bangerrrr

i remember watching all the parkour montages with this song

[cyan bay]

by how much percent does 3060ti exceed the 4060

[ebon marlin]

1080p and 1440p charts

the differeence between them is very small wouldn't even call it an upgrade

[rigid fjord]

better dubstep song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkw_Hl3qXCs

[solar moat]

time to wake the peple next door

[ebon marlin]

i'd just wait until you can afford something like a used 6800xt/4070/4070 Super'

you can find used 6800xt's regularly for 300

[thorn estuary]

bestest dubstep song https://open.spotify.com/track/0QIYINh2AwmOmdu8CRYvlw?si=86057d654b2c4cf6

[solar moat]

have you lessened ass again

[ebon marlin]

I own a 6800xt currently playing games like Dying Light The Beast and Cyberpunk at max settings at 1440p at 160fps

[rigid fjord]

you should see the anime it's from

[ebon marlin]

getting a 5070 soon most likely

[solar moat]

i watching RFDS

so not much time for anima

[thorn estuary]

broo deadmau5 ghosts n stuff is so good

[livid perch]

i hate wifi, why cant my device just choose the AP that has the best connection??

[rigid fjord]

try watching god of highschool then

[thorn estuary]

any martin garrix fans here?

[ebon marlin]

what the fuck is a b840 board

[solar moat]

its wrose chipset then a620

[livid perch]

instead i have one SSID for one side, and another for the other 😭

[rigid fjord]

literally relabelled a620 but worser

[solar moat]

no overclocking and pcie gen3 link to chipset

[ebon marlin]

how the fuck is a B840 chipset worse than a620

[solar moat]

only pcie gen 3 to chipset

[ebon marlin]

i just thought it was a slightly worse b850

[rigid fjord]

nope

[ebon marlin]

that makes no sense why not name it just a810

[solar moat]

its 50% bandwith to the chipset vs a620

[solar moat]

THIS

[ebon marlin]

whatever helps to make the sale ig

AMD really needs to fix their naming for their products

[solar moat]

they only changed 1 thing and it made it worse

[ebon marlin]

they're selling a B840M board for same price as a really good b650 board lmao

[solar moat]

best part its not listed on amd info about chipset page

[rigid fjord]

bet you many a620's going for the same price as a good b650

[ebon marlin]

jesus

[thorn estuary]

should i use the anti static wristband when installing a new gpu? or do i not have to, cuz idk where it is lol

[ebon marlin]

Asus has a B840 board for 211€ lmao

Asus also has a A620 board for 195€

they're not ITX they're both ATX so no ITX tax

damn would be cool to own a Sapphire board but they only make matx boards bruh

[solar moat]

dont forget amd has the r5 8400 and r5 8500 and the 8400 is way better

[ebon marlin]

hmm an untested b650 board for 60

they sell 3 untested am5 boards

[placid vault]

i have a feeling most of the time "untested" means "we couldnt get it to work, so we pretend we didnt even check"

[ebon marlin]

I see a bent pin on the x670e board

[placid vault]

cant see it on the screen you shared but i believe you

[ebon marlin]

I'm tempted to buy the x670e

[placid vault]

if its a single bent pin, it might be worth the gamble

[ebon marlin]

at the bottom near the little square thing

in the middle

[placid vault]

id still try to negotiate it down more though, pointing out the obviously bent pin

[ebon marlin]

they already did point that out

[placid vault]

ah, ok. id still try to negotiate a bit more :D

[ebon marlin]

am I tweaking or is that an empty spot

[midnight rampart]

yo guys my laptop is stuck at 3ghz even at max modes

[steel umbra]

should be smbus

[wild basin]

Want to breathe some new life into my old hp laptop, what linux distro i should use?

[peak swan]

No popups and still getting updates lol

Tbf i did just turn it on in weeks but still

It isn't officially supported by 11 either so uhh

[livid perch]

how are you supposed to mount these things

[ebon marlin]

those don't look mountable

[left dove]

you.. don't?

[ebon marlin]

those just look you put on top of somewhere

[livid perch]

sigh

why this form factor just why

[left dove]

because its meant for a big home or office

[ebon marlin]

I sent a 50€ + shipping offer

[left dove]

its not an enterprise device meant to be hidden behind the drop ceiling

[ebon marlin]

seems pretty consumer grade form factor

[placid vault]

if your question is whether one of the bent pins is an unused one, then it very much looks like that to me, yes

[livid perch]

i wanna mount it on the wall

that shouldnt be an exquisite thing

[left dove]

do you even own it

[livid perch]

im looking for wifi mesh stuff

[ebon marlin]

ough they want full price 65€ since they've gotten 65€ offers

[left dove]

do you also have a 3d printer

[livid perch]

currently doing the shit thing of two SSIDs in one house

[livid perch]

used to

[placid vault]

best of luck! :)

[left dove]

you do realize meshed devices could be literally just 2 routers with easymesh enabled, right

instead of spending $500 on an overkill mesh system, just get 2 $120 routers and mesh em

[livid perch]

easymesh?

[left dove]

tp link

[livid perch]

ah so its like access points that mesh together to prevent clashing?

[placid vault]

its a mesh standard so you can actually mix supported access points/routers. doesnt even need to be the same manufacturer

[left dove]

its literally mesh networking just like the devices you're complaining about

one ssid and all

[livid perch]

tysmm

they sell wall mount versions too thankfully

[placid vault]

if what you currently use is somewhat modern, there is a non-zero chance that it already has easymesh support

so check your devices first before you buy more stuff

[livid perch]

the newer version of my router does, mine doesnt

[left dove]

so good news

[livid perch]

thanks alot ISP

[left dove]

now you only have to buy one router

[livid perch]

still two, and i have to disable WLAN on my ISP router

[left dove]

Ohh i misread, my b

[livid perch]

because i cant change my ISP router!

[left dove]

lemme guess, xfinity

[livid perch]

router is ZTE, ISP is turkcell

[placid vault]

damn, that sucks. was worth a shot though

[left dove]

It's literally been unplugged for 5 minutes, what

[left dove]

well if tplink is cheapish in your region, I'd suggest them. I use their networking devices a lot and I've never had an issue

[livid perch]

tp-link has a monopoly here 😭

like every network device is tp-link

[left dove]

oh well fuck there ya go bud

[placid vault]

second that, as cheap as they are, they are surprisingly reliable

[ebon marlin]

tplink is ass

[left dove]

"wuhh china network device" don't care shit works good

[livid perch]

infact tp link in general has a monopoly

charging bricks, cables, etc.

every tech shop just sells tp link and nothing else 😭

[left dove]

[ebon marlin]

they're missing so much basic settings and stuff in their router settings

[thorn estuary]

would it be neccessary to upgrade my asus rog strix b450 f gaming motherboard to a newer motherboard maybe a b550, since the pcie is only 3.0 and i just got a 5070

[placid vault]

on a budget it gets the job done. their jetstream stuff is a bit hit or miss, you have some advanced features that nobody needs and some basic features just lacking. the omada stuff is pretty solid from what ive seen, but i havent used it personally yet

[ebon marlin]

nah

the 4090 runs the same on pcie 2x16 vs 5x16

[thorn estuary]

hmm

guess ill just upgrade my psu next then

[left dove]

I'm running pcie 3 on my 5070ti on 10th gen intel, works just fine, homeslice

[livid perch]

so i just need to get 2 of their easymesh "range extenders" (cough just an access point cough) since im not replacing my ISP router

[thorn estuary]

just cant be bothered to do all the cables again 😭

[mortal venture]

looks better than the old one

[left dove]

their range extenders are pretty ass ngl

literally just get 2 of their routers

[livid perch]

yeah the plug in ones def. are

[left dove]

preferably 6e

[placid vault]

overpriced too. like almost all range extenders

[livid perch]

6e hasnt been certified here yet 😭

[left dove]

lolwhat

[thorn estuary]

is it neccessary to use the esd wristband when i swap gpus or do i not need it? just to be safe cuz then ill look for it, idk where it is lol

[livid perch]

yes we're still on wifi 6

[opal gull]

Hey, needing some advice.
Trying to get a TPM 2.0 module for my motherboard but don't know where or what exactly I'm looking for.
Can someone help me?

[livid perch]

even 5G is still not a thing here yet

[left dove]

whats your cpu

[ebon marlin]

oh my god bruh

[placid vault]

in nearly 30 years i havent used one yet, but maybe i will some day

[opal gull]

Intel Core i7-5960X

[fresh nest]

can someone tell me how you can run the proper stress test/stability test for RAM on y-cruncher?

[left dove]

Even with a TPM module addon it won't make the system win11 compliant

[placid vault]

thats to say: no, youre gonna be fine without one. if you have one lying around, sure, use it. but i wouldnt go buy one for a gpu swap

[opal gull]

Already bypass the windows 11 and running on windows 11.
Plus, not needing it to make my system windows 11 compliant.

[thorn estuary]

well i have one but idk where it is and i think its on the loft bruh i aint gonna go on the loft just to look for it if it isnt neccessary

[placid vault]

well, theres your answer. no esd strap it is :D

[thorn estuary]

i should probably move my chair mat then right, cus its not plastic, its like idek what it is like filt type shit

[placid vault]

theres a video collab between LTT and electroboom to show how much you can torture equipment with ESD and it still wont break

[thorn estuary]

yea well i just want to be safe thats all

[placid vault]

touch a piece of grounded metal before you do the swap (like a radiator in your home or the outside of a PSU thats plugged in but not turned on), dont wear socks on carpet and youre 99.9% safe

plus: even if there is an ESD, its likely not going to do any harm

[thorn estuary]

aight im gonna move the chair mat and take my socks off then

[left dove]

I don't think I've ever once used ESD mitigation

[thorn estuary]

sounds like a decent plan

[placid vault]

same, but if he wants to play it really safe, im not gonna stop him :)

[thorn estuary]

i had a period where i got electric shocks from litterally everything, i hated it

isnt really the case anymore tho idk why

[left dove]

dry weather can do that

[thorn estuary]

i mean i guess its probably my work shoes cuz they have some antistatic shit on them

W airtox

also i should probably upgrade to windows 11, but when i tried installing windows 11 last week, when my pc rebooted it just came with a black screen and some error, did it 2 times until it just booted back into windows 10 bruh

[daring scaffold]

New 5600X/5060 build

[thorn estuary]

needs more fans

[daring scaffold]

Agreed

[left dove]

you put a 360mm aio..

on a 5600x..

[daring scaffold]

I’ll put some outside the case too

[daring scaffold]

Indeed, it’s a flip

[left dove]

I hate it

[daring scaffold]

Too bad so sad

[daring scaffold]

Life will go on, you can still be happy

[left dove]

also all negative pressure = bad

[daring scaffold]

Reverse fans

[thorn estuary]

anyone that knows what this could be

[thorn estuary]

snaf

[rigid fjord]

shame it has a 5060 inside it

[daring scaffold]

Was going to have a 3070TI, but saved that for a 5700X build

[left dove]

this build is like something ratchet would fucking do

[placid vault]

something failed to upgrade most likely. shouldve given you an error. id just try again and pay attention to any error messages, maybe you missed it by being distracted on your phone or something

[daring scaffold]

It’s a flip, my job is to make it look good 💀

[thorn estuary]

hmm

[rigid fjord]

the difference, this has been decently cable managed

[left dove]

and there's only one gpu

[daring scaffold]

I should hope it has only one GPU and is decently cable managed 😭

[placid vault]

looks great

[daring scaffold]

Appreciate it

[thorn estuary]

why does my 5070 have a cancer warning on it 💀

[left dove]

lead? bpa?

thank california, everything that touches their land has a prop65 warning on it

[placid vault]

if you dont eat it you should be ok

[thorn estuary]

it just says cancer and reproductive harms

[left dove]

yeah it's a prop65 sticker

[thorn estuary]

what if i lick it?

[daring scaffold]

Looks even more Fortnite kid PC with ARGB 😂

[thorn estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/alia-intro-meme-alia-intro-gif-12068099

[placid vault]

only one way to find out :)

[livid perch]

does a dell optiplex have good power efficiency/low power usage

[kindred halo]

@left dove Cooler La CPU

[left dove]

see look at that normal af build

[livid perch]

thinking of having something to run network-wide DPI bypass at home so i dont need to use a VPN on my phone

[rigid fjord]

gym bro's be actively taking lead btw

[kindred halo]

Whar?

[left dove]

explains so much tbh

[peak swan]

Bruh why am i not getting the windows 11 popup on windows 10

[left dove]

because your pc sucks tbh

[thorn estuary]

gonna eat a gpu next time i go to the gym (which is never)

[kindred halo]

Fish tank cases ew </3

[peak swan]

I have windows 10 pro on this thing

[left dove]

so just download win11 and run the setup

you don't have to wait for windows to say

[daring scaffold]

(Doesn’t understand the idea of selling to the meta buyer)

[kindred halo]

(I am just giving my own opinion)

[pale flint]

ok

[peak swan]

No, i wanna see the "this pc is unsupported" bs

[thorn estuary]

is it rare to find a pc case that has the window on the other side?

[daring scaffold]

(Your opinion is dumb if I’m looking to flip the PC)

[kindred halo]

(I didn't even know you were trying to flip it)

[placid vault]

the smaller ones yes, they typically use laptop grade chips, which is ideal for power efficiency. you dont lose that much power, but gain a lot in efficiency

[left dove]

your flippage is dumb if you think 3rd party opinions are dumb

sit down you turnip

[daring scaffold]

(Maybe look at the chat 3 lines below it)

[peak swan]

Microsoft, please give me the popup
Or do i have to activate first

[daring scaffold]

If they’re from flippers, they’re valid. Not non-flippers

[left dove]

lmao ok kid

[daring scaffold]

Flipping is a whole different animal

[thorn estuary]

is there anything here i should upgrade next apart from psu ofc

[daring scaffold]

Kid 😭🙏🥀

This is not tuff bruh

[left dove]

<@&750150305383186585> scam/advertising

[daring scaffold]

Bro thinks he’s on that type stuff Fr Fr

[pale flint]

tuff

[ebon marlin]

Comet/Perplexity scrapes ur entire computer when you install it to train their AI

[daring scaffold]

Fr bro just built different

[daring scaffold]

Wdym? I use comet lol

[peak swan]

Microsoft
Please give me the "this pc is too shit" popup

[daring scaffold]

Just installed it for the free chess reviews 😂

[left dove]

ohhh my god jonathan is a techbro this explains so much

[daring scaffold]

What does this even mean lol

[pale flint]

this pc is ass, session terminated.

[carmine yew]

inb4 he thinks that's a compliment

[placid vault]

the way hes saying it is wrong, but what hes saying isnt entirely. if you flip stuff, you need to look at what the market wants. while i personally dont like a fishtank case too much, its really popular and sells extremely well. so creating a pc for yourself or creating one to flip is a different thing

[meager willow]

Is it ok to ask tech support questions in this chat or should I do that somewhere else

[pale flint]

ask

[daring scaffold]

Exactly, bro actually has comprehensive thinking skills. My personal is a blackout build, I don’t make those to sell

[carmine yew]

you can always ask but may or may not get an answe, but #1027757333117415424 is for support threads

[ebon marlin]

All the sources in their vulnerabilities and other suspicious shit they do can be found here
https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/1nygt7n/a_friend_sent_me_this_is_it_true/

[left dove]

flippage usually equates to scalpage nowadays, something that I am vehemently against

[daring scaffold]

Bet thx

[daring scaffold]

LOL

[peak swan]

Listed this freaking thing for 50€ on fb marketplace
I got it for free lol
Then put windows 11 on it and welp now people will probably want it

[daring scaffold]

You obviously understand nothing about flipping, thats the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time 😂

[ebon marlin]

No dedicated vram?

[carmine yew]

apu

shared system ram

[placid vault]

i mean, just like any business you can do it ethically or you can scam people. im fine if people flip it in an ethical way, but if you jack up prices like mad, youre essentially scamming people. im very much against that

[ebon marlin]

Yeah but windows lists that

[carmine yew]

depends on the bios, some don't

[peak swan]

It has windows 11 and that's all people want

[meager willow]

So I just built a new pc and having a problem with drive. It’s a weird problem. Any suggestions would be nice. Whenever I do a warm boot (like a restart) my m.2 does not get detected in bios. But when I do a cold start (like shut down or complete power off) it loads up and boots in to windows no problem.

[daring scaffold]

I make about $200 per build on average, bc Im good at getting deals 👌

[ebon marlin]

Windows shares the amount of vram ur apu/igpu is given

[pale flint]

if it works it works, your being against it wont change anything

[daring scaffold]

Not talking about the laptop, that’s chill

[peak swan]

I see, so that laptop price is fine ig lol

[daring scaffold]

If you can sell it for that, I don’t deal in laptops

Purely a custom builds flipper

[pale flint]

wdym ny flipping

by*

[ebon marlin]

For example the dgpu is completely disabled on this via Mux and it still says 128mb of vram is given to the UHD graphics

[pale flint]

do you buy new stuff and built a pc and sell it?

[peak swan]

I mean I'd probably put more but also like I'm not all crazy, this thing was like 370€ new in 2016, now considered ewaste by Microsoft, except not by me, and not by normies that see "ooh, windows 11, that's good"

[carmine yew]

and not all bios' do the same thing, some don't do that.

[peak swan]

Finnish moment

[ebon marlin]

I even owned a laptop years ago that had almost the same CPU/APU slightly better also by HP

[daring scaffold]

I source the parts for a PC, build it, download windows and drivers, test it, and then sell for a profit

[peak swan]

Ah, kk

[pale flint]

laitteen nimi miau

[rigid fjord]

not if it's using a 'T' sku chip, it's low power but not great

[daring scaffold]

Some about 63 builds this year

[ebon marlin]

Devices name is miau cuz I'm ultra based type shit

[pale flint]

thats not flipping tbh, you'r charging for the work you do

[placid vault]

depends entirely what you use it for. for many applications T sku's are completely fine

[pale flint]

oh

[daring scaffold]

I always called it flipping lol, but yes, that is what I get payed for

[pale flint]

well its not flipping and many people do that

[rigid fjord]

the 'U' ones are better while still be low power, and tend to be cpu ones

[daring scaffold]

Cool

[pale flint]

goof

[daring scaffold]

Should be selling this one tomorrow, forgive the sucky pics

[pale flint]

so where do you buy stuff from?

[pale flint]

click better pics

[daring scaffold]

Marketplace, eBay, Amazon, Newegg, several Canadian sites

Occasionally aliexpress for certain things

[left dove]

oh a canadian, I have a question

[rigid fjord]

that technically is flipping, though custom builds

[daring scaffold]

Go ahead

[left dove]

princess auto, is that like, y'all's store for super cheap auto tools

[placid vault]

they are better all-rounders (performance and power efficiency), but still, in many situations a T sku is more than enough :) im a huge advocate of: choose the right tool for the job. a cpu might be bad for many jobs, but theres also a lot that a seemingly bad cpu is actually pretty great for, as its cheaper and still powerful enough

[carmine yew]

it's their harbor freight

[left dove]

I KNEW IT

[carmine yew]

i think it's the same owner or something

[daring scaffold]

Basically

My dad uses it a ton for our cars, I haven’t needed to get anything from there yet

[daring scaffold]

I call it flipping bc my profit varies per build, based on the deals I get

[rigid fjord]

propper flipping would be buying an already built pc cheaply, doing aa bit of tidy up/refurbishment and then selling it on for a bit mor

[daring scaffold]

I’ve done that a couple times, on insane deals

But I always do things like case swaps, cooler swaps, etc

Put different parts from it in different builds

[clear canyon]

Harbor freight is goated

[left dove]

i wonder if harbor freight still sells that dinky-ass 2-stroke inverter genny

[carmine yew]

ehhhhh, sort of

Sometimes their shit's great, other times it's an absolute nightmare

[clear canyon]

Their engines are goated

[carmine yew]

I have a rule I will never break around Harbor Freight purchases:

If it failing could significantly, and very reasonably, impact my physical well being or life?

I do not buy Harbor Freight.

[carmine yew]

they don't sell engines?

[left dove]

I have a big ol toolbox from harby fruit, thing's beefy as fuck and holds so much

[carmine yew]

They sell some bitchin' toolboxes

[left dove]

and I got it in a pretty blue

actually its pretty close to the floatplane role

maybe a little brighter

[clear canyon]

They do, its their predator lineup

I have their predator 212 that i modded and slapped into my minibike

[cosmic lance]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-monkey-stan-twt-macaque-monkey-reaction-my-honest-reaction-gif-4617235472778414495

[pale flint]

i mean still, there is some effort put into it

[pale flint]

true flipping is just buying and reselling for profit

well atleast thats what i consider flipping

[left dove]

every time you post this thing it makes me wanna add an engine to my bike

[rigid fjord]

a monkey motorbike

[clear canyon]

I need to take new pics of it, ill finish rebuilding it soon

[clear canyon]

Lol

[left dove]

[clear canyon]

:peyclap:

[rigid fjord]

reminds me of this, the honda monkey 125

[left dove]

awww its cute

[clear canyon]

Thats a neat bike

[rigid fjord]

it looks like it's for a kid but has a proper 125cc engine in and is for adults

[left dove]

👀

[clear canyon]

Mine is geared to go 40mph, so its very low end

[rigid fjord]

yeah, no noisy hair dryer 50cc engine in it

[left dove]

I shan't go faster than 35 on my bike

that shit spooky

[rigid fjord]

you can do 70mph on the monkey tbh

when you see an adult on one @left dove

[clear canyon]

Well its geared for that but its also a 125cc so its not gonna get there quick, mine has an automatic and it gets to its top speed very fast lol

[left dove]

its a circus bike!

[rigid fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/im-out-goodbye-bye-peace-out-small-bike-gif-15599161

im kinda scared that this winter is gonna suck butt if the weather keeps doing this

I really don't want another ice storm 😭

[rigid fjord]

the pushbike equivalent to it @left dove

[left dove]

what the fuck is that shit

[rigid fjord]

a monkey push bike

[left dove]

I hate it

[pale flint]

try it

[left dove]

gonna toss its ass in the arc furnace

[pale flint]

looks fun

[distant frigate]

New ISP doing more work here

[left dove]

I was wondering why you deleted that pic earlier lmao

and now I can see why

[distant frigate]

Yeah lmao. Address exposed

They are moving the lines down because of clearance. Don’t think they need the incumbent ISP’s permission to move their lines down

Ahhhh there’s cranks. Neat

overpaying for everything but the cpu and cooler

[pale flint]

just bought this laptop for 100 dollars thats close to brand new https://laptopwithlinux.com/product/tongfang-pf5nu1g-amd-linux-laptop/

i think itd do well as a linux machine

[quasi junco]

Hi everyone, making a PC for a friend who has a budget of around £500 and wants to play in 1080p medium settings. The graphics card will be used which is why it has no price on it in the parts list. Any feedback?

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/RC2x8Q

[abstract wigeon]

youtube mobile minor new ui changed yay or nay? i like

[rigid fjord]

change the ssd and you'd be golden

[quasi junco]

What should I go for instead?

[gaunt gulch]

what storage capacity do yall recommend?

[quasi junco]

At least 1tb

[rigid fjord]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/md6BXR

[sly bolt]

i need advice

[gaunt gulch]

and cpu?

[sly bolt]

from someone who actually knows their pcs

[left dove]

just ask

dont ask to ask

[quasi junco]

Depends what you want to do/play

[gaunt gulch]

is there any like mid-high spec one you rec?

[sly bolt]

im looking to upgrade from my i5-10400F + GTX 1660 Super to a Ryzen 7 5800X + RX 9060 XT 16GB

just about how good of an upgrade would this be

[rigid fjord]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/h9JwLc

[rigid fjord]

depends on use case

[left dove]

quite a bit.

[sly bolt]

so its worth it?

[rigid fjord]

good chunk of an upgrade tbh

[left dove]

yes?

[sly bolt]

i mean sorry vro i just suck at PCs ngl and yeah

[quasi junco]

Thanks!

[left dove]

It's a good upgrade, I'd do it

[gaunt gulch]

im planning on using one ssd for moving files and the other for gaming

[rigid fjord]

you could possibly get a 5600/5600x for around £60 on ebay

[quasi junco]

Again, depends what you're doing.

What resolution are you playing in, what graphics card are you using and what games do you plan to play?

[sly bolt]

also would a be quiet! pure rock 6 work well with the R7 5800X

[gaunt gulch]

i see

[rigid fjord]

so for an OS drive you don't need more than 500gb tbh, after that gaming wise a 2tb or better one, and for general storage a decent 4tb hdd instead

[gaunt gulch]

what brand is good for hdd?

[rigid fjord]

it would work but the cost of it is probably double that of a pa120se

[rigid fjord]

product not brand on any kind of tech

[sly bolt]

in sweden i found a pure rock 6 for 40 euros lol

[pale flint]

https://tenor.com/view/tarkov-тарков-hdd-хдд-жесткий-диск-gif-4143697355805610967

[ebon marlin]

Pure rock 6 doesn't exist and pure rock eitherway is ass

[gaunt gulch]

what hdd specs are good then?

[rigid fjord]

wd red plus, wd red pro, seagate ironwolf, seagate exos @gaunt gulch

[quasi junco]

Ohh, mate it would be quicker but if you're changing platforms you might as well go AM5. Best if you want to future proof, and not be stuck with the old hardware. If I was you I'd get a solid B650 motherboard and a Ryzen 5 9600X. You'll thank yourself in the future.

[sly bolt]

i wish i had that money

[quasi junco]

To be fair it's probably the same price as getting a 5800X.

[ebon marlin]

9600x is a waste of money majority of the time

[rigid fjord]

https://se.pcpartpicker.com/product/MFvD4D/

[quasi junco]

How??

[ebon marlin]

just get the 7500F/7600/7600x whichever is cheaper

[sly bolt]

why

[quasi junco]

Less money but not by much and a lot less efficient

[ebon marlin]

very minor difference between a 7500f/7600/7600x vs a 9600x

but big difference in price

[rigid fjord]

you got to look at the price, break down for am4 mobo + 5800x + ddr4 vs am5 mobo + ddr5 + 7500f/7600/7600x

[quasi junco]

In the UK it's a £30 difference and worth it if you ask me.

[ebon marlin]

meh not really when the difference between the 2 are negligible

[rigid fjord]

same performance as the 7600x while costing more

[rigid fjord]

it's not

[quasi junco]

It's not just about the performance - it's also a hell of a lot more efficient.

[rigid fjord]

pbo tuning can get you that

[ebon marlin]

effiecency is the least of ur worries with AMD

[quasi junco]

Yes but he mentioned he's not good with PCs so I doubt he'll want to do that

[ebon marlin]

7600 is more effiecent eitherway

and eitherway the difference is 5w lmfao

that's like a penny in a year

[sly bolt]

guys

if you want to help me https://discord.com/channels/375436620578684930/1428046173671002274

[wild basin]

Mint time

[rigid fjord]

less tbh, more like 0.01p a year

[sinful cobalt]

an undervolt easily achieves the same thing

[rigid fjord]

just eco mode with pbo tuning, it'll be the same performance still

[normal elbow]

It'd be cool if labs tested how long CPUs / Graphics cards can function on temps over 90 degrees, and figure out how much life span they loose from hitting those temps if any at all.

[rigid fjord]

well if you test amd, they're going to take forever, especially with 7000 and 9000 series ryzens

the newer thermal algorithm means it can run at 95c 24/7/395(396) permanently

[pale flint]

free itmes from temu 🤑🤑

[ebon marlin]

cpus are built to run at those temps forever pretty much

only degrading thing you can have in cpus if you overvolt them

graphics cards should be the same thing it's just AMD and Nvidia have limits that if you reach a certain temp they'll slowdown the gpu to make it run cooler

iirc for AMD it's 93C and Nvidia I can't remember maybe 73C

[normal elbow]

Do you think a processor from AMD that hits 95c regularly will have a shorter life span, or do you think it doesn't matter?

[ebon marlin]

it doesn't matter

with laptops you'lll see ur cpu usually sit around that temperature area quite often

unless said laptop has beefy cooling

[carmine yew]

Laptops run hotter than fuck, get used to it

[exotic valley]

An AMD processor constantly running at 95C can prob still outlast every other components of your PC

[carmine yew]

get warshipped, rofl

[wide cargo]

:(

[pale flint]

bro said rofl

[carmine yew]

Any CPU running at 95C will probably be the last part standing in any computer.

(possibly with the RAM)

[carmine yew]

ROTFLOLMAOBBQ!!1@!2!OEN!

[wide cargo]

i just wanted people to give W's for corsair power supplies, shit got water damaged, but safety precaution kicked in and only PSU went to heaven, not the pc as a whole

[pale flint]

lmaoborgini

[exotic valley]

You should only worry about a dying processor due to high temperature if you want to keep it for more than 20 years

[wide cargo]

got new PSU and my pc lives on

[carmine yew]

So, the PSU did exactly what a properly made PSU is supposed to do?

[exotic valley]

(Most likely you will just sell it on the marketplace and get a new cpu just in a few years )

[wide cargo]

YES

[exotic valley]

The best 9800x3d after 20 years is probably only worth a few cents

[normal elbow]

That's actually really cool to know, I imagine that CPU cooling with an AIO, vs a cheapper heat sink is kind of a waste of money then.

[rigid fjord]

it won't matter especially on 7000 and 9000 series ryzens

[carmine yew]

That... doesn't seem like a bar that should be worthy of crazy praise?

[exotic valley]

I sold an Intel E5700 a few days ago only for half a dollar

Nobody would purchase an old cpu priced at a dollar

[wide cargo]

as some may know, it's possible for PSU to take the whole PC with it

[carmine yew]

shitty psu's be shitty. Which is why we tell people to buy good ones.

[normal elbow]

Funny story about PSUs, I went cheap and had 3 of them die on my old PC, and the computer never died xD

[rigid fjord]

til you realise he's probably used to thermaltake "smart" psu line previously 😉

[wide cargo]

well PSU can be shitty and good at the same time, thing can be great for efficiency but can have missing/bad safety precautions. and vice versa

[exotic valley]

I just wonder how cheap did you go. All three of cheap PSUs going wrong at the lifespan of one single PC is quite rare, just saying

[wide cargo]

corsair rm750e

[rigid fjord]

efficiency rating doesn't make a good psu

[wide cargo]

partly

[ebon marlin]

poop

[carmine yew]

no, a psu with bad protections is a shitty psu.

80+ rating doesn't mean shit

[rigid fjord]

nope

[wheat torrent]

Flac sounds good but none of my audio hardware are enough to make a difference

[wide cargo]

i am not talking 80+, mostly cybernetics

[carmine yew]

same fuckin' difference in this case.

[exotic valley]

I think 99% of people couldn’t tell the difference between flac and aac 256kbps

[carmine yew]

I can't tell the difference between 128k mp3 and FLAC

[wide cargo]

it's possible for the psu to be safe af yet be unefficient as shit

[carmine yew]

no it's not

[wide cargo]

how so?

[exotic valley]

Yeh they sound all kinda the same with my equipment

[rigid fjord]

gigabyte p750gm, gold efficiency psu, tier F psu, explodes

corsair cx750-f, bronze efficiency, tier B psu, doesn't explode @wide cargo

[long cradle]

Same with me I guess.
The best I'm gonna get is from my Compact Discs, but I don't have the money or even care about audiophile stuff.

[carmine yew]

No company is going to put the effort and cost into making a PSU with proper protections and then have it fail 80+ or Cybenetics

[rigid fjord]

lower efficiency while being better overal is possible, but no it won't be unefficient as shit

[wide cargo]

well tier list is something else tho, which takes safety in the tier rating as well

[exotic valley]

True. It really depends on whether it’s a switch or linear PSU.

[carmine yew]

And nothing rated B or higher will have poor protections

[normal elbow]

I imagine with PSUs that the capacitors quality would affect saftey and effiency wouldn't it go hand and hand?

[exotic valley]

I have three linear PSUs as my bench power supply, and they’re more efficient than cheap switch supplies

[rigid fjord]

takes alot of things into consideration not just safety or efficiency

[wide cargo]

i am aware

[carmine yew]

it's less the caps for protection, it's other parts

[wide cargo]

that's what i meant, i didnt mean it literally

[exotic valley]

It really depends on what types of power supply it is and the purpose it is for.

[carmine yew]

you're trying to make a point that's essentially academic, and also not really a thing.

Nothing with A-Tier protections will be worse then 80+ Silver

[wide cargo]

agreed

[exotic valley]

Switch power supplies are cheaper, better in some scenarios, and safe

Just less efficient than linear supplies

[wide cargo]

you are saying it like water damage is predictable

like yeah i got extremely lucky, i agree

for the water damage to hit correct place for safety precaution to activate

[rigid fjord]

yes and no, there are psu's out there that have false efficiency ratings due to a single unit being sent for testing while the same model but a complete redesign/parts have been swapped to the point it has a higher rating than it actually is as a product

[carmine yew]

to a company like Lian Li or Corsair or Seasonic that makes really good PSUs?

Yeah, it's fairly predictable

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/кот-кот-гадем-кот-крутой-gif-3270832292775664690

[carmine yew]

They've got years of testing to know what to expect

stop with the shitty AI, we don't fucking care

[wide cargo]

there are ALOT of variables in play,

[rigid fjord]

looks and points daggers right at aresgame

[wide cargo]

how the psu is mounted? which way the water is going? did the water hit rails or input stage?

etc etc etc

can't predict really everything

[rigid fjord]

[6] Review sample manipulation / post review design downgrades / frequent component changes without significant differences in branding / paid reviews

[carmine yew]

rolls eyes

[ebon marlin]

zesty

[normal elbow]

It's crazy to think that in 20 years our phones may be powerful enough to host a local AI that can do anything with out limits because you can run your own local processing.

[rigid fjord]

it's already powerful enough right now

[wide cargo]

unless companies limit our hardware to stay at one stage for longer times. looks at nvidia and 8gb of vram

[wheat torrent]

I might be one of them

[rigid fjord]

several ai's can be ran of a ras pi

deepseek is a perfect example of this

[wide cargo]

i don't disagree

[normal elbow]

I imagine that things like hashing passwords will be quit trivial soon, even 16 characters.

[wheat torrent]

I could perhaps lower the audio quality down, 2mb/s a bit high

[wide cargo]

can spotify fckin release lossless on linux spotify launcher (ik it's far from legit lossless)

[left dove]

its still a good upgrade in audio quality

[normal elbow]

Just use tidal, it's worth it if you have good headphones.

[wide cargo]

agreed

[rigid fjord]

what rock have you been hiding under for the past 5 or so years?

[wide cargo]

nuh uh

[wheat torrent]

The issue with self hosting is that my clients don't have good recommendion system, I have to play albums or shuffle all songs

[wide cargo]

having spotify with friends

doubt they would all want to move out

to something else

[rigid fjord]

me who could run his own version privately if he wanted, just because

[left dove]

Tidal was decent but it was super obnoxious having titles constantly come & go off the platform

[rigid fjord]

ddns, dns, and remote control script + web accessible dj app

[wide cargo]

speaking of self hosted

[formal sonnet]

This is what we've been doing ever since Spotify Family launched. Everyone's ingrained into the social features too, which the other platforms didn't (and still don't?) have at the time so we're sticking with Spotify for now. I also have locally backed up FLAC files of all our CDs though. Very handy when I want more quality or to play Audiosurf.

[wheat torrent]

I'm just hosting an music server

Accessible through web domain, and clients can connect to it

[rigid fjord]

the ddns be for separately audio transfers

[wide cargo]

what do y'all prefer for the basic necessities in terms of selfhosting? i.e. OS, file server, VMs/containers, media servers

[rigid fjord]

so, via something like a shoutcast ddns/client or via the likes of jellyfin etc?

[left dove]

fucking shoutcast my god

[wide cargo]

my networking is full on openwrt

[rigid fjord]

they still exist surprisingly

[left dove]

HOW

[wide cargo]

openwrt is freaking godsend

[rigid fjord]

icecast also

[left dove]

oh wait I know, secondlife

in-world dj streams

[wheat torrent]

Navidrome hosted on docker

Then cloudflared tunnel to the port

[normal elbow]

I tried openwrt, my router was shit and has like 256 mb of ram at the time, and it crashed and froze.

[wide cargo]

anybody here heard of pangolin?

[normal elbow]

I was thinking of getting a rasbery pi to do routing.

[left dove]

pangolins are cute, yeah

[wide cargo]

i meant reverse proxy

it works great

practically the only thing i paid for was the domain in my homelab

[wide cargo]

my routers have 256 MB of ddr3 ram

works fine on my side

even with VLAN's

[wild basin]

mint done

the laptop is HP Pavillion G6 btw

[fleet kite]

someone pls help me

[left dove]

openwrt can work on a friggin' spud with an antenna jammed into it

[wide cargo]

yeh, thing is godsend

especially if you like digging into UART flashing of stuff :P

[long cradle]

I've always preferred listening to CDs.

[left dove]

eugh, puritan ||/j||

[normal elbow]

I tried hosting a samba server on it, and a open wire, I think that was too much.

[wide cargo]

yeah no

don't use openWRT as a "Server"

it's not worth it

[left dove]

I might owrt my tp link

[wide cargo]

anyways

if anybody finds one of these puppies on sale: https://www.cudy.com/en-eu/products/wr3000-1-0#specs

great owrt machines

good with vlans and wifi as well

[normal elbow]

Is doing a not ehternet connected wifi mesh easy with openwrt?

[wide cargo]

ehhh it's doable, but it does need some skill for cli

iirc

i also not recommend ever doing mesh systems

hugely against it 99% of the time

[normal elbow]

Why is that?

[wide cargo]

stability, interference and stuff

[normal elbow]

Cisco light weight APs have auto detection for that.

[wide cargo]

cable backhaul always beats it

cable is still always better

[normal elbow]

I agree, but running a cable can be a bitch xD

[wide cargo]

you will thank yourself later

for doing it

and when you are about to run them

[normal elbow]

The only reason why I was thinking about mesh is for out doors. It'd be cool to watch tv in a hot tub while it's snowing.

[wide cargo]

dont forget to run reserves as well

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/кот-кот-гадем-кот-крутой-gif-3270832292775664690

[wide cargo]

anyways, my homelab "map"

[normal elbow]

I use to do that for a job, the best way to do that is to take out the length you need then grab the cable from the box as your end point that way you run two cables.

[peak swan]

How do i figure out the pinout of this crap?
I guess the little dot is probably pin 1

[tidal adder]

Do you guys recommend I get a mic instead of headphones with a mic?

[wide cargo]

always

[peak swan]

Yep

[wide cargo]

if you do want the quality ofc

[tidal adder]

Aight thank you

[normal elbow]

afik there is head sets with good mics and audio, however, they are much more expensive than getting them seperate

[wide cargo]

nothing in datasheets?

[peak swan]

I don't know if this thing has a datasheet

[wide cargo]

what is this "thing"

[peak swan]

Digital signage pc

[wide cargo]

got model number and maker?

[wide cargo]

also in theory you could just use multimeter

and find ground and 5v, considering it's usb2

rest being data iirc

[peak swan]

Maker is aopen and model is DE3450 Z

[formal sonnet]

Depends entirely on why you need a mic. 🤷 for online gaming, headset mic can be fine. For professional music recording, dedicated mic will be much better.

[wide cargo]

orrrrr if you just want a mic :P

[normal elbow]

My snow ball is over 10 years old at this point, the only shitty part about it is the USB type B port on it.

[wide cargo]

condenser mic, meh

[kindred halo]

Got a basic 3D printed sag bracket!!!

[balmy tapir]

whats wrong with a condenser?

[wide cargo]

not the pick for "gamers or streamers", unless you sing ofc

[tidal adder]

I don't really need the headset mic cuz my pc has a speaker, or do I?

[wide cargo]

or you want keyboard ASMR

[formal sonnet]

What? What does your PC having a speaker have to do with getting a microphone...? I am confused.

[normal elbow]

lol, I thought that was rage bait, I wasn't going there.

[tidal adder]

No I'm replying to what you said about headset mic

[peak swan]

But if i had to guess, the motherboard is used across multiple models

[wide cargo]

anyways, i believe MOST people should buy dynamic microphones with XLR for gamers

instead of condenser mic

it's not even that expensive nowadays to get an audio interface with xlr cable and xlr dynamic mic

also talking about audio

sony mdr-7506 are pretty good headphones

[tidal adder]

Are they expensive?

[wide cargo]

they cost about up to 100 usd

can be bought at around 70-80 usd

iirc

[tidal adder]

Okay thank you

[wide cargo]

pretty much best headphones for the price

o shit

[ebon marlin]

Clean brick

[left dove]

lenovo in the gpu game

[wide cargo]

what a chonker

like why even

[left dove]

it'd be cleaner if it didn't have rgb

[wide cargo]

asus prime is being cooled fine yet not being 3 slot brick

i have rx 9070

[ebon marlin]

Optional

[left dove]

yeah i was very surprised by the performance of the cooler on my prime 5070ti

I can barely break 60c

[wide cargo]

that lenovo is waste of space

i dont like it

[left dove]

No I get that, I just like the understated blocky design is all

[wide cargo]

well tbh i am mostly on the smaller pc side, i literally have mATX build myself

i find mATX perfect for 99% of people

[left dove]

I'm very much into pcs being black/beige bricks

No glass, proper sound deadening, proper filtration, ducting potential, etc

oh yeah when I upgrade my tower I'm going to matx & a lian li a3

[wide cargo]

https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/cases/prime/asus-prime-ap201-microatx-case/

i have this case, with glass panel tho cuz it was for some reason cheaper with the glass panel

[left dove]

201 is also on my radar but is a little too wide for my plans

Essentially I'm gonna stack it atop of my server beside my desk to free up some floor space

[wide cargo]

dang

[wide cargo]

the lights kinda ruin the photo, it looks better irl

[left dove]

no rgb, just wires

[wide cargo]

also discord compressed the shit out of it

[left dove]

delicious copper spaghetti

[raw trout]

I like how they made the brick design not ugly

[left dove]

right??

[wide cargo]

that usb hub is crazy

[raw trout]

Also what's going on with lenovos branding instead of being in the side or the product line logo in the centre there's there a simple logo in the centre.

[wide cargo]

is it me or the picture is ai

[left dove]

usb3, 90w, individually switched ports

[wide cargo]

of the lenovo gpu, there is AI smudge everywhere

[raw trout]

There used to be like ThinkPad or think centre in a corner or in the middle or the lenovo logo on the edges of. The laptop but now it's just centred and doesn't fit in

[raw trout]

Dayum

[left dove]

I'm ditching the white 4000d soon though

[raw trout]

I have a feeling something has to do with this

[raw trout]

Ur building a new one or smtn?

[wide cargo]

it looks AI generated

[left dove]

pretty much yeah

[raw trout]

Yeah the inconsistent logo

[wide cargo]

and the fins

[raw trout]

What case are u getting 🤔

[left dove]

lianli a3

no glass, wood front if I can nab one

[raw trout]

Beautiful and simple while being cheap

[wide cargo]

i am happy with my asus ap201

[raw trout]

Im buying something similar when I get my own house and get on my feet

[wide cargo]

wide enough for big block of cpu cooler

while staying mATX

[raw trout]

Looks like it can fit a decent aio

[wide cargo]

yeh

360mm radiator as well

[raw trout]

Decent port selection in the front

[wide cargo]

or wait

are you speaking of the lian li

[raw trout]

Yuh

[wide cargo]

oh oops

my bad

[raw trout]

@left dove where the psu going? I don't see a space for it

[left dove]

front

[raw trout]

Hmm nice

[wide cargo]

most mATX builds have that ye

psu vertically on front

[raw trout]

The top is ez detachable so it's ez to clean the aio

[left dove]

I probably won't run an aio tbh

[raw trout]

One downside is that the pcie cover looks like those snap off ones which is not nice

[left dove]

they aren't?

they're individual brackets

[raw trout]

No like the break off ones

[left dove]

angled, weird spacing, tabs on the left

[raw trout]

Like if you remove u can't put it back

[left dove]

they're individual.

[raw trout]

Oh fuck

Didn't see that there I guess the shop has bad pic quality

Overall a nice case

[left dove]

Pretty much the build, unless I decide to go 265k again
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/h7L6Jn

[raw trout]

That's dirt cheap omg

[left dove]

because I've bought most of it already lmao

[raw trout]

Only 2 fucking k?

That would cost like 4k in india

[left dove]

idk mang, i just watch for sales

[raw trout]

Same but there's rarely any sales in pc parts cuz most of them come from small shady business

[raw trout]

That's the case here

The shit went up to 5k when I was building a pc setup list for my friend

A very low population exists in india who knows a lot about computer who are also minors

[wide cargo]

why nvidia?

got particular reason?

[raw trout]

Cuz yes

[left dove]

dlss is present in nearly all of the games I play

[wide cargo]

🤔

[left dove]

helps with running native 4k120

[raw trout]

Also I got a skateboard signed by the tony hawk

[wide cargo]

is it the day where people choose gpu based on dlss and fg capabilities?

[left dove]

pretty much, yeah

it's what drove my decision

I don't buy because of "raw horsepower"

I buy what's gonna work for me the best

[wide cargo]

😔 back in my day

i did actually buy my rx 9070 due to price and raw rasterization

[left dove]

I also didn't want to drop a grand on a 5080 so getting a 70ti for msrp was good enough for me

[raw trout]

None of the chats are active

[left dove]

it's wednesday & people are working

[formal elbow]

So, I changed PCs and I usually run linux so I wanted to transfer some files.

Problem was none of my PCs have

integrated GPUs so I used an old

For some reason it fucked up my

[wide cargo]

what do y'all think about openMediaVault?

[left dove]

omv is ok, but only if you add omv extras

[wide cargo]

well duh

everybody does

[random gyro]

windows 10

[raw trout]

I don't see anything

[left dove]

just install normal windows 😭

[formal elbow]

Ik,ik, I used a laptop to see if it fixes itself with win

[wide cargo]

my server setup

[random gyro]

get windows 11

[raw trout]

Why does that look like ghosting

[formal elbow]

Flickers + ghosting from the linux ui

[wide cargo]

ew

[raw trout]

Is this monitor a monitor used for server ?

[random gyro]

what's bad about it?

[raw trout]

No wonder it got ghosting

[random gyro]

i prefer it to 10

[wide cargo]

wow cool ui

[left dove]

truenas

[wide cargo]

is it that thing linus showed,

yeah

[raw trout]

He showed trunas scale docker omv all the flavours

[wide cargo]

i dont recall omv on ltt

[left dove]

I only really got into it because jake kept using it in vids like 2 years ago

[honest rose]

What do yall think of the iPhone 16e

[raw trout]

Omv was cook

[raw trout]

Iphone 17.

[exotic valley]

My server

[raw trout]

Wow

[honest rose]

I found a 16e local used for 180usd

[raw trout]

Bruu i wish I was in the land of the free

[wide cargo]

hey, i had b450m ds3h as my main mobo before

cool

i now have b550m ds3h

[formal elbow]

Nope, just a cheap IPS gaming monitor

[exotic valley]

Nice, I would say it’s an excellent board for home servers.

[exotic valley]

i like your tri display setup

[formal elbow]

Now to explain, I just switched PCs and I wanted to transfer some files. Neither PC has an iGPU so I used an old Quadro I had laying around on the old PC to have video output. After I started the PC linux looked wierd but I left it as is to transfer stuff. After I switched PCs, I noticed the screem had ghosting of the Linux desktop

[wide cargo]

thanks

[wide cargo]

server

zfs zraid 1

[exotic valley]

I bet that’s more efficient than my 3600x. I had to manually control its PBO to make it stable under stress & doesn’t burn electricity like a furnace. Also mine doesn’t have a GPU so its computation power is kinda bad.

[wide cargo]

cpu is quad core and literally maxes out at 75 watts

is decent at encoding too

the iGPU, works great with jellyfin

quite a few containers as well

[dusty dew]

@rigid fjord I hate windows again, their old updating even when gaming antics are back

[wide cargo]

(don't ask why i have windows inside docker container)

[left dove]

buy win11 pro duhhhh

[wide cargo]

or

move to linux :P

[left dove]

nuh uh

[ocean axle]

smol pool

[dusty dew]

Im using pro....

[left dove]

idk, user error or something

[random gyro]

i have windows 11 pro too]

[wide cargo]

it cures league of legends and fortnite addictions

[wide cargo]

WHAT

[left dove]

yeah but no battlefield 6

[wide cargo]

mid anyways

[left dove]

[wide cargo]

i mean hey, i am not privileged to have hotswappable bays

[ebon marlin]

anti-homeless stuff in pokemon games oh my god bruh

[ocean axle]

if its SATA, its hotswap

may just need to enable it on your board

[left dove]

sharta

[wide cargo]

everything is done with double sided tape inside ATX case of mine

[left dove]

oh god

[gleaming rose]

just went to the Intel museum

[left dove]

NICE

[gleaming rose]

I've never been so happy

[ocean axle]

please tell me thats with SSDs and not HDDs then

[wide cargo]

as i said, i am not privileged to buy custom rack case

[gleaming rose]

I've also never spent more in a museum gift shop

[wide cargo]

https://tenor.com/view/oops-gif-10031223162004539162

but nah it's fine

[ocean axle]

you have HDDs secured with tape?

wrong reply, oh well

[wide cargo]

look, i just have one bay slider inside the case, what am i supposed to do

the case isn't being made anymore

[ocean axle]

get a case (even if still tower) with more

[wide cargo]

i am cheap bastard

so no

just now i am crying cuz i paid for new power supply for my pc

[ocean axle]

PSUs arent that expensive, unless you are buying something gigantic

[wide cargo]

i do wanna get rack mountable external bay sometime but it's not now

[wide cargo]

i am student

everything i pay for hurts

[radiant lion]

wsp

Y’all know anything about the DGX Spark?

[ocean axle]

ahh, makes sense then

[wide cargo]

i find 110 bucks expensive as hell for PSU

[left dove]

our resident Mark does

[radiant lion]

Who’s mark tho

[left dove]

@robust trail someone wants to know about dgx, also hello

[wide cargo]

@ocean axle also, if it works, don't fix it

[ocean axle]

no, if it works, but might be a problem in the future, do fix it, because it will break

[wide cargo]

it won't be a problem tho

[ocean axle]

a tape secured HDD, yea, fix that

[wide cargo]

also, what's the max length of sata cables

[quasi path]

what nas software do yall use?

[left dove]

truenas scale

[wide cargo]

openMediaVault

[ocean axle]

ZFS CLI, but use truenas

[radiant lion]

bruh PSUs have like a 10 year warranty, and it’s like your pc’s life insurance, it’ll make sure your 3K usd GPU doesn’t end up in the trash

[ancient berry]

Who thinks linus looks like the pastor from young sheldon?

[wide cargo]

as i said, it's about point of view

[left dove]

how specific, and an interesting way to enter lmao

[wide cargo]

i don't have monthly funding

[wide cargo]

if it works, don't fix it

[left dove]

They're talking about the tape failing and causing physical damage.

[ocean axle]

^

[wide cargo]

it ain't failing, it's mounted on the floor, not vertically

floor of the case

[left dove]

that.. is vertically

[wide cargo]

no?

horrizontally

[ocean axle]

i still stand by my do do that

[radiant lion]

I got an RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell***, a ryzen 7 9800x3D and like 12 fans connected, you think I’ll risk my whole set up to save 50bucks? If you can’t buy a good psu, don’t get a PC

[ocean axle]

with SSDs, sure, whatever

[left dove]

anyways you should still have the drives in a cage so they're spaced enough for proper airflow

[ocean axle]

but not HDDs

[left dove]

let yo drives breathe

rip

[wide cargo]

oops

[ocean axle]

HDDs moving around is a problem, and so is lack of airflow, and so is them not being level

[left dove]

goated altman

[wide cargo]

i can't get the parts for the cage

the holders specifically

that's the issue

[left dove]

you could quite literally buy just a standalone hdd cage

[rigid fjord]

it does get annoying often

[wide cargo]

once i get funds for making full on rack bay

it's either big or nothing.

[ocean axle]

doesnt need to be

[left dove]

its nerf or nothing

[ocean axle]

you can get something physically small

[wide cargo]

nuh uh

i will do it properly soon(tm)

[ocean axle]

especially with 24TB+ drives existing

[wide cargo]

it's 8tb but ok

oh you mean the cage, sorry

[ocean axle]

yea, a small cage is fine, because you can get big drives for it

[wide cargo]

i have different plans

[ocean axle]

no real need for a ton of bays

[wide cargo]

well i am planning for 8 slot bay

[ocean axle]

so, pretty small

[wide cargo]

for my rack, with the server staying as it is, yet moving the drives externally

and connecting them through a pci-e card

i dont remember what it's called

[ocean axle]

also, rack isn't necessary

[wide cargo]

i already have a rack

[ocean axle]

(external) HBA

[ocean axle]

then by all means use it

[quasi path]

@left dove @wide cargo ill do some readup on both (tho i already know abit anout truenas) , is it worth buying an ssd for the boot drive? or should i just use one of the sas drives that i already have set aside for the rig?

[wide cargo]

Do ssd

Autocorrect smh

[ebon marlin]

Is ur rack inside a 3d printer

[ocean axle]

the boot drive doesnt get used much, and should be an SSD (a small cheap one is fine, its basically just ROM)

[wide cargo]

What

[ebon marlin]

[wide cargo]

Its literal ender 3

[ocean axle]

oh, thats a smol networking rack

[wide cargo]

it's cute and works great

[left dove]

ssd for boot is mandatory

[quasi path]

🫡

[ocean axle]

very recommended, but technically not mandatory*

it'll work with an HDD, but just dont

[ivory mountain]

why tf is the minecraft xbox 360 christmas pack music playing

[wide cargo]

i want this leftover space to become hdd hotswappable bay

for convenience

[left dove]

Mine is kitted out, mildly neglected, and untuned

[quasi path]

oh last question, is there a minimum ssd size?

[left dove]

256g is plenty

[wide cargo]

why is he naked 😭

[ocean axle]

yes, but basically anything is large enough

a $20 256GB SSD is fine

[left dove]

hwat

[wide cargo]

the board

[quasi path]

i neglected my ender once i started using the centauri carbon, it needs some love and tlc again

[rigid fjord]

you can look up hdd cages still

[left dove]

because I haven't printed a mount for it yet

I've got a bambu a1 mini coming tomorrow that's gonna be printing a bunch of new, more precise parts for basically most things on the old gal

[quasi path]

thank you, ill go for that 😄 i had both a 120 and 256 in my basket just didnt know if theres was a “too low”

[wide cargo]

i have the cage in the case, issue is i don't have plastic doo-dats slidey slidey things

[ocean axle]

what are the patch panels for, and the two switches

[ocean axle]

120 is also fine, too small is like, 5GB

[robust trail]

DGX?

Sorry I was doing fuckery

[ocean axle]

even the 16GB optane drives are fine

[left dove]

Also that's just the touch display, not the mainboard

[quasi path]

oh perfect

[wide cargo]

48 port one is my main core switch, the 16 port unmanaged one are cameras

[robust trail]

Who wanted to know about Spark?

[wide cargo]

ah fair enough

[left dove]

mark is here

[robust trail]

https://tenor.com/view/you-called-terrence-meyers-murdoch-mysteries-what-do-you-want-what-is-it-gif-25026601

[rigid fjord]

bigtree screen with wifi add on ?. also you could 3d print the sleds

[robust trail]

Spark spark

[left dove]

not wifi, that's the rotary encoder

[rigid fjord]

how is that screen ?

[left dove]

its awesome tbh

[rigid fjord]

oh?, not gotten the wifi addon ?

[wide cargo]

i couldn't find the correct model for it anywhere

and i ain't modelling dat

[left dove]

I have it paired with a btt skr e3 v2, tmc2209's(?)

[robust trail]

Bring me your questions and I will do my best to answer. 🙂

[left dove]

I have a long stretch of usb going behind the couch to the pc so i can just have everything ran off the tower

[rigid fjord]

it's a standard model, mainly for dells
