if he can he could try snagging a rtx 3050 for cheap

[ebon marlin]

hell naw

[summer token]

i snagged mine brand new for like 100 bucks

[ebon marlin]

5700xt is slightly faster than 3060 12gb and can be found very easily for 100usd

[summer token]

ooo

yeah if he can get that for cheap he should

[robust trail]

@dull zinc the firmware has reallocate more sectors than the maximum safe amount. Back that shit up son, replace it.

[agile gale]

Okay, thanks, Yeah, I just assumed X would be the choice. Always hear tech videos raving about 5600x 5700x etc etc. As you can tell I'm a newb with the builds ahah. Thanks, ill check out canada comupters for the parts

[dull zinc]

ty ill try it

[dawn tundra]

Yes but not really you want the problem to not really be there in the first place cuz as soon as it starts it's just going to keep piling up and piling up to the point where it's going to ruin your print

[robust trail]

don't do that

[dull zinc]

yeah am just gonna back what i can and throw it

[dreamy aspen]

why shouldn't he?

[dawn tundra]

Sorry for the bad photos I had to take this one-handed backwards with the front of my phone camera

[robust trail]

You can't repair a bad sector, it is physically bad not logically

hdd regen beats the piss out of that sector and the HDD head

[dawn tundra]

@summer token this one

[craggy cove]

@azure topaz nevermind the ram blocks the aio anyway lol

[summer token]

at first i was gonna suggest you to sand it

[craggy cove]

what do i even do with this thing

[robust trail]

if the data isn't important? have at it. If it is, don't risk it. I did physical data recovery for about a decade, in a clean room lab and that software tears shit apart

[summer token]

but this is a tough one

[azure topaz]

tkae off heatsink

[dawn tundra]

Yeah I know this is 0.1 mm thick

[robust trail]

deep sparrrrr! 😄

[azure topaz]

solution is always the same

[limber swallow]

end of story
i am getting high end 360 aio and high end thermal paste
THERMALRIGHT Frozen Notte 360 BLACK ARGB
THERMALRIGHT TF9

[craggy cove]

15€ + 5€ (shipping) + 5€ am4 bracket

[azure topaz]

hairdryer/heatgun/soak in ipa for 15 minutes

[craggy cove]

nah literally 0 chance it's fitting

[azure topaz]

do not just raw dog the heatsinks

[craggy cove]

i tried with naked dimms

[azure topaz]

oh L

[summer token]

how good is that paste compared to like an mx-6

[azure topaz]

L case ig

[craggy cove]

true

[azure topaz]

better

but its thermal paste

the swing is like 3c

[ivory mountain]

another year more ass lets go 🔥

[craggy cove]

getting fucked by a cheap case counter x3

[azure topaz]

longevity is more important

[dawn tundra]

Isn't like some of the best Pace still like thermal grizzly kryonaught

[summer token]

ooo in that case i might get that instead of the mx-6

i cant wait to get my 5500

[craggy cove]

"240mm aio support"

[azure topaz]

well it is but its for sub 0 and is not durable

[craggy cove]

what fucking aio

[azure topaz]

hence the name "kryo"

get duronaught

[dawn tundra]

Till then MX6 is the best for standard use?

[azure topaz]

i think its naut

[ivory mountain]

peak (i use mx6)

[azure topaz]

i use duronaut

i buy big tubes and apply to everything

[summer token]

i checked duronaught i heard its the best but its not a good long term paste

[dawn tundra]

I probably go with duro not then since you recommended it I was planning on getting some thermal grizzly paste anyway but

[azure topaz]

mf its in the name

kryonaut is the one thats not durable

duro naut like the name suggests is designed for long term usage

[summer token]

whats the best then in your opinion

[azure topaz]

duronaut/anything else you find to last a long time

[summer token]

the tf9 or the duro

[azure topaz]

paste is literalyl the least important choice you could care about this much for

wont hold u

[ebon marlin]

pal is waiting for abysmal dogshit

[azure topaz]

use the shit that comes on ur cooler

[summer token]

your right but its nice to check on the little details too

[azure topaz]

the little details that genuinely dont matter?

[summer token]

i would get the 5600 but then id have to delay and its better then my 3400g

[azure topaz]

ive used 93 cents for 20g pastes before

[dawn tundra]

Oh also I figured out that if I want to I can put some of the little thin strips of waste into the filament in Port it just goes into the same spot seems to work pretty well

[ebon marlin]

ur 5500 is basically a 6 core 3400g

[azure topaz]

it was bad but was the computer well in temp spec? hell yeah it was lol

why are we doing these comparisons

ur 5500 is a 5600G

[summer token]

fine ill just wait till i can get the 5600 😔

[azure topaz]

👍 better choice

[ebon marlin]

same shit both ass

[azure topaz]

exactly but one of them is "ur cpu is basically this except its not"

and the other one is "ur cpu is basically this"

[ebon marlin]

5500 has half the l3 cache of the 5600 which is really important

[azure topaz]

yes so does the 5600g

[ebon marlin]

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

[craggy cove]

5600g 20€ more expensive than a 5600 cause y not

[azure topaz]

G sku

[ebon marlin]

cause igpu

[craggy cove]

used its cheaper tho

[azure topaz]

yeah cause its slower

[summer token]

integrated graphics to scam children to buy no gpu prebuilts

[azure topaz]

even if they put a gpu in they get gimped on performance

half cache shitter cpus

no more powerful than a 3600 in games

[summer token]

bro what

[ebon marlin]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/882097434593988608/1182915009228054611/conductor_we_have_a_problem.gif

[summer token]

did he just say

[craggy cove]

feeling like mussolini

sold a 5600g and 3050 6gb pc

[summer token]

the devil

[craggy cove]

hey i got it for 50€ + 25€ broken ram replacement

[summer token]

sell that to some fortnite streamer kid and put lots of rgb in it

[craggy cove]

340€ is an okay price i think

was missing the side panel for whatever reason

[summer token]

did you get a replacement

[craggy cove]

nope

just wrote "helps with temperatures"

worked evidently

[summer token]

fair enough

if they dislike it so much just put cardboard as the side panel

[craggy cove]

or just dustmaxx

shit had 0 case fans anyway

hmm did it spread bad or what

[summer token]

whats up with that mid part

btw are there such thing as mini/small aios

[craggy cove]

the middle was kinda empty on the cpu too

[craggy cove]

this is shit/ass

[flat cliff]

I did figure it out and I would love to find a replacement for reddit but I don't know one and just give it up I'd need to replace it or idk if I can do that?

[azure topaz]

well thats where it spread good

everything else was bad

its not making contact with the edges of the cpu

[craggy cove]

so this cooler just sucks at everything

or i mounted it wrong

[azure topaz]

the whole point of paste is to be as thin of a layer just to fill in micro gaps between the cpu and the coldplate

thicker parts where you can see the complete color of the paste and no cold plate are areas of bad contact

[summer token]

i was thinking when i get the 5600 ill just spread the paste then put a lil bit on the middle

[azure topaz]

it doesnt matter

[summer token]

why not

[azure topaz]

do a lil x pattern and call it good

[azure topaz]

wasted time because it genuinely does nothing

on a bare die sure on an ihs spreading is just not needed

[summer token]

what do you think is better the pea or the x

[craggy cove]

pea jf its amd

[azure topaz]

uh

pea probably wont cover the entire cpu ihs

[azure topaz]

you uhhh flipped it

[craggy cove]

bigger pea

[azure topaz]

amd cpus have multiple dies that need cooling (more toward the bottom)

intel is just one blob in the middle of the cpu

[summer token]

i feel like if i did an x shape some of it might spill to the side or is that something i dont have to worry about

[azure topaz]

ding

spillage just means you put too much but that does nothing besides, yknow, squish out like its supposed to

[summer token]

so when im pasting it i should focus on the area of those two big chips

[azure topaz]

no just go everywhee but so you could see what i mean

[summer token]

yeah fair enough

inspirational knowledge

[azure topaz]

use the whole ihs its not like there wont be heat elsewhere

and "focusing" an area doesnt mean its going to have better cooling than other areas

[craggy cove]

hmm i just went off ihs shape, good to know

[azure topaz]

like if i draw an x on an am4 cpu, the places where the thermalpaste is first arent going to cool better

you want it to be thin the cooler will spread the paste and remove any air while you mount it

so the "spread to remove air bubbles" thing is a myth

youe literally squeezing 2 pieces of metal together with pounds of force

[summer token]

wait since im not really getting the 5600 this month and i have some money lying around i should prob get better ram

32gb would be sweet

[azure topaz]

3200 or whatever is fine

oh capacity yeah 32gb yes

[summer token]

ddr4 is really affordable nowadays

[azure topaz]

yeah you can get good quality oc sticks for cheap now too

relatively, anyways

[summer token]

i was thinking of like kingston

[azure topaz]

oc sticks aka samsung b die memory ic's basically every other factor is irrelevant especially for daily

[summer token]

samsung has ram sticks?

[azure topaz]

samsung is the biggest manufacturer of dram on the planet

not just like, for computers

[craggy cove]

32gb ddr4 costs the same as 32gb of ddr5

[azure topaz]

brand new yes

[craggy cove]

atleast here

[azure topaz]

dont buy your 10 year old ddr4 ram brand new and you wont have this problem

[craggy cove]

even the used stuff

[azure topaz]

its not being produced at scale anymore

[summer token]

used is like 40 bucks i think

[craggy cove]

3200mhz g skill 32gb went for 70€...

[summer token]

where i am at

[azure topaz]

here in the states its like 40-50$ for a 32gb 3200 kit used

[craggy cove]

damn

[azure topaz]

and for decent oc sticks you can get a bdie kit for 30-40$

but ofc would be 16gb

[summer token]

but yeah moving from 12 to 32 gigs will be nice

[empty quartz]

Mrrp :3

[azure topaz]

yeah if ur buying d4 for oc purposes tho and buy any other ic you stupid

[summer token]

nothing really overclocking just for general use

[azure topaz]

yeah then whatever is good

maybe see if 3600 kits arent much more cause may as well

[summer token]

yeah 3600 is still quite pricey but 3200 is pretty affordable

[azure topaz]

most if not all 3200 kits can clock to 3600

[summer token]

how much power does that even take

[azure topaz]

not

[summer token]

and will i have to worry about it baking like an oven

[azure topaz]

ram doesnt draw any meaningful amount of power ina a desktop computer

ddr5 sticks, 7600 c32 at a blistering 1.66v only drew 7.250w peak lol

[summer token]

Thats crazy

But yeah 144hz monitor and a ram upgrade will be sweet

[azure topaz]

yus

[summer token]

Ill have to stick with my 3400 for now

😔

[azure topaz]

least you dont have something too terrible like my sister who just got a 1400 rig lol

[summer token]

Your righr

[azure topaz]

although it is the best memory controller on a 1400 that i can find in the planet

[summer token]

I need to remember my roots of using an i3 laptop

[azure topaz]

just does 3400mhz xmp lol

[summer token]

This was the real nightmare

[azure topaz]

i had worse ur chillin

[summer token]

Intel celeron

[azure topaz]

core 2 duo t6670 based laptop iirc

dell e5 6420 or something

[summer token]

Was my first laptop

😭

[azure topaz]

it was old when i got it too im not old

[summer token]

I remember doing all kind of tweaks to even run tf2

[azure topaz]

dawg all i could play was max payne LMAOOO

if you know the earlier games you know they ran on like potato potatos

[summer token]

God i hate how much i sucked up to the dealer back then "oh yeah this can do all kinds of gaming"

[azure topaz]

yeah independent research will do u right

[summer token]

I remember like a 4 years ago when i got my first laptop mentioning it here and got absolutely shat on

Thats when i learnt the money i spent could have been put to better use

[azure topaz]

a universal experience

[azure topaz]

yep lol

[latent gull]

Fx series moment

[azure topaz]

same thing i bought another core 2 duo laptop unkowningly trying to upgrade from my core 2 duo

[summer token]

My first desktop was an fx series but it only lasted like a month or 2

[azure topaz]

cause i had some M variant of another dell laptop that waas in fact newer but M meant last gen or some shit so it didnt have sandy bridge but a core 2 duo

[latent gull]

I ran on an fx4000 from 2015 to like 2022

[stray portal]

What phone should I get for like 800 euros of a bit less

[azure topaz]

fx4300 if you were lucky

by 2020 i had an i7 3770 and an rx 570

[summer token]

800 euros can get you basically almost anything (except a new iPhone)

[azure topaz]

midway thru or like end of 2020/2021 i got a 7700k and my rx 570 had long died and i went thru many gpus ending with a GTX 980

[latent gull]

Don’t think so. It was marketed as a quad core but it was that bullshit where it only had 2 physically cores and 4 virtual

[azure topaz]

then i sold my 980 for another rx 570 (crazy deal, trust)

then i bought a 1080

[stray portal]

It can get me an iphone 16

[summer token]

My first dedicated gpu was a gtx 1060 i think

[stray portal]

But I've decided I don't like iphones

[azure topaz]

then 2070s then 3080 then 7800xt then 5070ti

[summer token]

I flipped that pc and saved the money

[latent gull]

I went from a fx4000 and a GT730 to a 5800x and a 3070

[azure topaz]

this is what i consider "fast computer era"

[empty quartz]

My workstations ram pulls 130W

[azure topaz]

your workstations ram is a ddr3 ecc server with 8 sticks

[sharp ivy]

I have a t6600 laptop

[azure topaz]

or worse its the ddr2 ecc server iwth like 12 sticks lol

[summer token]

Tbh what do you do to need that much of upgrades

[sharp ivy]

and it's not horrible

[azure topaz]

dawg i want a 5090

[summer token]

A 3080 would last pretty long

[latent gull]

Need? No, never need

[azure topaz]

not past the 2070s really no

but i enjoy the fast computer and a wide range of hw to overclock so i often swap

i went thru an insane amount of cpus too i just truncated it

[summer token]

Id kill for a 3080 i always liked the 30 series when my other uncle let me play around on his 30 series pc

I forgot if it was a 70 or a 80

[latent gull]

I tried a 7800xt but it wasn’t doing better than my 3070 so I returned it and just am still rocking the 3070. Only game I’ve struggled with is BL4, for obvious fucking reasons

[stray portal]

I probably don't wanna get chinese slop but also don't know

[azure topaz]

this computer, the 13900ks and 5070ti is my first on generation computer

[summer token]

I mean what do you intend to do

[azure topaz]

and its not even on generation cause the 13900ks is technically 2 gens old

the 2070s was when 40 series was about to launch iirc

3080 a little in the middle of it

[azure topaz]

then i bought a 7800xt which was also on gen but no faster than the 3080

[distant frigate]

Lmao. Asymmetrical fiber. Doesn’t make sense

[summer token]

40 series is cool but the prices of it back then made me look away

[azure topaz]

then the 5070ti which is my firstlike actually new gpu

[distant frigate]

Australian fiber is weird

[azure topaz]

my job wasnt great then

[latent gull]

Yeah 7800xt was a bit of a let down for me

[azure topaz]

yeah its a pos

fawk that thing

[latent gull]

Drivers were terrible and it just wasn’t better than a 30 series card for cheaper

[azure topaz]

its like, 10% faster than the 3080, i dont hate it that much but it was very very very very very underwhelming from my already good 3080

no features and yhr drrivers literally uninstalled themselves off my computer 3 times

i only had the card for 8 months or something

how does this happen bro

[latent gull]

I didn’t even see that increase compared to my 3070, idk if I wasn’t using it right or what, but I saw almost no differences at all

[azure topaz]

i had to slam clocks and i had a high end model

[stray portal]

I want good camera and screen I take photos watch videos and movies, I want long battery life and etc

[azure topaz]

even then i had super shit vram and couldnt clock it at all

so i just forced the core to run at nearly 3ghz all the time

[latent gull]

Yeah mine was an asus tuff and I just let it run stock

[azure topaz]

yeah i hated mine

3/10 oc experience
5/10 general experience

[stray portal]

https://tenor.com/view/tuff-sick-wow-wowsers-minecraft-gif-10059021701103936359

[azure topaz]

at 500$ it was just

blegh

vs readily available higher end 3080s at 350-400$

[dawn tundra]

I think I figured out the issue the s1 has a little fan to help cool the extruded plastic but the thing is is that if it cools too fast it will shrink I think that's what was happening cuz I don't think I turned off the fan this time and it's not happening anymore

[summer token]

i think my best bet is just buying a 50 series

[azure topaz]

5070ti is great

i do like it a lot but yknow faster computer is possible and i want it

[summer token]

gpu stocks here are pretty good where i live so i dont have to worry about shortages

[dawn tundra]

Is it tho?

[latent gull]

I upgraded to am5 this year but I might try another gpu next year

[azure topaz]

yes..?

inb4 complaining about 16gb vram

[latent gull]

How much does it have?

[azure topaz]

16 lol

[dawn tundra]

Would it be a very noticeable difference from my 4060

[latent gull]

wtf that’s fine

[azure topaz]

no shit sherlock lmao unless youve got garbo cpu

[summer token]

whats ideal for like 1080p for vram

[azure topaz]

id say 8

[wheat torrent]

love myself some 1tb of vram

[summer token]

one day

[azure topaz]

10 can break into 1440p gaming 12 reco anything higher is more than enough for 1440p

[dawn tundra]

I-5 124000 f

[summer token]

one day but not today

[wheat torrent]

let me see how much it costs to rent 1tb

[latent gull]

8 has been perfectly fine on my 3070 at 1440p, only run into one issue, and it’s fucking BL4, so I mean, grain of salt and all that

[azure topaz]

yeah

apex legends at 1440p max will take 10gb on my 5070ti

so thats why i say 10 minimum for 1440p break in

[dawn tundra]

My cpu

[summer token]

i mainly play emulation rn

[azure topaz]

i feel like most 1440p gamers are targeting max settings

[summer token]

specifically nintendo (in a legal way trust)

[azure topaz]

or yknow a mix of balanced settings targeting max

[latent gull]

I can see that, not a game I play though. I also rarely run any upscaler or RT or anything. I can run most stuff on high/max without RT

[azure topaz]

lowering intensive ones like maybe vram related (textures) or AA

[dawn tundra]

I actually forgot that GTA 5 offers low end rt for the Xbox x

[summer token]

i might try apex/fortnite but which one is more space friendly

[azure topaz]

i use DLSS in applications i feel like i get al ow frame rate

[latent gull]

I had to turn a few things down in 2077 even without RT, but I also wasn’t Upscaling

[azure topaz]

fortnite is 100+ gigs unless they changed it

[wheat torrent]

1120 GB vram

[azure topaz]

apex, like, 70

[ocean axle]

thats not one GPU

[summer token]

last time i downloaded fortnite it was less

[wheat torrent]

a few

[summer token]

how the hell is it 100 now

[azure topaz]

i havent in a bit so grain of salt

but like kinda recently maybe within a year

[dawn tundra]

I'm actually curious what one of those Chinese 128 GB 50 90s is like

[summer token]

ill try apex then

[fickle ivy]

Omg I don't even wanna touch these school keyboard, it's supposed to be matte

[azure topaz]

i dont think theres a memory config possible on the 5090 that does 128gb

[summer token]

holy dust magnet

to be fair im running a shitty asus optical keyboard

[azure topaz]

surface keyboard takes worst

[summer token]

i cant replace it yet cause i feel like i wasted my money getting it recently

[azure topaz]

this thang sucks but the rest of the device is good

[summer token]

im on a asus k1 keyboard

[swift moss]

define bad design

[summer token]

this is what im running rn

really mid

[dawn tundra]

Sorry pasted the wrong link https://www.techpowerup.com/340771/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5090-gets-128-gb-vram-capacity-mod

[swift moss]

;-; bios designers be like

[summer token]

yes this will be enough to play borderlands 4 on low

[azure topaz]

lol

[dawn tundra]

I know for a fact that the 4090 has a 128 GB version

[azure topaz]

are u a headline reader

[dawn tundra]

I know it doesn't exist yet

[azure topaz]

it was likely faked because theres no possible memory configuration that wouldve worked. theres no photos of the pcb

. However, given that there are no 4 GB GDDR7 modules, we can only assume that some serious PCB modification was made to accommodate all the modules. Most likely, a PCB riser, tucked away somewhere, or any other interesting solution could be at play. You can take a look at NVIDIA-SMI output, which clearly shows the 128 GB capacity below.

[mystic ermine]

'Ello folks

[summer token]

ive seen like high vram upgrades but not THAT high

[azure topaz]

you can generally double

[summer token]

but doing it requires high skill right

its not something you can go to a pc shop and pay a couple bucks for an upgrade

[azure topaz]

well yeah

[runic anvil]

https://rog.asus.com/monitors/27-to-31-5-inches/rog-swift-oled-pg27ucdm/ is the 27” a good deal for 1000 euro or should i wait for tandem ?

@teal sinew

1k sounds likea no to me but idk is that good

1k no tandem cwazy

Oh yeah then buy a Motorola g play 2023 and see how fast it is

It's $100

Oh and don't forget to drop it accidentally and crack the screen

[wheat torrent]

they finally did it?

[dawn tundra]

Even with the case on it

[wheat torrent]

wait holy shit 128??

[dawn tundra]

Yeah

[craggy cove]

i love cheap power supplies, cant get enough of them

[dawn tundra]

The 4090s exist but yeah

[ebon marlin]

Why buy ewaste

Buy an old flagship instead

[dawn tundra]

Not buying an iPhone that's for sure

[ebon marlin]

???

[craggy cove]

oneplus 10t for 100€!

and that was a year ago

[ebon marlin]

Old flagship does not mean iphone lol

[dawn tundra]

Also because it's cheap that's why

I know I'm just saying you didn't specify what brand but I did sort of I narrowed it down

[ebon marlin]

Like an s20 ultra

[dawn tundra]

How much you think you could buy a used one in good condition for

Oh also I can't really get rid of this phone because I'm locked into a contract

Fucking spectrum

[stray portal]

Crap phone

[ebon marlin]

Eh not really

[stray portal]

Gonna kill itself and has dead battery and etc because it's old

[ebon marlin]

What?

[dawn tundra]

It's not like they're definitely be a better replacement

[craggy cove]

huh

[ebon marlin]

You tweaking

[dawn tundra]

Battery replacement

[ebon marlin]

And new batteries are 10€

[dawn tundra]

Anyway I got to go for now

Even ur iPhone and Samsung batteries all come from china

Some of them come from the same factory aswell

[craggy cove]

holy hell this thing sucks ass

[astral oasis]

Guys, how much would it cost to go from this to am5?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YmBWMV

[ebon marlin]

I don't think it's a good idea to talk about things you don't understand or know

[stray portal]

cheap battery 10 euro

Goes boom and kills you

[ebon marlin]

I don't think it's a good idea to talk about things you don't understand or know about

[stray portal]

goes for you

[azure topaz]

about 350$

[ebon marlin]

I know what I'm talking about I handle with these type of stuff regularly

[craggy cove]

does the aliexpress 7500f method work in the us

[stray portal]

fatty

[azure topaz]

not much cheaper, better to just go 7600/x/9600x

[craggy cove]

tho i cant really go recommend aliexpress to people

[stray portal]

the cat is fat why he eating 🙀🙀

[ebon marlin]

AliExpress is good has a really strong buyer protection

[stray portal]

For my s9 I got a cheap battery and it sucked

[craggy cove]

am5 upgrade ended up being for me 105€ 7500f (ali), 32gb ddr5 60€ (ali), poop asrock b650 60€ (used)

[azure topaz]

yeah so you got garbage

[steel umbra]

b650 - <120$ such as b650m hdv/m.2, pro rs or pg lightning
7400f/7500f/7600/7700 100-160$
2x16gb 6000mt/s cl30 80-90$

[azure topaz]

150$ cpu 100$ board 80-90$ ram

[astral oasis]

What performances should i expect? Like if i’m running my minecraft modpack at 50-60fps with max graphics shaders and stuff

[craggy cove]

havent had anything go wrong (yet), probably like 400€ of purchases

[ebon marlin]

next time don't buy shit batteries

[stray portal]

1 dollar cpu 1 dollar board

[azure topaz]

+50% in cpu bound games

[stray portal]

you said cheap batteries are good

[azure topaz]

i think he needs a cooler, so another 20-30$

[stray portal]

why u switching up which one is it blud

[astral oasis]

Around 350/400 then

[ebon marlin]

There's a difference between cheap and shit

[azure topaz]

i dont think that variant of the 212 is compatible with am5

[azure topaz]

mhmmmm

[astral oasis]

Dang that’s a lot

only having 1 button to troubleshoot/fix things is awful enough but man nothing sucks even more

Speaking of shit reels this was the first reel I got when I opened instagram

[whole garden]

[ebon marlin]

Airpods never had buttons

[agile stag]

its just a smooth touch sensor

[agile stag]

yeah they had the button on the case for you to do things with

[ebon marlin]

Are you talking about the charging case?

[agile stag]

you press it and it clicks

[ebon marlin]

Ah that

[agile stag]

mmhm

[ebon marlin]

Honestly the physical buttons sucked ass

I struggled with them sm always

[agile stag]

i had so many issues with airpod pros in the past that the concept of not even having a button is horrible

but theyd just die in like 2 days for no reason

[ebon marlin]

It was really uncomfy to hold the button down for 10 seconds to troubleshoot

[agile stag]

and that does really mean things to a device that usually is supposed to have some leftover charge all the time

[ebon marlin]

I mean, you'd eitherway need leftover charge with the button

Otherwise the button won't do shit

[stoic nova]

diddnt it only ever be used for initial pairing

I mean most people only ever use that button once

i knew it was gonna happen

its actually ridiculous, warzone ruined everything lmao. all these steps and it feels like shit, bad graphics, idk why the frames feel so unsmooth either.

[warm linden]

Just letting yall know this exists

[bitter crater]

now that im actually in bo7 it feels smooth (constant 90+ fps on pc 1440p ultra on a 3070)

[ivory mountain]

3 of mine died but im pretty sure the v2 fixed that

[hexed tapir]

did i make you sanity check them?

[ivory mountain]

even running 200 the game doesnt feel great, feels fine on anything before bo6

[clear canyon]

nope, i just know bc I always double check lmao, I bet you was lookin at the 3090

damn

didnt this have pump issues

Im looking to get a laptop for college and i keep seeing good things about the Lenovo yoga series i keep seeing like aura edition and intel vs amd. Idk which is better and they are all in similar price ranges. I was a slim and portable laptop and it doesnt have to be a crazy work machine since im bringing my pc. My price range is around 1.1k u can go less or a lil more
Or is there maybe other options for a similar price
Ppl say not to get a MacBook if im majoring in finance due to it not being too compatible with excel
Also if the Microsoft surface laptop is a good option i heard mixed reviews about that tho

[warm linden]

V2

[vital mist]

Is the 7600x worth it over the 7600? I heard it runs a little faster then the 7600 but it also can get a little warmer. But how much warmer? Or should I consider the 7500f?

[distant frigate]

Just so overkill lmao.

[ebon marlin]

All 3 perform the exact same

Get whatever is more cheaper out of the 3

7500F just doesn't have an igpu which is useless

Only useful for troubleshooting

But most of the time you have to order the 7500F off of AliExpress which means longer delivery time

[vital mist]

I see

[ebon marlin]

Some shops do carry 7500F but it's rare

[vital mist]

I wonder why places dont have it

[ebon marlin]

Basically china exclusive

[rigid fjord]

no but they fugly

[fast girder]

How would you guys troubleshoot a PC that wouldn't output any video even after replacing a GPU?

[rigid fjord]

check every cable is in correctly, check that ram and anything in pcie slots are fully seated

also make sure you're connected into the gpu not mobo

[fast girder]

Yea I reseat all the cords and ram, It actually started with random shutoffs in the last couple of weeks

[vital mist]

I had random shutoffs and my issue was the PSU. I dont know if your issue is because of the same but

[fast girder]

Yea I'm trying to avoid changing the PSU or taking the CPU cooler off because that a freaking pain to put back together

[zenith coyote]

my aula f75 came yay

[stoic nova]

monitor

wouldve replaced that first

[fast girder]

Two different monitors, one DP one HDMI

[stoic nova]

wouldve replaced pc with like, a firestick or something

some way of testing they even output

[vital mist]

Is the 7500f overclock able I seen people saying it wasnt but I see on AMDs website it says it is?

[stoic nova]

the X designation usually pertains to that

[azure topaz]

yes it is

[azure topaz]

no it does not

all skus are overclockable unless specifically stated that its not on the amd side

x means you get another couple hunnid mhz

on intel K sku, yes

[stoic nova]

+200 PBO I would hesitate to call overclockable

[azure topaz]

mf

[ripe spire]

Feb 2024 vs October 2025, what progress 🙏

[azure topaz]

you can do that on both chips

[limber nacelle]

X sku doesnt normally come with a cooler iirc

[azure topaz]

the difference is that one of them will go higher than the other because they have a higher base freq

there is no limitations when overclocking non X cpus

you get the exact same features

on an X sku their stock boost clocks are higher

this remains true with the +200mhz offset because both chips can do that

so the speed difference between the two stays the same

hence the "couple hundred mhz"

[stoic nova]

you right, for some reason I felt like being a asshead contrarian

And someone else is losing it

[ebon marlin]

[stark kiln]

• they're giving 1k rubles (around 10$) to those who leave a 5 star review. Very scummy since if they're making that review, they're desperate for saving as much as possible so they want atleast sole money back

Don't gotta tell me how scummy buying reviews is

does anyone know were any am5 cpus on prime day. Trying to figure out if there is a chance that some go on sale for prime big deal days.

[stark kiln]

I lowk wish for AM5 and DDR5 prices to go down

Fuck You mean 90$ for DDR5?

At least produce 16gb ddr5 so it's cheaper

[vital mist]

ya I think this is about the best kit you can even get for ddr5 at that price and it cas latency isnt the best.
https://www.amazon.com/TEAMGROUP-T-Create-Overclocking-6000MHz-PC5-48000/dp/B0BPHRGLSH

[stark kiln]

How did it go from 30$ dd4 16gb to fucking 90$ for ddr5

[ebon marlin]

ddr4 was really expensive when it first launched

so was ddr5

[stark kiln]

I guess wait for ddr6 and Am6 so AM5 becomes cheap

[ebon marlin]

it was 230 dollars for a 2x8gb 2133mhz for ddr4 back in 2015

[stark kiln]

And when did DDR5 got released

[ebon marlin]

in 2021 it was 310 for 2x16gb of ddr5 at 4800mhz

and back then ddr4 had current ddr5 prices

cycle of life

[stark kiln]

DDR5 was in 2020 compared to 2014 in DDR5. I'm pretty sure by 2019 (pre release date for DDR5) DDR4 prices were cheaper

Yet 5 years later ddr5 is still expensive

[ebon marlin]

ddr5 also requires way more stuff than ddr4 does

materials are also way more expensive

What e-mail is good for a stranger to technology, that is not of Google?

[gleaming rose]

outlook

[zenith coyote]

should i try to get a 9070 instead of the 9060

[grave hearth]

It is from Microsoft and is consisting mostly of redundant. Appears it not to provide electronic mail.

[gleaming rose]

what does this message even mean

I don't know what kind of dialect of English this is, but I do not speak it

outlook is literally email

that is what it's always been

[grave hearth]

I said not of Google, and Microsoft is Google.

[gleaming rose]

Microsoft is not Google wtf

[gritty tusk]

huh?

microsoft and google are different corporations

[grave hearth]

Weird.

[gleaming rose]

how did you not know this wtf

[grave hearth]

For I ever see them together, at any direction of look - all them. I fail to see the difference, other than papers at which I can not look at.

[gleaming rose]

what is your deal dawg

[grave hearth]

I need e-mail, I would perchance choose Proton Mail.

[zenith coyote]

is this good build https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/njx7VF

[gleaming rose]

outlook is email too but just use proton if that's what you want

[carmine yew]

Outlook.com

[odd marsh]

I get all my mail from outlook delivered by UPS shit sucks

[carmine yew]

Based on your ideas of other companies, proton is basically google too

[gleaming rose]

I like Purelymail but it's more technical

[gleaming rose]

very cheap and solid though

[limpid dune]

connecting to both ethernet AND wifi won't help, Windows isn't smart enough to use both at once, so just pick one

[carmine yew]

If you want the worst solution, host your own mail server

[gritty tusk]

google is blocked in russia

so is microsoft

which is why they believe them to be the same company

[broken palm]

i dream of those uploads

1.1gbit down 35mbit upload

[limpid dune]

that's an insane profile 😭

[broken palm]

[grizzled frost]

ddr5 6000 cl30 my beloved

[grave hearth]

Mister @gleaming rose, may Purelymail be used for business and for web-places that require creating accound to create account? Whatever exists that requires electronic mail for creation of an account.

[limpid dune]

purelymail seems to have good reviews, yes. But websites don't actually check whether an email is from a "good website" when you make an account. If the email works, the websites will like it

[gleaming rose]

purelymail just works

you can bring your own domain or use one of theirs

[grave hearth]

I concluded that Purelyemail is perfect and is how I would make a product. I would pay extra.

[gleaming rose]

you can pay the $10/month or do the advanced pricing

[grave hearth]

Yes, I have been reading.

[gleaming rose]

I pay like $10/year with advanced pricing despite having 7000 emails in my inbox

[grave hearth]

Worry not, a single letter would not I miss.

[solid crown]

well youre gonna feel even older knowing I have some random kingbank ram at 6000 cl28

IIRC they sell CL24 6000MT/s kits now

[solid crown]

idk why I even have this ram its paired with a 14400f

I should try overclocking it sometime but im not really an OC guy + ocing ram seems more annoying than cpu

[summer crow]

I wrapped my 5080s in carbon

[solid crown]

why do you have two 5080s

[summer crow]

Two gamers 1 cpu

[solid crown]

that causes more questions than it solves ngl

[summer crow]

Virtual machines

[solid crown]

see my previous statement 💀

[summer crow]

See

[solid crown]

what cpu are you using?

[summer crow]

9950x

[solid crown]

hmm fair enough

I feel like most cases its just more practical to get 2 seperate pcs though

also 850w for all that is crazyyy

[summer crow]

Yeah it is but its cool because instead of 2 gaming rigs and 1 backup server I can ball out on 1 pc

That's my old build with the same setup, I am building the new one now

1500w and

[solid crown]

ah

[summer crow]

Its pretty versatile

Wouldn't recommend for the avg person definitely just buy two systems lol

[plain cypress]

So it's 2 CPUs in 1 package
But I digress

[summer crow]

Yes

That is infact how it works

[grizzled frost]

two CCDs in one package is the most specific description

[unborn condor]

These good temps for Doom? 180fps at max settings, 7900xtx and ryzen 5800xt

[versed swan]

HOW and WHY in gods name are you running openGL on Doom 2016?

That should be DirectX 11 or Vulkan, preferably Vulkan

[unborn condor]

Why not? Idfk the difference

[hoary agate]

building a sleeper ig

That is not the image

[versed swan]

OpenGL is old and slower than Vulkan and DirectX 11. You would most likely get better performance on either of those graphics libraries

OpenGL is what minecraft java edition runs on

[unborn condor]

Not seeing much of a difference so far

[versed swan]

The performance and overall stability should be better. Vulkan has lower CPU load, more predictable CPU and memory load, and better memory interfaces than OpenGL.

Game servers theyre the best for that specifically because they need good single core performance + multiple cores for async tasks

then send a pic of the back

[azure topaz]

youre not going to do anything about it tho not my problem

[hoary agate]

shh its stable when i limit the power on the GPU

[azure topaz]

...its not stable normally???

what cpus?

whatever config i dont think it should be hitting ocp at that wattage

[hoary agate]

Yes, poweredge 840 case

[azure topaz]

fits the uhh, whole bomb thing

[random gyro]

@dawn tundra is that the clip to remove it

[azure topaz]

what the fuck is you talkin about

[hoary agate]

well, I haven’t tested it at full power because I’m scared
2X e5-2698 v3 w/ 5700 XT power limited to 150W

290 W from CPUs and 150 from gpu

[azure topaz]

those have 135w tdp

270 from cpu 150 from gpu

[hoary agate]

When benchmarked they hit 145

[dawn tundra]

uhhh maybie?

[hoary agate]

But you’re right

[azure topaz]

i mean youre smart for not pushing it any further but buy a new power supply lol

can get incredible units for not very much money

[dawn tundra]

yea it is

[azure topaz]

evga 1300 g2 for 65$ on ebay w/all the cables

[hoary agate]

I’m poor from buying the motherboard

Oh shit, never mind I might be able to afford one

[dawn tundra]

i have a 920

[azure topaz]

do you want the link

[random gyro]

sweet, so just take off power cable off, screws, pull back clip, and it should come off?

[azure topaz]

only cavieats is that its very long

[hoary agate]

cool!

[dawn tundra]

yep dw abt pulling hard its in there good

[azure topaz]

looks like it would hardly fit but send it

youre clearly one for the jank

[random gyro]

im afraid ill break the gpu tho, how do i know at what hardness to pull at?

[hoary agate]

This is the power button

[azure topaz]

i think i bought one from the same seller, had it 3 years

[dawn tundra]

untill it comes out, you wont break it, trust me you wont...

[azure topaz]

so theyre reliable enough

[hoary agate]

Thank you, Mr.

[azure topaz]

its flopper to you

[hoary agate]

Mr. flopper

Did you see the picture of the power button?

[azure topaz]

yes

typical oem jankness

[hoary agate]

yeah, I don’t know why they use like a proprietary IDe looking connector

And since both the motherboard that I’m using, and both of the connectors I’m using a different

Like it’s super stupid

so the connector is sideways so that the power pin out fit together

[dawn tundra]

this message is whats in it @hoary agate

[sharp ivy]

I put a Dell Tigris SFF board into a case from one of my Pentium 4 systems and I just have the power button cable sideways across the pins on the board

[hoary agate]

Lmao

[sharp ivy]

and it works fine

[hoary agate]

That’s literally what I’m doing lol

[sharp ivy]

just the power button and HDD light don't work

[sharp ivy]

YEAHHH

[scenic slate]

hello, everyone

[hoary agate]

Same because I’m too stupid to wire them up

[hoary agate]

Hello!

[scenic slate]

@hoary agate hi, nice to meet to u

@hoary agate what a u doing now?

[sharp ivy]

also if you want to use standard fans on the Tigris board, cut the plastic shroud off the connector on the board and plug the fan in backwards from the standard dell direction

[hoary agate]

Nice to meet you too

[sharp ivy]

works great

[hoary agate]

No, like I had a 120 MM fan from a Dell dimension and I had to plug it in backwards to make it work

For standard four pin

[sharp ivy]

This abomination

[hoary agate]

thermal right mentioned Rahhh

[sharp ivy]

YEAHHHH

[hoary agate]

I had a thermal right cooler for my old LGA 1151 system

[spring latch]

overclocked a celeron j (and did some morefuckery) and also made my computer very vunerable in the process 👍
on the other hand, sysbench result went from 1535 events per second to 2247, thread fairness from 303 to 26

[ivory mountain]

people are running and gunning in cs2 comp u cant make this shit up

[sharp ivy]

$20CAD Optiplex 3020 sff, $23CAD thermalright assasin X 120 SE, $Free old JMK systems case from the PC lab, $9CAD 8gb aliexpress DDR3 1333mhz

oh and a $20CAD MSI GT730

[spring latch]

this could be considereed a senario where at this point more preformance just ISNT worth it

[hoary agate]

Poor

[spring latch]

I have a PNY GT 730, either its fucked or my PCIe slot is but regardless its the most unstable thing ever

[sharp ivy]

twas a bad deal

I got an RX 560 off marketplace for the same price

[hoary agate]

yes you can get some coolers for like 15 bucks nowadays

[sharp ivy]

GDDR5 version

[sharp ivy]

I have a good gaming PC, this was just for learning about PC building

[hoary agate]

Ohh

anyways, after I transferred the motherboard to this case, it’s not posting

🙁

[sharp ivy]

awh

maybe somethig is shorting out on the case?

[hoary agate]

like the fans are spinning, but I don’t hear the post beep (it beeps when it turns on) and there’s no display

[sharp ivy]

huh

[hoary agate]

Whenever the computer posts there’s an onboard speaker that beeps a few times

[sharp ivy]

It looks really dusty in the photo even though it's pristine irl

[sharp ivy]

Hmm

[hoary agate]

Anyway, what I’m thinking is that I need to reset the GPU

Reseat

[sharp ivy]

That's a good idea

make sure it's fully in

[vale widget]

is this a good idea?

[spring latch]

I am probably going to get hacked eventually

just for overclocking and preformance gaining

[hoary agate]

Nope

No workies

[sharp ivy]

awh

[hoary agate]

It’s warming up too

It’s just like ha ha no display fuck you

[fringe prairie]

sure

[hoary agate]

@sharp ivy you got any ideas?

[tawny lava]

hello do i have to set my AIO pump to 100%

[random gyro]

yo solo

didn't know you were in this server g

[hoary agate]

it booted!!

But now it’s saying, I don’t have a boot device

Which is bad because all my data is on this drive

[azure topaz]

change raid mode

[hoary agate]

I really hope that it’s just a bad cable

[hoary agate]

Huh

[azure topaz]

ahci to raid or other way around

[azure topaz]

Is it a MBR install?

If not you'd need to add that install to wbm

[cerulean moon]

Would the Oculus Quest 2 be worth it in 2025? Not the Meta, the Oculus. Support ends at 2027 I think, so im debating on getting it for 65 bucks

[stoic nova]

Is the extent of your vr experience with phone goggles?

Unremarkable technologically by today's standards but if it's novel to you, then totally

[cerulean moon]

I tried it one time when Samung gear first came out

[stoic nova]

Still fully capable of steam VR and thus everything

[cerulean moon]

But its been something I wanted to use for a long while. 2 years actually I planned on getting vr but focused on upgrading my pc first

If steam VR then ill get it, I dont need anything high end so thabks

[stoic nova]

Meta quest 2 shouldn't be much more expensive especially on the pre-owned market. Ones with the data cable

[cerulean moon]

Its a 64gb one but missing cable..

But yea I mean $65 barely used is a steal comes with headset and controllers. I would've bought just the headset and built controllers too ngl

[tame trout]

I'd say it's above average

[true adder]

Im selling my i7 7th gen + motherboard + corsair 32gb ram and someone offered 100 euros is that good

[brave brook]

new DDR4 RAM price exploded lately, check your local used market. Rest ? Probably yes, it is 9 years old tech after all

[true adder]

Yeah the ram is expensive

Maybe ill should wait for someone to offer more

[brave brook]

you can always split the bundle

watching a video on YT, guy says "and that leads us to the second reason:"... and youtube plays an ad 😄 . I guess i should really upgrade from YT Music to YT Premium
