i might be able to take that then, ill dm you when I can, 30 mins maybe

[trail forum]

I hated cable management which I will need to fix for my pcie cables

[azure topaz]

idk just do 10x10 i feel like thats resonable

10x10x5 or something

[trail forum]

I hated the fact that getting my motherboard to line up with standoffs was a pain in the ass

Took me 5 attempts to do so

[azure topaz]

its the scariest part for me personally

[random junco]

whatthehell

[ionic peak]

Nah I use hot dogs to measure

[azure topaz]

sounds really weird especially since ive built a lotta computers

[trail forum]

Ended up marking the middle screw that holds the board in cus I kept taking it in and out to find where it sits

[azure topaz]

but guess whos also broken like 2 boards with standoffs

[stark kiln]

Idk how

[latent gull]

overnight

[trail forum]

Oh and to top it off I had trouble getting my gpu into my pc slot

[azure topaz]

yeah i was kinda there for that

[trail forum]

It wouldn’t sit ended up having to loosen my stand off screws

[ionic peak]

Good night or good morning?

[stark kiln]

But at some game my PC has 4 fps at low settings on. I5 7500Vand GTX 1660S at 1024x768p

[trail forum]

Somehow got it in and the fucking pcie clip like broke off but luckily was able to put it back on

[stark kiln]

Can anyone try to help me out as to why

[rigid fjord]

probably super cheap, like €4 per 40g

[trail forum]

Was trying to pull it up and it wouldn’t release

[stark kiln]

I think it's the GPU and CPU temps cause my GPU was at 94° once

[trail forum]

Pcie clip came with the gpu xddd

[ionic peak]

Lit

[stark kiln]

?

[latent gull]

also isnt DHL priamrily business shipping?

[azure topaz]

what ram?

[stark kiln]

32gb DDR4 2400mhz

[trail forum]

Just need to figure out the fuck to install my hard drive now and install my other m.2

[azure topaz]

probably, leave the side panel off while you play

[ionic peak]

Gpu gona lit itself

[stark kiln]

Idk how to it's some hp case

[random junco]

i selected private residents but even fedex charges above 300 lmao

[azure topaz]

reinstall windows and do fresh drivers

[stark kiln]

Can I do with to lower it?

[buoyant bridge]

DHL is primarily sales shipping afaik?
UPS is more of the buisness shipping one

[azure topaz]

i told you how to take the fdull thing apart when you showed it

[left trellis]

everythings been bought 😼
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/T1s123/saved/HVnn8d

[random junco]

wrong advice for catsoup they spent like 3 hours waiting for it to install

[azure topaz]

theres a screw at the back of the pc, its a thumb screw

[ionic peak]

You can cook prob with it

[trail forum]

Left my gpu on my table on top of my psu box and it fell off the desk luckily gpu survived on a carpet floor

[stark kiln]

Yeah

[azure topaz]

oh hdd

[stark kiln]

I think there isn't a thing screw

[azure topaz]

yeah nevermind throw the computer away

[stark kiln]

Look 3tb of HDD is 3tb

[azure topaz]

then just pull toward you

[random junco]

was it not installed on the ssd !?

[azure topaz]

there is none

[stark kiln]

It was

[azure topaz]

oh im just lost atp then

[stark kiln]

I'm certain it was installed on the SSD

[azure topaz]

3 hours to install windows on an ssd? theres something wrong

[latent gull]

for overnight sure

[stark kiln]

I still think it's the CPU and you temps

[trail forum]

Running windows 11 inactivated because I forgot to buy a key

[azure topaz]

open the side panel

[azure topaz]

google "mass gravel script" and follow github

[stark kiln]

Should I blow an AC into it

[latent gull]

this is what it shows for a 20lb 10x10x10 options from TN to oregon

[azure topaz]

no just leave the side panel open

[left trellis]

wait is that actually tech?

[azure topaz]

yes but what do you need that for

[random junco]

im checking oregon to the uk

[azure topaz]

youre the silent pc guy, an ac is the opposite of that

[left trellis]

10ghz oc

[winged sky]

[left trellis]

no im not what 😭

[ionic peak]

Hdd good

[stark kiln]

I hope it is just overheating

[azure topaz]

you wish you could even tell me what the core voltage apply mode option does

[latent gull]

oh yeah thats gonna be stupid high i thought you were in the US

[azure topaz]

werent you asking about 0 fan for chassis fans

[left trellis]

change how much power you give your cpu prob

[left trellis]

no

[azure topaz]

loud buzzer my boy

[azure topaz]

oh my bad

[left trellis]

some guy was tb daisy chaining fans w chassis and I asked what the chassis was

[azure topaz]

power isnt given to the cpu, or anything that takes power

[ionic peak]

2tb hdd for 20

[azure topaz]

power is drawn not forced

[random junco]

overpriced

[azure topaz]

thats pretty good if its new lol

[ionic peak]

You sure?

[random junco]

impossible for new

[winged sky]

Tell that to 100kv

[random junco]

hdd is old and slow

[ionic peak]

From 2020

[random junco]

if its not main storage, go for it

[buoyant bridge]

I've seen microcenter selling consumer HDDs for $20 on discount a lot in store only

[left trellis]

what does call of duty have to do with secure boot

[stark kiln]

So uh thanks for y'all advice

[azure topaz]

anticheat

[ebon marlin]

Anticheat

[stark kiln]

I'll see what I can do rn

[plush wren]

ac prob

[azure topaz]

repaste and pop off side panel

[ebon marlin]

Assassin's creed thanks vro

[azure topaz]

google your hp variant if you really cant figure out the side pannel

[stark kiln]

I got no paste

[left trellis]

oh it still runs fire

[azure topaz]

6$

[left trellis]

I cant enable secure boot

[winged sky]

They want your sweet delicious kernel level permissions

[azure topaz]

no they already have that

[ionic peak]

Yes ofc im not going again playing on it

[left trellis]

werent ppl going crazy w bo3 public servers or smth

[random junco]

wat u gon use it for then

[azure topaz]

yeah cause its p2p

[ionic peak]

Games

[random junco]

hell no

[stark kiln]

I'll see if it's really the temps that are the issue

[azure topaz]

look at clock speeds and temps

[stark kiln]

If so I'll do as y'all say tysm guys

[orchid trellis]

Does makemkv work with a 4k blu ray reader/writer?

[azure topaz]

use msi afterburner overlay

[ionic peak]

Gamed on hdd for 4 years

[stark kiln]

GPU I know is 94° but idk about the cpu

[left trellis]

D:

[azure topaz]

do you neede a quick run through on this in dms or something?

[random junco]

and after 4 years you should consider STOPPING

[ionic peak]

What game is that

[ebon marlin]

Pay 2 play

[azure topaz]

peer to peer

[stark kiln]

It doesn't work I tried setting it up it doesn't react

[ionic peak]

Already since 2020

[stark kiln]

I click buttons I set for it to show up there's nothing

[ebon marlin]

Nah pay 2 play

[azure topaz]

respectfully

you nneed help plugging in a desktop

is there a chance you did it wrong

[winged sky]

Did you set what you wanted to be monitored to in OSD

Cause if not it won't show up

[ionic peak]

Sweet dreams are overrated

[random junco]

is that a game?

[winged sky]

Give me savory ones

[buoyant bridge]

would glass cutting a LM270QQ and dropping it into a dell casing which odly enough has the same mounts as it be dumb?

[stark kiln]

Kinda a yeah

[stark kiln]

It says that but it doesn't show

[winged sky]

....kinda?

[ionic peak]

Nah background music from gtnh

[white pawn]

I just installed the Intel WiFi driver for my motherboard but the WiFi is not showing up (Windows 11). Should I get the Realtek instead?

[azure topaz]

did you set it up like above too

you need to do this part

[buoyant bridge]

LM270QQ could fit in this monitor body if the edges of the glass where cut fof

[ionic peak]

Play gtnh

[winged sky]

gtnh....?

[ionic peak]

Gregtech new horizon a Minecraft modpack

[random junco]

[winged sky]

[ionic peak]

Best back

[stark kiln]

Yes

[winged sky]

Dont tempt me, I might just do it @ionic peak

[ionic peak]

Pack

[formal sonnet]

You'll need to install the correct driver that matches whatever chipset the motherboard manufacturer decided to use on your particular board. If you're not sure which one, there's usually no harm in trying both.

[azure topaz]

what game?

[white pawn]

Okay

[ionic peak]

Join it?

[winged sky]

Huh?

[stark kiln]

Quarantine Zone

[ionic peak]

The modpack

[winged sky]

Maybe???????

[azure topaz]

could be why, set it up how you want followinmg those instructions, consider reinstalling it as well, let riva install anything it wants

[ionic peak]

Dont before its to late

[stark kiln]

Should I increase the fan speed from 43 to 100

[azure topaz]

no

[winged sky]

Im kinda in a factorio kick right now so maybe later

[azure topaz]

let it figure it out by itself, just figure out how to get it more air

[random junco]

if you dont mind hearing it being really loud...sure

i put mine on 90 because i wear iems with constant audio so i will never hear it

sad for my family tho

[azure topaz]

damn yall

just let the gpu do what it wants 😭

[ionic peak]

Ye till lv its hard but after its just how much time you would spend

[stark kiln]

its only showing gpu temps thbats odd

[dark tiger]

I’m doing my first custom build when I’m 15 (2026)

[ionic peak]

You 14?

[dark tiger]

Yeah

And i love tech

[ionic peak]

Oh ok

[dark tiger]

Too sad this happend to my old optiplex, i run on a shitty laptop now

[random junco]

i did mine when i was 12

[azure topaz]

meow

[random junco]

or was it 11

[ionic peak]

There is a info that says its hard

[stark kiln]

I ticked everything

[azure topaz]

EVERYTHING?

[azure topaz]

no youre doing it wrong

[dark tiger]

This is the stupidest tech thing I ever did

[stark kiln]

What?

[ionic peak]

What is this light

[random junco]

😦

[stark kiln]

How do I do it

[winged sky]

Oh dont get me wrong, I absolutely enjoy technical packs. I love building big ass factories in all sorts of games, the more complete the better imo

[random junco]

its called rgb

[azure topaz]

hold on man 😭

[ionic peak]

The other one

[random junco]

white one in bottom left?

[ionic peak]

Ye many multiblocks and littel extra recipes

[stark kiln]

Oh I think I figured it out

[dark tiger]

Well it’s about time for a new pc, I have to tilt the laptop for it to boot

[ionic peak]

Yes 😭

[random junco]

just a light from a hub/device

[ionic peak]

Its so bright

[winged sky]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-cry-hank-hill-hank-hill-crying-king-of-the-hill-gif-11326148967154462308

[random junco]

4gb ddr3..

[ionic peak]

How has that win 11

[azure topaz]

okay, youre partially right, you have just gpu temperature selected right now

[stark kiln]

GPU heats to 90° but cpu is at like 70°

[azure topaz]

you have to click each row of items

[random junco]

its literally just white that covers up like a tiny proportion of the picture
get ur eyes checked

[stark kiln]

Wait where do I click fps I don't see it

[azure topaz]

scroll way down

[ionic peak]

There are many servers in multiplayer in gtnh

[azure topaz]

like 2/3

then by framerate, click the checkmark

[stark kiln]

NVM got it

[azure topaz]

then click show on on screen display

[stark kiln]

Wait why won't it show frame time even if I click it?

[azure topaz]

you have to click the checkmark

its grey normally, make it not grey

[dark tiger]

Upgrading to 16gb later today I’ll also replace ssd

[ionic peak]

My eyes are good its the picture

[winged sky]

same with Create, I need to go make some more create stuff tbh

[azure topaz]

see?

[ionic peak]

Nope its 1.7.10

[dark tiger]

And I’ll get windows 11

[winged sky]

damn :(

[ionic peak]

Hoppers and item pipes

[stark kiln]

Holy shit why is my cpu so low clocked

[ionic peak]

Cheep to

[azure topaz]

cause its 10 years old and garbage

[stark kiln]

I just realized my cou time at 1.30ghz rn somewhy

[azure topaz]

1.3ghz is suspiciously low lol

are you in a game seeing that?

[ionic peak]

Ye its being updated since 10 years

[azure topaz]

if yes thats why your fps is shit

[dusk patio]

not if you're idle

[dark tiger]

1.7 😉

[winged sky]

yes yes I remember pipes, I was around way before 1.7.10 XD

[ionic peak]

Same

[azure topaz]

5.9

[azure topaz]

idk maybe fuck with the power plan

[stark kiln]

Does anyone know if it's just a quirk of the 7500 or it's smth to do with afterburner

[ionic peak]

Why win 11

[azure topaz]

its not afterburner or the 7500 theres just something else up

[stark kiln]

I added 600mhz

[stark kiln]

Oh god it's just a grey screen

[azure topaz]

thats to the graphics card dude

jesus fuck. slow down and read.

[dark tiger]

It’s not my main pc, my main pc is getting 11 later today,

[azure topaz]

you dont know what youre doing so stop acting like it.

[ionic peak]

Specs

[stark kiln]

What?

[azure topaz]

you are new to the computer no matter how much you like them this is still your first real one

[winged sky]

[dark tiger]

Im upgrading to 16gb and replacing ssd today

[stark kiln]

Ok so what should I do?

[ionic peak]

Oh ok

[dusk patio]

4Gb to 16GB will be insane

[azure topaz]

try setting to the high performance power plan/ setting minimum cpu clock to 100%

[winged sky]

Windows key + Shift + S, you'll thank me later

[ionic peak]

Peak

[azure topaz]

that is your graphics card.

[random junco]

lets not lie...

[dark tiger]

It just bsods the pc

[azure topaz]

notice how at the top of the fucking thing it says 1660 super and not i5 7500

[winged sky]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1371775441131802674.gif?size=48&animated=true&name=huh~1

[ionic peak]

I didn't

[stark kiln]

Ok then where the hell do I go

[dusk patio]

it's supposed to be the windows snip tool lmao

[stark kiln]

I set my Power plan to high preformance from balanced will that help

[azure topaz]

windows key
type in "power plan"

yes youre in the right spot

[stark kiln]

Ok so where to now?

[azure topaz]

go from balanced to high performance

[winged sky]

thats... no good

[azure topaz]

then in the same spot, scroll down and find processor power management

[ionic peak]

The light is brighter than aio

[stark kiln]

Wait it won't let me apply power plan

[random junco]

because the aio is a dark red and the white is a pure light

[dark tiger]

Blame Microsoft for installing nvidia drivers on intel gpu automatically

[azure topaz]

edit the current one its fine

[dark tiger]

Ima not risk removing it

[azure topaz]

change minimum processor state to 100%

[ionic peak]

Still bright

[random junco]

broski 😭

[winged sky]

it probably grabbed integrated intel gpu drivers.

[azure topaz]

hit apply

[stark kiln]

Where to go now

[ionic peak]

Your lens

[dark tiger]

It only has intel HD 5500 but it installed GT 640 drivers

[dusk patio]

ummm you might want to install the correct Intel driver

[azure topaz]

change advanced power settings, sorry

[dark tiger]

I will when i get windows 11

[stark kiln]

Ok I clicked it where mext

[winged sky]

oh wait i read that backwards.

[ionic peak]

I use gtx 1060 3gb

[azure topaz]

in the iwndow that pops up find processor power management
then minimum processor state to 100%

[stark kiln]

Clicked it

It's at 5% rn

[azure topaz]

change to 100

[stark kiln]

Are y'all sure it won't fry my PC

[azure topaz]

yes it just locks it at base clock

[stark kiln]

Ok I set it to 100

[azure topaz]

at worst its a couplemore watts drawn

[dark tiger]

Veri gud

[azure topaz]

click apply

[stark kiln]

Ooh now it's at 3.6GHZ

[azure topaz]

okay now go play something see if that fixes it

[stark kiln]

Thanks now it's actually not being ran at speeds worse than my old laptop

[ionic peak]

Fingers

[ionic peak]

Now do 6.7ghz

[stark kiln]

Now my cpu is ran at 3600ghz that's good

[azure topaz]

best i can do is 6.3

[stark kiln]

So far everything seems ok

[azure topaz]

also, your cpu is a "locked" processor, it cant be overclocked or adjusted really for more performance past really basic things like this

[iron glen]

Funny.

[azure topaz]

so in the future or like later today, dont go around asking how to oc it or something

cause you cant

[stark kiln]

Ok now I'll see if it runs better

[ionic peak]

67?

[stark kiln]

IT FOES

[azure topaz]

nice

[stark kiln]

YEAAAH IT RUNS BETTER

(so far of like 1 game play minutes)

[ionic peak]

On war thunder right?

[stark kiln]

Quarantine zone

[azure topaz]

well apparently before it was running terrible

so you should probably be able to tell

[ionic peak]

When war thunder

[azure topaz]

also i wouldnt do that for future computers

[stark kiln]

It doesn't go at 10 fps

[azure topaz]

theres juust something about the HP of the computer that makes it not clock very well all the itme

[stark kiln]

It's still good at 50 fps 1080p low cause the game wants a 10400f

[iron glen]

Sometimes i miss when people say "it aint work" and expect a fix

[stark kiln]

Nevermind it's back to 10 fps

[azure topaz]

not a valid tactic is basically what im saying

[stark kiln]

It's shit once again

[ionic peak]

What game?

[azure topaz]

might just be the game. what cpu usagge?

[stark kiln]

Was good for like 5 secs now it's back to being laggy

[stark kiln]

Cpu1 is at 18%

[azure topaz]

do all cpu usage

in afterburner

what’s gpu usage?

[stark kiln]

Cpu is at like 20% GPU is at like 100%

Def temps

[azure topaz]

or your gpu is maxed out

[ionic peak]

Gpu 100%?

[azure topaz]

what clocks are the gpu at?

core

[ionic peak]

What gpu

[stark kiln]

Could be the afterburner issue

[azure topaz]

300mhz yeah it’s temps

[stark kiln]

1660S

[azure topaz]

you gotta open that side panel bro

[ionic peak]

Nice

[azure topaz]

your gpu should be at almost 2000mhz

it’s throttling to oblivion that’s why your fps dropped so suddenly

it got too hot and is now trying to save itself

[ionic peak]

Core overheating. Shutdown in 3 min

[azure topaz]

not really but

it’s too hot and not nearly at the right clock

[stark kiln]

Where?

Def GPU temps they're at like stable 90 ish°

[azure topaz]

oh it’s a big one, sick. that little black tab right there moved left or right

[ionic peak]

https://tenor.com/view/excuse-me-gif-19259515

[stark kiln]

The one on the right

[azure topaz]

move that and pull the side panel toward the wall at the same time

[stark kiln]

Ok

[ionic peak]

Hmm iPhone

[azure topaz]

worst case here the gpu needs a repaste

[stark kiln]

Did that nothing happened

[azure topaz]

just wait damn bro

can i see afterburner again?

[azure topaz]

or like the panel didn’t come off you mean

[stark kiln]

What specifically

[azure topaz]

whole window

[stark kiln]

IT didn't

[azure topaz]

fiddle with it

[ionic peak]

Air flow?

[azure topaz]

it’s not that hard and that certainly is the way to do it

[azure topaz]

i use these hp machines at work

[azure topaz]

afterburner itself not the settings window

[azure topaz]

yeah

okie yeah just fiddle with that side panel latch and the panel

you should just have to move the latch and pull the panel

[stark kiln]

Did I fuck up

[azure topaz]

harder than you think

[ionic peak]

Hmm tempbissue

[stray portal]

I am a sad fella of the gaming laptop

[azure topaz]

no probably just windowed mode fuckin up

[stark kiln]

Okay

[ionic peak]

You cooking

[stark kiln]

So I should just remove the front panel? What then

[azure topaz]

get the side panel off

[formal sonnet]

What is the exact model of computer? If this is a DELL, you can alternatively provide the "Service Tag" or "Express Service Code" from the sticker on the case that contains this information. If this is an HP, please provide the "HP P/N" (Product Number) from the sticker on the case. These stickers are usually on the top, side, or rear.

[azure topaz]

i’m not gonna keep saying this

[azure topaz]

hp something or other, amazon’s special, just a prebuilt with a dgpu

[stark kiln]

It's an HP Elite desk 800 G3

[tall jetty]

ctrl+alt+delete restart it can fix almost anything

[stray portal]

I bought a gaming laptop for my birthday one year.. It was great but like a year (I think) later I got a pc and have been enjoying it ever since

Don't get me wrong the laptop and me had amazing times but the pc is just so much better

[azure topaz]

ho elite desk 800 g3 MT

[ionic peak]

I got since 2 years pc

[azure topaz]

https://youtu.be/7VuYsQRY8Es?si=P9LU9YpAR-joXn1T

first bit

like first minute

[normal maple]

I am watching a Linus video for how to set up my PC. He says I should have SVM enabled. I checked and it is set to auto in the Bios by default. Do I need to explicitly enable it, or should auto be fine? I don't want to mess with the settings more than needed.

[ionic peak]

Ye from i5 750 to ryzen 5 5600/ 1600x

[azure topaz]

1600x 😭

[south arrow]

[ionic peak]

What it was 55 euro

[ionic peak]

Gn

[azure topaz]

not a great price

[south arrow]

I wish just beat

[azure topaz]

coulda got a 5500 for that

[stray portal]

I went from ryzen 5 6600h (on laptop) to ryzen 5700x on pc

But on gpu side I went from 3050 to 7800xt

[ionic peak]

With mobo ram and wraith cooler

[fringe prairie]

ideapad gaming or something?

is my guess

or some acer nitro idk

[stray portal]

My laptop was an hp victus 16

[fringe prairie]

eh close enough

[ionic peak]

I got from 750i5 and HD 5670 to ryzen 1600x and gtx 1060 3gb

[fringe prairie]

thats a really nice gpu upgrade

[ionic peak]

For my sec pc

[tribal sentinel]

is the jump from 1080p to 1440p that noticible or not

[formal sonnet]

Page 30 of the Maintenance and Service Guide has the instructions you seek. HP, it should NOT have taken THIS long for me to locate the PDF...
https://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05382325.pdf

[azure topaz]

i already got it

[ionic peak]

I got mobo kit

[azure topaz]

i just sent the service video

[azure topaz]

better

[ionic peak]

Ye

[formal sonnet]

Yes, you got the video, I got the written instructions. (Different people learn differently - some like videos, others prefer detailed, written instruction. Now, if only we could legally require that manufacturers provide both.)

[ionic peak]

Sold wraith cooler

Got tiny cooler on it

[dark tiger]

This just happend and it’s not a driver issule

Why not 48?

[tall jetty]

that might be a good idea since i sleep once every 2 days

[ionic peak]

Why does 12 hours clock exist

[dark tiger]

Bend test

[tall jetty]

to distict between daytime and night or smthing

if u divide time into too they say its easier to manage

[ionic peak]

Oh ok

[formal sonnet]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock#History_and_use

[tall jetty]

egyptian clock used a 12 hr format cuz son goes down after around 12 hrs that where it existed

[ionic peak]

Good night mod

[tall jetty]

so its first format of time in a way

[tall jetty]

my theory btw

[ionic peak]

I like 24

[tall jetty]

mee too

[ionic peak]

😴 😴 😴

[tall jetty]

but for the clocks they are made in 12hr format

and in some way its easier to manage and schedule for some reason

u have a clear distinction btw late and not late

[dusk patio]

I use 12hr because I'm used to analog clocks

[stark kiln]

So uh I decided to set my fan speed to 100. My GPU temp went from like 60s idle to 53 idle

[dusk patio]

how loud is it though

[stark kiln]

Not very loud actually

[dusk patio]

cool

[south arrow]

I miss the month of sol and even months

That'd be neat

[stark kiln]

I hope I fixed my GPU being at like 93° and giving me 5fps

[south arrow]

But noooooOOo cause 13months is to much or smth

[stark kiln]

51 now

[south arrow]

2 extra paydays wouldn't fit the system xD

[late pelican]

can anyone recommend a good gaming headset thats around $250 ?

[south arrow]

Balling anything $250+- should be pretty premo

[formal sonnet]

If you're just getting started, I would recommend perusing https://www.soundguys.com/best-gaming-headsets-12877/ and https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/best/by-usage/gaming

Don't just blindly buy something from any list, including either of the above sites - instead, read how they test these things so you know what to look for when doing your own research.

[south arrow]

Walmart has test headphones wich I feel oddly about

[random junco]

iems would have better audio quality, and theyre better suited at this price range

[stable depot]

Anyone know why everytime I turn my pc on I have to enter my recovery keys its so annoying how do i fix it

[stark kiln]

I'll lyk guys if it works once with downloads

[late pelican]

i have the razer blackshark v2 with the usb sound card. but they are 5 yr old. and i got the logitech 535. that are pretty worn out now too.

I too have the Logitech G535. And the G733. And the G435. So far, they've all been pretty good value for money, considering I didn't want to spend $200+ CAD on wireless headphones.

[late pelican]

only thing i did to those to make them 'better' was added the wickedcusions cool gel earcups and a new band for the headrest

hi im looking for an opinion here, im kinda conflited rn

[stark kiln]

Before vs after

[stark kiln]

Monitor is 60hz but 75hz on some random resolution only reliable for cs2

[buoyant bridge]

is it connected via vga/dvi-a

[stark kiln]

HDMI

1660S dosent support VGA and I got no DVI cables

[buoyant bridge]

ah weird.

[stark kiln]

wait its at like

its 75hz at 1280x1024

[buoyant bridge]

yeah thats nothing to do with connector limits lol

[stark kiln]

Testing out MC

GPU is actually cool so far

[wet scroll]

3 bottom fans and 3 top or 3 side and 3 top? Its a fish tank w the same shape as y70

[stark kiln]

Stable 200 fps

No way it's that good 😲

AND the GPU is coop

[wet scroll]

Its minecraft pookie

[stark kiln]

There's a cou bottlenecked sadly

[wet scroll]

Whats your cpu

[stark kiln]

I5 7500

[pastel bobcat]

hmmm I think the prebuilt I made was listed on the wrong currency

It is WAY cheaper than the same one is on other sites. I think they meant to sell it for 6400 polish zloty, not swedish kronor 😛

[stark kiln]

Oh wlel My friend has i9 9900k on same mobo so i can buy it from him

He will upgrade soon

[wet scroll]

I dont think that's bottlenecking a 1660s

[trail forum]

Are 75% alcohol wipes good for cleaning thermal paste off?

Wanna repaste my old pc lol

[dusky flare]

should I consider reinstalling windows on a 4 year old laptop to increase gaming performance. I feel like the performance has deteriorated overtime. I occasionally do clean the fans and have repasted the thermal paste

[trail forum]

What’s the specs on your old laptop

[stark kiln]

It does have some stutters when loading chunks but regardless of that it runs at 200 fps

My HDD sounds like it's a radioactive detecter but eh

[dusky flare]

ryzen 9 5900hx rtx 3070 32gb ram

[stark kiln]

I'll let it think

[dusk patio]

like those wipes you might use to clean glasses? as long as it doesn't leave a residue it's fine

[dusky flare]

i have a custom fan curve and voltage curve which helps a little bit but still not as much

[stark kiln]

It's either gonna commit a very bad thing or it's just pranking me

[ivory mountain]

will probably be margin of error performance wise when you reinstall ngl

[dusky flare]

im gonna try repasting thermal paste again coz my gpu hits 86 degrees immediately

[stark kiln]

Holy shit my GPU is at 80° playing MINECRAFT

[winged sky]

https://tenor.com/view/pc-fire-gif-18709628

[stark kiln]

And it was 94° before

I def gotta see what's going on cause my CPU is at decent 60°

[winged sky]

Means the thermal paste is probably cement at this point

[stark kiln]

I'll ask to buy another one

But will it void warranty on the PC?

[winged sky]

How old is your pc

What gpu is it

[stark kiln]

Just got it

[stark kiln]

1660S

[winged sky]

I didnt even know a 1660S could hit 90 XD

[stark kiln]

Guess I'm special XD

[winged sky]

This is a desktop right

[carmine yew]

Any chip can hit 90c if cooling is bad enough

[stark kiln]

Yes

Here it is

[winged sky]

Well yea no shit but its impressive that the cooling is bad enough to do that.

[stark kiln]

Thing is the CPU isn't even that hot

[stark kiln]

Crap it's growing to 86°

[winged sky]

Can you send a picture

[winged sky]

Jesus

[empty quartz]

8 month update on le ifone 16 pro macks battery health @limpid ivy

Do you have a picture of inside your case

[stark kiln]

I didn't even open it

[winged sky]

Uh....

Well you should

Make sure no packing material is inside

@stark kiln

[stark kiln]

I flashed thru flashlight saw barely anything but I think there's none

[sleek remnant]

idk hwo does it work

[winged sky]

Still that hot for a gpu of that caliber means you should check inside and see if the fan is even spinning on it

[limpid ivy]

149 still going strong here lol

My 16 pro hit 200 cycles but hasn’t dropped yet

[azure topaz]

did you take the side panel off? if so you probably just need to repaste it at some point

[winged sky]

Well they said they just got the pc and they havent opened it up

[azure topaz]

face palm

[winged sky]

But their 1660s is hitting 92c

I told em to open it up lmao

[azure topaz]

so about idk 3 hours ago me and another guy told him about 100 times to take the side panel off to see if that helps

even sent instructions

[winged sky]

So im just talking to a brick wall

Gotcha

[white pawn]

Is the 7700x better than the 7800x3d for video editing and compositing?

[fringe prairie]

i wouldn't consider either if that's important to you

[clear canyon]

yeah lol

[wheat torrent]

x3d makes is better for mostly games only

as far as I know the NORMAL CHIPS, like the 7700x is always better for productivity

because youre compormising other things when going for the x3d

[white pawn]

Awesome (just built a pc with the 7700x)

[wheat torrent]

indeed the 7700x boosts higher

[white pawn]

Boost clock speed means?

Maximum possible clock speed?

[grizzled frost]

Mhm

[white pawn]

The eight cores also make it great

[grizzled frost]

8 cores is a pretty low bar

[wheat torrent]

when I wanted to get a new CPU I always thought that x3d is just better overall, more expensive, performs better in games

[grizzled frost]

basically any CPU you buy nowadays will be 8 cores or more

[wheat torrent]

but I was misinformed

[white pawn]

Yeah should’ve gotten the 9995WX instead

[grizzled frost]

9965*

[white pawn]

Wdym

[wheat torrent]

I got R 7900 right now

[grizzled frost]

9995wx is only 96 cores, 9965 is 192 cores

[wheat torrent]

I should probably look at overclocking it to get it close to same performance as 7900X

but idk

[white pawn]

Wtf

[grizzled frost]

i didn't think i would ever say "only 96 cores", but here we are

[grizzled frost]

9965 also supports dual socket, so 384 cores in a single motherboard

And i do mean cores, not threads

[wheat torrent]

I am waiting for 10th gen ryzen

its not 10th gen is it

[grizzled frost]

11th gen*

[wheat torrent]

whatever yeah

[grizzled frost]

major gens are every 2

[wheat torrent]

it looks pretty nice on paper

[white pawn]

Only $6000 USD

[grizzled frost]

basically every even number gen sucks balls

[grizzled frost]

where the fuck are you finding a 9965 that cheap?

[white pawn]

Seriously not bad

[grizzled frost]

they were going for nearly double that last i checked

[white pawn]

Ebay lmao

[wheat torrent]

but idk, will they release zen7 before they move to am6?

[analog widget]

i want to geting to vr sim raceing i have a sim i am trying to figure out what vr head set to use i was thkning of the Meta Quest 3 is thier anything else that i should keep my eye out for

[grizzled frost]

No one knows

[grizzled frost]

whats your budget for the headset

[wheat torrent]

the leaks looked promising for zen6 but we have to see

[white pawn]

I’m supposed to be writing a math exam rn so I gotta get back to that

[wheat torrent]

it will cost a pretty penny I assume

[analog widget]

300-400 usd

[grizzled frost]

Quest3 ain't in that budget mate

[white pawn]

Is the 9800x3d better than the EPYC 9965 at gaming

[analog widget]

geting second hadn

[grizzled frost]

by an order of magnitude

[grizzled frost]

ew...

get replacement padding please

[wheat torrent]

I assume they will do am6 only when ddr6 is ready?

[grizzled frost]

ddr6 is technically ready

[wheat torrent]

ready for mass adoption?

[grizzled frost]

the spec has been finalized for quite a while now

[analog widget]

i prob would but i was judt wondering if their are any outher options

[grizzled frost]

that's another matter entirely

[grizzled frost]

not in that price range

[wheat torrent]

ddr6 double the bandwidth?

[grizzled frost]

quest 3 is probably your best bet

[grizzled frost]

iirc, yes

[haughty thistle]

Tried adding my 5090 and a new psu to my pc. Fellas the computer will now no longer start.

[wheat torrent]

at that point one stick should be the same speed as top ddr4 dual sticks?

[ivory mountain]

Give it to me ill test

[grizzled frost]

DDR5 can already achieve 2x the bandwidth of DDR4 mate

[wheat torrent]

Yeah I know

[grizzled frost]

one stick of ddr6 could theoretically have the same bandwidth as two sticks of DDR5, or four of DDR4

[wheat torrent]

alright yeah

yeah fair

do we need more bandwidth on ram?

will there be anything to be gained of having 2x the bandwidth of dual sticks of ddr5 thats crazy amount

[grizzled frost]

Same benefit as was had with DDR5 over DDR4

[wheat torrent]

like ddr5 6000 is what

~96GB/s?

[grizzled frost]

single channel is 48GB/s, dual channel is 96GB/s

[empty quartz]

@grizzled frost i got half life 1 onto my ifon 16 pro max :3

[wheat torrent]

192 GB/s Dual channel is wild like

idk

do consumer things use that much bandwidth?

[empty quartz]

the way ddr5 channels works is even cooler

[wheat torrent]

what happens that something might need 192GB/s

[grizzled frost]

GDDR7x can reach 1.5TB/s in a single die

[empty quartz]

Basically splits 1 channel into 2

[grizzled frost]

32gbps per pin

PER PIN

[wheat torrent]

yeah but thats GPU

[empty quartz]

So on a technicality; ddr5 is quad channel for 2 dimms

[wheat torrent]

wait 🤔

I think the double bandwidth of ram would make integrated graphics more capable?

[frigid topaz]

Can anyone find me a good pre-built pc? It's for a friend

[grizzled frost]

Bit of an oversimplifaction, it has two busses in a single channel

[grizzled frost]

sure one sec

[frigid topaz]

Okay thx

[empty quartz]

Icba to be specific

eitherway

everytime we move to a new generation of ram

[wheat torrent]

yeah but thing is yall live in proper economy

I spent like 300-400 USD on my ram

No, im canadian

[grizzled frost]

512gb of ddr3 cost about the same as 96gb of ddr5

[wheat torrent]

I cant wait to spend 800 usd on ddr6

[frigid topaz]

No no she has a 1k budget lmao and preferably from Amazon.fr

[white pawn]

Jokes on you I have 128 kb of ddr ram

[wheat torrent]

how much

Joke on you, i have sdr ram

[grizzled frost]

So why didn't you mention that to begin with?

If you aren't gonna give me the proper amount of information to actually help you, you get sub par help

[frigid topaz]

Yeah my bad

[ivory mountain]

Find my is giving me sub par information too

[wheat torrent]

I spent 340 usd on my 64gb

6000 cl 30

[grizzled frost]

how much does it cost

ddr6 once it release at decent prices it will for sure be ~800-900 usd in my country for the first few years

[frigid topaz]

900

[white pawn]

Guys should I get 32 TB of sdr ram for shits n giggles

[wheat torrent]

then it will drop to 600$ 💀

[grizzled frost]

i spent 330USD on 2x48 6000 CL30

[wheat torrent]

[grizzled frost]

how many dimms is that

[empty quartz]

@grizzled frost rate the vibes

[wheat torrent]

32GB is too little for me

[grizzled frost]

6/11

[clear canyon]

just bc of the song, 9/10

[wheat torrent]

I rarley use 64GB of ram

[white pawn]

At least two

[empty quartz]

Dont mind the filthy peasant that was cut in half

[wheat torrent]

I hover in between of 32 and 64

[clear canyon]

lol. thats just a bonus

[wheat torrent]

@grizzled frost YOU HERE

[grizzled frost]

AH, I THINK SO

[wheat torrent]

GREAT

you have a nas right

[grizzled frost]

yes

that's the system with 512gb of ddr3

[wheat torrent]

I have 2 servers
one is

i5 9400f | 16gb of ram | shit micro mobo
and the new server I am building
ryzen 5 5600 | 64gb ram | better mobo

I use my current i5 9400f server to host all sort of things and as a nas, but I want to make one of the servers to be NAS only and then keep another server for running all of my shit

[grizzled frost]

always make the gimpy server the NAS

Being a NAS requires very little power

[wheat torrent]

i5 9400f can't boot in headless mode so I need to have a GPU in it, this means I can't install a HBA or a network card

[grizzled frost]

For most consumers

[wheat torrent]

I don't want to use my new server with a NAS OS on it

[grizzled frost]

get a shitty GPU and throw it in the x1 slot on the board

[wheat torrent]

I already have a gtx 1650 super in it

hold on though

[grizzled frost]

move it to the x1 slot and throw the HBA in the x16 slot

[wheat torrent]

I didnt think about putting the gpu in the x1 slot

you're cooking

[grizzled frost]

not like you need much bandwidth for the GPU in a NAS anyways

[wheat torrent]

THIS IS LIFE SAVING

[grizzled frost]

i have two genuine LSI HBA's sitting on a shelf unused rn

[wheat torrent]

bruhh I asked a few people no one mentioned this, this is so obvious this is the way to go

[grizzled frost]

i really need to find a use for them

[carmine yew]

if anyone thinks their Drones are cool?
get wrekt:

[wheat torrent]

raid 1 won't be able to saturate 1gbps right?

consumer hdds

[grizzled frost]

how many HDDs

[frigid topaz]

Both better than my gaming pc haha

[carmine yew]

depends on the drives, some can

[wheat torrent]

two

[carmine yew]

125 MB/s isn't that much speed

[grizzled frost]

also depends on file size

[wheat torrent]

the ryzen 5 5600 server has a 3070 founders edition in it, gulp

[wheat torrent]

agreed, I was thinking of getting at the very least 2.5gbps but rauko said that 1gbps is plenty

[grizzled frost]

i have a 1080 in my NAS with 512gb of ram and dual 8c CPUs

[grizzled frost]

i barely use it

[wheat torrent]

im unsure, I am going to use two 10TB drives

[carmine yew]

are you planning to be constantly copying huge files to and from it?

[wheat torrent]

using as an archive

[carmine yew]

then 1gbps is more than enough

[wheat torrent]

I do 3d modeling, I work on projects and I want to back them up after im done

[carmine yew]

how big are your files

(large average)

[wheat torrent]

checking irght now

[frigid topaz]

I got a i7 4790s and rx 580

[grizzled frost]

give into temptation and upgrade to 10g networking

[formal sonnet]

For backup purposes, 1gbit is usually fine unless you're archiving like... 100GB of files that actually change everyday.

[wheat torrent]

average it to ~2GBs per project, most files are small except 2-3 files

10-20 files per project

sometimes lot's of textures, 1024x1024 textures, 2-3MB per texture

[carmine yew]

2gb? So 30s to copy. Do you really care?

[wheat torrent]

you right

yeah that makes a lot of sense

[formal sonnet]

Heck, my Synology DS918+ and dual 18TB WD white label helium enterprise drives backup around 50-150GB from each of our computers on a weekly basis, and one of these computers does its backups over 5GHz WiFi. 🤷

[carmine yew]

45 if it's being slow

[grizzled frost]

For a short period of time i was running backups over 2.4ghz wifi...

[carmine yew]

unless you're dealing with shit-tons of data 1gbps is pretty zippy for consumers

[wheat torrent]

I have this problem where I am easily getting lost in wanting the best of the best

[grizzled frost]

full fat 1gbps is beautiful, anything greater is just vanity for consumers

[wheat torrent]

I always think that this or that won't be enough and I need to get the best options out there

[carmine yew]

then go invest 20K USD and do 40gbps fiber

[wheat torrent]

I totally do not need more than 1gbps 💀

[grizzled frost]

400g networking time!

[prime moth]

I have an old i7-6700k and 980ti PC. If I refurb it and get a decent amount of RAM (think it has 16GB DDR4 right now), do y'all think it'd work for hosting some dedicated servers (Minecraft, Abiotic Factor, Satisfactory, etc.)? Assuming like 5-8 players max on any server.

[grizzled frost]

Sure, why not?

[wheat torrent]

Should I bother about compressing the files?

[grizzled frost]

Depends on the file type and how well they compress

[wheat torrent]

I feel like that might add another factor where things can go wrong

[carmine yew]

totally, bnumnber of players will depend opn mods and other factors tho

[grizzled frost]

are you gonna get close to 10TB of data without compression?

[carmine yew]

9TB: Remeber base 2 vs 10

[formal sonnet]

It'll handle what you describe just fine. I run similar things on this "ancient" mini PC: #tech-chat-1 message

[wheat torrent]

not for a few years

[grizzled frost]

RAH I HATE GB vs Gb vs GiB

[wheat torrent]

im at around ~1.5TB data right now

[prime moth]

Cool, ya. Probably won't go too modded, likely just some QOL for Minecraft. Appreciate the response!

[wheat torrent]

with files since 2019

[carmine yew]

it's the fuckin' worst. And marketing bullshit is all it is

[wheat torrent]

but I started making shit more seriously this year, and I think thats ~60% of the storage I use

[grizzled frost]

It could have been one system, but different people just had to pick their own systems for storage terms

[wheat torrent]

do I cut the 1x slot on my mobo 💀?

or do I get a raiser

[carmine yew]

why

[prime moth]

Good to hear. Definitely gives me the motivation to try and get it sorted out then. Was worried it wouldn't be up to the task. Gotta custom watercool it, so not gonna be SUPER cheap.

[grizzled frost]

gpu in a 1x slot

need the x16 slot for the HBA

[carmine yew]

he does not need a x16 for hba

[grizzled frost]

either way you gotta cut the x1

guarantee it ain't a x1 HBA

[carmine yew]

doesn't the board have 2 sata?

[wheat torrent]

rauko told me to look at something else other than HBA

[grizzled frost]

That is actually a great question that i didn't think of

[wheat torrent]

like sata expansions and whatnot

[carmine yew]

don't you have sata on the mobo?

[wheat torrent]

I have 4

1 for OS

[carmine yew]

so use that?

[grizzled frost]

technically a bit easier, but less work to just cope with the onboard SATA than fuck around with cutting a PCIE slot

[carmine yew]

you only need an HBA if you need more drives than the board can support

[wheat torrent]

fair enough

can I expand raid1 from 2 drives to 3 later on? or is it only even numbers

[grizzled frost]

You can, but you'd have to rebuild the array

[wheat torrent]

sounds scary

[grizzled frost]

meaning it would wipe all the data on the array

[carmine yew]

also: Hardware RAID is dead.
Do not try hardware RAID. Only do software in the NAS OS.

[wheat torrent]

I will be using NAS OS

[grizzled frost]

you can temporarily move it elsewhere though

decided on an OS?

[wheat torrent]

I have some of thes

[wheat torrent]

true nas or whatever

[grizzled frost]

[carmine pike]

hipocrite

[carmine yew]

[grizzled frost]

[carmine pike]

[wheat torrent]

I also have a cloud storage for sending files to my clients 🤔
Could somehow using a SSD for recent files help with that

[grizzled frost]

not in an elegant manner, no

[carmine yew]

not really

[carmine pike]

i updated everything but it simply doesnt show it

[wheat torrent]

I would imagine as some sort of cache idk

[grizzled frost]

Not something that can be easily setup

[carmine yew]

did you go to the manuf's website and download them directly

[wheat torrent]

but again a hdd is like what, 150MB/s
more than 1gbps

[carmine pike]

yes sir

[carmine yew]

what monitor
and how's it connected

[formal sonnet]

Wow. Why didn't you tell me you had all these SATA SSD's to hand out like candy before I bought a couple 400GB Intel DC S3710 drives to use as secondary storage in my Dell Optiplex Mini PC's!

[wheat torrent]

I watched some linus video where they built a nas and mentioned that OS drive bla bla bla cache whatever whatever

[carmine pike]

LG 27GS60F-B
DP 1.4

[grizzled frost]

Works well for your selfhosted NAS, much less so for cloud storage you're renting

[pearl pier]

ok so i just moved my pc and i found an old nvme drive in the back that wasnt plugged in, when i went to boot up my pc it booted off the old one, but now that i did that my main boot drive dosent show up when i try to boot from it, ive checked all my cables, plugged the main boot drive into another pc and it shows up as a normal drive but whenever i plug into my main pc it wont show up, ive been dealing with this all day

[wheat torrent]

around 50% reduction by compressing

[sleek remnant]

does dual boot comes with motherboard or?

[pearl pier]

i dont think so

[carmine yew]

Simple answer: HDR10 isn't really HDR, so don't waste your time.

Anything other than MiniLED or OLED can't actually do HDR

[wheat torrent]

I wont bother with compression for the time being

[carmine pike]

shirt, my bad

[carmine yew]

most are dogshit drives.

Some are actually labelled "OEM SSD"

[formal sonnet]

k nevermind. keep your SSDs. 😄

[wheat torrent]

my monitor has local dimming!
whopping 10 zones

[pearl pier]

it dosent, i just had to replace my motherboard a week ago cause my ex put a bios password i dont know on it

[carmine yew]

5 across the top and 5 across the bottom, i bet

[sleek remnant]

bruh

seriously

[pearl pier]

yep

[grizzled frost]

i am no longer breaking into your house, keep your ssds

[carmine yew]

technically they're in my office lol

[sleek remnant]

its not that smart move by putting a bios password lmao

[grizzled frost]

good, i don't want to be too close to those things

[wheat torrent]

btw I was impressed to how good the VA panel on my monitors are

I totally forgot that VA is supposed to have smearing

I can't see any smearing whatsoever

[carmine yew]

on my desk at home I do have an Intel P1600X 116GB drive
(y'know, Optane)

@formal sonnet

[pearl pier]

so when i boot off my old nvme with windows on it and main boot drive is plugged in it shows up in windows

[wheat torrent]

the white text being duplicated isnt visible in person

[pearl pier]

but not when i boot it, im honestly confused

[hushed tapir]

is it safe to use windex on an OLED monitor? i've never own an expensive monitor and want to take care of it

[carmine yew]

do not use windex

[wheat torrent]

💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀

[hushed tapir]

what should be used?

[carmine yew]

just get a few microfiber cloths

[wheat torrent]

What monitor is it

[sleek remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/monster-versus-vs-alien-monster-vs-alien-gif-16037253809360562033

[wheat torrent]

usually the brand has a guide on how to clean it

[formal sonnet]

Noice. Still good as caching drives for a NAS situation maybe.

[hushed tapir]

Alienware AW3425DW

[pearl pier]

i ordered a new power supply because the longer sata cable is the only thing i can think of that is failing

but now its fucking not

[carmine yew]

First choice for monitor cleaning:
Dry microfiber cloth

Second Choice for monitor cleaning:
Damp microfiber cloth

[wheat torrent]

read the manual!!!!!!!

[pearl pier]

i just lick my monitor till all the dust goes away

[carmine yew]

monitor screen filters and such do not like chemicals, so do not use them

[wheat torrent]

im sure cleaning it with windex would of ended well :clueless:

gulp

[carmine yew]

a little windex probably wouldn't have ruined it, but don't tempt fate

[carmine yew]

proobably skin oil, dry microfiber

[sleek remnant]

some uv light but day

[formal sonnet]

If you want to use a cleaner on it, this is the ONLY product I'd ever use on screens. Otherwise, your monitor manual will tell you how to safely clean it. https://whoosh.com/

[wheat torrent]

yeah just read the manual

[sleek remnant]

is that a real thing or a joke

[hushed tapir]

alright. i'll just get some distilled water because my tap water is not the cleanest.

[sleek remnant]

well you just edited smh

[carmine yew]

nah, one of these:
https://nerdwax.com/products/nerdwax-pizza-cloth

[hushed tapir]

the dry cloth that came with the monitor is not getting the spots up

[formal sonnet]

I edited nothing about my message? Simply hid the embed because they take up WAY TOO MUCH vertical space.

[wheat torrent]

I was hesitant about getting QD oled because my cat loves rubbing his chin against my monitors

was ready to get Woled but ended up getting VA panels

[hushed tapir]

i love mine and will never go back to a regular panel again

[sleek remnant]

oh then im blind

[carmine yew]

or for anyone who REALLY wants to fuck with people:

[wheat torrent]

at this point just make a sandpaper one

[carmine yew]

this one?
https://nerdwax.com/products/sandpaper

[wheat torrent]

yes

[carmine yew]

(nerd wax is fucking hilarious)

[formal sonnet]

You could actually use Sandpaper to clean glass screens - it would just have to be high-enough grit. 🤣

[wheat torrent]

could you imagine a world without sandpaper

[carmine yew]

no, because stones were the original sand paper
