[edgy tiger]

Building a budget pc out of an oem any suggestions

[limber swallow]

Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 fans is 69cfm

[ebon marlin]

hmm i wonder how much this will affect my performance with an AMD card

[median heart]

I love dying light

[grizzled frost]

get the best CPU for the socket, get the best GPU that fits, problem solved

[ebon marlin]

bought it for my gf and now were playing it together

[edgy tiger]

The best cpu cost more than the pc

[median heart]

Its so peak im playing through the beast rn and ive beat 1 and 2 before

[sleek ibex]

[edgy tiger]

I will use an rxt 1650 though

[median heart]

• beat all the dlcs

[rigid fjord]

dell optiplex with an 8th gen intel inside it or a lenovo/hp equivalent with the same cpu gen

[limber swallow]

if you say Peerless Assassin is the best
then Thermalright Peerless Assassin
air cooler that will hit the glass on my pc and break it

[grizzled frost]

if it's an old ass socket, get the second or third best chip

the absolute best chip for a socket holds value like crazy

[edgy tiger]

I got a 16 gb ram hp palivion

[grizzled frost]

how the hell are we meant to know what does and doesn't fit in your case when you have at no point mentioned what case you have

[ebon marlin]

the beast was total garbage unfortunately

[limber swallow]

CPU cooler height limitation: 160mm

[rigid fjord]

dell pc with 4-5th gen intel inside = $50, dell pc with 8th gen intel inside = $100-150 @edgy tiger

[limber swallow]

Thermalright Peerless
Total Size: 140x160x165mm
165mm?

[grizzled frost]

get the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE at 155mm

[edgy tiger]

Any gpu suggestions (small form)

[limber swallow]

why se in the name?

[grizzled frost]

Really going to depend on the PSU in your OEM since it's wattage limit and what cable it has varies quite a bit

[rigid fjord]

he has a gamdias aura case, which is a knock off clone of an cougar archon

[edgy tiger]

150 watt psu

[median heart]

Ive liked it so far but ive noticed a lack of content besided the main quests

[grizzled frost]

yeah a GPU ain't in your cards then

[rigid fjord]

gtx 1650 low profile pretty much

[edgy tiger]

Thanks

[grizzled frost]

Small Edition

[ebon marlin]

there's only a handful of side quests, map is incredibly empty, parkour and combat feel significantly worse than Dying Light 2 and they also ruined the grappling hook

[rigid fjord]

nah it's possible, just need to be the right kind of low profile gpu

[limber swallow]

what temps would be under max load on 5700x using 150w? avx2

[grizzled frost]

depends

[ebon marlin]

I tried out Dying Light 2 after beating the beast and oh my god how much better the game felt

[limber swallow]

avx2 100%

[median heart]

Yeah agreed with everything you said but hopefully as the game progresses theyll drop updates to fix those issues

[ebon marlin]

parkour was so choppy on the beast and then it was so smooth on dying light 2

[grizzled frost]

depends on ambient temp, cpu bin, cooler fan speed, case fan speed, etc

[limber swallow]

max fan speeds
ambient temp of 20

[ebon marlin]

the story on the beast is totally garbage just very uninteresting and repetetive

[rigid fjord]

considering the wattage of the psu, this is the best you can use, anything over that will mean a better psu needed, well might as well be a better pc needed instead

[grizzled frost]

cpu bin

[median heart]

I loved dl2 parkour but the beast i was genuinely getting so annoyed at some of the parkour bits

[ebon marlin]

yeah

[limber swallow]

i don't know what is that

[ebon marlin]

I loved Dying Light 2 cuz of the multiple parkour structures scattered around the map and on dltb there's nothing bruh

[grizzled frost]

basically exactly how good the CPU die itself is

which varies even within a model of CPU

not every 5700x will perform identically

[limber swallow]

i don't get it why you want me so bad to not buy 360 aio
you as everyone

[grizzled frost]

expensive, unnecessary, and will fail at some point

[rigid fjord]

@median heart 15 pages deep in where it comes to amazon, and the acer nitro is the only good one for the price

[cosmic lance]

I lwkey like opening cmd as adminstrator and typing taskkill /f /im svchost.exe just to annoy my sister

[limber swallow]

what about 9950x3d?
can air coolers cool them?

[rigid fjord]

taskill explorer.exe for the real fun

[median heart]

Exactlyy dl2 felt so full with things to parkour but nothing on dltb

[limber swallow]

trust me my old pc air cooler failled

[grizzled frost]

The upper end of them can

[rigid fjord]

easily

[cosmic lance]

real

[grizzled frost]

how tf did you manage that

[limber swallow]

wtf
how is that

oh wait
can i just get 5000rpm fans on my current cpu cooler?

[median heart]

Aight ill think abt it then tysm for the help

[ebon marlin]

yeah exactly they could've easily kept the beast as a dlc due to how empty it is

[grizzled frost]

You can, just order some ear plugs to go with it

[limber swallow]

will it really work?

[left dove]

no

[ebon marlin]

yes

[grizzled frost]

It'll perform better, sure

[limber swallow]

why i was going to buy 50eur fans

[grizzled frost]

but you could also get better performance by turning off your stupid ass OC

[left dove]

there's a threshold of the amount of airflow over something relative to its cooling performance.

[limber swallow]

you don't understand

[left dove]

no, we do understand

[limber swallow]

i don't get better performance i get worse
when i disable it

[left dove]

NO SHIT

[limber swallow]

temps does not effect performance at all
i just need it to run cooler because i want to

[grizzled frost]

i'm getting second hand brain damage

[left dove]

I hate him so much

[grizzled frost]

just buy the damn 360mm aio since you've already decided on it

[raw trout]

Liquid cool ppl

[left dove]

yeah at this point buy what you want but stop asking us for help if you'ree not going to listen and just argue

[raw trout]

Liquid cool

[limber swallow]

no its fans is max 2000rpm
i need 5000rpm fans

[grizzled frost]

no you don't

[limber swallow]

why is the best fans in the world only 1800rpm

[left dove]

someone stop spamming my post with emojis

[sleek ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/thriller-michael-jackson-eating-popcorn-watching-gif-5577709

[rigid fjord]

he understands better than you do, using ai optimization ontop of actual pbo settings is not OC'ing it

[raw trout]

Is it pc soundproof

[grizzled frost]

because people don't like massacring their ears

[raw trout]

Trust me my dell sounds like a jet don't buy those fans

[dapper light]

Finally got a large desk space after i moved my mini-server and printer off my room
i think i can put a 4th monitor at last.
just for shit and giggles

[ebon marlin]

nah let them buy the 5000rpm fans

[rigid fjord]

it's not, one of the best ones is 3000 rpm, and not an industrial fan at that

[dapper light]

still not as crazy as iono's setup

[limber swallow]

scam site https://www.pcgamer.com/best-pc-fans/

Noctua NF-A12x25 G2 is 1800rpm

[rigid fjord]

because dell use blowimatrons

[ebon marlin]

iono's setup is just full of queer flags lmao

[raw trout]

The fans are suspended not screw on also

[dapper light]

and 6 monitors

[raw trout]

And i have a 24/7 mc server who want in

[rigid fjord]

rubber mounting, against vibrations > screws

[limber swallow]

should i buy 10 3000rpm fans?

[left dove]

no advertising allowed.

[raw trout]

Oh shit

Il ask but never send the link

[rigid fjord]

not a scam, but at the same time arctic fans = cheaper and out performs noctua

[limber swallow]

i found fan that can do
109.81CFM

[raw trout]

Techincally ragebait

[left dove]

You should stop trying to buy things you have no idea about.

[raw trout]

Ok have fun dying

[limber swallow]

why its just
Noctua NF-F12 iPPC 3000 PWM, 4-Pin, Heavy Duty Cooling Fan with 3000RPM (120mm, Black)

[kindred halo]

Okay L4D2 needed a 9.8kb file

Maybe that's why it kept crashing

[raw trout]

Oh wait guys it's noctua

[left dove]

Because you have no idea what you're doing or talking about and are just going back and forth with us until someone agrees with your moronic, shit-for-brain logic that we're all fucking fed up with

[limber swallow]

thermalairhgt does not make 3000rpm fans i can't find

[limber swallow]

you told me to not get aio i wont
i will get best fans in the world

[raw trout]

Just use liquid cooling. You get a cool screen also

[ebon marlin]

https://youtu.be/AhxUN2kcOWM?si=yzInQbWiMZljlt_0

[rigid fjord]

stop crossposting between here and the overclocking discord

[raw trout]

Ok don't get aio get hard tubing or custom cooling

[sleek ibex]

Noctua's A1()x25 fans are the only fans worth buying from them

[left dove]

shut up

[raw trout]

And then put the best fans in the world in them

[limber swallow]

wait wait

[raw trout]

What I'm trying to find a loophole

[limber swallow]

why 100cfm I FOUND 200cfm fans

EZDIY-FAB 120 mm Case Fan 200CFM 4000RPM CPU Fan 12V DC 4-Pin Molex PC Computer High CFM Cooling Case Fan with Metal Finger Protection Grill Mining Rig 2 Fans for ETH ZEC / Bitcoin GPU 2 Pack
Size: 120 mm x 120 mm x 38 mm, double ball bearing, speed: 4000 RPM, airflow: 200 CFM, noise level: 59dBA

[raw trout]

Omfg

[left dove]

YOU DONT NEED THEM

[ebon marlin]

Tldr

[raw trout]

4000 rpm?

[left dove]

get average fans you fucking nincompoop

[limber swallow]

why they are going to make my air cooler
better than the 360 aio

[ebon marlin]

Their frontal lobe never developed just leave them be

[left dove]

NOT HOW THAT WORKS

[sleek ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/kuroko-anime-despair-hit-table-gif-21051524

[left dove]

God fucking damn dude how dense are you

[rigid fjord]

<@&750150305383186585> at this point he's just shitposting and trolling to aim ais ragebait

[limber swallow]

how it works then
i don't get it

[rigid fjord]

you wouldn't get it even if it came straight up to your face and slapped you even more stupid

[ornate zodiac]

That's concerning

[raw trout]

Rachet

[left dove]

you can't just continue shoving more air over something and expect it to cool better, it's effect tapers off the higher cfm you go because air can't conduct heat fast enough from the heatsink or radiator.

[arctic kettle]

Largest ad campaign in history yada yada

[raw trout]

Rachet here go bleed ur ears
https://amzn.in/d/6XH99Cf

[left dove]

stop helping him.

[raw trout]

6000 rpm for ur pain

[raw trout]

No let him suffer for his arrogance

Stubbornanace

[dapper light]

no you're just wasting your time because he's never buying it anyway

[left dove]

We already suffer enough from your presence tbh

[raw trout]

Tf I did I know I'm dumb as grass but atleast I'm not ragebait

[raw trout]

The friend gave up

[rigid fjord]

well techincally, hdmi cables do have a constant live feed, more so if it's DP to HDMI

[raw trout]

Have u ppl seen that yt video when the dude plug in the ethernet cable and then put the vga cable close to the port it would start arcing

That's bad.

[left dove]

thats just gross negligence of the people who ran their power lmao

if its supposed to be grounded and its not in the wall you are scum

[arctic kettle]

I would remove the connections on your profile with your name, just a suggestion.

[left dove]

[crystal pond]

What the hell is Newegg posting

[raw trout]

I don't mind people looking at my connections

[left dove]

https://tenor.com/view/education-connection-get-connected-for-gif-5909920

[arctic kettle]

Fair enough.

[raw trout]

And i. Need it cuz I need to reclaim my stolen xbox acc

[dapper light]

two types of users
-someone who can be doxxed in 5 seconds
-someone who's more stealthy than the epstein files

[arctic kettle]

I more so meant the usernames with your name and birth year.

[raw trout]

What?

[cosmic lance]

[raw trout]

I don't mind telling people my bday.

[arctic kettle]

[cosmic lance]

i already found your email and your country within 20 seconds

The fact you actually did it speaks volumes about your self-security.

[arctic kettle]

Thank god the mods deleted that.

[raw trout]

[arctic kettle]

I retract my previous comment.

[cosmic lance]

yes

[raw trout]

Oh my before puberty cringe ahh shenanigans

[kindred halo]

Yeah the 9.8kb file was what made L4D2 keep crashing

Glad I checked its file integrity

Even more glad that steam has an option for it

[raw trout]

Also u gotta stop exposing other people's data on the discord channel that NO ONE ASKED FOR

[kindred halo]

Whar happened

[raw trout]

like it's there for others to get to know me not to share

[arctic kettle]

You did that though, nobody else needed to help in accomplishing it.

[raw trout]

Bros sending all my cringe shit here cuz I have connections in my discord

[left dove]

then stop openly hosting it you fucking tart

[cosmic lance]

have you played fortnite Casual Standard on Duos recently?

[raw trout]

What's casual standard

The last game I played was Blitz royale

[cosmic lance]

it was blitz royale

[raw trout]

Oh

[raw trout]

Yeah I did

[cosmic lance]

W

[rigid fjord]

very unlikely, most likely scam call center trying to claim they're from microsoft

[cosmic lance]

my friend can only hop on next week

[dapper light]

Here i am being hyper paranoid with my infos and this mofo here putting theirs on a silver platter

[left dove]

I only put so much out there for a reason lmao

[raw trout]

All the ppl come to my house for a lan party cuz im one of the only ones with multiple platforms and devices to play on

[left dove]

idc about my face because I have no social media outside of discord

[raw trout]

[dapper light]

I use my pseudonym so much I sometimes forgot my real name.

[raw trout]

Same

[raw trout]

Cool

[cosmic lance]

im taking my pc with me, lets played duo togheter

[raw trout]

Which country do you live?

[cosmic lance]

Jextinger

[raw trout]

Good lucky paying for that 3,300 dollar ticket

[cosmic lance]

Nah, i have to take a rocket

you didnt knew Jextinger was on Mars?

it would be way expensivier than that

[raw trout]

Sure bro just land in isro and expect to not get arrested

Or get bombed by irso

[cosmic lance]

damn

[winter lantern]

These are tuff wdym

[raw trout]

Pakistan sent a fuck ton of airbone weapons got intercepted

[rigid fjord]

i have other social media's but none of them are easy to locate the other

[raw trout]

Next time some of the major airbases in pakistan got cooked by bombs by operation sindoor

[left dove]

like it's really not hard to be moderately safe

[crude glen]

phantom spirit or thermal knight for thermalright air cooler?

[rigid fjord]

true, just takes common sense

[left dove]

something kids nowadays don't have

[rigid fjord]

sad but very true

[winter lantern]

I believe Everyone does
They just dont care

[raw trout]

Howd u know?

[arctic kettle]

Different username on every platform and nothing connecting them is the strategy.

[winter lantern]

I just dont have an online alias

[raw trout]

I just left everything locked down for the following 5 years

[winter lantern]

Making accounts is rough fr

[arctic kettle]

I stopped doing it on my gaming related platforms though.

[left dove]

because you openly host all of your info for anyone to see you limp turnip

[raw trout]

Sign up -->sign in with goofle

[rigid fjord]

or you can still use the same username but have it accessed differently

[raw trout]

So do people with mc servers

[grizzled frost]

no...

[winter lantern]

Same username and password on everything is the method

[raw trout]

1. Ur public ip

2. Ur mc server

[grizzled frost]

There are plenty of ways to host an MC server without exposing PII

[tacit star]

Btw do you think Spirit 120 SE is sufficient for 7600X

[left dove]

yes

[tacit star]

You just mentioned it

[rigid fjord]

username yes, password no

[arctic kettle]

If you want 1 random bozo website to have a breach and lose all of your accounts.

[winter lantern]

Nothing valuable

Im too irrelevant for that

[gloomy sleet]

i use the raw data of a photo as my passwords

[arctic kettle]

Except your time.

[raw trout]

Google work space breach made me. Lose my xbox account but aleast i was not the good one

[raw trout]

Cloud fare ahh guy

[left dove]

like a chunk of the hash? that's smart

[raw trout]

Flare

[raw trout]

What if I use a barcode scanner and scan a bottle. Of soda as my password

[left dove]

dude, stop talking

[rigid fjord]

microsoft had a breach similar to that that affected a few million accounts

[gloomy sleet]

it’s pretty easy to do and works fine

[winter lantern]

Nothing wrong here

[raw trout]

Like a old can of soda

[left dove]

stop. talking.

[gloomy sleet]

just have a password locker or something to store them on

[raw trout]

When? Did this happen

[arctic kettle]

No way, I thought you were ragebaiting.

[raw trout]

I have authentor it's not called authicator but ik not telling which one it is. There a lot of authenncatirs

[rigid fjord]

this would be going back around 4 years or so now

[winter lantern]

Only my gmail password is different

[raw trout]

Oh then I'm not involved

[winter lantern]

Because thats the source of them all

[raw trout]

4 years ago the account that got hacked didn't exist

[winter lantern]

How much

[winter lantern]

I've found a used one for 575$ but its like 3h away so no point in dreaming

[rigid fjord]

microsoft in their "wisdom" left a server on and unprotected while doing transfers, it left a few million accounts compromised resulting in many require password reset

[left dove]

Not much of a brother but we big chillin

[kindred cave]

I've talked to you like a year ago about build my apevia pc

close

[pearl fossil]

idk if i should go for 10th gen intel or newer ryzen in a laptop

[left dove]

newer ryzen

[lunar hearth]

13 gen is way better

[pearl fossil]

like i can go maybe ~2022 max just in case you have to know

[cosmic lance]

my ryzen 5 3600 could never!

[pearl fossil]

my needs are so specific i can't even use rdna 2 igpu

[lunar hearth]

I upgraded from i3 1115g4 uhd cry

[pearl fossil]

i can only do gcn btw

[crude glen]

what thermalright air cooler should i get for a 7 5800x? im replacing a corsair aio

[pearl fossil]

any recommendations for a ~400 euro laptop, second hand preferably

[kindred cave]

Yo @left dove

[lunar hearth]

165hz

[pearl fossil]

but keep in mind my needs of having a gcn 5 igpu

[kindred cave]

Would you want to be my PC build coach again?

[pearl fossil]

lmao i only have a 60hz screen i can't even tell what you're pointing out

[left dove]

what does this entail

[rigid fjord]

your sanity

[left dove]

I lost that at 10 am when I woke up

[cosmic lance]

i love seeing a 165 fps video on a 165hz screen

[left dove]

I honestly don't know if I could tell the diff between 120hz & 165

120 is already pretty fucking lifelike as it is

[crude glen]

what thermalright air cooler should i get for a 7 5800x? im replacing a corsair aio

[rigid fjord]

ps120se

[crude glen]

how is it compared to all their other ones

they all look the same 🫩

i’m just gonna get anyone of them they all r solid

[kindred cave]

Building this entire PC https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hMK7Qd -- Walk me through the entire build process so I know I don't mess it up again 😭💀

[rigid fjord]

pretty much the best of thermalright's air coolers

[left dove]

put motherboard on box
put cpu in motherboard. cpu and socket are notched so you can't screw it up.
Insert ram into slots 2 & 4
put m.2 drive in slot closest to cpu socket, under the ribbed heatsink above the pcie x16 slot.
Put cpu cooler on according to manual
insert current assembly into case
screw into case
Wire up front panel power button & usb according to motherboard manual
insert and mount power supply
run 24 pin, 8 pin CPU/EPS
run 16 pin 12vhpwr
insert gpu
plug 16 pin into gpu
close side panel
turn psu switch on
connect to display and internet
connect keyboard and mouse
press power button
wait

jesus goddamn ice cream shitting christ

[left dove]

how do we feel about the 265k tho
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cjjZNz

[rigid fjord]

it's reasonably decent however i'd recommend either a frozen prism or frozen warframe when it comes to intel cpu's and an aio instead of the lf3 pro

[left dove]

duly noted

[rigid fjord]

primarily it's due to mounting than performance

[left dove]

I've been running a dark rock pro 3 for the last 6-8 years so I'm a little out of touch with air coolers

oh its a watercooler

[rigid fjord]

either thermalright pa120se/ps120se or an a620 pro se would be great air coolers in comparison

[left dove]

yeah I was just looking at the pa120se

jesuschrist

yeah uh 265k it is

36mb of l2 w h a t

[rigid fjord]

it's much better a cpu for production work

[left dove]

and per-core performance will be fucking amazing for dcs

[rigid fjord]

great for beam.ng also in that sence

[left dove]

god my fractal renders would be so much faster too

$900 aint bad for the core upgrade tbh

[proven shoal]

fucking hell nearly 60k on a consumer chiip is crazy

[left dove]

right??

and at the same cost of a 9700x

[rigid fjord]

sense*

[rigid fjord]

you've not seen the 9900x/9950x then

[proven shoal]

yea they are about 65k, but like double the cost or something

my 7800x3d does a measly 35k

[left dove]

Now we just gotta wait and hope that the god of black friday is kind on my wishlist

[proven shoal]

yes i know they are synthetic benchmarks but still

[rigid fjord]

yup and for 9000 series ryzens, other than the x3d ones, the only 9000 series cpu's to touch

[left dove]

I really wanna do a projector for my living room but everywhere I look I end up looking at the $900 models the most 😔

[proven shoal]

the 9900x has about 55k

well my 7800x3d is doing well so, its a future me problem

[empty quartz]

My humour is broken

[left dove]

it made me irl chuckle

[rigid fjord]

9600,9600x,9700,9700x aren't worth touching unless they're cheaper than 7000 series ones of the same type

[proven shoal]

i mean if they are like 20bucks difference i would prob get the 9000, unless i am really stretching the budget

[nova creek]

I have just ordered a new laptop with no OS how do I prepare a windows boot and can I use an external hard drive via usb?

[proven shoal]

crazy how the 7800x3d is still going for £350 (although i have seen listing on aliexpress for about £200)

[azure topaz]

any 200$ 7800x3d is probably fake lol

[rigid fjord]

nah, they're only worth it if they're cheaper

[proven shoal]

nah people reporting they actually got a real product

[tired bear]

reviews can be paid off

[proven shoal]

not on aliexpress

on a different website, where deals are posted

ofc there is a chance you get hit with customs, which can make the price higher

[azure topaz]

ur just mad im gaming

[cold skiff]

All you need is 8gb

[azure topaz]

this is a game from 2008

[cold skiff]

I know

That’s what makes the quote even better

[azure topaz]

its just unoptimized to fuck but its okay

[cold skiff]

That bright tree texture tells me it was made by some awful dev

[azure topaz]

gsc game world?

[cold skiff]

No idea. It just looked naughties af

[azure topaz]

its stalker

[cold skiff]

Which means looks like shit (amazing at the time) but plays 10x better than most games now

That makes sense. Great game

[azure topaz]

to be fair its modernized and modded to shit by some gooners who found the engine open sourced but

core is still stalker i dont imagine their optimizations helped any performance tho

[cold skiff]

I remember when 6gb was ahead of its time. Oh how I long for 6gb again.

[gloomy sleet]

i just found out indycar racing 2 isn’t playable on linux

[azure topaz]

its over

[gloomy sleet]

week ruined

[cold skiff]

Then 6gb got outgrew quicker than the Kpop phase

Like 1060 6gb awesome. 2060 6gb bad.

[azure topaz]

3gb more than enough here we go

[cold skiff]

Yesss

Consequently Minecraft uses 3gb these days lol

Wait BL4 on 3gb? Kek

[azure topaz]

lol thats bl2 i wish it was bl4 💀

[proven shoal]

thats bl2

[azure topaz]

1050 3gb running bl4

[cold skiff]

That was the joke

[cold skiff]

At 300+ fps too

[proven shoal]

when game optimizations were actually a thing

[cold skiff]

With a 1% penalty for windowed mode

BL4 isn’t unoptimised

[proven shoal]

good thing is i barely have time to play, and when I do, i play cs

[azure topaz]

yeah this is one of the few games that run at over my monitors refresh rate without sacrifices

[cold skiff]

Saying it’s unoptimised implies they knew how to build in the engine.

It’s clear they don’t from Randy comments

[clear canyon]

How DARE you game!!! >:(

[cold skiff]

To be fair we are keeping him from gaming

[lunar hearth]

Bsl or complmantary??

[clear canyon]

you talkin about vram? no, 8gigs is too little now days

[cold skiff]

With that I’m going to bed. Coming down with a cold

[clear canyon]

then come up with a warm

[cold skiff]

I was being facetious. With the AMD Frank quote

[clear canyon]

ahhh ok

also, get to feeling better

a warm shower and sleep should help alot

[azure topaz]

what about a warm flower

[cold skiff]

It’s probably my favourite quote of the decade tbh. It’s just so off point it’s like “yeah. We don’t make top tier this time so you… 8gb!”

[azure topaz]

lol

i reckon during the 390x 8gb was cool

[cold skiff]

Meanwhile Nvidia stingy and go “have 24gb har har frank”

[clear canyon]

you know what else is cool? Me 😏

whats the funny here

[odd marsh]

i also do not get it

[azure topaz]

360hz is absurd

[random gyro]

Did I do good lol

[azure topaz]

yep thats installed lol

[random gyro]

The pin thing is that okay where it’s at

[azure topaz]

yes

[shy marsh]

should i isntall my ram or should i go to acer supported tech repair shop to make them install the ram and make me not get warranty void?

[grizzled frost]

who tf voids warranty for installing ram

[shy marsh]

idk it might void my warranty

[craggy cove]

unless u tamper with a seal or something then no

i remember my acer nitro had a special slot just for upgrading ram

like this

tho i doubt the newer ones have this

[shy marsh]

Yes i think i also have that but i havent opened it yet. like rectangle cover

[iron glen]

If an earbud dies like completely is it just gone or can it not run out like a dead car battery

[empty quartz]

If you’re in the us of a, those warranty void stickers are not valid

[shy marsh]

too bad i am not

[shy marsh]

confirmed this i have on free slot so i can chuck 1 more 16 gb ram to have 32 gb

[empty quartz]

Does it have those warranty void stickers

[shy marsh]

though cant find spec sheet of the laptop to check what is the max ram . Though i found some listingfrom online store that says i can handle 32gb

[empty quartz]

Afaik only company that would refuse warranty is apple

[shy marsh]

nope it has not

[empty quartz]

Then go ahead

Its perfectly fine

[shy marsh]

yep will do buy extra ram

[grizzled frost]

not legally enforceable in most places

[empty quartz]

I wanna get a dead evga 3090 and try to warranty claim it

Evga lifetime warranty for the win

[shy marsh]

but do you have to show receipt or document that you bought it?

never tried warranty or something

[empty quartz]

You have to register the evga part on their website

[formal estuary]

bro

[shy marsh]

I guess it is just a hassle but will keep receipts for now. it is laptop sfter all

[empty quartz]

Better than my elementary schools network

[shy marsh]

ohhh i think i should do that one too . on acer

[empty quartz]

Register it on acers website, and then you’re set

[formal estuary]

im honestly wondering how im here at all

[shy marsh]

but i bought it on other store lol

[formal estuary]

cuz like

that is not good i fear

[shy marsh]

cuz like you still have .43Mbps? lmao

[formal estuary]

well yeah

[empty quartz]

My fastest wifi was 1.5gbit

[formal estuary]

it used to be 80 mbps where did it all go wrong

this is on ethernet btw

if i plug the same cable into my laptop i get 90 mbps

[shy marsh]

Mine at 200 plus but that is speed capped on internet since i have 200Mbps finer plan . But wifi 6 so

[empty quartz]

My ethernet is limited by the ports on the ap

Up to 1gbit

[shy marsh]

probly by Ap

that is weird thing i done today choosing a laptop not checking if it support ethernet . and what a surprise it did not

so i have to buy extra adaptor for tethernet and 3rd monitor

[formal estuary]

my laptop does !!

[shy marsh]

or just the rj45 adapter with pwd support . i dont have trust on this "usb 3.0 Gigabit" usb to ethernet adapters

[shy marsh]

i mean i got imprompto on choosing lmao . Buying impulse at its best

[craggy cove]

wdym by die here

dead driver means it's kaput

[formal estuary]

same as a phone battery

phone batterys cant die because if they actually like die die they just explode

[craggy cove]

nice problem to have

[craggy cove]

they can simply not take a charge anymore or supply sufficient voltage

[true stirrup]

Ofc they can die without exploding

[craggy cove]

no need for boom

[formal estuary]

no because if i say they explode that sounds scarier

[shy marsh]

welp between the two choices i had they both dont have ethernet port . what is happenin to laptop

[empty quartz]

#firstworldproblems

[formal estuary]

okay but this is better

[craggy cove]

i assume thin laptop with usb c ports?

[shy marsh]

not thin. aspire lite 15 41p

[formal estuary]

i have usb c ports and an ethernet port am i cool

[shy marsh]

not really lmao

[craggy cove]

that is thin lol

[shy marsh]

the only laptop that is cool is you can use the laptop as sheild lmao

pre historic toshiba .

[craggy cove]

not fat enough for an ethernet port (there are ways around this) and they want you to use a usb-c dock instead

[shy marsh]

was thinking of build lmao it is chunky but probly

[shy marsh]

yea have to buy ethernet but i think wifi suffice for now. i think my problem atm is ram , another table to seperate my pc to laptop setup

[shy marsh]

transforming ethernet port lol

[craggy cove]

is this 5g

[formal estuary]

nobody cares bro i just want my download speed back to normal 😭

[random gyro]

No my 5G goes higher

It’s WiFi

[craggy cove]

oh

[random gyro]

My 5G UC goes to 800-1000

[shy marsh]

wait thus this mean i can still upgrade that 16gb inside the laptop like not the expandable one?

[random gyro]

60hz😭

[shy marsh]

yea. not for gaming . yhat is what pc for

probly 100hz coding lmao

[random gyro]

Best budget GPU for a gaming PC, I'll be doing light gaming if any, Rocket league, fortnite, minecraft, a bit of video editing, mainly music production.

[idle vessel]

i can only program at 240hz

anything else is unusable ...

wait . memory would be limit by cpu? like example if cpu says 64 and laptop manufacture say 32 i can go up to 64?

[distant frigate]

Lol. I guess 6G will address this

5G already slowing down due to load

[distant frigate]

Here’s my WiFi

[shy marsh]

idk why this model has no actual tech spec from acer . so weird

[distant frigate]

Yes it’s 300/300 Mbps full fiber internet. It could be 2 gigabit symmetrical but I’m not getting that

[formal sonnet]

It won't. 6G cellular will be even shorter range than 5G, and carriers are unlikely to build out their networks to properly support all subscribers being connected at once.

4G/LTE in most of my ~100k population city barely functions during a power outage because everyone and their dog's phones overload the existing towers. Cell providers believe X% of subscribers will always be using WiFi calling, so they skimp on cell network infrastructure.

[distant frigate]

Yeah that’s a problem

6G seems like it will use 7-15 GHz and Sub-THz as new frequency bands

All other frequencies will still be used but just moved over

Again the problem is shorter ranges for those frequencies. Will need more small cells on utility poles

[formal sonnet]

Well whatever they use, I want reliability and coverage, not speed. If I can't connect to your network (or I can but your network won't pass me traffic because it's overloaded) then the speed is a moot point.

[distant frigate]

6G should still use low-frequency bands so that’s good

Low-frequency bands are important for the coverage layer

[shell vortex]

which of these monitors is better?

iv never played any of them lol

[ebon marlin]

currently i'm having burnout from yakuza after beating all yakuzas from 0 to 4 without any breaks

[ebon marlin]

yakuza 0 is life changing

such an amazing story

it's also the entry game to the franchise

[clear canyon]

mamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamamama

[sleek ibex]

it's not story related, but rather in the karaoke section. Kasuga does it too like Kiryu but.... Kiryu's delivery is funnier by a country mile LMFAO

[ebon marlin]

excited to get to yakuza 5 cause that means I get to see and play as Miku

[idle spear]

I’m going to do my first water cooling project does anyone know where I can get parts like this 🥹

[sleek ibex]

That screams early 2010s

[idle spear]

I’ve found the resivor but other than that

[idle spear]

More like 2000s tbh

But whatever era I love it

[sleek ibex]

Yeah I started in 06 but the reservoirs I know for sure are 2010s. Probably has seen quite a few upgrades in it's life

[idle spear]

Yeah they still make those reservoirs for some reason

[sleek ibex]

FrozenQ I don't think even exists now

The ones who made the resevoirs

Barrow, Alphacool to name a couple I've seen made the Helix ones

Barrow is probably your best bet if you're dead set on the T-virus look

[ebon marlin]

My phone is autistic as shit it keeps getting tagged by my watch's NFC when I accidentally have my phone touch my watch

[tulip sparrow]

Any real difference between the AMD 8745HS and the 8845HS? Wondering if the 8845HS is worth the sextra $50

$309 vs $359

Both are barebones

[ebon marlin]

The 8745hs doesn't have an AI engine

[ebon marlin]

NPU or wtv it is

Yeah npu

[tulip sparrow]

IF that is all it is I don't plan on ever using AI and will be using it as a HTPC basically running Linux

[ebon marlin]

Although the 8845hs does support oculink if u plan on using an external gpu alongside it

[tulip sparrow]

Ok one has 2 2.5GB lan ports while the other has only 1 2.5ghz Lan port

[ebon marlin]

But since it's for linux I doubt it

[tulip sparrow]

Shouldn't need too use an external GPU for my needs aka MEdia+Emulation+NAS duty with something like this attached

5x8TB is the current amount I will be going with to start with

[tulip sparrow]

That way I get abount 20/24tb of storage space for media and backups

[ebon marlin]

NAS for media centers does sound nice but I can't be arsed to manually download everything I'd be interested at watching

[tulip sparrow]

Also be storing my game roms/isos as well

[ebon marlin]

Haven't done much research on how they work but I feel like this is how it is

[tulip sparrow]

LOL they have the images backwards

[ebon marlin]

Nuh uh

Seems correct to me

[tulip sparrow]

LOL

My linux laptop has the 8840HS and its been plenty for my needs there and I feel something similar will be plenty to replace my large i5 3570k system

[random gyro]

i have 2x m.2 slots

the one that came with my desktop was 1TB, just got a 2TB today

[tulip sparrow]

LOL these others are going to WRECK that N150 system

[ebon marlin]

very interesting to include 32gb of ram but no storage

first time seeing that on minipc/ncu

I'm guessing the N1 Pro ram is soldered

[tulip sparrow]

It does say its oldered if you read lol

[ebon marlin]

I'm personally not fond of reading

oh damn the 32gb is also soldered

that's alot of ram in soldered ram terms

wuwa supports raytracing??

this big of a game i'd expect some marketing by Nvidia but there's nada

pal looks like he's peeking out of a butthole

[graceful girder]

any idea what this template mat thing lmg is using in this video is?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYFZ4HYTsZI

[ebon marlin]

isn't that their mousepad

[grizzled frost]

mod mat

[graceful girder]

do they sell it?

[grizzled frost]

yes

[ebon marlin]

what the fuck why is there random steelseries and corsair products in their store

also razer

[graceful girder]

thx ill go look for it

[ebon marlin]

https://global.lttstore.com/pages/modmat?_pos=1&_sid=9a9f36e05&_ss=r

Gamersnexus iirc also has a very similar mat

[graceful girder]

the more important question is why are u on opera gx🥀

[ebon marlin]

can't use edge unfortunately

[graceful girder]

oh well that saves me a bit of time, thank u lad

[random junco]

fortunately*

[ebon marlin]

correct term is unfortunately due to how good of a chromium browser edge is

[random junco]

preference ig

[ebon marlin]

not really preference

it's genuinely one of the best chromium browsers out there

[random junco]

how many people do you think would agree w/ you if you said edge is a good browser

[graceful girder]

how do u define what makes a browser good?

[ebon marlin]

honestly not alot due to how misinformed people are

edge was dogshit before but they've made it really good nowadays

[random junco]

can be uninstalled, first of all
also features, customisability, etc which most browsers have
then it all lies at privacy and ram consumption

[ebon marlin]

Edge eats way less resources than any other mainstream chromium browser which is perfect for laptops for example as it also eats the least amount of power

[graceful girder]

i think everyone has a different idea of what makes a broswer good

[ebon marlin]

my edge is uninstalled

[graceful girder]

then we're in agreement

[ebon marlin]

to the point that I can't reinstall it

[tulip sparrow]

Edge is a decent browser that came far to late to the party

[graceful girder]

is it a script that keeps running?

i just use librewolf tbh

[ebon marlin]

I also have librewolf but can't stand it

[ebon marlin]

think so it was a bat file that I used

[graceful girder]

i can't stand ads

[ebon marlin]

neither can I

[graceful girder]

also i like librewolf

it keeps everything simple

[ebon marlin]

I don't have any ads on my other computers which use edge

[graceful girder]

and i can install ublock

[ebon marlin]

so can I

[sonic siren]

🥱

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/mango-cat-dance-ai-dancing-cat-gif-4373280976266621514

[graceful girder]

u can install full fat ublock on edge?

[random junco]

edge: 224 mb ram with adverts
brave: 22.6mb with auto-blocked adverts

[ebon marlin]

I just use ublock origin

that works the best

[graceful girder]

why is ram consumption important in this day and age?

[random junco]

can use more apps and stuff and keep them open with more ram

[ebon marlin]

too bad Brave's owner is a loser who I won't be supporting

[graceful girder]

im talking about that, it's not supported on MV3

or more like blocked

[proper gull]

Vivaldi > all

[ebon marlin]

idk bout you but uBlock origin works just fine for me on all my devices

[proper gull]

Fuck Brendan Eich

[random junco]

launched a video:

ok fair play to edge...

[tulip sparrow]

Chrome does NOT use my GPU for videos for some stupid reason

[random junco]

hardware acceleration

[ebon marlin]

do you have hardware accel on

[random junco]

cmon bro 💔

[tulip sparrow]

Its enabled yet doesn't work

[graceful girder]

u must be refering to ublock origin lite or a really old version of ur browsers

[ebon marlin]

nah mate

[graceful girder]

how much ram do u have

[random junco]

haha edge is using 400mb ram when its closed

[ebon marlin]

everything is always kept upto date

[graceful girder]

show me

[random junco]

16 on this laptop its on right now

[tulip sparrow]

I have disabled an reenabled it a few times now and it just does not work for me with my 3070 Ti

[ebon marlin]

because it saves all ur tabs

[random junco]

so does brave but it used 340 with 4 tabs as opposed to 1 tab on edge

[graceful girder]

i usually play games while having multiple browsers and browser windows open and it never gets that high, i have the same amount of ram btw

[random junco]

what games?

i dont imagine ur pc likes that

multiple browsers is crazy

[tulip sparrow]

as you can see its enabled but does absolutely nothing for me

Youtube and twitch both still use the CPU

[graceful girder]

nothing too demanding, just silksong and the like

[proper gull]

Multiple windows is normal... Multiple different browsers is batshit insane unless one is specifically for work stuff

[azure topaz]

edge eats about the same if not more important resources

[random junco]

it doesnt really need the gpu ig

[graceful girder]

it's really just librewolf and firefox profiles

[azure topaz]

edge consistently has .3% higher cpu usage on my machine

[ebon marlin]

is Palit's software any good as this deal is speaking to me

[azure topaz]

palit software?

[tulip sparrow]

I have a 5800x3D and a 3070 Ti and when I play a video when I try and play a game the video goes to shit

[random junco]

software for palit

[ebon marlin]

this thingamajig

[tulip sparrow]

example trying to watch a twitch stream when I play

[azure topaz]

i mean i simply wouldnt use it

[random junco]

hurts my eyes

[azure topaz]

im sure theres better alternatives

[ebon marlin]

I wonder if that'll fit into a CH160

[random junco]

gpu apps are only useful for rgb, other apps can sort voltage and profiles etc

[azure topaz]

other apps can control rgb too

[random junco]

ram eaters

[ebon marlin]

gulp

[azure topaz]

open rgb, msi afterburner. probably all youll need

[azure topaz]

like this matters in 2025

[proper gull]

Mine does this too, not because it's not using hardware acceleration but because the game I play tortures my 1080 ti, which is why my side monitors are now plugged into the 2nd one

[azure topaz]

"ram eaters" like your music client isnt using more

[random junco]

ram for lighting and ram for audio entertainment is different

[azure topaz]

open rgb is using 17 megabytes of ram on my computer

if that matters to you, buy an xbox

[proper gull]

Must be some basic ass lighting setup

[ebon marlin]

yeah it is

[graceful girder]

more than i thought it would be, but im not complaining idc much about ram usage

[random junco]

3.8 bloody what 💔

[azure topaz]

literally unless your ram is maxed, the usage does not matter

[ebon marlin]

openrgb was kinda annoying to use so I opted for signalrgb instead

[proper gull]

My Icue will also use fuck-all ram if I set it to static lighting

[azure topaz]

complaining about ram usage if you haave extra ram available on your computer is stupi

[azure topaz]

its on rainbow wave

[graceful girder]

i have multiple profiles open with multiple tabs each

[proper gull]

A single keyboard

[azure topaz]

and my entire computer

[proper gull]

Checks out

[azure topaz]

whats your point???

[random junco]

my keyboard rgb uses 0 ram

[azure topaz]

do you have more than a single computer and a kyeboard attached to your lighting software?

no?? i didnt freaking think so lmao

[proper gull]

Two devices controlled and a very basic animation

[azure topaz]

one of the "two devices" is my entire computer dawg

oh noooo im running out of rammmm

unused ram is bad ram its that simple

[midnight wind]

this isn't linux is it

[azure topaz]

complaining about ram usage but buying more than you need is missing the point of having ram

[midnight wind]

if not then it confirms my beliefs that this is not an issue unique to linux which i am always told is crazy

[stark kiln]

Good or bad pc

[azure topaz]

bad

[stark kiln]

I wanna do used by my family doesn't want it for some reason

[random junco]

ass

[stark kiln]

My family thinks it's unsafe to do used

[random junco]

wait usd

[ebon marlin]

I just had a nice fart

[random junco]

hey wait thats not bad i guess

[ebon marlin]

for 350 that is quite awful

[midnight wind]

huh what did you think it was, that would've made it seem worse

[stark kiln]

That's what I think. 1660S 32gb RAM 3TB HDD

[tulip sparrow]

Nope this is on Windows 11

[graceful girder]

it's a useless switch put there for marketting purposes

[ebon marlin]

their profit margin on that computer is 250usd lmao

[midnight wind]

lmfao

[tulip sparrow]

My laptop runs linux while my desktop is windows

[midnight wind]

i had hardware acceleration issues on windows as well, i can't remember if i managed to fix it

[random junco]

3+ tb of storage is good for family , 32 gigs of ram can multitask and i doubt its gonna be gamed on, and if it is, it wont suffocate

[ebon marlin]

it's harddrive storage that's basically worthless

[random junco]

buutttt that is the same cpu in my home server and i consider it outdated (but pretty damn useful)

[azure topaz]

what are we considering multi tasking in a home usage scenario

[midnight wind]

web browsers just suck really

[azure topaz]

because 32gb ram can absolutely multitask in a home usage scenario

[random junco]

speeds are fine for family usage. theyre not gonna be maxing out read/write speeds

[midnight wind]

i think you have to be lucky

[ebon marlin]

for 350usd you can easily find a prebuilt pc with a ryzen 5 3600/5600 with a 5700xt
