[real quiver]

You know what I just realized

[lofty raft]

Earth is not flat

[real quiver]

I think all the fans on my rad are installed backwards and are trying to turn my case into a vacuum chamber

Oops

[stark spear]

Bro

[dusk patio]

send a picture

[sinful cobalt]

5080 Aero, 5070Ti Aero then a 5090 AMI

[real quiver]

It's trying to pull air from the top of the case when it should be exhausting up there

[sinful cobalt]

I stole the 5080 aero pic btw

[lofty raft]

It's physically impossible.

[south arrow]

Its reallll noiceeee

[real quiver]

For the fans to be installed in the wrong direction?

[lofty raft]

No, vacuum

[real quiver]

Oh that was a joke

[stark spear]

Is DDR6 in development yet?

[lofty raft]

Yap

[grizzled frost]

the spec is already complete

has been for years, and it's almost certainly already been through years of development

[south arrow]

My lian li 217 has to much air flow potential lol

It can really move some frigging air with the aio setup it's a loud beast (ofc is can set curves but i like to be breazy)

[stark spear]

Cool, when that goes retail will be pretty interesting

[sinful cobalt]

dis is the 4080 Yeston Sakura Sugar that I also stole the pics

[real quiver]

I want noctua fans but I do not want to pay noctua prices

[grizzled frost]

meh it's nothing all that special, just 2x the bandwidth

[real quiver]

I sleep with my computer running

[south arrow]

Dont we all lol want noctua to be cheaperr

[stark spear]

Yeah true

[dusk patio]

I know so many people irl who would probably buy this if they could afford it

[real quiver]

I should just go in and mess with my fan curve

0 rpm until it hits a certain temp

[south arrow]

My lady fs

[dusk patio]

honestly I like graphics cards with anime designs on them

[sinful cobalt]

his 4080 yeston cost x2 more than this 9070xt

[south arrow]

Pshshhs jobany

[lofty raft]

We have Arctic

[dusk patio]

damn it's such a cute card tho

[stark spear]

Also what’s your guys thoughts on Windows and it’s current state and quite obvious consecutive occurring issues

[south arrow]

Well thats what's on all my builds but still would be a fun to have

[stark spear]

Like it’s at the point where I don’t understand what Microsoft is trying to accomplish

[nova barn]

am i the only one who upset that cellphone got wirless charging to me magsafe wirelese batry pack shuld not have been made and instead cellphone havea univesal swap able battry or 2 by law

[lofty raft]

I have a BeNoctua! CPU cooler. Wanna see?

[south arrow]

I doooo i dont explore many other brands of cooler tbh so always good to see others setup

[sinful cobalt]

My build has gone through 6 GPUs

[stark spear]

Define gone through….

[sinful cobalt]

4070 Super, 5070Ti, 5080, 9070XT, B580, and now a 5090

[south arrow]

If she works ya know

[stark spear]

Thought that was a Lego CPU block for a second

[sinful cobalt]

ok the b580 went into the ch160 anyway so like

that was a temp card

[stark spear]

Crazy

[south arrow]

Always dig their fans think 5nails has a nearly full noctua setup rn, breezy no doubts

[dusk patio]

universal phone battery designs are not gonna happen with today's manufacturers

[nova barn]

it what i wish uk forse witha large foot

[sinful cobalt]

Literally all of those cards other than the 5090 didnt give me enough horsepower

Well, 5070Ti and 5080 did with MFG but really they were the same card

[stark spear]

Ok bro what is your work load or games you are playing

[lofty raft]

The main game is Time Spy

[stark spear]

Overclocker?

[dusk patio]

the EU could barely manage USB-C, I don't think they can do it for batteries. also, swappable batteries would be a nightmare for water resistance potentially

[nova barn]

and the uk would say if you neeed water proff you get that very low end phone and use it as second phon and dont compain

[stark spear]

I personally just don’t think it makes sense with modern phones

[nova barn]

i full disagree rember i am talk about ti hapen 20 year ago

[sinful cobalt]

i upscale po-kemon from 720p to 16K HDR

[nova barn]

and we all use to same as slice breed

[south arrow]

Ope

[nova barn]

so you dont care about all wast move power from one battry to another how sad

[stark spear]

lol

[dusk patio]

yeah personally I don't care for swappable batteries, because I'll keep the phone long enough for something else to be an issue first

[nova barn]

tthe avange is you could swap in 10 second and have a full charge battry and since it 2

[south arrow]

How hmmm

Very curious

[dusk patio]

batteries are recycled now at least

[nova barn]

how do taht relate i am talk about if battry still good it move to next phone and so

[stark spear]

Swappable batteries would be very helpful and good but it won’t happen without setbacks or expenses

I gtg

[south arrow]

Never seen a full movie able to be posted before

[oak trail]

well now you have

[south arrow]

notes

[lofty raft]

27 years ago I left my phone outside and forgot about it. After 2 hours of rain I took it back, I dried it and it was fine. Imagine doing that with a 2025 device.

[south arrow]

The rice fairys

[dusk patio]

personally I wouldn't want to swap an old degraded battery into a new phone

[nova barn]

again they can be made water proof samzun have a rugget phone that water proof and swap able battry they are just cheap and put a bad cpu in it

[south arrow]

Fixing Nokia left in the rain since 2002

[nova barn]

i am not just talk about 1 my system

you have 2 or more

likea family could have one 6 charger and 8 battry for 4 phone wiht one spare

[lofty raft]

My was 1996 or 1997 Nokia 2110

[south arrow]

XD

[dusk patio]

why would I need more than one battery if my one battery can last me like 2 days with a full charge

[nova barn]

and no more repalce it just because it 70% help

[clear canyon]

hotswapping batterys is kinda dumb ngl

[nova barn]

that you not every one

[left dove]

matt it's been over a month now about this tirade about swappable phone batteries

[clear canyon]

ik, dude cant learn a new topic 😔

[dusk patio]

I think if people really wanted this, manufacturers would have done it already and people would be using them

[clear canyon]

its either phones or his dad

[left dove]

you can't keep claiming "everyone" and then denying everyone else's experience as "its just you", it doesn't work like that

[lofty raft]

But you can still make a call with it. What else matters

[south arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/smartphone-smoke-hot-battery-samsung-gif-27530139

[lofty raft]

It's fine

[south arrow]

I mean they dont seem concerned

[dusk patio]

it's like "we should force manufacturers to do this thing people don't care about!"

[clear canyon]

bros got the digital version of this gif

[sharp narwhal]

I feel like my phone could handle 2 hours of rain

[clear canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/fire-writing-gif-24533171

[nova barn]

you have not deal with a power bank on a trip it was not fun have the cord come use or deal with lug it aroudn becuase phone ran out at 4 pm

[left dove]

Nobody wants a high-end phone with swappable batteries when external batteries are a thing

do you have any idea how much tooling & molds cost just for one mass-produced phone??

[south arrow]

XD

[clear canyon]

get a better phone

[sharp narwhal]

Ive literally dropped it in a hot Epsom salt bath a dozen times now

[sinful cobalt]

what that fuck doesnt realise is that if that happens the amount of people who would treat those “easily replaceable” batteries as a one time use and throw them out

[left dove]

thats just you, not everyone else

[nova barn]

shut up not eveyr have mony to get a better phone

[sinful cobalt]

and no im not listening to that guy’s bullshit

[dusk patio]

ok people aren't THAT dumb, especially with how expensive a battery would probably be

[lofty raft]

Like heavy rain or mid rain or just a few drops of rain 😉

[sinful cobalt]

yap

[left dove]

I think my phone's rated for shallow submersion

[clear canyon]

some call them replaceable battery's, I call them grenades as I stab it with a pencil and chuck it

[sharp narwhal]

Probably heavy rain tbh

[nova barn]

same thing could hapen witha phone

[clear canyon]

yet you say things no one wants :/

[left dove]

please go try putting a pencil through a modern phone, I'll wait

[sharp narwhal]

Modern phones are pretty decent on water resistance

[nova barn]

you are giving me a headake

[left dove]

you give us all headaches

[clear canyon]

[glass crest]

That doesn’t look normal

[dusk patio]

my Pixel 7 survived me dropping in in a sink full of water lolll

[left dove]

I love my pixel 7

[clear canyon]

you have an unpopular opinion, just how it is :/

[sinful cobalt]

everytime you’re in the chat the average IQ goes down by 10

[sharp narwhal]

I take a hot Epsom salt bath after the gym a few times a week and I've dropped my phone in it and then just rinsed it off under the tap embarrassingly often

[dusk patio]

my Pixel 3 was objectively worse, but I give it more style points

[left dove]

he's actually developmentally disabled, petty low blow dude

There's a difference between calling someone's stupid statements out and insulting a disability

[sinful cobalt]

no cause like holy fuck he’s been on this battery shit since like at least a month

[dusk patio]

I miss having dual front-firing speakers 😔

[glass crest]

Am I onto something or nah?

[lofty raft]

My Huawei P7 Mini survived VW Polo, the car literally drove on my phone and nothing happened

[clear canyon]

more like half a year for what I remember

[sinful cobalt]

every single time he’s in chat without fail its always about this battery bullshit

[nova barn]

and call some stupd just get then ignore

[worthy pumice]

Is Samsung EVO 870 a decent SSD for gaming?

[left dove]

I don't call you stupid, matt.

I call your ideas stupid

[nova barn]

same thing

[dusk patio]

that's 2.5" which can be a good upgrade for an older PC without an M.2 slot. I put one in my mom's laptop and it runs pretty well. If you have an M.2 slot, use that instead

[left dove]

not really but pop off queen

[glass crest]

I’ve been having a lot of crashes on my pc, I’m able to hear audio but both my monitors freeze, so I power off and turn it back on for it to work, does anyone have advice?

I use auto updates for windows/gpu/chipset
9070xt and 7800x3d
B650E WiFi Asus Mobo

[nova barn]

If your phone lasts a day, great. Mine does too. But when it doesn’t anymore, I’ll swap the battery in 10 second . You’ll be stuck with a $500 replacement or a repair shop. That’s the difference.

[glass crest]

Current bios version 2613 on Asus mobo

[clear canyon]

no one does this

just charge ur phone

[left dove]

yeah uh if my phone battery dies I'll just take it to a shop or upgrade

I literally do not care

[dusk patio]

the battery you're swapping won't be free though....

[worthy pumice]

I heard Samsung makes pretty reliable storage

Just figured I’d ask first though

[dusk patio]

generally yes, they have good warranties

[left dove]

samsung does make some good storage tbh

[dusk patio]

if you're buying an 870, make sure you get the EVO and not the QVO

[worthy pumice]

Getting an EVO

QVO wasn’t showing up anyways lol

but what’s the difference?

[dusk patio]

QVO uses a different, less reliable design

but is cheaper

IIRC the evo can nearly max out a SATA3 connection (fastest you can go with a SATA SSD)

[nova barn]

It just be 50 $

[clear canyon]

highly doubt that

[left dove]

just buy a new phone lol

[clear canyon]

more like 150+

[mental linden]

Ay is it worth paying 400+ for 64gb of ram or should I just wait till the end of the month

[empty quartz]

Omfg this display looks good

Fucking bright as hell though

[clear canyon]

hell no

[empty quartz]

@clear canyon this 1600 nit display is singeing my retinas

[clear canyon]

hell yeah

[empty quartz]

Even though my 16 pm is the same brightness, this display is just much larger

[nova barn]

Lies it 50 $ for that xcover 7 pro great phone for everything but that only 6 gig of ram amd low end cpu

[worthy pumice]

Bro just buy a new phone or a new battery otherwise just suck it up until you can afford a new one

[empty quartz]

What do you want 64gb for?

[mental linden]

I do ai work loads

[worthy pumice]

i’ve never actually heard anyone going above 16GB, i wonder what having 64GB would do

[empty quartz]

So you dont do anything important /hj

[empty quartz]

I am one of the few people who actually needs more than 64gb hence why my workstation has 256gb

[nova barn]

No you suck it up amd stop being a corporation sheep

[dusk patio]

I've used 16+ GB playing BeamNG.drive

[empty quartz]

Only?

[worthy pumice]

You’re complaning over a simple issue that can be fixed

What part of that makes me a sheep lmao

[empty quartz]

@dusk patio minecraft using 40gb

[dusk patio]

lol when I upgraded to 32GB, the first thing to use it up was when I had BeamNG + spotify + discord + web browser open

[mental linden]

Again ai work loads and video rendering

[clear canyon]

If its low end then its not a great phone

[dusk patio]

what the heck is using that ram

[empty quartz]

Just get 48

[empty quartz]

Minecraft

[clear canyon]

Render distance

[clear canyon]

The computer duh

[worthy pumice]

I had minecraft run on 512mb of ram in like 2020

💀

[dusk patio]

Bedrock could probably do that with half the RAM usage

[nova barn]

If it were truly simple, it wouldn’t require sealed designs, forced upgrades, and dismissive responses. I’m not complaining—I’m challenging a system that treats users like liabilities. You can call it simple, but I call it systemic.

[empty quartz]

:3

[mental linden]

It’s still a round the same price range

[dusk patio]

right click the graph, change graph to all logical processors

[clear canyon]

Ur not challenging a system, ur being annoying by saying the same thing in a discord server

[drifting urchin]

this still blows my mind

6 month difference, 350% price diference

what the actual fuck lol

[empty quartz]

Do you like being able to have your phone get wet and still work?

[clear canyon]

Bugrock is more optimized and does not use java lmao

[dusk patio]

C++ I know lol

[clear canyon]

But it has the fault of the player dying by existing 😔

[drifting urchin]

maybe its some old model they are no longer producing, but god damnit,

[empty quartz]

Plus the only company that really forces you to upgrade is scamsung

[worthy pumice]

Phones had replaceable batteries in 2012, man do I remember how dusty and nasty they could get inside under the cover

I call it ghost mode going through a nether portal block in the end

Or was something like that

Godbless microsoft for adding this necessary feature.

[limber nacelle]

oh thats what I have

[cedar hollow]

[cedar hollow]

is it the stock blower one

[limber nacelle]

im in literal agony cause I cant buy it but its cheap

[limber nacelle]

yeah

[cedar hollow]

do they ship

[limber nacelle]

idk ud have to ask them

[cedar hollow]

prolly on marketplace isnt it

[limber nacelle]

I would buy it if I had money but alas that isnt the case

[limber nacelle]

yessir

[cedar hollow]

oh 🐳
someone’s hooking me up with 2 4000 sff adas for $600 each

[limber nacelle]

oh thats not bad

[cedar hollow]

usd but ye

[limber nacelle]

less than I paid

[latent gull]

I enjoy that the only reason I ever hear about him anymore is just 100% the gay fish jokes

[limber nacelle]

yeah I paid a 1000 cad for mine, so closer to $700 for me

[sharp ivy]

Pro gaming pc

tis now fixed

was a RAM issue

[limber nacelle]

I mean if you trust me I could ship it to you, but I cant take any responsibility if it breaks during transport or smth

but tbh, I dont really feel comfortable with that cause that feels like a lot of responsibility

[opaque bay]

the other day i got so close to getting 95 to run on my 2008 computer but it just couldnt do it 😭

(this is as far as it got besides running in Safe Mode)

for some reason it runs DOS, 1, 2, 3, 3.1, 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 just fine just not 95 or NT 4.0

SO close to running every windows OS 😭

[carmine yew]

Weird challenge, but go you?

[fallow yacht]

y'all what should i change in openwrt

[left dove]

weird but neat challenge

[fallow yacht]

oh hi

[sudden marten]

so my plan is buy a 9600x from amazon for 188 then buy 32gb 6000 ram somewhere else for like 130-140, but newegg has a sale going on rn where i can get both a 9600x and 16gb ddr5 6000 ram for 202 total (all prices without taxes). so you think i should just do the 16gb just becuase its so much cheaper?

[cedar hollow]

yeah nah it’s fine i appreciate it tho

if you want just dm me the listing i’ll ask just in case

[limber nacelle]

yeah for sure, if someone i know buys it I'd feel better about it lol

Hi tech peoples, I need some help I am wanting to upgrade my GPU to something with more VRAM(as the amount I have is becoming a small problem and im using RAM as VRAM if your getting what im saying) I dont mind going team green or team red, Ive been thinking of either a RX 9060XT 16GB or a RTX 5060(yes I know there is an 15-20% bottleneck at 1080p) for refrence here are my specs:
MB: B360M
CPU: i5-9400
RAM: 16GB DDR4 2333mhz
GPU: GTX 1650
PS: 500W

Some of the games I play include Transport Fever 2, Cities Skylines 1/2 and Microsoft Download Sim 2020, yes I know they are CPU heavy aswell, but all the problems I have been having are GPU related.

[proper gull]

Stop using the bottleneckbullshit calculator

[pulsar obsidian]

👍

[dusk patio]

your current card is 4GB, even something like a used rx 6600 (8GB) would be a decent upgrade for way less money

[strange marlin]

Lets be real. That 1650 is still solid if you use it right. But for the games you mentioned... yeahhh... Id go for like.. a 20 series at minimum

[proper gull]

You're in need of a whole upgrade if you're going to get a current gen GPU...

[pulsar obsidian]

Money's kinda tight, I gotta go 1 part at a time

and id rather commit to something now

[proper gull]

Then I'd start with the bits that aren't the gpu

[pulsar obsidian]

Unfortunatly the used GPU market where I live is a pile of shit

[strange marlin]

Oof

[proper gull]

Oh a kiwi

[pulsar obsidian]

I have to buy something from a retailer

[strange marlin]

Okay.... You have the same board as me

[pulsar obsidian]

Yep

[proper gull]

I said that before reading your profile

[strange marlin]

I have an i7-8700, but its about the same as the 9400

[proper gull]

Our market is trash unless you want an rx580 or 1050

[pulsar obsidian]

I believe it boosts more

[strange marlin]

My gpu was mentioned

[pulsar obsidian]

Ha

[proper gull]

That 8700 has twice as many threads bud

[strange marlin]

It does, but not on the B360M, PLs are locked

Also mine loves to... have wonky turbo management

[pulsar obsidian]

I bought this PC back in 2019

but yeah with the games I play uhhhh

its showing its age

[proper gull]

Basically, your CPU is trash, your memory is... Basically trash
And that PSU does not inspire confidence

[dusk patio]

what's the price difference between a base 9060 and the XT 16GB in NZ?

[proper gull]

I doubt it even has enough pcie power cables

[pulsar obsidian]

1 second let me check pbtech

100 ish NZD

and we wont talk about this

[strange marlin]

I built mine in 2024, but its 2018 era parts

i7-8700, RX 570 8 GB, 48 GB DDR4-2666, 256 GB SSD + 2 TB HDD, 750W Corsair RM750x, Asus PRIME B360M-A, NZXT Phantom PHAN-002GR

[pulsar obsidian]

Bro def has a better PC than me

CPU and ram wise

[proper gull]

There aren't even any 9060 non XTs here unless I'm blind

Cheapest XT is 639

[strange marlin]

CPU was pulled from a fried Dell XPS that had a PSU fire. RAM was bought in a bundle with the case

[pulsar obsidian]

I have scoured the depth of PBTechs shitty search system and found nothing

[proper gull]

Pcpartpicker doesn't even show any

[pulsar obsidian]

Only way is amazon US I think

[proper gull]

It's not just our used market that is fucked

[dusk patio]

yeah the base 9060 is kinda not worth it anyways

[strange marlin]

Id kill for a base 9060...

[pulsar obsidian]

Yeah your basically forced to buy latest gen or a 3050

[strange marlin]

Something that doesnt make me look old by having 2017-2018 parts...

[pulsar obsidian]

I could go intel for GPU but.....

I dont think that would be a good idea

[strange marlin]

Latest B580 is decently priced for its performance

[proper gull]

Why?

[dusk patio]

the problem is that it has the same amount of VRAM as your 570

[strange marlin]

Probably better cores and processing power though..

[strange marlin]

Abt 440 NZD

[pulsar obsidian]

I mean

[proper gull]

You'd still need to upgrade everything you've got to run it

[pulsar obsidian]

Yeah

[dusk patio]

well yeah but it's not gonna perform as well at higher resolutions with only 8GB

[strange marlin]

My chassis boutta be a wind tunnel

[pulsar obsidian]

I am stuck with a nice atleast 1200NZD upgrade

[strange marlin]

Yeah and my monitor is capped at 60 Hz anyway

[pulsar obsidian]

I have 2 monitors

[dusk patio]

upgrade your monitor before your GPU fr

[pulsar obsidian]

this LG 30 inch 75hz monitor

and this AOC 165hz

all 1080p and LCDs

[dusk patio]

when I went from TN to IPS, it was like I was playing my games for the first time again

[strange marlin]

Not worth it

[pulsar obsidian]

hell nah

[strange marlin]

I have an LCD flat panel

[dusk patio]

if you're already getting 60fps, what's the point of a faster GPU then?

[strange marlin]

Chromebook beloved

[pulsar obsidian]

For me

I need the VRAM

[dusk patio]

I was saying for a 60hz monitor for gaming

[strange marlin]

So it wont throttle the system too much. If theres too much of a power gap between CPU and GPU I feel like itll not do too well

[pulsar obsidian]

With a GPU upgrade im just skeptic of a CPU bottleneck

[strange marlin]

Yeah same here, except mine is reversed

[dusk patio]

for reference, I have a 180hz monitor but almost no game runs that fast for me unless I'm using e-sports graphics settings

[strange marlin]

My CPU already has wonky turbo and doesnt handle itself very well, so I guess if its stable, dont touch it..

[proper gull]

https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/BCjPPJ almost 1400 if you want a PSU that's decent (fuck our options suck) and ram that doesn't suck

[pulsar obsidian]

I gotta get back to work

[dusk patio]

not a fan of the 5500

PCIe 3.0

[carmine yew]

5500 is a bad chip

[pulsar obsidian]

what the actual fuck is this

[proper gull]

Just threw the cheapest one on there without looking lol

[carmine yew]

Having half the cache and gen3 is rough

[strange marlin]

My oldest AMD chip is a QL-60 Athlon X2 Mobile

[carmine yew]

Numbers

[dusk patio]

the 5600 is way better but also usually enough more money

[pulsar obsidian]

I mean I could go to a rx7600

maybe

[dusk patio]

AM5 would be nice if you can afford to do it

[strange marlin]

Gen3 is still decent

[pulsar obsidian]

Gen3 is not trash

[strange marlin]

And this is coming from someone used to older pre-2015 hardware

[dusk patio]

apparently DDR4 is still expensive now? idek

[strange marlin]

Yeah, especially if you treat it right

[carmine yew]

Oop now, so that happens

[carmine yew]

It's not good anymore

Esp on 8 lane cards

[dusk patio]

you talking about PCIe? like it'll still work, but modern GPUs may run a bit slower

[pulsar obsidian]

not really that expensive comapred to DDR5

[strange marlin]

My guy

[clear canyon]

gen3 sucks bc you can get gen 4 for just as cheap ngl

but the speeds are meh

not good but could be worse

[strange marlin]

I got my hands on 48 GB of DDR4 RAM for like $20 CAD

[dusk patio]

any decent AM4 CPU supports PCIe 4.0 anyways

[carmine yew]

Used ddr4 might be the way to go

[clear canyon]

not true

[strange marlin]

3200 Corsair kit of 32 GB and a 2666 kit of 16 GB HyperX Black

[clear canyon]

most of am4 only does pcie gen 3

[pulsar obsidian]

AM5 is like double the price bu the looks of it

[carmine yew]

But you need a b550 or x570 to get gen4

[dusk patio]

look at historical pricing tho

[ocean axle]

They said decent

[clear canyon]

ryzen 3000 and up is decent

[carmine yew]

A520 or anything older is only gen3.

And b450 is still oddly available

[proper gull]

https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/ch4RDj

[ocean axle]

3000 and up (besides apus) are pcie 4.0

[dusk patio]

well yes, but if you're on a 3600 your CPU will hold you back before PCIe lanes do

[clear canyon]

wait 3000 is pcie4? nvm

[clear canyon]

depends on what you are doing with it

[dusk patio]

I forget which motherboards even support it anymore

[pulsar obsidian]

Do I really need a fully modular Power supply tho

[proper gull]

And besides the 5500 apparently

[strange marlin]

Im so tempted to build a PC around an old A8 / A10 CPU...

[pulsar obsidian]

ha pwoer

[carmine yew]

Hmmmmm

Fbm: R7 5700x 120$
R7 5800x 140$

Probably some room to haggle
Would be upgrading a 3700x

[proper gull]

no good PSU in anything above like 500w is non modular

[ocean axle]

That's an APU

[proper gull]

I thought those had to have an igpu

[dusk patio]

no, but modular or at least semi modular is often found even on cheaper PSUs now

[ocean axle]

Physically, it does

[carmine yew]

5500 and below are basically apu's without the igpu

[strange marlin]

Chat... gimme a good A-series CPU to use. I wanna make an AMD build. Think like A6/A8/A10 AMD

[carmine yew]

And none of this applies to ryzen 4000s. They're all weird.

[carmine yew]

None of em

[dusk patio]

everyone always forgets about ryzen 4000 lol

[pulsar obsidian]

So im guessing I shouldnt splash on a 9060XT

[strange marlin]

Answer not accepted

[fringe prairie]

can't forget about the 5700

[proper gull]

Do add to my previous message, the PSU on that list is the cheapest in stock model I'd recommend to anyone right now

[carmine yew]

They're all trash

[ocean axle]

Trash vs trash, what's less trash?

[strange marlin]

I wanna make a retro rig, I didnt ask for your opinion on the CPUs

[fringe prairie]

A core i3 12100f

[strange marlin]

No. You didnt read instructions either

[proper gull]

And if you're gonna upgrade in pieces, then I'd suggest it be the first piece

[dusk patio]

"retro"? surely that's not old enough to be retro yet...

[fringe prairie]

ask someone else then

[proper gull]

Since it's the one that can go straight in and work with everything else

[carmine yew]

Or your instructions are stupid and we're using critical thought

[strange marlin]

A10 and older is budget Im sure.. Considered old

[pulsar obsidian]

not cities one too......

[carmine yew]

3200g or 3400g

[strange marlin]

OR.. youre just used to modern rigs and find reasons to suggest modern CPUs

[fringe prairie]

well yeah because they're... modern

[carmine yew]

Anything am4 is still "modern"

[sharp sleet]

I am having an issue, but it is kind of difficult to describe.

[proper gull]

#1027757333117415424

[dusk patio]

imo it's in a spot where it's too old to be good, but not old enough that people really care to collect them yet

[sharp sleet]

Thank you.

[azure topaz]

respectfully you’re in the wrong here. even if you want to use a chip that old the 2nd or 3rd gen core i series are a much better choice

[carmine yew]

Beyond hands down better

[strange marlin]

Is the A10-9700 even considered AM4?.. Its 2016...

[proper gull]

There's no reason to ever use anything FX era from amd

[azure topaz]

i mean an 8350 is fun to play with if you can get it with a decent board for 20$

[strange marlin]

Okay so it is, cool

[carmine yew]

How can the chip's socket not count?

[proper gull]

2017

[strange marlin]

Was released in 2016

[proper gull]

No it wasn't

July 2017

[azure topaz]

but doing a build trying to use A8 processors and you don’t have a cheap one w/board available is L

[spring latch]

after approximetly i dunno how long theres now a GUI installer here

[dusk patio]

meanwhile my Ryzen laptop is 8c, 16t, 4.5GHz and consumes less power, too (Zen 3 btw)
we sure have come a long way from those CPUs

[strange marlin]

As someone who used a Toshiba Satellite S855D with an ancient AMD A-series CPU.. I beg to differ

[proper gull]

It clearly wasn't the A10-9700 then

There were many A series chips before am4

[strange marlin]

It was an ancient A8 I think, or older...

[fringe prairie]

5800u or something?

[proper gull]

Either you're a masochist or an idiot

[strange marlin]

My bad, A10-4600M

[proper gull]

If you had a good time using that you're insane

[carmine yew]

A series launched in 2012, way before am4

[proper gull]

I had a laptop with an A8-7410 it was garbage

[strange marlin]

It was my first proper laptop in North America ever since I moved here. It was a lovely machine, got me through high school

[carmine yew]

But as established, A10 and Athlon chips both exist on am4

[proper gull]

Your rose tinted glasses are blinding you

It was shit, you just didn't realise it at the time

[dusk patio]

7730U, which is nearly the same thing, but rebranded

[strange marlin]

My dude, Im speaking from experience

[azure topaz]

6 points in r23

[carmine yew]

Just buy a 3200g or 3400g and call it a day with a semi-functional chip

[fringe prairie]

nice

[strange marlin]

I moved on to an i7-8700

In between the A10 and the new i7... I had a LOT of old stuff

[swift moss]

what the hell

[carmine yew]

Rose tinted glasses are a hell of a drug

[dusk patio]

I've tried gaming on it just for fun, and the Vega 8 IGP is honestly pretty decent

[swift moss]

https://tenor.com/view/what-the-hell-gif-8356693125066769156

My guy. that A10-4600M was my only laptop

I was a broke student and that poor Toshiba was a dumpster rescue

[swift moss]

anyone using snapchat keyboard is not real

[fringe prairie]

7735u/6800u would've been nice

rdna2 based

but i mean for basic tasks 5800u/7730u is more than enough

[dusk patio]

yeah I know, but unfortunately I couldn't find any laptops with those here when I was looking

[slow sable]

hi ppl. can i get some help? my new m5 macbook pro is already getting slow

[proper gull]

Take it to the genius bar

[dusk patio]

define "getting slow"?

[slow sable]

it's struggling with video editing and running local LBM's for robotics

[slow sable]

they said it's fine

[fringe prairie]

running a local llm?

probably ram limited

[slow sable]

LBM

[slow sable]

it has 128gb

[fringe prairie]

what?

m5 maxes out at 32

[slow sable]

ohh mb

it's the m5 max

[fringe prairie]

that doesn't exist

[slow sable]

didn't even know it could come with the standard m5 tho

[fringe prairie]

m4 max?

[slow sable]

wait wtf

[slow sable]

i think i got scammed 🙏

the apple store told me this was the "new one"

[topaz shale]

[slow sable]

it's fcking m4 max 😭

[fringe prairie]

do something for me

[fringe prairie]

yes which is the latest max chip

i'd check to see if it's even that

[proper gull]

do actual research before you buy shit

[slow sable]

😭

[proper gull]

I guarantee there was a giant m4 Max logo on the label

[slow sable]

it's a whole ass year old

[topaz shale]

new pro isnt out yet broski

[dusk patio]

impossible for macbook owners tho

[fringe prairie]

m5 pro/max doesn't exist

[slow sable]

oh. so i have to buy another one then? like in a few months?

[fringe prairie]

so you do indeed have the latest one

[slow sable]

shite.

[fringe prairie]

idk when the next pro/max chips release

[proper gull]

Literally the first thing I see on the site

[fringe prairie]

probably january or spring time

[slow sable]

ohh then i have time

anyways why's it so slow tho?

[fringe prairie]

m4 max is no slouch though

[proper gull]

Probably a you issue tbh

[left dove]

"whys my brand new m4 max slow" WHAT

[clear canyon]

you can get parts that curbstomp a mac

is this a gen alpha thing....?

[slow sable]

No. I turned 18 2 weeks ago 🙏

dudes an infant

[slow sable]

[clear canyon]

a mac is just as expensive

[hexed tapir]

Still find it funny you got a MacBook and use davinci on it

[slow sable]

No? Maybe the desktops

[marsh relic]

youre very close to being gen alpha, the tail end of zoomers

[fringe prairie]

for like under $4000 you could get 285k and 5090 🤷‍♂️

Tf is a 285k?

I know it’s a cpu but like what is amd naming these

[marsh relic]

its not amd

[clear canyon]

I literally said intel

[slow sable]

What? But like my boyfriends pc has a 14900 and mine has like a 9400 so what happened to the numbers

[carmine yew]

Lololol

[clear canyon]

ur really behind lol

[carmine yew]

They changed. So what

[slow sable]

I haven’t bought a pc in like 3 years

[left dove]

that's evident

[marsh relic]

numbers on components dont always make sense, dont give them too much weight

[slow sable]

Like my one pc is 3 years old and kinda hanging on

[carmine yew]

AMDs naming is as bad, or worse, than intel's

[clear canyon]

the 285k is their i9

[proper gull]

Hahahahahahahaha

[left dove]

"3 years old and kinda hanging on" wat

[fringe prairie]

https://google.com/

[slow sable]

I mean it’s not as fast as before but it turns on and does its job

[left dove]

no pc or mac is instant

you want instant? buy an enterprise solution

[slow sable]

Isn’t it just ryzen 3,5,7,9 xxxxX3d or just xxxxX

[clear canyon]

x3d is not X

[hexed tapir]

Because final cut is a huge reason people go apple, and it would be one of the best running editing software because apple would know how to leverage their hardware for it

[slow sable]

My phone is tweaking out

[carmine yew]

Yes, but also really not

[slow sable]

They changed it too?

[clear canyon]

yes

[slow sable]

I just can’t figure out how to color grade on Final Cut plus I have a resolve studio licence

[carmine yew]

Amd released a decoder ring for their chips and architecture, and even that wasn't completely accurate

[left dove]

man bought davinci resolve while on a mac..

what

[hexed tapir]

Yeah lmao

[slow sable]

It’s not THAT abnormal

[left dove]

it's kinda dumb tbh

[hexed tapir]

Davinci

[slow sable]

Also I got a recommendation from someone I know

[left dove]

"I can't color grade in one app so I'm gonna buy something completely different"

anywhere in that thought train did you stop and think "maybe youtube could help me with color grading in final cut"

[clear canyon]

davinci is a good software, but final cut is better for apple

[carmine yew]

Intel doesn't have these:

[left dove]

or did you just see a big pricetag and let the salesperson speak nonsense at you about synergy for 20 minutes before you pulled out your credit card

[slow sable]

It’s called picking the software which best fits your needs and the right computer for your application. DaVinci has a much more comprehensive and powerful color grading workflow plus it is very well documented

[fringe prairie]

even worse now

[marsh relic]

any idea why this is happening when browsing on my pc? scanning the QR code on my phone just takes me right to the post without issue and all of my settings are set to "show all" for all content types etc

[hexed tapir]

He wouldn't use Apple software its too complicated

[slow sable]

Nope. I use mine for editing and CAD, as well as my daily driver. The only comparable windows laptops are 16” and like 2” thick and need to be plugged in. I got a Mac because it has decent enough performance and I can actually bring it around

And if not I can always remote access it on my air

[fringe prairie]

performant 14" laptops exist
for example: zephyrus g14, razer blade 14, omen transcend 14

[left dove]

my zephyrus g14 probably stomps your mac in a lot of workloads tbh

[fringe prairie]

also CAD on mac is ehhhhhh

[left dove]

can't beat the power of a dedicated gpu w/ cuda

[fringe prairie]

i guess if you use fusion

[left dove]

yeah and only fusion

wait does solidworks have a mac version?

[fringe prairie]

onshape maybe

[fringe prairie]

nope you'll need to use parallels

[left dove]

I should probably learn solidworks tbh

[slow sable]

Again, they are powerfull but first of all they suck on battery, get hot af and have shit displays. Maybe except the Asus

[fringe prairie]

all 3 mentioned have around the same battery life and have oled displays

[left dove]

my g14 has an oled display, gets 20 hours watching youtube, is under an inch thick, and only gets "hot" when doing an intense workload.

my guy whatcha babblin' about

[slow sable]

In 5 M series MacBooks I have heard the fan turn on maybe twice

[fringe prairie]

hot af sure but so does the m4 max in the 14" mac

[fallow yacht]

is that lunar or arrow lake i forgot

[slow sable]

No?

[fringe prairie]

in sustained workloads good luck

it's much worse than the 16"

[hexed tapir]

Cut the time in half with final cut

[slow sable]

Again I’m saying the battery sucks in workflows. The one advantage of ARM is efficiency

[fringe prairie]

the blade and zephyrus are strix point

omen is arrow lake

[fallow yacht]

forgot amd exists lmao

[fringe prairie]

the 2025 16" zephyrus is arrow lake though

[random gyro]

I hate my router smh

[slow sable]

That’s 4:2:2 30fps

[fallow yacht]

i've lost track on tech ever since intel's shit arrow lake release

[left dove]

all batteries suck in workflows because you're drinking back battery like crazy

[random gyro]

Anyone know about routers

[left dove]

"yes let me render on battery that's so smart of me"

[random gyro]

[fallow yacht]

what's your needs do you want more configuration or just plug and use it

[hexed tapir]

I'm just showing you that final cut works waaaay better on apple silicon

[random gyro]

I pay bill, it proceeds to not work

Works 99% of the time

[slow sable]

Idk what the official spec is but my Mac lasts hours. I was editing on my road trip and I was doing fusion in resolve and I still made it 5 hours of usage in a heavy workload and only used 45% battery

[left dove]

that sounds like an isp issue, not something that'd be solved with a router

[fallow yacht]

yeah

[fringe prairie]

doing fusion in resolve?

[random gyro]

ISP issue meaning

[left dove]

the people that provide your internet.

[fringe prairie]

i might be thinking of autodesk fusion idk

[slow sable]

Resolve works well on Apple silicon too, it’s a different export with massively different bitrates

[fallow yacht]

idk maybe his ISP router is shit sometimes

[left dove]

that would be a modem issue, not a router issue

[slow sable]

Even my MacBook Air with the standard m4 can do resolve fine at 6k

[left dove]

if pay bill = internet blip, that is an ISP-side thing

thats not a router thing, that's literally a backend thing

[fallow yacht]

forgot that only our ISPs give ONU routers instead of a modem

[fringe prairie]

why do you have two m4 macbooks what?

[left dove]

yeah give one to your bf quit hoggin'

[fallow yacht]

idk do other countries give out ONUs

you can lock the mac via find my

(auto) overclocked

[ebon marlin]

I ordered a tray cpu but I guess it's my fault I was expecting it to arrive in a tray like the one AMD uses in the boxed models the plastic clamshell trays

Can't tell if the IHS is supposed to levitate kinda

[sinful cobalt]

the tray experience

[fallow yacht]

FUCK

i snapped one of the screw threads

[sinful cobalt]

my friend’s came in a small box that the CPU was just snug in with a bigass plastic lmao

[ebon marlin]

Good thing this is a LGA cpu since if this was a PGA cpu I probably would've been fucked with no clamshell tray protection

[sinful cobalt]

AM4 problems

Guide: Take out the CPU cooler

Reality: Why not both

[ebon marlin]

Bropadoodle has been sitting here like this for the past 5mins

Brochacho definitely scheming something nefarious

[grim moon]

Going to do something catastrophic

[fallow yacht]

why is my cpu throttling man it's not even that hot

[grim moon]

i3

[fallow yacht]

it used to maintain like 3.8-4ghz

[toxic nova]

Large like 8tb

[sullen obsidian]

theres 15TB drives lol

[fallow yacht]

YES IT'S FUCKING FIXED

[ebon marlin]

Dual core aswell yummers

[sinful cobalt]

have fun on roblox kiddo

[fallow yacht]

i actually play cs2 but can't cuz my pc is shit

[sinful cobalt]

get a new pc frfr

just avoid aftershock if you’re indeed from singapore

[fallow yacht]

i'm not singaporean lol

wish i were

i'm 🇵🇭

[sinful cobalt]

oh ic

[fallow yacht]

SEAns connect to either singapore or HK or sometimes japan whenever they play roblox

[sinful cobalt]

I dont play roblox so I dont know

[fallow yacht]

well it's basically like any other game tbh

[sinful cobalt]

Well- Used to till a very old game straight up died due to outdated coding

[fallow yacht]

it's the same in other games

singapore, hk, or japan

only riot games has SEA servers outside of singapore

[sinful cobalt]

It feels nice having single digit ping here

Singapore server ftw

On valorant ofc

[fallow yacht]

oh you're singaporean

[fallow yacht]

lol if you play valorant we have manila servers now

[grim moon]

[sinful cobalt]

I have no idea at all

I keep getting malays, indonesians and indians barking into my audio

not racist or anything but they really bark the fucking most and loudest

[fallow yacht]

not filipino?

[sinful cobalt]

havent heard any filis the past year

[fallow yacht]

even before manila?

tbf they were on HK servers before

[clever laurel]

ryzen 5 9600x or ryzen 5 7600x?

[sinful cobalt]

honestly idk, maybe they were barking in chat

[fallow yacht]

yeah they're annoying

tagalog vs bisaya shit

[sinful cobalt]

unless they speak shit against me I’d just say “I cant hear you down there”

[pale flint]

😨😨😨

[fickle ivy]

How do I save save mp3 files with artist names and cover art? I'm young so I never had to use an mp3 player or something similar

[random gyro]

Sup

[random gyro]

I have a ryzen 5 7600 x3d, fast and great gpu

[formal sonnet]

https://www.mp3tag.de/en/

[fickle ivy]

Do you know of any options available for Android?

[zealous plover]

I'm trying to completely erase my external sata ssd but it is HOT

[magic marsh]

Cool it then

[formal sonnet]

No idea. I use a computer to manage my media files.

[magic marsh]

Use your body

[zealous plover]

🤯

How?

[magic marsh]

You have a liquid cooling loop installed by default

[zealous plover]

Dam that would be sick

RGB water cooled sata ssd

Mine uses brokie passive cooling

and I took out the thermal pads

I think its throttleing its only at 136 mbps

[fickle ivy]

Ah, my laptop still has an HDD so it would be pretty slow for that

[hoary tree]

Im continuing to build my phone collection

[jaunty apex]

Music files? What do you have 50 gigs or more?

Idk if this will work over MTP but you could try MusicBrainz Picard from your PC to edit the files on your phone, though I don't recommend it and again, don't know if it will even work that way. I also can't find anything like that for android though.

[rigid fjord]

noice dude

[rigid fjord]

7600x, same performance but usually always cheaper

[fallow yacht]

turns out that fixed the bufferbloat for me https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat?test-id=3989608d-e134-4932-85ec-fb919e8739e0

[rigid fjord]

i wouldn't say it fixed bufferbloat dude, it just increased the bandwidth your laptop had

[fallow yacht]

fym bandwidth

[rigid fjord]

you went from wifi 5 to wifi 6 yes?

so basically 300Mbps to suddenly 3000Mbps

[fallow yacht]

huh

it's still 300mbps mate

[rigid fjord]

that's your isp speed, not your network speed

[zealous plover]

Oh shat my ssd was doing a complete wipe, it was 133 mbps like 10 minutes ago now its at 60mbps

[fallow yacht]

oh you mean the max limit of my wifi card?

[rigid fjord]

essentially yes

your network speed is completely different from your isp speed

[fallow yacht]

ac 9461 is 433 mbps max

still above 300

[rigid fjord]

like ethernet =1Gbps for most people

[rigid fjord]

still wifi 5 dude

[fallow yacht]

well atleast it fixed the upload ping

lemme retest so that it's not a fluke

wasn't a fluke @rigid fjord https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat?test-id=3e18cffa-e777-41d0-8a78-3ef530c317d0

[rigid fjord]

yeah, an increase in bandwidth can do that

[fallow yacht]

lemme test controld

[frigid blade]

Guys

I just got an Intel iGPU partition working with Hyper-V

I’ve never seen it done on commercial cards with Hyper-V

This is so sick

About to run 3DMARK on the host and VM to see the performance loss

[stray portal]

Hi yall I'm stuck between an amazon echo dot 5 and a google nest mini 2. Idk which one to choose since the Alexa one has better overall assistance but the Google one will have gemini, and it works better with Google services (mainly all I care about is YouTube music).
What should I get? There's also cheaper options but idk about those

[fallow yacht]

tldr still sucked

[ebon marlin]

@rigid fjord any good cheapo 1440p monitor deals in UK?

this seem slike a good deal

[rigid fjord]

this looks good, though not sure on any deals for 1440p monitors, they've never been a thing i'd worry about personally

[fallow yacht]

guys is dnsbench even real

[tacit star]

Well. Will RX 6000 still be usable

[blazing glen]

Random question that is kind of dumb: is it bad for if my pc was in sleep mode when the power outage struck. Is he gonna do harm?

[winter badger]

[mint rock]

[ocean axle]

Not any worse than any other power cut, it's fine.

[vapid onyx]

Yall think this fx 5500 can still work?

[ocean axle]

That's just a retention clip, yes

[vapid onyx]

Alr im gonna test it then

[solar moat]

that clip dose not matter maybe other things wrong

[west matrix]

650w MSI MAG A650bn semi modular PSU enough for a 3070 TUF edition and R7 5700x?

[solar moat]

it shoud be fine

[west matrix]

thanks

[ebon marlin]

• Start an RMA after my battery is late thinking it's been lost in transit
• Hour later it actually arrives
• AliExpress asks for proof that it didn't arrive
• Ignore it
• still get refunded

[sick reef]

i had it and Vista/7 Aero lags

paired with Celeron D 331 (worst CPU ever of 2005)

[glass crest]

Guys I’m scared

I think I have a failing monitor omg

😔 😭 😭

[mint rock]

😔

tell the monitor to lock in

[mint rock]

oh

[glass crest]

The one flickering is the new monitor too

[vapid onyx]

Just realised i dont hqve any cooler for that old cpu.. need to diy

[glass crest]

Not even a year old

[mint rock]

how much was it

[glass crest]

1080p 120hz, like $100

[mint rock]

😭

[glass crest]

Or 144hz

[mint rock]

you got it champ

try and fix it

[solar moat]

I DID THE SAME

[glass crest]

I went to microcenter like 4x times prob like 6 months ago back to back because I had failing monitor in the past

[vapid onyx]

Will it run this?

[glass crest]

Got like 3x gpus, 7900xt, 7900xtx, to 9070xt because of failing monitor

[solar moat]

maybe

[vapid onyx]

I just need to snap off the plastic around it and place a nice tower cooler

[mint rock]

does the existence of microcenter imply the existence of bigcenter?

[glass crest]

I have no idea what u are saying

But I wish there were more microcenters 😔

[mint rock]

me neither, carry on

[glass crest]

It’s always crowded

[mint rock]

thats why, its micro

[mint rock]

hella real😵‍💫

[hearty shale]

please

[mint rock]

superlight when superheavy walks through the door, but awesome dude

[sick reef]

panel?

like TN, VA, IPS

[sick reef]

Oh. VA

[glass crest]

Bad?

[sick reef]

Most VA panels has black smearing

[glass crest]

I’m wondering if my other monitor could be the cause of this monitor flickering like that?

[sick reef]

So. Ghosting is VA problem

[glass crest]

Or could that just be severe system instability causing the flickering?

[latent pasture]

good va's dont
which is why va avoid for suspiciously cheap high hz or monitors u cant find reviews of

[sick reef]

It’s about VA ghosting

[hearty shale]

guys i need help

[midnight rampart]

Is running 3 16gb ram Recommended?
(5600)

Cause a friend of mine has 3 ram bow

[latent pasture]

are you extremely desperate for capacity
