gloomy sleet
#

so i’ve uncovered an interesting fact

gleaming rose
#

hi vaux

gloomy sleet
#

playing on a triple monitor setup (by this i mean assetto corsa being run on all 3 monitors) is only about 70% more demanding on your gpu then a single monitor

gleaming rose
#

ooo hi saint

gloomy sleet
daring crystal
gloomy sleet
#

even though it’s rendering 3x more pixels

gleaming rose
#

i guess it's already rendering the same stuff

#

just wider

#

hi ech0

gleaming rose
gloomy sleet
#

i’m testing 3x 1920x1080 compared to 1x 1920x1080

daring crystal
gloomy sleet
#

typically i’m pushing about 200fps consistently on a single 1080p but it drops to about 60-70fps consistently

gloomy sleet
#

all of the monitors on my triple setup are 60hz anyway so this doesn’t matter in the slightest but it’s weird seeing how little of a drop it actually it

#

i suppose because it’s sim racing at 1080p it’s more cpu dependent then i thought

How efficient is virtual RAM on Smartphones? 4gb plus up to 12gb virtual RAM for example. My sister looks for a Budget Smartphone that is still satisfying (she only uses very few Apps, nothing Hardware intensive). So the Motorola g35 Looks pretty good for 115€ but it "only" has 4gb ram Up to 12gb. Does virtual RAM still do a decent Job?

you ain’t pushing hard enough, you should also wiggle a tiny bit

azure topaz
#

worst case it wont turn on

real bobcat
#

24pin is low voltage, low wattage

glacial hatch

like 90% of the connector is like 5v, 1.3v and grnd

3.3v

real bobcat

the 24pin is the worst connector ever invented and still in use

Hi guys Im trying to watch a video that was made by my school on my windows computer, I have the volume turned all the way up but the video is super quiet still is there anyway to make it louder, the video is from youtube.

good? good

See that’s the problem

azure topaz

you are the problem

It goes smoothly

Till it gets to bottom 2cm

azure topaz

you can do this

glacial hatch

And then it’s just hard ass fuck

azure topaz

yes youre putting a cable with a lock in 😭

show me where it gets stuck

I don’t think I can

also your cable management leaves something to be desired wont hold u

Gonna get a Thermal Right smart 400w

My first build

real bobcat

#

youll be the test dummy cause nobody has reviewed it yet

emphasis on dummy

i think id rather take the house fire rm 750e over that

real bobcat

#

house fires ain’t cheap man

#

insurance ain’t gonna pay out cause it’s your own fault for bringing in a fire starter

azure topaz
#

i mean no but that would be fucked

Very much a joke on that last bit

"erm you had a D tier psu, thats why your house burnt down"

"no coverage"

real bobcat

its okay they already use your genes

i dont think a smart 400w exists even

they’re already world class on rules lawyering their way out of payouts

“Thermal Right smart 400w”

oh i read thermalright and assumed he was actually talking about the right brand

#

silly me to assume people know what brands things are

cause there is new thermalruight psus on the market

real bobcat

silly you, you ought to know how bad people are with mentioning the actual correct names

Time to boot windows

broken palm
#

i had 4x16 gig dimms (DDR5, 6000 G-Skill & 6400 OLOy running at 6000) for a total of 64.

I bought 96gb from corsair (DDR5, 6000) and i couldn't mix it. I set all the timings and voltages and didnt post. I said fuck it and spent another $150 on 32gb from corsair.

Spent 2 hours trying to get it to run at 6000 128gb but only magaged to get 128gb 5000

azure topaz
#

did you install an OS?

broken palm
craggy cove
azure topaz
#

dont fucking blame corsair for this

craggy cove
#

gg

azure topaz
#

when 4 people told you yesterday that it wouldnt work

glacial hatch
broken palm
#

it just refused with 128'

azure topaz
#

that isnt working

real bobcat
#

“i trying running outside of spec and it didn’t work, even though multiple people warned me it wouldn’t, fuck corsair”

azure topaz
#

yes because youre mixing IC's

#

youre mixing ic's high density, rank count

#

you literally have the worst possible storm of ram combo

#

the fact it even posted and can make it to 5000 is baffling

#

i said this yesterday

real bobcat
#

Did they run a stress test with 5000 or did it just boot into windows

azure topaz
#

probably the 2nd one

real bobcat
#

if they actually did any kind of verification test with that ram config it would almost certainly fail

sinful cobalt
azure topaz
#

i can kind of understand a 4 stick config if youre running 4x of the same ic and need it for work but bro plays minecraft

#

😭 96gb alone is enough

sinful cobalt
#

96 gb for minecraft bro

i do also host my network on it so it makes sense

my avg ram usage with half the network offline was 40gb

why not learn how to make your computer faster instead of slower tho ;)

yes

make your computer faster not slower

since it doesn’t matter anyways, it’s a known voltage so regardless of whether you measure in amps or watts you get the same answer

wdym “allowed to use”?

as in the service to your panel?

tame trout

450watts service is crazy low

real bobcat

it’s functionally identical, you just divide by the known voltage to get the amperage

tame trout

You know how crazy that is

Yes most people here are aware how little 2a is

in most places you have 100/200a service

I have a legion slim 5 I was using Usb C to Hdmi cable to an External Benq Monitor. Suddenly today it's not showing up on external monitor anymore. I checked the cable with my brother's HP laptop in his external monitor it's working fine there. So it's not the cable issue. I tried to update everything on my laptop. But still not working. Any help plz

pretty cool browser

I got hold of the power supply I need wondering if I could use the amd on board graphics and old hdd drive to set up the pc while I wait to get the m.2 and gpu

real bobcat
#

yes

#

assuming your cpu has an IGPU

slate fulcrum
#

Amd ryzen 5 9600x

real bobcat
#

you won’t really be able to setup much without the M.2 you’re going to use for boot tho

#

9600x has an igpu, which you could have found out with a quick google search

azure topaz
#

he could install windows on his hdd but thats useless

slate fulcrum
#

I was going to get small ssd for the os

azure topaz
#

that is dumb

slate fulcrum
#

Its just to make sure everything works

azure topaz
#

your cpu is like 200$ i think you can afford a 30$ 500gb ssd i reckon 😭

dark tiger
#

I cant update to 24h2 do i downgrade to windows 10 ltsc

azure topaz
slate fulcrum
#

The plan is to hop down to my local tech shop and get a small ssd

real bobcat
#

why

azure topaz
#

literally why

gloomy sleet
azure topaz
#

do you not have one on the way? how long will it take?

#

if its less than a month i would just wait

#

you will have enough time to return the parts if theyre broken by the time your drive arrives

slate fulcrum
#

The build wont be finish till end october

real bobcat
#

and if it’s more than a month, where the hell did you order it from

dark tiger
slate fulcrum
#

I am taking my time with the parts

real bobcat
#

just boot into bios with your igpu, good enough

azure topaz
real bobcat
azure topaz
#

it seems like you should just buy a decent drive in person aand cancel the online order then? 😭

real bobcat
#

it’s generally best to buy all components at once

gloomy sleet
azure topaz
#

what youre doing is at best a waste of time and at worst a waste of time and money

gloomy sleet
#

maybe theres a reason you cant use win11

slate fulcrum
azure topaz
#

okay give us the full context here before we be mean to you

serene pumice
gloomy sleet
#

i love CM

#

just flat out doesnt work and refuses to tell me why

slate fulcrum
#

So I want to build my rig but given the availability changes of parts. I have budgetted each part and priortise. So each week when I get paid I can order a part and slowly build it.

azure topaz
#

just wait jimmy let him yap

real bobcat
#

fine

slate fulcrum
#

That way I avoid saving up all at once and when I do the get the money the parts are unavailable

azure topaz
#

okay

#

i will compile a short response

edgy holly
azure topaz
#

while that is a great idea, buying parts piece meal typically puts you in scenarios like this where youre spending weeks if not months unsure if it works. its smarter to just save up a general value without a parts list in mind at all then build a computer with that much money you have. that way you avoid unavailable parts and out of budget options

#

in your scenario where you just want to see if your cpu/mobo/ram work, you dont need to purchase a drive at all, just assemble the parts on the mobo box and see if it goes to the bios

slate fulcrum
#

I done my research into everything and only getting brands I use and trust

azure topaz
#

if youre going to buy a drive in person have it be the drive youre actually going to use in your computer, dont go out buying a small one just to test (more money overall, the opposite of what a budget build aims for)

slate fulcrum
#

Thanks floppa

azure topaz

Sadly the gpu is the last component but means I have more time to decide which one I want

thats valid i usually test when im in the persons house

#

a person is a lot less likely to scam you if you know where they live

real bobcat
#

assuming you do the deal at their place of residence

azure topaz

tru

real bobcat
#

scammers usually don’t

azure topaz
#

tru

but normal people sometimes don’t either, for privacy

azure topaz
#

im a "im going to test it or i need a photo of it working" kinda guy

real bobcat
#

Yeah that’s a good rule to live by

#

I’ve enough random parts lying around to throw together a test bench for something like that

#

Though it sounds like quantum doesn’t

azure topaz
#

yeah i respect the privacy but i do at least need a pic working otherwise too scary

real bobcat
#

what region of the world does quantum live in where availability is that bad though

azure topaz
#

i bought my 1080 without a picture of it working and although it worked i was mortified

real bobcat
azure topaz
#

yeah just a lil annoying to bring a rig with you if its a gpu or sumn

#

portable monitor and small computer/testbed fixes that

real bobcat
#

throw it in the truck of your car, then bring an extension cord

#

you don’t need anything nice to test its functionality

# gloomy sleet i love CM

cm usually works for me but turns out when you dont install 7zip with it in the installer it doesnt like installing mods

gloomy sleet
#

mods arent a massive issue

#

you can drag it into the page most of the time otherwise just drag it straight into your assetto corsa files

azure topaz
#

yeah thats what i mean the the first one didnt work when i forgot to install 7zip lol

#

ive never raw dogged a mod for corsa so idk how that works

#

vaux does corsa support sli

south arrow
#

Never looked into what 7zip does or why it can read/whatever it does to certain formats vs windows

#

But appreciate its services non the less

azure topaz
#

well, 7zip as a program is fine, but specifically when installing CM itll ask if you want to install the 7zip plugin

#

so naturally im like "nah i have 7zip"

#

then i spent like idk 30 minutes "why isnt this dragging and dropping right"

turns out it wants the 7zip plugin
