[kindred cave]

?

[clear canyon]

its a 5070, no stutter or lag

[kindred cave]

Yeah

Its a 700$ card lmao

So i hope not

[ebon marlin]

5070 is faster than a 3090

[clear canyon]

what res are you playin at

[ebon marlin]

Gonna get my 5070 for 450€ yum

[clear canyon]

yeah

[kindred cave]

I mean i imagine it would be??

[clear canyon]

the 3090 is a bit slower than a 4070ti

[kindred cave]

Wait why is this kinda scaring me- Whats the best card for gaming currently?!?!

[clear canyon]

5090

[kindred cave]

..

[clear canyon]

its in a league of its own

[kindred cave]

Then why is everyone saying its bad?!?!?!?

[tulip sparrow]

I want to wiat till the Super viants of the 50 series start popping up so I can see if they are worth the extra money over the cheaper cards for me me for both 1440p and VR gaming

[clear canyon]

a 5080 isnt even close

[clear canyon]

its like $4k

[tulip sparrow]

The extra VRAM on the 5070 Super bieng 18GB would be great for it since I need extra ontop of what the games already use for VR

[bold laurel]

im using 65gb ram with 3 windows servers 💀

[kindred cave]

holy cow 💀

so imma assume ts is fake 🤣

[clear canyon]

very

[kindred cave]

💀

are pny brands fake...??!?!

[clear canyon]

no

[kindred cave]

I dont get the difference in brands

[ocean axle]

nvidia makes the chip
PNY/MSI/ASUS/etc make the rest of the card

[clear canyon]

I had a pny 4070ti before I traded it to a friend for his 3090 and it runs great

[ebon marlin]

No?

[tulip sparrow]

China has been ripping those apart to add more VRAM to them

[ebon marlin]

Doesn't PNY also make Nvidia's quadro/workstation cards

[clear canyon]

yes

[ocean axle]

yes

[steel umbra]

creepyhead why lyin pny obviously sounds fake, i've definitely never held a 3090 pny in hands

200%.

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/druski-gif-18348698948575815487

[tulip sparrow]

So you wouldn't surprise me if it was a borked card with issues that they couldn't fix so they are trying to offload it so someone else

[kindred cave]

So does that not make it better??

[ocean axle]

for gaming, generally no

[clear canyon]

they use it for AI workloads

[tulip sparrow]

No it does not LOL

[ocean axle]

unless the card has too little, in which case yes

so long as it has enough, it has enough

for AI workloads, you can never have enough (more vram just means bigger model)

[tulip sparrow]

Pretty sure they have been doing either double the vram or replacing them with a 1GB higher amount per chip

aka replacing 2gb chips with 3gb for example

[ocean axle]

i think there are some trippe/quadriple ones

ie: 96GB 5090

or 72GB 4090

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah

and thus they are treying to sell off the "broken" ones that didn't work for the switch

So yeah I wouldn't touch any GPU coming from china like that

Pretty sure the replacmeent VRAM models are for use inside of China itself

and don't get exported

[grizzled frost]

the replacement VRAM models aren’t models, they’re third party modifications

[tulip sparrow]

Doesn't dispute that they are for sale inside china only

Pretty sure they also end up with server style coolers as well aka blower shrouds vs the standard tripe fan setups

[grizzled frost]

depends on the seller

[tulip sparrow]

along with a modified BIOS onboard

[dawn tundra]

can i use my ethernet port for rs232 debugging

[clear canyon]

not that Ik of

[distant frigate]

Lmao this looks wild

[tulip sparrow]

Maybe? Think I have seen cables that are RS232 on one end with a ethernet jack on the other

Think I had a cable at one point that was just that

[dawn tundra]

it seems to be rs232 as a rj45 port?

i was told to get a serial to rj45 cable

[urban copper]

https://discordapp.com/channels/375436620578684930/1424823033792561324

[tulip sparrow]

Cable like this basically yeah @dawn tundra

[robust trail]

those are the devil

[tulip sparrow]

I had a cable like that at one point I am sure

[robust trail]

https://tenor.com/view/hugo-weaving-lord-of-the-rings-gif-12671347

[left dove]

I'm stuck again :(

[tulip sparrow]

Theres also the other type

[robust trail]

I can't believe that they havent standardized a USB serial connection instead of this jenk shit

[left dove]

It's Cisco

[robust trail]

fair

[dawn tundra]

more like this

[tulip sparrow]

and yeah the cable was an odd color I had not seen before in a cable

[robust trail]

I always see them in powder blue

[dawn tundra]

like this color

[tulip sparrow]

AKA the first image I posted yeah

[robust trail]

Oh yeah

[azure topaz]

we have other ones at work mine are black with the typical strain reliefs

[robust trail]

derp sorry meetings and video editing and firmware flashing and camera work and all the shit

[azure topaz]

comes with my UPS's we get at work

[gleaming rose]

is this USB to ethernet

[azure topaz]

serial

[tulip sparrow]

It was in a box with a bunch of other stuff that I got from someone

[azure topaz]

its not ethernet its just serial

like using hdmi for pcie

[dawn tundra]

i need it for debugging

[azure topaz]

altho i think serial out of rj11/rj45 is a normal spec

[dawn tundra]

it is

[tulip sparrow]

Hence the myriad of cables with the ethernet on one end LOL

[azure topaz]

i mean official spec doesnt stop people from saying use this hdmi cable to pass pcie lanes

[tulip sparrow]

Then theres the "new" chinese video spec

[azure topaz]

the new connector?

[tulip sparrow]

I think that was china

[azure topaz]

its like HDIO or some bullshit idk

[tulip sparrow]

The spec was new but the connector wasn't

[azure topaz]

GPMI my bad

[left dove]

Gen purp media interface?

[azure topaz]

i mean it looks cool

[dawn tundra]

This is why, bought it yesterday

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah GPMI uses a standard HDMI connector but different spec

[left dove]

Neat

[gloomy isle]

Does anyone know a good gpu for $100-$110 usd for my friend in columbia?

[dawn tundra]

someone prob droped it

[dawn tundra]

pc part picker

[azure topaz]

not familiar with the used market there

look for low end rtx cards or rx 5000 series

[dawn tundra]

i have to get the firmware for it

it has a battery, i think its dead, prob should replace

[tulip sparrow]

Sorry what? I don't think that is how that works

[dawn tundra]

[tulip sparrow]

They trying to do a HD Base-T setup?

[dawn tundra]

googles stupid ai says its not fixable, ive talked to some pl who know

it is

[tulip sparrow]

Hub that has netowrk in that then pushes it out to the devices via GPMI?

Otheerwise a device with just a GPMI won't have network int he slightest

[turbid lily]

p400 which brand?

[tulip sparrow]

You would have to connect something directly to a network to have network capabilities

[ebon marlin]

Patriot

[dawn tundra]

just have to flash it with the software, that is proprietary, and not public, however this model is discontinued

[light patio]

Hey I wanna upgrade my cpu + motherboard + ram

[tulip sparrow]

I don't see routers coming with GPMI ports on them LOL

[light patio]

What is the best gaming cpu atm?

[grizzled frost]

9800x3d

[light patio]

for gaming + screen sharing

[dawn tundra]

9800x3d

[grizzled frost]

9800x3d

[tulip sparrow]

Unless you are doing soemthing like a HDBaseT setup

[light patio]

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D ?

[grizzled frost]

no the intel core ultra 9800x3d /s

[tulip sparrow]

Yeah AMD 9800X3D

[light patio]

What motherboard should I get with it?

[grizzled frost]

one with the features you want

motherboard is one of the most subjective choices you can make

they all perform functionally identically, so it’s purely what features they have

[light patio]

ye I dont need wifi so I dont think I need any extra feutures

[grizzled frost]

IO is also important

Ie what is on the back of the motherboard

[dawn tundra]

b650

[tulip sparrow]

Example how many sata ports and m.2 slots do you need

[abstract wigeon]

pretty much any b650 or b850 will work fine for you then

[tulip sparrow]

Do you need 2.5GB ethernet or will 1gb be enough

[abstract wigeon]

just works out to whatever is best in line with your budget

most b650 has 2.5gb anyways iirc

[dawn tundra]

they are buying a 9800x3d...

[tulip sparrow]

Just a few different things to think about when shopping for a MB

[light patio]

what is the difference between the b650 en b850?

[abstract wigeon]

yeah but saved money is saved money

[dawn tundra]

yez

[tulip sparrow]

@dawn tundra doesn't mean they don't have a budget example I have a 5800x3D paired with a midrange at the time 3070 Ti NOT a highend 3090

[abstract wigeon]

b850 newer, supports newer cpus, might have different I/O
in terms of FPS, nothing

[brave brook]

and

[light patio]

any brand that is better than the others?

[tulip sparrow]

PCI-E X16 slot being Gen 5 on the newer standard vs Gen 4 on the older standard

[long brook]

Jay with the new hyte X50 glass panel. for science https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72EV5RpdUPw

[tulip sparrow]

How many panels has he shattered on screen by this point?

I know he shattered a few just setting them aside

[long brook]

many but wants to test Hyte's X50 curved laminated glass

[dawn tundra]

can somone look at a msi file for me?

idk what to look for malware

[light patio]

What is the max I should spent for a motherboard?

[dawn tundra]

use pc part picker

[brave brook]

avoid asrock for now 🙂

[light patio]

is it worth going for a x870 / e or is b850 good enough

[dawn tundra]

b850

typo

[light patio]

Gigabyte good?

[dawn tundra]

not really just the x870s

[brave brook]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ASRock/comments/1j0by1z/another_dead_burned_9800x3d_on_b850_riptide_wifi/ few months ago 🤷‍♂️

[brave brook]

etc

[long brook]

ive had my X670E taichi carrera since the launch of AM5 2022 no issues

[dawn tundra]

its only recet batches

[light patio]

@dawn tundra what ram should I buy with all of it?

bcs with ram you got cl and stuf

[dawn tundra]

only get 2 sticks

[light patio]

2x 16?

[dawn tundra]

shure

more is better

[long brook]

I heard that could be a possablilty

[light patio]

what cl should I do?

[dawn tundra]

lowest possible

in budget

[gloomy isle]

Best am4 cpu for a rx 5000 series gpu

[dawn tundra]

if you want better preformance get am5

[light patio]

what mhz should I do?

[gloomy isle]

My friend is upgrading to a rx 5000 series gpu and is currently on am4 with a ryzen 5 3400g

[dawn tundra]

6000 should be fine

[gloomy isle]

He has a gt 710 right now

[dawn tundra]

if he can get a am5 mobo

[light patio]

Any brand that is better than others with amd?

[gloomy isle]

Hes not used to pc building and i dont think he is at the level of completely upgrading his motherboard

Hes never taken apart a pc

[random gyro]

is corsair cx650 good enough for a 9060xt oc? My gpu only seem to draw about 185W instead of 220-230

[dawn tundra]

its easy

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bjKkYd\

this is my next upgrade

[gloomy isle]

Twin. He is not a pc builder. He has no idea what a motherboard is.

He is on the same level as my mom when it comes to pc parts

[light patio]

What ram brand should I get?

[dawn tundra]

nether am i, yet its so easy even a monkey could do it

[left trellis]

the cheapest one that has decent specs

[gloomy isle]

https://tenor.com/view/byuntear-cat-mocking-gif-13935821400850516732

[gloomy isle]

Dude, just please tell me what am4 cpu he should upgrade to

[dawn tundra]

try these https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4cCCmG/patriot-viper-venom-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-pvv532g600c30k

pluss you could just watch a 5 min video

to build your pc

super easy these days

[left trellis]

budget?

[left trellis]

thats expensive 😓

[light patio]

What is the difference between the CMH32GX5M2B6000Z30K and the CMH32GX5M2B6000C30

Corsair DDR5 Vengeance RGB 2x16GB 6000 ^^^^

[left trellis]

nothing

[light patio]

nvm one is very old

So ill take the newer one

[bold laurel]

windows core server sucks

[dawn tundra]

its gonna bottleneck 🙏

[light patio]

What PSU should I get?

[dawn tundra]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/sqbypg/montech-century-ii-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-century-ii-850w

[left trellis]

17 whole doll hairs, thats like 4 mcdonalds runs

[left trellis]

how much money 😭

[gloomy isle]

He isnt responding

[left trellis]

5800x3d then

[dawn tundra]

it wouldnt be different than installing an am4 CPU anyway, just different form...

all you have to do is line up 2 arrows

[light patio]

Any cool pc cases that are also good with performance?

[dawn tundra]

cheap

[light patio]

100 - 200

[fringe prairie]

crucial pro is $78? just get that

[dawn tundra]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/kVyqqs/diypc-diy-s07-atx-mid-tower-case-diy-s07

[dawn tundra]

i mean ig

its the cheapest 30cl

[gloomy isle]

We decided on a rx 5700 xt and ryzen 5 5600

(hes going from a gt 710 and ryzen 5 3400g to that btw)

[dawn tundra]

@azure topaz approval?

[fringe prairie]

barely matters anyways

[dawn tundra]

in terms of top end preformace

[fast cape]

My thermal pad just came I didn’t realize how thin it was bro

[dawn tundra]

yep

[light patio]

@dawn tundra is the corsair 5000D also good?

[fast cape]

Do i cut it to the size of the cpu?

[light patio]

I want it to look somewhat cool

[dawn tundra]

overpriced

[fast cape]

Or smaller?

[dawn tundra]

no?

you should be using paste unless you need it to be taller..

[left trellis]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/406265077577

chat is this fire?

[dawn tundra]

no

big sad

[fringe prairie]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-Ofj5nIYfY&vl
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr7Bfr-wPYw
it barely matters

[fast cape]

Well I already ordered the pad so im kinda stuck with it

[fringe prairie]

id save the $18 and use it towards a game or something

[left trellis]

deadass 😭

[dawn tundra]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/q7RnTW/thermal-grizzly-duronaut-2-g-thermal-paste-tg-d-002-r

[dawn tundra]

yep

[fast cape]

Im not tryna spend more money on heating

[dawn tundra]

top tier paste

[dawn tundra]

cooling

pads should only really be used for increasing the hight

[fast cape]

Nah I put a heater on my cpu to cool it

[gloomy isle]

If you overclock a gpu and a loud pop is heard from the pc what could that mean

[fast cape]

But they can be used?

[dawn tundra]

yes but less effective

[fast cape]

I heard it was less effective until it hits like 10 cycles or whatever

And that it lasts longer

[dawn tundra]

capistor, or a mem core melted, also could have tripped your psu

this paste will last even longer

[fast cape]

Arent pads meant to last though?

[dawn tundra]

mainly for bridging gaps, better than thermal grease

why did you buy a pad?

[dawn tundra]

how much did you spend

oh no

[hexed tapir]

Blown capacitor

A exploded spider

[dawn tundra]

psu tripped

prob

[light patio]

Am I forgetting something?

[left trellis]

no gpu

[steel umbra]

not top tier but very good

there are better pastes that exist

top tier highly available paste - tg duronaut

[exotic cape]

Yea, defqon ticket sale on the 25th

[hexed tapir]

Why such a expensive ssd and aio

[light patio]

Bcs it looks cool

[dawn tundra]

bad aio

[light patio]

why bad?

[formal sonnet]

I prefer not to haggle, but if it helps bring the price down, sure.

[hexed tapir]

It's a copy paste aio from asetek

[dawn tundra]

yea yesterday i haggled for some vtg camera equipment

[exotic cape]

What brand?

[dawn tundra]

got a super 8 camera from 1965 for 5 usd

[dawn tundra]

one of the best on the market low end

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/v2kqqs/arctic-liquid-freezer-iii-pro-360-77-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-acfre00180a

if you HAVE to have rgb https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Xh9nTW/arctic-liquid-freezer-iii-pro-a-rgb-360-77-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-acfre00184a

[hexed tapir]

The Corsair aio he listed above

[dawn tundra]

corsair aios in general are 🤮

[exotic cape]

Does it cool yes/no?

[dawn tundra]

its cheaply made, will break fast and wont work well, better options at the same price point/ lower

[dawn tundra]

also that case is*** WAY*** over priced

[dawn tundra]

also corsair ram, no

use pc part picker

[exotic cape]

So the issue is Corsair, that's what I'm seeing.

[dawn tundra]

ehhhh, build quality

so yea

[exotic cape]

On all their products?

[dawn tundra]

most of them

[light patio]

why whats wrong with the ram?

[exotic cape]

I've never had any issues with Corsair stuff tho. Probably only the American products.

[exotic cape]

Apparently the brand

[left dove]

corsair vengeance ram is uh.. poor quality tbh

@azure topaz do the explain

[azure topaz]

i mean its generally fine its just overpriced

[dawn tundra]

just bad...

[azure topaz]

corsair ram works, just why would you buy it

[left dove]

i thought it was like, mixed die

[azure topaz]

no

i mean yes but the liklihood of getting a kit thats 2 ics is low

so yeah its mixed die as in you dont know what youre going to get

[fringe prairie]

489 euro for a 9800x3d stinks

[azure topaz]

but its not mixed dies as in youll end up with a stick of a die and some micron

itll be the same IC, just a shitter IC and bin

corsairs XMPS are made to fit a fuck ton and i mean a fuck ton of ics

basically everything under the sun for ddr4 and 5 now fit into most 3200/6000 xmps

[exotic cape]

I paid 498 for mine

[azure topaz]

this is just like, a mistake, that you can get a valid RMA request on

i just wouldnt buy corsair ram cause its overpriced

if you want to buy an oveprriced kit buy gskill

those are acutally good at least, depending

[hexed tapir]

[dawn tundra]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wc8PZc ehh?

[fast cape]

Good news is that the ptm pad works and its about 35 C idle

[glass flame]

Heyy all,

could use some help, if anyone is kind enough, i have been experience drop frames suddenly, never had those issues in the past year, no new softwear install no new hardware i was able using occt to see that power to my GPU is randomly dropping

[fast cape]

On my 14900k

[exotic cape]

@light patio that is the price of a weekend ticket at defqon

[hexed tapir]

Mines only 40ish more monies with a better cpu

And my cooler has a screen

Very important

[dawn tundra]

lol

[dawn tundra]

does he really need a aio?

for that cpu

[hexed tapir]

Aio are not needed for a 9800x3d

[gloomy jay]

guys 5070 msi or 5070 asus

[dawn tundra]

msi

i wil never buy a asus gpu again

[gloomy jay]

whys that

[hexed tapir]

What's cheaper

[gloomy jay]

6$ difference, msi cheaper

[dawn tundra]

i must have gotten unlucky or smth bc my 4060 kinda sucks

[gloomy jay]

aight msi it is

[fringe prairie]

msi what

[dawn tundra]

also coopa

[fringe prairie]

ventus? just get the asus

[dawn tundra]

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/t4rpC8

he said he wanted a "cool" case

@light patio

[gloomy jay]

honestly, for a 30$ difference should i grab a 3x instead of a 2x 5070

or it doesnt matter

[dawn tundra]

get a 5090 if you are getting 2 5070s

[left dove]

They mean fans.

[dawn tundra]

oh lol

heh

i mean yea i would say grab the 3x

better cooling

[pale flint]

[dawn tundra]

i forgor what's amd's equivalent to the 5070?

9070

[dawn tundra]

thx

[distant frigate]

https://www.lightreading.com/cable-technology/bifrost-subsea-cable-now-ready-for-commercial-launch

260 Terabits per second of additional capacity, 20,000 km distance. More redundancy. Total cost of cable system is $760M

[bold laurel]

i am using 4 windows servers (1 core 3 normal) and 1 client. guess how much ram i am using

[stray portal]

Guys do u think nothing phone 3 is good choice

[lunar hearth]

Keyboard asmr (ignore breathing)

[distant frigate]

165 ms of latency. Not bad

[merry finch]

If I were to get a new GPU, what should I get? I currently have a 2070 super

[lunar hearth]

You dont need an upgrade

[merry finch]

That works

[stray portal]

No upgrade but what's your cpu

[sharp narwhal]

If i had a 2070 super I would upgrade

[cosmic stratus]

@azure topaz finnally got an aio

[thorn cove]

Bro how the hell do I disable this?

[thorn cove]

okay cool I found out it was called xbox gamebar, it should be fixed now

[brave brook]

poor GPU being choked

[hexed tapir]

Not great aio placement

[stark kiln]

Does each press require 10 lbs of force why are you breathing

[hexed tapir]

You want the radiator above the water pump so the air bubbles don't get inside the pump and kill it over time

[stark kiln]

Also y'all think this PC and monitor are good for 400$

[hexed tapir]

Can't even support windows 11

[stark kiln]

Says windows 11 installed lol

[hexed tapir]

It's not official supported the 6700

[gleaming rose]

Linux

[hexed tapir]

Only 8th Gen and above has official support

[gleaming rose]

also I'm pretty sure ms lifted the requirement for TPM

though TPM is useful and it shouldn't be forgone for no reason

[lunar hearth]

i need oxygen to survive

[hexed tapir]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifications

[wind jackal]

the system cant push out 1080p 180 hz in most games and the cpu is going to bottleneck the gpu so hard

[hexed tapir]

We do have work arounds for it, so it's a "hacked os"

[steel umbra]

hella overpriced junkyard pc

[wind jackal]

and also you only have 128gb of fast storage

[stark kiln]

Well my family doesn't want to do used

[wind jackal]

this pc is literally used 💔

[stark kiln]

3tb of HDD isn't good?

[stark kiln]

Well my family doesn't want to believe that

[wind jackal]

its a lot of storage but its slow storage

[stark kiln]

Id rather have a lot of slow storage to store everything without compromising than fast storage that handles only like half the games I wanna play

• what's the problem with waiting for something to load?

[wind jackal]

why are you so defensive

[stark kiln]

I'll still try to convince my family to do used parts (that's just way better)

[wind jackal]

im just stating what im seeing

[steel umbra]

this is literally used pc refurbished and sprinkled with rgb

[stark kiln]

I'm aware but yet my family doesn't want to accept that

[wind jackal]

if you do buy it you'll notice how sluggish the cpu performance is

[steel umbra]

try to coinvince them

[wind jackal]

like if you have a few browser tabs open and a few apps

youll feel the cpu starting to struggle

[gleaming rose]

install Linux on it

[wind jackal]

not to mention its severely power limited in an hp motherboard

[stark kiln]

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/qZyjTM

I'll try to convince this

[gleaming rose]

like actually

[stark kiln]

Idk how to + from what ik it doesn't support most games

[wind jackal]

a 3600 is not $20 bro

[stark kiln]

Marketplace

[gleaming rose]

it supports almost all games

[wind jackal]

marketplace prices are always changing but if you can get one for 20 that's really good

[gleaming rose]

not like you'll be doing much gaming on that tub of lard anyways

[stark kiln]

1660S is bad?

[gleaming rose]

nowadays

[hexed tapir]

Only 6gb of vram

[wind jackal]

theres no way an arc a770 is $160

[stark kiln]

Used

[wind jackal]

i know

[steel umbra]

low end gpu from 2019

[stark kiln]

Everything there is used on FBM but the PSU and SSD

[gleaming rose]

2019!????!

[gleaming rose]

I thought it was way earlier

[wind jackal]

really good

[stark kiln]

So for 400 what can I get?

[wind jackal]

the 1660 super and 6 gb of vram isnt even bad its the cpu

the i7 6700 limited to like 45 watts is really really bad

[steel umbra]

it’s turing

[gleaming rose]

I thought Turing was like 2016

[stark kiln]

Isn't that the 900 / 1000 series

[azure topaz]

for what purposw

[steel umbra]

memory leak

[gleaming rose]

huh

[azure topaz]

are you doing the oc hack?

[stark kiln]

I just hope my family will be convinced to do the build I made

[steel umbra]

gotta install ecc in your brain

[gleaming rose]

ah

[azure topaz]

2000

[stark kiln]

If not i'll still be happy with the PC

[azure topaz]

1000 is pascal

[stark kiln]

No I meant the year

[steel umbra]

if you have any spare gimme

[azure topaz]

2016 is maxwell i think, but yeah

idk maybe my 1080 came out in 2016

[steel umbra]

2016 is pascal and end of maxwell 2.0

[wind jackal]

@stark kiln the only thing i would change in your build is to get 32 gb of ram

[clear canyon]

thats later

catsoup is on a budget

[wind jackal]

thats just my preference because price difference between 16 and 32 isnt that big anymore and i feel the gains you can get from 32 are big

[wind jackal]

the pc he sent is $347

the build is $234

he can afford 32 gb of ram

[clear canyon]

needs a monitor

[stark kiln]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nB3hfd

[wind jackal]

the monitor is not included in the $347

[stark kiln]

I got a 2013 1080p 22 inch TV at home

[clear canyon]

get a new monitor lmao

[stark kiln]

My budget for both is 400

[clear canyon]

over the increased ram

[azure topaz]

will work for now. why such a weird gpu choice?

[wind jackal]

the cpu cooler is not necessary you can use the stock cooler

[stark kiln]

16gb kv vram since apparently it's all that matters

• 3060 performance

[azure topaz]

can you get something better at like 250$ than an a770? something that won’t be gimped on your platform

[clear canyon]

no?

[azure topaz]

in ideal scenarios, sure

[stark kiln]

So why is the 6gb on 1660S a problem

[azure topaz]

it’s not 3060 performance in your scenario

[azure topaz]

the issue on that rig is the whole rest of the computer

[clear canyon]

its weak and 6gigs sucks

[stark kiln]

So why is 16gb a770 bad aswell

[steel umbra]

lies creepy, 6gigs is enough for minecraft

[azure topaz]

i can’t believe you seriously are considering a “new 6700” hased rig

[clear canyon]

you said the vram is all that matters, and I replied "No" bc thats wrong

[azure topaz]

because you don’t have pcie4 or probably rebar

[stark kiln]

So what CAN I do for 400$???

[azure topaz]

or a fast cpu

[stark kiln]

One I did is bad and the one I sent is old

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/kung-fu-panda-skadoosh-cheh-soupokailloux-gif-23982684

[azure topaz]

i literally already told you my recommendation

[clear canyon]

who said the a770 is bad?

[steel umbra]

used ryzen 5 3600, maybe 5600 is lucky

[azure topaz]

get an am4 prebuilt and throw a gpu in it later

[stark kiln]

Literally what I did

[steel umbra]

me

[azure topaz]

can’t go used from what i understand

[steel umbra]

wait, what did i say?

[azure topaz]

are you suddenly allowed to go used?

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/who-are-you-huh-offended-what-disgusted-gif-3477332

[stark kiln]

Well I can try to convince

[stark kiln]

I'll try to convince

[hexed tapir]

Buy a snow shovel and shovel driveways in the winter for more money

[clear canyon]

the 770 isnt bad if the price is right

[azure topaz]

okay so you’re relying on a hope instead of trying to find better options that will work right away

[azure topaz]

or if the cpu is right 😭

[hexed tapir]

Or a rake for fall

[stark kiln]

I live in a apartment so there's nothing to shovel + NYC snows so badly it's pointless

[steel umbra]

if they won’t i suggest just saving your money until they allow

[azure topaz]

arc drivers have terrible low end cpu performance because of the driver overhead

[clear canyon]

na, intel pentium g630!!!!!!

[hexed tapir]

It's better now

[azure topaz]

this will make a 3600 significantly slower than a 5600 with arc cards, more than usual

[azure topaz]

just watched a video on it, and yes, for faster cpus like the tested 5600

[stark kiln]

Well next year there's a job that can pay up to 750$, from what ik it's enough for a cheap AM5

[clear canyon]

pcie3 sadness

[hexed tapir]

https://www.techspot.com/review/3039-intel-arc-performance-cpu-overhead/

[azure topaz]

but another person tested a way slower 5500, which has similar performance to a 3600 in games

gained no performance in all but 1 game

introduced new stutters

[azure topaz]

and this still has pcie4 doesn’t it? 😭

[wheat torrent]

ive reached 12k res

[clear canyon]

ur banking on a job you Might get Next year??

[hexed tapir]

Hardware unboxed tested a R5 2600 as well

[stark kiln]

So what else am I supposed to fucking do

The Amazon pc I sent is bad. The PC part picker one is also had

And getting a chance for a job is also bad????

[clear canyon]

dont bank on getting a job thats many months ahead that you have not applied for

[hexed tapir]

Pay for Nvidia cloud gaming

[wind jackal]

honestly for $160 the a770 seems like his best bet

[clear canyon]

ur waiting a long time, I would not bank on getting it

[azure topaz]

i sent you one, last night or 2 nights ago

[wind jackal]

for $160 there isnt much you can do

[stark kiln]

I already have it my wifi is terrible

[hexed tapir]

Use Ethernet

[stark kiln]

I got none

[azure topaz]

5600G, 16GB, etc

[clear canyon]

yo mama

[azure topaz]

you can afford that

[stark kiln]

Last time I tested it was .17 megabits per seconds

[hexed tapir]

Plug into router directly

[azure topaz]

buy a 50$ gpu later

[stark kiln]

Routers in the living room. Will be a hassle to connect

[azure topaz]

rx 580 or similar

[clear canyon]

so 170Kb?

[stark kiln]

Yep

[azure topaz]

me when ignored

[stark kiln]

5600g with a 580?

[clear canyon]

a770 should be alot better, but idk how it will be when its kneecapped

[azure topaz]

sure. whatever you’re allowed to buy

[azure topaz]

yes, but he’s relying on being able to go used

[clear canyon]

fair

[stark kiln]

Isnt the 580 known to be mined and used everywhere to the point finding 1 is a lottery of it not being mined and ruined

[clear canyon]

no

[azure topaz]

sure, who cares, still work until you can afford something better

your goal is to upgrade slowly

[clear canyon]

mining isnt what kills them, its ppl not taking care of them

[azure topaz]

why would you buy into something that can’t be upgraded period

[azure topaz]

it just doesn’t make any sense to me

[stark kiln]

Well from what ik they don't

[stark kiln]

Wait I said I wanted to upgrade over time?

[azure topaz]

yes. but also why wouldn’t you

[clear canyon]

its just user dependent and there is buyers protection

[azure topaz]

last night or whenever we had this discussion last you said you want something to slowly upgrsde

[merry finch]

Do they sell different CPU fan clips?

[clear canyon]

what?

[stark kiln]

Ig I was tired or was just saying random stuff cause I don't

[merry finch]

I'm trying to use the wire ones and they aren't working with my radiator block

[stark kiln]

If I said something yesterday that's my fault ik

[azure topaz]

you want to be stuck with a slow computer for all eternity

[merry finch]

I get one side set and it comes undone when I try doing the other side

[clear canyon]

wdym

[stark kiln]

So you want me to get a integrated GPU which are terrible (I know as I had the HD 620 laptop since 2022) to a 99% mined GPU?

[clear canyon]

you dont use fan clips on a rad

[azure topaz]

you do realize the 1660s isn’t much better than a 580 right? it also has less vram

you’d be stuck on a cpu with 4 cores that couldn’t go any higher

[merry finch]

This

[clear canyon]

you bolt them into the threaded spots

[azure topaz]

you can’t compare a shitty igpu to one that’s meant to do something

[clear canyon]

thats a heatsink, not a rad

[merry finch]

Vs this

[azure topaz]

the 5600g by itself will get away with lighter and esports titles

[merry finch]

There are clips on the side if you squint

[hexed tapir]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Wz76Jn gaming pc with a ok upgrade path

[clear canyon]

to answer ur question, no, they all use the wires

[azure topaz]

then when you can throw a gpu in

[stark kiln]

You know which games I wanna play BUT esports?

[azure topaz]

you end up with a much faster platform

[stark kiln]

I think I sent the list yesterday even

[azure topaz]

you’re relying on being able to go used

[azure topaz]

this is if that is not an option and i feel like it’s not

[clear canyon]

gotta buy a different fan

[azure topaz]

don’t be stupid and buy into an almost 10 year old computer if not

[clear canyon]

a normal one unless you can take off that clip thing

[merry finch]

They don't make fans that have that

[hexed tapir]

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007614220558.html build off this

[clear canyon]

no, im talking about you need a normal 120mm fan

[azure topaz]

ah yes, my favorite type of new, not at all

[merry finch]

I have a normal fan, the plastic clips were from my old CPU fan that died and I'm trying to add a second CPU fan, but I can't find that style of clip

[ebon marlin]

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-layoffs-leave-many-debian-and-ubuntu-packages-without-updates

[stark kiln]

Let's say I just want a good 400$ PC with a normal GPU that I won't upgrade for a while. What can I do then?

[azure topaz]

you have minimal options for something that you won’t have to upgrade for a while

literally the only way i see that working is if you can go used

[ebon marlin]

JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK

[merry finch]

i have a set of those, they suck because they may have gotten bent wrong

[clear canyon]

cod is a joke now days

[azure topaz]

a 6700 is not the method. it’s not even a new computer. it’s a 8 year old pos with some grip tape, leds, and a shitty you

[stark kiln]

Okay let's say I can do used. What then

[clear canyon]

user error

[ebon marlin]

zombies though

[hexed tapir]

Find a free windows 10 PC people are throwing away because of Microsoft 11 support and buy a Rx 9060xt and PSU

[ebon marlin]

bo4 and infinite warfare have the best zombies modes

[azure topaz]

at 400 if you can go used i will make a list for you

[merry finch]

How so if it isn't staying in the groove of the metal block?

[stark kiln]

Sure

[azure topaz]

i’m not doing it otherwise cause that’s just silly unneeded work

[clear canyon]

bc they fit, ur just not doing it right

[azure topaz]

i’ll post it here so the rest of the gooners to critique it

[stark kiln]

If I can tell my family the PC is already used

[azure topaz]

you should

[stark kiln]

And they say ok we can do used

[azure topaz]

cause it is, genuinely 😭

[stark kiln]

Yeah lol

[merry finch]

Are they side dependent?

[hexed tapir]

In New York I bet it will be easy to find a free windows 10 optiplex business are recycling because it's not longer supported

[stark kiln]

First my mom suggested a PC with a GT 1030, she doesn't know anything about them so I had to tell her the GT 1030 isnt a good option at all

[azure topaz]

just tell them that there is no way a chip that EOL’ed 5 years ago is actually new

[stark kiln]

You're right

[azure topaz]

they stopped making them when 7th dropped

which dropped in 2017

[clear canyon]

for the fan, yes, you put the clips on the furthest side from the heat sink. So if the fan is attaching to the right side of the heat sink, put the clips on the left side of the fan

[azure topaz]

it is the genuine difference between a good computer and bad computer. not reliability

[stark kiln]

I'll do that

If they are convinced to do used that's when my hands can be somewhat untied

[merry finch]

I meant more is the clip bent in such a way that it makes a difference. Because it seems the middle part is not bent so it can actually go in the groove

[clear canyon]

you have it backwards, look at the image I sent

[azure topaz]

then that’s like. a decent computer

[stark kiln]

Also. I found a used 7700xt for 200$. Do you think it's a good deal and can fit in my budget?

[wind jackal]

that has to be a scam

but if its real i think you should try to stretch your budget and get that

[stark kiln]

Sellers highly rated and acc is from 2009

[azure topaz]

wont fit

hope to be able to try and sneak a monitor in the budget

[wind jackal]

i completely forgot about the monitor

[stark kiln]

I got 1 at home but it's the TV rather

[azure topaz]

yeah exactly

[stark kiln]

22 inch 1080p 60hz

[azure topaz]

what good is a fast computer if youre stuck at 60hz

[merry finch]

I got it setup to clip and one fell off...I hate these things

[grizzled frost]

1080p 60 at that

[azure topaz]

yeah

my sister plays at 60hz on a 6650xt

but its at 4k lol

[grizzled frost]

4k 60 i can kind of understand for singleplayer games

[azure topaz]

yeah she plays stardew valley

[grizzled frost]

quite a few AAA single player games are capped at 60 anyways

[merry finch]

There's only one way these go in to be able to go to the block

[stark kiln]

Well then I can wait like a few months to get this monitor

[stark kiln]

It's 180hz so I assume at least in CS2 it won't be bad

[grizzled frost]

it’s still 24in 1080p

[wheat torrent]

Help

[exotic valley]

Overclocking performance for trash bin 5800x

[azure topaz]

@hallow jasper 3dm run?

[stray portal]

should i go for a 4k monitor with my rx 7800xt?

[grizzled frost]

yes

[azure topaz]

probably not

7800xt=roughly a 3080

[stray portal]

theres a really really good 1440p one i have my eyes on but some fellas on reddit said there isnt a clarity difference between a 1080p 24 inch and 1440p 27 inch

[wind jackal]

good god he is lying

[grizzled frost]

92 vs 108 ppi

[stray portal]

is it good

[grizzled frost]

what

[stray portal]

i went from 1440p 34inch ultrawide to my old 1080p 24 inch because i still havent gotten money back from warranty of big one and

i find 1080p 24 inch pretty bad

[stark kiln]

I hope regardless of what PC I get it can run at least somewhat better than my laptop

[stray portal]

i mean the ppi

cuz i want very sharp image

[grizzled frost]

then big ppi better

[wind jackal]

theres no way 1080p is that much ppi

[grizzled frost]

it’s 1080p 24in vs 1440p 27in

[wind jackal]

ok nvm it is that much sorry

[stark kiln]

Also is the a770 good for 1440p gaming even at medium

[orchid trellis]

Does a b650i chipset need a fan?

[azure topaz]

if it’s there on your itx board? yes

if it’s not by default, no

generally a decent rule of thumb

[orchid trellis]

What if i remove it? Its going to be in a nas

[azure topaz]

i reckon it’s there to cool the chipset and whatever nvme drives

[azure topaz]

why not just keep it? your hdds will surely be louder

[orchid trellis]

The slot is being used for a sata to m.2 adapter. The fan wont go back on

[tight lotus]

What's considered a good oc on a R5 3600?

[azure topaz]

it will probably be loud

[hexed tapir]

With my x570 chipset fan experience you only hear it when it starts dying

[left dove]

ur face is loud

[cosmic stratus]

reduce temps

[orchid trellis]

It being loud isnt a concern. Mainly chipset thermals

[azure topaz]

are you throttling?

[cosmic stratus]

as you can see tho I dont have any other place to put it :(

[cosmic stratus]

ohh ok

[azure topaz]

should be ok

it’s probably there for the combined heat of the chipset and nvme drives

worst case just point a fan at its general area

[cosmic stratus]

yep seems to be able to lock at 4.4ghz better now and at 70c full load ~220w

last time it was hitting 85+ and throttle temp is 89

[merry finch]

I finally got both sides to clip in after cutting my finger

[hexed tapir]

Could angle it on a block of wood so the radiator is the highest point of the loop

[stark kiln]

throwback to when I did crappy 3d models

[cosmic stratus]

Would flipping the pump work?

[hexed tapir]

No

[cosmic stratus]

alr

[stark kiln]

Making this photo before my PC so I wanna compare it in like 2 weeks

I'll clean everything on the right up

[azure topaz]

trust

flip the whole pc over

[cosmic stratus]

[azure topaz]

it would work is the thing

[hexed tapir]

How is the top cards temps

[stark kiln]

yeah and blow a straight AC into it

it gives very cold temperatures

[cosmic stratus]

Never above 80c hot spot

Its only for LSFG

[stray portal]

sorry for link but please help me pick out which one to get https://www.emag.ro/search/monitoare-lcd-led/filter/rezolutie-optima-f6126,4k-v31146/tehnologie-display-f6150,ips-v22247/pret,intre-1000-si-1500/monitor/c?ref=lst_leftbar_6411_1000-1500

[cosmic stratus]

Barely uses 100watts for that

[stray portal]

it has selection of my budget and such

[hexed tapir]

True a Australian PC would make the pump at the lowest point of the loop making it perfect

[cosmic stratus]

As for other multi gpu workloads I will have to change the paste (hasnt had new paste from its last owner since he they got it which is 2018)

[hexed tapir]

Can you flip the case so the top is now the bottom

[cosmic stratus]

Nope. Dual gpu set up required a tiny bit of jank to fit them both so flipping may cause issues

Nvm they would be fine but flipping the pc is way too much of a hassel in the tight space it sits in

[stray portal]

I could also go for a great 1440p 27inch monitor but is the ppi difference big enough from 1080p 24"?

[random junco]

every time I favourite an image in my self hosted photos app, I can immediately hear the hard drives in my server lmfao

tiny little sound

[random junco]

I had a 27" 1080p monitor which I found fine, I now have a 31.5" 1440p monitor which is also fine for ppi, I imagine the 1440p on a 27" would be clear and crisp

[stray portal]

I kinda struggle with 1080p 24"

[random junco]

I had a 1080p 24 it was fine!!

[stray portal]

On games like cities skylines 2 it's fine but on counter strike 2 and such I struggle with details further away

am I just blind or...?

[random junco]

my screen was like 30 cm away from me

[stark kiln]

is CS2 good

city skylines

not CS2 that things filled with hackers instead of angry russians

[stray portal]

ya it's pretty good nowadays most issues are fixed and it also has very extensive mod support now

at least if you have optane

that looks kinda old, idk

[merry dagger]

I figured out what's the problem
It happened after I dismounted RAID0 on my laptop

I had also disable VMD in bios
After I disabled it, two ssds appeared in list

[merry finch]

Fixed it

[stray portal]

Should I go for an ​LG UltraGear 27GS85Q or Philips 27E1N1900AE

My system is ryzen 5700x and rx 7800xt

[random junco]

[random junco]

bro didnt hold back

[stray portal]

I copied from website 😔

[random junco]

this one if you play fast paced shooting games

[stray portal]

I do play counter strike 2

[random junco]

yeah so i wouldnt recommend the 4k60 one because u need all the frames u can get

[stray portal]

But wouldnt I be able to get more fps on the 4k one by using fsr and other amd features

[random junco]

your screen would only supports 60, thats it

if the screens refresh rate is advertised at a number, it most often can't be significantly increased

sure your gpu can produce more frames but you wont actually see it

[analog kernel]

this one simple trick storage manufacturers dont want you to know about

Any better way?

[toxic pilot]

The USB 2.0 cable? That's what it looks like anyway

[vague talon]

Yep

Trying to pull it

And it's kinda stuck

[toxic pilot]

Rather than brute force it try wiggling

[vague talon]

Doing it right now, it's half way out, the 2nd half tho is... Eh 😅

[hexed tapir]

That's normal it's a tight connection some people rip the connector straight off the mobo it's so tight

[vague talon]

Got it out 🥳

[toxic pilot]

LOL Oh no

As long as the pins are fine you should be able to readd it

[zenith coyote]

good build ? https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/jVHnxg

[carmine yew]

Seems solid

Although I think I heard canadacomputers has a bundle deal on the 7600x3d

[zenith coyote]

yeah mobo aint good tho

[vague talon]

The ssd is glued, to just pull it off?

[zenith coyote]

should i get the 7600x3d or 7800x3d

[carmine yew]

Idk what you need

[carmine yew]

Not glued, thermal pad

Gently pull and it should peel off

[vague talon]

Worked 🙏🏻

hey guys, looking for some advice in regards to an optiplex conversion.

can a SFF optiplex take a dual slot card?

or are they limited to LP cards only

I still find it hilarious that silent hill f needs a 2080/6800xt for 1080p 30fps quality or 60fps performance

[lapis furnace]

👀

[crude glen]

i have a thermalright in my pc rn

[eager wagon]

My opinion: games are optimized like shit lately
Game designers' opinion: gEt BeTtEr Pc oR bUiLd YoUr oWn GaMe

[lapis furnace]

true tbh

[turbid shore]

need a suggestion for a new puter.

I can get myself the L14 gen 6 with 37 month warranty for £395 (has a Ryzen 5 215 AI) not that fast but hey

Or a E14 gen 6 for £499 with a Core ultra 5 135H

[solid grotto]

What’s the best thermal paste to use with an AIO cooler?

Or does it not matter?

[hexed tapir]

Any name brand paste

[jagged vault]

Hi i am planning to upgrade my old ryzen 7 2700x and my rtx 2060 and i dont know what to buy

[solid grotto]

Any good ones you recommend?

[hexed tapir]

Artic mx4/6

[jagged vault]

Nice

[hexed tapir]

Could upgrade to a new or used Ryzen 5 5600 and Keep your mobo

[jagged vault]

is it worth it or should i wait a little more to buy an am5 processor

[hexed tapir]

Depends on your budget

[vague talon]

Hi, my new motherboard is B850M-X R2.0 and I'm missing some 3 pins headers for fans, is it fine to use the 4 pin one and to just skip the most right pin?

[hexed tapir]

Yeah you just won't be able to control the fan speeds

[azure topaz]

you will

3 pin fans are controlled via dc

aka just raw voltage reductions

[vague talon]

In my old board I had a 3 pin connector next to the 12 pin power connector, am I missing one on this board?

[hexed tapir]

Nvm then

[azure topaz]

least if the board is kinda modern

pumps are 3 pin but you can control their speed

no different of a concept

[hexed tapir]

Also asrock is having problems with their am5 boards killing cpus(not very common but it is happening) so keep your mobo bios up to date

[vague talon]

Not going with zen 5 tho

[hexed tapir]

Even with Ryzen 7000 non x3d cpus

[vague talon]

So to just plug to cha fan 2?

[dawn tundra]

hey amit

[vague talon]

Yoooooooo

[dawn tundra]

how did it go?

[vague talon]

I got all the parts, installing them rn

[dawn tundra]

nice

im glad it worked out

[wheat torrent]

any upside to rendering your monitors at 2x resolution using DRS globally?

are these good ram cards https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/4cCCmG/patriot-viper-venom-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-pvv532g600c30k

[vague talon]

Thanks 😁🙏🏻

[balmy tapir]

so 1920 x 1080 display, but PC is rendering at 3840 x 2160?

then downscaling its one of the best ways of anti-aliasing, but youll tank performance

although i also think people typically do 3x or 4x

actually 3840x2160 would be 4x i think

[wheat torrent]

very interseting

[vague talon]

The 12 pin connector is all the way in? ;-;

[dawn tundra]

yea, aslong as the socket is connected

[vague talon]

Now it is, the clip is locked

[dawn tundra]

lol could barely tell with the lighting

[lean flame]

if i were to lead development of the next Windows OS, I'd take what made Windows XP and Windows 7 beloved and great. and try to improve and make them even better! rather than just try and recreate Windows XP or 7.

shiny and new rather than retro and old.

[near jewel]

averaging 13-17 hour screen on time with new oneplus VP10 update

that's bloody insane

10 hours and barely half drained

[limpid dune]

if I were to lead windows development, I'd take Win 10 and actually fix the backend 😭

[near jewel]

how dare you make a competent OS in 2025

[limpid dune]

top of the list: actually migrate from control panel to settings, fix HDR compositing, DON'T MOVE THE USER'S FILES TO DROPBOX

[swift moss]

government propaganda to keep OSes bad

[near jewel]

we're from the government, and we're here to help!

[limpid dune]

if I were to lead the development of a linux distro I'd... pretty much just end up making pop OS but kde

[near jewel]

don't ask me about edward snowden, titanpointe, the 5 eyes, or pine grove

🫶🏻

[limpid dune]

I lied babe, I don't have netflix. we are going to be discussing the wake-on-lan component of the intel management engine

[near jewel]

some poor soul is going to google all of those and realize how friendly the government really is

i don't claim liability

all i know is don't use AT&T

[near jewel]

wasn't there an incident about backdoors in CPUs

[limpid dune]

which one? 😅

[near jewel]

i love how they didn't even try to make it look conspicuous

[limpid dune]

I mean speculative execution attacks are a constant problem nowadays, thankfully Intel/AMD CPUs have changeable microcode, and Mac users have... well I mean they're just screwed

[near jewel]

looks like a literal fortress

discord being secure is a funny sentence too

iPhone 17 Pro is so weird lmao

[near jewel]

since when was MAC ever invited to the party though

[distant frigate]

Going from titanium to aluminum

[near jewel]

aluminum vents heat better, funny enough

i never understood why they even went titanium in the first place

all marketing

[distant frigate]

I love titanium

Feels premium

Got my titanium iPhone 15 Pro 256 GB

[near jewel]

there are types of aluminium that beat titanium on every level of durability but they won't use it

titanium does feel premium yes

I've always liked fully metal phones

the moto z4, one such metal phone, felt far more premium than its internals gave way too just because it was entirely metal

[gleaming rose]

no point in using titanium if it isn't heat anodized

[muted quarry]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/4PzYFZ is this build alright for a $1500 budget if not what could i improve

[empty quartz]

False

Aluminum is inherently brittle

[near jewel]

special types. like quartz blasted or acid treated. but they just barely skirt over titanium

[empty quartz]

Im saying this as someone who is a metal worker

[near jewel]

my argument is defeated by that you win

aluminum sucks but disperses heat better

[empty quartz]

Thats the only advantage

[wheat torrent]

a singular fullscreen screenshot

[empty quartz]

I have the 16 pm

[distant frigate]

Holding up great after over 2 years

[empty quartz]

Probably needs a new battery tho

[distant frigate]

I love the black titanium

[empty quartz]

Dont get a third party battery if you ever need a new battery though

[distant frigate]

Yeah here’s the battery

[ebon marlin]

Third party batteries are fine aslong as you get a good one

[distant frigate]

It’s definitely worse now which is to be expected

[empty quartz]

No

They’ll always be worse

[ebon marlin]

Well, yeah they're a third party battery that's 1/10th the price of an original battery

[empty quartz]

And you completely lose access to official apple repairs

[ebon marlin]

Wow nothing of value was lost

[empty quartz]

If you break your screen, you’re stuck with alot of issues

(I have a grudge against non official screens)

[ebon marlin]

I dunno I buy most of my devices with broken screens and they all work fine

[distant frigate]

Man I love this black case

[ebon marlin]

Truetone and others work just fone

[empty quartz]

They dont last as long

The glass is weaker, etc

[ebon marlin]

It's a screen not a battery

Screen protectors exist

Just for this reason

I've had a 3rd party screen also survive a fall that an original screen didn't survive

[empty quartz]

My iphone 12 screen lasted 4 years, when i got it replaced for $300 cad (after tax) it only lasted 6 months before it had issues that made it unusable

[ebon marlin]

Pal got a shit screen

Fortunately I don't buy or use those type of screens

[empty quartz]

Oem screens are consistent, 3rd party screens are inconsistent

[ebon marlin]

I dunno all my 3rd party screens have been consistent as I don't buy garbage

Sounds like skill issue

[empty quartz]

Its not

[ebon marlin]

Does sound like it

[empty quartz]

This will never happen to an oem screen after a single drop from waist height

[ebon marlin]

Like I told you before don't buy garbage

[empty quartz]

I didnt

[near jewel]

good lord 82% is good for over 1200

[ebon marlin]

Clearly you did buddy

[empty quartz]

Im not the one who replaced it

[ebon marlin]

Why get it replaced by people who use garbage
