[brave brook]

why not use HDMI CEC ?

[kindred halo]

Good thing I don't play anything made this year

[mint umbra]

What does that mean

Cec?

[brave brook]

using TV remote to control the nvidia shield

also aren't those relatively cheap ? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008105236450.html

[mint umbra]

Cuz the nvida remote is better

The Samsung one sucks

[brave brook]

but the point is that you can use it while you get a replacement

[mint umbra]

I don't trust AliExpress

Rather use amazon

I've gotten scammed a few times on ali

[brave brook]

Amazon https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-Motion-Activated-Backlit-Buttons-Customizable/dp/B08GNHJB6X/

[mint umbra]

It's like 50 dollars where I live

Damn that expensive for a remote

[serene pumice]

Just use your phone then?
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/shield/support/shield-tv-pro/remote-app/

[mint umbra]

I get connection error when trying to connect via phone

Unlucky I guess lol

[serene pumice]

surely fixable

installed all the hotfixes & so on?
latest app versions?

reinstalled the app?

pulled power plug for 10 minutes to your Shield?

[mint umbra]

Wonder if I would just be better off using my older chrome cast instead

[serene pumice]

Me personally, ThinkPad + HDMI Cable

[mint umbra]

Too scuffed for my tastes

[serene pumice]

But I did use my PS4 with SSD, back when I used Netflix

[mint umbra]

I use streamio

[pale flint]

i have 1996 fiat punto 😍

[mint umbra]

Untill it gets taken down

[serene pumice]

Cool! Main reason I switched to only using now deleted fmovies, was everything in 1 service, even though I was still paying for Netflix

[mint umbra]

Feel like it's gunna get shut down soon

Since so many ppl know about it now

[serene pumice]

Quit my Netflix service when they first announced the "No sharing accounts/must have same IP for the household" for countries that "didn't matter" like south America

[mint umbra]

And they have been more aggressive with shitting down piracy stuff in recent years

[serene pumice]

I knew it would come here eventually, put down my foot/wallet at once.

[mint umbra]

Never really used Netflix

[serene pumice]

Yeah, think someone mentioned fmovies out loud in congress or the likes

[mint umbra]

Only had it for like a couple months

[serene pumice]

did not take long until the country which hosted servers raided it

[mint umbra]

Yeah so I'm thinking streamio don't got much time left

[craggy cove]

damn so thats why its gone

there are bootlegs of it but they kinda suck now

[latent pasture]

i know places but im not telling lmao

[tawny knoll]

Im hearing voices telling me to remove my GPU because it's a fire hazard

but its not a 12vhpwr card

[peak swan]

Hmmmmmm

[elder quarry]

flopy?

[peak swan]

Wasn't that on xp?

[prime trench]

Does a 2m vs a 3m display port cable actually make much of a difference?

[hollow sorrel]

My monitor has a stuck pixel, what can I do about it

It's one sigle pixel that's stuck on green

[fallow yacht]

bruh https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat?test-id=fa8ceadc-b1a1-4c1b-bc37-35e17cda9e1c

ts ain't working]

[ionic peak]

Is it normal that i hear my HD trogh the entire case sounding like a CD?

[craggy cove]

maybe vibrating too much

i genuinely despise ai like what are these prices

[ionic peak]

and super dusty

[prime trench]

What I did once was press firmly on the screen for like 5 seconds and it went away lol

Obviously don’t press too hard

[hollow sorrel]

Still there

[prime trench]

Worth a shot

[ionic peak]

this is 200 for me if i look at amazon

[craggy cove]

idk what the dust would do here

[wet ember]

WTF is going on with RAM prices?

[craggy cove]

ai

[grizzled frost]

lots of datacenter demand

[ionic peak]

its like 2 mm thicc

[wet ember]

$240 for a decent pair of DDR5 ???

[craggy cove]

as if it didnt make enough things worse

[wet ember]

Bruh moment

[craggy cove]

2mm dust blanket, dampening possibly

keep it

[grizzled frost]

2mm of dust is crazy

[wet ember]

I didn't wanna pay $240 for DDR5 so I bought CL36 Crucial 6000 MHz instead

[ionic peak]

ye and it has just like over 7800hours of work time

[wet ember]

$140 instead of $240

[wet ember]

AI sucks

[craggy cove]

the ram i bought in august and the price now

[ionic peak]

with rgb?

[craggy cove]

yea

[wet ember]

The RAM I wanted vs the RAM I bought

[craggy cove]

idk why it shows non rgb in the picture

[ionic peak]

what happend?

[craggy cove]

wdym

the price increase? ai

[ionic peak]

Dam these ais

[wet ember]

What good will AI do for society

[ionic peak]

homework and stupid photos

[craggy cove]

kids stupider and fooling boomers on facebook

[wet ember]

Imagine the whole next generation of doctors and lawyers who used AI to do their homework and exams

[craggy cove]

this is the future and we will hedge our entire economy on this

and its completely unprofitable for the ai companies too!

[wet ember]

Take me back to 2016 dude

Back when the GTX 10 series released

Back when people were using 2.5" SATA SSDs and when GPUs were affordable

Actually I'm glad we moved to m.2, fewer cables to manage

[craggy cove]

ehh we had gpu shortages then too lol

and ssd storage was much more expensive

120gb boot ssd and 1tb hdd

[wet ember]

Yeah

[ionic peak]

https://tenor.com/view/omori-i-wish-i-could-turn-back-time-gif-12445909453452299948

[wet ember]

I like HDD sounds

[ionic peak]

What if we hadend go to AI stuff?

[craggy cove]

thats one way to spell it

its genuinely just bullshit in every possible way

openai just scraping the entire internet cause they were a "non profit"

and now they have an ipo coming

amd's gpu division has the decision making of their 2012 cpu division

(they were really stupid)

yeah that

they literally actively sell these gpus

[elder quarry]

I guess they want people to use Linux

[craggy cove]

now anyone suggesting a 9070 xt will be met by "yeah good luck with driver updates"

not sure why id be a fan of a certain company

its a duopoly, and when one side is eating rocks its basically a monopoly

[elder quarry]

no

[craggy cove]

put like 15x asterisks

locking out rebar for no reason on 20 series, garbage physx on 50 series

and nvidia has their driver problems too

yeah but amd wasnt promoting physx werent they

ray tracing is the next physx imo

not really, and the support is so locked

wait dlaa?

[sick reef]

bullshit to hear

amds marketing idea 🥀

[craggy cove]

so much for fine wine

more like spoiled milk

im on a 2060 super personally

best value in the 100€ price bracket

and i just play cs2 and tf2 so it doesnt really matter

[sick reef]

imagine if China made RTX 2050 laptop to desktop PCB GPU

580 and 590 is barely noticeable

[craggy cove]

i was surprised at how shit it truly is, i bought a pc with one and the 3dmark was noticeably worse than a 1660 super

[coral steeple]

yo how risky is it to update bios? I have an msi motherboard and therefor i would use the mflash button in bios

[craggy cove]

unless your power went out this week then nothing will happen (probably)

[sick reef]

only if its not gme

[coral steeple]

I have a ups and a sandisk usb drive that i used like twice so i should be fine?

Alr thanks

[sick reef]

590 gme is literally renamed rx 580

to the chinese market

[craggy cove]

gre is great rabbit edition.. what is gme then

[sick reef]

golden mouse edition

[craggy cove]

was it the year of the mouse

thats brutal

[sick reef]

yes 2020 was year of rat/mouse

[craggy cove]

id start considering aliexpress 5700xts at that point

since its europe cant you buy from ebay?

[sick reef]

is 26" 1200p (16:10) like 27" 1080p?

[craggy cove]

well yeah but dont they ship there

you can still buy stuff to the uk from the eu

[sick reef]

does olx still operate?

[craggy cove]

damn

[fleet kite]

[kindred halo]

What's your country
I am sending an influx of used cards at cheap prices

[grizzled frost]

you gonna go to ukraine?

[kindred halo]

Oh Ukraine
Just head over to the zone and steal a 1080 Ti

[sick reef]

same with russia

[grizzled frost]

i mean that's their own damn fault

[sick reef]

eachother is fucked up

[craggy cove]

i mean western ukraine youd be fine right?

[grizzled frost]

not really

[kindred halo]

I fought anomalies with an AK74 I can fight off Russians

[grizzled frost]

lower chance of getting missiled randomly, not great economy regardless though

[sick reef]

oh i still have r9 nano on my primary pc

[sick reef]

freaking itx powerhorse from 2015

[sick reef]

the vram is crazy (hbm)

[craggy cove]

sign to maybe not get a 5090 build

most 5090 builds ive seen end up as youtube machines anyway

[sick reef]

atleast the sapphire pulse and xfx has ITX sized PCB for RX Vega 56.

[craggy cove]

high expectations maybe

then again i mostly play 1440x1080 cs2

[sick reef]

i dont think i can put reference heatsink or r9 nano heatsink to the sapphire pulse or xfx double edition rx vega 56

for "RX Vega Nano"

it's rare af

[sick reef]

rarer than most vega 56's

i have cooler master elite 371 but don't have fans installed.

free ATX that i found 2 years ago from dumpster

and i did modding power and restart buttons, usb front panels.

this case has 5 fans (4 fans if atx psu is longer than average atx psu sizes)

[formal elbow]

How are the controllers on the Vive Pro? I found a whole set (sensors, headset, controllers) for 120$ and it's tempting

[ebon marlin]

You should be able to get a Quest 2 for same price it's much better

[fleet kite]

guys is i9-13900hx that bad it overheats to 99 on basic tasks \

[craggy cove]

dont blame the cpu blame the cooling design

but basic tasks? maybe repaste

[ebon marlin]

I mean, you do gotta blame Intel for their past mobile cpus being shite

[runic rover]

Hellooo everyone

Anybody ever been stuck in a bios loop

[ebon marlin]

Do a cmos reset

[runic rover]

Like taking it out for a little

Didn't work

Twice

[ebon marlin]

[runic rover]

I'm kinda fried here

[fleet kite]

any solution i use acer predator helios 16 it has i9-13900hx and 4070

i can bake a cake with that much heat

[cold skiff]

It’s a laptop. If you can’t cook bacon within 30seconds on it during high load it isn’t working properly

[fleet kite]

it has liquid metal can i try using like thermal paste or its not worth opening the fans its bee 2 years

[cold skiff]

It has Liquid Metal? My god that must mean it has to run at 30c all core load!

You’ve got components that will get very hot in a tiny space surrounded probably by a plastic shell with very little in the way of ventilation in or out. It’s going to be hot.

If you want “good” temps - get a desktop

[fleet kite]

2.5 g's spent

[fleet kite]

this model has a history of running at 90c idle situations

[ebon marlin]

It has alot of power packed in a very small space it's normal

[cold skiff]

And? Means fuck all with how much money you spent

[fleet kite]

nah

i cant

i have to use it i spent my entire budget

[cold skiff]

If you get a gaming laptop and expect good temps, you’re pretty dumb.

[ebon marlin]

You cant cool that much power in such a small space without sacrificing portability of the laptop

[cold skiff]

We have a few dumb dumbs in here lately

[fleet kite]

what can i do it has to portable

[ebon marlin]

One thing you could do is to get laptop cooler

But you have to make sure that where the fan is blowing air there has to be ventilation at the bottom cover for the air to come in

Otherwise it'll just blow air to a solid and it'll end up doing nothing

[cold skiff]

Removing it from its case helps

You probably don’t wanna do that though

You could have also made a system inside a velka3. Extremely portable

[fleet kite]

It has Liquid Metal and I can’t risk it really

[cold skiff]

A PS5 has Liquid Metal

A PS5 is still hotter than the sun

To be fair to the PS5 it contains it well

However the PS5 has a lovely open chamber and orientation kills it. If it’s not perfectly flat you’re laying your APU will burn that tf one day

Most good laptops come with PTM now.

[grizzled frost]

For laptops that is

[cold skiff]

PTM

[grizzled frost]

That is indeed what PTM means

Phase Transition Material

It isn't a thermal paste though

It's a sheet

[cold skiff]

There’s a lot of things you call wrong in Russian though

[grizzled frost]

In english there is a differentiation

[cold skiff]

There is a certain simplicity to Russian that is to be admired too

[grizzled frost]

eh i enjoy the specificity and brevity that can be had in english

English is both simpler and more complex

English has a set of easy to abide by rules, but then ditches them a solid 50% of the time

[cold skiff]

i before e except after c 👀

[grizzled frost]

except for when it doesn't apply

[cold skiff]

Like 50% of the time 😂

[grizzled frost]

Weight, Beige, eight, sleigh, etc

[drifting urchin]

a joking casual reponse

to your conversation

if its rules fuck it

im not playing

[runic rover]

Soooo nobody knows how to fix a bios loop other than the obvious take out the CMOS battery

[drifting urchin]

i like english language but it has some really, really, obtuse rules for spelling, pronuciation, grammar, correct use of certain words, correct short forms etc.

[runic rover]

Not particularly it happens to me all the time for some reason

[drifting urchin]

i've got to bread box my rma board at some point

been almost week since i recieved it back, then test with 7400f, then a real cpu if that lives

[cold skiff]

Bread bins are better

[runic rover]

I have no clue

[peak swan]

Who sent "Uhhhhh?" with a ping and then deleted here

[signal crag]

uhm
(this is the secondary SSD that I put in, not the main one
but still)

[signal crag]

my bad, bot deleted cuz repeated characters

it's been 3 years

[runic rover]

Most of the videos I've looked up have not helped

[drifting urchin]

is bread box not the right term for testing a mobo on its own, cardboard box?

[peak swan]

I have hdds that have 6 years on them and smart says they're fine

[drifting urchin]

its bread something im 95% sure bread is the operative word

[signal crag]

i mean
i can still access the data
i came back home and it was on the screen

Nd then windows had rebooted so I'm lost

[grizzled frost]

I'm mildly proficient in a second language, i get it

I can't hold a prolonged conversation with a native speaker, but i can usually get my point across (in spanish, my second language)

[runic rover]

Damn

[drifting urchin]

breadboard lmao

sorry, gpt had to tell me

[grizzled frost]

Breadboard is a different thing entirely

this is a breadboard

generally when one sector fails the drive enters Read only mode

allowing you to get the data off, but not much else

[drifting urchin]

so the proper term would be breadboard testing?

[runic rover]

Oh my god I fixed it

[drifting urchin]

i get alot of terms confused ahah

[grizzled frost]

As in running a traditional desktop minus the case? then not at all

there isn't really a single word for that, it's usually just like a "testbench" type thing

[runic rover]

Yeah probably

Better than nothing

[drifting urchin]

good lord i would kill to have a testbench and proper repair tools

[grizzled frost]

what "proper repair tools" are you referring to

people generally don't really repair desktop electronics, once its broke its broke, unless it's just like a bent pin or something

[signal crag]

okayyy
I'll have to get a new m.2 in that case

[drifting urchin]

precision and heat tools basically

[grizzled frost]

what "precision" tools?

[drifting urchin]

soemthing steady that zooms in magnify

[grizzled frost]

what would you use it for

[signal crag]

whats a good nvme m.2 1tb

[grizzled frost]

for desktop electronics it's entirely uneccessary

[grizzled frost]

anything TLC

[drifting urchin]

repair my own stuff, friends family

[signal crag]

tlc makes ssds too?

[grizzled frost]

TLC is a type of NAND structure, the other one being QLC

[drifting urchin]

work on a rasberry pi or something tinker projects

[grizzled frost]

again, repairing desktop electronics isn't super viable nowadays

[signal crag]

ohhh i see
what's the difference?

[grizzled frost]

TLC has better write endurance, but is a bit more expensive, QLC has reduced write endurance, but is cheaper and a bit denser

TLC also tends to be more performant

[signal crag]

hmmm
I'm guessing wd blue sn570 is qlc?

[signal crag]

ooo interesting

[grizzled frost]

TLC

[signal crag]

oh
that's the one I had
and it was from the official seller too
guess i got a bad batch

[grizzled frost]

There's always going to be some bad samples

Impossible to completely avoid, so you just got quite unlucky

[signal crag]

fair

guess I'll get the same thing again

[grizzled frost]

I've seen loads of people buy that drive and have been happy, so i imagine you'll be happy with it

[signal crag]

okayyy
thanku!

[grizzled frost]

Happy to be of help

[kindred halo]

Any TLC drive with an x4 connection

Unless it's 5x2

[grizzled frost]

5x2 bad, very cringe, 4x4 bestest

[latent gull]

some weird looking bread

[drifting urchin]

theres a few other reasons i'd want to get that repair bench tool for tool, retro gaming stuff and crt for self/ maybe immediate

more or less the same as repair a pc

and like, when its some like, sanyo crt and a xbox 2000, its that, or fork up what the ebay repair man say

[grizzled frost]

CRT repair is an easy way to irradiate yourself

or just die cause you touched the wrong cap

[drifting urchin]

yeah its rough, i can imagine, would want to do like capacitor replacements and such on crt, small mods to snes or whatever

[grizzled frost]

Do you already have electronics experience?

[drifting urchin]

you let it discharge for a day or more when you work on a crt, 2 days minimum sometimes a week

[grizzled frost]

Depends heavily on the model of CRT

[drifting urchin]

its not fafo territory, i know that for 200%

[grizzled frost]

some caps can stay charged longer than that

[drifting urchin]

the fa part is the glass tube its self and that whole stem

if thats done, its just done, most cases, what i read, or there is crack or something

[grizzled frost]

I recommend you get electronics experience from lots of other things before you go poking around in a CRT

[drifting urchin]

for sure

[cold skiff]

You actually wonder why there isn’t “danger on death” if opened on more electronics

Yet for the obvious power substations you walk by on the street the sign is there… yet we all know

[gritty panther]

anything with a power supply can kill you

[cold skiff]

It’s not about knowing what can and can’t kill me

It’s about the general public

[swift thorn]

speculation: someone had that thought with warranty null if opened stickers, and look where we are

[cold skiff]

Especially with that eight to repair stuff in America

[rain lily]

yeah one video has caused a bunch of people here to try to fix old intel motherboard sockets

[drifting urchin]

with the crt its the stem thats the kill you part,

thats easily easily over 10k volts

[formal elbow]

One curiosity
I got a normal RX6600 and in LACT it sometimes tops my TDP at 120W, sometimes to 144W. Why is that?

[cold skiff]

I just remember chucking old broke CRTs out. Was satisfying too tbh

[cold skiff]

No idea what LACT is…

[swift thorn]

LACT?

[drifting urchin]

its gpt so grain of salt but says 14 inch would be minimum 72 hours to discharged it

[swift thorn]

eheheh, we had the pleasure of pushing them off of a 30 story building, there was no danger to anyone or any property and it was so fun

[formal elbow]

Some GPU management software on Linux

[rain lily]

why? my motherboard has an extra 5x2 slot and it’s running my 4x4 drive at 4x2 on it because I’m out of lanes so I’m curious why it would be bad? I’m not going to go out and buy a drive but i’m curious

is it just that the drives are mediocre

[drifting urchin]

if everything is good in the crt, and its a nice model, it looks really fantastic for retro

pvm bvm is a step too far for me wit that i think however

[grizzled frost]

The issue with 5x2 is if ever you want to put it in a 4x4 slot it’ll run at 4x2

[pine sandal]

is the Netac NV7000-t good? (used as a main nvme that has the operating system)

[orchid trellis]

I now have full 10g networking on my local home network

[rain lily]

what about the stuff advertised for both like this? will it automatically negotiate?

[swift thorn]

it advertises both 5x2 and 4x4 so I presume it can do both

[gleaming rose]

I'm not a huge ai fan but perplexity is adding things that actually look fairly valuable

they added a patent browser

[twin grove]

the thermaltake ax700 is finally avalible lol

[rain lily]

that is pretty nifty

[twin grove]

too bad I already got a different case because I got tired of waiting

[rain lily]

idk how much i’d rely on it yet but it’s a good concept

[gleaming rose]

idk the model like pulls in relevant patents upon request

of course if you don't want to rely on the model itself you can just read the actual patent it pulls in - which is pretty nifty

[rain lily]

i’d just worry about it missing something

not false positives

[gleaming rose]

just tested it and it works nicely

[twin grove]

it took thermaltake 10 years to replace the w100 but it was worth it holy crap

[gleaming rose]

however many gallons of water I just used probably wasn't worth it

[rain lily]

is there a cheap cable I can use to us the USB-C PD header on my MSI motherboard?

[gleaming rose]

but whatever - it's nifty

[gleaming rose]

Anker makes some quality PD cables

[rain lily]

also is it a proprietary header?

[twin grove]

also who else has been loving all the wood accent pc cases if I didn't already have a theme planned out for my setup I would 100% do wood accent everything

[drifting urchin]

the cable just goes in

[rain lily]

my case doesn’t support it so I just want a cable to run outside my current case

[gleaming rose]

nevermind I can't read

[grizzled frost]

no

[twin grove]

you can find cables but if you have say a 5.25" bay that is empty you can get things to add usb ports there as well as other things if not I have also seen ones that you remove a usb A port and can add a usb C port insted

[rain lily]

what’s the name of it to help look for cases and cables?

[twin grove]

what case do you already have?

[restive sail]

I love those things. I want to get a case with a 5.25" specifically for the memory card adapters. It's great.

[rain lily]

oh that’s the move, I just use a usb-c 4k bluray drive these days unless I really want litescribe and then I’ll just use an external usb->sata adapter

[grizzled frost]

JUSBC

[twin grove]

look at the one I posted a second ago it has like 12

[rain lily]

fractal R4

[restive sail]

Holy discs batman.

That looks like my recordex disc cloner. Lol

[twin grove]

oh yeah a classic I would go with the 5.25 bay replacment then because it is the simplest

[restive sail]

Corporate needs you to find the difference between these two pictures

[twin grove]

I want to build a workstation and have 2 bluray drives and the rest hotswap 3.5" bays so I can use it for both bluray backups and my unity work since I am getting more comfterble doing that

[cold skiff]

What difference

[restive sail]

Nice

[exotic valley]

Does it burn slower when light on fire?

[twin grove]

I mean my desk is reclaimed bowling ally floor its a 2 inch thick slab of oak

also ugh one of my cables seems to have shifted and is smacking a fan and I am too lazy to move my pc dissasemble it to fix it

I got a thermaltake tower 500 and its one of the 2 fans in the back of the case for hdd cooling

[exotic valley]

Sounds nice and I know bowling alley floors are usually made with high quality, durable woods

[twin grove]

mmhmm I stained it black because it was not the prettiest grain

[gleaming rose]

I may retrofit a USB c port into my Audi when I get it

[exotic valley]

You can take it apart and fix it with a single zip tie

[twin grove]

thermaltake still sells the versa h21 holy crap

[twin grove]

yes but my case is heavy and in the corner I would have to move everything in my setup to get to it

[pale flint]

crazy will they actually cover the difference?

[twin grove]

the thermaltake level 20 is only $750 insted of the usual $1K guess they are finally discontinuing it finally

[abstract wigeon]

it actually is tech cat

[tropic mortar]

its not available in windows repair tho

it's not showing up at all outside of bios

[gilded harness]

are you sure its not showing as local drive c or etc?

[tropic mortar]

nope

[gilded harness]

interesting

[tropic mortar]

checked the drives with diskpart and its just my usb i have the windows install on

[ionic peak]

eww wot

[jaunty apex]

Other than that best guess would be faulty or not properly plugged in data cable

Buuuut its M.2 so doesn't apply here

[gilded harness]

quit war thunder before war thunder quits you

[ionic peak]

How come?

[tropic mortar]

do you think it's faulty then?

[jaunty apex]

No idea unfortunately

[tropic mortar]

damn

My tongue is still spicy :(

Very slightly, but i can notice it though :(

[gilded harness]

more top tier losers after all these new premiums and sales

people believe in their click bait too much

i mean yeah its a decent tank but holy fuck

[ionic peak]

then dont play toptier

[gilded harness]

i dont really play top tier that much but lower tiers are also zsu 57 spam

Any of y'all ever used SFFTime's cases? I'm looking for a (thin) sff case that supports ideally full atx, but m-atx would also work. Curious if y'all have any recommendations, sfftime seems to be the only option though.

I'm trying to build something that can fit in a backpack or suitcase with relative ease

But also doesn't require me to buy a new motherboard and a smaller GPU.

[empty quartz]

I got hit with some spicy spray after a group of kids asked for a lighter and then i went to get it back

Iykyk

[south arrow]

What some bungholes

At least you gavem a light to begin with

what pbo limits are good for making my cpu not sound like a space heater (5600x)

[south arrow]

Hopefully wasn't to shabby people suck

[empty quartz]

Not even a cheapo bic

[rain lily]

idk if it’s as slim as you want with the vertical gpu though

[empty quartz]

It was my fancy electric arc lighter

[rain lily]

it’s aluminum so it’s nice and light

[south arrow]

Its the moral, shouldn't have been an issue. If they'd just gave it back

[cyan grotto]

My pc keeps crashing when its overloaded(rendering Adobe pr).. any tips?

[empty quartz]

I prefer the og cheese grater

Well hopefully they got what was coming

[empty quartz]

Kids nowadays are too bitchy to throw hands, now they just mace and run

actually that one is thinner

[empty quartz]

I would hate to see some kids get thrown in jail just because they made a mistake and fucked with the wrong guy

[rain lily]

i don’t think you’re going to fit a full atx case in a backpack

[south arrow]

Certainly not the brightest choices

[left dove]

atx is big yo

just sell your shit, rebuy smaller things

orrrrrrr just buy a laptop

this is literally going to ruin the already shitty llms

[drifting urchin]

holy moly...

[gleaming rose]

yeah the prices are baaad

[drifting urchin]

2400$ for ram, an absurd amount ya

flare x5 5200mhz i bought like, i dunno, 6 months ago

450$ ish cad, now today, 918

[empty quartz]

Do i go 26, or stay on 18? 🗿

[rain lily]

but it’s a great size for a mATX case

[south arrow]

I always run latest but sometimes can be more expensive on the system, not familiar with the changes

[empty quartz]

@rain lily the real cheese grater

[drifting urchin]

i had to do a double take when i saw 900+ after i knew i paid liked 450 with taxes and shipping lomao

[empty quartz]

I had 2 of these, but i sold 1

[drifting urchin]

cuz i figured, ah maybe it went up like 50 or 100 bucks 150 bucks, nope

[rain lily]

i love apple’s designs

and build quality

[empty quartz]

I love the designs of the ifon 16 linup and older

[drifting urchin]

the reason i figured i'd get it cuz it was dual chanel, and supposedly for quad you have to have all the CL and whatever numbers exact or it doesnt quite work right and i was just like, ah i'll check if they still have them in stock and the price

[ionic peak]

[empty quartz]

U good?

[ionic peak]

so what changed?

[empty quartz]

I would’ve stayed with it, had my mom not broken it

[ivory mountain]

[empty quartz]

It had been broken before, then repaired, but my mom broke my 12

[rain lily]

i’m thinking about trading up to the 17pm though

[ionic peak]

my friend has one to but battery is still alive

[empty quartz]

Dont, the scratchgate issues are prevalent

[jaunty apex]

I love my pixel 9. I absolutely hate Google but the device is cool. GrapheneOS too. Stocks alright but miss me with that AI shit

[south arrow]

Oh hes live neat

[empty quartz]

I wanna get my hands on a s24, and do a proper bend test, i dont exactly trust jre’s bend tests

[south arrow]

The s24U is alright it does feel really firm though so not sure how much bend it'd allow

[empty quartz]

[empty quartz]

I meant the base s24

Im not made of money

[twin steeple]

Is the 5070 12gb worthi it 2025? Or should i try and find a 16gb model

[empty quartz]

Just because i have 11 macbooks or smt, doesnt mean im rich

[south arrow]

I always go used for half price or less

[jaunty apex]

12gb isn't too bad but 16gb is obviously better

[empty quartz]

Whats wrong?

[twin steeple]

going for a 1500dollar build rn

[empty quartz]

Brb, im gonna update ios, and head off to work

[south arrow]

Hopefully its a good one Ace take some milk with ya

Or some bread, smth

[jaunty apex]

12gb should be fine then imo. But take that from someone who spent 2 grand on an am4 build with an RX 6700

[rain lily]

https://phonerebel.com/products/rebel-flex-series-17

$45 for a new case though and $33 over a year in extra charges on my phone bill if I trade up next year or $100 total if I don’t trade up

[ionic peak]

why break it?

[ivory mountain]

nothing 18.6.2 is what i use cause its so peak

[jaunty apex]

Looks like spigen but you are getting less for more

[rain lily]

i use cases

[jaunty apex]

Wtf is Scratchgate stop making shit up

We had anodized aluminum before, this isn't new

[rain lily]

the edgeless cases really do make it feel nicer to use, i love mine and the bumpers have been enough to keep my phones safe over the past like 5 years

[queen trout]

https://www.fsplifestyle.com/en/product/HyperK700W.html this power supply

[jaunty apex]

I can kinda see that tbh. This case is thick as fuck and I already don't like phones this big.

[ionic peak]

What series?

[queen trout]

700

[ionic peak]

what series no watage

[queen trout]

hyper k

[fringe prairie]

i regret updating to 26

[jaunty apex]

I gotchu

[rain lily]

they also manufacture in much lower quantities than spigen so i kind of understand the pricing but yeah it is expensive

[fringe prairie]

cant even downgrade now

[ionic peak]

there is no 700w models here

[rain lily]

enough to make me kind of not want to upgrade to the 17pm

[ionic peak]

only 600 or 500

[ionic peak]

what does it look like?

[ionic peak]

not the specs the psu

[drifting urchin]

this is what happend with my cpu and how i assume besides dropped things went wrong with cpu socket

[raw trout]

Looks like the pipes come bent when you recieve it

[drifting urchin]

so i dont really know how you get aroun that but like, ya

[raw trout]

Oh wait are you selling that

[raw trout]

What version of mspaint

Windows 11 or what

[drifting urchin]

ya, its a tad off, but like, i gotta figure out solution to mount that

probably pay tech to do it this rate

[tropic mortar]

hi guys

new problem

[tropic mortar]

i'm trying to install my RAID drivers in the windows installation window but it give me an error when i try to, anyone know why this could be?

[ionic peak]

nah like his great great great great great great grandfather came there

[rigid fjord]

you don't need the raid drivers, you need to go back into your bios, look in the advanced settings and ensure sata mode = achi instead

[tropic mortar]

yep its achi

[random gyro]

why can't I see the smart of this portable disk? it's a wd elements 1tb, idk why but when I use a portable shell I can check other disks' smart, but I can't with this?

[tropic mortar]

thing is the drive i want to install it to isnt getting recognized by the install

[left trellis]

Is the Phanteks XT PRO any better than a 903 base

[rigid fjord]

then you got a borked installer in this case, as you shouldn't be trying to install any drivers while doing the initial windows install

[random gyro]

I mean like, why on some devices you can't see their smart, like in usbs or in this disk?

[rigid fjord]

yes

[tropic mortar]

what should i do then?

[grizzled frost]

remake the installation media

[rigid fjord]

because of the usb's controller

[rigid fjord]

what iroh said

[tropic mortar]

i did that 2 times and still nothing

[rigid fjord]

redownload the iso file

[grizzled frost]

redownload the file from windows

[tropic mortar]

formatted my usb, reinstalled the media still not there

[grizzled frost]

me and rauko are basically the same person rn

[tropic mortar]

LOL

[rigid fjord]

same thoughts be happening, because we've dealt with this shit with others

[grizzled frost]

Yep

and the solution is basically the same every time

[rigid fjord]

don't make us bring out the lead pipe

[grizzled frost]

will a 16oz hammer suffice, that’s all i have on hand

[left trellis]

https://es.pcpartpicker.com/list/m94LMC

this list fine?

asked for a 7800x3d build under 1.7k in spain

[rigid fjord]

yup

[grizzled frost]

though it’s usually my computer hammer

[raw trout]

That seems reasonable for a phone with a removable battery

[grizzled frost]

it’s a universal concept in IT

[raw trout]

It may damage your device or case you to struggle if used on something without a removable battery

[grizzled frost]

damage is the point

[rigid fjord]

universal in mechanics also apparently https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ARukaDFuYow

[grizzled frost]

every industry uses a hammer, some industries just aren’t well known for it

[rigid fjord]

hammer

[grizzled frost]

that’s too much hammer for me

160oz is about where i stop

maybe 320oz

[raw trout]

In today's series of :- will it crack or smash

[rigid fjord]

will it pancake or dust you mean

[raw trout]

Doesn't feel like it rhymes

[grizzled frost]

some things crumple, some things shatter

Computers do both

[rigid fjord]

somethings you gotta scrape up from the floor with a spatula after

[grizzled frost]

Some things you need a brush and soap

[raw trout]

Some things you need a scolding from your wife and some tiles and cement

[rigid fjord]

somethings require bleach , soda water and some sulphuric acid

"if you don't succeed the first time, hide all evidence"

[raw trout]

Some things need bleach on your pupils

[stark kiln]

Is you running at 76° normal?

[raw trout]

Cpu or gpu

[rigid fjord]

i miss my old iroko club btw

[stark kiln]

GPU

I'll set my fan speeds higher it's now at 67°

[glass crater]

F or C?

[stark kiln]

C

[stark kiln]

It's MC with some high demanding shaders

It looks so good tho so I can handle the loud fan speed

[raw trout]

Put on some noise cancelling headphones or earbuds or loud music

[inner veldt]

Should I return this 5090? Coil whine is annoying

[tropic mortar]

by this did you mean to redownload the install media creation tool or downloading the iso file

cuz i'm using a usb to boot into the windows install

[glass crater]

why don't you use rufus?

[tropic mortar]

lemme see

[stark kiln]

Rufus?

[raw trout]

Can't handle a little coil whine? Awwww

[glass crater]

Rufus

[raw trout]

Yummy

[dull zinc]

Anyone know what that buzzing sound is? It starts randomly and it used to never happen before I installed my 3080ti MSI

[glass crater]

fans?

[tropic mortar]

gpu fans

[glass crater]

Which GPU should I get with a 5700 Ryzen 7?

[dull zinc]

Nah its not the fans I think because why would they cause more noise when am using YouTube instead of gaming and it also does that randomly

[tropic mortar]

geforce 256

[dull zinc]

It's not overheating it's at 51c

[tropic mortar]

so the buzzing noise starts when you goon youtube?

go on*

LMAO

[dull zinc]

Nah randomly. Sometimes when I play games sometimes when I do nothing

[glass crater]

very funny

[ionic peak]

peak

[tropic mortar]

probably just some random coil whine

or maybe a fan

[dull zinc]

Bruh how does that happen even xd

[tropic mortar]

funny electrons

[dull zinc]

I know its like a magnetic fan or something like that but like how can it make noise it ifs not even touching

[glass crater]

maybe it is check it

[raw trout]

Cheap coil. It's in my powerbank. No issues with your system just acoustic

[twin steeple]

opinions on the 9070XT? Vs a 5070 OC (about 100dollars cheaper)

[dull zinc]

Holy I managed to catch a peak audio moment where it disappeared and then after 20s it appeared again this is after turning it off and then on.

[glass crater]

fans

[exotic valley]

dont consider 9070xt as AMD has dubious shady driver support

[glass crater]

Maybe rendering stuff

[exotic valley]

i would suggest you go firmly on nvidia

[tropic mortar]

seems like fans

[dull zinc]

Idk how would I even find out which one it is, could it maybe have anything to do with my power supply since it's 750w and my GPU is 3080ti msi Ventura.

[twin steeple]

I have been googling quiete a bit and only see positive things about it on youtube.

[dull zinc]

Both Nvidia and AMD got bad drivers or I got bad luck

It is the fan the first one, I stopped it with my finger and all the noise disappeared

[glass crater]

drivers are always annoying hto

[rigid fjord]

the iso file itself, then use rufus instead to make the usb installer drive

[glass crater]

yes

[rigid fjord]

both are good, just go with whichever is cheaper

[rigid fjord]

nvidia lately has gotten worse drivers for a while

[rigid fjord]

i wouldn't at all

why don't you try local gpu manufacturers?@exotic valley

mtt s80 for example

[glass crater]

what is the 9060 xt even from?

where*

[ionic peak]

am i a fish

[rigid fjord]

too bad gpmi will never be adopted in the western world it does seem like a good connector

which serial, which transmision protocol?

hell even pcie is serial

[brave brook]

that was mostly used for external hard drives

Anyone know how to fix this on my vertical monitor

[tulip sparrow]

Change the oritantion in windows LOL

[tulip sparrow]

My guess your background isn't fill the full screen and thus you think its broken try dragging a window over there LOL

[magic mirage]

still wrong

[tulip sparrow]

Change orientation to landscape instead of portrait

If its a native potrait panel then yeah

[fringe prairie]

wow that is a really bad price lol

[magic mirage]

then my apps comes in sideways

[rigid fjord]

mind sending a pic of your bios, both the boot page and anythign to do with sata

yeah sure gimme a sec

your apps are already sideways

[tulip sparrow]

Which ia honestly very odd

[tropic mortar]

@rigid fjord here u go

[tulip sparrow]

What sort of connection does your monitor have?

Mini hdmi or USB-C?

aand have your checked the settings on the monitor itself?

[hexed tapir]

It worked either way both are curvy

[grizzled frost]

is true

[tulip sparrow]

I personally am using a displayport to type C cable for my monitor

[magic mirage]

my monitor is hdmi and no settings on monitor it self

Honestly at this point I would just return it and get a different monitor

There are so many on the market its impossible not to get a lemon from time to time LOL

[magic mirage]

its not the monitors fault its windows it worked fine in linux

[white pawn]

Is this a good monitor? (USD$175) https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/25-29-gaming-monitors/272516/aoc-q27g42ze-27-tft-2560x1440-ips-240hz-0-3ms-mprt-gaming-monitor-q27g42ze.html

[grizzled frost]

roughly as good as a 27” 2560x1440p ips 240hz 0.3ms response monitor

[white pawn]

Fr

[drifting urchin]

[grizzled frost]

there’s a couple nearly identical cards

[ionic peak]

gpu lol

2 Gigabytes here

[brave brook]

my Gigabyte 1030 was way worse

[hexed tapir]

Ddr3 version?

[brave brook]

nightmare fuel cooling solution

just the PCB

GDDR5. but that "heatsink"

[hexed tapir]

Fins are over rated

[tropic mortar]

woa...

[brave brook]

they also put a noisy fan on top of it. Anyway the card died by now

[ionic peak]

such tiny die

[brave brook]

that's 1030 for you

[tropic mortar]

cool ass heat pipes

[ionic peak]

so cute

[ionic peak]

Solid cooling

[brave brook]

LOL no, it was horrible

[hexed tapir]

They should've asked Intel for their heatsinks

[ionic peak]

ye its Solid

Solid metal

[craggy cove]

solid state cooling

assuming that was 100% aluminum too

[ionic peak]

99%

bc of surface

[craggy cove]

do you think theres a little copper on the die area

[hexed tapir]

Hell no

They didn't even put fins on it

[stray portal]

Nokia 9 pureview was so tuff I am sad Nokia doesn't make phones anymore

[ionic peak]

ye it does 1 % better cooling

[tired bear]

dat chin doe

[stray portal]

its kinda fine since it has top chin too

[tired bear]

i got no issue with top camera/sensors/earpiece

[hexed tapir]

hmd global makes Nokia licenses phones

[tired bear]

but bottom should be screen

[stray portal]

I prefer the older style chins cuz when it curves at the corners it looks ugly, meanwhile old phones had square screen do round borders it was beautiful

[stray portal]

they only make sub 200 dollar phones

Waste of potential tbh, the hmd skyline looks good I hope they make more

[random gyro]

Sup

[brave brook]

Nokia hasn't made phones since they sold the Lumia lineup to Microsoft.

The "Nokia" you have in picture is HMD.

[tired bear]

wtf is that
take rounded phone
make it pointy

[stray portal]

😱 Then hmd really fell off

[stray portal]

yeah kind of a bad design it's like u have a phone with the disadvantages of both shapes

[rigid fjord]

nah, this be nightmare fuel

[ionic peak]

Better than 5090

[hexed tapir]

I like that PCB bend

[tired bear]

clearly gpu is too heavy

[hexed tapir]

For sure

[ionic peak]

like my gtx 1060

[rigid fjord]

try swapping the m.2 over to the top m.2 slot instead of it being in the bottom one

[tropic mortar]

thats why its in the bottom slot LOL

i swapped it from top to bottom and it didnt do anything

[stray portal]

Idk why I wanna build an old pc

like actually old idk what I would do with it but it would be epic

[tropic mortar]

make cool code art with it

[empty quartz]

Reminds me of the s9 & s10

[brave brook]

is this the original self-cooking XFX 5700 ?

[rain lily]

what’s the most I should bid on this? $200? Ends a week from now. People are charging a bunch for the PVM monitors these days…

[rigid fjord]

nope, these essentially broke the pcb when the vapour chamber puffed out so much, it bent and in some cases snapped the pcb in half

[tired bear]

shipping will be pricy

[rain lily]

local pickup

[brave brook]

LOL

[tired bear]

delulu

[wheat torrent]

Using frame gen adds nearly the same latency as using GeForce Now

https://tenor.com/view/dexter-james-doakes-surprise-mf-can't-prove-it-gif-7408854170742055240

[tired bear]

make local rendering as shitty as possible so cloud gaming can compete

[wheat torrent]

The most interesting thing I noticed

Is that they aren't using a 5080

Since it has 48 gb of vram

And like 50gb of ram

Wait hold on

If it can run steam games

What stops me from using blender from steam and rendering on it

[hexed tapir]

The extra plastic "thicc" cards

[hexed tapir]

How good is your back?

[ionic peak]

Buy those and turn it into a gaiming controll center

[ionic peak]

Good price tbh

[tired bear]

supported list 🧻

[rigid fjord]

this is wierd, load up the installer for windows, and while inside it, press shift + f10 and then type diskpart
