[empty quartz]

2nd worst*

[balmy tapir]

worst is?

[empty quartz]

Usa

[violet briar]

whats the best gpu for around 300$?

[empty quartz]

Country, currency, and used or new?

[cold skiff]

I mean there’s India, China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Albania, Iraq, Sudan… but the two most developed English speaking countries are the worst

[violet briar]

Sorry, USA, USD, New preferably

[sick reef]

NVIDIA isn’t ending support for older than Turing?

[cold skiff]

Let’s also add Libya.. I mean that’s one of the worst in the world

[sick reef]

581.80 and still supports Maxwell and Pascal

Friend was loooking at this but there has to be better

[balmy tapir]

yea but br*tish

[empty quartz]

Ngl, @cold skiff if i had to choose between usa drivers, and drivers in uk; id choose uk

[cold skiff]

I mean you’re Irish. You wanted to be British until Europe promised to give you loads of money to take the euro

[empty quartz]

Out of all the drivers in canada, the americans on trips are the worst

[balmy tapir]

youve fallen for the classic blunder, im not even irish!

[cold skiff]

Haha

Tbh ace Spanish drivers are the ones to look out for

[vital marlin]

anyone know where i can find experts on apple numbers?

[balmy tapir]

wym

apple number?!

oh like the spreadsheets?

[vital marlin]

i have a weird thing im trying to do and im having trouble wrapping my head around it

[vital marlin]

yes

[balmy tapir]

um step 1 is use excel, step 2 is if you can't then you will probably suffer tbh

but on a more serious note what are ya trying to do?

ive touched numbers before but not much

[vital marlin]

im trying to get it so i can view 1 source table in multiples view s basically

[balmy tapir]

like view a table thats on sheet 2 on your sheet 1?

[vital marlin]

so 1 long source table (10 columns wide, ~100 rows long), then view A give only active items, Views B-D give me all the rows that have a matching value in Column G

[pulsar root]

Can I combine two brands of ram in my pc?

[balmy tapir]

i mean you could use if statements

[vital marlin]

not recommended, unexpected issues may occur

[pulsar root]

oh

context is i'm trying to upgrade the ram on my pc

[balmy tapir]

you can tbh

[random gyro]

sup

[balmy tapir]

if you mix speeds all your ram will run at the speed of your lowest stick

i personally have two different kits in my pc and have no issues

[pulsar root]

hmm i see

so what if brands are different but speeds same?

[balmy tapir]

i have a 2x8gb 3200cl16 and 2x16gb 3600cl16. my 3200 ram is unstable at OC so all 4 sticks are running at 3200cl16

[grizzled frost]

as long as secondary timings are the same, it’ll perform the same

[grizzled frost]

that is indeed what happens when you mix speeds and capacities

be glad you get 3200

[balmy tapir]

i am glad

i now have 48gb of ram, its great

really no issue mixing ram you just aren't maximizing the performance

i however like saving money

[pulsar root]

What does 'secondary timings' mean?

[grizzled frost]

less of an issue on ddr4

[pulsar root]

is it just speed?

[grizzled frost]

no

you know how it will be like 6000 cl30? cl30 being the CAS latency, there’s more timings beyond that in the description

[pulsar root]

How do I check the cl number

[swift moss]

new google colour is terrrribble

[cold skiff]

IF ONLY he knew

[vital marlin]

har har

[hexed tapir]

i had these bad boys running at 3800 cl 16 but my new 5700x3d didnt like that so now its cl16 3600

[spring raft]

Does anyone know where I can purchase long-ish 4pin fan splitters? all of the ones on ebay and amazon are 1-2in long

[hexed tapir]

https://www.newegg.com/p/1YF-000T-006N7?

[spring raft]

ty

[balmy tapir]

lol fun

[true drift]

why do i already miss windows 10

i only miss OSes after they die and when im not using them

its weird

[cold skiff]

What is with build a pc, giving the worst builds to some people lately

Recommending someone an 8700g for coding, video editing and game design. SMH.

[dull orchid]

do you guys think its a good idea to upgrade from 3070 to 4080 ( second hand used 1 year ) for 700 usd?

[random gyro]

is 600-1200 fps in minecraft good

[random gyro]

it wasn't that great tbh

[true drift]

eh fair

windows 7 was peak tho

that was my childhood OS

[random gyro]

fr, my personal first OS, although i did use XP as well

[true drift]

nice

i really wish windows 11 was good

i use linux now, and im pretty happy with it, but linux desktops dont look as nice as windows mostly

i found this live wallpaper plugin

the wallpaper is actually moving but this is an image

the stars flicker

[pale flint]

ok

[charred hare]

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMs5Fq89/

[jaunty apex]

hard disagree there

[pale flint]

it was actually elon musk himself disguised as chatbot

[jaunty apex]

On windows you don't have a license you can't so much as switch to dark mode. Much less all the shit you can't do vs KDE or cinnamon even if you do have a valid license. Change fonts anyone?

[mystic ermine]

How in the genuine hell does this even happen

[true drift]

i guess if you look at it that way i agree

[jaunty apex]

Should def check out some rices people do. By default yea it's a little boring but you can literally make it your own. Most like to use tiling window managers though I think. Why idk. Prob CSS nerds

[rigid fjord]

people have ways around this

[rigid fjord]

more often than you think tbh, the thinness of the metal being used on these have small tolerances

[jaunty apex]

I'm aware. Not officially though. Well depending, semi officially but not meant for end users.

[mystic ermine]

If it weren't press fit I'd probably just try to put it back together

[rigid fjord]

even if it was press-fit dude, these break so easily

[winged sky]

Skill issue.

[true drift]

?

i like my linux

[winged sky]

O sorry meant for this

[true drift]

oh ok

[jaunty apex]

P much tbh

[winged sky]

@true drift realistically, you can make your own personal perfect desktop if ya dig deep enough

[mystic ermine]

Gotta love that made on Friday at 4:59 quality

[true drift]

the only real reason i worry about windows is because the high marketshare it has compared to linux, i have no idea how it will differ in the future

if anything i want linux to gain a lot more users

because i absolutely hate windows as an OS

[jaunty apex]

That's a weird reason to worry about it

[winged sky]

I've moved to linux permanently fairly recently

Loving it so far

[jaunty apex]

One of my friends is moving in the next week or so

I moved over a year anda half ago, long time coming for me tbh

[true drift]

i maintain a linux distro so i care about what people use more than most lol

my take might be a bit odd but whatever

[winged sky]

I have windows 11 installed in a toaster to dual boot for the few games I cant play on linux. Other than that, a windows vm will take care of all my other needs

[true drift]

nice, thats awesome

[winged sky]

Which is only like 3 or 4 programs

[fallow yacht]

can i still use the laptop battery with a pin being broken

[true drift]

the m key on my keyboard isnt working very well

[winged sky]

It depends but I wouldnt

[winged sky]

nn

[true drift]

ahaha

[fallow yacht]

is this salvageable https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/381193783296917507/1435228388649472011/7479F982-C454-4F43-BF05-A5DF5DDAD31B.jpg?ex=690e7fd9&is=690d2e59&hm=bc26796f19add612be608458494336a0f6c3cf700680d22ad535008c555345fa&

[random gyro]

sup

[winged sky]

Not only is that not a clear enough photo for me to even see whats really damaged, id take it to someone who can replace it

[true drift]

the future of os market shares on desktops is very unpredictable right now

[fallow yacht]

the connector mate

[winged sky]

yes, I see it, im saying to take it to someone who knows how to replace the connector.

[winged sky]

Realistically, the average user doesnt even know what an OS is

[true drift]

right

[midnight wind]

windows

[jaunty apex]

Unfortunately yes.

[winged sky]

So, whatever ships on their devices is what they use

[jaunty apex]

Linux just hit 3%, so I mean there's an influx over last year

[winged sky]

And that will likely be windows for a very very long time

[winged sky]

Which is pretty good

[true drift]

we need more linux shipped devices

[rigid fjord]

nope, you just need devices where you can choose what OS is on it instead

[winged sky]

Framework method

[rigid fjord]

not just framework, there was another company doing it, but using different branded laptops tbh

system31 or something like that as the company name

[winged sky]

Ahh yea

I remember them sorta

[rigid fjord]

framework's method involves you being able to build the laptop yourself in some parts

[winged sky]

True

[midnight wind]

i feel like linux doesn't work very well when you throw someone on it who doesn't know how the OS works very well

[true drift]

my grandma uses linux

[midnight wind]

it was just a general statement

[pale flint]

you can install linux yourself

[true drift]

most people wont do that

[pale flint]

there are so many types of linux

so yeah

[random gyro]

takes effort lmao

[pale flint]

they wont know which one you want

[midnight wind]

if you aren't able to install linux yourself then i think it's pretty likely you might run into issues or be completely lost later on

[winged sky]

Yes but itd be nice to knock off the extra 100 for a windows license you arent gonna use

[pale flint]

using it also takes effort

not like eveyone's gonna know how to use it

[random gyro]

fr, which is why i stick with windows, and macos

[pale flint]

if you can use it you can install it

[jaunty apex]

System76 ye

[topaz horizon]

I leant that my issue isn't a thermal paste issue. my heatpipes are failing (no apparent damage on them) 😭

[midnight wind]

i think that gets your answer

[random gyro]

no, delete system 32

[winged sky]

[pale flint]

makes sense but yeah i have seen some devices without os?

[topaz horizon]

and ofc lenovo not selling spare parts in my country

[pale flint]

talking about laptops

[winged sky]

I mean its probably easier to ship them with a basic windows like linux install than have a no OS option

[pale flint]

linux aint paying them ¯_(ツ)_/¯

microsoft is

[winged sky]

[pale flint]

🥶

[topaz shale]

this night shot photo came out more interesting than i thought

welp dose not shock me 3GB chips are having shortage

[tacit thunder]

is anyone a chinese phone guy

[peak swan]

Hmm

I mean i have this idiot with me

Also idk, count the chinesium (pic taken with chinesium in the pic above)

[peak swan]

Zamn is this the first wireless earbuds to support basic lossless

For example Airpods Pro 3's are only 256kbps max through bluetooth

[scenic hill]

ive been reading all this linux stuff

[ebon marlin]

Huawei has developed somekind of new proprietary protocol for their devices called Starflash/Nearlink

[scenic hill]

why is linux better than windows, someone explain please

[ebon marlin]

Depends on the use case

For the average user it's abysmal dogshit

[scenic hill]

gaming, lets say

[ebon marlin]

It's already worse for gaming due to alot of the most popular games having anticheats which aren't compatible with Linux

If you only play singleplayer games then it could be fine

But I still wouldn't recommend Linux to the averahe user

[frigid blade]

Linux is better for anyone who isn’t the average user, meaning the 1% who do use it

[scenic hill]

i play things like cod, bf6, rust, tarkov, etc

[frigid blade]

Er, I guess 3% now

[ebon marlin]

Tarkov doesn't work on linux

Neither does Rust I think

[scenic hill]

rip, windows it is then

[hollow sorrel]

Why tf is razer shoving its software in my face

[ebon marlin]

I already run a linux ubuntu server and Fedora on my Steam Deck and I would not recommend linux for the average user

[frigid blade]

Android market share is dropping a lot

[ebon marlin]

Cause it's Razer what do you expect from dogshit

[scenic hill]

i was gonna install bazzite on my xbox rog ally, decided to return it instead lmao

[hollow sorrel]

I just needed a new mouse and bought something with good reviews 🤷‍♂️

[ebon marlin]

Bazzite is good for stuff like gaming handhelds I wouldn't recommend using Windows on gaming handhelds

[ebon marlin]

User reviews are irrelevant

[scenic hill]

itd still have been shite

@ebon marlin u know much about pc builds?

[ebon marlin]

Yeah

[hollow sorrel]

Well how else am I gonna know if its a good device without buying and trying it

[ebon marlin]

Not really unless you want to play tarkov and rust on it

[scenic hill]

id have liked to play rust

i tried and was getting 25-30 fps on min settings

[ebon marlin]

Genuine professional reviewers

[peak swan]

Hah
Happened again
Teacher confiscated my phone
But i have 2
Fuck you new Finnish law

2 steps ahead

[scenic hill]

750w psu
r5 7600x
msi b650
gigabyte rx 9060 xt 16gb
1tb nvme ssd
32gb memory

comes up to about £1050, this seem okay?

[ebon marlin]

Optimus does fairly in-depth mouse reviews

[rigid fjord]

logitech g502 hero, naturally, g305 after that

[ebon marlin]

Fairly sure you could do much better but uncertain because of ddr5 prices

[peak swan]

Correction: i have 2 with me today

[hollow sorrel]

Those are expensive, the deathadder essential I bought was £15 on a black friday sale

[rigid fjord]

use pcpp to show it

[topaz shale]

at what point is it worth it to just put the phone away and try learning

[rigid fjord]

£40 for either decent mouse is not expensive, and you bought ewaste

[hollow sorrel]

I don't do super competitive gaming anyways so mouse choice is mostly irrelevant as long as it's comfy to hold

[scenic hill]

a 32gb ddr5 kit is like 130

[topaz shale]

what is a mouse shape you have liked in the past?

[hollow sorrel]

I respect that that's your opinion

[rigid fjord]

well the g502 hero is comfortable to grip for me

[hollow sorrel]

g604 is about the only decent one I've ever had, but it broke out of warranty

[topaz shale]

oh ergo mouse?

[hollow sorrel]

Also had this constant double clicking issue, I'd click once and it'd register 2 clicks

[rigid fjord]

you mentioned gbp dude, you can use pcpp to show it off

[topaz shale]

idk if i would choose an ergo mouse shape for gaming but thats just me

i also have zero preference on mouse shape lol

[rigid fjord]

replace the switch then

[hollow sorrel]

It was pretty comfy ngl

[scenic hill]

i dont think they cover the website i have to purchase from

[topaz shale]

i am partial to Pulsar because they have been treating me well and the build quality of their mice is quite good

[hollow sorrel]

Anyways I've already bought it so not much can be done about it

[topaz shale]

they have some decent mid range mice around 50 dollars i believe

[rigid fjord]

they don't, but it can get you better offers for the parts instead for designing the build

[scenic hill]

i have to purchase it from that specific place lol

[hollow sorrel]

Also the rubber on my old mouse kept falling off

[peak swan]

I wasn't even in a lesson
Like i understand no phones in class
But they straight up also banned em in breaks and lunch
Like bruh

[rigid fjord]

that's absolutely stupid, what site is this?

[ebon marlin]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/kXRzqH
Rtx 5070 build for 995 pounds

[peak swan]

Anyway, uhh should i set up a view/comment farm? Lol /j ofc

[rigid fjord]

as several parts definitely need changing in that build @scenic hill

[thin plover]

I recently got a logitech mx 3s mouse and it feels a lot better in my hand than my g502 hero, although for gaming I still prefer the g502 as it's lighter, glides easier and I'm more used to the grip for micromovements

[ebon marlin]

But since you're playing Tarkov and Rust I'd recommend springing extra cash for a X3D cpu or downgrading gpu

I have 3.5k hours on Tarkov and a X3D cpu is a must

[rigid fjord]

tbf, the mx series are ergo mice for office use

[scenic hill]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/CMCDGJ @rigid fjord

what would u change, and why

i have to purchase it from Currys, as i have store credit for the site

[rigid fjord]

ah, ffs, curry's is the worst place for buying pc parts from

[scenic hill]

yup!

overpriced

[rigid fjord]

and fuck all for choices

[thin plover]

yeah, using it for my school laptop, but when I'm going to my parents in the weekend I always bring that mouse if I want to play games

[ebon marlin]

How much store credit d you have you could just buy 1 thing off of them

[scenic hill]

1000, lol

[ebon marlin]

Ay caramba

[scenic hill]

if i changed the cpu on the one i listed to an x3d itd be okay no?

[rigid fjord]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/6PfhVF better psu, case, ssd choice, ram and cheaper but same performance cooler

[scenic hill]

i can get all that from currys?

minus the memory as they have fuck all in stock

[rigid fjord]

most of it should be possible

[scenic hill]

they dont sell 7500f

[rigid fjord]

what you can't get from curry's get elsewhere, and what credit is left use on something else other than pc parts

i would possibly be more inclined on getting the gpu just from curry's using the credit

then everything from elsewhere

possibly the cpu as well

even if it's a 7600x being bought or an x3d one from there

[scenic hill]

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ @rigid fjord what about this

oops

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZYWfNz

[rigid fjord]

link fail lol

[zealous plover]

With a 9060xt 16gb is the ryzen 5 9600x that much better than the ryzen 5 7600x

[rigid fjord]

no

[rigid fjord]

i would just get the gpu and gpu from curry's nothing else

[scenic hill]

not really an option, theres nothing else on their site i would buy

[rigid fjord]

monitor?

[scenic hill]

i have 2

[rigid fjord]

a good mouse for backup?

[peak swan]

You can never have enough

[scenic hill]

i have monitors, dedicated usb mic, decent mouse/kb, decent headphones, mousepad etc

[scenic hill]

got a viper pro v2 as my main, then i have a deathadder as a spare somewhere

[peak swan]

I have 4 monitors at home (i only use 2 because yeah, i don't have a proper mount)

[rigid fjord]

so a shit mouse that's eesentially a hardware based root kit with keylogger as it's official software

[peak swan]

I think i should even be able to plug all of them into my pc

[rigid fjord]

i'd take a g305 over a viper, and a g502 over a death adder/basilisk

[scenic hill]

i dont think razer is installing viruses/keyloggers on my pc lol

[boreal tiger]

Hi

[rigid fjord]

then you've never read the smallprint

[boreal tiger]

My laptop battery isn't working took it to a shop and they said it can be repaired by repaired they meant they will change the lithium battery inside should I do it I'm kinda tight on budget and this one Is cheaper

[scenic hill]

source?

[rigid fjord]

they literally have it in their T's and C's

[rigid fjord]

T's and C's of synapse

[scenic hill]

okay?

whys that matter, if they wanna see what youtube videos im watching, so be it

[hollow sorrel]

It's a privacy invasion

Because I doubt you only use your computer for youtube

[scenic hill]

i dont really have anything to hide so

[hollow sorrel]

And I am uninstalling the software right now

Just using this mouse as a dumb mouse

[rigid fjord]

it's not just youtube, it's any site you use, including the likes of amazon, curry's, ebay

[hollow sorrel]

Everyone has things to hide, skeletons in their closets

[scenic hill]

thats fine

[hollow sorrel]

And other sites, like the hub iykwim

[scenic hill]

what are razer gonna do with that information, sell it to the russians?

[hollow sorrel]

Or the chinese

Or any other country

[rigid fjord]

razer = chinese as it is

[scenic hill]

ive used razer stuff for like 8 years, ive not been assasinated as of yet

[hollow sorrel]

I mean I'm finding my razer mouse just fine so far, but I am absolutely removing the software

[hollow sorrel]

With a keylogger and the like they know EVERYTHING about you basically

[rigid fjord]

product quality of razer products is questionable

[scenic hill]

heck I have a razer keyboard, mouse, webcam, mousepad, etc etc

[hollow sorrel]

All your embarrassing shit

[scenic hill]

ah yes, a massive coorporation like razer is gonna post what i had for breakfast and expose me on the internet, oh no!

[hollow sorrel]

So you're not the least bit concerned that your private information is in the hands of a company that might get hacked

[scenic hill]

nah

[hollow sorrel]

Then you are a fool

[wheat torrent]

the probability that we will have new gen computers (ddr6, am6, rtx 6000) before gta 6 releases on pc is pretty high right?

[scenic hill]

i havent got anything worth them taking, the amount of people who use razer, there will be someone with more important data than me, thats fs

[wheat torrent]

i've read articles that ddr6 is planned for next year and I would expect same for rtx6000, maybe am6 a bit into 2028?

[rigid fjord]

they've had a few data breaches, last one affecting 100k people

[hollow sorrel]

Let's assume the worst, razer gets hacked and some shady organization gets access to everything you've ever typed with your keyboard. This includes usernames, passwords, social security numbers, emails, pin numbers, all that stuff

[rigid fjord]

technically rtx 6000 already exists

[wheat torrent]

what is the name of the consumer rtx

isn't that ada?

[scenic hill]

if ur smart u 2fa on everything, so idc if they have my password

[rigid fjord]

rtx 6000, rtx a6000, rtx a6000 ada, all quadro card @wheat torrent

[wheat torrent]

but blackwell is also rtx 6000 pro now so you can't say consumer is blackwell

[hollow sorrel]

If you're not concerned about your own privacy online you're an idiot

[wheat torrent]

so consumer cards have no different name right now?

[midnight wind]

ain't no way

[hollow sorrel]

A smart hacker can get round that

[rigid fjord]

100k users already where affected by their last breach

[scenic hill]

and if they went through all that effort for little old me, id be honored

[rigid fjord]

yes way

never been fixed on this one

[hollow sorrel]

Except it's not just you, it's, as rauko says, several thousand people at a time

[midnight wind]

why do you like razer so much to defend alleged keylogging so hard

[wheat torrent]

tbh nvidia with all of their development cards, it feels like for the consumer cards there is barely any development involved

[hollow sorrel]

Sheeps gonna sheep

[scenic hill]

thats not my issue, i control me, not others, i dont force anyone into using their products

[wheat torrent]

as in they already have much better cards that aren't available for the consumer, its more about putting it together into a consumer card 🤔

[scenic hill]

be careful, razer are watching everything im saying to u guys

[pulsar obsidian]

Should I update my bios that hasn't been touched since I got my mobo? My manufacturers website says I should update to newer versions as soon as they are available

[hollow sorrel]

Using chrome as well this man does not gaf about his privacy

[pulsar obsidian]

I got my mobo in 2019, the latest firmware is 2024

[scenic hill]

i use edge for most things

[hollow sorrel]

Same thing, pretty much all chromium based browser are privacy nightmares

[scenic hill]

meh

ive used the same password for the last 12 years 💀

[pulsar obsidian]

Gang what

😭

To be fair the password i use hasn't changed since windows i had my windows vista desktop

That sentence makes no sense

[hollow sorrel]

My guy is a sneeze away from having his identity stolen

[pulsar obsidian]

I havent changed my screen lock password since my windows vista computer

All my other passwords are unique tho

[scenic hill]

thats okay

[pulsar obsidian]

And I use a local account because FUCK microsoft

[scenic hill]

ill just start fresh lmao

[hollow sorrel]

Eh, that's only relevant for people with physical access to your system

[pulsar obsidian]

Which is legit just me

[hasty echo]

is the ryzen 5 pro 3400ge any good?

[scenic hill]

i remember a few years ago i went to sleep woke up and my mouse was being moved looking through my windows settings at the passwords section lol

[rigid fjord]

funny fact, if you use a microsoft account for accessing your pc, and said email address for that account gets compromised, you lose access to your pc

[pulsar obsidian]

....

[hasty echo]

holy shit

[scenic hill]

or u just reinstall windows and u have access again

[pulsar obsidian]

Top ten facts why I use a local account moment

[rigid fjord]

so someone remoted into your system because idiocy

[pulsar obsidian]

Then you loose all your data

[scenic hill]

was funny, i sat and watched them for a bit

[scenic hill]

yeah fuck knows how tho

[rigid fjord]

you don't, you lose access to the acount using said email

[scenic hill]

yeah but u just make a new acc

[pulsar obsidian]

And that would be especially bad for me because I have bitlocker enabled

[scenic hill]

there is ways around it

[rigid fjord]

either via rdp, virus or a program that allows for remote access like rdp does

[scenic hill]

ah, they didnt do anything so who cares

[rigid fjord]

which means using a different email, or you do the smart thing and use a local account and never a microsoft account

[scenic hill]

i opened a notepad and typed "i can see you", lol

[pulsar obsidian]

Yeah like the only app I have which needs a Microsoft account is xbox

(For microsoft download simulator)

[rigid fjord]

microsoft store also

[pulsar obsidian]

It didnt log the microsoft account into my pc so im not like

Complaining

[pulsar obsidian]

Yeah that too otherwise microsoft download simulator 2020 shits itself lol

[rigid fjord]

it's "meh" at best

[rigid fjord]

minecraft would shit itself also because of this

[pulsar obsidian]

Exactly what happend to me

[rigid fjord]

it requires microsoft store

[pulsar obsidian]

Why microsoft why

Fun fact microsoft flight simulator is microsofts longest software series(longer than windows)

[rigid fjord]

even more fun fact, it was an easter egg in excel 1997

[pulsar obsidian]

Did not know that one

[scenic hill]

can a 3050ti laptop gpu, 8gb ddr4 ram, r5 5600h, play rust?

[rigid fjord]

anyone younger than 30 wouldn't know it straight away

[pulsar obsidian]

And i feel like my i5-12400F is gonna shit itself when I upgrade to a 9060XT

[rigid fjord]

nope, but i'd recommend running ddu then installign the gpu and downloading and iunstalling adrenaline from amd

[pulsar obsidian]

My GTX1650 is starting to show its age im not gonna lie

[gusty wagon]

Hello

[rigid fjord]

possibly

[rigid fjord]

sup

[pulsar obsidian]

Hi

[gusty wagon]

Your government is up and running

[pulsar obsidian]

The 1650 was only temporary until I could afford a 9060XT

Legit just a donor from my old pc

[rigid fjord]

just another clown show, but without being lead by a cheatos

[gusty wagon]

What about the glory that is NHS?

[rigid fjord]

getting shafted by the goverment as always

[hasty echo]

alrighty guys im going with 5500 and not the 5600 cause aint no way im paying 150 more (my cureency)

[pulsar obsidian]

Yall are talking about your unfree healthcare

Laughs in non american

[rigid fjord]

going with a 5500 would be stupid against going with a 5600 tbh

[pulsar obsidian]

Depends on the local price difference

[rigid fjord]

bold of you to assume that i could be amaerican

[hasty echo]

maybe but for a 5700xt i dont think i need a 5600

[pulsar obsidian]

I didnt look at your profile

[hasty echo]

holy i had a stroke

[rigid fjord]

nope, 5500 is equal to a 3600 in performance, 5600 is 20-25% more performance over a 3600

@gusty wagon got this around a month or so back

[pulsar obsidian]

For example where I live its cheaper to buy new hardware because the second hand market is hyper inflated, or there is nos supply

[gusty wagon]

What flavor is that, love?

[hasty echo]

im building a pc with like 550 dollars budget and to add another 80$ is not much of an option

[rigid fjord]

normal kraken, but got it for the glass and bottle, as they're limited edition, so the bottle's value goes up itself

[gusty wagon]

belly rumbles

[thin plover]

what kind of flavour is kraken

[hasty echo]

btw every $ for me is like 4 inn my currency

[gusty wagon]

good

[hasty echo]

cool

[rigid fjord]

dark spiced rum, that's as black as squid ink

[thin plover]

hm

[opaque bay]

i remember when i left the old tech support discord i used to help in

[thin plover]

I don't really like normal spiced rum

[rigid fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/the-book-of-boba-fett-din-djarin-this-is-the-way-the-mandalorian-pedro-pascal-gif-24828674

[gusty wagon]

I like it more than dmf

tbf kraken costs more

[rigid fjord]

it's great on it's own and great with pepsi

[gusty wagon]

it's great on it's own

[rigid fjord]

equal costs for me tbh

[gusty wagon]

Huh

[rigid fjord]

£21 a bottle

though this time i paid £56 for the limited ediition bottle

[thin plover]

rum and coke rocks

[rigid fjord]

it do, and unlike vodka for me, it doesn't make my stomach feel like w washing machine on a spin wash

[thin plover]

haha

[rigid fjord]

medicinally rum used to be used in a similar way when on travels

[scenic hill]

should i change any of this?

[midnight wind]

If you have to ask then no

[scenic hill]

i mean, ik what overclocking is, ive done it before

[scenic hill]

but im running on a 3050ti laptop gpu atm

so idk if it will really do anything

[golden sage]

ooo, looks like lianli is about to release a new cooler in 2 hours time!

[sinful cobalt]

another fuckass aio with a screen

just play battlefield6 on that screen or smth atp

[golden sage]

Hm, dont quite get whats wrong with it though

[plush wren]

same as every other aio

[scenic hill]

guys if i want more fps on rust shall i play it at 720p and then upscale to 1080

[sinful cobalt]

its just generally not an exciting release

[golden sage]

Ahh you're right on that tbh

[golden sage]

I just find it quite cool that they do offer variants which come without preinstalled fans

that price difference between gold and platinum is madness (these are in singapore dollars $SGD)

[plush wren]

so i have to pay for fans too

160$ for just the radiator

[scenic hill]

what could be causing my fps drops

nothing is at 100%

[golden sage]

Slap some good ol arctic p12 argbs on there

[plush wren]

extra cost

might as well just buy a arctic freezer

[golden sage]

Cant argue with that logic too tbh ^

the arctic Liquid freezers are really good

[orchid trellis]

Were anthem servers shutdown?

Cuz i found this at a local walmart

[daring zinc]

This is the end of an era 💔

Msi products always do this after the warranty expires

[steel umbra]

I often get that feeling as well

ig it's cheaper if they build it to just outlast the warranty a lil only, but then it hurts long-term customer demand

and also rma costs

if it breaks before the warranty expires

[lime grail]

So I just bought a ryzen 5 3500 to replace my r3 3200g. Can I just replace it even though I have a generic psu rn

[steel umbra]

My lg 27gp850 broke about 1.5 years of use

it started to flicker

[lime grail]

Currently using a generic psu w an rx 560

[steel umbra]

my a52s 5g's touch screen died after about 2 years of use (out of warranty)

[lime grail]

TEMPORARILY. Abt to buy either a coolermaster mwe 650 or corsair cx650

[cosmic idol]

Yes???
Unless your psu is so stupidly low wattage it makes a difference
But I doubt it

[steel umbra]

Which model of psu

You don't have to worry about almost hitting max power out put of your psu if it's a ok-good quality unit

In the worst case it'll shutdown, a bad unit may throw a rodeo or die

[long cradle]

Is that an OLED or LCD?

[daring zinc]

LCD

Or well

Its an IPS panel

Im getting an oled monitor today

[long cradle]

If my LCD breaks I'm gonna get a CRT.

[daring zinc]

Yeah that’s why im boycotting msi from now on

It happened to my msi case

And now my monitor

This is the oled monitor im getting

[long cradle]

Do you know of any CRT monitors I could get at a decent price, ideally I want one with a Trinitron tube.

[daring zinc]

Ermmm

I always just look for them online and compare prices

If you cannot find a cheaper one

[daring zinc]

For example, I couldn’t find a cheaper oled then this

[shrewd timber]

Uhhh

[daring zinc]

I just get that

[shrewd timber]

Damn first piece of tech that's died on me

[daring zinc]

I feel you

[shrewd timber]

I was trying to play a PS1 Game

It reads DVD-ROM and DVD Video just fine

[long cradle]

Bloody hell!!

[shrewd timber]

It read this just fine

[cosmic lance]

bloody marry!!!

[shrewd timber]

It was working fine like a week ago

Ugh I hate this

[long cradle]

Yeah...
Do you know a good CRT I can get for a good price?

[steel umbra]

There are 3rd gen 4k qd-oleds going for 650 btw

[valid fiber]

the game you are running might only be able to use all core's for what it's doing
you can be limited by your CPU even if some core's are idle

[turbid folio]

please can anyone lmk if its possible to disable the volume scroller on my keyboard

[grizzled frost]

you can always snip the wires leading to it

or desolder the leads

[turbid folio]

is there nothing in like device manager permissions or something?

[grizzled frost]

whether or not there's a software solution depends on the model of keyboard, which you didn't mention

[turbid folio]

could just ask

it's a steelseries apex pro tkl

volume scroller been broke since i got it but recently its been turning down my pc volume by itself

[fallow yacht]

what if i use controld as primary and google dns as secondary

[grizzled frost]

You can likely disable it in the steelseries software

[fallow yacht]

let's see if it works

[grizzled frost]

why wouldn't it?

[sick reef]

priced like a OLED

[fallow yacht]

cuz they would be conflicting with each other especially if one is an adblocking one

i think

[turbid folio]

secondary dns server is only used if theres an issue with the primary one

[sick reef]

my apartment doesn't even have a elevator to lift a CRT monitor

above 17"

[ebon marlin]

An OLED monitor is 1/3rd the price of that

[mortal venture]

Nice

[sick reef]

the resolution on CRTs with high refresh rates are lower than LCDs/OLEDs with high refresh rates.

[ebon marlin]

Ooo the new Asus OLED is available now on Proshop

[turbid folio]

bio gave me whiplash

[ebon marlin]

478€ hmm

[ebon marlin]

[daring zinc]

yeah but im not spending 600 bucks rn

and I wanna stay on 1440p

even tho my pc can handle 4k

I just prefer 1440p

[ebon marlin]

I wonder if the Asus monitor has a KVM

[turbid folio]

whats that game with trunks? is that just an activity thing to display a gif on ur profile

[cosmic idol]

YAY someone gets it

[fallow yacht]

maybe i should use controld entirely

[sick reef]

what about 4K monitors for text readability?

[daring zinc]

honestly is this monitor good or?

[cosmic idol]

Whiplash was one of the best movies I’ve ever watched

[turbid folio]

im never buying another steelseries product again the keyboard is physically broke and now steelseries gg refuses to load

[ebon marlin]

Damn bruh I can get my current OLED for 394€

[steel umbra]

Yes it is

[daring zinc]

bet

im getting it today then

[turbid folio]

im at 1440p 144hz currently but i might drop back down to 1080p and go for 360hz for games but idk

[versed swan]

Not sponsored, but I* recommend using RTINGS.com to compare monitors. They quantify every aspect of display quality down to a science with special calibration devices.

[turbid folio]

probably keep my 1440p for videos and stuff

[daring zinc]

hmm alr

[turbid folio]

also my friend got a 240hz monitor recently and i literally could not tell the difference between his and mine ngl

[daring zinc]

I mean I watched 3 reviews abt it

they said that the monitor is good

[cosmic idol]

1440p 165hz my beloved

[ebon marlin]

I went from 1440p 144hz to 1440p 240hz and immediately noticed the difference

[turbid folio]

i think my monitor can oc to 165 but i never tried cause im scared lmao

also i feel like that would just make compatibility issues idk

also probably wouldnt notice a difference

[ebon marlin]

Cheapest OLED currently I found is 370€ that's also an UW

[turbid folio]

damn i want an oled

what's the latency like on oleds

[daring zinc]

damn things are much cheaper for you

im paying 499 euros for my oled

[ebon marlin]

None basically

0.01ms

[versed swan]

rtings reviews are the most in-depth. They also compare specific stats of monitors against others, so it isn't just "4 stars" or "this is good". It also has different scores for different categories of usage such as gaming, multimedia, movies, etc

[grizzled frost]

the human eye struggles to see 1ms consistently

[turbid folio]

this is my monitor i got it like 5yrs ago at this point

want a new one

i also want a monitor arm cause the legs on this monitor are hideous and get in the way

[versed swan]

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/aoc/agon-pro-ag276qzd2

Looks like it is good at 8.9* for gaming

[ebon marlin]

I wonder if there's a review of the new Asus's 4th gen OLED

[limber bane]

can someone help me, I just woke up today and my chrome says "managed by your organization". Thing is, this is my personal laptop and this was not here till yesterday. Going into "chrome://policy" shows a policy "ExtensionManifestV2Availibility" is managing the browser with source as "platform". How tf do i remove this

[ebon marlin]

I dislike Asus but they have the best monitor rn

[turbid folio]

did u log into a school account on chrome or soemthing

[limber bane]

nope, its just my personal account logged in

neither have I downloaded any softwares in the like, the past one month

downloaded few steam games if that counts

[daring zinc]

damnn

[versed swan]

Rtings also has tv and headphone reviews of the same depth

[normal fractal]

Soooo I have a question... I have a new PC coming next week, 9800x3d asus tuf 5090 and 64gb ddr5 6000. My main concern is the 12v 2x6 cable. My research suggests that the current failure rate vs cards sold is around 0.01%. I'm assuming I should be ok if it's being built and tested by a System Integrator?

[grizzled frost]

Leave it as it arrives from the system integrator, and take good images of the entire build the moment you open the packaging

That way if the worst happens and it melts, you can warranty it via the system integrator

[solar moat]

its a falwed connecter dose not affect if its from SI/OEM

[grizzled frost]

It's quite a small chance that it happens, as you said, but it's not zero

[zealous plover]

Does this look like a good 1440p gaming pc? https://www.scorptec.com.au/sc/TUsSgh0

[normal fractal]

Well I called them yesterday and asked if they had any issues since the 50 series came out and he said of the nearly 5000 systems they've sold since not one has had an issue.

[solar moat]

how many 5090 in that 5000

[grizzled frost]

Nice, but RIP to that RAM pricing

[zealous plover]

Yeah but ram is needed

[normal fractal]

Couldn't give me an exact number but he said around 30%

[grizzled frost]

Unfortunately

[zealous plover]

Why is ram so expensive?

[solar moat]

https://tenor.com/nkNoUDM6Jao.gif

[grizzled frost]

Datacenter demand

[zealous plover]

Nobody likes datacenters or crypto miners

They are the reason

[grizzled frost]

crypto miners don't really exist anymore

[zealous plover]

Yeah but the great gpu thing was catastrophic

[grizzled frost]

That was ages ago, and crypto mining is no longer viable

[zealous plover]

The only thing I remember about that era is the guy that lost he's hard drive, spend millions than just gave up

NFT's were worse than crypto

whoever brought NFT's where big dumb dumbs

[gilded harness]

I like datacenters, just not AI focused one

But what can stop them

[zealous plover]

The only good thing about ai is chatgpt

all the other ai things are crap

especially whatever microsoft is doing

Well my other eye does work somewhat

[ebon marlin]

Bro is Majima in real life

[lapis talon]

Only like 50% 💀

[lapis talon]

Fr

[grizzled frost]

You won't have depth perception

[lapis talon]

Brain tumor transformed me 🔥🔥

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/goro-majima-yakuza-ryu-ga-gotoku-gif-18550819

[lapis talon]

I'm already used to that

[grizzled frost]

The thing is, you won't have the common points of reference you do IRL to guess distance based on known object sizes

[ionic peak]

To what?

[lapis talon]

I mean

I've gotten used to it really

I haven't had depth perception for around 2+ years now

[grizzled frost]

Via known references, whether you consciously recognize it or not

[lapis talon]

I wanna get vr because it'd help with hand eye coordination and because I have a wheel 💀

[lapis talon]

Ohh

[ionic peak]

I shall bring popcorn to this conversation

[rigid fjord]

if they was using a vive, that might not be much of an issue, on other vr headsets , yeah it'll be an issue

[lapis talon]

Was planning on a Meta Quest 3S

[ionic peak]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jackson-comendo-picoca-gif-9669437860846841235

[lapis talon]

Basically, I can't see stuff from the center all the way till my nose with my right eye

But other than that, it's fine

[rigid fjord]

so definitely depth perception issues

[lapis talon]

I can see everything on right

[lapis talon]

🥀

Should I not get it then 🥀🥀

[grizzled frost]

The VR headset will function just fine, you just might struggle to play certain games

[lapis talon]

Which ones exactly?

Stuff like VRChat?

[grizzled frost]

Anything fast paced, most likely

[lapis talon]

Hmm alright

I don't really play anything fast paced anymore so that should be fine

[rigid fjord]

the reason i state a vive being different is that on the vive they state it has eye tracking, which in itself can give you the feeling of full depth perception

[lapis talon]

Ohhhh

[grizzled frost]

There's a couple headsets now that support eye tracking

[lapis talon]

Wait I heard the Quest 3 is getting that or smth

[grizzled frost]

the bigscreen beyond also does

[rigid fjord]

not seen any others having that as a stated personally but not delved much in vr

[grizzled frost]

Speaking from personal experience, i find the new vive headsets to be quite uncomfortable

[ionic peak]

Hmm eyes

[lapis talon]

HTC Vive right?

[grizzled frost]

I have about 13k hours in VR so far, and i've tried several headsets

[grizzled frost]

Mhm

[lapis talon]

Oooo

[lapis talon]

They still make them?

[grizzled frost]

I've had the OG HTC Vive, Vive Pro 2, Valve Index, and used the Quest 2 for a bit

[lapis talon]

I honestly thought HTC went extinct along with my dad's old phone

[grizzled frost]

Not the OG Vive anymore, that's like a decade old now

[lapis talon]

Oooo

[rigid fjord]

https://www.vive.com/uk/?utm_source=htc&utm_medium=htccom&utm_content=htccom_menu_link&utm_campaign=default_try_vive still around

[lapis talon]

Sheeesh $700 USD for a vive pro 2

[ionic peak]

Me looking here with no vr headset

[lapis talon]

My budget was around 50k BDT ($450 USD)

[lapis talon]

Us

[grizzled frost]

Good luck getting anything with eye tracking

[ionic peak]

You have one?

[lapis talon]

Not yet

[lapis talon]

😭

Oh might as well as ask

[ionic peak]

Oh ok gl that it doesn't go expensive

[grizzled frost]

Honestly at that price point and with your lack of depth perception, i wouldn't invest in VR

[lapis talon]

What do I do about the cables

Just got a monitor arm

[lapis talon]

My lifelong dream 🥀🥀

[lapis talon]

And yes that's a One Piece mouse

[grizzled frost]

You should try going into a store that has a VR Demo

stores like best buy and microcenter usually have them

[lapis talon]

No store has that here really

There are arcades but

[grizzled frost]

VR is one of those things that is impossible to properly describe outside of actually experiencing it

[lapis talon]

I'm way too shy to go in there

[lapis talon]

Yup yup

[grizzled frost]

Do you get motion sick at all, or get migraines

[ionic peak]

Glue them to arm

[lapis talon]

The ones coming out of the back of my pc

[rigid fjord]

this vs the pro

[rigid fjord]

invest in velcro

[ionic peak]

Ignore it and move the speaker in front of it

[lapis talon]

What's up with the wonky design of the actual headset

Looks goofy

[grizzled frost]

youtube struggling

[ionic peak]

Eyes

[rigid fjord]

slimmer than the pro apparently

[lapis talon]

Already got some but I don't know how to hide them

[lapis talon]

Oh wow

[grizzled frost]

Vive has a pretty robust return policy as well

[rigid fjord]

also there's camera's on the front for room tracking

[ionic peak]

I have a worse cabel management

[grizzled frost]

I purchased a vive pro 2, hated it because it gave me headaches within minutes, and returned it for a full refund without issue

[lapis talon]

Vive isn't even available properly over in my country

[grizzled frost]

How it fits is super personal, so don't let my experience dissuade you there

[lapis talon]

It got delayed brochacho

[ionic peak]

Where you live?

[wooden tree]

It works for me

[rigid fjord]

delayed to even later in 2026

[lapis talon]

Oh wow

[lapis talon]

Bangladesh

[grizzled frost]

Just because it gave me headaches, doesn't mean it will for you

It just happened to not mesh well with my head shape

[lapis talon]

I'm pretty resistant to headaches now after my surgery but

I gotta test it to know for sure

The headset I mean

[grizzled frost]

My issue was it put pressure on my forehead really bad

[ionic peak]

Hmm gl

[lapis talon]

Oh wow

[ionic peak]

Turns red

[grizzled frost]

Though how it fits varies for everyone

[lapis talon]

As someone who has a giant head, that's a bit concerning

[grizzled frost]

It's not even really about size, but moreso shape

[lapis talon]

Oooo

[ionic peak]

Giand brain ?

[lapis talon]

Maybe

[grizzled frost]

It's supposed to evenly distribute pressure along the entire gasket, but it just didn't for my head shape

[lapis talon]

Oh that sucks

Now I'm scared about the quest 3s

[grizzled frost]

Other than the head issue, I loved the vive pro 2, the color contrast and pixel density was phenomenal

[lapis talon]

I need a new SSD for my pc as my 1tb is not enough

[ionic peak]

https://tenor.com/view/galaxy-brain-gif-62870316450580206

[grizzled frost]

I functionally downgraded by switching to the valve index, but i had to for my own comfort

[lapis talon]

Only problems are, my mobo is mATX and GPU is a triple slot

[ionic peak]

Comfort over performance?

[lapis talon]

That's what matters the most really

[ionic peak]

Chunky

[lapis talon]

If it's uncomfortable then you wouldn't be using it all that much

[grizzled frost]

When you can't wear the headset for more than 5 minutes at a time, yeah comfort over performance

[ionic peak]

Ah ok like more fooam?

[grizzled frost]

How the headstrap is designed just didn't mesh with my head shape well

put to much pressure on the forehead instead of the whole gasket

it's not really a design problem, but an inevitability with how personal VR headsets are

[ionic peak]

; (

[grizzled frost]

It can't fit everyone perfectly, so there's a bit of chance involved

[lapis talon]

Oh what happened with those AR glasses that I'd been seeing before

[grizzled frost]

They were super understanding when i wanted to return it though, and gave me a full refund pretty much automatically

[lapis talon]

I would buy one if it were available here

[grizzled frost]

Which is all i can really ask for

[lapis talon]

Oh I'm jealous

Where even are you from

[grizzled frost]

Eastern US

[lapis talon]

Oooo

Yeah I'm jealous of not being in the US when it comes to tech

[grizzled frost]

Yeah we are rather spoiled here

[lapis talon]

Good policies, good prices and everything

[grizzled frost]

well the good policies are kind of being ruined with the tariffs

[lapis talon]

Oh yeah that's a thing now

[grizzled frost]

assuming those ever actually go into effect, they keep getting delayed at the last minute

[lapis talon]

I'm surprised tariffs haven't affected our country much yet

[grizzled frost]

What country?

[lapis talon]

We export clothes and stuff to the US so I figured dollar prices would go crazy

[lapis talon]

Bangladesh

[grizzled frost]

Ah

Tariffs are paid by the US consumer, so it largely just affects our prices

[gilded harness]

https://tenor.com/view/napoleon-nothing-we-can-do-nothing-we-can-do-there-is-gif-17017334091191129728

[lapis talon]

Yeah but that means an increade in the prices of products, so chance of less sales overall

[ionic peak]

When is when?

[rigid fjord]

tbf any gasket for vr headsets are done with universal designs

[gilded harness]

i let my cables existing on the desk

maybe less

[lapis talon]

Releases in November I guess

[lapis talon]

Cleannnn

[ionic peak]

Hmm a hole in the Tapete

[lapis talon]

I could skip out on VR and instead go for something like a Samsung 990 Pro 2tb

Life would be so much better if I had 2 m.2 slots

[ionic peak]

Plant fan

[lapis talon]

Wait what does it mean if M.2_1 is connected to the CPU and M.2_2 is connected to the chipset?

[grizzled frost]

Instead of being wired directly to the CPU for M.2_1, M.2_2 is wired to the chipset, meaning it can have reduced bandwidth since it has to share pcie bandwidth with all the other chipset functions, there’s also a bit more latency

[lapis talon]

Ohhh

I'm Def cooked

I don't want to reinstall everything if I get a new SSD

[gilded harness]

ion think you have to reinstall everything

[lapis talon]

And with my gigantic GPU, this fitment is weird

[lapis talon]

Id probably have to replace the entire GPU

[lapis talon]

[rumor]
due to the crazy shortage recently, 3gb gddr7 cant make it to the consumer market for desktop, thus the super series is cancelled.
and the current models are expected to be more expensive very soon, because of the increasing cost of 2gb gddr7.

pc upgrade plan cancelled

i need a bigger desk then get this and place it on the desk

unfortunately its lego and shit cost $400

[lavish needle]

Computers get pretty expensive, especially with am5 and ddr5 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Bg3Lgn

How can i successfully commit a felony?

Damn Proshop has a new sale additional -20% off at open box products so I could've gotten my 5070 for 350€~

If only I waited an additional day

[plain cypress]

The mini figs inflate the price

(also licensing but shhhhh)

It should be a $300 set

[tacit star]

Flip the toilet paper

[ebon marlin]

300 for that seems cheap especially for Lego

500 minimum

[plain cypress]

It's $400

It's only 3600 pieces and a lot are smaller pieces (as far as I can tell by the picture)

[drifting urchin]

day by day, the world heals

still triple the orginal price i paid, so it can come down more, to like 242 would be ideal

[tulip sparrow]

About what I expected for powerline ethernet

[drifting urchin]

and like, to me also its like, how does ram chip shortages not triple the prices of gpu

[tulip sparrow]

Hopefully its more stable then the wifi that drops to non usable

[drifting urchin]

cuz thats one of the vital parts of gpu, how much memory, how fast, how many modules, etc

far as i know its BASICALLY the same shit on gpu's as that goes to ram, same process at least

so i figure it would hinder gpu making

[ebon marlin]

Damn finally got to try out a chinese foldable a Honor Magic V3 and V5 and they feel muxh better than the Z Fold 7

The Z Fold 7 has an awkward aspect ratio

[ionic peak]

2 phones?

[ebon marlin]

Idk how to explain it but the V5's aspect ratio was much more comfortable/comforting

[rigid fjord]

@left dove hehehe

[ebon marlin]

Much better to hold aswell

[runic anvil]

guys, i have 2 psus a sf750 and seasonic px750 what one is better for nas 24/7,

[wheat torrent]

😃

[rigid fjord]

rule #10

[rigid fjord]

if this is a itx build, i'd go with the sf750 tbh

[formal geode]

sory boss

[runic anvil]

do type 4 cables work on sf750 ?

no its a normal atx nas build

[bronze summit]

Linux has gone too far

[rigid fjord]

if it's 2024 or newer model, no, it'll be a type 5 pinout instead

2016/2019 model it's possibly type 4 pinout

[craggy cove]

wow didnt know haswell had m.2s

[craggy cove]

a 2021 rm650x would require type 4 cables, correct?

[rigid fjord]

pretty much any after 2019 on the rmx's will be type 4 pinout except for the rmx shift line

[craggy cove]

sweet, thanks

got kinda confusing when searching for cables but honestly i dont think anyone except corsair has a system like this

[rigid fjord]

they have a complete compatability chart for both older and newer models

and model date between certain years dertermine if type 3, 4 or 5 pinout

like, type 5 pinout = type 4 but with a smaller connector on the psu side

[craggy cove]

most confusing part of this was determining my model year

i had a 2021 model but made in 2020

but serial number confirmed it + type 4 written on the cables

[rigid fjord]

definitely type 4 pinout for that then

[craggy cove]

oh oops

yeah this chart is pretty useful

[rigid fjord]

this is true, i can get you the full differences on that part easily if you want

can someone help with this please I am really stuck, I’ve tried everything I can think, I’ve reinstalled some drivers and stuff. I’m really lost

[craggy cove]

yk i just noticed the type 4 cable set i bought had everything but the cpu cable

oops, rip 2€ + 2€ shipping

[craggy cove]

i only have the atx + a pci e connector

[rigid fjord]

which set did you get exactly?

[craggy cove]

a used set

[nova creek]

Would really appreciate some help or a point in the right direction where I can get it?

[craggy cove]

the original cables

[wheat torrent]

Real

[craggy cove]

i suppose i got a extra 8 pin and a sata cable but i dont need either of those

[rigid fjord]

perfect time to get their type 4 premium starter kit

[craggy cove]

in to the closet it goes

[craggy cove]

cable extensions still look better

[rigid fjord]

nope

[craggy cove]

yup

[nova creek]

Guess I’m screwed then. Brand new laptop too

[rigid fjord]

nope, adding an extra point of failure when you can replace the whole cable

[craggy cove]

reinstall windows if you think this isnt just placebo

[craggy cove]

look factor is better, burn the pc down or whatever

[rigid fjord]

this is the one i have

[craggy cove]

looks 2016 for some reason

red corsair

[scenic hill]

how can i diagnose an issue with my laptops usb ports

none of them are working, like not any of them

[rigid fjord]

the blue and black version of what i got

[craggy cove]

hx series vibes

[nova creek]

100% not a placebo, was stable now weirdly goes to 100 degrees all the time, and always does it in certain circumstances like opening the map, thought maybe it changed some power mode things or something, or would you guys think maybe make a manual power mode with all the wattage settings and fan curves custom might solve it?

[craggy cove]

the map?

[craggy cove]

goes well with this thing

and the h100i gtx

(even if only the box is red)

[nova creek]

Sorry, in game map

[stray portal]

Which is better between a pixel 9 pro xl or a pixel 10 base? I see a pixel 9 pro xl is cheaper by 20 euros

[fringe prairie]

9 pro xl

10 iirc downgraded cameras

[stray portal]

Yeah pixel 10 has worse main camera but has a 5x telephoto compared to pixel 9 base, tho on the 9 pro xl it is much better than both

Generic powerlogic that has like 700 watts. It's been running my rig for about 5 months now

[spring raft]

If I am building in a cube case, is it recommended to have 3 fans up top with 3 fans at the back, or should I have all 6 fans on the top?

[rigid fjord]

nope, that be a type 3 pinout

[craggy cove]

have you considered that it would be cool

any corsair psus with switchable psus still around

[gleaming meteor]

would setting a 38w ppt on my 5700x make it absolutely unstable

[rigid fjord]

you mean between 110/120v and 220/240v?

[gleaming meteor]

id also lower boost to like 3.9ghz

but how much worse would it actually be

[stray portal]

Don't have them all at the top

The output fans will just suck out all the air that gets in by the input fans

[spring raft]

Alr thx

[grizzled frost]

don’t PSU’s automatically transition between the voltages?

[craggy cove]

what am i even typing atp

i meant to type switchable lables

Sir, how much have you had to drink today?

whats lastest 64bit windows version for furmark 1? i can only find 32bit on official website

i see only furmark 2 with 64 bit support

[craggy cove]

im sure it will work anyway

windows has a compatibility layer for that
