oh its the pan flag based

[limpid dune]

not an XT, but it's the same die

[boreal vine]

beats me

[boreal vine]

XT goes over just by abit, but not alot

[tiny rover]

it has a turbine variant, hell yeah

[trail patio]

On my browser?

[boreal vine]

damn my keyboard is attracted to the kitchen?

[left dove]

love is love

[steel umbra]

i liek blueprints but they be so limited in terms of what i want to do with them

[boreal vine]

one love

[steel umbra]

procedurally generated + multiplayer

[boreal vine]

turbine just means blower cards (do not get those)

[steel umbra]

bp is really slow for each

[tiny rover]

ik, they are loud as hell

[boreal vine]

I've finally peaked keyboard

I don't think I'll be picking up any other keyboard besides this one for a while

64GB Ram
4x 900 GiB SAS Drives (3.6TIB)

[kindred halo]

Congrats :3

[steel umbra]

honestly ztt is still much better than investing servers which i took a peek at, i made a comment about their guides most likely aren’t effective (because of statistics) and i got banned

[boreal vine]

hell yeahhh

[limpid dune]

that's weird, try windows update troubleshooter and maybe wait to see if it's just a weird network thing

[kindred halo]

There's a difference

In investing servers they're probably somehow profiting off of their guides being ineffective

I don't know how, but there's always a way to profit off of people being fucked over

[steel umbra]

the servers are plagued with bots

[kindred halo]

In ZTT you get muted / banned for errr... We'll find the charge later

[steel umbra]

i also made a comment in other server that the owners/higher ups care less about community safety than about selling their guides

and got banned for that

[trail patio]

So I should just wait till tomorrow?

[serene pumice]

Zebras Tech Tips?

🦓

[kindred halo]

Well that's justified

How dare you question their ways

[thorny saddle]

I am banned from ZTT for having an income

[kindred halo]

Wdym

[steel umbra]

they didn’t implement anything to limit those bots whatsoever, goldmine for scams

[thorny saddle]

I shared my PC builds and a moderator banned me

[kindred halo]

LOL????

[kindred halo]

As expected

They probably run the bots

[kindred halo]

One of my mates got banned for reacting whilst muted

[thorny saddle]

Yeah - I have a bunch of builds, so I posted one, and then later another, and they accused me of spamming and said I just posted the photo when in fact I had never posted the photo, it was a different build of mine, and then they said something like "we dont need to see every build of yours" and I said someone had asked about cable management, and then they said well we've seen enough so I posted the "moving the goalpost" GIF and then he banned me

[kindred halo]

You will cooperate with moderation. You will not show your criticism of their ways.
YOU WILL NOT LAUGH
YOU WILL NOT CRY

[empty quartz]

:3 twas me

This is all just made even worse considering the fact that his site is just filled with bad deals and straight up rip-offs

[kindred halo]

Haiiiiii :3333

[thorny saddle]

I will not give a shit at all lol

[steel umbra]

i once got banned for sending a google doc/spreadsheet with them having ofc no evidence of any sort of scam
i wasn’t breaking any rules, the mod just lost a nerve and their last sentence was okay enough - along those lines

[kindred halo]

They're not worth caring about

[left dove]

ztt mass ban speedrun

[steel umbra]

like you don’t get malware by just opening a google spreadsheet (cloud based)

[thorny saddle]

not at all

[kindred halo]

Payed by ban, ban all who fit the criteria

[steel umbra]

you’d have to open another link within the spreadsheet or download a file

[kindred halo]

You're simply a victim of their bullshit 💔

[steel umbra]

but all of the links within the sheet were clear :> ofc, i tried to explain that but the mod obviously didn’t want to bother or look bad enforcing their made up rules more

[left dove]

mods in those servers usually have power tripping issues

& are generally very stupid

[kindred halo]

They lack direction, integrity
Any sort of power they have is used to make up for all that of which they lack

Anyway gn peeps

totally rational to install cryptominers to create white noise

[midnight wind]

i just got back from a meeting and i still can't get over the windows audio soup

[exotic valley]

prob only able to make cents or negligible amount of money

[carmine yew]

I'd do it if cpu mining was even remotely useful

[exotic valley]

i dont expect such a tech illiterate company to have some actually up-to-spec servers that mine cryptocurrency at a meaningful rate

none other than piling up the electricity bills

[carmine yew]

And by remotely useful, I mean it'd have to get me more than a bottle of coke a month lol

[neon lantern]

Shhh

[rotund mirage]

is this theoretically possible

running your phone on AA's

[south arrow]

Ofc can run anything off any power source if it produces the bass amount needed

Will it be efficient or cost worthy that is another question.

[left dove]

Why would you ever want this

[south arrow]

Alie express has some negative/positive wired battery packs if wanting to do a science experiment

[rotund mirage]

Because you just keep a pile of rechargeable AAs and just pop in new batts when you need to did you not have a flip phone growing up?

[midnight wind]

a modern phone uses too much power probably

they make lithium battery phone cases so that's probably infinitely cheaper than AA batteries anyways

[south arrow]

Also avaliable uwu

[tired bear]

everything is possible

[inner veldt]

Each of my Eneloop Pros have a rating of 2500mAh, outputs at 1.2v. Would need 5 minimum but probably 6 in series to properly charge a phone at 5v.

But thats a good chunk of power

Lot of weight and thickness added but

[midnight wind]

i feel like the better solution is just a phone case where you have a regular shaped rectangular lithium battery that's removalbe

[jaunty apex]

Or a power bank with PD

[midnight wind]

its a power bank attached to your case for ease of use

[south arrow]

Ya know, not the worst concept

[midnight wind]

best of both worlds

[jaunty apex]

Depends, does it have a cable or is it wireless charging

I mean I guess most people it doesnt matter

[midnight wind]

arent there some phone cases where it connects into the cahrging port

or are they really all just wasting half your power

[jaunty apex]

Some I think. But cant really replace the cable on those

But power bank will get you to 50% in like 10 mins if you have a modern enough phone

maybe more like 20% but some phones charge crazy fast now

[neon lantern]

There was a redmi a couple years back that could do 100% in 11 minutes

240w charging

[midnight wind]

battery longevity out the window

can only imagine how hot it gets from that

[opaque bay]

update

[gleaming rose]

the reason there aren't any is because there isn't much point

most of the stuff people are missing is just available in powertoys or on linux now

good luck with the OS you're making

oh maybe i should check in on haikuos

[gleaming rose]

xiaomi actually did a shockingly good job

figured

Hi guys
First time pc builder here with a silly or a normal question-

I completed my build and the issue i am facing is that my pc case fans rgb- which are attached to the psu directly via SATA and the nzxt fan and ram’s rgb
They dont sync together.
I have to manually match the ram and nzxt rgb to my pc case

Can someone please provide a fix or an advocate for this?

[left dove]

what'd i miss

[gleaming rose]

yes so you see the sata power for the fans isn't connected to the motherboard

it is connected to the PSU

there is no way to control it

[jaunty apex]

Openshell, iirc classicshell has been depreciated for a long time

[gleaming rose]

*deprecated

[jaunty apex]

Jesus ive been fucking that up for years

I mean

[midnight wind]

it probably depreciates after being deprecated anyways

[jaunty apex]

They are at least similar

Depricate literally points to depreicate lol

[gleaming rose]

deprecate

[jaunty apex]

I fucked them both up that time

[idle spear]

My dream speakers cost so much omg

[jaunty stone]

Thank you
So if i connect the pins to the mb i run out of pins lol
Is there any work around?

[gleaming rose]

you can't connect a sata power cable to the rgb pins on your motherboard

what case fans do you have?

[jaunty stone]

No what i mean is
I have a mini console/chip on my case which have the pins and that is connected to the sata via psu

I have a

be quiet light base 600

[gleaming rose]

there should be an RGB header stemming from that board you attach to your motherboard

is it connected?

you may need an argb splitter board

[jaunty stone]

Umm i only saw the sata nothing else but ill have a look
Thank you so much

[quasi moat]

Need some rgb for walls and desk

Hello. Anyone owns a surface pro in here? I recently bought a brand new one and the surface stays mildly hot while not plugged in and theres a certain foul smell coming from all the vents, to me it honestly smells of burnt ngl, but while charging it seems its the same mild hottness of battery so clearly it isnt overheating. The charger block itself is not overheating at all, and i checked sensor temps and the temps from gpu, cpu,cram,ssd everything but battery temp (since i cannot see that), are normal. My model is a surface pro 11th generation 13 inch oled 32gb ram 1tb ssd. Any insights/help/guidance about this will be very appreciated. Ty.

[gleaming rose]

what kind of foul smell

[supple heath]

thats the thing, idk if its something of like burning but its pretty bad

[gleaming rose]

Sometimes electronics just smell weird.

[supple heath]

and i smell it all around the vents, i only got this surface for 3 days now tho very recent

[gleaming rose]

I would probably ask Microsoft. I doubt it's a big deal, but it's worth asking.

[formal sonnet]

Last time I used a Microsoft Surface Tablet... well, it was fun, however, they indeed get quite toasty under the hood because there's not a lot of space at all for cooling. Electronics that get toasty (or those that are new) tend to have more of a smell than those that don't get toasty or have been used for months.

[gleaming rose]

I mean you should smell my music room

nothing even heats up in there but you can just SMELL the electronics

[supple heath]

ngl it gets mildly hot

like not too hot, but hot enough

[gleaming rose]

yeah that's microsoft hardware engineering for ya

[supple heath]

LOL haha and whats weird is that my friend 16 gb spec 512 gb storage is not even getting hot at all

well it is but very less than mine, but he has had it for long time now

[formal sonnet]

The RAM / Storage isn't usually what makes it hot. What processor does each Surface have?

[supple heath]

same processor , snapdragon X elite (2024 surface pro version)

or no, i think he has snapdragon x plus if im not mistaken

ah i should reverify

[formal sonnet]

You absolutely should, as this WILL affect how hot or cool the devices run.

[gleaming rose]

I'm so excited for the thinkpad t1g gen 8 to drop

[tidal geyser]

Surfaces are not really meant for compute

The main focus is media and drawing

[supple heath]

ok

he has the 10 core, but i already verified temps as i told you

battery temps are impossible to get though, but i doubt thats the cause because even when unplugged it is mildly hot, i only use drawboard pdf for annotating and sometimes light excel work and media scrolling and onedrive

thats about it

it is true some temps on some clocks of the processor got to 60 degrees even tho normally they are between 35-55

[tidal geyser]

What apps are running

My 8th gen surface pro 6 is almost cold to the touch if i am just watching youtube with it

Guess the price of the keyboard

And this one can even fit 5 pin

[supple heath]

Real, my old surface pro 7 from 2018 is also cold, lmao

[tidal geyser]

Something wonky is going on

I would try a windows reinstall

[supple heath]

i can indeed wipe windows and reinstall

but it was a business device sold by a 3rd party seller on bestbuy

but device was new, because i checked battery health and indeed it was never used

but what was weird is that the warranty was until 2026 march even tho i activated 3 days ago when i got it in september

so clearly not a 1 year warranty since the registration of it

guess just unlucky? i did pay a very nice price for it as the co. prolly bought them in bulk, idk

device was mad blowing air through vents since the very start since first start i did though

now thats already a red flag i think

[tidal geyser]

Something ain't right

I would say cooling is fully broken but then it would at least be cold

When doing nothing

[supple heath]

when doing nothing it doesnt get hot, when i run 2-3 apps it gets mildly hot, without charging, when i charge, the same mildly hotness

thats why im asking myself if this is normal for a " never " used device

[tidal geyser]

I had one with the same issues but that one was a passive cooled

[supple heath]

meaning?

[tidal geyser]

No fan

Aka the body had to be used to cool everything

[supple heath]

yeah idk the 2024 versions have some very tiny vents on the sides but yeah those vents get used when needed i guess, but the smell of it is what deranges me

[tidal geyser]

Na surface always has tiny vents

[supple heath]

:(( now im still in the 30 day return seller period since i bought it last sunday and i also have warranty with microsoft, what should i do next?

do i wait and see how it gets after 1-2 weeks or i start RMA'ing n stuff?

[tidal geyser]

What apps did you use

[supple heath]

drawboard pdf, discord, brave, and thats about it. 40% usage of ram

with 16 gb i had 85% usage with the same apps

[tidal geyser]

What about the stuff that makes it hot like the CPU usage

[supple heath]

cpu usages are between 0% - 5% at best

many of them are 0% because i set target maximum power usage to 99% in control panel

but i checked with hwid info and umm meanwhile most clocks seemed ok on the various cores, 1-2 cores indicated a temp of 60 degree-ish

but most of them are running between 35-55

[solar moat]

that will cut perfomince by like 40% in some cases

[midnight wind]

$38

[solar moat]

since windose is doing math off base clock
