[pale flint]

i 100% recommend it

[unkempt blaze]

some manual options are locked. my mobo is ASUS prime-a320m-k. Not all OC options are available @rigid fjord

[pale flint]

good choice i am investing in this

[jaunty apex]

OH COMUPTER ENGINEERING! Much different than CompSci

My bad

🐒 bait

[keen loom]

Not in ego

[rigid fjord]

you can tweak it some more, but this is basically what you want for an r5 3600 or r5 5600/x

[exotic valley]

Aside from basic computer science curriculums and I do EE courses as well

[grizzled frost]

Only reason gome is continuing like he is, is because yall keep acknowledging him

[unkempt blaze]

Alright imma try

[pale flint]

or maybe ragebaiting?

[cosmic lance]

im be computer engineer when i grow up :DDD

[gentle kestrel]

interesting

[azure topaz]

thats the same thing

[grizzled frost]

acknowledging rage bait is what encourages it

[hallow jasper]

its just from their FAQ here https://www.gskill.com/faq/1502180912/DRAM-Memory

[rigid fjord]

funnily enough this is a good board to do pbo tuning with when it comes to a320 chipset

[gentle kestrel]

on air cooling

[azure topaz]

on air cooling yes yes

[cosmic lance]

thanks for the tip 👍

[grizzled frost]

don’t fall into the peak of the dunning kruger chart

[exotic valley]

That’s usually how I suggest people

[grizzled frost]

dunning kruger for those who don’t know

[waxen shell]

Why is ram more expensive nows?

[unkempt blaze]

They're greyed out

[gentle kestrel]

nand pricing and tariffs

[waxen shell]

Oke

[keen loom]

Yep, I'm good in my specialty but that's about it

[grizzled frost]

I know enough about a lot of things to know i don’t know much about a lot of things

[waxen shell]

Silicon shortage again?

[keen loom]

I have approximate knowledge of many things

[jaunty apex]

My slope to enlightenment is extremely shallow lmao

[left dove]

presidential carrot

[rigid fjord]

scalar should never be above x2 ever, and tbh the ones marked auto you can type into

[gentle kestrel]

no nand pricing is always just flucating a bit, the second is the bigger factor

[waxen shell]

Carrots improve your eye sight

[left dove]

not the dork in the oval office

[grizzled frost]

no, no they don’t

[waxen shell]

Yes they do

[kindred halo]

So pretty much both my options

Check a Zenbook but that's 8GB soldered

[grizzled frost]

that was genuinely a lie told by the british in ww2 as counterintelligence to cover up the existence of radar

[unkempt blaze]

Alright so I just copy pasted your settings

[left dove]

also yeah wasn't the "carrots help your eyesight" thing a WWI propoganda thing for rationing food

[grizzled frost]

Vitamin K helps preserve eyesight, anything beyond the required amount goes unused

[waxen shell]

Relax liberal, It’s called dark humor

[keen loom]

My specialty is weird windows issues and testing for hardware failures, but that's about it

[waxen shell]

What dnb

[static void]

drum n bass

[pale flint]

[grizzled frost]

i love when people use vague acronyms out of context and refuse to elaborate

[waxen shell]

I just said that moron

[cosmic lance]

[unkempt blaze]

Is ram XMP good?

[jaunty apex]

[mild forge]

heeeeelp
i got a huge problem with my sounds. i have a steelseries arctis 7, which has a scroll wheel on the back to switch whether i want my chat or game louder than the other. i installed a soundboard today, and after using it for a bit decided just to use my regular mic input and close it. after i did that my *game chat ** started to sound like a radio without signal
i unstalled the software for my headset, reinstalled that, and the same procedure with my sound drivers. dunno what to do anymore. do i reset my pc?

maybe yall can help

i aint got no ideas anymore

[left dove]

contact steelseries?

[mild forge]

they are a pain in the ass

[plain cypress]

Clown lips 🤡

[left dove]

Please name the build that

[cosmic lance]

the light on the intel arc logo is just... perfect

[vast thorn]

try unplugging the soundboard

[cosmic lance]

worth the 6 watt of power it uses

[mild forge]

erm

[plain cypress]

Huh

[true stirrup]

Go into Steel series mixer and play with the inputs/outputs there

[mild forge]

tried EVERYTHING inside the program

[vast thorn]

static usually happens when something's wrong with the cable though

[cosmic lance]

sorry I meant 10w

[mild forge]

its only one specific channel thpugh

[dusk patio]

does the motherboard onboard sound work?

[vast thorn]

hmm

[plain cypress]

Kilowatt?

[true stirrup]

I have arctis 5 and it happens with bad settings as well

[mild forge]

how do i check, sorry

[cosmic lance]

watt

[warm shard]

doctors are ignorant 😭

[plain cypress]

Watt up bro

[kindred halo]

OKAY I think a Thinkbook works

[vast thorn]

just your game chat sounds like that?

[dusk patio]

like without using the soundcard I mean

[mild forge]

yes

[kindred halo]

ThinkBook 15 G4 ABA - R7 5825U

[vast thorn]

something's wrong with the settings ig

[mild forge]

uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[ionic peak]

mmmmmmmmmm

[dusk patio]

unplug the sound card I guess? so you can see if it's causing problems

[mild forge]

how to locate a sound card bro

im gonna cry omfg

do i js reset ?

[dusk patio]

I thought you said you installed a sound card today??

[ionic peak]

use /gamerule find Windows:Cards:Soundcard

[kindred halo]

Oh wait ThinkPad E14 Gen 5 similarly priced with a better GPU

MX550 2GB yes but better than Vega 8

[mild forge]

i installed a soundboard

and uninstalled it after my sound started glitching out

[dusk patio]

I'm fucking stupid 😭

[mild forge]

no its alr

[kindred halo]

@rigid fjord
Whadya think? i5-1335U, 8GB of DDR4 (16GB@2133 when I upgrade, unless SODIMM and soldered allow mixing RAM), 512GB NVMe, and an MX550

I have not a single idea how SODIMM + Soldered behave I should check online

[mild forge]

i changed the port i used

thats the second time today that that helped but ig ill have to start doing that every day now then

because everything else doesnt do sh for me

thats so weird, i used this headset for 2 years on my old pc, without a single problem in the ENTIRETY of using it, when i switched to this pc with winn 11 and amd everything started to glitch out

[dusk patio]

check the manual, but usually if you mix RAM it'll run at the slowest commonly supported speed

[mild forge]

also a pattern i recognized is, that i have to restart my steelseries software everytime i join a discord call, because if i dont it cancels out my entire system audio

absolutely nerve-wracking, but thank u guys so much for trying to help me!

ill keepp resetting in my mind though

[dusk patio]

that sounds like a SteelSeries issue to me

[mild forge]

yea think so too

[kindred halo]

Nothing in the manual about compatibility, but I'll try my luck with a stick of 3200/3600 later on

[haughty compass]

Was wanting to get speakers for a TV but I'm not entirely sure what is good and what isint. Are either of these good? (The sony one doesnt come with the power cables)

[nova creek]

I am waiting for a legion 5i laptop I ordered. Ordered without OS because I think it was the best thing to do? Have a windows USB flash drive install ready. Will I miss out on anything like built in software or something? Or can I just install everything anyway?

[sinful cobalt]

no

if anything u dont get the abomination called mcafee

[ivory mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/goku-saiyan-anime-dragon-ball-power-gif-16170895

boahhhh u are NOT goku boahhhh ✌️

[nova creek]

So right choice then, do I just do a normal install of windows too? Or a customised one?

[ivory mountain]

do a normal iso, custom OS's aren't worth the security risk, just use chris titus tech debloat after install

[nova creek]

Nice thanks 🙏

[ionic peak]

https://tenor.com/view/rule11no-league-of-legends-no-league-of-legends-league-of-legends-goku-goku-ssj-gif-25557398

[sinful cobalt]

normal

[nova creek]

What Lenovo software do I need. Should I just install all the software they have?

Or just vantage

[sinful cobalt]

dont install their software ez

these big corps have shitty softwares

[woven wigeon]

you will not miss out on any built in software the usb drive way of getting widnows on a pc is the same way of getting windows on a pc when its just preinstalled unless if you download modified versions of windows like tiny11 that will not include all of the bloatware cough i mean apps

[woven wigeon]

vantage is enough

its not even required for your lenovo experience

its optional but usefull

[kindred halo]

Oh my fucking god @left dove
45% NTSC 1200p display

Why is there always something waiting around the corner to fuck up an otherwise good laptop </3

[nova creek]

Appreciate the info. Will just install vantage then, mainly for changing the modes thing

[kindred halo]

Atp I might just get the cheaper Victus since atleast that has a better GPU and is cheaper

[woven wigeon]

nuh uh

does your victus have 24 gigs of ddr5 ram for 1099 euros

and a thirthenth gen i7+laptop 4060

[kindred halo]

It's 540 USD with 8GB that I can upgrade iirc

R5 7535HS 3050 6gb

For 30 USD less is an i7 13620H Lenovo V15 G4 with 16GB

[woven wigeon]

decent specs

[kindred halo]

For 657 is an i5-1335U, 8GB, MX550, 1200p IPS screen

Thinkpad E14

[kindred halo]

I am just looking to daily drive whichever I get but honestly leaning either V15 or ThinkPad

Since I really don't trust HP

[quasi junco]

HP = Hinge Problem

[woven wigeon]

uhm where did you get those enitials

[quasi junco]

https://tenor.com/view/salem-techsperts-gif-2188270028763501949

my sis has a 11 year old hp laptop

works like a charm for the daily user

[quasi junco]

https://tenor.com/view/rage-no-computer-gif-19229192

[woven wigeon]

no hinge problems

[grizzled frost]

as someone who had an HP laptop, this is the correct definition of the acronym

[woven wigeon]

i get it

but my parents both have hp laptops

no hingle problems yet

[kindred halo]

Does it persist on their Victus' line

[grizzled frost]

no idea

[arctic canopy]

What can I do if only my laptop has terrible wifi speeds? I'm only getting under 50 MBit/s when other devices can get the full 250MBit/s that our uplink supports

[grizzled frost]

i switched to macbook

[woven wigeon]

if your cool with it

[grizzled frost]

you can potentially upgrade the wifi module on it depending on the laptop

[quasi junco]

Attach Ethernet

[kindred halo]

Checked Google and there's lots of examples of hinge problems </3

[quasi junco]

[woven wigeon]

you could buy those wifi adapters with antennas and also prefferably with a usb extender and that would count as a massive wifi antena

[grizzled frost]

i highly doubt that would be an improvement

[kindred halo]

Whadya say,, 521 Dollar V15 G4 (I7-13620H/16GB),
or 660 Dollar ThinkPad E14 Gen 5 (i5-1335U, 8GB (16 with my current stick)/MX550)

[quasi junco]

Just buy an ROG Zephyrus G16 with RTX 5090 and Intel Ultra 9 285K

[arctic canopy]

It had no problems until a few weeks ago. It's 5 years old now, could that mean that my WiFi card is failing?

[quasi junco]

Sorry, RTX 5090 Mobile

[woven wigeon]

this guy mentioned that he did this when he was in millatary

[kindred halo]

The total noticeable difference for me is 40 dollars in down payment and 7 dollars extra a month

[unkempt blaze]

[azure topaz]

is it on auto settings or did you mess with it

[gloomy sleet]

[azure topaz]

only if you set it manually

[gloomy sleet]

by who???

[azure topaz]

he is right

[unkempt blaze]

Ancient gaming YouTuber, amd

[azure topaz]

its lower than that on ryzen 3k i think even

[carmine yew]

Did you do any fucking work and ask the googles first?

Because, I found it in one search and on the first fucking result:

[azure topaz]

but anyways, if youre on normal settings/havent messed with anything yes its fine

[woven wigeon]

[quasi junco]

Okay thanks

[gloomy sleet]

[carmine yew]

Eat my whole fuckin' ass, shit for brains

[woven wigeon]

actual anwser : google the thing for it

[quasi junco]

Was I meant to keep the goop on the chip thing

[unkempt blaze]

I've smarter ppl here

[ivory mountain]

i see a stupid bitch on my screen

[gloomy sleet]

are you replacing it?

[azure topaz]

[quasi junco]

You need to do that

[azure topaz]

not rreally

[gloomy sleet]

how old is it?

[quasi junco]

Okay

[grizzled frost]

it sinks the heat*

[carmine yew]

Discord is not a search engine. We are not your personal workers.

Do your own work.

[azure topaz]

on a laptop i would but on a desktop computer

there is worse cooling fates than reused thermal paste

[quasi junco]

Okay I fixed it

[ivory mountain]

lets normalize putting liquid metal on electrical components

[quasi junco]

:)

[gloomy sleet]

wdym you fixed it

is there thermal paste on that cpu?

[azure topaz]

i think we should either figure out a way to make liquid metal less error prone or swap from liquid metal all together

[carmine yew]

no thanks

[woven wigeon]

MORE LIKE THERMAL CRUST

[quasi junco]

There’s thermal glue which is basically the same right

[azure topaz]

we havent figured out that this guy is trollin yet? 😭

[ivory mountain]

boiiiiiii ✌️

[carmine yew]

If we can make a liquid metal that isn't going to destroy most PC components when it inevitably leaks?

Lets do the thing.

[woven wigeon]

isint thermal glue the thing that hardens under heat or softens under heat

[quasi junco]

IT WONT COME OFF

[woven wigeon]

glue=glue

[quasi junco]

Ohhh that makes sense now

[woven wigeon]

nothing you can do abt it other than isopropyl alchohol

[azure topaz]

im okay with it being conductive tbh just better application and gaskets

[grizzled frost]

no thermal glue is thermal paste that also functions as a glue, permanently bonding things together while still conducting heat

[quasi junco]

Imma just throw ts on the floor see what happens

[azure topaz]

sure dawg

[quasi junco]

Ohhhh that’s what happens

[ivory mountain]

make sure it snaps in half too

[azure topaz]

ok

[quasi junco]

Well I got good news and bad news

[gloomy sleet]

no?

[azure topaz]

dawg you are insufferable and not in a way that is entertaining for either of us

[ivory mountain]

we knew they were trolling when they posted ZTT pics

[quasi junco]

Good news is the heat sink is off

[azure topaz]

okay well the constant image spam, stupid questions, and further trolling should indicate that clearly now

[quasi junco]

Bad news is it doesn’t work anymore

[ivory mountain]

brother it is 1pm on a tuesday surely you have something better to do

[azure topaz]

dont put it near alumunum

[kindred halo]

Okay yeah just locking in the V15

[azure topaz]

we already know what it doesnt fuck with, we should be using that

[quasi junco]

I wanted to put a 5090 in it

[kindred halo]

I could probably use the extra 100 USD, and a V15 isn't all too bad in terms of quality

[azure topaz]

nickel, copper (somewhat), all fine

[carmine yew]

just costs more

if were in a laptop category where the coldplate/cooler is aluminum i dont think were getting liquid metal on it either lowkey

[unkempt blaze]

why are you so tense, it was a simple question 😭 is it because of pronous kinda mindset side effect? 😮‍💨

if that dosent work than try uninstalling them drivers using ddu (disply driver uninstaller)

Cpu: Intel i5 14400f
Ram: 32gb ddr4 3200mhz
Grafikkort: intel a750 8gb
Ssd: 500gb ssd
Os: Windows 11 original

What would you guys pay for this?

And would you prefer the 6600XT instead?

[unkempt blaze]

6600XT imo

[rigid fjord]

tbh thermal epoxy exists but it also means possibly destroying the cpu in attempts for removal

[twin steeple]

👍

[twin steeple]

What would you say is a reasonable price?

[rigid fjord]

thermal paste, thermal putty, thermal pads, and thermal epoxy exists, thermal glue doesn't exist, the closest is thermal epoxy or certain specific pastes that act the same as thermal epoxy, i also second tkitch about you going off and eating someones arse

[unkempt blaze]

Depends in your country tbh

[ornate tiger]

Hello

[unkempt blaze]

like I bought 6700XT, if I had invested 100$ more, I would had gotten 5060 8GB

[ivory mountain]

hii

[ornate tiger]

How goes things?

[rigid fjord]

and you would have bought a gpu that actually sucks against a 6700xt

[ivory mountain]

its alright hbu?

[unkempt blaze]

DLSS and their multi frame gen is pretty good

[ornate tiger]

I lowkey feel like punching a wall

[rigid fjord]

6600xt goes for 150-200 still second hand, where as a 6700xt goes for 200-250 instead, there's also the 7600 that goes for 250

[rigid fjord]

still loses to a 6700xt, it also loses to a 9060xt

[twin steeple]

Found a deal on fb 600$ for the pc I listed

[rigid fjord]

not really a deal for that build

the wifi card in my laptop is so shit that half the time i cant even connect to a network, any chance that a usb wifi adapter could be better

[ebon marlin]

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

[left trellis]

Probably gonna slap a 3080 in there LOL or a 5070 if i can find something decently priced

[rigid fjord]

nope, you'd be better off swapping out the wifi card in the laptop

[ionic peak]

for just 500

[left trellis]

I dont fw the warframe tho

[left trellis]

Too expensiveeeeeeee

Marketplace n ebay new gen card pricing aint great rn

[ionic peak]

ye they think it still cost so much

[rigid fjord]

cheaper in the long run performs better and has a screen

[left trellis]

If the kraken fails ill prob get a core vision or a frozen notte, warframe isnt quite my style

Frozen notte is sexy tho

[ionic peak]

what cpu?

[left trellis]

Gonna be using a 13700k once this motherboard arrives

[rigid fjord]

that's literally easy to air cool even under OC

[left trellis]

Just for aesthetics lol

[ivory mountain]

Kraken is so ass doesnt it still use asetek

[left trellis]

It duz afaik

Couldnt get a galahad v1 to work idrk what to do 😭

[rigid fjord]

yes, but nzxt likes to fuck them up by trying to make them look pretty

[left trellis]

It was after march 2022 i think that was when they were faulty

[ivory mountain]

$200+ for asetek

[left trellis]

used twin :D under $60

[ivory mountain]

Boiii ts so tuff twin

[left trellis]

Ty twin 🥹

[rigid fjord]

still not worth touching

[craggy cove]

if youre gonna flip poop, make sure you actually have an intake fan

[left trellis]

If it doesnt work out or temps arent good enough i have other coolers

[plush wren]

all 9 of my fans are exhaust

[craggy cove]

no air allowed in my case ❌

[rigid fjord]

tbh, those top fans should be set as exhaust not intake

[plush wren]

yes

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1138164798652166264/1402959311994486875/SPOILER_me-when-the-doctor-at-the-gen-hospital-asks-if-ive-been-v0-nocbeoiu8awe1.gif

[left trellis]

Someone should get reverse n forward fans snd have all the brackets showing

[ivory mountain]

Thermalright aio is like $70

[craggy cove]

id rather put those 2 as intake on the side

wait i cant mount fans there?

tf is that case

[ionic peak]

[rigid fjord]

it would be only be through the bottom for the intake

[left trellis]

Have the frozen notte rn :❤️

Wait im lying

[craggy cove]

i want to buy this thicc xfx rx 5700 xt for 75€ (broken left fan, 5€ replacement from aliexpress)

but i have no idea what to do with it

[left trellis]

Frozen prism

[craggy cove]

it just looks cool (and thicc)

[craggy cove]

and uhh how does the cpu get cooling

mythical intakes vs just choking the front intake

[random gyro]

Sup

[rigid fjord]

from the bottom primarily, the case isn't greatly designed for proper airflow

<@&750150305383186585> shitpost/lowquality meme

[clear oasis]

did you cut into an ongoing conversation or respect what other people were doing here before you barged in?

[ivory mountain]

I had three of them but they were v1 so they all died

What u post

[clear oasis]

Chime into the conversation and once its done, ask away

[meager isle]

Ill be the better one

[random junco]

what about me

[meager isle]

[vast thorn]

rx 9060 xt 16gb
or rx 7700 xt

[random junco]

9060xt

[balmy hull]

what fan setup should i use inside the nzxt h5 flow 2024

[vast thorn]

hmm ok

[random junco]

as much fans as you can 💔

[balmy hull]

same gpu but 9060 is slightly faster and newer so unless 7700 is WAY cheaper get the 9060

[balmy hull]

no as in intake exhaust whatever the fuck

[random junco]

what sort of question is this

[vast thorn]

7700xt is only like 30-40$ cheaper

[balmy hull]

i’d say get 9060 xt

[vast thorn]

[random junco]

we are not introducing skype to discord 💔

been a while since i used it tbh

[jaunty apex]

💥 📤

[vast thorn]

why not

[jaunty apex]

Last time I used Skype is when I moved to discord

[vast thorn]

lol

[ivory mountain]

aint skype discontinued

[random junco]

yeah thats the main reason

[clear oasis]

no

Skype is still used in the buisness sector

[random junco]

partially#

just trying to promote teams

[random gyro]

sup

[gilded harness]

Could i possibly add a walmart on the right\

[fringe prairie]

yes

[balmy hull]

what’s better gigabyte b650 eagle ax or b650 gaming x ax v2

[shrewd lance]

guyz i bought a macbook pro 14inch 16gb ram and 512gb storage for 688 usd

apparently i basically stole that laptop

[rigid fjord]

same performance, just the 9060xt comes with 4gb more vram

[vast thorn]

hmm ok
9060 xt it is then

[rigid fjord]

wise choice

[hexed tapir]

And native fsr4 support

[balmy hull]

?

[gilded harness]

idk man

[balmy hull]

they the same price

[clear pebble]

what does processor core error mean in event logs, mobo messed up or cpu? Ive had problems with this ryzen 5800xt but the ryzen 5 3600 i used to have was fine. No crashes in vr

[gilded harness]

same but different motherboard

[rigid fjord]

the same, just go with whichever is cheaper

[balmy hull]

b650 eagle ax slightly cheaper

but are they ACTUALLY the same

[gilded harness]

then go for it maybe

or jjust get whatever you like (?)

[rigid fjord]

you running latest bios right?

[clear pebble]

yeah

[random junco]

you wont notice a performance difference from these motherboards lol. just get whatever you think looks better

[clear pebble]

did chipsets and every update, let amd adrenaline take over too

[random junco]

even then, i'd get the cheaper one because motherboard aesthetics don't compliment the build as much unless theyre of a different colour

[rigid fjord]

weird error then tbh

[rigid fjord]

well most don't, and the ones that do, you're paying double/triple the price instead

[clear pebble]

I get in the game, all seems fine, then after a few sec, it crashes and reboots the whole pc, but playing vrc in desktop is fine.

[rigid fjord]

case in point, asus proart mobo's and nzxt's mobo's (actually asrock boards with nzxt stamped on it)

[neon kiln]

This is an M.2 slot right ?

[gilded harness]

right cuz i couldnt even see the rog logo on the motherboard even tho i paid for it

the big ass cooler would just block everything

[rigid fjord]

ngff, so yes but also no

[random junco]

yes with a "but"

e/a+e key slot

[rigid fjord]

it's essentially msata pinout but doing pcie

[random junco]

i smell salmon but i dont know if its actually salmon or the sound of white noise from spotify just messing up my brain

[neon kiln]

That card wouldn't go in a normal pcie slot then would it ?

[random junco]

sounds like the sea

[random junco]

nope

[sweet zephyr]

ive had my macintosh se in the corner of my room for months and still havent figured out what to do with it

and i still havent ordered the new caps for it

[random junco]

home server pleaeaeaeasee

[rigid fjord]

fuck no, that wifi card needs an adpater card to go form it's keying to pcie slot

[sweet zephyr]

thats even worse than any of my plans

[random junco]

how come

this smell is getting to my head, im going to do some investigating

[rigid fjord]

me thinks it be wise to make a #1027757333117415424 post tbh

[sweet zephyr]

i was thinking of either scrubbing out all the rust and acid from the board and the metal frame and replacing the caps

replacing the crt with a lcd and build a itx pc inside of it

[random junco]

yes and then home server

[sweet zephyr]

build a custom board and use it as a monitor

[random junco]

what mac

[sweet zephyr]

or do nothing ig

[sweet zephyr]

macintosh se

[random junco]

oh.

[sweet zephyr]

fdhd

[random junco]

retire that shit let it sleep

[sweet zephyr]

if i built a pc inside of it id just order a lcd from ali express and itx parts from ebay

[sweet zephyr]

no

[random junco]

waste of time and effort

i mean it seems like a cool project ig

[sweet zephyr]

if i did make the custom board and use it as a monitor watching old shows would be nice

[random junco]

but if its got rust and acid i would not prioritize that over my normal hobbies

[sweet zephyr]

one of the monitors im using is already a crt but itd be cool

[sweet zephyr]

i mean it wouldnt be that hard

i could also replace the metal frame with a 3d printed one

and id just have to give all the parts a nice bath and scrub them with a brush

[daring crystal]

Just switched my default browser to Atlas

[clear pebble]

perhaps, figured I try tho

[sweet zephyr]

or i can just throw everything inside of it out except the crt and make a custom board for it

[random junco]

right

[daring crystal]

?

[random junco]

isnt that the chatgpt browser

[daring crystal]

Yes

[random junco]

how you finding it

[daring crystal]

Great

Still miss my humane pin 🙁

Being able to transfer my Chrome stuff over worked seamlessly

[random junco]

thats with most browser actually

[random junco]

hmm, doesnt look that different than others

[daring crystal]

Yes but I use chatgpt for everything so the ecosystem is amazing

Gemini kinda mid on chrome

[random junco]

aw its macos only

[daring crystal]

Yeah I am a huge macos fan

[fringe prairie]

is this just comet by openAI?

[daring crystal]

Yes

And I have been waiting for this for so long

Just uninstalled chrome

[pale flint]

crazy

use edge

[abstract wigeon]

i have the gaming x ax v2 and its never failed me, just get whatevers cheapest tbh

[fringe prairie]

i'd rather safari on mac

[pale flint]

i love edging

[fringe prairie]

gaming x ax has 2.5gbe lan if that matters to you

otherwise both work

if you're in usa i'd consider aorus elite for $161 or msi pro b650-a for $149

[rich oracle]

I am trying to fix a JMAKER JGAURORA A5S 3d printer

[jaunty apex]

Now I'm looking for that one Google Gemini video

The one that shows from search to result pipeline

[random junco]

jgaurora ass 3d printer

[steel umbra]

actually, this is wrong

the curve is far more linear from studies

[ionic robin]

gpu driver reinstall later and the problem persists, I believe it's windows fucking it up somehow

[steel umbra]

looks more like this

[ionic robin]

would argue the confidence line is a logarithm and the knowledge line is an exponential function but i guess this works too

[odd marsh]

I think you're right here bud

[ionic robin]

https://tenor.com/view/speak-gif-9578947274896178319

[steel umbra]

it’s hard to apply the i guess what you can call the original dunning kruger effect to a large amount of people

[ionic robin]

hold on tf is that

lemme google it

[ionic robin]

it's hard to apply ANYTHING to a large amount of people

except a few things

[rich oracle]

I am fixing it for my robotics team

[steel umbra]

the linear one is more accurate for averages and large amount of testing subjects

[ionic robin]

fair

but mine is more accurate for specifics

[steel umbra]

well, you can’t quite know if they do have what people call the dunning kruger effect, you’d have to pay close attention to their behaviour as the person grows up

[steel umbra]

apparently, this is the original, not the curvy one

dunning kruger

the curvey one is just straight up wrong representation

and applies to a much smaller group of people

i guess the linear one isn’t widely used because it looks kinda uninteresting to ppl

[ivory mountain]

holy my old pc was so pretty

[steel umbra]

looookkssss soooo ugleeee

[ivory mountain]

haterrr

[rose stream]

Mmmmmmmmmm it looks okay.

[ivory mountain]

i just loved how vibrant the arctic fans were

[queen trout]

Does anyone have this exact cooler in there pc how does it look

[random junco]

i built this when i was 12 - i was so proud of this for no reason i guess

[ivory mountain]

holy i was 12 when i made this vid im 17 now ☠️

[ivory mountain]

some minecraft shit

[steel umbra]

[steel umbra]

i already stole borrowed that

[random junco]

i honestly like the evolv x2 over this

[steel umbra]

yes, they’re changing the ui every two months or less

[rose stream]

Depends. What do you intend to do?

i like the current one

[steel umbra]

solve bot issue ❌

[queen trout]

[random junco]

rx 6600

[latent gull]

just gimme a northXL or a terra

[rose stream]

I have a 7900XT paired with mine and have yet to see a bottleneck.
So it really depends on what you do with it.

[steel umbra]

i bet a chewed bubblegum it’ll change in a month

[queen trout]

I have a gtx 1660ti rn I wouldn’t be getting a noticeable difference

[distant frigate]

Technology behind it is insane

[random junco]

you have a 7900xt with a 3600?

[rose stream]

Yes.

[random gyro]

Get a Rtx 5090ti

[queen trout]

1440p and 4K no bottleneck

[random junco]

lies

[fringe prairie]

so overused tbh

[rose stream]

Iiii don't play at 4k though.

[latent gull]

thats because theyre good

[rose stream]

Mostly just resolutions that stay close to around 1440p.

[queen trout]

And even in 1080p you may lose FPS but its okay if your not worried about that

[rose stream]

Or play games at 1080p and rescale them to 1440p for fullscreen.

[queen trout]

Im thinking about either a rtx 3060ti or a 2080ti

[fringe prairie]

well yeah, but overused

the evolv actually looks different which is nice

for sff i guess dan a4 or that lampshade looking fractal case

[random junco]

what are you talking about..

[queen trout]

Bottleneck

[left dove]

wat

[random junco]

excuse me

[random gyro]

What about 5090ti

[ivory mountain]

3060ti and 2080ti arent in the same realm lmao

[random junco]

if it existed we could talk about it

If anyone can help me find them in stock I would really appreciate it

[queen trout]

They actually are 2080ti just had more vram

[rose stream]

I'd say neither of those are good enough for a percievable difference in the long term and I especially would not stick to RTX Turing gpus because of their quirks.

[random gyro]

I dropped nvidia for AMD

[random junco]

if youre sending the same message over and over again maybe its a sign to send it somewhere else 💔

[ivory mountain]

2080ti is much faster all around, even better than a 3070

[rose stream]

Saying this as someone who started off with a 2070 Super.

It was fine till it wasn't.

[queen trout]

I started of with rx 580

[left dove]

what quirks, what

[random junco]

having a preference doesnt mean you cut off all contact with whats happening from other people

is there a 4090 ti?

[queen trout]

Nope

[random junco]

bro.

[ivory mountain]

i did that after my 3060ti died but i might go back to nvidia at some point

[random junco]

setoe are you a social experiment

[random gyro]

What

[rose stream]

If anything, I'd say a used 4060 Ti. Better yet, jump to either a 5060, a B580, or a 9060XT and you should be fine for a while.

I have a 9060XT now

[abstract wigeon]

does noctua make the best 40mm fans? or any alternative for quietness

[queen trout]

LOL b580

[random junco]

whats wrong with a b580.

[queen trout]

Needs a strong cpu

[random gyro]

What about 9060XT 16gb

[rose stream]

They are good now, especially with recent driver updates.

[rose stream]

Not anymore.

[left dove]

stop talking pls

[random junco]

what !?

[random gyro]

He means with muscle

[random junco]

bro refresh your news pages

[random gyro]

He has them from 2015

[rose stream]

They solved the driver overhead and are continuing to push that further in recent updates.

[queen trout]

Do I look like I read battlemage card news

[random gyro]

Your pfp look like you steal or something

[rose stream]

Read general gpu news then. It shows up that way often. Lol.

[random junco]

you dont have to read battlemage stuff to know about anything related to this

why base your own pc decisioned on whats overused by others and not just based on whats good or what you like?

i use urban vpn. its slow on some websites but has access to a lot of countries and its free

[queen trout]

Proton I guess

[random junco]

i only use it when its time to go dark
tor + vpn + incognito

[white pawn]

How do I check whether or not my fans are blowing air the right way

[ivory mountain]

ew

[queen trout]

It’s free

[ivory mountain]

use ur hand

[random junco]

put your hand infront of it'

[rose stream]

Check your system manually.

[white pawn]

Which way is the right way

[random junco]

w h a t

[ivory mountain]

proton isnt secure at all especially the free one

[queen trout]

Eh

[rose stream]

I didn't say manhandle it at least.

[craggy cove]

you can try pbo undervolting tho, you can get nice performance and thermal gains

[steel umbra]

there are other free vpns

[rose stream]

1.1.1.1 is one. Basically Cloudflares vpn.

[steel umbra]

proton is ok

[left dove]

thats a dns

dns =/= vpn

[rose stream]

Hey, it wasn't my idea to name that thing that.

[random junco]

that is not a vpn 😭

[steel umbra]

idk abt cloudflare

[rose stream]

... Also, I just realized that I forgot the proper name.

They actually call it WARP... In all caps for whatever reason.

Kinda like ZEZTZ being all caps, even nobody uses them for it.

[white pawn]

Wait so it wasn't inherently a bad temp

[azure topaz]

normal

[azure topaz]

wow you figured it out thanks

[white pawn]

So what would hypothetically be a bad temp? 100C?

[azure topaz]

throttling.

bad temp=pc shut itself off

95c but youre at 5.2ghz in a stress test or something is not throttling or something to be worried about

95c but youre at 3.2ghz in a stress test is throttling and to be worried about

[white pawn]

shouldve gotten an aio instead

[azure topaz]

youre fine bro what

[white pawn]

no I wasn't gaming at all

[azure topaz]

so?

let me explain how the chips work for you

[white pawn]

I mean I wasn't putting heavy load on it

[azure topaz]

the chips will boost ridicolously high to get tasks done quickly, they boost to their 95c temp target and then calm down or stay there cause the task isnt done

theres nothing wrong with it being at 95c in any instance as long as its hitting expected performance

[wheat torrent]

I dont have an AIO and my 9 7900 reaches only 70 celsius under heavy load

[azure topaz]

do you have any pbo tuning on or done

[white pawn]

no

[azure topaz]

well its also a non x chip so inherently lower pl

[white pawn]

doesn't undervolting it make it worse tho

[azure topaz]

does reducing the voltage

[left dove]

dude i cant

Gomen no

[azure topaz]

what does more volts do to your cpu

im like asking so i can explain this

[rose stream]

Gomen yes

[white pawn]

send more electricity

[exotic valley]

Just bought a $6 magnetic switches keyboard and it’s gonna arrive today, do you guys think it’s gonna improve my game performance?

[azure topaz]

okay kinda, good enough

[left dove]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-hitting-head-on-desk-cat-insane-cat-gif-24842238

[azure topaz]

more electricity means more heat yes?

[exotic valley]

Recently I’m kinda struggling in silver matches in valorant

[white pawn]

yes

[azure topaz]

now, if more means more heat, how does reducing the amount of electricity also mean more heat

[exotic valley]

Am I gonna finally make a breakthrough in my skills with a magnetic switches keyboard?

[left dove]

no fuck off

[rose stream]

Were you good enough to begin with or is this going along the lines of "this will make me better at gaming" in thought process?

[azure topaz]

see what im saying

[white pawn]

because the cpu is getting less stress idk

[stark kiln]

My wifi is so ass

[azure topaz]

no no power is power

[stark kiln]

I get like 5 mbps and 1k ping in cs2

[azure topaz]

could be your internet adaptor for the pc

[azure topaz]

volts times amps equals watts

[stark kiln]

It was present with all devices

Laptop PC tv and phone even

[azure topaz]

your cpu is only allowed to hit 95c

[exotic valley]

Yeh I wonder if it’s gonna make me better at gaming cuz currently silver 1 is already my upper limit now with regular mechanical keyboard

[azure topaz]

less volts but an equal increase in clock is the same amount of power

so thats how it also ends up making your pc faster

[odd fiber]

Can a windows 10 esu transfer to a new pc?

[azure topaz]

by drawing less power you get more temperature headroom and your pc clocks higher

but past a point, your cpu hits a limit where it wont allow itself to clock any higher

[left dove]

just update to windows 11, win10 is dead for a reason

[azure topaz]

and this is where undervolting helps with temperatures

[odd fiber]

NO

[white pawn]

oh so underclocking and undervolting isn't the same thing

[azure topaz]

because its not gainiing anymore frequency but the voltage is going down

[white pawn]

got it

[gloomy sleet]

what reason do you have for not

[azure topaz]

bing bing bing

[odd fiber]

Windows 11 sucks

[rose stream]

[azure topaz]

undervolting should never make anything slower at least if you want to do it right, as a general rule of thumb

[exotic valley]

I suggest keeping voltage low as it exponentially generates more heat at a higher voltage. However amps scale linearly with frequency, and only generates linearly more heat.

[gloomy sleet]

again any particular reason?

[azure topaz]

if youre undervolting a GPU or anything your performance target should be stock at whatever voltage

then suffer i guess

revel in the fact that you're just like the dorks that stayed on windows 7 years into windows 10 being released

[exotic valley]

Which means, if you wanna avoid generating exponentially more heat, keep your voltage low

[white pawn]

oh great

[odd fiber]

Data collection. The fact that Microsoft takes screenshots of your pc like every few seconds or whatever is ridiculous

Among other things

[left dove]

LMAO

[gloomy sleet]

source?

[left dove]

someone's been reading schizo posts without looking into clarifications

[left dove]

thats called windows recall, which you can turn off, and is only a thing in laptops with a cpu equipped with an NPU, which is not many models

[exotic valley]

Personally I suggest a voltage under 1.45v if you can keep it under a reasonable temp

[gleaming rose]

better safe than sorry, at least the anti Microsoft is the right idea

[exotic valley]

Personally myself I wouldn’t care

[gleaming rose]

use Linux

[exotic valley]

I don’t mind the telemetry from windows

[left dove]

also your worries of "data collection" are fuckin' dumb, everything collects data on you, wherever you go on the internet

[exotic valley]

My government is already collecting my data so why not from Microsoft as well, at least they are not gonna charge me or fine me

[left dove]

Every time you visit a site, every time you interact with a webpage element, it's all tracked telemetry

[odd fiber]

Maybe at some point, but for what I want to do atm Linux would inconvenience me

[exotic valley]

And I’m not really worried about leaking my Netflix watch history

[gleaming rose]

what do you want to do

I may be able to help

[odd fiber]

I plan on modding skyrim, which I know you can technically do, but it's not ideal.

[gleaming rose]

it'll work fine

[odd fiber]

Specifically the Skyblivion mod

[gleaming rose]

what do you use to manage the mods

[odd fiber]

Mod organizer

[exotic valley]

For me personally I think Linux desktop is powerful (with a few caveats such as your favorite apps might not be supported natively), just not convenient

[gleaming rose]

yes it will work

[exotic valley]

Just not elegantly

[odd fiber]

The mod creators on their discord say they can't guarantee it will work

[exotic valley]

Developers don’t really put all their budgets into optimizing games for linux

They do it for windows 11

Personally I play games like Overwatch 2 and valorant, if you are like me, avoid Linux desktop at all cost

Those games, similar to battlefield 6, is not gonna work on linux regardless how smart or capable you are

[gloomy sleet]

richard burns rally still doesn’t work on linux

[plush wren]

• anticheats

[odd fiber]

Well if I can't take advantage of the free esu then I may have to bite the bullet and update to windows 11

[exotic valley]

Simply doesn’t work, no fix or whatsoever

[gloomy sleet]

the modern rsf version anyway you can still play the original 2004 one

[odd fiber]

Until maybe valve makes a dedicated steam os for pc

[exotic valley]

SteamOS is good, however it’s not gonna solve any anticheat incompatibilities

Battlefield 6 is not gonna work anyways

Back in the days when I daily drove gentoo linux, there are problems with steaming platforms as well (not sure if any smart ones found the solution yet)

Netflix doesn’t work well. It only natively offers 720p resolution

With a bit hacky solution and plugins, you can get at maximum 1080p resolution

[tiny idol]

can somebody help me i tried to update my stream deck software and it failed and then it just deleted itself from my pc

[odd fiber]

Ok I thought my windows 10 key transfered to my new pc due to logging into my Microsoft account but that's not the case

[exotic valley]

I wasn’t able to get 4K regardless what I do, it was due to some DRM problems

[exotic valley]

Lolll just upgrade to windows 11 and paste a script then your system will be authenticated under just a few seconds

There are bunch of good scripts to use on github for authenticating your windows 11

With lots of stars as well

[odd fiber]

Would upgrading to windows 11 delete any files on my pc

[exotic valley]

No

[odd fiber]

Ok

[exotic valley]

It keeps all of your files

Similar as upgrading your iPhone

At least I didn’t lose any data from my PC upgrading to windows 11

[gleaming rose]

overwatch 2 actually works great

better than windows

[left dove]

yall should be doing clean installs with proper data backups

[exotic valley]

Until it didn’t apparently this year

[gleaming rose]

wtf

[exotic valley]

Blizzard actively made it so it stopped working

At least no solutions I’m aware of till October

[left dove]

Overwatch has been mid ever since they nerfed tracer's butt tbh

[exotic valley]

I was able to get Overwatch 2 working with bottles till blizzard shuts the method off completely. Wine, bottles or any wine with skins stopped working altogether for overwatxh 2

[random gyro]

i haven't played overwatch in years

[wheat torrent]

[left dove]

[gleaming rose]

[wheat torrent]

[random gyro]

i hate the ads for marvel rivals, basically p*rn at that point

[left dove]

I just remember from the first overwatch everyone getting pissed off because the devs shrank tracer's butt

[random gyro]

nope

[wheat torrent]

???

[left dove]

(she was fine before tbh)

[wheat torrent]

who even cares about this character

[random gyro]

idc about any of them

[ivory mountain]

sigh

[wheat torrent]

[wheat torrent]

anyways, apprently nothing changed and people that complained was people that didnt even play the game but watched certain content

[random gyro]

you use brave too, W

[left dove]

yeah I just went and fact-checked myself, it was a pose that got removed but people thought it was butt size

[odd fiber]

Ok wouldn't I need use a windows 11 bootloader

[random gyro]

thats my taskbar

[random junco]

ewwww 😦😦

[left dove]

if you install windows 11 it just works, you don't need a bootloader..

[latent gull]

iirc it was just "why is the butt so prominent on a character that doesnt need it, when there already widowmaker"

[ivory mountain]

yes

[random gyro]

how

[random gyro]

i only use it for yt

[random gyro]

why the bottom right icons not in the folder

[wheat torrent]

I need to access them

[random junco]

quick access

[left dove]

yall whining about several open apps are silly

[random gyro]

so do i but it looks cleaner

[latent gull]

ea and ghub :(

[ocean axle]

start, eww, eww, ok, ok, eww, eww, ok, sure i guess, eww, eww, eww, ok, old launcher better, is that pinned snipping tool? idfk, idfk, really notepad?

[random gyro]

are you using all of them at the same time?

[left dove]

I switch between them frequently, yes

[random junco]

no theyre open for decoration..

[latent gull]

pinned snipping tool is so useful

[wheat torrent]

right so I have to waste time opening the menu every time on a daily

[left dove]

i have logitech devices and I play the sims like wtf do you want??

[ocean axle]

on win11 printscreen is snipping tool

[odd fiber]

Ok, but it doesn't give me an option to upgrade to windows 11

[random gyro]

thats like .1 second

[left dove]

because you're supposed to install it fresh, not upgrade

[random gyro]
