[boreal vine]

that shit was like lightyears in difference

[drowsy isle]

Same for me. Went from not being able to run path tracing at all to getting a good experience

[rigid fjord]

9070xt or higher would be your best bet for noticable performance increase tbh @boreal vine

[boreal vine]

I would upgrade if i'm playing solo games, but i legit play nothing but comp shooters

[rigid fjord]

which a 7900xtx is on the higher part

[distant frigate]

I could actually get snow this November lmao. That’s wild

[boreal vine]

will do, i'll give it a year or two

i'm assuming new gpus = lower prices

[rigid fjord]

yeah, not by much currently, but if you do get the 7900xtx, you can definitly make a fair bit back on the 6800

[boreal vine]

yeah I'm going to sell it for the same price i got it for

[rigid fjord]

260-300 still for a 6800

[boreal vine]

i got it for 250

even less i think

[rigid fjord]

6700xt/6750xt going for 200-250 still

[boreal vine]

smells like fraud but okay'

[carmine yew]

you sus, stop trying to game the system

[ivory mountain]

haha six seven

[carmine yew]

but realistically if it's within the return window: they'll remove the game

[left trellis]

SIX SEVENNNNN

[stray portal]

What

[azure topaz]

buy the game yourself and actually pay for it

either thru eneba or whatever

[left dove]

That is fraud.

[jaunty apex]

I'm confused

[true stirrup]

Just measured it and I have 600x500mm free space without moving anything
I'm chilling

[stray portal]

Ok ima delete messages so I don't get ban

[jaunty apex]

If you are worried your friend will do this, I'd reevaluate the definition

As far as it being a gray market key, you'll probably lose the game due to that but your steam account should be fine

[rigid fjord]

even better

[viscid helm]

Hey all

how's it going?

I have such long note there!

[drowsy isle]

Damn 3080s have been going for $300. I sold my 3080ti for $360 after having it listed for a month

Those amd cards should be cheaper especially with Amd dropping game optimizations

[rigid fjord]

[subtle marsh]

With setting up a nas but only having non-nas hdds, would it be feasible to set up a rule for a lxc that powers down during night time hours ? Trying to work with what I have before investing dedicated money

[rigid fjord]

never found prime being hard to cancel tbh

[rigid fjord]

sweet

[steel umbra]

yay

(even tho i got no prime)

also it barely affected the company bc they had very good year

[pale flint]

[bronze summit]

I would never cancel prime because I have young adult prime

[boreal vine]

you don't need 9 fans tbh

I’m switching the AIO fans out

[boreal vine]

also change the ssd out

Oh shit I was using an old list

[pale flint]

mfs with 2 tb ram servers

[boreal vine]

p3 plus is outdated + kinda not good as a boot drive

also chagn your case to the white version

otherwise you're buying all this white components for nothing

[gaunt wave]

Sell my ram just to buy new ram when prices are low again lmaooo

[pale flint]

hell yeah 🔥🔥

[regal marlin]

I’m using SN5000 now

[boreal vine]

B650 Aourus ICE AX is also a better motherboard

[gaunt wave]

For that price, ill use my server for daily computing temporarily

[boreal vine]

aesthetic wise since it's actually white

[steel umbra]

p3 was only good bc it was dirt cheap before nand prices rocketed

[vast thorn]

hmm

[boreal vine]

could be better, but not bad

[pale flint]

will they ever go down?

[steel umbra]

like $30/tb in certain places

[pale flint]

thats the question 🤔

[regal marlin]

This one? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/CwjRsY/gigabyte-b650-aorus-elite-ax-ice-atx-am5-motherboard-b650-aorus-elite-ax-ice

[boreal vine]

yeah it was 30 GBP for likie a TB back then

[gaunt wave]

Uhm, I hope

[vast thorn]

why are ram prices doubled now

[pale flint]

well hopes aside

[boreal vine]

yeah that's the one, i mean either works

chip shortage due AI datacenters demand

[pale flint]

[gaunt wave]

I really don't know if they will become the old price, I mean eventually they will. Thats just a matter of time, but the amount of time is the question

[vast thorn]

crazy

[regal marlin]

Actually I’m just gonna get 3 fans to start

[boreal vine]

yeah, you can always scale later

get 3 of the actual fans your like

[pale flint]

invested

[boreal vine]

then put that money into another part

[regal marlin]

Idc about noise and I’m just gonna get 3 fans instead of 9

[viscid helm]

how's your health?

[boreal vine]

trust me, it'll drive you nuts

[boreal vine]

[regal marlin]

I use two layers of headphones I can’t hear shit

[viscid helm]

that's nice, what's the new job if I may ask?

[barren mural]

Hey guys sorry to bother, could i just get someone to have a quick scan across my PC build and make sure i havent made a lethal error or missed anything crucial?

[viscid helm]

I'm better now, managed to move and not live with family anymore

[gaunt wave]

[regal marlin]

What are the best 3 pack of LL Uni fans can you send a link

[boreal vine]

I think all lianli products are corny

i'm not the best person to ask about that one as I will be biased

there's a reason why they're only popular in the west and ont in china

[pale flint]

motherboard, psu, ram, cpu, gpu (if you want one) everything plugged in properly, thermal paste on cpu and then cooler on top (dont forget to peel the plastic off the heatsink)

[barren mural]

Mind having a look at my PC part picker build?

[pale flint]

[barren mural]

Just want to make sure i havent chosen incompatible parts that all ❤️

[pale flint]

oh you didnt build yet?

Ive shoved in the prices i currently have staring at me in my amazon basket, perfectly happy with cost, perfectly happy with parts.

[boreal vine]

lord have mercy

[regal marlin]

Hehehe

[pale flint]

blackfriday is near

idk if it'd be worth waiting for some price drops

[regal marlin]

More like White Moms buy useless dumb shit they don’t need Friday

[barren mural]

Yeh thats what were doing ive just got this build ready now to grab those prices ASAP

[pale flint]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[latent gull]

Black Friday is a joke nowadays

[regal marlin]

Fr

[pale flint]

hmmm

idk i never bought anything off blackfriday

[regal marlin]

It’s just so useless because they inflate prices little by little then drop to the original price

[pale flint]

anything i found on blackfriday was still shit

[pale flint]

business

[regal marlin]

Would that look bad

[rigid fjord]

nah, not goated, some of what i'm into he's also into, so there was some small discussions about it

[charred hare]

Niiiiice

[carmine yew]

fuck black friday

I will not participate in that level of bullshit

[rigid fjord]

@carmine yew you seen this?

[carmine yew]

that's interesting

I've actually never had prime myself

[hallow jasper]

[rigid fjord]

i have it but not affected by it

also asian styled beef stew rocks

goes perfect with rice

[ivory mountain]

rice goes with anything fr

[rigid fjord]

it doesn't go with ragu/bolognaise

[bronze summit]

I can confirm that

[ivory mountain]

the hell is that

[rigid fjord]

never heard of ragu or bolognaise?

[ivory mountain]

nah might be called sum different here do u have a pic

[ivory mountain]

that looks like chili

[rigid fjord]

chili is similar but this isn't spiced nor does it have black beans/kidney beans in it

[bronze summit]

Wow what a deal of the century

[rigid fjord]

celery, onion, carrot, tomatoes, and ground beef is what makes the bulk of this @ivory mountain

[tired bear]

looks like beef

[rigid fjord]

yup, definitely beef

[tired bear]

but that star anice
not my fav

[bronze summit]

Bolognaise is pretty good

But can last for 2 weeks

[tired bear]

at that point freeze it into portions and defrost as needed

[rigid fjord]

add either paprika or chinese 5 spice to give it some difference, also barely lasts 2 days for me

[keen kestrel]

not too shabby unless you live next to a microcenter I see these go all day long from 520-600 max

[tired bear]

goulash my fav

[rigid fjord]

i have still yet to learn to make this

[drifting urchin]

maybe just temporary

when did the olivia dean situation get this bad 😭

that cooler's a piece of crap

do not rely on it to cool anything

[swift moss]

ig i'm a man I can't really understand the popularity of olivia dean songs 😭

[drifting urchin]

i dont even know how i got it at this poiint

[carmine yew]

it may be a FM2 cooler or something that old

I wouldn't use it, when a cooler that will house that thing 14 ways from sunday is 20 bucks

or if you want an amazing dual tower cooler, it's around 30-35 bucks

[drifting urchin]

i got a bunch of other coolers but if this did the job

[carmine yew]

odds are it'll be throttling

air coolers are not expensive, sticking yourself with a shit cooler isn't worth the headache

[hallow jasper]

been doing it for 20 years

24.. shit

[carmine yew]

years ago on thanksgiving, there was a snowstorm overnight. We got around 30" of snow dumped on us.

I called Circuit City at 4AM and asked "Are we opening today?"

"Yes, we're opening, get to work."

So I drove 20 miles to work in a fuckin' blizzard.

People were standing outside of the store in 2+ Feet of fucking snow an hour+ before we opened for black friday bullshit.

no again jar jar.

[distant frigate]

Gotta make sure you have proper snow tires

Also 4 wheel drive cars can handle snow better I think

[hallow jasper]

nothing is going to keep a retail place closed on black friday back in the day

[hexed tapir]

Sorry I'm not risking my life driving in a blizzard for a holiday sale

[hallow jasper]

Tires are most important. 4-wheel/awd is nice to have but it doesn't help you stop or turn.

[distant frigate]

Yeah

[hallow jasper]

Common misconception

[carmine yew]

show up or get fired.

[agile stag]

i fixed my scooter

[carmine yew]

that's literally how they work

[distant frigate]

Also gotta hope the snow plows can do their jobs correctly and have salted the roads

Although when it’s snowing hard it’s probably gonna be hard to keep up

[hallow jasper]

I'd rather we just have plows.. i hate salt and slurry.

[hexed tapir]

But rust is great

[hallow jasper]

uuuugh

[carmine yew]

at the mall (different job) I went into work during a snowstorm.

30 minutes later the county sheriff comes through "Close up shop, it's an emergency. Go the fuck home!"

The mall got fined for every store that was open, because it's mall policy that if the mall's open, the stores are open.

(Due to store rules, I got paid for 4 hours regardless)

[distant frigate]

lol

[carmine yew]

fortunately that job was close to home.

[hexed tapir]

My job is 20 miles via the freeway so I just follow semi trucks during bad snow storms

@left dove i decided to get a 14” instead

My mother is lending $50 for it

[tired bear]

tires + knowing your vehicle + skill
once i got stuck in a blizzard while on top of a very steep hill, had to combine brake (which is mostly front biased) and handbrake (rear) to ensure front tires and back tires were doing maximum braking and not stopping compleatly as then you loose steering

[distant frigate]

Not fully symmetrical lmao

[peak swan]

Me rn installing windows 11 on a Celeron N3350 because fuck you Microsoft

[regal marlin]

Wow that’s pretty cheap for that much increase in size

Unless its coaxial cable internet then it should be 2 gigabit fully symmetrical

Yes DOCSIS 4.0 can do 2 gigabit download and one gigabit upload

Oh lol

[hallow jasper]

I distinctly remember being stuck behind an AWD SUV on what were clearly summer or just bald tires in a light snow. Guy got stuck half way up the hill and was just spinning all 4. I was in my rotary powered (low torque) but RWD RX-8 on BLizzaks and was able to go around him and right up. Felt gooood.

[hexed tapir]

I keep a shovel in my car

[distant frigate]

January 2018 blizzard. Fun storm

Got like 13-14 inches of snow

[tired bear]

here it is mandatory to have snow tires on date 15.11 or summer tires with 4mm of thread and "snow equipment" which are chains, those tire socks or simmilar

[distant frigate]

That blizzard blew so much snow it was insane. Visibility down to zero miles. Up to 75 mph wind gusts

Didn’t lose power thankfully

[hallow jasper]

I'd love this requirement. Sure, you need to purchase (and continue to purchase) a second set of tires at least (if not wheels to keep them on) but it makes such a difference.

[tired bear]

wait you guys loose power if there is a storm?

[hallow jasper]

We've lost power for multiple days before in major ice storms

[hexed tapir]

For our canyons roads in Utah you need snow tires or chains with 4wd or awd

[distant frigate]

The only time we lost power was during the blizzard of 2013

[hallow jasper]

Snow is fine, but ice storms are real bad for power.

[distant frigate]

18 inches of wet snow lmao. The trees were sagging a lot

[hallow jasper]

this

[distant frigate]

Combine sagging branches with strong winds and trees are gonna fall down. At the very least big tree branches

[hexed tapir]

We get that fine light powder snow

[tired bear]

interesting, here power is really reliable, we dont have uninsulated wires on poles anymore and use this stuff

so snow and ice doesnt affect it much

[hallow jasper]

i'm fairly certain our wires are all insulated, but if you take the poke down completely..

[carmine yew]

no wires outdoors should be uninsulated

[carmine yew]

Why do you think ice affects the wires?

[hallow jasper]

Its all the trees. When you hammer them with ice and they sag, bad things happen.

[distant frigate]

Damn

[brave brook]

that is the whole point of underground wires. Yes, it costs more to put them down, but then the only real danger to them is this

[hallow jasper]

of course, but that doesn't exist everywhere in this very large country

some places, yeah

[tired bear]

arhitecture of usa power grid and europe is really diffrent
you have single 13kv wire on top of the pole and then at most couple of houses share same transformer
we have 10kv 3 phase feed (often underground) to a bigger transformer which provides power to ~100 consumers

[brave brook]

i love how it is always "this large country" , and then for most of it the density is similar to Europe

[tired bear]

wooden pole
ye na

[distant frigate]

This tree is honestly my biggest concern

[hallow jasper]

https://tenor.com/view/ijustworkhere-sassy-gif-13287642

[distant frigate]

There’s ofc other trees around this home that could come down

[wheat torrent]

holly fuck

thats some cool ass looking tech

[distant frigate]

Ice storms don’t happen too much here thankfully

We do get a glaze to 0.10 inches of ice but definitely not like 0.5 inches of ice or so

[wheat torrent]

hat is that machinee

[brave brook]

here it is 110kV to city edge, then 22kV inside the city. but to be fair, i have yet to see a transformer in big cities 😄

[tired bear]

refrence for usa folks on how pole should look like

[left dove]

14" best form factor

[tired bear]

yea maybe it is 22kv to transformer

[hallow jasper]

yeah the last bad one that took out power for days was like 5 years ago or something. its not common

[brave brook]

the transformers are probably hidden in buildings which are not that obvious

[tired bear]

transformers are everywhere, they are just decently camuflaged

[brave brook]

i mean sometimes they are obvious

[distant frigate]

What 7 inches of wet snow does to trees. Temperature right around freezing

[distant frigate]

This was in 2021

[brave brook]

and this is the typical above the ground wiring and poles here 😄

[tired bear]

here they let artists do some cool designs on them

[brave brook]

those are precast concrete, around 200 to 270 mm diameter

[distant frigate]

lol the transformers here are ugly

Just exposed wires. No building around it

Wait I think I meant a substation lol

[tired bear]

well almost all infrastructure is form over function

[empty quartz]

It ended up only costing 1056 cad after tax

[mortal jackal]

port 8080

[brave brook]

i think the only obvious building i suspect is the transformer is this

My city recently installed a darker colored pole transformer

[empty quartz]

1065*

[left dove]

not bad tbh

[empty quartz]

oh fuck

Im not going to say anything to the store, but they had an m1 max in this box listed as m1 pro with 32gb and 1tb ssd

[brave brook]

ah nevermind, that building belongs to the Telekom 😄

[tired bear]

could be temporary warehouse for power company

[empty quartz]

Unless they ask for it back, im keeping this

[late sapphire]

anyone else here that uses cloudgaming?

[tired bear]

thats your pop then

[empty quartz]

Im now curious what ssd is in this since the soc was wrong

2tb

Guh

[brave brook]

found one

[tired bear]

yep thats the one

[empty quartz]

@left dove if the store doesnt ask for it back, i just got an m1 max mbp with 32gb of ram, and 2tb ssd for the price of an m1 pro with 32gb and 1tb ssd

[brave brook]

and another

[tired bear]

now you will see them everywhere 🤣

[hallow jasper]

when I learned about verizon central offices, now I can spot them everywhere

[tired bear]

they can also be prefabs

[brave brook]

for the amount of buldings here, they aren't that common. I mean in cadastree map i seen like 3-4 of them for probably ~4-5k people ?

[brave brook]

i wish i had trust in Apple about m1 longevity

but knowing apple you should start enjoying your 2nd to last OS update, you will get one more in 2026 and then it is bye bye. If you are lucky you will get one more in 2027.

and then it will transform into eWaste

[tired bear]

have linux folks figured out how to install it on m1 yet?

[brave brook]

https://asahilinux.org/docs/platform/feature-support/m1/

something works, something doesn't

[empty quartz]

Thats m1, m1 pro will get updates for quite awhile longer

And m1 max*

[tired bear]

for server duties it will be good nuf

[brave brook]

+1 year

[clever laurel]

Hello everyone, i am just wondering what a good cpu reccomendation is if i want it to be around 300-350 aud and on the am5 platform

[brave brook]

M1 is 2021 product, so 2027-2028 is the kill date

[empty quartz]

meh, i can still run linux on thos

[empty quartz]

Minus security updates*

[brave brook]

i don't count the +2 years of security updates as real support from Apple. And running OS without security updates is something i don't like to do

[tired bear]

you dont have lots of choices, avoid 8000 series

[clever laurel]

i was thinkin maybe the 5 7600x? is that a solid choice? i would pair it with a b650m motherboard

[tired bear]

its good

[brave brook]

tho if you can push for 9600x, go for it imo

i mean at 30 AUD difference, might as well

[clever laurel]

yeah alright thanks guys.

[clever laurel]

is it worth bothering with intel platform anymore or not really

[brave brook]

there are use cases for it yes, but then also Intel is right on the verge of launching yet another socket, so if you buy into it, you will not have an upgrade path without replacing both mobo and CPU

[clever laurel]

because i currently have a 10400f and i believe the ryzen 5 9600x would be a large upgrade

[brave brook]

why would anyone even buy this card new, more less used 😄

also people doing disturbing builds

[tired bear]

well
doesent hurt to put it for sale and if someone really needs it they will buy it

[tired bear]

2000 euros no lowballers, i know what i got

[brave brook]

that card is 20.52 euros on amazon. he is trying to sell it for 20 😄

[tired bear]

[clever laurel]

is there much difference between x and x3d or not really

[brave brook]

440 euros. 5600G ona Jginyue B450 mobo 😄

[tired bear]

lots

[clever laurel]

oh alright im mainly using it for gaming and maybe a bit of fusion 360

so i should be fine on the x ratehr then the x3d?

[tired bear]

how much is x3d one?

[brave brook]

this was such a stupid phase of tech

[tired bear]

really was
i would fill it with pcie to m.2 adapters

[tired bear]

yes

[brave brook]

the cursed image

[tired bear]

yess and imagine double of those

[rigid fjord]

what you expect, it be for bitcoin

he raises your price after asking for lower than 85% of the offrered price

i can get this in bulk for nothing

[plush wren]

this would be lovely

[random junco]

5 euros for a 128gb? cant even find it for below 10 in facebook marketplace..

[rigid fjord]

it's a dad joke but also lotr meme and then some, yet works so much

[latent gull]

I wonder if more people know who sting is or know what sting is

[rigid fjord]

funny fact, p.diddy has to pay $2k daily to sting because of a song he sampled from

[random junco]

pennies for him

[carmine yew]

It's a Dad Rock LOTR Meme Joke

[rigid fjord]

many wouldn't realise he's part of police

[carmine yew]

toss up. Sting's really popular, esp in the 40 plus crowd.

But LOTR spans more generations, so.... hard to say

[latent gull]

I have no idea who’s in police

British bands don’t do it for me

[rigid fjord]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPwMdZOlPo8 the band that made him known @latent gull

[latent gull]

Yeah, I know the police, I just never looked into who was in them. I also don’t really know anything about sting beyond the facts old english singer

[rigid fjord]

the lead singer = sting

this was before he did solo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbXWrmQW-OE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMOGaugKpzs <- the song that cost $2k daily to p.diddy if i remember the right song

[rigid fjord]

as you're old enough and may have seen the original tv series, you might recognise sting in dune

[carmine yew]

I do lol

and yes, I've seen all of that movie

Rauko, tremble in fear:

[rigid fjord]

i forgot that jean luc picard (patrick stewart) was in dune also

[craggy cove]

50€ b550, what can go wrong

this way i know if my cpu or mobo has a dead ram channel problem

[drowsy isle]

my WiFi is completely down and windows is locking me out of my pc and I need a WiFi connection to get back in thank you Microsoft

[left trellis]

Thoughts on this, under 800, for gaming
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/X8GWHW

[north peak]

looks pretty decent

[north peak]

average microsoft expierience

I have a question about using 2 gpus in one system. I currently have a 7900xt in my pc, and a spare 6600xt. Right now I am trying to train ai models using tensorflow on my pc, but this can take days, and uses 12/20gb of vram as well as 20-40% of the 3D part of my gpu , and 100% of the compute. My cpu is barely used and I still have about half my ram available 16gb/32gb. I want to be able to still use my pc to game while training models. I do not want to cause crashes or screw up my training while gaming so I do not think just gaming anyway is a great idea. Would putting the 6600xt in my pc to game on while the 7900xt does the training be a good idea? My psu is a 850w.

[drowsy isle]

Yeah my 5080 got lost so i was hoping to at least run the pc with the igpu but for some reason Microsoft doesn’t like that and is locking me out

And currently WiFi is down

[north peak]

maybe it needs to download some driver

[drowsy isle]

Not a driver it locked me out before

When I tried to go into safe mode to use ddu

[peak swan]

Eff you Microsoft, it runs fine

[north peak]

good lord

try tiny11

[peak swan]

No

[north peak]

why not (it seems good though i dont daily drive it)

[peak swan]

Because full fat runs fine

[north peak]

really?

[peak swan]

It's just so high usage because I'm installing crap

[north peak]

i see

[azure topaz]

people when microsoft didn’t test everything and see what would run for real minimally

[charred hare]

https://www.theverge.com/news/812545/coda-studio-ghibli-sora-2-copyright-infringement

[north peak]

i think they just want you to buy a new pc

[azure topaz]

what does microsoft gain

[north peak]

new pc comes with new windows license

[peak swan]

Also gonna downgrade this pc from 16gb ram to either 4 or 8gb and sell it

[azure topaz]

you can move your windows license over

[drowsy isle]

Prebuilts and laptop manufacturers buy licenses

[north peak]

most people dont know that they can or how to, plus if you buy a laptop or prebuilt desktop a new key was purchesd for it anyway

[azure topaz]

you sign into microsoft account.

that’s it

idk man i build my own stuff

that part was rage bait i get what you’re saying

[north peak]

if you buy a laptop whether you like it or not it comes with a windows key

[peak swan]

When you buy a computer (new) pre-installed with windows, you pay for windows as part of the computer price

[azure topaz]

i mean no there’s certainly laptops without windows required

[north peak]

as do I, but we are part of a smallish amout of people that do

[azure topaz]

actually i’m pretty sure on HP’s site you can spec laptops with freedos lol

[arctic furnace]

Anyone how how to fix this?

[north peak]

those cant be purchased at local best buy or canada computers or micro center tho

[arctic furnace]

My corsair fans are not lighting up

[north peak]

didnt know that, i buy stuff from kijiji or ebay

[azure topaz]

like hp.com is not a viable site

[peak swan]

Thinkpads have the option of no os (and sometimes Ubuntu)

[azure topaz]

yeah exactly

uh also literally the entirety of mac

💀😭

i’m 50/50 with it

[rigid fjord]

which you can transfer any you have to it

[azure topaz]

i kind of believe it’s for security, the tpm2.0 restriction is why most computers are locked out

[drowsy isle]

How does it relate to a newly manufactured laptop or prebuilt?

[azure topaz]

i’m pretty sure microsoft allows you to install with an unsupported cpu as long as you have a tpm 2.0 card

[north peak]

The whole deal with this argument was the ms makes money from people buying new pcs, they make the money from the general public, not from the tech people in this server. We all know how to not pay for windows (legally)

[rigid fjord]

<@&750150305383186585> rule 11 btw

[north peak]

wait what did i do

oh i see

[peak swan]

I had a moldy windows xp professional key sticker from a thinkpad but i threw out the sticker because well yeah, mold

[sage ocean]

Is this a good ryzen model? Was looking to grab a laptop for my dad

[north peak]

idk how to change it just for a server mb

[rigid fjord]

you can transfer from what you already got to the newer one, basic feature from microsoft tbh

[peak swan]

And illegally too lol (let's just say I've only paid for windows once)

[north peak]

yeah i just didnt know if id get a warning or smth for saying that

[rigid fjord]

on most it would be the /nick command, here it would be asking a mod to do it

[drowsy isle]

I’m talking about a new desktop or laptop. If a business builds a new desktop or laptop they are also going to load it up with an official windows install.

[peak swan]

Wait those specs for that little?? Damm

[north peak]

its on bidding so itll probably go higher, though it is still a good price

[humble tree]

yo

[peak swan]

You can mention piracy but not mention specific methods or something
It's in #rules

[humble tree]

guys what is the best driver atm for nvidia i heard most of them are shi

[random junco]

/nick bob

[north peak]

i read em just dont remember em too too good

[rigid fjord]

for the price it's actually decent enough, what's your dad going to do with the laptop?

[agile stag]

mods arent real or something

wait grr curse of discord oh well

[peak swan]

Not always
I remember in my home country many prebuilts shipped with dos (even gaming ones), and you had to bring your own windows

[peak swan]

Microsoft basic display adapter

[humble tree]

blud what

[sage ocean]

Probably browse Facebook, watch YouTube, and use things like OBD II scan tools

[north peak]

lol, this is what I used with my amd gpu for a while when the amd drivers screwed up my pc

[sage ocean]

150 is a hard price to beat

[peak swan]

The only good driver for Nvidia cards/j

[humble tree]

what one fr

[agile stag]

oh hey mclean surplus theyre neat

youll probably get market price from them maybe a little more

if you bid wanting only that one

[humble tree]

is 581.57 good

[peak swan]

Oh yeah, i remember for a few weeks when you'd install the amd driver, the screen would just go blank
That's the first time i switched to linux for a bit and i now hate windows with a passion

[rigid fjord]

they don't though, if anything microsoft actually makes money from vlk's and other software, not from new builds/prebuilt systems

[north peak]

i hate windows to but i cant play valorant fortnite the crew 2, siege, marvel rivals, or use davinci resolve or luminar neo or some other adobe programs on linux so im kinda forced to windows

[rigid fjord]

ah, then yeah, this should be fine for that, though double check on the specs for the ODB II software

[peak swan]

Before windows, Microsoft made accessories for Macintosh computers

[drowsy isle]

Had it on my 5080 and had no crashes or issues. Currently my 5080 is missing but overall it ran smoothly.

[sage ocean]

All it does is scan the codes and send signals to the ECU if connected its not like video editing software

[humble tree]

how is bros 5080 MISSING

[plucky frost]

how do i get custom keycaps? i need nordic layout, cant seem to find any reputable sites

[rigid fjord]

i bet that partially due to windows trying to download/overwrite drivers that's already downloaded

[peak swan]

Davinci resolve works great on linux
And adobe slop can work with a few workarounds

[rigid fjord]

either make them, get someone to make them or a ton of research

[drowsy isle]

The state of my pc now currently locked out of windows too

So can’t even use the igpu

[peak swan]

Buy blanks and laser etch them

[humble tree]

why what did u do 😭 😭

[rigid fjord]

even still, the software will have minimum and recomended specs for it's use

[humble tree]

looks amazing btw

[plucky frost]

okay, ill buy laser etching machine

[plush wren]

wtf are those fans

[rigid fjord]

you can always use resin instead

[peak swan]

I caused the ram shortage

[plush wren]

[charred hare]

https://fintechmagazine.com/news/how-is-mastercard-preventing-payment-fraud-at-scale

[north peak]

from what ive read its missing features

and the games are kind of the main problem

[peak swan]

vm with gpu passthrough?

[drowsy isle]

6x Thermalright s12 reverse. I’m not spending $90 on fans since rgb is off most of the time

[rigid fjord]

just remember, it's always morally right and correct to pirate adobe software

[plush wren]

https://tenor.com/view/balls-gif-15494216853001712776

[north peak]

im pretty confident valorant will ban me for that one and also that seems like too much effort, atp id just put up with ms bs

[peak swan]

Like for the most part personally I've switched to linux, and i mostly touch windows when i do fuckery with phones or when i wanna sell a pc

[rigid fjord]

[plush wren]

they prob wont let u run the game

[drowsy isle]

Even though windows has some bullshit issues, I’m stuck with it since there isn’t anything better for me

[plush wren]

actually most definitely

[peak swan]

I mean kernel level anticheat goes against linux ideology because it essentially works similar to malware

[plush wren]

cant u just directly edit the linux kernel and evade it

[peak swan]

I might have to make a custom linux kernel lol

[north peak]

im not doing allat😭 i aint that good at tech

[peak swan]

I love manky only Android phones

[north peak]

arent most anticheats some form of kernel anticheat? ik valorants is really bad but i think the one epic games uses is kernel too

[plush wren]

i heard someone modified their linux kernel and added new api calls to interact with physical memory

[plush wren]

yea epic games is eac

[peak swan]

I mean anti cheat on linux wouldn't work because just recompile the kernel with a backdoor into modifying ram or whatever and yeah

[north peak]

ig

[plush wren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoLtvFKOZzY

[north peak]

idk what a solution is, i just know that there isnt really a great effortless one rn

[drowsy isle]

Love it when a percentage ruins the experience for everyone else. Now companies force an invasive anti cheat that you’re almost forced to accept in order to run the game. Same applies to drm like denuvo

[plush wren]

just dont play

[north peak]

cheats still exist though and many use them

cs2 cheats are still free and work great

[plush wren]

not really

friend got banned for using a free cheat for cs2 lol

[north peak]

thats only an account ban

[plush wren]

yeah but whats the point of buying a new prime acc every couple of days

friend with a paid cheat also got vac'd

[north peak]

ive played with 2 of my friends who were cheating and I dont think got banned for a while, on got banend after a few hours

[north peak]

idk to crap on ppl ig

Yall what laptops should I consider in the ~1100-$1300 range?

[indigo bough]

With fans in my case, ive got space for 3 360 units, and one 120 in teh rear i believe. thing is,my gpu has a 240mm radiator and fans ofc, then the same for the cpu cooler. it comes with 4 ARGB fans, just wondering one, if its a good idea to swap all the fans to ARGB, or 2 just swap to all black, or should i just turn off the rgb all together since my radiator fans dont have the rgb

lots of wafflinf, i hope that made sense

[empty quartz]

Im not 100% sure if i wanna keep using my 2016 13” mbp touchbar (4 thunderbolt ports)

Its great, but i have something that makes it seem like you’re comparing a 15 year old laptop cpu to a modern thin and light

@robust trail

The one advantage of the old mac is the keyboard, as unreliable as the 2nd gen butterfly keyboard is, its amazing to type on

[sinful cobalt]

useless for gaming

[empty quartz]

What cards

And what use

[marsh relic]

also theres no tidy way to organize this anymore? i had it so nice and neat on W10 :/

Do I need to use retention bracket on am5?

[empty quartz]

If you need ai perf, get nvidia

[north peak]

yeah ik that but i cant really buy anything rn

i bought my pc with the intention of video editing and gaming, not ai training

[clear canyon]

you should of gotten nvidia for video editing

[north peak]

no way a 4070 is better than a 7900xt for video editing (they were both the same price when i bought)

just based on the fact that davinci is often using almost all 20gb of vram tells me that the 12gb on the 4070 would probably be slower

[empty quartz]

It would be faster

You’d be surprised

[snow inlet]

any recom for 2 tb ssd?

[empty quartz]

Sata or nvme, and if nvme; what gen

[snow inlet]

nvme , is gen 5 even worth it compared to price, and will the mother board accept gen 4 in gen 5 spot?

gen 4 is good

[empty quartz]

Teamgroup mp44l

I personally use one, and they’re great

[snow inlet]

nice

[sinful cobalt]

gen 5 is thermal throttling region and no- you dont need it for gaming

I can upgrade later

There is 1 pcie 3 nvme that thermal throttles more than a gen 5

That’s all I need to do?

[gritty walrus]

Can the RTX 5080, 32 GB of RAM (I was going to get 64, but RAM is extremely expensive), Ryzen 7800X3D, and 2 terabytes run 4 K?

[nova creek]

Not really no lol, especially not for gaming

[empty quartz]

Yeah

[sinful cobalt]

yes

[lofty raft]

Yes and no. It depends

[nova creek]

Any settings to change? Will it turn itself off or literally that’s how easy it is lol

[sinful cobalt]

iirc if the laptop isnt doing anything, closing the lid will make it hibernate after like, 5mins (?)

If it is then it’ll keep doing what it is

[empty quartz]

Go into control panel, and look for power options

[nova creek]

Nice. Thanks

[gritty walrus]

Roblox and Sekiro?

[lofty raft]

Settings > System > Power & battery ->"Lid & power button controls"

[lofty raft]

MSFS24 ain't playable at 4k wit 5080

For example

[gritty walrus]

I don't need Ultra with ray tracing. I usually run high or medium. I think most games will be playable bc I can use DLSS and MFG.

[lofty raft]

When we consider all games, sure - 99% of them are playable at 4k

But we are talking about newer games for those 16gb VRAM is too little

Not every single one, but you know what I mean

[gritty walrus]

What settings though

There's no way games will take that much on low or med

[lofty raft]

What's the point then playing at 4k ?

[sinful cobalt]

which is hella niche affecting 16gigs only at ultra settings

[lofty raft]

Sure, you can use upscaling and FG (in some games), but lowering settings is not the point of spending ~$2000 for a PC

[gritty walrus]

I usually play Roblox bro. I might occasionally play games like Sekiro or Elden Ring but those look well optimized.

[lofty raft]

7900XTX still exists. Or just wait for Super release

[gritty walrus]

I was gonna get that but I searched it up and the RTX 5080 is better.

[lofty raft]

Between 5070ti and 5080 is not much difference besides price

[nova creek]

In hibernate and sleep modes no games download right?

[lofty raft]

It's kinda obvious

[gritty walrus]

Doesn't that have 12gb of vram?

[lofty raft]

5070 12
5070 ti 16

[gritty walrus]

oh

[lofty raft]

Super will get +50% VRAM

[gritty walrus]

What's the difference in performance though?

Is the rtx 5080 a lot better?

[lofty raft]

Like 8-12%

Depends from game

[gritty walrus]

Roblox?

Elden ring is Lowkey high quality

[lofty raft]

This shit runs on RX570 🙂

[gritty walrus]

What abt Elden Ring?

[lofty raft]

Don't have all the data in my head

[gritty walrus]

I kinda want a good pc, so I don't need an upgrade.

[lofty raft]

YouTube will help you find out

[gritty walrus]

A rtx 5080 is probably overkill for Roblox but I ain't going to have to upgrade for like 5 years

[lofty raft]

You will cry when Super release comes in Q1 2026

5080 with 24GB VRAM makes sense

[gritty walrus]

I don't think they make super cards for the 5080

[gritty walrus]

That's def gonna be like 2k

[gritty walrus]

Probably not worth it

[lofty raft]

5080 ain't worth tho

Buy a 5070ti when you must

[gritty walrus]

big number

But if you are right I'll probably get the 5070 ti

[lofty raft]

9070XT also a great price/performance card

[gritty walrus]

but

4k needs a lot of upscalers

Dlss and mfg look very good

[arctic field]

That's a thing one runs model fine-tuning on but not games

[lofty raft]

Like 5070ti and 5080 only 16GB VRAM

[lofty raft]

Don't see the point (for now).
Why don't you just buy a WQHD Monitor?

[junior elk]

sup guys i just got my new hp laptop for my birthday and dont laugh but it only has 4gb of ram but still it is very new (it has a,i 365 thing type of new) but am struggling to get use my ram to its full idk thing

am trying to turn on xpm i believe i forgot what is was called

[gritty walrus]

I don't know what that is.

[junior elk]

but everytime i try advanced settings my laptop makes this horrible beeping sound

Not 2160p (UHD)

[junior elk]

i got a limiter on my ram but i turned it off

now what do i do to make sure i get everything and best peformence

[gritty walrus]

Im getting 4k

144hz

[lofty raft]

How in the world can a new laptop have only 4GB of RAM?

[junior elk]

welcome to hp

[arctic field]

Are you sure you have 4gb of ram, does BIOS reports it as well

[junior elk]

i mean i did get it from argos for very much money it was 160 pounds

[arctic field]

Because if you are, Windows is going to be much of a pain

[junior elk]

windows is moving smooth as hell for me and its 11

[lofty raft]

Maybe it's a chromebook

[arctic field]

I doubt that thing would have XMP bro

[junior elk]

i think its new because first its windows 11 and its got that copiolot button

[junior elk]

we dont mention such

screen is very big aswell 14 inch

let me see the model

[lofty raft]

Model name please

[junior elk]

imagine if i accidently got the dumb school version

tbh the school version is alright i did have one

ANYWAYS

it is called

[junior elk]

[idle spear]

[junior elk]

yup

[latent pasture]

probably this thing called lying

[arctic field]

did microsoft sneak cloud gaming into msstore somehow

[junior elk]

but this cant be a dual core your right for something so new

it runs so well it cant be a dual

[arctic field]

i haven't used windows in the last 2 or 3 years so i genuinely don't know

[clear canyon]

if its a Celeron, then its a slow duel core cpu

[latent pasture]

just view task manager bruh

[junior elk]

it somehow even survived cyber punk at 60fps and fairly good quality

[junior elk]

okay 🙂

[clear canyon]

10000% doubt

[arctic field]

yeah, sure

[clear canyon]

ur now trolling

[junior elk]

[clear canyon]

an Rx580 struggles to play 1080p low, and its eons better than ur laptop

[junior elk]

i never asked the owner on what he did to it but he was kinda sad selling it?

who would be sad for this?

[clear canyon]

[junior elk]

[junior elk]

[lofty raft]

Just buy a 16GB single stick and you fine

[clear canyon]

Shift + Win + S

[junior elk]

lmao probably windows trying to convince me'

[clear canyon]

if you dont know how to take a screen shot, stay away from the bios

[junior elk]

i mean to be fair i dont want to go back in there it looked like some gaming future crap

[lofty raft]

PRT SC

[junior elk]

idk it kinda sounded like yk when someone says to you like you got a sleeper build in the gym

[latent pasture]

nah ur just high or lying

[junior elk]

this guy was fucking saying its a sleeper or wtv hes on

like how tf can a laptop sleep

thats the dumbest shit ive ever heard

[chrome portal]

Hey, I know it generally agreed that it's best make your build when you have enough money and buy all at the same time, but are there any pieces such as the case or the fans that you could buy ahead of time? Maybe even the RAM?

[junior elk]

but i have my screwdrivers so i will open it up tommorow or now?

[clear canyon]

dont open it up

[latent pasture]

they were hyping the laptop up bc u got sold something that sells for $150 brand new but u got it used

[junior elk]

why is there a hp monster living inside is it going to eat me?😂

[clear canyon]

no bc u dont know what ur doing

[lofty raft]

Buying RAM now is not wise 😉

[clear canyon]

ur gonna break ur 90$ laptop

[junior elk]

oh dude i do know about screwdrivers and that ive done contrusction for past 3 year of my life haha

[clear canyon]

[junior elk]

[clear canyon]

[south arrow]

Oh 2 core is gonna be a bad time

[clear canyon]

[junior elk]

[latent pasture]

[clear canyon]

[chrome portal]

?

[junior elk]

[south arrow]

Maybe, this we will have to see economy is taking a cruddd

[latent pasture]

ye imo the buy all mostly applies to the main performance parts like cpu gpu ram mobo etc

i doubt buying case fans matters now or on date

[lofty raft]

Too much german in my head

[chrome portal]

Cool what else might not matter as much

[chrome portal]

Lol

[junior elk]

so after its surgey

i discovered a few things

1st i didnt see a single intel thing i saw like this snap thing though

who would want a snap?

wouldnt it just break on you

[clear canyon]

you should not be opening your laptop up

[junior elk]

well i did it and closed it up

i saw that force thing aswell

[clear canyon]

"force thing" you aint explaining anything

[junior elk]

idk like that force thing you said eariler

[clear canyon]

?

[junior elk]

ah yes gforce or something like that idk

looked like junk'

i got to stop buying bad things by accident

[real quiver]

The last laptop I "opened" was a chromebook I smashed over my knee

[grizzled frost]

last laptop i opened was an HP pavilion x360 that i hated with the burning passion of a thousand stars

i was praying i would break it by opening it

[south arrow]

Unless your adding ram or storage to applicable models or cleaning the heatsink/fan no need to open ones laptop. Or for funs ofc

[stark spear]

Waddup guys

[real quiver]

I was going to open my Lenovo to throw some more ram at it but according to the spec sheet it's soldered to the board

Thanks lenovo!

[south arrow]

Chilling slowly cleaning

[sinful cobalt]

apparent ms is finally fixing the “update and shutdown” to actually shutdown instead of restarting the OS

[junior elk]

ah yes you reminded of my old junk laptop

it was a 360x book or something

[junior elk]

it was just some junk made for 2020 covid so

[real quiver]

Tell them to fix the goddamn organization login pages

[south arrow]

We work with what we got

[stark spear]

Yeah I had Monday yesterday, now it’s Tuesday for me which is slightly better than Mondays but still not great

[lofty raft]

Me too

[clear canyon]

yeah :(

[stark spear]

Why do I have not hope for this to happen

[south arrow]

Yours is actually good at least

[clear canyon]

yeah lmao

[south arrow]

My desktop situations alittle diffrent

[real quiver]

Can I permanently borrow a gpu

[south arrow]

Still funny the size diffrence on two diffrent models both being a 5090 but the zotac although smaller has a 3rd slot

[lofty raft]

Like polish style borrow?

[real quiver]

Tactically acquire

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/spy-spying-binoculars-observe-look-gif-5325326

[sinful cobalt]

Its no double 5090 but its a stack of the 3, switched the 5080 AM black to 5090 AMI- just never updated the photo

[south arrow]

I also really liked my 4080s and even the 3070 was decent for what it is. Just keep on growin

[stark spear]

So guys what’s the next generation to look forward to, next gen Ryzens?

[real quiver]

I just went and looked at buying a carton of cat6 but for some reason they sell it in quantities of not quite enough or way too much

[clear canyon]

no one knows

[south arrow]

Both are good but we are all waiting for leaks

[real quiver]

We're waiting for affordable gpus

[stark spear]

I more meant like is anything else I the horizon or not really

[clear canyon]

idk

[south arrow]

We wishhh

[lofty raft]

Hopefully IMC will not be shit this time

[real quiver]

The impending ai takeover

[stark spear]

Me too man, but thats not happening anytime soon

[south arrow]

With the current price of ram.. odds aren't looking amaze balls

[stark spear]

IMC?

[sinful cobalt]

I liked the 5070Ti Aero but it was massive for a measly 330w

[dusk patio]

sakura GPU 🔥

[lofty raft]

Memory controller

[south arrow]

We take the chonkyy units

[real quiver]

Storage is also starting to go up too

[grizzled frost]

Integrated Memory Controller, basically what determines what memory speed you can run at

[stark spear]

Integrated Memory Controller I assume

👍
