tech-chat-1

[cosmic lance]

yes

give me a few more years then i'll know the naming schemes

since yes, i do understand it, but my brain cant give it a performance standpoint

[carmine yew]

you can't respond to "How?" with "Yes"

[atomic fog]

So listen i want the pc cooler

[cosmic lance]

like intel core equivalent

[atomic fog]

Coz watercooler = cool

[cosmic lance]

yes

[rigid fjord]

nope

[cosmic lance]

there is some air cooler that are better than AIO's

[grizzled frost]

that’s a personal skill issue, not a naming scheme issue

[carmine yew]

cool, another useless amd fanboy. got it.

[atomic fog]

And what did you even change lol

[cosmic lance]

im not no fanboy, i just dont really like intel

[atomic fog]

Idc i want the asthetics

[cosmic lance]

i have an intel cpu rn

[azure topaz]

okay and some sports cars get beat out by a 1997 honda civic

[cosmic lance]

then go for it my man

[latent gull]

the shitwagon

[azure topaz]

you see how stupid things sound without specifics? 💀

[carmine yew]

it's funny cuz it's true lol

[rigid fjord]

cooler, better mobo, and a 2tb ssd instead of 1tb ssd

[azure topaz]

yeah it is but you have no idea what sports car im talking about or whats in the civic

[atomic fog]

Coz i alr have an amd cpu cooler so ill js get that

[cosmic lance]

why does people say that samsung ssd's are bad

[latent gull]

Oh sorry, not the shitwagon, the shitbox of doom

[atomic fog]

Satas are slow js get a nvme

[carmine yew]

They're just overpriced

[azure topaz]

LOL

[atomic fog]

And pricey

[carmine yew]

what

[cosmic lance]

im talking about the nvme's one

[atomic fog]

Idk theyre also pricey

[latent gull]

That thing is fucking insane if you’ve never seen it

[rigid fjord]

when gaming no, nvme's are not better

[carmine yew]

where did you get SATA from?

[cosmic lance]

the most fire image ive seen all year

[azure topaz]

then theyre equal, this does not mean sata ssds are worth buying in 2025. 😭

[azure topaz]

why are we advocating for the purchase of a way slower tech at the exact same price with 0 benefit

thats why you buy nvme

[cosmic lance]

its worth it || when you dont have an m.2 port ||

[azure topaz]

because theres no reason to buy sata

[rigid fjord]

when the ghostbuster wagon gets a massive engine upgrade

[ebon marlin]

whole lotta bullshitt

[cosmic lance]

not all motherboards support nvme ma man

[azure topaz]

well yeah but at the same time a 7$ pcie card changes that

[latent gull]

It’s all engine

[carmine yew]

I can add m.2's

[azure topaz]

7 additional dollars

[carmine yew]

you can fix that

[azure topaz]

if youre in that situation you have an old computer that doesnt care anyways 😭

[rigid fjord]

anything after 2010 definitely does

[atomic fog]

What was so had abt the old one

[azure topaz]

like 2015

[cosmic lance]

more like 2012

[robust trail]

NVMe good for high IO, large transfers. Sata - good for applications that don't really care about latency, aren't going to care much about fast data access.

[azure topaz]

its 2015

after haswell is when nvme got popular

[next hill]

Hey guys, can i ask a thing

[latent gull]

Either way it’s minimum 10 years ago

[cosmic lance]

hard drive's are good for pure storage, flex and POWER 🔥

[azure topaz]

2010 is sandy/ivy

[rigid fjord]

meh, emc drives existed earlier than that no?

[carmine yew]

not all 4th and 5th gen had NVME slots. It wasn't until 6th that it was mostly assured you had NVME M.2

[azure topaz]

^

[azure topaz]

exist yes but become common place?

[next hill]

I was installing motherboard and got wrong screws, took all out but one is stuck, its turning and on end it makes a pop and goes back in a bit

[carmine yew]

SATA M.2 existed earlier, but they don't support NVME

[azure topaz]

right after haswell is when it got good

[robust trail]

Yes, they spin data.

[azure topaz]

i have a 4th gen rig with an nvme slot but it doenst support booting

i js use a usb bootloader

[cosmic lance]

spin POWER 🔥

[carmine yew]

meh

[cosmic lance]

PAWAAAR 🔥

[latent gull]

Ahh yes, back when things were complicated

[azure topaz]

i have a 990FX board with nvme as well

[robust trail]

I don't get it but okay

[azure topaz]

but it supports everything and it was great

[carmine yew]

So, you're here to spin bullshit opinions. One more reason to ignore you.,

[atomic fog]

@azure topaz thoughts?

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/xPPGQd

[cosmic lance]

wait did Linus Sevasian The First have started balding?

[azure topaz]

im fine with it ur the one who wanted the aio

couldve swore the board i picked was like 115$ tho

[atomic fog]

Well yeah coz i alr have a amd cooler and i can js get a watercooler coz cool

[cosmic lance]

have you ever see one exatetrabyte of bajillion of gigs of storage, this is what i call POWER 🔥

[azure topaz]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/yVJGQd

[atomic fog]

Yeah thats why im confused, both msi, both b650m, bith wifi

[winged sky]

I mean hard drives are still great with storage density for lower costs than an SSD

[azure topaz]

gtetting rid of aio allows for a 2tb ssd its worth it

[cosmic lance]

someone that shares a list that doesnt hhave a bullshit sata ssd? is this real???

[carmine yew]

not really

[winged sky]

There's nothing wrong with a sata ssd

[atomic fog]

I was thinking abt getting a sata js for storage but not gaming

[winged sky]

Have you seen ssd prices?

[azure topaz]

yes/no, if youre buying geniunely mass storage >4tb, sure

[carmine yew]

they're kinda a waste today, and no good SATA SSDs are made today

[azure topaz]

yeah 100$ for a 2tb drive is perfectly reasonable

[carmine yew]

yes. Until you get to 8 or 12TB drives, Stick with SSDs

[winged sky]

Its fine if you dont have 12 bazillion m.2 slots.

[azure topaz]

7$ pcie card

[atomic fog]

I mean im not buying the cpu cooler anyway i alr have a am4 cpu cooler so hopefully it fits for am5 and i can js get a aio

[azure topaz]

im not gonna say this 400 more times bro

[carmine yew]

nope

[azure topaz]

the point of the pcie slots on your motherboard are to add what you need in your computer

[rigid fjord]

lack of vrm cooler, missing a m.2 slot, there's also better audio on the msi board

[winged sky]

I also dont have anything free pcie slots.

[azure topaz]

if you lack something FUCKING PUT IT IN

[winged sky]

....

What?

[atomic fog]

@azure topaz ts true?

[carmine yew]

that's a personal problem.
Also I can do it off a mobo header.

[cosmic lance]

crazy low price

[azure topaz]

the gigabyte board i had at 115$ has everything he said it was missing

[azure topaz]

m.2 vrm heatsink, wifi

if the other msi board for 15$ more has more m.2 go for it, thats worth it but this one has whats required

[winged sky]

Dude i think you need to sit this out

[carmine yew]

meh. I'd pass.

[grizzled frost]

why

[atomic fog]

Well yeah thats the thing so tbh if you say theyre the same shit ill buy the cheaper one but 15€ is 15€ i wont loose that

fucking hell man

[steel umbra]

fr

[atomic fog]

So ill buy that, i guess (question mark (??))

[winged sky]

@carmine yew Riiiight but every sata ssd ive ever owned has been more than perfectly fine

[steel umbra]

oh yeah can’t you counter rg with like 1 elixir skeletons

[azure topaz]

800 usd

[azure topaz]

the one either of us sent is fine its literally down to whatever you want to pay for 15$ lol

[cosmic lance]

wdym 800 usd

[azure topaz]

that drive is 800 usd

[cosmic lance]

can you read, it isnt 800 usd

[rigid fjord]

some people lack more than 2 braincells, and those still compete for last place

[atomic fog]

Well ig if the expensive one is tiny bit better ill js buy that no biggies

[cosmic lance]

srry i don't listen to music

[robust trail]

just like Poland uses sausages and the UK uses teabags

[atomic fog]

Same but hes a meme in germany

[azure topaz]

yall are saying that the avg user should be buying hdds as mass storage in 2025 for only acouple of terabytes

[carmine yew]

What about sata ssd's?

[azure topaz]

enjoy your sata drives

theres no reason you should buy a new hdd thats under 4tb

[winged sky]

Sounds like a personal problem

[rigid fjord]

for general storage that 4tb wd blue is fine, high chance of it being cmr, but if you're gaming, and want to store a ton of them, a 4tb ssd is a way better option

[azure topaz]

simply

[atomic fog]

Alr yall time to buy motherboard and smth else

[carmine yew]

Anyone suggesting SATA for daily driver use is doing a disservice to whoever they're talking to

[cosmic lance]

truest statement ever

[azure topaz]

anythign smaller should be ssd no questions

[carmine yew]

at this point I'd say 8TB.

4TB NVMEs are frequently sub-150$

[azure topaz]

its to the point where ssds are still cheap enough to be justifyable but way faster

[cosmic lance]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-writing-writing-fire-his-writing-is-fire-is-this-fire-hold-up-gif-15400153686296022809

[azure topaz]

a 50$ price difference for a 40x increase in speed is not outrageous

[winged sky]

No im looking at prices in general. Especially for a NAS I am not doing all ssd storage.

[azure topaz]

no fucking shit

[winged sky]

Tell that to @carmine yew

[azure topaz]

we're talking about normal average everyday gamer

[cosmic lance]

x2

[carmine yew]

gee, a premium fucking drive is more expensive?

You don't fucking say

[winged sky]

@carmine yew Not in the US.

[azure topaz]

we're to the point where 1tb hdds new cost the same as a 1tb ssd new

what should the average gamer purchase 🔥

[winged sky]

@azure topaz I agree fully

Mass storage is gonna be a lot cheaper on hdd if you need it

[kindred halo]

The guy from the thread asked for a PC build, should I give him a B580

[winged sky]

https://tenor.com/view/jack-nicholson-jack-nicholson-yes-yes-nod-head-nod-gif-17444176260167585294

[cosmic lance]

did they fixed the drivers of it already?

[kindred halo]

He's playing val and shite so ±4060 performance with extra VRAM seems decent

[verbal prawn]

500gb 5200 rpm hdd

[azure topaz]

he’s not from the us don’t give a us list

[kindred halo]

Oh

[cosmic lance]

just give him an rx 580 🙏

[azure topaz]

currency was inr in screenshot

[bitter crater]

what is the difference between the logitech g502 x lightspeed and the x plus? just the rgb added?

[carmine yew]

Anyone building a Mass Storage box should know enough to buy HDDs.

However there are people in here suggesting HDDs for the daily driver box.

[rigid fjord]

if you're doing a nas, and if it's getting daily access look at wd red plus's, seagate ironwolfs, seagate exos, and toshiba n300's all at 4tb or higher, do not ever get barracudas

[carmine yew]

SATA HDDs absolutely have uses, but those uses don't include daily driver boxes

[azure topaz]

big fat 0 of them

[verbal prawn]

Yes

[cosmic lance]

the only reasons for a gamer to have an hard drive is for if they record content/save VOD's

[carmine yew]

still wouldn't

[rigid fjord]

slight weight differences also slight pcb differences i believe

[verbal prawn]

How many vods do y'all have

[winged sky]

I use hard drives for most of my games, a 1tb hdd that ive had for years, a slightly newer 2tb hdd, 1tb m.2 nvme drive, a 1tb sata ssd, and a 256gb boot ssd

[kindred halo]

inr....... Yeah I don't think India is in PCPP

[cosmic lance]

i have like 10gb of videos (i started recording 2/3 days ago)

[azure topaz]

what da heyull

[bitter crater]

but no functionality change? so the cheaper one is the better choice?

[winged sky]

I was thinking of getting some ironwolfs from serverpartsdeals

[carmine yew]

I'd have consolidated that a while ago

[rigid fjord]

not really, pretty much same performance afaik

[winged sky]

What's wrong with barracudas

[winged sky]

I mean i would if I had a bigger 4tb hdd

[carmine yew]

also: Using drives you already have is not the same thing as telling people to buy HDDs today

[bitter crater]

alright, then the lightspeed is gonna be my next mouse i think, thank you

[rigid fjord]

smr drives, only good for archiving once a week/month/year, data access times for read and right is slow

[winged sky]

I just tack on new storage cause its easier for now

[azure topaz]

then we complain about lack of slots and the cycle continues

YESSSS

[winged sky]

Wuuut? Both of my hdds are barracudas and I dont have anything performance issues with em. But they are only 1 and 2 TB

[rigid fjord]

the only reason to play games from a hdd is if they're really retro and are not able to take advantage of an ssd

[winged sky]

Then thats when I consolidate. I have 2 open hdd slots still XD

[azure topaz]

so we proceed to buy small drives knowing that you’ll provably need more storage soon anyways but instead you’ll replace entire hdds instead of adding g them

cooking

[winged sky]

Bruh what? I buy what I can afford when I need it. The next hdd is going to be 4tb or higher

[rigid fjord]

both of them are smr drives, 13ms data access time, which if they get interupted, the info in it's cache can corrupt, where as a cmr drive is 6ms data access, which for when constantly accessing the drive for data is better, especially at larger capacities

[winged sky]

Then I guess the larger drive will just have to be a cmr drive

[carmine yew]

Worst I ever had in one box was 4 drives. And all were 1TB+ SSDs.

.... fuck, sorry, I forgot my new build has 6 drives. But for the Aesthetics.

[rigid fjord]

https://nascompares.com/answer/list-of-wd-cmr-and-smr-hard-drives-hdd/ good way of checking the drive, and it shows the serial numbers

#tech-chat-2 message

[austere crescent]

Guys i use my dad's old hp pc he used for work,the specs are ancient so i can't use wifi without an antenna,my motherboard is a foxconn 2abf so i believe that's why,i used usb antennas until mine broke so i bought another one similar but it didn't work,i can't use Ethernet cuz my router is far from my pc,Where to get screw non usb antennas and where do i get these,Sorry long text

[carmine yew]

jesus that was a giant run on stream of consciousness

Amazon, Ebay, or call any local repair shops and see if they have any old antennas they'd sell you for cheap

[wheat torrent]

I have a small little cloud storage for my clients

[austere crescent]

Sorry

[wheat torrent]

And I'm thinking, should I perhaps have a small SSD as some sort of idk, faster storage for newer files?

I am sure there should be a name for this

Cache perhaps 🤔

[austere crescent]

Delivery isn't available here,and i didn't find them in retail stores,also i did check for those where to screw them and i don't have that i think

[woven wigeon]

there are apps that allow you to dedicate some ram for storage

[carmine yew]

what?

Does your computer have a wifi card or not

[woven wigeon]

but its temporary and it somehow messed up my temp folders

[wheat torrent]

Doesn't sound practical for my usecase

[austere crescent]

It only works with wifi antenna so i assume no

[carmine yew]

Does your computer have one or two of these big shiny screw on connectors?

[austere crescent]

I looked for them i didn't find

[woven wigeon]

on the mobo

[austere crescent]

Do i send my back panel?

[carmine yew]

then you don't have a wifi card, and you can't plug in an antenna

[austere crescent]

Behind the pc?

[austere crescent]

Then why the usb antenna worked

[kindred halo]

Like this

[carmine yew]

because USB antennas are full WiFi Adapters

[austere crescent]

Yeah i call it back panel

[woven wigeon]

the big circle thing bwetween the audio jack and the usb c port in the picture

[austere crescent]

Well i used that but the last one i used broke

[austere crescent]

I don't have usb port c my pc is an ancient pre build my dad bought years ago

[carmine yew]

the block on here is a WiFi card, and the antenna is just an antenna.

Without a WiFi card, you can't use wifi

[woven wigeon]

isint it better to use those PCIE ones

[carmine yew]

did I say to buy a usb?

Yes, PCIE Cards are better, but also require more skills to install.

[woven wigeon]

like this

[woven wigeon]

best luck to use a pcie one or usb one

[austere crescent]

That's what i usually do

[carmine yew]

you don't have a wifi card, so you can't plug in an antenna.

You need to buy a WiFi card.

[austere crescent]

Oof

[woven wigeon]

usb can be much slower depending what antenna and model y buy

[woven wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/no-wifi-izzy-one-xenph-gif-26349547

[austere crescent]

Idc i don't need wifi over 50 mbps

[kindred halo]

Barren I/O port, oh my days..
Just get a PCIe WiFi card

[empty summit]

hello

[kindred halo]

Yello

[austere crescent]

[woven wigeon]

enjoy having MAX 6.25 mb per second downloads with 50 mbps

[austere crescent]

I had decent download with my usb antenna,it isn't that bad

I wish I could use Ethernet lol

[carmine yew]

just get a PCIE WiFi Card, and if you need, find someone to help install it

These are much more reliable than USB wifi adapters

amazon has them for 20-25 bucks, you may be able to find one locally too if you look around

[latent gull]

I used to use a usb one and it was terrible

[carmine yew]

shitty ones are, I use a good USB and it's pretty baller actually

[wheat torrent]

The monitor I'm buying has wifi antennas

[latent gull]

Yeah I used some shitty 25$ Netgear one at Best Buy

[woven wigeon]

usb to ethernet adapter

but its a mystery do you have a usb

3 connector

[wheat torrent]

Do we know if he has extra pcie slots?

I think that's pretty important

[austere crescent]

20 bucks is pretty expensive here, dollars are worth way more than my currency,also idk if i have a port for this my motherboard is very 13 years old or something

[woven wigeon]

his case has some space for that stuff

[carmine yew]

yes he does

[wheat torrent]

Case doesn't matter

[wheat torrent]

Alright good

[blazing onyx]

I am marginally sad with how VR is right now,
I wish there was a headset, the size of say, a bigscreen 2, but with inside out tracking,
i wouldnt even care if the tracking had to be PC controlled

[wheat torrent]

Check your local market then lol

[grizzled frost]

inside out tracking kind of sucks

you’re asking for far too much by trying to shove it into the big screen beyond form factor

[wheat torrent]

Isn't VR developing pretty well?

[blazing onyx]

the only issue i have had, was putting my hands behind my back, and theres already a solution for that

[grizzled frost]

inside out tracking is just far less reliable than station based tracking

[blazing onyx]

If we take out all of the cpu proceessing that a quest does, Make the PC itself do all the calculating

[carmine yew]

development is spotty, as adoption isn't very widespread

[wheat torrent]

Well thats the appeal of the quest though no?

[blazing onyx]

i dont wanna pay 400$ just to have some boxes in the corner my room that can be obstructed

[grizzled frost]

now try fitting all the sensors into that form factor

[kindred halo]

I had a USB WiFi thingamabob that didn't even have an antenna

[austere crescent]

My "local market" is in a whole other city because people are dumb with PCs here they just buy pre builds for twice what they cost and call themselves pc experts

[carmine yew]

I've had multiple like that

They were all beyond ass tier

[grizzled frost]

if you want bigscreen beyond size, with inside out tracking, you’re looking at more like 1200-1500

[woven wigeon]

but thats a low expectation since your wifi could be prob be the bottleneck of even the basic usb ones with 0 antenna

[latent gull]

Apple vr thing?

[carmine yew]

do not buy those: Those are terrible

[blazing onyx]

The appeal of the quest is that its portable and Can work without a pc,
I want a headset, that has the same tracking as the quest, but without the ungodly weight or size, even if it would Have to be PC only

[kindred halo]

It's a TPLink 500 mbps adapter, it was horrid but usable enough when I didn't have ethernet

[wheat torrent]

Well so If you can't buy it then how can we help

[woven wigeon]

true

[grizzled frost]

have you compared it to the bigscreen beyond?

the vision pro is like 3x the size

[latent gull]

No I’m not into VR :p

[blazing onyx]

Honestly the vision pro sits in a class all on its own

[kindred halo]

I would've bought a PCIe WiFi card later on to compliment my ethernet but the PCIe x1 was under the x16 and thus covered by it lol

[blazing onyx]

that thing is, Ridiculous

[wheat torrent]

Vision pro hype died and now it's being sold at like 1000-1500 USD less in us?

[austere crescent]

Where?all i see is usb dvi hdmi and vga and Ethernet lol

[wheat torrent]

On ebay

[wheat torrent]

You have to look at the motherboard, inside

[woven wigeon]

above the vga cable that is connected

[austere crescent]

We don't have that lol

[craggy cove]

up to*

[wheat torrent]

I was talking about something else

[austere crescent]

Oh the closed panels?

[wheat torrent]

Where do you live? No shipping in your country

[woven wigeon]

behind them

[austere crescent]

Algeria

[wheat torrent]

You have to look inside your case

[grizzled frost]

not really

[austere crescent]

I was wondering what was it for

[grizzled frost]

like the only thing it has going for it is the pass through

[wheat torrent]

You can't know If you have extra pcie ports by looking at the case....

[grizzled frost]

which is so underutilized it’s comical

[austere crescent]

I opened it like 3 times for cleaning, I'll check rn it's extremely dusty here

[woven wigeon]

show us the inside of the pc

[blazing onyx]

the apple vision pro?

[wheat torrent]

Most prebuilts in poor countries come with micro boards so you might be cooked

[grizzled frost]

yes…

[blazing onyx]

everything about it is so incredibly stupid

[austere crescent]

Wait

[woven wigeon]

ALWAYS cutting corners whenever they can

[grizzled frost]

like the vision pro is technologically impressive, but the support is so bad it’s comical

[blazing onyx]

the support is bad because its apple,
if it were anyone else the support would be fine.
then again if it were anyone else the performance wouldnt be anywhere near as good

[austere crescent]

Are these pcie

[blazing onyx]

i mean hell, didnt they throw an ENTIRE M2 chip in the vision pro?

[grizzled frost]

performance doesn’t really matter if there’s no apps to be used

[woven wigeon]

isint it more of a thing for tech tubers to show off and not a reasonable thing a avarage person would buy

[woven wigeon]

they are pcie

[grizzled frost]

pretty much

[austere crescent]

Thank god

It's so dusty in here

[grizzled frost]

they better for how much the thing weighs

it’s 600-650g not including the battery

[wheat torrent]

I am Hopeful in next 5 year we will have ar/VR good enough to replace monitors

Like vision pro but properly done

[grizzled frost]

don’t hold your breath

[wheat torrent]

But to be honest that would require windows implementation, yeah it's gonna take longer

[grizzled frost]

“windows implementation”? if you mean the OS you’re dead wrong

any stand alone ar/vr device would never use windows

it’s far too bloated and inefficient

[wheat torrent]

I want to use my computer

Not the vr

[azure topaz]

woah

[azure topaz]

these have interesting limitations

[blazing onyx]

All i want, is something Lighter than a quest, that still has inside out

[azure topaz]

whatever oem rig youre putting them in, needs an extra USB 2 header

[wheat torrent]

I want to replace my monitors not my computer

[blazing onyx]

i dont wanna deal with base station occlusion bullshit

[grizzled frost]

if you are fine with wired VR, then it already exists

[azure topaz]

that im not seeing in here

[austere crescent]

who guys know the hp 3500 series?i have that pre built i just wanna know if i can place a third hard drive

[grizzled frost]

open it up and find out

[wheat torrent]

You think? Oled, light weight, passthrough, high resolution, high refresh rate?

No monitor limit

[grizzled frost]

pass through no, everything else, yes

“monitor limit” is a software thing, not a hardware one

[wheat torrent]

I think pass through would be pretty important for me

[blazing onyx]

Your only gonna get passthrough on standalone capible headsets

[austere crescent]

Yeah the thing is i spotted the SATA cables and drives but they are placed.. strangly

[grizzled frost]

well… full color passthrough at least

[wheat torrent]

In used to not look at my keyboard for years but i doubt I would be able to get used to not see my keyboard/mouse AT ALL for productivity tasks

[blazing onyx]

cough quest 1-2

[grizzled frost]

not at all my point, there’s IR pass through on wired vr headsets already

it’s just… not great

[blazing onyx]

ah, fair enough

about as bad as the quest 2 im assuming?

[wheat torrent]

Well I'll say what the problem is

[grizzled frost]

worse

[blazing onyx]

o h

[wheat torrent]

The problem is that no company tried to replace monitors

Except vision pro but it's dogshit

[grizzled frost]

i’ve tried both the quest 2 and valve index passthrough, and the valve index passthrough is worthless

[blazing onyx]

fair enough

[wheat torrent]

In a few years we will for sure have decides aimed at replacing monitors

[grizzled frost]

to be fair i’ve only ever tried the quest 2 one time and it was in surgery

[wheat torrent]

Right now we have VR headset that has this as an extra

[austere crescent]

So how add drive here?

[grizzled frost]

most people don’t want a vr headset instead of a monitor, they want a monitor, or they want a vr headset

[wheat torrent]

Why not?

[grizzled frost]

vr is uncomfortable for long periods of time

and nauseating to most

[wheat torrent]

Agree

That's why it has to be light weight, not the vision pro

[grizzled frost]

vr is inherently uncomfortable

[wheat torrent]

You remove all the useless shit and you can make it more light weight

[grizzled frost]

having anything strapped to your face is uncomfortable after a while

[carmine yew]

the weight isn't the part that makes it bad generally

[wheat torrent]

You don't need sensors for what I'm proposing

[grizzled frost]

you do…

[blazing onyx]

the way i see it,
Quest 3 is already decently small, for being a full standalone headset.
what i would want, is for all the processing to be ripped out of the quest 3. No battery, No Standalone power at all.
just Screen, Cameras, and sensors. and then leave it all to PC control

[grizzled frost]

if you want pass through, you need sensors

[blazing onyx]

just imagine how much smaller and cheaper they could make it

[carmine yew]

If you make VR Work without sensors, you're literally magical

[wheat torrent]

Poorly worded

What I'm saying is that you don't need gestures and hand control and all of that

[grizzled frost]

issue with that is gonna be latency

[blazing onyx]

how would that be a problem

[carmine yew]

so, a cell phone strapped to your face with a playstation pad?

[blazing onyx]

it would essentially be the same thing as the pc processing positions from the base stations

[wheat torrent]

What PlayStation pad

[carmine yew]

without gestures and hand tracking, how're you going to interact with it

[next hill]

How long memory training on b850, 7600x and 32gb

[wheat torrent]

I just want to plug the headset into my GPU and have as many monitors as I want that's all

OLED, high refresh rate, 4k

[wheat torrent]

Mouse And keyboard

[carmine yew]

So you VR.... from your desk chair?

[grizzled frost]

for positionality, sure, but for the processing required for pass through you’d want to puke

[wheat torrent]

Yes that's what replacing the monitors is

Replacing THE monitors that's it

[blazing onyx]

I dont care about pass through

i dont care about standalone.
i care about Weight, Size, and having inside out tracking

[grizzled frost]

they basically want the exact experience of a standard desk setup, but with a vr headset strapped to their skull instead

[next hill]

I guess memory training?

[wheat torrent]

Instead of paying multiple hundred of dollars for multiple monitors, arms and all of that hassle

[carmine yew]

memory training varies by board, there is no one answer

[latent gull]

He wants a prawn setup

[wheat torrent]

I want to pay 2k USD for a device that has no physical limitation for the monitors

[woven wigeon]

guess the price 🤫

[next hill]

Its been around 3 mins

[blazing onyx]

Like i said, what i want is essentially a quest 3, with all of its processing power ripped out and processing through the pc itself

[wheat torrent]

I have this somewhere I paid 5 bucks

[carmine yew]

wait till 5, then turn it off, and reseat RAM and try again.

Also show us the RAM sticks in the board

[woven wigeon]

very close 🤣

[blazing onyx]

No battery, no processing power. just a smaller, PCVR headset with inside out tracking and excellent weight

[next hill]

Gonna be pretty hard to take off fan

[woven wigeon]

3 euros

[wheat torrent]

Idk if pass through would even be needed similar to vision pro
I just want to see my hands and desk

[carmine yew]

get an angle that's fine

you don't need to remove stuff

[next hill]

I mean about reseat

The ram is gskill flare x5 6000 cl30

[carmine yew]

Microcenter Bundle?

[next hill]

Im eu

[wheat torrent]

I want this but using my desktop PC for the processing

[next hill]

Gonna wait till 21:05, gonna be around 10 mins

[wheat torrent]

I think there would be a decently sized market for professionals

[carmine yew]

ohhh, Signal RGB made a cool change:

No more subscriptions, now you just buy and own things.

nah, I doubt using a headset to replace monitors will be popular

[wheat torrent]

You think?

[carmine yew]

nobody wants to sit at work with a headset on for 6+ hours a day

[next hill]

Hmm time to turn off i guess?

[woven wigeon]

youd have a permanent red mark near your eyes

[wheat torrent]

I feel like it's much more straightforward to have a single display with high resolution to replace them all

[carmine yew]

that's a you thing, not how many other people feel

[next hill]

@carmine yew Turn off time?

[carmine yew]

may as well

if it's not started after 5 minutes, it's not going to

[wheat torrent]

Potentially useful for gaming also

How much would a triple oled high resolution setup cost you

[carmine yew]

no headset will have that resolution

[woven wigeon]

quick question: are my parents dumb for using a 1080p tv box for a oled hdr 4k tv?

[next hill]

Sooo, now take out gpu and take of cooler fan to reseat ram?

[austere crescent]

I have 2.0 and what am i supposed to connect the usb part to?

[latent gull]

Can you do OLED in a headset like that?

[wheat torrent]

Don't you have to reach retina and that's it?

[carmine yew]

post a pic of the build?

[woven wigeon]

usb 2,0 is much slower limiting your chanses for a good usb wifi adapter

[carmine yew]

yes and no

[next hill]

Rats nest ik

[austere crescent]

I'm just gonna beg my dad to get a pcie wifi card

[woven wigeon]

good

[carmine yew]

don't need to touch the GPU

You can just pop off the one fan by the clips

[next hill]

Will it be enough to take ram out?

[carmine yew]

If you pop off the top clip, you should be able to get it off

should be yes

[wheat torrent]

Right now we have 54 PPD VR as the top one

29 million pixels

[carmine yew]

54 PPD? what

[austere crescent]

I hope he goes to a pc retailer instead of a repear shop for phones

[next hill]

Its really hard, cant take it off

[wheat torrent]

Pixel per degree

[midnight meteor]

I'd like to bring up the case of, you don't see every desk with a surround multi monitor set up. Not everyone likes that, so is it hard to belive that the same idea can apply to ultrawird VR screens

[craggy cove]

if only i had the spare money and a reason to buy this

[woven wigeon]

couldnt he buy one online?

[craggy cove]

also that psu looks mighty

[carmine yew]

K&M Cables and all hardwires? Goddamn that's a vintage PSU

[vale reef]

the dust blaster 9000

[carmine yew]

Guarantee that bugger's got an 80mm fan pointed out the back

[craggy cove]

"bought new as a prebuilt"

[next hill]

Im an idiot, first time taking them off so thats why was hard

[craggy cove]

the prebuilt special

[wheat torrent]

Retina displays are +60 PPD so we are not far off, just a few more years and we will have VR displays that are as good as our vision

We are at 54 PPD atm

[carmine yew]

Monitors nor phone screens are measured in PPD, so IDK how that works

[wheat torrent]

They are

[austere crescent]

Shipping isn't available here and he refused to get a credit/debit card

[wheat torrent]

PPD is actually the better way to calculate it

[wheat torrent]

PPI considers just the area of the monitor

PPD considers the area and distance

[carmine yew]

and distance is variable

[woven wigeon]

sorry but im mind blown that some pepole dont have a credit/debit card like my lil brother whos 10 already has one

[wheat torrent]

Yes that's why PPD is used, same way monitor sizes are variable

[blazing onyx]

i mean, quest 3 has 2k x 2k

[next hill]

Hopefully i didnt just run the ram pins

[carmine yew]

which is a single 4K display effectively

[left dove]

Since yall are talking about vr headsets what's the "best" for an intro headset with minimal screen-dooring and comfort/adjustability

[carmine yew]

I can (sort of) see PPD being useful in a headset

But I can't see it being useful for a monitor or phone

[wheat torrent]

Upcoming Pimax is 7680x3840

[wheat torrent]

The bigger the monitor the higher the resolution for it to look retina

[midnight meteor]

Isn't there an issue with the quest 3 where it renders stuff in 1680x1760?
I don't own one so I could be wrong, it's just something I've heard in passing before

[wheat torrent]

A 27 inch monitor needs to be 5k to be retina

A 32 inch monitor needs to be 6k

[winged sky]

Im waiting for valve's newest addition

[left dove]

valve's making a new headset??

[winged sky]

I would love to get into vr

[blazing onyx]

First off, no clue, second off, monster hunter all the way 🤝

[next hill]

Gonna run no gpu until boot, thats why best to not go with F processor

[carmine yew]

There's a fair bit of new headset tech coming out in the next few months? So I'd wait and see.

Yes, new valve headset
Big Screen Beyond 2 just dropped

[winged sky]

https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/s/5Dro4Gx1Mo

[midnight meteor]

Hammer gang here

[carmine yew]

so I'd wait for some new reviews and hands on with new headsets

[left dove]

I mean, if it's worth I'd pay $1k for a headset

[wheat torrent]

More 5k oled monitors coming soon also

[midnight meteor]

Yeah the BSB 2 looks hype and Valve makes good stuff

[carmine yew]

Luke just paid 1K for a BSB2 and he's happy.

LUKE of all people

[austere crescent]

Yeah i live in Algéria and here people refused to work with them(old people ofc) so they were introduced this decade,like 6 years ago or something we couldn't do a lot of transaction online

[wheat torrent]

Some odd new monitor sizes also I recall might be misremembering

[blazing onyx]

See, for me, i am a college student, so im broke AF.
I also just hate the idea of having expensive base stations that have occlusion issues

[pale flint]

not how it works for me atleast

[azure topaz]

mf i literally am banned from a discord server

[verbal prawn]

It's like 15c rn

[azure topaz]

i cannot join the server on any account i make at home

[pale flint]

i am banned from servers

[carmine yew]

yer banned by my mom

[azure topaz]

if i were to get on a vpn and alt account it would work

[pale flint]

i dont use vpn

[azure topaz]

if i go back to my old ip on the new acc im still ip banned

[azure topaz]

then your ip is dynamic. good for you.

[pale flint]

and im on same server from 2 other accounts

[woven wigeon]

my place is colder

[pale flint]

hmm maybe, thats good ig

[azure topaz]

if discord themselves say they ip ban i believe it

[verbal prawn]

Vancouver ain't cold

[pale flint]

discord say a lot ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[azure topaz]

i can back it up actively though 😭

[pale flint]

well

nothing to argue about

its just that ip ban thing didnt work for me

[azure topaz]

🤝 lets make something up

[pale flint]

and i didnt know it until now lmao

[left dove]

Rutabegas rule northern idaho

[pale flint]

😭

[azure topaz]

or your ip wasn’t the same same thing

[carmine yew]

I suspect a ban can be either IP and Account or just Account

[verbal prawn]

Fun fact I accidentally triggered raid protection on my friends server once

[azure topaz]

when you ban a user in server, you don’t get an option

[pale flint]

true

[azure topaz]

you just ban. all bans are ip and account wide.

[carmine yew]

really? interesting

[azure topaz]

if your alt account ends up working all i can say is that your ip probably changed

[pale flint]

i mean what if there are 2 different users from same ip 🤔
2nd user doesnt have to face a ban because of the 1st one

[azure topaz]

i think that actually happens lol

i’ll try to join the server i’m banned on in my roomies dc acc

[pale flint]

i know a lot of people that get banned and join back from another account

well actually you are the first one that got ip banned 😂

hear me out

it makes you lock in so you can have the aura

because it only activated when your top frag

more animation results in distraction

dawg no way all are talking about that

[distant frigate]

Actually it’s worse than I thought

[ionic robin]

I just searched it up

[distant frigate]

Almost $300 in a month

[ionic robin]

it's a 3d printer

[robust trail]

The turkies are neither now or forever

fuck this shit I'm out

[distant frigate]

Lmao. Slowly increasing

[drowsy isle]

Bro fedex just left my 5080 outside no knock no notification they didn’t even bother hiding it

[carmine yew]

Bro, FedEx doesn't know what's in the box

To the fedex dude, it's one of 500 boxes in his truck today

[cosmic lance]

That delivery guy didnt liked his job lol

[carmine yew]

And be real: Do you want your boxes of expensive electronics to be labeled with what's inside the box?

[bitter crater]

move to an actual first world country where they dont just leave packages outside your door for anyone to take

[drowsy isle]

At least ring and send a notification I had to check the ring camera to realize my gpu is there

Lmao

[carmine yew]

meh

Fedex's job is to get it to your door, beyond that ain't their problem

[drowsy isle]

At least it’s not raining anymore

[frail rock]

Funny enough, here I have seen more deliveries left on door. (Which I absolutely hate) Might be the area I live in.

[idle tangle]

FedEx does notify once a delivery happens, it might just be the system running behind, TBH.

I'm surprised they didn't ring or knock, though. Here, they typically do.

[bitter crater]

where is here? i have never ever had a package left outside, always delivered to my hands or taken to the local store where you can pick it up with your id.

[frail rock]

Toronto, ON

[bitter crater]

ah yes, north america doesnt have first world countries mate

[frail rock]

I kinda agree

[idle tangle]

Is Canada not a first world country?

I'm so confused 😂

I don't really know enough about Canada TBH

[bitter crater]

they've gone to shit in recent years

[idle tangle]

Dang

Same here I suppose

[frail rock]

it is, but VetunA is somewhat correct too.

[bitter crater]

tbf a lot of countries are decaying rapidly recently

[hexed tapir]

In some Canadian provinces you can't own a credit card at 18 years of age but you can get a government assisted game ending screen at the age of 18 (depending on your health)

[rigid fjord]

depends on where you are in canada i'd guess

[drowsy isle]

You can opt for that here in the US too. Best Buy has that system too where you need to go into the store to pick up your order with an ID

[mint umbra]

Where I live packages are always just left at the door

[cosmic lance]

Apparently they will nerf the credit card thing next patch on the canadian servers, not sure tho

[cosmic lance]

Where i live i go pickup my packages myself

[tulip depot]

Acting like moving countries is an easy, quick and cheap process

[vague talon]

Is this an am5 bracket?

[left dove]

[drowsy isle]

We got microcenter nearby, why would I move

[left dove]

had to, sorry

[vague talon]

Nah but really, is it? ;-;

[left dove]

no

[vague talon]

Shit

[left dove]

LGA 115x

[open cedar]

where is the fancy floatplane role again

[left dove]

you have it

[unborn condor]

How do I tell if my BIOS is the latest version?

[gleaming rose]

$4 for a fucking bag of peanut mnms

[ebon marlin]

going into bios to check ur version and then check if there's newer versions than that

https://tenor.com/view/cat-clown-matrix-clown-costume-gif-17340123

[clear canyon]

be sure to unplug ur pc as its updating the bios :D

[unborn condor]

Do I trust the already-applied thermal paste on my 6800xt's cooler?

[ripe spire]

Would https://www.amazon.co.uk/monitor-Triple-ultrawide-standard-Version/dp/B0FFYX2V83/ this, work on curved monitors?

[random gyro]

if it is new

if not, no

Get some PTM7950 if you reapply anyway

[manic fjord]

is this ok to play games

[random gyro]

seems good

Only 8GB VRAM is not good tho. Kinda small amount in 2025

[unborn condor]

I think I'm just gonna use the Peerless Assassin 120 SE for it instead, I didn't know that the 5800XT came with a cooler, and it looks like they forgot the brackets anyways. 120 SE is a better cooler anyway

[trim lark]

I have a question it is not about computers, but it is tech related Is it worth upgrading to the new iPhone if you have the iPhone 16 pro max or no

[unborn condor]

And I got Arctic MX-4 thermal compound

[random gyro]

You said 6800XT i thought you meant a GPU Cooler

How Cheap is the Arctic Freezer 36 for you?

Its smaller than the Assassin 120 SE and just as powerfull

[unborn condor]

Sorry I meant the 5800xt, the processor

[random gyro]

Yee

[unborn condor]

Well I don't see that it came with any brackets

[random gyro]

Freezer 36 is Compatible with AM4, AM5 and Intel 1700 and 1851

[ebon marlin]

isn't the freezer 36 a single tower cooler

it's not really comparable to Assassin 120 SE as it's a dual tower cooler

[random gyro]

Yes, and still just as good (or very near) as the 120 SE

[ebon marlin]

dual tower will be significantly better than single tower

[unborn condor]

Perhaps I misspoke, what I mean is it doesn't come with these:

[ebon marlin]

lots of different coolers will have their own brackets/cooling mounts

[random gyro]

What was that?

[unborn condor]

the cpu cooler packaged with the 5800xt did not come with the brackets that I'm pointing to in the instruction manual

[ebon marlin]

the brackets come with ur motherboard

the cpu cooler only has those clipons

[ebon marlin]

so it's worse and runs louder thanks for proving my point

[random gyro]

2,5°C and its significantly smaller

[unborn condor]

They did not.

[random gyro]

Not louder thanks for proving you cant read

Its normalised at 35dbA

[ebon marlin]

what do you mean

they come preinstalled in motherboards

[ebon marlin]

still worse man

in every way

https://tenor.com/view/cat-explain-tired-cat-tired-gif-8193494768301164900

[unborn condor]

Nope

[random gyro]

its 2 degrees man, the CPU doesnt care if it is at 70°C or at 72,5°C

Also its way smaller and doesnt interfere with RAM

And at least here in germany its also cheaper

[ebon marlin]

I own the same exact cooler haven't had any issues with ram

[unborn condor]

...aaaaaaand the 120 SE didn't come with them either. great.

[ebon marlin]

well yeah cuz the bracket is part of ur motherboard

[random gyro]

Cool for you, not for others. The Fan does overhang and covers the first RAM Slots

As you can clearly see

[unborn condor]

This is literally what was attached to the motherboard.

[ebon marlin]

Idk man looks flush to me

[hexed tapir]

Twist and pull while it's warm

To help mitigate that

[random gyro]

Man wtf it overhangs like nothing else over all the RAM Slots. if you have RGB DIMMs it will Block it

[ebon marlin]

@unborn condor thermalright has their own stuff for mounting the cooler should be similar to my picture

[unborn condor]

I'm not looking to remove the 3600 that is currently attached to the old cooler, I'm trying to install the NEW cooler with my new 5800xt

[ebon marlin]

I had rgb dimms before in this same computer and didn't have any issues whatsoever with it

Sold the rgb dimms since I got a new kit of ram for free

I had Corsair RGB Vengeance

All this yapping to glaze a worse cooler this is psychotic

get a job or something

[hexed tapir]

Get in on the Corsair ram lawsuit

[random gyro]

You dont understand me. I didnt say you will have problems. Even if you have big DIMMS you could just put the Fan to a higher Position if the Case allows it, but you will be still blocking the sight on your RAM

[ebon marlin]

the what now

I'm not american so can't

Finland supremacy type shit

Oh nvm

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/yapping-quit-yapping-yap-waffle-stfu-gif-2451949384988892352

[unborn condor]

Found brackets! It was hiding in a suspiciously camouflaged white box inbetween the heat sinks.

[random gyro]

All the yapping just to defend your choice of cooler is psychotic. I never said its better or that he should buy either of them. I just gave him a choice and then your fanboi butt came in here to defend your own cooler.

[ebon marlin]

[random gyro]

Very mature. But thats apparently what you need to do when you run out of arguments

[ebon marlin]

oh yeah I remember my stuff came like that aswell
