[tame trout]

My beloved virtual machines.

[spring latch]

I do quite a bit of compiling. Is the j4125 good for that? hell no! but it can do in a more reasonable time, especially for little projects, I dont want a significantly better CPU for what? 1 or 2 extra minutes free time

[tame trout]

You are correct on that part
Doesn't mean there aren't many windows laptops with better displays

It's just due to optimization for apple software

[spring latch]

I pretty much just work with what I have lmao

[midnight wind]

this isn't even good bait

[glad gulch]

The world where companies don't cut corners

[tame trout]

There literally are

[odd marsh]

Life is too short, buy expensive shit

[midnight wind]

framework cutting the top corners off of their 2.8k display:

(the factory cut it)

[tame trout]

Most companies just provide their employees with MacBooks that are serviced by apple because it's easier and they replace them every 2 years anyway he is speaking correctly

MacBooks just work

[midnight wind]

what laptops do you suggest to buy instead of macbooks though

[glad gulch]

what no

[tame trout]

Doesn't mean there aren't superior windows laptops in every aspect ( discluding effeciency)

[odd marsh]

Intel Lunar Lake stuff

[glad gulch]

Most companies out there fleet out ThinkPads, EliteBooks,

[plain cypress]

Instructions unclear: saving for a house for my long life

[tame trout]

Many are serviced by third party companies you are correct

[spring latch]

I will say one thing, im not an apple guy, but even though i dont really like macOS, macbooks are significantly better than microsoft surfaces for example

[midnight wind]

context is about having better displays

[odd marsh]

Imma start smoking crack in 2 years

[odd marsh]

yeah they have some nicer models with OLEDs, no other screen on a windows laptop will come close tbh

[midnight wind]

buy a norbauer

[tame trout]

I'm never going to stop driving unsafely because adrenaline is my crack

[glad gulch]

That's fucking stupid.

[midnight wind]

who though

[tame trout]

Yamaha r6 my beloved

[midnight wind]

dell?

[odd marsh]

do you mean which brand?

[tame trout]

Cry about it

Even if I hit a car only I die.

[midnight wind]

Yeah or specific laptops if that exists

[spring latch]

HP was good in 2017, my i3 8130U laptop lasted 7 years before the hinge failed, vs apparently 1 year now

[glad gulch]

But you're also hitting someone else moron

[tame trout]

In a motorcycle

[midnight wind]

what do you suggest a graphic designer requiring good color accuracy and rendering buys instead of a macbook

[plain cypress]

https://tenor.com/view/daring-today-are-we-spongebob-squidward-gif-22508233

[glad gulch]

Still hitting someone moron

[odd marsh]

probs something from asus, https://www.ultrabookreview.com/69679-intel-lunar-lake-laptops/ but here is a whole list

[tame trout]

MSI prestige 16 ai Evo ?

Acer swift edge 16 ?

[spring latch]

if they want not mac ill suggest something AMD

[odd marsh]

How quickly will intel respond to my intern applications

[spring latch]

intel would never hire me 🔥

[midnight wind]

That just seems like a list of lunar lake laptops in general

[tame trout]

Yeah their insurance or mine will cover it

[midnight wind]

they want Mac though

this theoretical customer

[spring latch]

ik

[plain cypress]

Apply to Nvidia it's the same thing now

[glad gulch]

YOU FUCKING IDIOT

[odd marsh]

so trueee!!!! (I already did)

[midnight wind]

https://tenor.com/view/this-place-makes-no-sense-natalie-a-minecraft-movie-this-place-is-completely-illogical-emma-myers-gif-13209962073286839006

[spring latch]

then let them buy a mac? mac is amazing for editing, but you have to ask, are they doing shit outside of editing?

[odd marsh]

won't ever apply to AMDeez Nuts though

[tame trout]

No I prefer to drive at 200+ kmph

[glad gulch]

Jesus chrisst

[tame trout]

100+ inner city

[midnight wind]

Yep this is exactly my point

[spring latch]

mac is good for video editing, its just sometime mac is less budget concious

still better than microsoft surface tho 🔥

i dont want co pilot bro

[tame trout]

Microsoft surface is trying to be a MacBook and failing miserably

[midnight wind]

only 600 nits peak brightness its useless 🧌

[spring latch]

i dont want rebranded chatgpt down my throat

[odd marsh]

so yuck

[tame trout]

I don't want anything down my throat

[tame trout]

Except shawerma

[spring latch]

last good MS surface was the Go Laptop, i5 1035G1, AIless

[tame trout]

Give me all the Shawerma

Shawerma my beloved

[glad gulch]

Windows Vista successfully activated using an OEM key yippee

[spring latch]

hackintoshable, no co pilot, still able to install linux

downside is installing a 980 pro SSD immedietly kills it

[glad gulch]

If you kill someone I hope you bear the weight of guilt after

Why am I even bothering, clearly this dude does not care about the safety of anyone around him

[spring latch]

i remember the time i saw minecraft steve on a motorcycle

[glad gulch]

Oh yeah so apparently my CPU is a staggering 1.2 GHz

[balmy tapir]

wonderful lol

[spring latch]

does this guy not atleast resemble jack black?

[balmy tapir]

what cpu??

[spring latch]

my CPU caps at 2.6GHz

Celeron J4125 here

[glad gulch]

C2D L7100

[balmy tapir]

kinda but he doesn't have tattoos i don't think

[spring latch]

my friend has some prototype intel CPU

"Intel Genuine Processor T2500"

idk if its a prototype

[tame trout]

I'm not killing shit

[spring latch]

could just be the name

[tame trout]

Except maybe that one time I ran over a hamster in my car but I was driving the school zone limit and I don't drive recklessly in my car

[tame trout]

Why tf was there a hamster on the street I don't know

[balmy tapir]

i think i have one of those

or maybe it's a T3400?

i lied, T7600

i installed it in my old thinkpad so i could upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit lol

[spring latch]

apparently the M740 and T2500 are pin compatible, I couldve theoreticlly upgraed my inspiron 9300

[balmy tapir]

might not be bios supported though

[spring latch]

ye

[balmy tapir]

finding a bios update for my 15 year old laptop was annoying

[spring latch]

if that laptop of mine hadnt died I wouldve eventually gotten a pentium M 780 for it

[balmy tapir]

why did i need windows xp to install it 😭😭

[spring latch]

the max specs for this laptop wouldve likely been
Pentium M 780, 3GB DDR2 533MHz, NVIDIA 6800 Go

[glad gulch]

If you're in the US, I'm more than happy to send one of my spares your way

Might get a battery for that Twist if it doesn't suffer from the China tax import

[tame trout]

Ddr2 is crazy

I don't think I was born when ddr2 cameout

[spring latch]

as i mentioned its a dead laptop

[glad gulch]

I mean sending you one of mine

[spring latch]

well ddr3 wasnt widely adopted yet in 2005

[spring latch]

i could accept but it depends on when, cuz I would only trust weekends for some obvious reasons

or maybe not obvious

since ive mentioned im 13, giving out my address wouldnt be the greatest idea lmao

[tame trout]

Ddr3 is older than me ????

[spring latch]

ddr3 came out in 2003 iirc

[tame trout]

My first pc had ddr3

[spring latch]

same

[glad gulch]

All up to you, ask your parents even

[spring latch]

dms?

better to talk about there

[tame trout]

It was an office pc I bought and fixed with a 1050ti and 16gb quad channel memory ddr3 1600mhz and a 240gb ssd and a 1tb hard drive and the 512gb that came with it

I7 6700 ( sybau no 67 jokes )

[tame trout]

It was small too

My second bulid was a carbon copy of a bulid Linus did

[tame trout]

In the velka velkase 03

Except it had the 2070

Unfortunately I did end up giving it to my older brother ( I was forced to)

[glad gulch]

The fact you had access to all this still blows me away though

My parents won't even lend me a dime

[tame trout]

The fact you still have a pair of fully functioning parents blows me away

[upbeat blaze]

anyone know anything about fixing drive sizes

[wheat torrent]

🫡

[tame trout]

You mean changing partition sizes

[upbeat blaze]

probaly

[tame trout]

You can look up a toturial on YouTube the heavier the indian accent the easier the toturial will be and more likely for it to work

[upbeat blaze]

im glad im not the only who agrees with the accent

[tame trout]

It's not racist it's just personal experience

[upbeat blaze]

exactly

[glad gulch]

They aren't parents at all

[tame trout]

On the other hand when I call a customer service help line and an indian shows up 9 times out of 10 they won't help me with the problem

[glad gulch]

They tried to force me to sell my car, which I had bought myself with my own money

[glad gulch]

What OS?

[tame trout]

Parents ❌
Deadbeats ✅

[upbeat blaze]

win 11

[glad gulch]

diskmgmt.msc

From there you should be able to adjust your drive partition sizes, among other things

[tame trout]

Click windows key and r then type this

[glad gulch]

Well no, you can also run that in the Start menu

When you search for it, Windows will find the result in the Windows directory

[tame trout]

I'm just used to using run mane

[glad gulch]

It's on earlier Windows (XP and lower) you had to use the Run function since Search back then was... a nightmare, to put it lighhtly

[tame trout]

Our parents were using windows 95 vro

Xp to 95 is like windows 10 to windows XP

Except I would still rock windows XP if it had security updates and optimizations

I knew people in 2017-2018 rockin xp

[glad gulch]

And? I taught myself to use those older versions.

(Kinda why I own laptops with different Windows installs)

At some point I learned to make macOS in a VM on a Windows laptop

[tame trout]

Unfortunately I use modern application and games and other shit that doesn't run on these older versions

And I'm talking about dailying it

I do experiment in virtual machines

[glad gulch]

And? I could literally fire up my T60 and do what I need to do.

Supermium works well on it, and the battery is a new aftermarket so it gets a staggering 5 hours

I am literally using Discord on Windows 8.1

[tame trout]

That's not xp

And also fuckass windows version

I hate 8.1

[glad gulch]

Cry about it.

[glad gulch]

And? If I wanted to, I could probably find ways to get what I need on WinXP.

Whether that be copying from another machine, alternate apps, or just bullshitting installers (this is kind of the funny way to go about it since sometimes apps WILL run, they just need to be convinced it's newer)

[tame trout]

You can't do that for everything

Especially since I use something called m*dern hardware

[glad gulch]

I don't need everything

[upbeat blaze]

might be cooked

[glad gulch]

Why are you censoring modern?

[upbeat blaze]

i cant allocate shit

[tame trout]

Not really

[glad gulch]

What in the shit~

[upbeat blaze]

lowkey like confused

[glad gulch]

if you're trying to extend one partition, you gotta move the others around to make it happy, cause you can't just associate one random chunk with another

And if it's something other than what Windows likes, it won't have a single clue how to handle it.

[upbeat blaze]

yea i cant figure out how to move it

[glad gulch]

Right click > something left or something right

[tame trout]

Yeah true that queking ( I don't know your gender)

[glad gulch]

If you're trying to edit the drive with the red that's a dynamic drive and can't be edited

[glad gulch]

What in the shit do you mean by "queking"

Dude, I literally mentioned I was a woman earlier.

[tame trout]

Mb queen

[upbeat blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-smile-cat-smile-cute-kitty-gif-5058119688631425935

[upbeat blaze]

can i like change it back from being dynamic

i accidently did that

wait i think i dids it

getting somewhere

[glad gulch]

So now figure out what partition you wanna make bigger and stick it at the end of the drive

[tame trout]

That's what she said

[glad gulch]

That doesn't even work as a joke in that sense.

[tame trout]

It is if your autistic enough

[upbeat blaze]

i got like one drive fully empty and used the cloning software and that somehow worked

[glad gulch]

I am on the spectrum, and it still makes no sense.

[glad gulch]

Now let's pray you didn't fuck up the rest of your things

[tame trout]

Maybe I have more tisms than you

[upbeat blaze]

im about to try and clone my windows onto that 1tb drive

wish me luck ( how i got in this situation)

[swift moss]

was it so hard to include a footprint

if they literally modelled the pads

[zinc widget]

I like this techwoven case but it doesn’t work with some of my usb c cables UGHHHH

[zinc widget]

No semiconductor provider provides a footprint without being asked

[hushed tapir]

Just bought this monitor today. Was this a good buy? So far I’m happy with it. Coming from a cheap $150 1080p lg monitor https://www.bestbuy.com/product/alienware-aw3425dw-34-tft-qd-oled-curved-wqhd-240hz-0-03ms-freesync-gaming-monitor-with-hdr-hdmi-displayport-black/J3K4L63R43

[swift moss]

not true at all

obviusly your statement is true, but there is always a demand or ask

[zinc widget]

Oh, there’s a demand semiconductor merchants just don’t care

They want their $.10, and they want you to pay six dollar shipping on it separately

[swift moss]

pretty sure I can buy from ti and have them bundle shipping just saying

[zinc widget]

Yeah, but you’ve gotta buy a bunch of stuff from them.

[swift moss]

i can buy 2 seperate chips with 1moq and they'll ship in 1 package

[zinc widget]

It’s gonna be a nice day when someone like Digikey figures out that you can mail half the stuff you buy from them in just a regular envelope with just a no feed sticker on it, and it literally costs the price of a stamp to ship

[swift moss]

who said anything about digikey? they just distributors

[zinc widget]

I’m just mindlessly venting about how annoying it is to get components.

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[swift moss]

idk my massive lcsc order costed around 10usd to ship

and it came in a 40x30x10 box (cm)

[zinc widget]

If only they took prime shipping

Lowkey an Amazon component store might be great.

Someone from Amazon should get on that. Convert one of their warehouses.

[latent pasture]

TR couldnt just sit when id cooling a620 undercut them by literally $1 (29 vs 30) they had to 1down that too

Well it's not a display more like a digital number reader

But I love it

[wheat torrent]

Why the 4090 can do only 2x framegen

[tame trout]

Nvidia a lil bitch

[wheat torrent]

Interesting

I wonder if people could reverse engineer dlss4 on 4000 cards, I know loseless scaling exists

[sinful cobalt]

you can do a pseudo mfg with smooth motion

[wheat torrent]

What's that

Interesting

Its just that easy to enable it in nvidia panel?

[sinful cobalt]

nvidia app

its driver based fg

[wheat torrent]

Mixed opinions

Its wild that you can run older triple a games on mobile

This is an android phone running on ultra mode

[azure topaz]

stop

dlss4 is not incompatible with past RTX cards

DLSS MFG is

DLSS4 works on an rtx 2050

[latent pasture]

dlss4 refers to a bunch of things (shit name)
the transformer model of upscaling works with turing

[glad gulch]

I don't even use a case

[wheat torrent]

I was searching and this post said that it doesn't have mfg x4 because lack of DLSS4 my bad og

[sudden raven]

I overclocked my CPU the other day

[wheat torrent]

What's the performance increase

[sinful cobalt]

0.2%

[verbal prawn]

question

you a student or in the miltary?

[ivory mountain]

when a mf say shit so stupid u just cry

[wheat torrent]

My bad once again...

[thorny saddle]

4090 is weak 🙁

[limpid dune]

4090 is a budget GPU tbh

[thorny saddle]

at this point yeah

[limpid dune]

the RX6600 is a bigger number, now THAT's a real GPU

wait mb, I forgot that AMD fans are all neanderthals and every single influencer is bribed

[thorny saddle]

thats a little much

[wheat torrent]

[thorny saddle]

that is hilarious

[wheat torrent]

I'm surprised the 7900 XTX is in there

[clear canyon]

well its relevent bc its still a good card

[thorny saddle]

its fine

[wheat torrent]

I wanted to get the 7900 XTX

[thorny saddle]

I bought one

[wheat torrent]

What for

[thorny saddle]

to try it out

[wheat torrent]

Rich

[thorny saddle]

pft

[wheat torrent]

Buying GPU just to try

[thorny saddle]

prob the cheapest GPU I've bought

[wheat torrent]

Its like 900 bucks

Out here

[thorny saddle]

yeah - the one I got was more, it was the asrock taichi OC

[wheat torrent]

Nvm I missed

Its 1560 USD out here

[thorny saddle]

mine was like 1170 or something

i think

[wheat torrent]

It looks like a badass card

[thorny saddle]

it was alright - played COD great, other titles it was hit or miss

I BIOS modded it and OC'd it, it put out a shit ton of heat

[wheat torrent]

But it underperformed in the softwares I needed compared to nvidia alternatives

[thorny saddle]

yeah

I just had it in my 2nd PC to mess with, I ended up selling it for a 4080 Super and then got a 4090

[wheat torrent]

Damn

What are you rocking rn

[sinful cobalt]

Multiple 5090s

His main rig rn is a 5060Ti tho

[thorny saddle]

lol i should remove the 5060 Ti thing

[wheat torrent]

[thorny saddle]

i have a bunch of 5090s

you can bundle em up like bananas

what thermal paste do you guys recommend?

[supple gull]

🥜

[dusty mortar]

[dusty mortar]

Hellmans mayo

[latent pasture]

anything as long as its not some nobrand 2 pints for $1 paste should be fine

[sinful cobalt]

thermal adhesive>

[latent pasture]

test of 90 thermal pastes and its 3 celsius difference from like the top 1 to 70

[sinful cobalt]

burger king ranch sauce

[hollow creek]

burger king seem to be quite conductive

[azure topaz]

hy510 my goat

its not second to toothpaaste or ranc

[stray portal]

Who even tested this

blud ran out of thermal paste but not out of ranch

[sinful cobalt]

pulling out the ranch is faster than reloading the paste

[stray portal]

how did it not spread

[fallen sky]

God damn dead pixel

[stray portal]

all over the motherboard

[fallen sky]

Whatever that is

Wait no aren’t they black

[empty quartz]

Stuck pixel is the name iirc

[fallen sky]

I’m trying out JScreenFix

Let’s see if this works or not

[sonic stream]

uh if i want to use my laptop as a second monitor i just plug the hdmi from my laptop to my gpu right? cause theres like multiple of those ports back there

nvm there is not but 1 hdmi port

[fallen sky]

ts did not do anythig

[normal maple]

For cable management in an sff case do you recommend Velcro cable ties or zip ties?

[pale flint]

doesnt expensive thermal pastes just last longer than cheaper one?

[silk sun]

does #1106613567966429224 also do laptop recommendations?

[rigid fjord]

it can do, yes

[rigid fjord]

velcro always,

[rigid fjord]

nope, it doesn't work like that, you have to use a 3rd party software for it

hdmi on a laptop like hdmi on a gpu, are both outputs

[high elm]

would it be illegal for me to sell a pc that i know is dead

it wont be as long as i market it as “for parts only”/ sell as is right

cuz i have an array of dead components that are quite worth if working

[limber ermine]

Honestly can someone more knowledgeable explain why Huawei global phone do not have 5g

[rigid fjord]

go for the 5070

[sonic stream]

what does my motherboard support an m.2 ssd up to? (like read and write speed & pcle 4.0 or 5.0)

[exotic valley]

huge improvements guys

yesterday it reaches above 110 degrees running prime 95 and shuts off my PC

[abstract wigeon]

are you using a cooler??

[exotic valley]

today after replacing a small cooler fan with a delta server fan, the maximum temp it reaches is only 106 degrees

[wooden gust]

If you haven’t already ordered it, I would personally go with a different monitor

[exotic valley]

the caveat is that, the delta fan spins at 3600 RPM

so, your milage may vary. you may find the fan noise quite disturbing

however i really appreciate the good result and helps from you guys

successfully dropped my cpu temp from 110C+ to only 106C

[true stirrup]

Check your motherboard manual
But it should support PCIe 4

[distant frigate]

iPhone 17 Pro gaming test and thermals from Dame Tech

[exotic valley]

yeh prob one of the best ones on earth

[distant frigate]

The vapor chamber is clearly helping

[exotic valley]

the stock cooler

[high elm]

what ambient is your room wtf

[exotic valley]

i live in beijing, China. its about 20 degrees here

[high elm]

tbf when i was on AM4 i had the fancier rgb stock cooler

[high elm]

try undervolt ig

[exotic valley]

actually it wasn't the stock cooler, but an upgraded one. i have set the voltage at 1.45V

so that might be the reason

[high elm]

yea why 1.45

[exotic valley]

silicon degredation

[high elm]

i could do 4.65ghz on my 3600 at 1.37 or smt like that 95 degrees

[exotic valley]

it couldn't run stable at 4.1Ghz when i set the voltage at 1.4V

[high elm]

no way its that bad

wtf 💀

[exotic valley]

it wouldn't pass the prime95 tests

[high elm]

whats your load line calibration?

[high elm]

prime95 =/= daily use

[exotic valley]

whats load line calibration?

[high elm]

nvm you prolly didnt touch it

[exotic valley]

i wanna make sure my system runs extra stable as this is the main station i play video games with my girlfriend

nothing should go wrong

[high elm]

i recommend just selling the cpu

[exotic valley]

yeh im considering upgrading as well to 5800x

[high elm]

then getting another 3600 for the same price

you loose nothing and earn something

ive done that with my 13900k shit bin

[exotic valley]

im not sure whether its the silicone degradation or an extremely unlucky silicone lottery

or whether im using a faulty b450

[exotic valley]

yeh, thx for the suggestion

[high elm]

3600 non x boost clock == 4.2

[exotic valley]

i would prob upgrade to a better CPU, cuz the 3600x is kinda bottlenecking my 4070ti super

[high elm]

yea

[exotic valley]

anyways, 106C is a good result

[high elm]

just get a 2nd hand 5000 series

theyre cheap rn

[exotic valley]

yeh, 5800x sells around $80 in my area

and i can sell my 3600x at $40

[strong panther]

im looking for a mic can someone help

cheap fr

not a headset mic, an actual one

[exotic valley]

i have this one, quite good

[strong panther]

that looks kinda big

[exotic valley]

i bought the same model here in china for $10

i dunno why they sell it so expensively overseas

[strong panther]

im looking for one I can transport tbh

[exotic valley]

however a wonderful mic

[rigid fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoQu3XXIayc

[strong panther]

i cant do usb c

[exotic valley]

prob a mic like this with a stand then

[strong panther]

im looking for aux tbh

[high elm]

does china offer tax refunds for tourists?

[strong panther]

yh thats much better

[rigid fjord]

time to look at getting a dac then

[exotic valley]

i dunno, im not a tourist so im not really sure about the policy

[strong panther]

im good

“fifine usb microphone”

[fallow rune]

Looking to do some aesthetics on my PC, going with a new montech XR case and Asia horse fans, trying to figure out the best air flow without buying 9 fans, for a 3070ti and 5600x 2 intake and 1 exhaust should be fine right?

[limpid dune]

your silicon is degrading BECAUSE IT'S AT 1.45V BRO

[strong panther]

can I plug in a usb mic into my ps5?

[limpid dune]

Zen 2 can do up to 1.47 maaaaybe if the die is cold...? but it's generally given that Zen 2 starts to die at 1.35V under alcore

[exotic valley]

it used to be around 1.3V

[craggy cove]

very much okay

[fallow rune]

If I buy the 3 pack of reverse fans can I use the 3rd fan on my tower cooler? The fans are rated for 1800rpm and the deep cools fan is 1850

[strong panther]

this mic is good then?

[rigid fjord]

that's fuckign stupid dude, on zen 2 let alone zen3 there's no safe static voltages, you should set PBO up properly

[wheat torrent]

@rigid fjord

Yk we were talking about plywood and whatnot

[rigid fjord]

yeah

[wheat torrent]

This is what I'm going to do instead, much simpler

And cover it with a dust filter mesh

[brave brook]

how you don't want to have wifi or BT inside /s

[rigid fjord]

definitely has a fuck ton more airflow around it

[brave brook]

(me seeing a farraday cage 😄 )

[wheat torrent]

This mesh filter shouldn't block airflow much right?

I doubt I'll need extra fans

[rigid fjord]

very minimal, though a couple extra fans would be useful

[wheat torrent]

It wouldn't be a problem

I regret not buying this type of filter

This one should be like 100 times more effective at blocking dust

I think, it looks like it us more dense to me

But I think at same time it would be blocking even more airflow

[rigid fjord]

more effective against dust, but needs to be used with fans in conjunction

[wheat torrent]

Much easier to mold in the inside of the cage

[rigid fjord]

this kind of loose weave foam is better for active filteration

[hushed tapir]

they use the same panel so get whatever brand you want or whichever is cheaper. or if you want the displayport alt mode then go with the msi

[wheat torrent]

But I'm not gonna wait to deliver again I'll just do it

[rigid fjord]

and generally goes behind any mesh already there

[brave brook]

your other option is pantyhose as fan filter (completely serious)

[rigid fjord]

going real old school here

pantyhoses used to be used for some older cars as a means of air filter

[wheat torrent]

I mean this should be just fine

My only concern is that I won't be able to bend it perfectly

[kindred talon]

Is this normal, everything has been freezing for me it’s been going to 100% when I have nothing open and it just goes crazy when I open anything small

Before it never had this problem it used to work really fast and handle many things

[wheat torrent]

Maybe there's a update?

[kindred talon]

Windows update or disk ?

[wheat torrent]

Windows

[kindred talon]

I’ll check rn

[wheat torrent]

Also is the health status okay?

[kindred talon]

Yes I checked

[wheat torrent]

Crystaldiskinfo?

[kindred talon]

I used a command in powershell and cmd
Prompt to check disk health both said OK

[lapis talon]

Wowies

Is that on idle

[rigid fjord]

for this drive, yes it can be normal, as it depends on whats being done

[kindred talon]

Yeah

[lapis talon]

it's on idle fr?

Are you sure you're not downloading or transferring anything

[rigid fjord]

use crystal disk info instead#

[ebon marlin]

@rigid fjord Tempted to sell my 5800x3d kit to buy this

[kindred talon]

It’s so weird on idle it went to 100% for a good 5 mins then went back down to 0% then I opened chrome and instantly went to 100%

[kindred talon]

Absolutely nothing

[kindred talon]

Okay

[rigid fjord]

get a bd790i instead

[kindred talon]

This is for all
Apps not chrome only, I can’t even update my nvidia drivers anymore

Says there an error

[ebon marlin]

Meh too expensive I'm trying to see if I can get this for around 200-250

Also some BD790i boards have issues

[rigid fjord]

https://www.minisforum.uk/products/bd790i-x3d-motherboard?srsltid=AfmBOoqPNjdCP0pcoBXx-wMpYY8ffngT22sVvhQusGGr7LZzZGaecTz6

[rigid fjord]

it has the better cpu

[ebon marlin]

For double the price

[kindred talon]

What did I do guys

[ebon marlin]

3d cache isn't really that important as the 7945hx by default already has alot of L3 cache

64mb vs the 100mb~ on the 5800x3d

[rigid fjord]

the issue is dual ccd/ccx still

[ebon marlin]

I don't think base 7945HX has that issue

Isn't it only Ryzen 9 X3D's

[rigid fjord]

it's a 7950x but for laptops dude

[ebon marlin]

Does the 7950x have dual ccd/ccx

[rigid fjord]

yes

[ebon marlin]

Ay caramba

[rigid fjord]

8c 16t + 8c 16t

[lapis talon]

You might be cooked

[ebon marlin]

But wasn't the dual ccd a problem only for x3d cpus

[kindred talon]

Me or my disk 🥺

[lapis talon]

Turn on XMP pls

[rigid fjord]

no, it's an issue for non x3d cpu's if you plan to game still

[lapis talon]

Both

[kindred talon]

Uhhhhh

What does ts do

[lapis talon]

You're on 2133 MT/s

How much speed does your RAM sticks support

[kindred talon]

It’s xpg ddr4 idk

[lapis talon]

Did you not check when buying it...

[kindred talon]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[lapis talon]

Anyways about the SSD

[rigid fjord]

the only 6c 12t or 8c 16t mobile cpus worth touching are the 7640/8640/8645 and 7840/7940/8840/8845 cpu'sd

[lapis talon]

I had a HDD which would boost up to 100% on start up (secondary storage device, my primary was a SSD) and that HDD died

[ebon marlin]

Hm

The person is also selling a 7745hx but not really interested at that

[lapis talon]

Which was why the usage was at 100% and apparently the reason why windows took so long to boot

[kindred talon]

Oh is it a bad thing that my windows is also starting to take ages to boot up?..

[rigid fjord]

not worth touching over a 7840hs

7745hx = 8c 16t mobile cpu running at 45w+ but with a 610m/710m as igpu

[ebon marlin]

Ay caramba only 0.9% perf difference

[rigid fjord]

it's lost performance due to dual ccd/ccx, incurs stuttering as a game swaps between cores

the scheduler should be better but still happens

[ebon marlin]

How the hell is 7950x performing better than the 9950x

Makes no sense

[kindred talon]

@lapis talon

[brave brook]

1440p gaming is not really CPU bound

[rigid fjord]

it doesn't tbh, the 9950x performs way better for production work, but gaming wise they're close

[kindred onyx]

You should install Linux 💀

[rigid fjord]

sadly it's only shown for 1080p, but still though

the x3d version though

[stray portal]

Hi guys so I can get a 16e for 3250 RON and a 15 for 3500 RON which one should I get

Basically 50 euro difference

[high elm]

do you need the features that make X better than Y?

[stray portal]

it's a 50 euro difference and I don't know if I should just get 15 the only difference i see is the extra camera and maybe notch but I don't mind the notch

[cosmic lance]

is mSata outdated?

[stray portal]

that's like half a month of work for me so idk

[high elm]

honestly get the cheaper one

if its gonna be half a months work

[stray portal]

Yeah that seems right

What about the camera tho is the single camera as good as the one on the 15

Tho 16e has newer features so ig it's more worth it

[high elm]

are you gonna need it?

cuz if your intention is to just take pictures

16e is enough

[stray portal]

ya i just wanna take pictures for memories but also want it to have decent quality (but I think 16e is enough)

[high elm]

yep its enough

[kindred onyx]

Apple has too much processing.

It often looks unnatural.

S25 edge destroys iphone air

[kindred onyx]

https://tenor.com/view/youre-your-gif-22328611

[brave brook]

https://edition.cnn.com/cnn-underscored/reviews/iphone-air

In my everyday testing, I managed to get about 11 hours of battery life while using the iPhone Air as my main phone. This included everything from phone calls to photography to streaming music to a lot of scrolling online. While that was OK on the day I started off at noon and ended at 11:08 p.m., it wasn’t great on the workday where the iPhone Air lasted from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

[kindred onyx]

okay that's useful

[high elm]

theyre meant to show a difference between fixed tests

to show the % diff

[stuck fiber]

iPhone air make a good Xmas gift for your mum

that's really the market for it

[kindred onyx]

Mrwhoosetheboss in his battery test (vid was released less than 20 min ago) the iPhone Air got 7h 18m

[high elm]

i released a video 5 mins ago 17 air got 20 mins but it was running cyberpunk it sucks!11!!1!!! battery is horrible!11!1!!1

see how stupid that sounds

[ebon marlin]

That's ass

[kindred onyx]

That wasn't even close to what I said.

Mrwhosetheboss makes an anual battery test with the iPhones where he does some mixed usage.

[high elm]

and theyre horribly misleading

[gleaming rose]

I just passed a "beauty supply & vape store"
wtf is wrong with this country

[ebon marlin]

Wonder when GSMarena will do battery tests on the Air and other 17 models

[gleaming rose]

those guys are good

[ebon marlin]

Yeah

One interesting thing about the Air is that it's battery pack accessory has the same exact battery as the Air itself

https://youtu.be/lkr58Sa2GeY?si=Hh_nao-XpX1AWQSv

[gleaming rose]

repair parts

[ebon marlin]

Wonder if you could put an Air battery in it when it dies

[gleaming rose]

I think it makes more sense to go the other way around but ok

[ebon marlin]

Both ways

But the thing is the battery pack is around 100 bucks while the Air's battery will be around 10 bucks for a reputable 3rd party one

[ashen hearth]

yea then nvidia is preferred

[ashen hearth]

[cosmic idol]

Does your projector not have 4 point keystone or whatever it’s called

[exotic valley]

you did what to the cat cage

i wanna replace all of my regular PC fans with delta super high speed server fans

they move much larger quantity of airs while creating a sound thats soothing to the ear

we call it white noise

really helped me focusing on the tasks i do

those finger cutters are not only cheaper but better in terms of performance

i can finally pass prime95 at 1.45V thanks to those delta server fans

linus really should drop their affiliation with noctua and start only using delta server fans

cost performance wise

nobody nowadays can afford overpriced noctua fans anyways

delta fans are more linus tech tips ways of doing things

the junkier way

ads here? seriously

and no comment about the delta fan?

currently spins at 3500 RPM right now

btw a 12 milimeter delta fan (ranging from different RPMs) only costs 1 american freedom dollar with shipping and taxes included

4 pins (customizable to 3 pins or 2 pins)

i think its called redmi book

not sure whether its available outside of maindland China

[exotic cape]

can someone explain to me why puting my pc to sleep disables a hard drive?

[exotic valley]

maybe reinstall your windows 11 or try a new harddrive

[exotic cape]

w10

[exotic valley]

i dunno much about windows 10. its a discontinued operating system

[rose stream]

Exactly. Instead, they should advertise Arctic more because those are the kinds of fans we could afford.

will this be okay to use on my pc?

[quiet light]

so you are telling me. that this car has more than 2horses inside?

[sinful cobalt]

just get a brush and brush it into the vaccum suction

[tame trout]

I love egypt

[tame trout]

I went to the pcmall downtown

Returned the motherboard and ram

Got a new motherboard and ram

Came back home

All in the span of 90 minutes

[native karma]

Please don't use this on your PC

Don't use ANY vacuum or air duster

[quiet light]

should i use like a container of compressed air or something?
what should i do/use

[tame trout]

Bullshit

Just stick something in the fans to make them not spin

And don't use it on the motherboard

And you want to disassemble the cooler anyway to clean it

[native karma]

I'm not worried about that. Im worried about static charge building up and frying shit

[tame trout]

Yeah thats very rare but what does happen is when alot of idiots leave the fans to spin the fans ( motors or reverse alternators generate electricity

When you give electricity to a motor it spins

When you move a motor it spins

[native karma]

i love frying motherboards by supplying voltage in places it shouldn't accept it!

[tame trout]

The static charge is negligible but still don't use it on the motherboard because it's very sensitive

[quiet light]

tech shops charge ~40 bucks and all they did was use a leaf blower at the back at the shop so thats why im dong it myself

[quiet light]

im not going that deep just surface ish level dust yk

[tame trout]

Stick something in each fan while your cleaning it

Like I usually stick an eraser and it stops the fan from moving it

[quiet light]

yeah because of static
that much im aware of but idk about the rest

i dont have that many fans anyway

[tame trout]

Not static

Not because of static electricity

Because moving fans produce electricity

That's how 90% of the worlds electricity gets produced

[quiet light]

ooh mb

[tame trout]

And also why you shouldn't let the fans move.

[tame trout]

And the motherboard just use a dry microfiber towel

[tame trout]

And make sure to be gentle

[solar violet]

I havent used my desktop in 6 months and probably wont be able to use it for another 6

I wonder if I should have just sold it

It is not strong enough for most future games I think

Rx 5700 xt + i5 10400 f

Monitor is great I dont think I ever will need better

165hz 28" 2k

[quiet light]

should just sell it and get a better one
you'll have to replace Motherboard and PSU + ram to upgrade so just sell it

[tame trout]

Sell it

[tame trout]

5700xt is a 1080p caed

[solar violet]

Everything in 2k worked

[cosmic idol]

Well technically not ram depending on how far you upgrade

[solar violet]

It is not 1080p capped

[brave brook]

ASRock ? https://www.techpowerup.com/341166/asrock-launches-radeon-rx-7700-challenger-graphics-cards-with-16-gb-memory

yeah if he wants to upgrade it
he'll have to replacc e the psu

[cosmic idol]

Also yeah sell the rig lol

[solar violet]

Worked ✅
Worked well ❌

[quiet light]

worked well ❌

[cosmic idol]

[solar violet]

32gb ram

[quiet light]

point proven.

[brave brook]

why is AMD launching a new GPU in 7000 series in 2025 ? 😄

[solar violet]

It wasnt crazy build I did it in 2020

But it worked for what I wanted

[quiet light]

decent amount but if you want to upgrade your cpu to lets say am5
you need to get ddr5 ram
and if you want a better gpu get a better PSU too

[cosmic idol]

Even tho your point was proven
Better to not give advice if they haven’t even mentioned it LOL
That one was a good guess tho

[solar violet]

But yeah ram everything is now new

[quiet light]

so not worth it just sell it for what it is

[solar violet]

Not point in upgrading

[tame trout]

Yes

[cosmic idol]

I agree with this one

Better to not give advice if they haven’t even mentioned it LOL
true...

[tame trout]

Is it good for 7900x3d I plan to auto overclock it

[solar violet]

What was the site for building pc?

[quiet light]

128gb is crazy 😭

[tame trout]

In Ryzen master

[distant frigate]

DOCSIS 4.0 modems are supposedly gonna support WiFi 7 and 10 gig Ethernet

[solar violet]

I had part list there

[quiet light]

pcpartpicker

[cosmic idol]

Pc part picker

[quiet light]

http://pcpartpicker.com/

[tame trout]

If the 5900x3d was released I would recommend it

[distant frigate]

Think this will be my next modem although it won’t be for coax since I have fiber

The ONT is technically the modem part even though it’s really not

[gloomy sleet]

who even has 10gig ethernet

[tame trout]

Get a 5800x3d unless you desperately need the cores

[tame trout]

I have 0.2 gig and my internet is considered one of the fastest in my country

[solar violet]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bKr2db

[distant frigate]

I could get 2.5 gig symmetrical internet lol. Don’t know when my ISP will even offer 10 gig

I doubt DOCSIS 4.0 can support 10 gig to a subscriber

[solar violet]

How much could it go for?

[rigid fjord]

300-350 tbh

[solar violet]

Yeah I am checking gpu alone is like 150

This seems about right

But then I wonder if it is even worth selling for such price

[gloomy sleet]

im still wating for fibre here

i have to wait until 2027

there is literally no way to run fibre to my house until 2027

[latent gull]

Well that’s your problem, your waiting for fibre, they’re running fiber

[gloomy sleet]

not really a me problem

its just a bad service problem

[rigid fjord]

me who could get fibre in less than a weeks time

[gloomy sleet]

i am absolutely willing to pay for fibre ot be run

[gloomy sleet]

how?

dont you live in a forest in scotland somewhere

[distant frigate]

Its a lot easier to do 10 gig on fiber than it is to do on coax lol

[gloomy sleet]

or are you that cornwall guy

[latent gull]

We depend on the utility companies to run the fiber so there’s a lead time of like 3-5 weeks here :p

[distant frigate]

There’s DOCSIS 5.0 which can do 25 Gbps but I’m like why

Idk if cable operators will even do that. It’s gonna be even more expensive than DOCSIS 4.0

[rigid fjord]

the framework for it has already been layed out on the telephone poles, and i wish i was in the woodlands of scotland, but i'm in the south

[gloomy sleet]

as someone who has lived in the scottish forests in a tent for 3 months no you dont

[rigid fjord]

yes i do

quite easily could live in a small cabin up there by myself

little log cabin's are cheap to get hold of and last a long time

[gloomy sleet]

how does one survive with the closest cex being 50 miles away

[rigid fjord]

with ease

these build like the old lincoln logs toy that kids used to be able to play with

better pic of it

[gloomy sleet]

living in there must be terrible

imagine how cold itll get

how do you get water electricity and gas??

[rigid fjord]

funny thing, it wouldn't, and you can use a little log burner to heat the whole thing up

water can either be obtained via a well, or stream/brook and filtered, or you can get it hauled in via ibc tote

there's also rain catchment available

[gloomy sleet]

you couldnt survive a month in a house in the middle of scotland without water electricity and gas

[rigid fjord]

you can tbh

the gas and electric are the only things you don't need for survival

[gloomy sleet]

but how will you complain on discord

[rigid fjord]

1000l ibc totes, easily fillable with the rainfall, and condensation collection via fog

[gloomy sleet]

now how do you transport that or order it

[rigid fjord]

ever heard of wind and solar energy ?

[gloomy sleet]

also considering you wouldnt have a home address

[brave brook]

it ws 5950x, then it 'died', so i downgraded that system back to 128GB RAM. Also it was originally 64+64GB in two systems, then i consolidated the RAM modules into one system

[gloomy sleet]

how would one use solar energy in a place that gets sun every 3 months

[rigid fjord]

i've looked into a fair bit of this, and there's shipping companies that will use grid co-ordinates to drop things off without the need for a full address, gps's can do it straight off co-ordinates as it would address's

[gloomy sleet]

so how do you get mail

[rigid fjord]

using a wind genny, alongside solar, and tbf, there's other ways

[brave brook]

in my country you can get mail to the nearest city hall. Mostly meant for homeless tho who don't have permanent address

[rigid fjord]

i haven't had mail in a long time despite being at my parents, you can also get a P.O box instead

[gloomy sleet]

the royal mail barely functions if you do have a home address let alone not having one

[rigid fjord]

8x 100w solar panels = 800wh at peak times, and as low as 100w at low light levels

for a 13' x 16' cabin that's barely half 1 side of the roof

[gloomy sleet]

irrelevant but wh is a very silly measurement

[rigid fjord]

nope, wh/Wh = what hours, used in measuring how many watts is being produced an hour

[pale flint]

how is wh silly measurement

[rigid fjord]

and tbf, at peak hours time, 4x 800w = 3.2Kw produced

[gloomy sleet]

watt is also a time based measurement though

a watt isnt a physical thing

[brave brook]

no ? Watt is literally voltage * current. There is no time involved

[pale flint]

how do you measure electricity physically

[glad gulch]

We'ere banned from having fiber up here

Same with cell towers, or even hardline embedded wiring

Cons of being in a national park, I guess.

[pale flint]

sorry my math level isnt that good

[glad gulch]

So then what's 1 lb/ft equal to?

[gloomy sleet]

idk

why would anyone use lb/ft anyway

[glad gulch]

I'm American, what's your excuse?

[rigid fjord]

it's a torque measurement idiot

[glad gulch]

Inches, feet, miles, and lb/ft. For small things though, I use cm and mm

[gloomy sleet]

i dont use lb/ft

[rigid fjord]

you do, but as newton meters

[glad gulch]

Except for gun calibers, if it's a .50 cal I say that instesad of 12.7mm

[green tendon]

hi, does win7 support Kaby Lake R cpus?

[rigid fjord]

and you claim to have worked as a mechanic

[glad gulch]

Yesn't
Graphics? No.
CPU? Absolutely.

The main limit is UEFI support with Windows 7

[rigid fjord]

ignore this dude

[glad gulch]

Why?
I literally tried to install Windows 7 on an i7-8550U, I have experience

[green tendon]

for my old laptop with uhd 620

[gloomy sleet]

tf he do

[green tendon]

i'm getting the blue screen

[glad gulch]

Apparently I exist, so that pisses him off

[gloomy sleet]

justice for ahmed

[green tendon]

mine is i7 8650u

[glad gulch]

Yeah, it's probably unhappy about a certain driver.

[rigid fjord]

i do miss using this at times, but more for my air rifle

[gloomy sleet]

he said one message and rauko immediately said to ignore him

[glad gulch]

Might have to turn on Legacy mode in the BIOS @green tendon (Or UEFI-CSM)

[glad gulch]

Expected, to be honest.

[rigid fjord]

they come up with random questions, then disappear quickly only to come back and troll a bit later

[glad gulch]

Me!?

I literally joined less than 12 hours ago, what?

[rigid fjord]

ahmed

[glad gulch]

And? If someone asks for help, I'll help.

[green tendon]

this is what the server for

not ignoring someone

[glad gulch]

No one in my entire life has ever bothered to listen or help me, so I figured I might as well help those who need it.

[rigid fjord]

this channel isn't for tech support, that's #1027757333117415424

[glad gulch]

I mean that's fair enough, telling someone to use the right channel

But telling other people to straight up ignore someone for no legitimate reason other than you not liking their behavior is another thing

[green tendon]

true

[rigid fjord]

you're barely here when ahmed turns up, and this is probably the first time you've noticed them

[glad gulch]

@green tendon If you want my help, make a post in #1027757333117415424 before Rauko has a brain aneurysm from me being nice

[green tendon]

ok

[iron glen]

This server is full of Anton Egos, no nice here. Just brutal honest criticism

[glad gulch]

So I don't belong then, huh?
Shit.

[iron glen]

Wsp rauko

[rigid fjord]

sup

[iron glen]

If you feel like it

[glad gulch]

It took me actual brainpower to figure out what wsp meant

[rigid fjord]

i think brownie be joking with you

[glad gulch]

I think I am a joke

[iron glen]

Its really hard to understand sarcasm, especially in text

[pale flint]

i take everything as a joke

[iron glen]

Everything is a joke

[glad gulch]

I mean, given this is the LTT server AND a major tech server, it would make sense that it has a high concentration of egos

[pale flint]

i love when people get triggered trying to offend me because i dont take them seriously

[pale flint]

thanks you very much for the compliment

[glad gulch]

You're welcome.

[pale flint]

hows your day

[glad gulch]

So-so. Reinstalling Windows Vista again because the SP1 and SP2 updates made it shit itself. so I figured I might as well jump ahead and just install Vista SP2

[pale flint]

why do you need windows vista

[glad gulch]

ThinkPad X300 originally came with it

Albeit x86 instead of x64

[pale flint]

crazy

[rigid fjord]

vista being known as vistaster for one of it's many reasons there

[glad gulch]

?

[rigid fjord]

vista shitting itself over an update, despite being EoL'd

kinda describes windows in general though

[glad gulch]

I made the mistake of starting with an OE release disc rather than SP2 disc

[iron glen]

Rauko you ever made Onion jam or whatever its called before?

[rigid fjord]

onion marmalade, and nope

[iron glen]

Oh, alr

I think i had it on too high heat

[distant frigate]

YOOO WHAT @iron glen

[iron glen]

They're kinda burnt

[distant frigate]

Just got this today LMAO

[brave brook]

People hating on Vista will never stop being amazing to me. Vista had only two major issues:

1. it tried to be too secure with the UAC prompts, which could have been solved over time, if people gave Vista more chance.
2. people tried to run it on prehistoric hardware and then said it is slow

[iron glen]

Word?

[distant frigate]

I literally got this less than a week ago

[glad gulch]

Apparently this machine qualifies for Vista basic
Probably explains why it was an x86 version at release

[iron glen]

I got a legendary book of cards a few days ago

[distant frigate]

I think I’m lucky lol

[green tendon]

this what exactly happens

[brave brook]

exactly the type of prehistoric hardware one should have not run Vista on

[iron glen]

I have a hunch you might be xd

[brave brook]

"qualifies for Vista Basic" => was not enough for Vista actually

[rigid fjord]

pic of red onion marmalade from google, and if burnt yeah, either to high or to long

[glad gulch]

it's probably corrupted or needing CSM, cause Windows 7 uses two different VGA "models" or something during boot

[rigid fjord]

trouble is, there was many other issues like where it shat itself over drivers

[brave brook]

which was driver issue, not OS issue

[glad gulch]

Good ol' Core 2 Duo L7100 and Intel GM965 graphics

[brave brook]

when NVIDIA gives you crappy drivers, it is not Microsofts fault

[glad gulch]

Hey, Slayer, the 2000s called, they want their edgy emo usernames back

[brave brook]

NVIDIA was literally 30% of driver crashes in Vista, and GPU drivers were 40% of crashes in Vista

[iron glen]

The actual recepie is like 3h of frying onions and i did less than 10min so its def too high heat

Man are they filling tho

[haughty aspen]

I calibrated Sony A80J in HDR calibration tool in Windows 11, I set it up from a RTINGS guide, I didn’t like the picture, but when I deleted the color profile, it looked much better, should I do any calibrations or should I just leave it as default?

[glad gulch]

That is a personal preference. If you like it your way, leave it.

[green tendon]

ok, do you know where to get a good iso (hopefully with some modern drivers)

[glad gulch]

Make a tech support page in #1027757333117415424 before we get murdered, but yes

[green tendon]

i made it with Win7 BSOD while trying to install on a laptop with Kaby Lake R cpus? as a title

[surreal totem]

i cant find the dimensions of the Corsair Vengeance RGB RAM Kit. can someone help me with it i want to see if it has enough cleaarance for my case+ cooler fans

[glad gulch]

Google, my friend.

Find your specific kit, Google dimensions or the FCC page

[surreal totem]

i did but i cant find it

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/memory/cmh64gx5m2b6000c40w/vengeance-rgb-64gb-2x32gb-ddr5-dram-6000mt-s-cl40-memory-kit-white-cmh64gx5m2b6000c40w

its not on their website

[rigid fjord]

6000 cl40 is shit tbh

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/N48Pxr/
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Q6Jp99/
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LjFmP6/
better white ram options with rgb on it

[surreal totem]

naah nah its just to link the model to. the one i m buying from says cl30 so i think they have 2 variants

[brave brook]

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/explorer/diy-builder/memory/ddr5-memory-module-dimensions/ your google is weak

[rigid fjord]

that costs more than the 3 i linked still, while not being better

[glad gulch]

What even does CL mean?

Something to do with latency?

[surreal totem]

cas latancy

[empty quartz]

Holy shit

[rigid fjord]

cas latency, essentially the higher the freq (ram speed) the lower the latency is what you wanted

[glad gulch]

Yeah, I guess I really don't belong, since I don't even care about that haha

[surreal totem]

i gotta buy what is aavailable in my region+ i can get product support easily

[glad gulch]

If you lower your standards, kids, you'll achieve happiness far, far more easily

[rigid fjord]

what location ?

[empty quartz]

What wizardry did apple do to make the iphone air so durable 😭

[glad gulch]

Titanium crutch

[rigid fjord]

they made sacrifices to Chthulu

[surreal totem]

India

[empty quartz]

Its thinner than the s25 edge

And somehow more durable

I cant wait to go into work today and see them for myself

[surreal totem]

the thing is all of them are available but the price difference is like max 15 usd and with corsair or predator(the ones i m considering) i can get easy support

[rigid fjord]

ah, the country where you're screwed on prices even more so when it comes to tech

[surreal totem]

yeah

[rigid fjord]

i'd still go for the predators then

[fallow rune]

Alright, got the montech XR case, 3 Asia horse reverse fans, 1 forward fan, some new cable extensions, and a handheld blower ordered. Should arrive Monday so I can transfer components

[surreal totem]

yeah they look really cleaan

[glad gulch]

It seems to have some sort of midframe

[surreal totem]

and cheaper

[empty quartz]

🤨📸📸

[glad gulch]

[rigid fjord]

funnily enough, no

[rigid fjord]

the thinness of the titanium doesn't make it durable tbh

[gloomy sleet]

the titanium does make it durable

its just the back glass that cant handle the fact the titanium is so durable

[rigid fjord]

if it was much more thicker it could, but no, it doesn't make it more durable, if you've not seen previously with the 15/16 it still can bend

[tame trout]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1297900088261083208/1330989445779951800/caption.gif

[gloomy sleet]

the iphone 15 didnt bend

that was the issue

the titanium wouldnt bend so the back glass would just break

[hushed tapir]

im looking to sell my 3070 ti FE. whats a reasonable asking price. US pricing
