I hate reddit seriously but there is no real alternative. I dug up my old gamil this account is connected to to reset a password after a post on my account got it disabled and banned. That seems to have fixed that but it deleted the post and it still won't let me message the moderators of the subreddit. (I have a few questions about stuff anyways.) Just says unknown error followed by message sent in the background at the bottom of the page. Anyone able to help me with what's going on I kinda need to message them.

I don't know if this is the right channel or even the right server. I am a college engineering student and I am making a custom "entertainment center" I am disassembling a bunch of different gaming consoles and putting them in the "entertainment center" with a custom water-cooling system. I am currently trying to decide how I am going to provide disk to the consoles that require them. I was wondering if there was a way to have 1 cd drive for all the systems or to each brand of system so that it would be less cluttered and more streamline. is this possible?

yeah you need either a mounting dock or a cable that supplies enough power

you need a sata data and sata power cable

yes

oh shit i said mounting dock instead of just dock

but besides that yes

that wasn't the issue 😭 its cable that supplies enough power statement lol

opaque bay

#

They take the same amount of power internal or external, the actual difference is that most usb>sata external adapters only give 5v, 3.5" drives take 12v

#

so you need an externally powered usb>sata adapter

Guys how long will a 9060xt 16gb 3 fan sapphire nitro+ last me ? I will play in 1080p 100hz for now and might get a new monitor with 180hz but res will always be 1080p
I wanna play games like Forza,GTA,spiderman etc etc story games and some fps games like Fortnite and valorent. At which settings can I play the story games and how much fps will I get ?

#

I'm preferring those cases where I can stick a 3 fan aio on top and have 3 fans at front (not aquarium case)

#

I want something that's as sleek and looks premium like the gpu

clear canyon
#

there isnt a point really for getting the fancy versions

#

besides looks and cooling peformance

#

but most perform the same

tidal grove
clear canyon
tidal grove
clear canyon
#

thats fair

#

just be aware ur gonna pay extra for looks

tidal grove
#

sure no problem

#

I just want something that's gonna look super clean and asthetic like my gpu

clear canyon
#

also, dont get the OC version

#

its a waste of money

tidal grove
#

OC of gpu ?

clear canyon
#

there are OC versions that come factory "overclocked" but you pay a premium for them when you can buy the non-OC one (even same cooler design) and just do it through MSI afterburner and get the same thing

#

for free

tidal grove
#

I was planning on this

clear canyon
#

the OC vs non OC has basicaly no peformance difference

tidal grove
#

There is another one without oc which is 30$ cheaper and has 2 fans and is not the nitro+

#

I don't have much options rn the store only sells this

clear canyon
#

that would be up to you, but normally rn, the OC is like way more expensive

tidal grove
#

I'm paying extra 30$ mainly for the looks

#

It's not here that much

#

Just 30$ which I can do

clear canyon
#

ur option being 30 bucks more a better cooler and slightly better peformance is nice

tidal grove
#

The only other option that's 30$ less

#

it looks kinda ugly

clear canyon
#

thats fine to get the 3 fan as it will cool better and stay quieter

#

and you like the looks better

#

the ones I was talking about share the same cooler and everything, but the difference is one is an OC and the other isnt and there is like a $100-$300 difference

#

and its bs

tidal grove
#

Oh,and can you suggest some cases ?

#

Since I was gonna eventually buy another case and my gpu won't fit in my current one perfectly

#

I was thinking something clean that has good airflow

#

@clear canyon

sage ocean
clear canyon
tidal grove
#

Are they good ?

#

And can I fit a 360mm aio in the top and 3 fans at front ?

clear canyon
clear canyon
#

looked it up, it only supports it in the front

tidal grove
#

It can fit my 9060xt which I will get right ? (3 fan one)

clear canyon
#

but its a solid case

clear canyon

# clear canyon but its a solid case

Yeah,I liked these types of cases that are not too flashy but still super clean and have huge spaces inside of them.Are there any other choices? I would like to check them out and make a decision

Guys i am divided between buying a pc/laptop the age old debate.

I am a mech engg student and CAD designing is a big focus of my work. I do love gaming as well, have almost all AAA titles you can imagine but i dont have a machine to play them on.

I have a laptop, which has amd ryzen 5 5600H (apu, has no dgpu)

My budget is around 2100-2200 usd. What should i go forward with?

i might actually pull the trigger on one, and I dont want to have a fire

swift kestrel
#

Get a 5080 then

#

Or if you want AMD get their best one

cold skiff
#

It’s do it with load balancing across each individual pin and the GPUs inability to regulate

It’s a little more complicated but that’s the base of it

cold skiff

What you said was wrong.

swift kestrel
#

That is one of the things that melt

cold skiff
#

It’s not about the thickness of the cables

swift kestrel
#

Oh what

cold skiff
swift kestrel
#

So wow it doesn't matter how high quality or thick the copper is

#

It just melts because it's not enough

cold skiff
#

Let’s just go with that. As I haven’t got a long time to explain it

#

Equally watch a derbauer video on it

rigid fjord
#

as where the cable is concerned, both pins and cable are designed for 8.5A but where the 4090 and 5090 are concerned (especially the 5090) you can cut all but 2 cables and end up with 50A being shoved down it instead

cold skiff
#

I think the Astral is the only 5090 that you can’t do that to. You can push it but you can’t take it down to 2 wires.

rigid fjord
rigid fjord

#

@rigid fjord now how do i know what ssd uses that specific controller

cold skiff

The cable thickness matters much less than the load balancing is the issue.

cold skiff

I thought derbauer did it with the astral and it shut off after snipping 2 cables on the astral

#

@cold skiff@swift kestrel actual design flaw thanks to nvidia

cold skiff
#

Yeah I know the design flaw. It’s
 kind of a major fuck up in several ways

rigid fjord
#

Nvidia didn't make any design improvements and is now using it for 5090s which for certain AIB variants can exceed 600W. While 4090 is a design downgrade from 3090Ti which had certain protections built-in so that you couldn't cut 5 out of 6 cables and keep the card still running. But this is completely possible on 40 and 50 series - i.e. delivering all the current via single cable until meltdown. It is now consensus of most electrical engineers that Nvidia's design is inexplicable as it leaves no safety margin thus even a slight deviation from ideal scenario can create meltdown or potential fire hazard scenario

summer token
#

Diy fire starter

rigid fjord
#

there's no proper load balancing for both 40 and 50 series

cold skiff
#

I remember Linus shoved that heavy duty connector and cable on

#

That was fun to watch

rigid fjord
#

the protection for that is gone

limpid dune
cold skiff

Yea the astral has no load balancing but it has per pin monitoring. Once one hits red line it shuts down.

So that’s something

limpid dune
# summer token How is nvidia so reckless

(putting on my tinfoil hat) Nvidia doesn't want the 4090/5090 to replace the professional cards, so they made them just a little unreliable, not unreliable enough that people will stop buying them BUT unreliable enough the buisinesses will buy the professional cards instead

#

Not their fault at being good but yeah, it will end up that way

rigid fjord
rigid fjord
limpid dune
#

I mean, Nvidia isn't really a conglomerate, it's a single company. Google is getting broken up because they're an ad company AND a search engine AND a file storage thing AND a word processor AND an email client AND etc etc. and that leads to issues of unfair cross-market manipulation

Nvidia isn't a conglomerate, they're just a huge company, and currently buisinesses are willing to buy H200s at literally triple the cost of manufacture and that's that. Yes they might get attacked for being a monopoly, but that's not a breakup

cold skiff
#

Once you begin to see AI industry, CPU industry, GPU industry etc etc it will have to go that way. I mean they’ll end up in high end robotics themselves eventually

you just put the block on the GPU

now, since an AIO has the resivour built into the rad, will the dual resivour system have issues, being all in one loop? would it be better to have the CPU eisbaer and gpu eiswolf seperate?

so uh
a few questions
1 - I've heard before that dual-rank RAM has performance benefits. Does this still apply with more recent hardware?
2 - In the case that it does, what do I have to look out for to make sure I'm getting those benefits? I know AMD lists the memory speeds its CPUs support with dual-rank RAM, but I was wondering if there was something like a motherboard limitation I should look out for.
3 - How do I tell if RAM is single- or dual-rank without buying and testing it? I assume that it's listed in different places for different bands and that some might not even list it at all, but I'm wondering if yall know which brands do list it and where.

Dual rank consists of two sets of memory dies on a single dimm, dual channel refers to the two separate channels for signals that modern consumer chips have

grizzled frost
#

it is best to populate 1 dimm per channel, single rank is technically most able to be overclocked, but dual rank will still run at 6000mt/s 1dpc just fine

grizzled frost

#

And thats why i recommend 48 over 64GB for gaming

true stirrup
grizzled frost
#

Nice, though that's going to depend on the exact kit and chip

brave brook
grizzled frost
#

the reason 6000mt/s is the recommendation is that is about the upper limit that 99% of 7800x3d's can do, quite a few can do more, but it isn't a guarantee

unkempt badge
#

Gskill, Teamgroup and Adata have been my picks for that

If it's gear 2 that sucks ass

grizzled frost

#

If it's 6400MT/s gear 2 that's significantly worse than gear 1 6000MT/s

grizzled frost
#

go check

unkempt badge
#

I just use EXPO

#

I will when im home

analog tiger
grizzled frost
#

correct, 16gb sticks are almost certainly single rank

#

24gb is where you see some dual rank dimms, but it's mostly single rank, anything 32 and up will almost all be dual rank

Somewhere around there yeah

The heatsink of the m.2 slot is bigger than the ssd size. Will the screw, provided with the ssd mess up with the heat displacement?

ebon marlin

Nah and eitherway you have a gen4 drive a heatsink is completely optional

#

A very low end gen4 drive aswell

#

Only gen5 drives require cooling

cosmic lance

Or DRAM drives

#

Them controllers do like being hot

ebon marlin
#

Not really

#

I have a high end gen4 drive with like 2gb of dram and it's completely fine without cooling aswell

#

You'll only need cooling on those type of drives if you only do synthetic tests on ur drive

Aslong as the drive stays within it's operating range it's fine

Hey squad, so I was interested if anyone's using VA triple screen and how's your viewing angles on a newer VA models?
I had old triple VA setup in the past and I remember that side monitors were much yellowish because of the viewing angles

#

I'm planning to order 3 monitors and I can't decide between VA and IPS

grizzled frost
#

don't buy VA

#

VA is inferior in almost every way

#

buy IPS

wild bear
grizzled frost
#

they have worse viewing angles and motion blur

wild bear
#

Yeah, but some reviews say that new VA panels have better viewing angles, I was curious if anyone had triples so they can tell if it's worth it.
because IPS glow and contrast is horrible

ebon marlin
#

VA is good and better than IPS aslong as you get a good VA monitor

grizzled frost
#

if you really care about contrast go OLED

ebon marlin
#

Miniled VA for example is the only OLED competitor we have currently

wild bear
#

I just sold my OLED, don't blame me I couldn't afford second one and I needed multiple monitors for work

ebon marlin
#

huh

wild bear
#

I wouldn't put IPS/VA alongside OLED

ebon marlin
#

huh

solar moat
#

any one got a arrow lake cpu?

ebon marlin
#

I use OLED + IPS

#

OLED for games and IPS on the side for media consumption

vital roost
wild bear
#

Nah I didn't

#

I made a small profit

ebon marlin
#

to use multiple monitors you don't need to use same monitors

grizzled frost
ebon marlin
#

eh better off buying miniled monitors used

wild bear
#

my brain hurts on a huge mismatch like that

#

it's either 2-3 oled or 2-3 ips

ebon marlin
#

i think a simpler term is autism

I'm stuck on my 3 matching monitors from 2016 until I can afford 3 of the new ones I want KEKW

vital roost
#

OLED has gotten a lot cheaper recently as far as I can tell, therefore what would be against waiting for a decent sale and then buying oled?

wild bear
#

Well I made a profit and I can buy a better OLED screen anyway, so the sale was reasonable.

ebon marlin
#

I have a 27" Gigabyte OLED and then a 23" IPS HP Office monitor

wild bear
#

I had Samsung G8

proper gull
wild bear
#

I'm thinking to get newer Samsung G50d

#

either 27 or 32 triples

proper gull
#

Unless your desk is massive 32s would be too much

wild bear
#

still gonna wall mount it

proper gull
#

Still need the desk width unless you want them going past the edge

wild bear
#

but yeah 32s massive, also never had 1440p 32"
Im thinking the ppi would be as bad as it was on 1080p 27"

rigid fjord

#

Maybe as a main monitor the Asus Swift OLED PG32UCDMZ, it has gotten pretty cheap on sale, especially compared to the specs it offers (on sale priced similar or even cheaper than the g8 on sale where I live)

wild bear
#

Yeah idk, I have like 7 different monitor options

#

or I can just go for this

#

$200 profit and a better panel than 34" g8

ebon marlin
#

I'd wait for more tandem oleds to release

Sorry if this is the wrong chat for it or a dumb question, but due to the release of the new series of apple watches the retailers near me are clearing their stock and getting rid of them for relatively cheap (compared to normal prices, here are apple products rarely on discount). E.g the ultra 2 with the black titanium wrist band can be bought for (converted) 760usd compared to other retailers which are at least 900 usd for the 2nd gen, apple catalogue price is 1065 usd for the 3rd gen with the same configuration. I currently have, or rather had, the series 5, but I broke the display by accidentally hitting something (after 6 years of everyday use). That’s why I wanted to ask, if the 2nd Gen Ultra Watch is worth its (reduced) price and does someone know/have experience about its durability? Thanks for any advice in advance
