[ebon marlin]

but I'd stil probably rather get the 5070 since it'll hold it's price very well

[pastel bobcat]

The 9060XT looks really good for the price

Only like 400 eur

[ebon marlin]

i'd get an used 6800xt

they're 300€ and 15% faster than the 9060 xt 16gb

[pastel bobcat]

oh what

I'll look in to it

Hows the 7800XT compared

[ebon marlin]

here's a 1440p chart

[craggy cove]

i offered 150€ cause i saw someone offered 150€ but he was from the other side of the country

he accepted

[pastel bobcat]

Oh nice

[craggy cove]

saw this picture too, a rx 570 (?) and 1060 (?) that wasnt mentioned

[pastel bobcat]

I cant find any 6800XT... damn

[ebon marlin]

Here 6900xt's and 6950xt's go for 350€

[pastel bobcat]

damn wtf

Is Sapphire a better version of the same card then?

[ebon marlin]

sapphire is just a gpu vendor

[pastel bobcat]

Oh right

Did find a 6800XT for like 530 eur

[ebon marlin]

theres a 6900xt with an XTXH die aka same as 6950xt for 370€ that someone has been trying to sell for over a mothn now

they'd probably accept 300€ + shipping

since it's been so long now

[pastel bobcat]

damn finnish prices are good

I'm in Sweden and its so much worse here

Whats with the three extra fans? I am a total noob at this but are they supposed to be connected to the card in the case?

[kindred cave]

I do have secure boot??????

[pastel bobcat]

I cant find 6950XT on this, is that one better or worse than 6900XT?

[ebon marlin]

better

but some 6900xt models have the same stuff as a 6950xt

[pastel bobcat]

Oh damn I found one for a good price

[ebon marlin]

aka the XTXH die

[pastel bobcat]

416 eur for a 6950XT

[kindred cave]

The ignoring go wild

[pastel bobcat]

I hope you never get help now, just because you wrote that

[ebon marlin]

no one is obliged to help here

[azure topaz]

i was gonna make fun of him but you guys got that

[ebon marlin]

You haven't reset ur keys

Zesty ass looking dude

[azure topaz]

[ebon marlin]

Preston Playz if he took it up the butt

[pale flint]

what

[iron glen]

i ate an apple

[ebon marlin]

that's lowkey gay

[pale flint]

ohhhh

[iron glen]

keeps the doctor away

[pale flint]

catto is gayest person in this server

[ebon marlin]

no no no

[pale flint]

yes

[iron glen]

probably

until they meet gabriel gayinator they are

[pale flint]

oh

[craggy cove]

bought it

[iron glen]

heyo

[ebon marlin]

looks gay

[craggy cove]

one gpu was an rx 480 8gb the other a p106 of some kind

[ebon marlin]

P106 is a crypto mining gpu iirc

[craggy cove]

yeah pretty much

[craggy cove]

yep nothing written on it but no video out

[exotic cape]

The fact that Google is free and you have ai overview that generally is correct and yet they ask in chatrooms.

[ebon marlin]

P106 is just the Gtx 1060 without any video out

But there are ways to get video out of it but it requires a higher end mobo

My mobo can do this since I have a workstation mobo

[craggy cove]

at which point whats the point

[azure topaz]

yes and no but no point

you can just use a modded driver thats old and have your computer do what it does for a laptop and just output via the igpu

while processing on the gpu

but that sucks and its slow and its a p106

[dapper light]

Any mobo with a display out can as long as you have non F cpus

[craggy cove]

welp all these btc mining h81s are going in to a river

[iron glen]

woah woah woah
lets not do anything irrational
how about, my pocket

[ebon marlin]

You can still get some money out of it

[craggy cove]

well realistically ill just put it on osta.ee with a 0.1€ start

oh wow a h310 from a literal mine i assume

[ebon marlin]

Just clean it and do a budget build wit it

[raw trout]

Yummy 2018

[craggy cove]

does the g305 need a receiver

or is it bluetooth

[true stirrup]

Catto since you are here, how hard do you think replacing the main camera module in my Xiaomi 11T would be?

[craggy cove]

its just here lol

[ebon marlin]

Simple

[true stirrup]

Good so I'm not cooked

The focus system died

[ebon marlin]

Search up a guide

[ebon marlin]

2.4ghz

[raw trout]

I need urgent help pls

[true stirrup]

Ok

[raw trout]

How much paste to put?

[ebon marlin]

G305 doesn't support bluetooth

[true stirrup]

Enough to cover the die

You can use a spatula

[ebon marlin]

Enough to fill the motherboard or just put some paste on it and spread it evenly

[raw trout]

Also I put a dent in the copper pipe is that bad

[true stirrup]

No

[raw trout]

It was already beant and dented I just straighten it is that bad

[ebon marlin]

Aslong as it's straight it's fine

Like no indents

[raw trout]

Phew

The top and bottom is dented inwards

Like a corset

[ebon marlin]

ay caramba

[raw trout]

Is that bad 😭

[craggy cove]

hhh idk if its worth it

well 7€ g305

that maybe won't work idk

[raw trout]

Also I accidentally stripped the screws in my mbp howd i remove it?

[craggy cove]

holy psus

[ebon marlin]

Pliers

[raw trout]

Ty

I'll buy new penatalope ones and fix it

[craggy cove]

this shit has 32gb ssds bruh

[rigid fjord]

it needs to be enabled in bios

[kindred cave]

I did enable it

And it still was doing that 😭

[rain radish]

Sub-optimal

[azure topaz]

ive seen worse

[raw trout]

Floppa is the dent bad 😭

[azure topaz]

find out?

[raw trout]

If it doesn't overheat im good cuz now it's my backup laptop or my dad storage laptop

[azure topaz]

if it doesnt overheat then obviously nothin is wrong

[ebon marlin]

They haven't reset the keys which also need to be enabled for secure boot

[raw trout]

The only thing wrong so far is CMOS checksum which is normal

Ok it boots

Good now I need to do the transfer stuff

[azure topaz]

well i mean why wouldnt it boot the issue is does it stay booted

[raw trout]

If i don't put the cover on put it on. A transparent writing pad on it it will be fine right?

[azure topaz]

one more time

[raw trout]

What put it on plastic will I be fine?

Cuz I need to take the ssd out frequently

[azure topaz]

slow down and ask coherently

are you asking if you leave the bottom panel off and set something on it if itll be fine?

[raw trout]

Ta

Ya

[azure topaz]

yeah thats okay make sure its safe

covering isnt too important just dont destroy it

[raw trout]

I hope the hinges don't snap

Cuz it's a hinge failure

[azure topaz]

ah

[raw trout]

Temps are doing better

Not hot to the touch. On the login screen

[azure topaz]

your hands arent a good indication of if your computer is cold

use hwinfo or core temp or something else that can see processor temperature

[raw trout]

Im touching the copper pipe

[azure topaz]

yeah that doesnt matter

if you touch a heater while its on is it going to burn you?

[raw trout]

K ima turn off the laptop now

Ok so when Saturday greets me ima put the old ssd in and start the transfer...

Wish me luck

[craggy cove]

i think i bought a whole bunch of lemons

damn

[azure topaz]

pov me buying cpus to bin

this tx550m has some metal thing rattling inside lol

[ebon marlin]

try to get it out from the fan grille

[craggy cove]

doesnt want to for some reason

oops wrong reply

nothing came out but it stopped rattling

what could go wrong

[ebon marlin]

bought lots of useless junk lol

[rigid fjord]

absolutely pointless and dumb

[ebon marlin]

fits him well

surprised he didn't buy those 5000rpm 200cfm fans

[jaunty apex]

Mounting bracket for what lmao

[ebon marlin]

Thermalright uses it's own mounting system aswell

[exotic cape]

Komplett? Elkjøp?

[dapper light]

Plus AM4 mobos come with the plastic mount

[ebon marlin]

Frozen notte doesn't use them

[unborn harness]

proshop

[ebon marlin]

I have the same AIO it uses different mounting

[exotic cape]

Eww, send link.

[unborn harness]

hva mener du ew

[exotic cape]

Ikke kjøp prebuilts på proshop.

[craggy cove]

me too!

[exotic cape]

Non Norwegian warehouse

[unborn harness]

prebuild?

skal bygge selv'

[unreal geode]

will my 550w psu be fine with a 5070 + 5600x
i currently got the 3060 and i want to upgrade to ther 5070

[ebon marlin]

Wait nvm Notte does use stock amd mounts

[exotic cape]

Oops, trodde det var prebuilt.

[ebon marlin]

Mixed up my Notte and Peerless Assassin

[unborn harness]

niks :D

[ebon marlin]

Yes

[exotic cape]

It just looked like you copied the description from a prebuilt

[rigid fjord]

i want to commit unspeakable violence on my ender 3

[exotic cape]

I threw mine away.

[rigid fjord]

it may work but also a decent 750w psu would be better

[unreal geode]

yeah but i dont really want to spend 120€ for a new one

Help

[rigid fjord]

it's decided to throw a hissy fit and not bother printing after i got it levelled last night

[rigid fjord]

at most you're paying €80 for a new decent 750w psu

[exotic cape]

It needs the hammer.

[unborn harness]

should i buy this build or not?

[jaunty apex]

I need a leveller :/

[unreal geode]

also what will happen with my 550w psu if i just keep it

[jaunty apex]

That's the main thing discouraging me from printing, having to level it

[exotic cape]

I had a E3V3 SE with a nebula pad and it just decided to stop levelling and stop sticking to the bed. So I just yeeted that shit.

[rigid fjord]

nothing, it can sit away collecting dust and be fine or you can sell it on

[jaunty apex]

Ive had an Elegoo Neptune 2s

[exotic cape]

Even with an auto leveler it sucked.

I spent way to much money in that printer, just to stop using it after 4 months.

[unreal geode]

no as in
what if i just keep using my 550w psu with that 5070

[valid fiber]

it's probably fine. i gues it just depends on how well it can handle these super short GPU power spikes

[craggy cove]

were these psus looted from a car crash

right side was supposedly a tuf psu

[rigid fjord]

it may work, it might get power interupt issuses

[unreal geode]

and what does that mean exactly

lag spikes?, psu going into flames?, pc shutting off randomly

[craggy cove]

this has to be on purpose

[rigid fjord]

pc restarting/shutting off randomly

[unreal geode]

my max power usage is gonna be around 400-450

250w rtx 5070
80w ryzen 5 5600x
100w mobo

430w total

[rigid fjord]

mobo doesn't use 100w itself

[unreal geode]

no like all the other things ram,ssd,fans, rgb etc

[rigid fjord]

and no, you're not accounting for any transient spikes happening

[unreal geode]

spikes from what though

the only big spikes i know are the gpu and cpu

[azure topaz]

i mean everything spikes its just how much

an dnothing in your computer will spike

[ebon marlin]

You'll be fine if you're just gaming you won't be pushing everything to max power consumption with just that

[azure topaz]

just dont get a shit psu idk

[frozen quartz]

Guys can I use my phone as monitor for a vm so I can have two os for learning reasons also if I want to use the os on my phone with touch is there a software that makes controlling easier also for gaming if I'm away like steam link controls

[ebon marlin]

Someone used a 650w psu alongside a 3090 and they were fine

[azure topaz]

okay this isnt a great like

comparison?

idk the word for this scenario tbh

[ebon marlin]

Suck my fart

[unreal geode]

i got a evga 550w GT right now

[azure topaz]

i used a 650w psu with an 11700k and 3080 and it tripped ocp in games often

an a tier unit

[ebon marlin]

Cause ur system was gay

like that fuckass cat of yours

[azure topaz]

[daring zinc]

guys I just got a new 2tb ssd

but is it normal that my download speeds are kinda slow?

my wifi is like rlly good

but its installing a game rlly slow rn

[craggy cove]

there can be lots of reasons for that

[craggy cove]

mine worked and is probably still working

cx600 v2

[daring zinc]

?

[zenith coyote]

how much would performance be affected if you use a gen5 gpu on a gen 4 gpu slot

[craggy cove]

there can be other reasons for slow download speeds than wifi and ssd

[craggy cove]

not at all

[zenith coyote]

ok

[craggy cove]

gen 5 is still a marketing gimmick unless you need the gen 5 ssd speeds for some reason

[true stirrup]

Negligible

[craggy cove]

yummy insulators

[sick reef]

waste of money 💀

[valid fiber]

well you can still save the board and CPU

at the very least the CPU

[sick reef]

these socket pins are very weak

to clean

[valid fiber]

just drown it in alcohol and hope it disolves

[craggy cove]

toothbrush and isopropyl works wonders

[rigid fjord]

none

[empty quartz]

After 10 months of daily driving the ifon 16 pro max, i can officially say its a pretty decent fone

[valid fiber]

i wouldn't try a toothbrush in that situation.

[daring zinc]

what are the other reasons?

[empty quartz]

Soft bristle toothbrush would be okay, but they’d have to be extremely gentile

[grizzled frost]

cpu, networking overhead, internet plan, host connection, etc

[daring zinc]

so how do I know what the issue is?

[grizzled frost]

depends

you basically keep removing possible limitations till it goes away

or you measure the limitation

[daring zinc]

how?

[mossy sparrow]

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a new laptop with a larger screen and I'm making a profile sketch for myself in terms of laptop specs. I'll hopefully buy it on Black Friday for clarity. I'm wondering which of the 2 processor series is the best option for me in my use case and I'm looking to select either one of these two: Intel Core Ultra 7 2 Series or the AMD Ryzen 7 9000 Series.

Here is the specs I'm looking for in my new laptop plus more useful information:

Laptop size: Between 17,3 inch and 18,4 inch
CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 2 Series or AMD Ryzen 7 9000 Series
RAM: 16GB
Budget: €1200,00
Country: The Netherlands

Let me tell more about what I use my current for and how I will use my new laptop. I'll use it for the same things after all. I primarly use my laptop for programming, working on documents or for example diagrams.

I also will use my laptop for doing tasks online with Firefox and if I'm finished with that I'll mostly play Clash Of Clans on it. I also will watch video's/series/anime on it and surf around the internet. I then sometimes will use my laptop to chat with family and friends.

When I bought my current laptop in August 2021 AMD was obviously the better choice but now 4 years later on the time of Writing it can be changed so my question is again which of the two brands and series the best choice for me is in my use case Intel Core Ultra 7 2 Series and the AMD Ryzen 7 9000 Series.

Thanks for your time, help and effort lastly!

[empty quartz]

Buy a macbook

[steel umbra]

laptop markets sucks rn ngl

apple just beats it all with efficiency and performance in specific tasks

[empty quartz]

Since you’re not doing stuff like cod or anything, get a macbook @mossy sparrow

They also get s tier battery life

And have s tier build quality

[steel umbra]

laptop companies are showing ai into everything and hoping a $1200 5060 laptop sells

[pastel bobcat]

damn man the 2nd hand gpu market here is fucking ass

[empty quartz]

Afaik, apple is the only company that uses haptic trackpads

[steel umbra]

because retail sucks

[pastel bobcat]

yeah

[steel umbra]

if you don't have to don't upgrade

[heavy lichen]

What screws are for m2 ssd heatsinks

[mossy sparrow]

I forgot to say I want a Windows laptop only. I absolutely don't want to use a Macbook

[pastel bobcat]

I do if I wanna play the games I want to play at 60+ fps

[mossy sparrow]

Thanks for your advice but as I said earlier I want to stick to Windows.

[empty quartz]

Why

[steel umbra]

i can't really help you then sorry, the market just sucks

[mossy sparrow]

Why though?

[mossy sparrow]

I used it almost my entire life and I'm just used to it.

[steel umbra]

prices, name changes confusing to consumers

[empty quartz]

The switch isnt hard at all

[mossy sparrow]

Macbooks are very expensive in The Netherlands I guess.

[steel umbra]

amd just refreshing architectures every year

[mossy sparrow]

Still thanks for your advice.

[zenith coyote]

will a gen 5 ssd slot work for gen4 ssd

[empty quartz]

Yes

[mossy sparrow]

I see. Also that the companies want to shove AI stuff onto laptops and customer. I don't want that AI stuff on my new laptop. For example those AI CPU's.

[empty quartz]

@steel umbra you’re a “👎”

[zenith coyote]

ok also, what mobo is better b650 chip or b850 chip

[steel umbra]

gotta provide specific model

[empty quartz]

Btw, id recommend not using the gen 5 slot for a gen 4, since it uses lanes from your cpu

[unreal geode]

is the rtx 5070 a good gpu to upgrade to from a 3060 or should i go for a different one

[steel umbra]

well, they all do, and they also want you to pay for it

[zenith coyote]

i got this mobo is it good https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/amd-motherboards/255801/asus-tuf-gaming-b650-e-wifi-amd-b650-am5-atx-motherboard-ddr5-tuf-gaming-b650-e-wifi.html

[mossy sparrow]

That is bad, they assume that everyone is a fan of AI

I like AI but I don't want my laptop and everything be revolved around it.

[empty quartz]

1 more reason to go apple /hj

[steel umbra]

cannot open it

[mossy sparrow]

I still don't want a MacBook anyway but still thanks for your advice.

[steel umbra]

you bought the mobo?

[zenith coyote]

yeh

[craggy cove]

5€ i thought... but 25€ shipping

[empty quartz]

(“/hj” means a half joke)

[steel umbra]

why it wouldn't be good

[craggy cove]

im beginning to understand why all this stuff was jammed together

[empty quartz]

Shut up kevstinky

[steel umbra]

/hj means lies, @empty quartz don't lie

[craggy cove]

an aio with no mounting and fans? like why

like what even is this connector

[steel umbra]

Acer Ace mace Ice

[steel umbra]

yes, why it wouldn't be good

it has good i/o, good expansion

[zenith coyote]

ok thanks

[hazy quiver]

Hi is logitech G300S good for gaming?

[steel umbra]

no, unless you can buy it under $3 and/or it fits you hand well

[brave brook]

custom fan speed and RGB control thing. You have standard 4-pin fan at top, but you can use this to connect to the fan manufacturers special hub. sadly sometimes this is how it's done (it's stupid)

[hazy quiver]

What are other better gaming mouses

How about G503?

[steel umbra]

go to aliexpress and type "paw3395"

then search on youtube whenever the mouse is good

look if the mouse skates can glide without too much friction

[mossy sparrow]

Okay, thanks

[steel umbra]

if the coating is there if you mind

shape

[steel umbra]

the video has some exaggerations but the threat is there

also, the video is highly composed of AI work, even the guy in the video looks AI generated, his background especially

Why did they change the mounting holes on HDDs‽ ive been cobbling together some new and old stuff amazing over, while so much has changed, how much has stayed the same in the atx standard. And somehow i cannot mount my brand new drives in any of the old cases i found in the attic that is really annoying

[grizzled frost]

it’s been the same mounting holes for like 1-2 decades now

[glad gale]

I thought so too

Or wait

[grizzled frost]

looks like the mount was standardized in 1987

[glad gale]

Exactly. How does this antec case from the id say the 00s not have the same compatible hdd mounts with new drives???

[grizzled frost]

likely user error

[glad gale]

Fuck off

[grizzled frost]

rude

[zenith coyote]

guys will a gen5 5090 work on a gen 4 gpu slot or will it ruin performance by a lot

[grizzled frost]

<1% difference

[ebon marlin]

damn i5 135u only has 2 real cores lmao

[zenith coyote]

ok

[glad gale]

Im rude? Youre accusing me

But sorry yeah that was a bit rude of me

[brave brook]

could be worse https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/226449/intel-pentium-gold-processor-8500-8m-cache-up-to-4-40-ghz/specifications.html

[ebon marlin]

that's a pentium

[ebon marlin]

for a pentium that's understandable

but an i5 with only 2 real cores

last gen i5 aswell

[glad gale]

i have put the bracket every conceivable way and when i line up some holes on the new hdd the other holes do not align. And the bracket fits perfectly on older hdds

Even my newest other hdd (DOM 2018) fits perfectly on those brackets, these new drives in purchased ~ 1 month ago have changed the mounts (on the bottom, the side mounts look the same) what the fuck

Also i retract my apology, youd have to be blind to fuck up putting screws in holes

[brave brook]

without pictures, i find that hard to believe, as hard drive mounting holes are standardized

someone making the case tried to save 5 cents on materials

for example here are the fractal trays with all 3 positions (holes are big because rubber mounts)

[glad gale]

Yeah 😑

[brave brook]

are you trying to use Antec P180/182 ?

[brave brook]

if yes, then time to get a 3D printer and print yourself a longer bracket https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5111406

[glad gale]

I need a 3d printer😭

I want one so bad

[brave brook]

Sonata or whatever, i was close enough. Alternatively get a 5.25" bay cage for 3.5" HDD

i prefer to let my drives hanging so when you put your pc inside a car and you go over a car bump the drives enjoy the ride

[brave brook]

Antec Solo

[steel umbra]

[glad gale]

Wow impressive

[brave brook]

you could use the trays or this. They were both standard mounts on the Solo

3 drives hanging or 4 on trays

also

[glad gale]

Is that the exact trays i have?

[brave brook]

yes, it is same manufacturer from same era

[limpid ivy]

huh at least the cables are tucked away

[brave brook]

reviewers still managed to make it horrible

[limpid ivy]

ah the days of solid panels lol.

[glad gale]

Well to be fair mine didnt have a side panel on the other side to tuck cables behind so theres not much you can do really

[steel umbra]

yeah, no visible, no problemo

[limpid ivy]

working on redoing mines but also I really don't wanna. The corsair cables manage well but are stubborn half the time without me using velcro

[brave brook]

someone had an exact same issue as you using Fractal Design trays 🙂

😄

[limpid ivy]

shoved it in the basement and forget about it.

[glad gale]

Lmao, maybe in a pc but i dont wanna do that in a server

Maybe i can put my pc in the antec case and put the server in my case?🤷

[glad gale]

I hope my gpu fits in the antec

[glad gale]

Hell yeah

Man antec was so cool back then

[brave brook]

nothing beats Bitfenix T10 Mirror tho in reflection

Thats a shame because the next case im disecting to see if i can use would probably be a fractal design

guys for RAM, is it okay to have 2 ddr5 16gb 5600MHz CL36, but the only difference is the company who made them?

Or does it HAVE to be the exact same?

I know the type have to be the same, but company

[limpid dune]

That Xeon might actually be a downgrade... it has a much slower clock speed, and that particular xeon isn't 1x16 core, it's 2x8 core (it's internally split into two NUMA nodes)

[limpid dune]

in general, it has to be the exact same in order for the profiles to match. If you can overclock the RAM, though, you can manually make your own profile which will be good

[river creek]

Boys, I just got myself a new paper weight

RX6800XT

[limpid dune]

is it an OCable system? if so, you can override the timings anyway and set your own. Also dang, I wish they would stop making prebuilts with ONE CHANNEL

It's 3.1ghz on all cores. Single core performance is slightly lower when comparing to my current cpu with mild overclocks

what type of ram should i get for this
-# im turning this into a gaming pc intel xeon E5-2680 v3 and msi gtx 1050ti this use to be my dads server

[craggy cove]

ddr5 cause its really fast

[pastel bobcat]

ddr7, latest ram, you need atleast 128gb for a system like that though

[placid umbra]

it doesn’t support

only ddr4

[limpid dune]

nope, all LGA-2011v3 chips that have 12 or more cores are dual-NUMA. It's why the 12-core Xeons are more expensive than the 10-core versions, because they're a nightmare to use, and it's why the i7s stop at 10 cores. It is a single die, but it's dual-NUMA because Intel was still using the ring bus until Kaby Lake

so effectively, the E5-2647v4 behaves like a dual-socket system, each with dual-channel memory

[placid umbra]

@limpid dune is xeon e5-2680 v3 good yes or no question

[craggy cove]

oh wow really

i bought this at a thrift store for $20

[limpid dune]

it's pretty good for LGA-2011v3, but I would recommend the 10-core chips for normal/gaming use, unless you have some kind of workload that can use two NUMA nodes. Also the i7-6???X are a good option

if you dont mind power consumption sure

[placid umbra]

• it had all its stuff except for the ram

it got 2 ssds for some damn reason

[limpid dune]

here's the diagram I was looking for.

Broadwell also supports a cluster-on-die setting, which creates two NUMA nodes per socket. In this mode, a NUMA node covers a single ring bus, connected to a dual channel DDR4 memory controller.

I'm terribly sorry, I was wrong, turns out it's optional.

[tired bear]

what brand is it?
to me it looks like either dell or hpe

[limpid dune]

before you call other people idiots, please remember that LDA-2011v3 is a quad channel socket. You need four DIMMs to fill it

[placid umbra]

this is a hp motherboard im pretty sure

its a HP-Z640

[crude glen]

most ali boards are only dual channel

[tired bear]

this is not aliexpress

[tribal sentinel]

My 7900 xt has a hotspot of around 85 to 90 with core temp of 65 is the hotspot temp a issue

[random junco]

its fine

[limpid dune]

most of them are four DIMM unless they're ITX or something

[crude glen]

we were talking about ali boards....

[random junco]

this has four

[limpid dune]

also remember: LGA2011-1 and LGA2011v3 are DIFFERENT SOCKETS

v3 is the faster one (Haswell/Broadwell)

[crude glen]

you dont have to run quad channel tho do you

that was question not sarcasm

[limpid dune]

you don't need to, but it's a really good idea

[tired bear]

i am talking to unseeno, dont know what you are larping about

[limpid dune]

woah, that's insane

[solid quail]

You were right on them having separate imc:s for each half, but they act together as a quad channel imc. Any core can access either memory controller, of course the local cores have slightly lower latencies, but it is still significantly faster than cpu 0 trying to access memory from cpu 1 on an actual dual socket system

[limpid dune]

notice that it's the same style of connection as the Ryzen 1800X lmao

[solid quail]

Exactly!

[limpid dune]

and it has memory latency lows... just like the 1800X 🤣

[tired bear]

thats nothing compared to stockpile 5mall5nail5 has

1950Xes are around $100 on ebay these days, and the motherboards are $200 ish

[vagrant solstice]

Hi guys, I was watching a video and I noticed this person had a cable connected there at the circle, does anyone know what that is for? I have the same mobo and don't have a cable plugged in there pls let me know.

[tired bear]

it is cheap but mobos are still pricy

[limpid dune]

very good price for 16 Zen cores (but with horrible memory latency), quad-channel DDR4, overclocking to 4.0GHz, and TONS of PCIe

[tired bear]

does it support rdimms?

[limpid dune]

that's just USB plugs, probably going to the front of the case

[solid quail]

How much pcie did zen threadrippers have? I forgot

[vagrant solstice]

Are you sure? I don't have it plugged in, and my front USB all work

[tired bear]

extra pcie power?

[vagrant solstice]

So what does that do? Because I don't know😭

[limpid dune]

64 lanes IIRC, but I think it depends on mobo

[vagrant solstice]

Is it extra port for my gpu or something

[limpid dune]

don't worry dude, if everything works, you don't need those plugs. all motherboards have tons of extra plugs

[solid quail]

Damn, the 40 lanes on broadwell look so few compared to that

But hey, luckily my mobo has a plx chip

[vagrant solstice]

Okay if you say so man. I hope I don't ruin my mobo..

[random junco]

you wont ruin it by not plugging a cable in

[solid quail]

Sorry, two plx chips

[limpid dune]

if you look in the manual (or post the mobo name here) that'll say

what do you mean

[random junco]

fov curve

[ocean axle]

none of the lines are straight

the normal projection matrix preserves a stright line

[unreal geode]

did gigabyte get better over the years with their components they sell?
i heard in the past to avoid this brand at all times

[random junco]

i had a gigabyte gpu i had no problems

[wheat torrent]

youre right but on normal projection everything is heavily distorted

[ocean axle]

and actually, how in the fuck? that looks like its warping the polys,

[unreal geode]

why did it have a bad reputation

[wheat torrent]

objects on the edges of the monitor are 4-5 times bigger

[ocean axle]

i dont even see the straight edge id expect on the edge of a poly

[wheat torrent]

this keeps everything the same size

[dapper gull]

My old motherboard I just switched out was gigabyte had lots of driver issues and on their website it had amd drivers for Intel boards

[ocean axle]

is that just a different projection matrix?

[random junco]

dont recall them having one

[wheat torrent]

no

[random junco]

this is the same with every brand tho tbh

[wheat torrent]

here is normal FOV, the dummy in the first image is in the middle of the screen

while the dummy in the second image is on the edge of the screen

how is that being drawn?

x99 was the worst platform

[wheat torrent]

im mostly curious on how the side of a poly is getting curved

a "2d" straight line being curved

[wheat torrent]

149 368 320 pixels

[unreal geode]

so i should i not get a gigabyte gpu

[wheat torrent]

you render normally then you curve afterwards

[ocean axle]

so, its not pixel perfect because it distorts the framebuffer after the fact?

[wheat torrent]

minecraft is not pixel perfect in the first place

sadly this is unusable imo

I lose all perception of depth

but I guess I could get used to it

[ocean axle]

something like it is likely useful for VR

because there you aren't simulating depth at all

[wheat torrent]

the problem is when looking up and down

but my conclusion is that super ultra wide is not gaming friendly imo

[ocean axle]

yea, no, they aren't

[wheat torrent]

I don't see why you would want objects on the side of your monitor to take 20 inches in size

[ocean axle]

a lot of the math assumes 1:1

or close enough that you dont get into super distorted

16:9 is close enough

[serene pumice]

Real & True! Make Eye-infinity™ Great Again!

[wheat torrent]

I could see ultra wide usable

not super ultra wide

my setup is 86"

[ocean axle]

even 21:9 is only a 2.3 ratio, but your 3x4k setup (48:9) is getting up to 5.3

[wheat torrent]

yep

[ocean axle]

and the math is best suited for 1:1

[wheat torrent]

scaling the window down to my main monitor

then a few inches on both side is MORE usable

[teal sinew]

good bait bro

[wheat torrent]

but then I don't want to find out if vsync would sync with 3 monitors

[ocean axle]

yes*

[wheat torrent]

• ugly seams

[ocean axle]

IMO, for this kind of thing, using a VR headset makes more sense

[wheat torrent]

fair

im not really into games I cant remember when I played last time

but since I got this I might as well try some things

[ocean axle]

you dont need VR controls and a perfect POV either

even a VR "control station" kind of thing would work

[wheat torrent]

in my case with this minecraft mod, it has to render the world 6 times

[ocean axle]

what mod is it?

[wheat torrent]

but im looking around and apparently unity and unreal engine has native panini rendering

I guess that is more optimized

[ocean axle]

multiview rendering can be used to do it all in one pass

thats true for MC as well, MC just isn't setup very well for doing that (currently)

6700 is better

[ebon marlin]

I'd check ur local used marketplace as I've seen rtx 3060 builds for similar prices

[stark kiln]

im trying to convince my family to find a pc on FBM

I found a 350$ combo with a 2060 and a good cpu I forgot and a 144hz monitor

if I can do that ill def get it

it got an 3700x actually

[random junco]

6th and 7th gen barely have a difference

[stark kiln]

so if I get a 350$ 7500 1660s pc it wont be as different as a 400$ 6700 one?

(they bumped up the 6700 from 350$ to 400$ holy hell)

[random junco]

and most of those PCs got A LOT of storage

like 3tb HDD which is enough for all the games I want to play

[random junco]

3tb is a lot but gaming on a hdd,,,? ouch

[stark kiln]

well better than nothing lol

• even if it takes a lot of loading time I can wait, enough to get something to eat

[random junco]

underrated reply

getting food while waiting for games is actually useful

[sinful cobalt]

practising boredom isnt bad

[indigo basin]

WindowsRPC just bound itself to 25565
i spent like 20 minutes wondering why my minecraft server was crashing
i hate windows

why the hell is windows binding its own processes all the way down in that port range though

[stark kiln]

Shit forgot to blur my zip

[rough salmon]

Hey so I have my old gaming pc and I wanna get a new graphics card tho, I only want it for like black ops 3 what’s a good gpu for it

[crude glen]

what cpu does it have?

[left trellis]

is 77 degrees fine for an ssd

[left trellis]

anything around a 1660 super lol

for a new graphics card

a b580 depending on your cpu

but if you go used your options are insane

[latent pasture]

even in my thin laptop it doesnt get that high lmao

[stark kiln]

I think ill get a pc with 1660 Super aswell

[left trellis]

sick

that 1660 super recc was for bo3 at high settings w good fps and other games to

[midnight meteor]

How much are 1660s rn?

[left trellis]

100 usd

you could get a 580

thats 50 usd

bo3 isnt a well optomized game but it is old, so a low end card now will work just fine for it

[stark kiln]

Its in a prebuilt tho but wtv

[left trellis]

how much for it

[stark kiln]

this one

[left trellis]

for 350

[stark kiln]

yep

32gb DDR4 and 3TB HDD

[left trellis]

honestly not as bad as i expected

i can rock w that

[stark kiln]

'better than a used 580 and i7 4770

which is more expensive

[left trellis]

try to buy 1tb ssd and switch it out, hdds kinda suck

[stark kiln]

eh I wanna keep the 3tb it can store all games I want

[left trellis]

but for 350 its one of the better prebuilts

[left trellis]

go for it twin

[rancid blaze]

How you nerds smelling

[stark kiln]

yep, + its for my birthday

idk how but this week blessed me

girl i liked and I became friends, I got 3 subs, did well on my tests, and getting a pc

[left trellis]

[limpid ivy]

Held up by a fan and desk leg I see

[stark kiln]

I can also get a r5 2600 + 16gb rx 580 but eh

its 30$ more and I gotta split the 400$ on monitor and the pc

[crude glen]

[tulip sparrow]

Ok I no longer seem to be seeing members only videos on the main YouTube channel which is a good thing

[grizzled frost]

old

[sinful cobalt]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-i-got-this-please-stop-train-tobey-maguire-gif-17203784

[tulip sparrow]

1 in a long list of videos isn't that bad

Took me a bit of scrolling to see it

[stark kiln]

pretty cool

[tulip sparrow]

Which is far better then it use to be

[cedar cargo]

I took my computer to Best Buy a couple years ago to factory reset my computer cause I accidentally locked myself out. But for some reason ever since then, I can’t launch games that require secure boot. I’ve checked my bios and it’s on. Is there any way to fix this or should I just get a new motherboard?

[sonic siren]

Lenovo NA RAM 2x4GB.

[crude glen]

is the the lga2011 socket compatible with any other sockets coolers

[kindred cave]

Is it worth it?

[crude glen]

pretty good 🤷‍♂️

[formal sonnet]

Not at all. That card is now eWaste if you plan to play any games that need newer drivers.
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/01/nvidia-winding-down-support-for-older-gpus-including-the-legendary-750-ti-and-1060/

[stark kiln]

really good

[crude glen]

not everyone wants to play new games 🤷‍♂️ its a low barrier to entry card

calling it ewaste just because it’s end of life drier wise seems harsh

[formal sonnet]

True, however, without context, we must take some liberties and make some assumptions, thus it's not worth it. If context were supplied, such as the types of games they want to play, it may change my answer.

[stark kiln]

is THIS worth it?

[crude glen]

how fixed are you on a prebuilt

@stark kiln ^

[kindred cave]

So it's worth the 75$?

Or is it better to upgrade?

[crude glen]

what is your use case?

[kindred cave]

Smth like roblox

And fortnite

[gleaming rose]

honestly this isn't the worst i've seen - it is very bad tho

[kindred cave]

No competition or anything

[crude glen]

yeah bro it’ll be fine 😭

what pc r u putting it in

[kindred cave]

Ryzen 5 5600x build

[crude glen]

holy bro

[kindred cave]

?

[plain cypress]

Can I sell my 10 year old slop for that much?

[crude glen]

that cpu is way too powerful for that flu

gpu

[gleaming rose]

misinformation

[kindred cave]

Uh

[crude glen]

i mean like it’s a pretty big bottleneck 😭

[gleaming rose]

no such thing

the GPU will not limit the CPU at all

[plain cypress]

What currency

75$ US?

A 1060 is not worth 75$ US in 2025

Better be NZD istg

[crude glen]

well nibzle what is your overa budget

[random gyro]

Yo

[kindred cave]

It's usd

[crude glen]

what’s your total budget

[plain cypress]

bruh

[kindred cave]

Max 800$

[plain cypress]

1660 super I'd say is "minimum viable GPU"

[crude glen]

i’d just follow a build guide on yt

[kindred cave]

💀😭🙏

[crude glen]

what

not a horrible decision

[plain cypress]

Used AM4 (probably 5600x it's fine) and used RTX 3060 12gb

Does that $800 include monitor and peripherals?

[kindred cave]

Nope

[crude glen]

monitor you can most likely get for free on a local marketplace, might not be the best but still free

[kindred cave]

Just card

[crude glen]

bro 800 is a lot

[plain cypress]

$800 for just video card I'm confused now

[crude glen]

yeah what

[kindred cave]

How 😭

[crude glen]

so you have 800 us dollars to spend on just a graphics card?

to play fortnite and roblox?

[kindred cave]

Yes

[formal sonnet]

Nice capacitors.

[crude glen]

???????????????

[kindred cave]

Casual no like huge fps

[crude glen]

bro just get a used 3060 😭

[plain cypress]

Let us be clear
Eight hundred American bucks for a whole ass PC
Or $800 for just a GPU

[kindred cave]

Gpu

The graphics card

[plain cypress]

I'm about to riot

[crude glen]

this can’t be happening

[kindred cave]

I'm so confused

[sleek remnant]

im gonna try to make dual boot

[plain cypress]

Are you okay with spending the whole $800 or that is simply your max budget

[sleek remnant]

i meant im gonna try*

[plain cypress]

Because the easy answer is $750 5070ti

[crude glen]

https://a.co/d/bAhPVoC

[kindred cave]

I don't care if y'all are stressed I can do like 1200

[crude glen]

??????

bro u need nothing more than like a 2060

[plain cypress]

No we just want you to be clear with your budget and list of components you need

[crude glen]

just buy a 3060 and be happy 😭

[kindred cave]

I already have a computer

[plain cypress]

Why were you shopping for a 1060 then

[kindred cave]

It's a Ryzen 5 5600x with 32 GB of ram- prime motherboard

[crude glen]

yeah

[kindred cave]

I was told it was the best option

[crude glen]

by who ☠️

[kindred cave]

I was wondering why it was so cheap lol

[crude glen]

it’s super old

[plain cypress]

It really wasn't

[crude glen]

just get a 3060

[plain cypress]

$75 for a GTX 1060 ain't a deal

[crude glen]

it was a fine price for what it is. used gpu market is still fried

[kindred cave]

Ah,

[crude glen]

1060 isn’t good tho

[plain cypress]

Not for a fucking GTX 1060

[kindred cave]

What's the best GPU on the market

[gleaming rose]

5090

[crude glen]

like the 5090 but you don’t need that

[plain cypress]

Arc A310

[crude glen]

actually it’s the gt 710

[kindred cave]

Why are there so many different answers 😭🙏

[crude glen]

710 is the amount of fps in fortnite at 0% low

[stark kiln]

400$

[crude glen]

bro we’re pulling your leg.

[formal sonnet]

Because "best" is relative to a variety of factors. There is no "best" anything - there is just "best" for your needs.

[crude glen]

all you need is a 3060
