[azure topaz]

but in reality id pick ddr4 cause its easier to upgrade ddr4 based platforms

[rain lily]

it’s still crazy that 4 bit floats are useful, even with a fp16 scaler for blocks of fp4 floats

[verbal prawn]

it's so cheap

[azure topaz]

its getting expensive again

if you care about ddr4 oc at all id buy bdie rn

like, rn

[kindred halo]

Okay genuinely stuck and idk what to play

[exotic valley]

48gb of ddr4 is gonna be a metaphor reprensenting 4090, alot more expensive in the second hand market than 3090

[kindred halo]

Gimme games to play

[verbal prawn]

so i should steal the ddr4 from ennui then

[azure topaz]

yeah

[exotic valley]

here in my area, you can get at least two 3090 with the same price of one 4090

[azure topaz]

at least a kit or two

if you can find dr bdie for cheap especially id get that

[verbal prawn]

i mean i have 16gb of dr bdie

[azure topaz]

i dont think the 2x8 bdie kits are gonna get crazy but the 2x16 ones already are and theyre only going to go up

16gb of dr bdie?

[verbal prawn]

or sr i forgot

[azure topaz]

if 2x8 its sr

likely, anyway

[verbal prawn]

@limber nacelle is your bdie sr or dr?

[azure topaz]

if its a 32gb kit its dr

if its a 16gb kit its probably/higher than not chance its sr

[verbal prawn]

probably sr

[exotic valley]

do you guys think ddr5 is worth upgrading to AM5 from AM4?

[azure topaz]

yes

[brave brook]

will my 4x16GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3200CL14 with Samsung B-dies go back to the price where i bough them ? /s

[rigid fjord]

minus 3070's you mean

[azure topaz]

how much did you buy them for

[verbal prawn]

if iremember the way i figured out it was bdie was just overclocking it and the timings were like bdie

[brave brook]

975 euros /s

[azure topaz]

this is one kit rn

[brave brook]

it was the peak of DDR4 pricing back in fall 2018

[azure topaz]

at least half of what you paid

which is really good for 7 years later

terrible

[rigid fjord]

yes, it can mean a massive performance increase especially for things like coding. 3d rendering, and it could be more helpful when it comes to AI due to the bandwidth it has

[azure topaz]

min for dr bdie looks to be about 150$

[verbal prawn]

i bought 16gb of 3000mhz forlike 600 dollars in 2018

[azure topaz]

meanwhile i paid 30$ for my 2x8 3400 c16 kit

[brave brook]

https://www.gskill.com/product/165/166/1598603970/F4-3200C14D-64GTZR

[verbal prawn]

what if i just go to best buy i try to look for a bdie kit

[azure topaz]

oh its 2x32? even more expensive

[languid light]

in 2019 i got 32GB of 3600 for $160

[azure topaz]

you wont find one/if you do its not performance bdie

[brave brook]

sorry, 4x16, different model, but close enough

[azure topaz]

oh well still yeah, worth 150$ for a pair

[languid light]

not sure if 2018 pricing was that much higher in 2019

[azure topaz]

at minimum

[verbal prawn]

there was a die shortage

[azure topaz]

and not performance bdie is a funny way of saying cdie thats been rebranded as bdie for some reason

[verbal prawn]

flood or something i forgot at the factory

[languid light]

nevermind I bought mine way later than I remembered

[brave brook]

can't find them on gskill site anymore. https://www.amazon.com/3200-GB-DDR4-MHZ-Memory-Module-3200-°C14q/dp/B072HJ6DHH these 😄

[languid light]

i got mine in 2021

[brave brook]

F4-3200C14Q-64GTZR

[azure topaz]

lol 250$ for not even bdie

[verbal prawn]

did they stop making bdie?

[brave brook]

long time ago yes

[tulip sparrow]

I expect my 5800x3d to alst my 1440p monitor a long while still yet but I need to replace my GPU to handle the same monitor/vr headset

[azure topaz]

i think samsung in general has been done on ddr4 for a while

i think theres 2020 bdie idk about any later personally

maybe 2023? idk when they stopped

[verbal prawn]

when did the 3300x come out?

[azure topaz]

either way, any new kit of bdie is going to be extremely expensive and not new

[tulip sparrow]

Which is why I am looking at least a 70 tier card

[verbal prawn]

because i bought ram and i got bdie then

[azure topaz]

april 2020

[verbal prawn]

also can we talk about my rng on ram kits

i got bdie and then i got rev e

[azure topaz]

i dailied bdie and rev.e cause im goated

[azure topaz]

i mean if you bought a crucial kit your second time it would make sense

[verbal prawn]

i did that in 2 pcs

[azure topaz]

did you full tune oc it tho

[verbal prawn]

corsair

[azure topaz]

because i ran mixed dimms at full oc

[verbal prawn]

you helped me remember

[azure topaz]

oh thats right

[verbal prawn]

fun fact my brother is dailying b die and c die

[azure topaz]

grossss

[azure topaz]

i infact did not have 4x rev.e

i had 2 gskill aegis 2016 bdie and 2 rev.e dimms from 2020 it hink

[verbal prawn]

whats the best ddr5 die

[brave brook]

(ignore the search)

[azure topaz]

anything flat 14's or similar is bdie

bdie finder kind of blows

[azure topaz]

3200 c14-14-14=bdie
3600 c16-16-16= bdie
3400c16-16-16 bdie, etc

[brave brook]

unfortunately i use it on a platform which can't do it 😄

[azure topaz]

anything with low-ish flat timings is bdie

[brave brook]

2950x can run them only at 3000CL14

[azure topaz]

flat=all timings in the XMP are the same

[azure topaz]

oof

[verbal prawn]

no balls go 2:1 scaling you won't

[azure topaz]

they dont even have the speedbin that my bdie is

[brave brook]

the funny part was that the 2950x was 890 euros, the X399 Taichi was 390 euros. And the RAM was 975 😄

[azure topaz]

i have a 3400 16-16-16-36

[brave brook]

RAM was more than the CPU

[azure topaz]

LOL

[verbal prawn]

what happens if you take a computer into space

what does it do to ocing

[azure topaz]

radiation is the problem

[verbal prawn]

lead

[azure topaz]

no longer a problem

does lead protect from cosmic rays

[verbal prawn]

lead poisoning is the problem now

[azure topaz]

if no thats the next problem

if yes then no more problem

[verbal prawn]

yes

the ISS uses lead

[azure topaz]

yes

[verbal prawn]

i wanna lick it like a toad

[azure topaz]

just pulled it from the listing i bought it from

3400 is a very weird bin id love to get a 3466 bin

[wheat torrent]

[clear canyon]

why so many ssds lol

[azure topaz]

free i hope

that many sata ssds is like kind of helpful

not ever needing to worry about a drive for some rando legacy machine or server youre testing is dope

[brave brook]

when you run a 20GB model on a 16GB VRAM GPU... it spills over to RAM & CPU, which slows it down by a lot (even with 9950X)

[distant frigate]

We really need to solve the power issue with data centers

[clear canyon]

what

power issue?

[distant frigate]

Some people are reporting a lot higher electricity bills because of data centers

[verbal prawn]

what

[azure topaz]

this is in fact true

Virginia i’m sure faces that

[empty quartz]

Meow

[empty quartz]

Give canada a call

[azure topaz]

yeah actually the densest area for super computers is ashburn

[empty quartz]

We already sell electricity to the usa

[craggy cove]

https://www.npr.org/2024/09/20/nx-s1-5120581/three-mile-island-nuclear-power-plant-microsoft-ai

easy solution, i guess

[distant frigate]

Apparently data centers can help bring fiber to rural areas so I guess that could be plus

[verbal prawn]

don't give bc a call

we are running out of hydro power here

[distant frigate]

Data centers obviously need a robust backbone

[empty quartz]

Fake

[rain lily]

the US power grid isn’t really designed for data centers

[empty quartz]

Us power grid is shit

[craggy cove]

depends on how rural, if you go too rural the power grid gets too weak

120v 💪

[verbal prawn]

it's a long term problem

i think it's 2035

[distant frigate]

ISP’s could branch off that backbone and serve local areas

Seems smart to me

[verbal prawn]

power usage is growing more then new dams

[distant frigate]

Hmm. I can see that yeah

We need nuclear fusion. Cleaner than nuclear fission and more safe.

Unfortunately it’s decades away before it’s even good enough to become mainstream

[verbal prawn]

fusion ain't happening icl

[craggy cove]

10 years away from being 10 years away

[verbal prawn]

fusion has been 20 years out for 50 years

[distant frigate]

Maybe I’m being too optimistic

[brave brook]

current record from like yesterday or so is 22 minutes

[wheat torrent]

• got a sata to usb which is cool

[brave brook]

i only got 4x250GB, 1x1TB, 1x4TB spare SATA SSD

[azure topaz]

i have idk maybe 3 sata ssds

[brave brook]

(to be fair, the 4TB is replacing an aging 6TB WD Red)

[azure topaz]

an intel one and 2 micron ones

[brave brook]

and by aging i mean really old

[wheat torrent]

those ones I sent have 8k hours

[tender lichen]

does any1 know if i buy the exact same psu as the one i have now can i use the same wires bcs the psu i have rn in my gf pc is broken but if i buy the exact same model and psu as the broken one i can use the same wires?

[clear canyon]

just use the wires that comes with the new psu

[brave brook]

not worth the risk. Most likely yes, but there were cases where manufacturer changed the wire layout even for same model, so person got a PSU from RMA and it blew up the components

[tender lichen]

it is a fully modular psu and i am buying the exact same model and brand

so i wouldnt be able to use the cabel in the pc rn?

[clear canyon]

use the cables that came with the new psu

[tender lichen]

shit then

[rose python]

my pc not posting and I'm getting headache lol

[ebon marlin]

he tweaking

[bitter crater]

ALWAYS use the cable that came with the psu, sometimes even same model nrs but different revisions use different cables. Can be very expensive mistake to mix cables

[limber swallow]

why does using 21.5 inch 1080p 100hz ips monitor
feel like i am using laptop?
all laptops i used in my life was 15.6 inch 1080p (120hz or 144hz) ips monitor
i have been using for my entire life 24 inch 1080p 60hz tn monitor

[wheat torrent]

are there vram mods for the 5090 yet?

I know you can push it to consume 800 W but idk about vram

[empty quartz]

But why

32gb of vram is already more than enough for 99% of people

[latent gull]

naming schemes gonna go brrrrr

[fringe prairie]

intel strix halo competitor with nvidia iGPU incoming?

[gleaming rose]

wtf

[gleaming rose]

great, mobile GPUs that are somehow even worse than the 5000-series nvidia mgpus

[surreal totem]

hey what are the features of the different chipsets on am5? can someone help me out with it. i am a little confused

[clear canyon]

get a b series

[bitter crater]

difference between b650 and b850 is pcie gen, b650 uses gen4, b850 uses gen5, x870 adds usb 4 support, those are the main feature differences

for most ppl, a b650 is good enough

[surreal totem]

btw what is the sweet spot for the ram speed on the 9800x3d? keeping in mind i might upgrade later to the last gen x3d cpu

[clear canyon]

what? upgrading ther last gen x3d cpu but you want a 9800x3d?

thats a contradiction

[surreal totem]

nah i mean once the last generation of the am5 cpus comes out i want it to run with the same ram kit

rn i m getting the 9800x3d

[clear canyon]

i think the 9800x3d can do 6400mhz, I run 6000mhz cl30 on my 7800x3d as thats the sweetspot for mine

[surreal totem]

i was thinking 6600mhz?

[clear canyon]

no

pretty sure that makes it not 1:1 which is not good for am5

[fringe prairie]

just run 6000 c30

safe bet for am5

[clear canyon]

yeah

[surreal totem]

you mean the infinity fabric?

[clear canyon]

i dont remeber what it does but you dont get the peformance increase like you think, 6000mhz cl30 is a good kit

[surreal totem]

is the nhd15 gen 1 enough to cool the 9800x3d

[clear canyon]

yeah

[surreal totem]

6000mhz cl30 vs 6400mhz cl40 which one should i get. its at the sme price

[clear canyon]

6000 cl30 is much better

[ebon marlin]

This Lenovo Legion's standoff came off with the ssd's screw 💔💔

[ebon marlin]

Do you already own the poopy cooler

[surreal totem]

how much performance will i lose if i go for the 6400 kit?

i really like the look on it haha

[grizzled frost]

depends

[clear canyon]

just find the 6000mhz cl30 one, no reason to lose peformance when they are the same price

[surreal totem]

yeah just found it in a different store

[serene pumice]

"Don't you guys have upscaling and fake frames?!"

[surreal totem]

the problem with it is i cant find a 2 ram stick kit. should i buy the same model twice, i heard sometimes it causes some issues

[kindred halo]

The invention of Upscaling and frame generation has caused the death of optimisation

[clear canyon]

how are you not finding kits? where are you looking

[kindred halo]

It's a great technology don't get me wrong but it's NOT supposed to be an alternative to making your game run well

[surreal totem]

i m finding kits but the one i really like the looks on isnt there in a kit

[clear canyon]

where are you looking?

[surreal totem]

you wont really know

[clear canyon]

do you have access to amazon

[valid laurel]

hey for my setup i would like to have a video camera/web cam so i can record or stream my face, or use it for video calls on my computer, the reason i say camera because i would like to be able to use it for recording stuff and maybe take photos on it if possible but not necessarily, any suggestions? i want something that isn’t too expensive but not so cheap that it loses in quality, for price i was thinking maybe somewhere around £150-£250

[surreal totem]

yeah but the specific kit i m looking for isnt aavailable guess i will go for an acer one

[clear canyon]

acer?

[surreal totem]

predator

[clear canyon]

what kit are you talking about

[clear canyon]

huh?

[surreal totem]

ram kit

[clear canyon]

dude, what kit

[surreal totem]

Acer Predator Pallas II Silver

[exotic valley]

iPhone

[valid laurel]

fair, but i would like a proper camera that could possibly shoot at 4k maybe

[clear canyon]

just run this https://a.co/d/765pTqT

[wheat torrent]

are sata ports hot swappable?

[azure topaz]

yes if you enable hotswap in bios

sata as a standard is designed to be hotswap

[clear canyon]

save up for a mirrorless camera and set it up as a webcam

[azure topaz]

but by default its usually off

[clear canyon]

it can be if the board supports it

[valid laurel]

how much is it?

[azure topaz]

iphone 12/SE2 or android that can record in 4k+ camo studio

cheapest solution to that

[valid laurel]

i have a 16 plus

[clear canyon]

its a type of camera, not a specific camera

[azure topaz]

do you have a place to put it?

[valid laurel]

ok

[clear canyon]

I have the canon M200

[azure topaz]

its generally ideal to have a second phone all together for this purpose lol

[valid laurel]

not yet as i haven’t finished my setup yet

[azure topaz]

i have an iphone se2 on a phone mount + camo studio running and thats my webcam

[valid laurel]

yh i’m not that rich

[azure topaz]

you can get an iphone se2 for like 80$

[clear canyon]

I got the kit which costed around $500 USD, the camera alone is like $300 USD

[azure topaz]

that is a very cheap 4k webcam

[valid laurel]

i said 4k if possible

[azure topaz]

you never said a budget which is the most important part ;)

[clear canyon]

it was said

[azure topaz]

o my bad

[clear canyon]

Here

[azure topaz]

how much is the budget

he literally has the budget for it

😭 i dont get it

[grizzled frost]

150-200

[azure topaz]

80$ phone

8$ subscription service

thats not even required

8$ phone mount

[clear canyon]

the floppa has flopped

[sonic stream]

so i have a 13th gen intel cpu and i heard theres an issue with it getting fried or something? and the solution is to update the bios to "0x12F"? im not sure if my motherboard has that updated already

[azure topaz]

this is true i odnt like scrolling up

[clear canyon]

lol

[plain cypress]

How about subscription phone mount

[plain cypress]

Use cpu-z to quickly check your current BIOS revision from windows

There may be a windows cli way to do so but cpu-z is pretty easy and a useful program to have

Alternatively, boot into bios and look at the revision number

[sonic stream]

okay ill download it now, i just dont want to break my new laptop lol

[azure topaz]

if you dont pay it just lets go lmao

[plain cypress]

Laptops silicon is typically not a concern for the raptor lake issue

[sonic stream]

okay wut am i suppose to look at xD

[grizzled frost]

mainboard

[sonic stream]

0x11F is right?

[grizzled frost]

you're one update behind on the microcode

[sonic stream]

how do i get the new one?

[grizzled frost]

search your laptop model, then bios update

[sonic stream]

sorry what do i search exactly xD

[grizzled frost]

"Katana 15 HX B14WGK"

[sonic stream]

this one....? it's the first thing poped up lol

[plain cypress]

https://www.msi.com/Laptop/Katana-15-HX-B14WX/support?sub_product=Katana-15-HX-B14WGK

[sonic stream]

okkoko

wut do i do with the zip xD

[plain cypress]

Unzip it

There may be a read me guide in the zip

If not, good luck

[sonic stream]

uhmmm it says "Use the USB flash drive with FAT32 format"

can i use a portable ssd

[surreal totem]

are asrock motherboards good? i saw some reports saying it kills am5 cpus in some cases

[plain cypress]

In what world does someone own a USB SSD but no flash drive

[sonic stream]

OMG YES THERES A VIDEO tutorial

[tulip sparrow]

that is basically what the lead dev said

[sonic stream]

the ssd came with the laptop lul

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6DAWQCI9eJo

Bloody Gearbox CEO being an idiot

[wheat torrent]

I should of paid more attention when I bought my motherboard

All my other pcie lanes are x1

[plain cypress]

Like it was bundled by the retailer?

[sonic stream]

yeah

and now i cant unmute my volume for some reason

oh it says it has 237 gb woah

[tulip sparrow]

What's funny is that people are forgetting the 12th gen i5 being resold as an i5-120 so this isn't the first time they have done this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGXh7g3SdCs

[steel umbra]

another alder lake cpu??

intel is doing the amd strategy but… executed the wrong way

like ryzen 5000 gt series

also, people already owned am4 mbs but, probably not lga1700

[steel umbra]

recommended customer price $211?!?!

are they actually nuts

[green tendon]

Hello guys, does it worth upgrading from a Nokia 106 to an iPhone 17 (Seriously). i was using it because it is durable and its battery can last for a 28 days straight on standby

[steel umbra]

didn’t anyone from intel think pricing/recommending a 3-4 year old mid range cpu at $211 literally sucks

the 5600 is really close compared to it at $90

even cheaper used.

[ebon marlin]

Dying Light The Beast just released and is on already version 1.2.0

[steel umbra]

@ebon marlin cat9000 what do you thimk about that

[ebon marlin]

what socket

1700?

[steel umbra]

ye

[ebon marlin]

oh yeah lga1700

[steel umbra]

rebranded i5-12400 at $211 in q3 2025

i have no idea for who is this cpu

[serene pumice]

Just twist the Screw & it will align.

[placid belfry]

It puts pressure on the board

Boards are delicate slight off pressure will develop damage over time

[kindred halo]

Payday 2 install currently at 75%

[ebon marlin]

@steel umbra

[steel umbra]

push it a little if it can align

[ebon marlin]

This is a rebranded 10400 😭 😭 😭 😭

Holy shit what the fuck is Intel smoking on

[steel umbra]

do i see right

$200? . . .

[ebon marlin]

"products formerly comet lake"

14nm

[steel umbra]

i want that shit /j

wasn’t 10400f originally around $200?

truly very refreshing to see 5 year old cpu repackaged for the same price 🍵

[serene pumice]

10th gen Intel fail
11th gen Intel epicc

[steel umbra]

i9-11900k tops all with it’s 2 cores missing, but who cares about dat

it has 1000 more numbers!

and it’s an excellent space heater++

and the price? pff don’t be poor!

[serene pumice]

it also got the world record for DDR4 frequency

[plain cypress]

CL58

[steel umbra]

bigger better

obviously

[exotic valley]

Prob much stronger than the cpu im on right now

[limpid dune]

the funniest part about the i5-110 is that it's not made using 14nm, nor 14+, nor 14++. it's made on 14+++

[exotic valley]

Yeh the same CPU I’m on right now

Feeling super duper super plus TI now

[limpid dune]

they're doing to comet lake what Intel does to zen 3... they found a couple of CCDs in the couch cushions so BOOM we get another SKU

[plain cypress]

Well what is a 10400 made on

[limpid dune]

the funniest part is that they copied EVERY FEATURE of the 10400... including the MSRP. ignoring the fact that

• it's ancient
• five years of inflation makes it even LESS affordable

[plain cypress]

Either there is market demand for 14nm or they found a shipping container of old wafers

[placid belfry]

My case standoffs are misaligned
Bottom left is way below board

Middle right bad too

Misaligned standoffs

I need a new case

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/nzxt-h6-flow-atx-mid-tower-pc-case-with-dual-chamber-white/J3GWJHQ7Q3

Is this good

[plain cypress]

For $75 it's pretty decent but you've blocked me so this case will actually give you skin cancer

[pulsar heart]

California has done a study on this, he's right. It will give you skin cancer because you blocked him

[brave pike]

First message I see after joining the server and I already like the atmosphere

[idle spear]

How bad of a bottleneck is a ryzen 5 1700 😭💔

And a rx 6600xt

Cyberpunk is insanely stuttery and i want to know if it’s something i messed up with drivers or a bad bottleneck 😭

[brave pike]

Most definitely a cpu bottleneck

[plain cypress]

Bro was blocking people because he didn't like being proved wrong and I asked for a block and succeeded

[brave pike]

I'd at least go for a 5000 series AMD cpu for the 6600xt

I guess a 3000 series could work in a pinch

[opaque bay]

i saw a guy on reddit with 4 optical drives im crying 😭

[empty quartz]

Just started playing a game that released today

[molten patrol]

why is my ram clock to a weird number 🤔

[tribal wedge]

Hum depends what ram are you useing and do you have 2 different ram or are thay the same i dont no to much about how ram works with this but I can try to help I know a little bit

[molten patrol]

1 stick of ram (laptop)

[exotic valley]

dunno, but im using a 3600x in combination with 4070 ti super

[limpid dune]

1700 and 6600XT is pretty normal actually, but the 1700 is a relatively weak CPU

you can OC it pretty easily and turn it into an 1800X lmao

[vague glacier]

im so jealous

[tribal wedge]

ya i dont know what is going on there sorry

[limpid dune]

now THAT is cursed, unless it's at 4K or something

[rigid fjord]

AI be wrong on that tbh dude,

[limpid dune]

modern chips can multiply base clock by 2/3 to get the RAM clock, it's pretty normal. Same thing as when you see DDR4-2133.33333...

[rigid fjord]

it's not a bottleneck as such but tbh, the shit imc it has, you'd want a zen 2 or zen 3 cpu at least for playing it

[limpid dune]

I have a buddy that plays cyberpunk on a 1700 and a Vega 64 and it does "alright" at 1080p60

[plain cypress]

I don't trust other people's opinions

Or eyes

[rigid fjord]

this is how you'd clone multiple dvd's and such in the past

[limpid dune]

I should get a Radeon VII and use RADV raytracing on it

this is definitely not a stupid idea

something's wrong here, I can feel it

[grizzled frost]

[agile stag]

i cant believe intel is selling ewaste!!! the i5 110 is so slow and underpowered and also FIVE YEARS OLD IMAGINE USING AN IPHONE 12 YOU COULD NOT intel should know better smh

hopefully it can run windows 11 and chrome

[grizzled frost]

bit late to the party mate

also yes, it can run win11 and chrome perfectly fine

[plain cypress]

I still wanna know if it's newly fabbed silicon or if they found some old wafers

[agile stag]

are you sure,

its old

[agile stag]

it would be funny to get one to compare but someones probably gonna beat me to it

[buoyant bridge]

holding a peice of cardboard into my case with friction and the bottom of a fan

truly winning

[grizzled frost]

yes...

it's not that old

[idle spear]

I spent two weeks trying to burn CDs in windows but for it not to work but it literally took less than two minutes on Linux 💔🥀

[midnight wind]

cdrdao users

Brasero🥹

[limpid dune]

the funniest part about the i5-110 is that it means Intel will have to extend the UHD 630 depreciation date until at least 2030 or so 😭

that iGPU was introduced in 2016, then they stagnated on it until 2020, now they're re-releasing it in 2025 😭

[haughty compass]

does anyone know what im doing wrong here? I have the game already installed but it wont detect it

[limpid dune]

bad news for AMD fans! Intel's latest CPU is a Kaby Lake i3 taped to a cheeseburger. it will arrive in Q3 2025 and will cost fifteen thousand dollars

[brave pike]

What's the point of this re-release anyway

Can't say I'm too well informed on intel stuff atm

[rose stream]

Couldn't even do Rocket Lake, despite all it's drawbacks, or something Alder Lake with only the P-cores or something.

Hell, they didn't even use their old 10a node either.

[limpid dune]

oh cool, I'll definitely be installing the i5-110 in my... tablet?

[rose stream]

Boi, what even is that?

Like, since when was it good, with the 14 node, on tablet?

[limpid dune]

the weirdest part is that they copied EVERYTHING... even down to the MSRP. it's the same MSRP as the i5-10400. that MSRP was set in 2019, NOT INCLUDING INFLATION

[rose stream]

They have the smaller, tighter-packed nodes for a reason and everyone has had years to find out about it.

This... Sounds like the standard desktop node pretty much.

With virtually no changes other than marketing.

[rose stream]

Well that's stupid.

[limpid dune]

I'm 99% sure it is literally just silicon from 2019 that didn't get sold in overseas markets

[rose stream]

Well that's just makes it a dumber choice then. They did something Comet Lake, still saying it at the exact same price with virtually no changes other than the naming, just to try and make a quick buck.

[buoyant bridge]

Nothing actually holds it down it's all friction

[solid crown]

iphone 12 is perfectly usable lmfaooo

I just recently upgraded from the iphone 7 cause apps stopped working on it, on an iphone 13 now and its great

[buoyant bridge]

It's a fine replacement for stuff like the N100

[solid crown]

brother 8th gen intel can run windows 11, hell even cpus before that can run windows 11 if you bypass tpm

[buoyant bridge]

I used windows 11 on a sandy bridge chip for like 2 years

a comet lake 6 core should have No Issue if a sandy bridge 6 core didn't

110 is just a 10400F which is perfectly adequate anyways, even for light gaming it's actually pretty good
$200 is pretty steep though

[solid crown]

yeah it is

[buoyant bridge]

225F is usually on sale for under $200 lol

[solid crown]

I wish they released more lga 1700 ngl, but ig with all the negative sentiment around it, probably not a good idea profit wise

[buoyant bridge]

LGA 1700 had a long ass lifespan for Intel

[solid crown]

yea it did

[buoyant bridge]

it technically got 6 CPU generations most of the time they only get 2-3

[solid crown]

6?

[buoyant bridge]

yeah iirc?

[midnight wind]

What's the model name, I gotta see this

[buoyant bridge]

12th, 13th, 14th, weird rebranded 10th gens, weird rebranded mobile chips, and WS chips

[solid crown]

core 110 its a 10400f

[buoyant bridge]

I'm pretty sure it's ment to replace stuff like industry chips they just gave it a consumer sku?

[solid crown]

there were leaks of p-core only lga 1700 that was gonna release but seems like it weas no dice 🙁

[buoyant bridge]

it's definitely priced like a industry chip

[buoyant bridge]

NGL since windows 11, Arch Linux, and Ubuntu can all take advantage of E cores now what's bad about them?

[midnight wind]

Huh this isn't kaby lake

[solid crown]

nothing, but it does make the cpu cheaper

[buoyant bridge]

They where too early to market because windows 10 and 11 22H2 couldn't take advantage of them

[buoyant bridge]

I'd prefer a no HT chip over a no E core chip

[solid crown]

compare those 2 cpus and come back

[buoyant bridge]

HT is just a performance détriment in the real world

[solid crown]

oh really?

I feel like the 9700K sucks ass compared to the 8700k

[buoyant bridge]

I've got HT off on all of my systems rn

[midnight wind]

e-peen

[buoyant bridge]

I've been able to use my E cores fully for years now 😭

Solus my beloved

[midnight wind]

they both seem to be comet lake

[buoyant bridge]

Solus was the second Linux distro to actually utilize e cores and it was doing it literally years before anything else but cosl did

(rest in peace cosl)

[solid crown]

oh yeah its comet lake not kaby

[midnight wind]

Oh

[solid crown]

sorry didnt realize the guy said it was kaby (I just assumed kaby was 10th gen)

[midnight wind]

my 7700 could've has a friend

[sweet crescent]

whats ht?

[buoyant bridge]

Hyper Threading

[solid crown]

may I introduce you to the A10-7700K

[buoyant bridge]

It's known for causing single core performance loss

[sweet crescent]

thank you

[solid crown]

different socket but hey

[midnight wind]

I upgraded the PC at my dads house from an i5-2310 to an i7-265K and skipped hyperthreading entirely 🧌

[buoyant bridge]

Ironic thing I never used a DDR4 Intel system

[plain cypress]

Based?

[buoyant bridge]

I skipped DDR4

[midnight wind]

Also that upgrade skipped ddr4

[buoyant bridge]

Went from dual E5 2690 V2s to a i9 12900KF

Never used DDR4 on Intel

[midnight wind]

dang you daily drove a Xeon system?

[buoyant bridge]

Yeah? It wasn't unheard of in the mid-late 2010s

Intel CPUs never really improved much in single core between sandy and coffee

You could buy a dual CPU E5 system used for similar prices to Core XE and be a year behind and get a ton of stuff core XE didn't have

The Dell T3610 exists because so many people where turning T3600s into hackintoshes due to how easy they are to hackintosh

Dell could have made revised boards like supermicro/HP/Asus/Lenovo did but instead they made new board designs to be less similar to the 2013 Mac pro

[buoyant bridge]

2012-2020 had a INSANELY good market of used Xeon systems that had basically no single core disadvantage over new desktop hardware

And if you stayed on E5 V2 your DDR3 memory was actually better than DDR4 all the way up to kaby lake 😭 😭

(1866 + ECC + 4/8 channels was better than 2133/2400 + 2/4 channels)

[high elm]

[frosty oriole]

So, I asked ChatGPT to make a full log of our chat in a text file, and this is what it gave me:

[buoyant bridge]

I was a chud and had dual 2690 v2s

[buoyant bridge]

It has a text file limit of like 26000 characters of smth

[frosty oriole]

Oh.

[buoyant bridge]

I tried vibe coding once

never again that was unbearable

[warm saffron]

guys I need validation or I need to be told I am an idiot

[buoyant bridge]

idk what'd u do

[warm saffron]

Current specs:
Dell XPS 8930
i7 9700
dell mobo that doesnt overclock, no XMP.
EVGA 1080 ti
storage case blah blah

the opportunity, for 500 dollars i could get on FB marketplace:
some dudes Cyberpower series C computer bought 1 year ago
Specs:
• Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 7600 (up to 5.1GHz)
• Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 7600 8GB
• Memory: 16GB DDR5 RAM
• Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD (fast boot & load times)

looks like an AM5 but with an am4 cpu in it

[buoyant bridge]

Idk why you mentioned overclock or xmp ur on 9th gen

7600 is AM5 btw

[warm saffron]

oh

🤤

[buoyant bridge]

Cyberpower PCs have a lot of issues btw 😭

that's an okay price but keep that in mind

You'll probably be replacing the SSD, power supply, and maybe motherboard 2-3 years down the line

[warm saffron]

really? they are that unreliable?

[buoyant bridge]

It's already a 1-3 year old system?

[warm saffron]

1 year old

[buoyant bridge]

4-6 years is pretty normal for those cheaply made prebuilts

[warm saffron]

according to john facebook anyway

[buoyant bridge]

It's likely closer to 2 years

AMD 7000 is 3 years old now

[warm saffron]

he said he bought it for 1000

so im assuming that means he got it when it was a "budget" chipset

[buoyant bridge]

nah that'd be pretty normal prices for that system new when AM5 came out

[warm saffron]

well, what would you do at like 500 or below? is it a good enough deal or should i HODL

im a cheapass lookin for a good steal

if it aint a steal I dont want it

[buoyant bridge]

$500 is fine for what it is just expect 2-3 years needing parts replacements

Usually the boards are fine but the ssds are horrible

[wheat torrent]

Why would he replace the motherboard?

[buoyant bridge]

And the power supplys are hit or miss

[buoyant bridge]

They've used some pretty bad boards at times

[wheat torrent]

It doesn't matter much

[buoyant bridge]

cyberpower uses special cheaper versions of off the shelf boards that have VRM failures pretty often

[wheat torrent]

The am5 deal will allow you to upgrade your CPU to the newest and best up until 2027

[buoyant bridge]

^

[warm saffron]

keep in mind I could swap in my 1080ti and just sell the GPU off

so trade value is more like 300 ish

[buoyant bridge]

I'd sell the 1080 Ti tbh

[warm saffron]

muh 1440p

[buoyant bridge]

1080 Ti isn't 12_2 is it?

[wheat torrent]

1080 ti ~ 5050 I recall

[warm saffron]

evga 11gb 1080 ti

so its kinda neck and neck with the RX

[buoyant bridge]

Also iirc the 1080 Ti is at it's EOL for drivers right?

[buoyant bridge]

The Radeon has RT (needed in some games), Upscaling, and DX 12_2

[warm saffron]

yeah thats true

[wheat torrent]

1080 ti legendary card

[buoyant bridge]

I love my 6950 XT

[warm saffron]

wild shit

[buoyant bridge]

1070 Ti was the last Nvidia card I ever liked

I had a 3090 suprim when I built my current PC fuck that GPU to hell and back

[wheat torrent]

Why

[high elm]

my 2080ti gets 17000 on time spy

[wheat torrent]

🔥 idk what the numbers mean

[warm saffron]

should I ask the seller to post a cinebench

I dont want him to roach out

[wheat torrent]

Test in person best way

[buoyant bridge]

Somehow could overload my 850W PSU, kept causing any PC I put it in to randomly throw up GPU post failures (even after I rma'd it), really bad Linux drivers

[wheat torrent]

[warm saffron]

and risk getting shot

[wheat torrent]

Its a solid GPU

Tough luck

[buoyant bridge]

Anddd it also never worked right

switched to a 6950 XT and never had a single issue

[wheat torrent]

Rtx 0090 GPUs hold value really well

[buoyant bridge]

Yeah it's in my server rn for VMs

hyper-V GPU-P is pretty inconsistent on Nvidia cards though sometimes I have to fuck with drivers

[wheat torrent]

It costs 850 USD right now in my country

[warm saffron]

its nerve wracking to buy a used prebuilt but....for someone whos a brokie like me and being able to go to AM5....I guess I gotta riskit for the biscuit

[wheat torrent]

Used

[buoyant bridge]

I've had a ton of issues out of 3 different 3090 Suprim Xs when trying to be used as a desktop card

[wheat torrent]

Linux?

[buoyant bridge]

Like even in my server every few boots if a monitor is connected it'll throw a post code

[buoyant bridge]

In the server it's on Windows

Everywhere else has been Linux

[wheat torrent]

Eh

I wouldn't say it's the card problem

It could be YOUR specific card

[buoyant bridge]

The most stable experience I've had with it was in a headless windows server

[wheat torrent]

But not the card in general

[buoyant bridge]

I've had 3 different ones of the same model

[wheat torrent]

Hard to say lots of factors at play

[buoyant bridge]

I've RMA'd it 3 times, once was a microcenter exchange the second was a MSI exchange

[buoyant bridge]

It's done the same shit in every system it's been in

[wheat torrent]

I've seen people complain about the 12 pin and that's it

[buoyant bridge]

If a monitor is connected it'll randomly throw post codes but never when there's no monitor connected at boot

It needs a shitload of power too (when I originally bought it it was in my old PC with a 1300W PSU then I put it in my new PC with a 850W and it'd overload the PSU)

[wheat torrent]

I get what you're saying

[buoyant bridge]

Couldn't transfer the PSU because this is proprietary ASF btw

[wheat torrent]

but I think its just unluck on your end

[buoyant bridge]

I breifly had a 4080 that was doing a lot of similar shit too

[wheat torrent]

3090 is still highly valuabled

if it would have such issues for everyone then it wouldnt sell for so much today

[buoyant bridge]

Every Nvidia card I've owned after the 10 series has been extremely weird with my desktop monitor too

And that's been talked about online by a LOT of people

[wheat torrent]

yeah and my 3070 card never crashed or bluescreened ever since I bought it

No issues

[buoyant bridge]

the Dell UP2715K and all other dual link 5K monitors have issues with Nvidia cards newer than 10 series

[wheat torrent]

Not one single instance

[buoyant bridge]

My 4080 wouldn't boot unless it was set to OC mode on Linux

It'd always kernal panic at startup

[limpid dune]

i3-14100, i9-14901KE, and Xeon E-2488 are what you're lookin at, those are real chips

[buoyant bridge]

Why Nvidia stopped supporting dual link display port monitors I don't know

they don't officially support them after 10 series and you have to mod your driver to get that support back

[wheat torrent]

Ehh

have this

[buoyant bridge]

it'd be okay if non dual link ones existed at 5K 27" but they don't

[limpid dune]

nvidia linux moment

[buoyant bridge]

You're not using a 5K monitor though

[wheat torrent]

i wanted to get a 6k one

[limpid dune]

idk, but my 4080 Super has worked just fine on linux... IFF the drivers are set up

[wheat torrent]

but not avaiable in my country

ill just get a 4k

[buoyant bridge]

It's either shell out for a 6K 32", step down to a 4K 24, or get a thunderbolt monitor which you also can't use with Nvidia cards normally

Samsung makes the S9 now but that's

the exception

[wheat torrent]

retina res display must feel good

people say the s9 is dogshit

borderlands 4 on a 6k display probably would get like what

10 fps on a 5090?

[buoyant bridge]

The S9 is dogshit

[buoyant bridge]

You can play at 4K just fine

[wheat torrent]

just fine is 40 fps

[buoyant bridge]

Nobody with a 200% scaled display plays games at full res theres zero point

[wheat torrent]

6k is 2.5 the resolution so

whopping 16 fps

[wheat torrent]

does 6k integer scale with 4k/1080p?

[buoyant bridge]

sorta yes

the standard res for a 32" is 4K the 200% is 6K

Like how 1440P to 5K and 1080P to 4K

[carmine yew]

6k scales from 1080 fine

But not from 4k

[buoyant bridge]

Usually people with 200% scaled monitors will just set a actual integer scaled custom resolution for games

[wheat torrent]

well whatever ill get a higher resolution display in 3-4 years

4k will do just fine

ill still play games at 1080p

[buoyant bridge]

Are you doing anything design related?

[warm saffron]

aAAAaaAa marketplace photos whhhyy

[wheat torrent]

I do

[buoyant bridge]

Ah makes sense

The original reason Dell made the UP2715K was so you could edit a 4K vidéo with a 4K preview

[wheat torrent]

I like the lg gx9

5k2k

[clear canyon]

cyber power is what it looks like

[warm saffron]

yeah i just wanna see how shit the mobo and PSU are

[buoyant bridge]

explode

5K2K is not 5K it's 4K ultrawide

[warm saffron]

the guy doesnt know computers, the best kinda seller

[wheat torrent]

its 5k horizontal and 4k vertical

its neither 4k neither 5k

its 5k2k

[buoyant bridge]

5120x2160 is the ultrawide of 3840x2160

like how 3440x1440 is the ultrawide of 2560x1440

[wheat torrent]

its not huge ultra wide though its only 21:9

[buoyant bridge]

5120x2160 is called 5K because 5K doesn't have an actual spec
The real 5K panel (as in 218 PPI at 27") is 5120x2880 though

[buoyant bridge]

21:9 is standard ultrawide

16:9 27" and 21:9 34"

[buoyant bridge]

It's still only like 180 PPI either way

Its gonna scale really weirdly

[wheat torrent]

yes but most 45 inch monitors are more ultrawide

im saying this 45 inch is not as ultrawide

[buoyant bridge]

no they aren't?

49" is standard for 32:9

[wheat torrent]

this is anonther 45 inch

[buoyant bridge]

34", 40" and 45" are usually 21:9

[wheat torrent]

meanwhile this is the lg gx9

[buoyant bridge]

That sucks for PPI btw

[wheat torrent]

im on worse ppi 🤷‍♂️

I dont mind

[buoyant bridge]

If you're doing creative stuff you want higher PPI 😭

[wheat torrent]

my 4k will be a bit lower ppi I recall

[wheat torrent]

I can't see well

[buoyant bridge]

Is it 4K 27" or 32"

[wheat torrent]

32

[buoyant bridge]

oh yeah that's only like 80 iirc

[wheat torrent]

nvm its 138 ppi

whatever

[buoyant bridge]

oh damn I'm WAYYY off wtf

[wheat torrent]

80 felt off but I didnt know its 138 either

eitherway, as I said ill get a 5k-6k monitor in 3-5 years once they actually do it properly

the only option I have is 3k usd monitor from apple

I gotta wait

and im not in a hurry either

[buoyant bridge]

They exist

Dell makes a $2000 6K 32"

And used to make a $600 5K 27"

there's also a TON of weirdo monitors on Ali Express that are just the panel out of the 5K iMac 27"

[wheat torrent]

as I said, the only option I have is apple monitors that costs 3k usd

[buoyant bridge]

and the LG ultra fine 5K (but this isn't possible to use with Nvidia gpus anyways)

[buoyant bridge]

Why?

[wheat torrent]

because I live in a shithole

poor economy, poor laws everything is shit in this country

[buoyant bridge]

Ohh

[ebon plover]

I want to get 2 solid monitors that dont break the bank, any recs? I game casually, watch youtube, rarely work from home, if that helps at all. Currently have 2 27 inch, ones a dell, one lenovo

[buoyant bridge]

Look at LG ips stuff under ultra gear

If you're okay with used and don't need more than 60hz LG ultra sharps starting from Uxx17s are amazing for the money

2 of these and a decent monitor arm for both can easily run under $200

[ebon plover]

Sweet thanks man! Where can I find that at? you got a link or anything?

[midnight wind]

4k27" is now the baseline standard for me because I got used to it. Can still see pixels from where I'm sitting but only when focusing

its really nice

[buoyant bridge]

I just searched them on eBay so they're used ofc

[ebon plover]

ah got ya got ya

[buoyant bridge]

U2718Q exists for about $120 without a stand

[midnight wind]

I think I'll stick with my 27ul500-w for now until maybe stuff with good HDR can become reasonably priced

It sounds like kind of a side grade from it

[buoyant bridge]

I find it insane a decade later nothing better than the UP2715K exists as a dedicated monitor

[midnight wind]

For the used price?

Because otherwise there's still better monitors but for a pretty penny

[buoyant bridge]

Not true

The LG Uf5K comes close but is worse in color

[midnight wind]

am I missing something here? The UP2715K doesn't seem like it even supports a wide color gamut

[buoyant bridge]

The viewfinity S9 is worse and every way

[buoyant bridge]

It's dci-p3 with Macs

[midnight wind]

I can't really find any real reviews but the ones that I could find only show it in sRGB

does it have good coverage

oh the spec sheet I finally found has 99% adobe rgb

[normal maple]

For a mini Itx case, I'm having trouble choosing between the s300, s400, or l300. I was originally planning on getting the s400. It doesn't look that much bigger than the s300 and you get better cooling. However, someone said that the extra volume makes the s400 alot less portable than the s300 or l300. Should I just trust my original decision, or will the extra size make the s400 less portable?

They recommended the l300 because it is smaller and vertical.

[grizzled frost]

none of the above, pick the formd T1

[buoyant bridge]

yeah if ur using a GPU that supports it fully

[normal maple]

Is it really worth the extra money? I also like that the others have handles

[sharp lance]

I think my gpu is cooked

[midnight wind]

bro has an entire keyboard equivalent of just macro keys on the left

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/zenless-zone-zero-ukinami-yuzuha-zzz-gif-18343167169727290174

[sharp lance]

Nevermind

[sinful cobalt]

dudes keyboard is the size of my entire desk after the mousepad

[stark kiln]

I realized Facebook marketplace had insane gems near me eBay could never offer

[devout bramble]

This good for ps5?

[solar moat]

where do i enable free sync on nvida gpus?

[sharp lance]

Im using my dads setup to test a pc i slapped tg

[azure topaz]

gsync compatible

under the gsync menu

[solar moat]

what drop down menu is that menu in?

[pale flint]

ps 5 is max 120 hz

[buoyant bridge]

idk if the PS5 supports 1440?

I thought it was either 1080P or 4K

[buoyant bridge]

nvidia control panel

[solar moat]

ok i dont have it

[buoyant bridge]

https://www.nvidia.com/content/Control-Panel-Help/vLatest/en-us/mergedProjects/nvdsp/To_use_variable_refresh_rates.htm

freesync and gsync are not the same fyi

AMD and intel support freesync, Nvidia supports gSYNC

[solar moat]

i dont have that menu

[buoyant bridge]

nvidia control panel?

[solar moat]

yes

[buoyant bridge]

you need to install your drivers then it comes with your drivers

[solar moat]

i dont have gsync drop down in there

[buoyant bridge]

ohh

ur monitor isnt gsync then

[solar moat]

its not its free sync

[buoyant bridge]

yeah then u cant use it

[latent pasture]

it supports any hdmi 2.1

[buoyant bridge]

nvidia gpus dont support freesync

[latent pasture]

they do

[buoyant bridge]

no but like can it actually render games at 1440P

[royal loom]

Replaced the red fan with an smaller older and black fan since looks better (just temporary until I get an aio)

[buoyant bridge]

no they dont just a lot of them are also gsync compatible

[hoary agate]

yall do i do it for no reason

[buoyant bridge]

nvm apparently SOME freesync compatible monitors work with nvidia

[buoyant bridge]

is 2698 a 160W?

that board wont post with 2 160W cpus fyi

[hoary agate]

its 135w

[buoyant bridge]

okay wow really good deal actually

also kuru pfp 👍

[hoary agate]

yeee

i will purchase along with another stick of ddr4 after

[buoyant bridge]

is DDR4 ecc signifcantly more than DDR3 ecc used??

[hoary agate]

YES

[buoyant bridge]

wtf 😭

[hoary agate]

ddr3 16gb is like 5 bucks on ebay and its 15 for ddr4

[latent pasture]

they do even before they made the gsync compatible branding

[buoyant bridge]

ECC though?

[hoary agate]

the one im looking at thats similar to the other is 17.15

[buoyant bridge]

yeah on SPECIFIC MONITORS

not all free sync monitors are supported on nvidia

my ultrawide is not I know that for a fact

[azure topaz]

freesync=gsync compatible

because the spec for gsync compatible is literally just vrr

all freesync=gsync compatible iirc
but not all gsync=freesync

[buoyant bridge]

its monitors later than like

2021 iirc all are supported

some older freesync ones are not

[azure topaz]

interesting i see

[solar moat]

🤦 i dont have passcal gpu

[azure topaz]

pascal or later

[solar moat]

i have maxwell

[buoyant bridge]

ah 😭

[clear canyon]

damn, time for an upgrade lol

[solar moat]

why i getting good fps in all games i play and i cpu limtied anyway

[buoyant bridge]

ik 34WP50S-W can't do gsync compatible (I dont have that junk monitor anymore but I know it couldn't when I had it)

[hoary agate]

just the cpus and mobo

[buoyant bridge]

fire

[hoary agate]

500 W power supply with two 135 W CPU and a 250 W GPU 💔

[buoyant bridge]

apparently its just the older Freesync Premium+ branding LG exclusively used

[buoyant bridge]

I have a 600W running 2 140W cpus and 14 HDDs and its been that way since 2013

[hoary agate]

Jesus

[buoyant bridge]

its a thermaltake smart 600W too

[hoary agate]

I’m probably gonna have to power limit the shit out of the GPU, but I already do that

[buoyant bridge]

its upset several people in this server 😭

[hoary agate]

evga white for me

[buoyant bridge]

thats not a horrible powersupply though

the smart 600W is actually a bomb

[hoary agate]

I originally used it with like a sixth gen i5 an AMD flagship from 2015

[latent pasture]

people believe in the tierlist too much
lowtier psu is fine if ur not maxing out the rail

[buoyant bridge]

the smart 600W is pretty bad about cycling

in servers its fine and will easily last 10 years
in desktops where it cycles constantly itll die within a few years

[hoary agate]

Is it a bomb now?

we’ll see

[clear canyon]

what are you powering

[hoary agate]

135w cpu

[clear canyon]

and why do you need that?

[hoary agate]

dual cpu

[clear canyon]

does the psu that comes with it not support it?

[hoary agate]

its a bare motherboard so no

[clear canyon]

ahhh ok

i was thinking it was a full system lmao

what cpus you got? im assuming its x99?

[hoary agate]

e5 2698 v3 (x2 so 32 cores 64 threads @ $21.65 after taxes)

[royal loom]

Can I use it for my Rtx 5060 ti?

[hoary agate]

EPS so cpu connector

[clear canyon]

no

[royal loom]

Awww

[clear canyon]

not bad for 32 cores 64 threads, what are ya going to use it for?

[hoary agate]

bench mark

[clear canyon]

bench mark?

[hoary agate]

also cuz my i5 7600k is shit

[clear canyon]

what

[hoary agate]

benchmarking

[clear canyon]

im confused, why go for old cpus just for bench marking>?

[hoary agate]

its cheap

[royal loom]

Should I use an 6 pin to 8 pin pci-e adapter for GPU until I'm able to buy an new PSU?

[clear canyon]

i get that but why benchmarking?

[clear canyon]

what psu

[royal loom]

Ik it's not good and could cause cable melt

[hoary agate]

i dont have an actual use lol i wanted to buy it cuz its cool

[royal loom]

500w

[hoary agate]

so im gonna do some benchmarks with that

[clear canyon]

better psu

[royal loom]

Ik already said I'm gonna buy a better one since just 1 6 pin pci-e and 500w works but isn't enough

But should I untill I'm able to buy the new PSU?

[clear canyon]

no

it wont work

[royal loom]

It would wouldn't I play any games but of course I do so either system shuts down from to much power pulling from the PSU or the adapter will melt

[clear canyon]

what

please use commas, idk what you just said

[royal loom]

Psu enough but not for games
PSU says TO MUCH POOOOWER and shuts down system cus to much
Adapter will melt if again TO MUCH POOOOWER

PSU only enough for idle

[clear canyon]

adapter wont melt, the psu wont allow it

[clear canyon]

yes, if that

[royal loom]

6 pin to 8 pin

Not 2x6 pin to 8 pin

[clear canyon]

ik

it wont melt bc it wont allow it

thats what I ment

[royal loom]

I got an older psu

[clear canyon]

ok

that doesnt really matter for this lol

the 5060ti needs a minimum of a 550 watt psu, but I recommend at least a 650 for future upgrades

[royal loom]

Ima go to the flee market one day and buy some old ah pc with an 1000w PSU which has atleast an 8 pin pci-e or 3 6 pin pci-e cables

[clear canyon]

uh, dont, get a new one

[royal loom]

I'm planning on getting an 750w

[royal loom]

Why

[clear canyon]

bc so you know its not another old psu? and you get warrenty

dont cheap out on ur psu

[royal loom]

Don't really care about warranty

[clear canyon]

that and older psus are not up to standard, they have missing features that they need

[royal loom]

Oh

[clear canyon]

modern GPUs has power spikes that shoot really high

and it can overload a psu

[royal loom]

Good to know

[clear canyon]

that issue started on 30 series

3090 transient spikes was blowing psus

[royal loom]

;-;

Wait I didn't checked how much an rtx 3090 is since I kinda wanna buy one as an gift for my friend who got an Rx 580

[clear canyon]

I have one, ur better off getting a 5070

[royal loom]

So the 3090 not worth it?

[clear canyon]

not really since they are pricy due to their 24gigs of vram, also they consume alot of power and make a ton of heat

[royal loom]

Oh ok

Then I'll get him an rtx 5070 then

Brb

Nvm I GTG so not brb

Cya

[clear canyon]

bye

[pale flint]

why would you buy 3090 in 2025

[clear canyon]

the vram, thats why its still so expensive

[royal loom]

And someone told me to buy an rtx 3070 instead of an rtx 5060 ti

[clear canyon]

tf, why

dont get a 3070

@royal loom

[royal loom]

Ik

Dw I already got the Rtx 5060 ti

[clear canyon]

ok good lol

[royal loom]

I got it since I don't need anything better and it got newer tech and better features

[clear canyon]

yeah

[royal loom]

Put it on display as long as I can't use it ;-; (PSU just 500w and just 1 6 pin pci-e cable)

[clear canyon]

lol

[royal loom]

Anyways GTG for this time

And ignore the Rx 6400

[clear canyon]

huh?

[royal loom]

On the right

[clear canyon]

ignore the 6400?

[royal loom]

The Rx 6400

[clear canyon]

ik

but wdym by ignore it?

this?

[royal loom]

It's on the right side on the pic and not the theme rn

[royal loom]

Ye

[clear canyon]

whats in ur current system?

[royal loom]

The same card just had it out for some time to look how both cards look next to each other

[clear canyon]

ah I see

[royal loom]

Cya

[clear canyon]

bye

[wheat torrent]

why dont people use deep desks

I wouldn't use any desk other than a deep desk

[clear canyon]

room

[wheat torrent]

this is how I have my keyboard and my mouse

holy compression

[clear canyon]

its forever loading

there we go

why no mouse pad?

[wheat torrent]

dont need it

[clear canyon]

uh, mousepad is much better than bare desk but you do you lol

[wheat torrent]

hows it better

[clear canyon]

in every way from feel, smoothness, looks, etc

[long goblet]

so.. now that i bought a 9060XT, what games are worth it to buy?

[clear canyon]

cp77

[wheat torrent]

would my desk look better if I cover it with a square black fabric/cloth

[clear canyon]

not all mouse pads are black

[wheat torrent]

any color

[clear canyon]

and those are ass anyways

[clear canyon]

they aint all a single color

[wheat torrent]

ANY MOUSEPAD

[clear canyon]

?

[wheat torrent]

would any mousepad look better on that desk

[long goblet]

you buy a mousepad because it yields better mouse tracking and smoother operation

[clear canyon]

bc it adds more to the desk? wdym

[wheat torrent]

it wouldnt even be aligned properly with the desk since it would have to be rotated

[long goblet]

not because it makes the desk look better.

[clear canyon]

thats a personal choice, I use mine at a 90 degree angle

[clear canyon]

it can tho

[wheat torrent]

how would I have it 90 degree on this desk

I cant feel any difference between mousepad and my desk, its same feeling

[clear canyon]

but it also keeps ur desk/mouse from being scratched up

[wheat torrent]

I got slides on my mouse

[clear canyon]

100% doubt unless ur using a garbo mousepad

[long goblet]

get some monitor stands firstg

[wheat torrent]

what monitor stands

[long goblet]

having your monitors sitting at desk level is ridiculous

[clear canyon]

monitor arms are the goat

[wheat torrent]

the monitor is at eye level

[long goblet]

something that hold your monitors up

[clear canyon]

I have a duel arm

[wheat torrent]

why would I raise my monitor higher than eye level????

[long goblet]

where in the monitor is at eye level?

[clear canyon]

slim said desk level

meaning they are sitting on ur desk taking up room

adding monitor arms adds a ton more room

[wheat torrent]

pinpoint a monitor that is standing on the desk and not on an arm

[clear canyon]

thats such a weird desk

[clear canyon]

use ur flash so we can see

[long goblet]

your desk arrangement is fucking weird.

[wheat torrent]

🤷‍♂️

[long goblet]

wtf is with the monitor off to the right?

[wheat torrent]

thats not a monitor

its a drawing tablet

[long goblet]

i repeat: your desk arrangement is fucking weird.

[wheat torrent]

why

[clear canyon]

also, you said deep desk, thats a corner desk, not a deep desk lol

[long goblet]

i can not envision how the fuck you would use that as a workstation

[wheat torrent]

look at monitor in center, look at secondary monitors on left

like any secondary monitors

[wheat torrent]

it doesn't change the fact that it's deep

[clear canyon]

well look left and right while looking up or down, not just left and right

[clear canyon]

its not a deep desk

[wheat torrent]

when you google deep desks

in the top results you sees corner desks

[long goblet]

google is often wrong

[clear canyon]

0 corner desks

[wheat torrent]

so a deep desk should be rectangular?

[wheat torrent]

those arent even deep desks

[left dove]

get you a desk 30" deep

[clear canyon]

some of them are but I never claimed they was anyways

[left dove]

those are like, writing desks
