[distant frigate]

Not sure if it’s gonna be an issue in the future as carriers move bands from LTE to 5G

They will be gradually doing that. 5G Standalone transition

[grizzled frost]

LTE is gonna be around for a while, 5g coverage still isn’t amazing

[distant frigate]

Verizon Band 66 used to be LTE. Now it’s N66 5G

[jaunty apex]

[steel umbra]

i’ve heard some providers mask LTE as 5G

[gloomy sleet]

can attest almost nowhere near me has 5g coverage yet

[distant frigate]

Yeah. I expect LTE to hang around for atleast the next 6-7 years or so

[azure topaz]

you what

[distant frigate]

Potentially up to 10 years

[jaunty apex]

Its still spotty in the city

[grizzled frost]

shush

[distant frigate]

5G is decent here

[azure topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/i-be-profen-gif-9435864923799777590

[distant frigate]

Atleast from T-Mobile

[jaunty apex]

also T_Mobile

[grizzled frost]

Floppa i am sending 6-7 nukes to your home as we speak

[azure topaz]

im not home

[grizzled frost]

you within 50km of home?

[azure topaz]

id win

[gloomy sleet]

thats still an issue

[azure topaz]

nah

[grizzled frost]

damn

ok i’ll wait

[azure topaz]

(i am)

[distant frigate]

This Verizon small cell is still 4G lmao

[gloomy sleet]

nuclear bombs hitting your house is still an inconvenience

[distant frigate]

Still waiting on it being upgraded to 5G

[azure topaz]

ill just head on down to bestbuy and buy more computer

you can live in a computer but you cant race a house

[gloomy sleet]

you can race a computer?

[azure topaz]

if you know how to drive it right

[gloomy sleet]

yeah im gonna have to say no

[distant frigate]

Also lmao https://www.lightreading.com/6g/us-must-lead-on-6g-through-spectrum-standards-r-d-trusty

6G release is not too far off

[indigo bough]

whats better for cooling? more intake fans than exhaust, or balanced

[grizzled frost]

doesn’t matter, net airflow is the same

[distant frigate]

A problem with 6G is higher frequencies

6G is gonna use 7 GHz as its upper mid-band I think

[grizzled frost]

more intake is better for dust buildup, since it forces air to only be intake through the dust filters in the intake fans

[indigo bough]

gotchu

cheers, ill keep that in mind

[rigid fjord]

@left dove well it heats up faster on the hotend, and looks to be smoother in applying the filament, just got to mess with some other settings

[craggy cove]

stupid question, never dealt with argb before. can i wire my aio fans and pump rgbs together?

both are 5v

[rigid fjord]

you do realise you can build one of these using a ras pi dude

[craggy cove]

asking cause it fits, but the size and colour are slightly different. just dont want to fry anything

manual says fuck all, half of it is flipped upside down and the other half is chinese

[rigid fjord]

on the argb side, yes you can, i would most likely run it through a powered hub if you are not sure about how many led's per fan

[craggy cove]

oh okay

well i suppose i have the rgb headers for it

so you cant daisy chain infinitely?

[rigid fjord]

you can definitely split it between the amount of headers on the mobo if needs be, but i will warn you, there is a limit to how many led's per header is handled

[rigid fjord]

nope, the limit for led's off a single argb/rgb header is 200-240 led's total

[craggy cove]

holy shit i bent one connector to fuck

[rigid fjord]

so, in simple maths, if a fan was using 10 led's, that's a max of 24 fans per header

but fans can use anywhere from 7 to 30 depending on the brand and fan model

[craggy cove]

i doubt these have that many leds but ill play it safe then

how do i testbench aios 💔

[rigid fjord]

tbh, not sure, it's more what fan curves you set, and depending on the aio, many will treat the pump separate from the fans

so you may have to set a curve for the pump separate from the fans

[craggy cove]

oh okay

well ill just see if it works till i get a case

goodbye return window

is this orientation creating noise or is this pump dead

uh oh

maybe its in the wrong slot

cope

[valid fiber]

pump on the bottom of the loop should be ideal for the pump

[craggy cove]

well it technically is here

[valid fiber]

yup there shouldn't be any air in the pump that could cause problems

[left dove]

told u :D

[craggy cove]

oh i put it in the cpu fan not the aio pump and its gone

ooh boy

[distant frigate]

Lmao. 400 MHz of bandwidth for 6G

16,000 Mbps

[craggy cove]

ooh so i put the radiator fans in the cpu fan header?

new to this aio and rgb thing

[forest wyvern]

Sadly my cell provider does not support lte smart watches

And I’m on a good deal with them for 200gb of data a month

[azure topaz]

wherver the pump is it needs to be in the lowest part of the loop'

[craggy cove]

well its lower here i suppose, but its loud at 100%. air in the pump?

this is why i have an air cooler 😭

[azure topaz]

seems fine

put it at 90% problem solved no performance lost

[craggy cove]

should it be louder than an air cooler tho

[azure topaz]

it doesnt it seem like it is

consider the fact that theres also 3 loud 120s on it

and that your phone is right next to it

[craggy cove]

louder in person + its definitely the pumps

google suggesting to just rotate it and let the air bubbles go away

[azure topaz]

you would hear if its air bubbles

i dont think its bubbles it just sounds like a pump idk dawg

turn it to 90%

[lapis talon]

https://bytecity.com.bd/product/hp-victus-15-fb2772nd-gaming-laptop/
Does this laptop look alright

[craggy cove]

guess im too much of an air cooler peasant but sure

[lapis talon]

Around $1100 USD

[azure topaz]

16gb ram

[lapis talon]

Beggars can't be choosers 😭

This is really cheap for what it has

[azure topaz]

then why are you asking if its a good laptop

[dusk patio]

Looks fine to me

[lapis talon]

A legion 5 which costs $150 more has a worse CPU and gpu

[azure topaz]

if youve already done all the research just buy it bro

[lapis talon]

For the price and compared to everything else in that range in my country

[lapis talon]

Want to get my money's worth and idk if hp is good

[dusk patio]

it's still a Zen 4 CPU and an rtx 4060m, that's pretty freaking good

[lapis talon]

Didn't want to get an HP because it supports genocide but I might have to

[azure topaz]

if youve done your own independant research, which it seems like you have, you are going to know infinitely more about your countries choices

[lapis talon]

Alright I'll lock in on this one

[fringe prairie]

which cpu and gpu

[lapis talon]

Lemme check 1 sec

[azure topaz]

i literally couldnt tell you where else to even get a laptop

[craggy cove]

oh cool 80% pump is perfectly fine

[azure topaz]

thats what i was saying

[craggy cove]

learning a lot today

[dusk patio]

the only limitation is the RAM, but you may (or may not) be able to upgrade that

[fringe prairie]

you will

[craggy cove]

idk why i keep hearing that 100% pump thing

[dusk patio]

you sure it's not soldered?

[craggy cove]

i love misinfo

[fringe prairie]

yes ddr5-5600 means socketed

for zen4

[azure topaz]

yeah idk

its true for any form of water pump

[dusk patio]

okay I'll take your word for it

[fringe prairie]

usually soldered would be like 6400+ for zen4 and it would say lpddr5/x

[azure topaz]

yeah

[dusk patio]

my laptop is ddr4 3200 and it's half soldered

[fringe prairie]

asus?

[ebon marlin]

Crazy how this almost 6 year old laptop can still pull off this kinda battery life with still a fairly strong cpu

[lapis talon]

Can't find it but it was a 74smth HS (maybe a 7445HS and a 4060m)

[fringe prairie]

legion 5 has better build quality and likely better display

[lapis talon]

Yeah I'm going to check that tomorrow and order some matching sticks

[fringe prairie]

7445hs hmm

[hallow jasper]

what in the 1366x768

[ebon marlin]

My girlfriend has a 2021 model of the Legion 5 it's very nice

[fringe prairie]

what the hell is that

2x zen4 + 4x zen4c what the hell is amd cooking 😭

[lapis talon]

Legion does? But all my friends say anything from Lenovo is bad (one of them has a legion 5)

[ebon marlin]

It's 1920x1080 the display scale is at 150% since the screen is 13" lol

[fringe prairie]

this is untrue

[hallow jasper]

also that battery life estimate in Windows after freshly unplugging it is so hilarously optimistic

[dusk patio]

let them cook

[ebon marlin]

Lenovo is one of the best laptop manufacturers

[fringe prairie]

the legion series and thinkpad lineup has been great

maybe they have like some shit ideapad 1

[lapis talon]

Wait fr?

[ebon marlin]

Yes

[lapis talon]

I can ditch HP?

[ebon marlin]

HP is hot garbage

[lapis talon]

Is LOQ good enough?

[azure topaz]

hot piss

[fringe prairie]

hp is fine if you buy the expensive stuff

[azure topaz]

hard pass

[hallow jasper]

Thats crazy, 100% sounds great. I run 150% on a 13" Dell XPS but its 3200x1800 lol

[azure topaz]

hing problems

[lapis talon]

Which I will not

[fringe prairie]

ob ultra and elitebooks are usually good, just expensive

[ebon marlin]

I have a Loq Essential it's a lower end Loq but still really good

[left trellis]

The HYTE Y60 ATX Mid Tower Case and Gigabyte GAMING OC GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB Video Card are not compatible.

gpu is 340mm
y60 supports 375

[fringe prairie]

its the cheap shit no name hps that suck

[left trellis]

is pcpp tripping or nah

[lapis talon]

Loq QC is generally good right?

[azure topaz]

it probably is tripping but let me see

[ebon marlin]

Mhm

[lapis talon]

Then I think I'll go for a $1k one

[fringe prairie]

g8 and g10 yes

[azure topaz]

is it that its too thick?

[fringe prairie]

g9 hard pass

[lapis talon]

Wot that

[azure topaz]

cause its a 3.5 slot card

[fringe prairie]

loq gen 8 and gen10
gen9 is 50% no igpu 50% motherboard failure

[ebon marlin]

Tbf this Thinkpad is also almost 6 years old

[lapis talon]

Oh I forgot to mention I want something light and thin if possible

[azure topaz]

my bad its a 2.5 i think it shouldnt be too think

bro im tripping disregard

[dusk patio]

double check the specs on the manufacturer's website if you're unsure

[agile stag]

i main like a 9 year old laptop and it beats out my 2021 framework at like everything

[lapis talon]

Ohhh

[ebon marlin]

Framework is just a gimmick product

[lapis talon]

Uhhh

[agile stag]

a little bit

theyre neat and i support them but i realized uh i dont like their build quality

[plush wren]

[lapis talon]

Someone

[agile stag]

and then once my mobo died again i figured im a fair technician i can get something thats hard to fix

so i got a thinkpad p50 and it goes crazy its the best laptop ive ever owned i think

[azure topaz]

yeah i think its too thick homeboy

[fringe prairie]

fw overpriced

[ebon marlin]

It's also cheaper to get a normal laptop and then get a new one when you feel like it's slowing down

[fringe prairie]

cool idea but really poorly priced

[agile stag]

everything new is overpriced

[left trellis]

70mm thick

75 mm is supported

[agile stag]

i paid 150 for my laptop and it has a 90wh battery and a dgpu

[left trellis]

I have an after market gpu moount so it should be fine

[plush wren]

i7 6th gen?

[agile stag]

and a backlit keyboard and good screen and its made of aluminum

[fringe prairie]

could be hotshit who knows

[azure topaz]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Hyte/comments/1d2s58l/how_to_accomodate_bigger_gpu_inside_the_hyte_y60/

[agile stag]

mmhm 6700hq and a quadro m1000m so it can game

but the battery is huge so it still gets good life

[plush wren]

[azure topaz]

yeah the y60 natively supports a 3 slot thickness i think

[agile stag]

the cooling is also good it doesnt really ever get above like 80c ever

[azure topaz]

you can maybe cram in the 3.5 card

[plush wren]

i want a laptop but im not interested in spending a lot so idk if I should even buy one

[agile stag]

even 75 is on the hotter side for it

best laptop ive ever owned for 150 :3

[dusk patio]

I'm in uni and I like having my school shit separate from my gaming PC

[agile stag]

i even bought a second one actually but a friend ended up trading for it with me

and hes enjoying his too

[ebon marlin]

2 Lenovo X13 Gen 1's yummers

[left trellis]

current gpu is 53 mm and its lowk kinda close :(

havent bought the 5070 ti yet so theres still options

[agile stag]

the x series are neat im gonna get my own one to main for uh school stuff someday

[dusk patio]

cheap thin and light + gaming desktop seems to be the strat

[plush wren]

yea that + i just want to lay down sometimes and watch something and not have to sit at my pc, i've been looking at used oled laptops but there's like 2 the rest are expensive af

[azure topaz]

buy a smaller one

[ebon marlin]

I got both of em for dirt cheap aswell basically 160€ each

[azure topaz]

5070ti asus prime is generally cheap and its way smaller

[ebon marlin]

One was 150€ other 170€

[agile stag]

thats pricey for me but i also buy older laptops anyways

[left trellis]

buying used idrk whats available other than that so ill see :D

[ebon marlin]

Both have the Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U cpu aswell

[agile stag]

i rarely spend more than like 100 for a device

[dusk patio]

I have a Vivobook OLED for uni and it's not bad despite being a 1080p 15'' OLED

[ebon marlin]

I only bought em cuz they're dirt cheap here and go for double the price back in Finland

[agile stag]

but my two p50s were like around 130 a piece uh one was 100 with batt and one was 100 without with a 50$ batt

[agile stag]

fair that works out

[agile stag]

i buy to resell but uh i wanted something to replace my framework and the p50 is the best they had to offer at the time

[azure topaz]

hope you can find somethin smaller

[agile stag]

and it was at a good time for pc stuff too

so its a good laptop

[plush wren]

ye i was looking at a vivobok, some guy was selling a acer swift go oled but he was rude as fuck so i just stopped messaging him

[fringe prairie]

swift go is nice

higher res oled displays compared to cheap asus

[ebon marlin]

I had an Acer Swift 14 Go OLED and it was really nice

[plush wren]

asked this guy if he changes his mind to let me know and he just responded with he changed his mind and that he set the price for too low

[left trellis]

fire

[ebon marlin]

What specs and what price

[left trellis]

would a p41 have better performance than a 990 evo in after effects

[plush wren]

7640u 16gb 1tb ssd 562€

[ebon marlin]

Lowkey expensive as hell

[left trellis]

or would it be negligible

[dusk patio]

the one warning I will give is that you DO NOT want to deal with Asus customer support

[ebon marlin]

All ssd's have negligible difference between them a gen3 ssd vs gen5 ssd

[fringe prairie]

no 256v swift 16 available?

[plush wren]

too bad i cant anyways

[plush wren]

oh i dont want to buy new

[dusk patio]

why not?

[plush wren]

customer support for what + why asus if its a acer laptop

[fringe prairie]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/256904160754?
in the us you can get the nice lunar lake ones for around $600

direct from acer

[dusk patio]

I meant like if you bought an Asus

bcs we were saying Vivobook

[worthy pumice]

What does “COM” mean on the motherboard?

[plush wren]

im not from the us 💔

[swift stream]

should i get a macbook

[plush wren]

unfortunately

[fringe prairie]

theyre nice, i use an m4 macbook air currently

[plush wren]

oh yea

[fringe prairie]

ram and ssd prices suck though

[plush wren]

welcome to bosnia

[dusk patio]

you mean like a serial port?

[azure topaz]

ram prices so bad man

[empty quartz]

:3

[swift stream]

im in the us 🥰

[azure topaz]

i want to buy like 5 or 6 more kits

[azure topaz]

just nothing good man

[plush wren]

[worthy pumice]

The one above F_AUDIO

[azure topaz]

its for serial

[ebon marlin]

Yummy pho

[azure topaz]

ancient device 2 device communication method lots of industrial applications use

[plush wren]

wtf is this

[empty quartz]

@azure topaz you need 1b of dedotated wam

[ebon marlin]

[swift stream]

just looks like hot sauce on onions and chicken

[azure topaz]

the pork pho better

[worthy pumice]

I’m trying to find the CPU 8-pin connector, I can’t find anything

[ebon marlin]

It's supposed to be a light noodle soup

[azure topaz]

what board, it might just be a 4 pin

[azure topaz]

are you the h610 guy?

[worthy pumice]

H310M

[azure topaz]

brand at least?

[worthy pumice]

Gigabyte

[azure topaz]

top left

[worthy pumice]

S2V

[azure topaz]

4 pin connector

[sonic siren]

Poor-quality chicken gives me a reaction.

[worthy pumice]

So its built into the motherboard PSU slot?

[azure topaz]

that isnt what i said at all

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/yapping-quit-yapping-yap-waffle-stfu-gif-2451949384988892352

[worthy pumice]

Nvm

[plush wren]

i might just buy a non oled idk what cpu to look for tho

[hallow jasper]

yeah that random reply made no sense

[azure topaz]

its just half of an 8 pin

[ebon marlin]

What's ur use case

If you want to maximize battery life an OLED would be nice

[sonic siren]

Wah apakah enak ?

[fringe prairie]

a lunar lake device would be

[plush wren]

watching movies/yt, light coding and idk maybe i'd get another drive and install linux on it

[swift stream]

its gigasht what do you expect

[azure topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/wort-wort-wort-halo-elite-dance-halo-elite-dancing-halo-persona4-elite-persona4dancing-gif-24059772

[azure topaz]

when did i say that it was bad

[plush wren]

no used laptops with it on the market tho here at least

[azure topaz]

its an h310 board i dont expect any of them to be good

[worthy pumice]

Am I fucked cause I can’t find a 4-pin in any of the PSU cables

[fringe prairie]

unfortunate eu moment

[azure topaz]

your CPU 8pin is a 4 pin

[plush wren]

unfortunate poor eu country moment

[azure topaz]

just plug in half of it

its scuffed but it works, sometimes you cant separate the connectors

[worthy pumice]

I can plug a 8pin connector into a 4 pin???

[azure topaz]

if its a cpu 8 pin, yes

[swift stream]

no io shield either

[dusk patio]

thin and light would be good, something with a lower power CPU for better battery life. IGPU is fine unless you really want to game on it

[azure topaz]

perhaps because its in the box and im looking at product photos

dumbass 😭

[plush wren]

yea i wouldnt really want a dgpu unless I could disable it or something

[worthy pumice]

Wait it looks like I can split it

[azure topaz]

labeling board vendors as good or bad is not the method

[azure topaz]

then do that and ur gucci

[plush wren]

also what is up with those intel cpus with fucking 4x more e cores than p cores

[ebon marlin]

Majority of new laptops with dgpus come with mux switches which allow you to completely disable the dgpu

[azure topaz]

push up (toward the part it plugs in) and it should split

[fringe prairie]

https://www.ebay.de/itm/406169286448?
how much is this ebay is trippin

[fringe prairie]

oh intel u series avoid that

[swift stream]

me using ryzen 5

[plush wren]

i cant really import it cause i'll have to pay 33% of the products value for import tax also it says 500gbp/682€

[azure topaz]

what does this have to do with anything man

[worthy pumice]

Should I plug in the part that is labeled cpu or is either fine

[dusk patio]

each E core is equivalent to around half of one P core, to oversimplify

[fringe prairie]

[azure topaz]

whatever fits

plug in click, turn on pc

[plush wren]

[plush wren]

thought so

might just buy a thinkpad and call it a day

[azure topaz]

"memory controller issue" bro its a motherboard

[plush wren]

t480 or something

[azure topaz]

wheres the memory controller on it bro

[fringe prairie]

depends on what we're comparing whoever said that

[swift stream]

they talking bout bios

[azure topaz]

none of that has anything to do with the memory controller

he sucks and the chip sucks at overclocking ram

none of them are to do with the board bruh

[ebon marlin]

What is the random eugene supposed to mena

[fringe prairie]

eugene oregon

[azure topaz]

read the 3 words before it catto

[ebon marlin]

T480 is insanely overpriced

Gaming ATX

[plush wren]

then what else

[azure topaz]

local pick up in

[ebon marlin]

Check ur used market

[plush wren]

yes a used t480

[swift stream]

i got a pro b650-s for 120 usd

[fringe prairie]

no elitebook 845 g8 or something?

[azure topaz]

that is certainly a motherboard

[ebon marlin]

How is this anyway related to the discussion

[azure topaz]

😭

[fringe prairie]

the public needs to know

[ebon marlin]

It's a shit deal aswell

[azure topaz]

fr

[plush wren]

theres only one for ~250€, ryzen 5 pro 5650u, 16gb ram and thats all i know

[fringe prairie]

that Ever-light has a b650-s for US$120

[azure topaz]

roomie got a x670e strix for 105$

[ebon marlin]

I got a B650 and a X670E motherboard for 110€

[azure topaz]

i got my b650 tomahawk a year ago for 100$

[azure topaz]

(recieved wrong board, we kept)

[fringe prairie]

not terrible if it includes ssd

[swift stream]

i got mine brand new

[ebon marlin]

Hence the shit deal

[plush wren]

i mean theres a pic of it on windows but it doesnt say anything in description i can ask the seller, also what about the hp hinge problems idk if its on all models tho

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/nick-fuentes-gif-11267151480883810436

its just hp thinkpad

the issue is on crap no name hp laptops and low ened pavillions

[swift stream]

what about chromebooks

[azure topaz]

it is

[plush wren]

lmfao 240gb

[azure topaz]

238GB SSD space

[fringe prairie]

why

[plush wren]

what about the upgradability

[fringe prairie]

https://www.hp.com/content/dam/sites/garage-press/press/press-kits/2021/ces-2021/hp_elitebook_845_g8_media_spec_sheet.pdf

ram and ssd upgradeable

[plush wren]

splendid

[fringe prairie]

wifi card probably is asw

i would double check

[swift stream]

there are worse

[plush wren]

prob would just add 2 nvmes one for linux one for windows and should be good ig

cpu's fine too? 5 pro 5650u

[fringe prairie]

yeah zen 3 based

should be more than enough

[ebon marlin]

Could probably get double the money from just scraping the pins and selling them to a gold store

[plush wren]

should i buy new sodimm ram or just buy used

[grizzled frost]

you would have to pay me to take that

[fringe prairie]

depends on pricing

[swift stream]

everything i usually buy is new

[plush wren]

[ebon marlin]

Someone here in Finland sold the pins of their AM5 socket and got like around 50€ for it

[plush wren]

well i could buy used from usa but idk if it will end up being the same because the shipping will be like $18 to bosnia + ebay shipping

[swift stream]

i just get teamgroup ram

better than whatever this is

[azure topaz]

i mean yes but realistically go on pcpp instead

i think you tried to find the worst kit you could lowk 😭

actually nvm its just the top result on pcpp with no filters

[swift stream]

this was the top result on microcenter

[azure topaz]

do you even have a micro center near you

https://www.newegg.com/p/1B4-006X-00603?

[swift stream]

in charlotte

[azure topaz]

nvm went out of stock

idk id get one of the cheaper kits that are high biun for some reason and call it good

this is one of the cheapest kits and its also the best ic there probably

[plush wren]

what the fuck since when does thermaltake make ram

[azure topaz]

if you dont need 7200 just downclock to 6000w/ c30 xmp timings, it should work as long as its hynix

which it is cause its 34-42

[swift stream]

and teamgroup is usually on sale, snatched a 32gb 6000mhz ddr5 rgb kit for about 90usd

[azure topaz]

my 7000 C36 1.4V 32GB kit was only 100$ a year ago

my gskill 8000 C38 1.45V 32GB kit was 240$ a week or two ago

i am thinking of purchasing this

was looking for one i could lowball but it seems like thats the cheapest option

or maybe ill just use my 13900KS as a server

idk

[plush wren]

What the fuck the listing I was just looking at disappeared

[swift stream]

i have a i5-7500 lying around somewhere

i have an i7 6700

[azure topaz]

this is equal to an i5 10400

[left trellis]

SIX SEVENNNNNNNNNN

[plush wren]

holy fuck he ended the offer literally 5 mins ago

[azure topaz]

damn

[left trellis]

Might have a 250 usd build going on

[azure topaz]

with a 6700?

[left trellis]

no 2300x

[azure topaz]

thats just sadness

how did it get worse

[left trellis]

😭 its 15 dollars

[azure topaz]

sell the 2300x buy a 2600

or 1600af or 3600 💀 😭

[left trellis]

those are like 40 dollars

[azure topaz]

and would pair great with an also 40-60$ gtx 1070ti

[left trellis]

it would be 200 dollars with a non 100 dollar mobo

[swift stream]

i use a 7600x in my main build with a 6750 xt, but my i5-7500 ranges from 45-109 usd

[left trellis]

selling my 3070 for 160 and a 1080 ti :D

[azure topaz]

45-109 is a terrible price period

[left trellis]

1080 ti MIGHT not work well tho LOLOL

[azure topaz]

this is a terrible option but at least youre getting a decent amount of cash ig

[swift stream]

should I sell it, it goes for 45-256 according to google

[azure topaz]

i would reather take the 280$ i could get for my 3070 and buy a working 1080ti

[left trellis]

whys that

[left trellis]

selling a 3070 for 280 is insane

thats 3080 price 😭

[rigid fjord]

the dual gear for the extruder motor be doing well also, definitely better than the original setup there, i just got to now change the screen at least, do you know if the tft screen from btt works straight with the 4.22/4.27 mainboards?

[azure topaz]

i see them for 250 ish in my area so i mean idk

[left trellis]

I bought it for 175

[azure topaz]

from ebay or your local area

[left trellis]

local

ebay is so buns 💔

[azure topaz]

i dont think youre selling a 200$ build on ebay

[left dove]

it shouuuuuld

[azure topaz]

yeah exactly fuck your local people and scam them

[left trellis]

wdym scam

[azure topaz]

id have listed it for 250

[left trellis]

oh i BEEN had it at 250

[azure topaz]

its not actually a scam but its more than ebay

oh is that the first trade

[left trellis]

itd been at least a month 😭

[azure topaz]

idk bro why the 1080ti 💀

[left trellis]

Some guy offered 220 but ghosted me after I agreed

[azure topaz]

a non working 1080ti

a potentially*

[rigid fjord]

might just get then, instead of going full mainboard swap

[left trellis]

I was told it crashed a lot, hi key just getting it just bc

might work, might be another problem w his pc lol

[azure topaz]

i love G5X gambling

[left trellis]

another person offered me 200 but also ghosted me

[plush wren]

[left trellis]

i need to buy a phone man

[left dove]

a whole person just to be a phone?

[left trellis]

something like that

my 11pro is on its last legs
Front is shattered, back shattered, 1 camera lense is partially broken, and now the touch screen is tweaking 😭

[rigid fjord]

@azure topazthis has a few extra features that presumably only works with btt's mainboards instead, like the fact it can do wifi on it

[azure topaz]

what the HELL is a BTT

i accidentally reacted to your message idk what any of this is

@fringe prairie might just buy a new vivobook (all are oleds):
13500h, 16gb, 512gb 2.8k (not sure if ram is soldered or not cause there are some models that are and arent apparently) - 665€
7520u 16gb, 512gb fhd - 435€
5825u, 16gb, 512gb fhd - 511€
7730u, 16gb, 512gb, fhd - 588€

[fringe prairie]

2.8k is nice but rpl-h kinda eh if you care about battery

third one would be my pick

[plush wren]

this? 5825u, 16gb, 512gb fhd

[fringe prairie]

yes

second one is zen 2 and fourth is rebranded 5800u

[plush wren]

amazing thx solo

u the goat

wtf theres an additional 10%

[dusk patio]

the 7730U is likely the same model as my laptop lol

it's Zen 3, the others you shared are the older Zen 2 CPU design

[plush wren]

[dusk patio]

the only downside of the 7730U is the Vega integrated graphics

[fringe prairie]

nope

5825u is zen3

7520u is zen2 tho

[dusk patio]

wtf so it doesn't follow the same naming convention?

stupid naming

[fringe prairie]

that naming convention only started with 7000 series

[dusk patio]

ah

[dusk patio]

on my Vivobook the RAM is half soldered, half SODIMM, but it's already at the maximum of 16GB IIRC

[plush wren]

holy fuck its not oled

[neon solar]

This doesn't seem right...

[plush wren]

😭

[neon solar]

what is an "CCD" ?

[plush wren]

i searched up vivobook oled on the site and it gave me these and i just realized the models it showed arent oled

[dusk patio]

bruh moment

[neon solar]

Is it even supposed to draw that much power?

[azure topaz]

your cores, its fine

[azure topaz]

yes, dont use hwmonitor though, use hwinfo 64

[fringe prairie]

idle?

[azure topaz]

amd AM5 chips boost as aggressively as they can until 95c

[neon solar]

idle is 30-35

[neon solar]

I just assembled this today. My previous setup was a Ryzen 5 3600 on a Aorus b550 mobo.
Changed it to this processor on a ASUS TUF b850 board.
Used the same cooler that I used on my 5 3600 because it fit. Did I fuck up?
It's some Arctic cooler I don't know the model of because it's 6+ years old

[plush wren]

@fringe prairie 13520h would be fine on a fhd as well right

[azure topaz]

did i not just explain it to you

you didnt fuck up. its fine. the cpu is designed to hit 95c

please please please please pretty please with a small cherry on top research about the parts you are buying somewhat comprehensibly

[neon solar]

and it's perfectly fine and nothing bad will happen ever?

[azure topaz]

bro i cant guarantee that

[neon solar]

cool cool

[azure topaz]

i know that in its current state nothing looks wrong

95c is fine, especially at 140w

[fringe prairie]

it probably depends on the laptop

i'd look at a notebookcheck review and see what battery life figures they're getting

[drifting urchin]

asrock has the worst customer service of all time lmao

i sent email to both msi and asrock about rma a socket on each

roughly the same time, and i was able to contact and recieve rma, before asrock even replied to my intial email.

emailed them back on like friday, still haven heard from them lol

[broken palm]

$55 for 1 gig, $125 for 2 gig $155 for 5 gig

[wheat torrent]

are you going to use more than 1 gig

[carmine yew]

I would 1000% get 1g esp if it's a multi-year price guarantee

[real quiver]

uh oh

i really don't like that

[steel umbra]

$125 for 2 gig bad deal

[real quiver]

i pay like $50/mo for 1 gig

router included (i just replaced their router yesterday)

[broken palm]

1 year price, then $100

[steel umbra]

ew

[broken palm]

I dont even have a problem paying for 5 gig. Just for the fun and lols it'd be nice

[carmine yew]

buy what you want, but you absolutely do not need that much speed

[broken palm]

I'll likely get the 2 gig, but again $25 for an extra 3 gigs is nuts

[steel umbra]

i prefer stable isps over those that offrer you a discount at the beginning and then milk you once it's up

[plush wren]

i mean they're around the same price so its either the 13520h on a fhd or a 13500h on a 2.8k, can't seem to find this specific model on notebook check tho

[carmine yew]

look around, see if they have 2-5 year pricing on their website as options.

I paid a few extra bucks on my internet, but the price is guaranteed for 5 years

no "oops, your year is up, now we double your price" bullshit for a long while

[broken palm]

It's just the discount on first year, then it's locked

discount is only for 1 gig

[steel umbra]

my mom negotiated with the isp that she'd leave if they don't offrer her a cheap price

[broken palm]

the others are locked

[steel umbra]

it worked lol

[carmine yew]

that works sometimes, but not always

[distant frigate]

Yes. Go with fiber

Fiber is better than coax cable

[steel umbra]

worth a try

[carmine yew]

my former ISP tripled my price, so I told them to eat shit when their "best" price was 110$/mo for 400mbit service

[distant frigate]

I went from DOCSIS 3.1 to FTTH from Cox

[steel umbra]

only tripled price

[distant frigate]

Cox communications is planning on doing DOCSIS 4.0

[carmine yew]

I literally went from paying 43 bucks a month to them wanting 125$/mo instead.

fuuuuuuuck that.

[steel umbra]

crazy

[wheat torrent]

there is only 1 ips in my building

[carmine yew]

shockingly as soon as I ditched the service? They started sending me offers for FASTER internet with a 2 year guarantee for like 55 bucks/mo.

[molten ferry]

Need me some expert advice! Going from a EVGA 280 AIO into hopefully something bigger. Currently have a 7800X3D and need to get a new AIO, looking at the 360 line of things and need solid recommendations to replace the old.

[steel umbra]

since my mom interrogated the isp, they haven't raised the prices, prob even less than it was bc inflation

they also provide the most stable service from her experience

[carmine yew]

Is your AIO having issues?

The 7800x3d does NOT draw that much power, so it's not a concern

[distant frigate]

Old coax cable vs new fiber cable

[molten ferry]

It's at least 5 years old and want to replace, well Christmas is around the corner and my mother needs ideas sooooo here I am.

[steel umbra]

how unexpected

[broken palm]

Ok i found out why its $155 a month for 5 gig

[distant frigate]

Lmao. There’s exposed coax cable

[broken palm]

It's 255 monthly, but a lifetime discount of $90 for new customers & 10 autopay discount

[distant frigate]

Literally fully exposed

[carmine yew]

my go-to is the Arctic LF3 Pro. Bitchin' cooler.

[wheat torrent]

I pay 13 dollars

[steel umbra]

though i read their ToS (it's Orange) and uhh not very good privacy terms

[molten ferry]

Non RGB of course lol

[carmine yew]

a RGB Version exists if you really want it

[steel umbra]

https://tosdr.org/en/service/2846 this sums it up

[molten ferry]

RGB go fast..... No the only thing I unfortunately have is RGB ram

[carmine yew]

you can turn that off

and if LCD Screens tickle your fancy, one of these is 1000x better than anything that comes attached to an AIO:
https://www.amazon.com/Phanteks-Universal-Magnetic-2160x1440-backlighting/dp/B0CPTRPRH7

[broken palm]

alright. $30 difference.

2 GIG or 5 GIG. Me and my dad will be splitting the bill, so it won't make a difference for us

[carmine yew]

for 30 bucks? 5 gig

[grizzled frost]

for 30 bucks? 5 gig

[carmine yew]

But you'll need home infra to support 5+ gig

[broken palm]

$125 2 gig $155 5 gig

[azure topaz]

for thirty bucks? 5 gig

[broken palm]

Will be replacing the 5e in the walls with cat 7. Also router will be on my floor so I get best access. Will have Ubiquiti access points

[carmine yew]

cat 7 is more trouble than it's worth. 6A is more than enough.

[molten ferry]

Actually I do have a need but a touchscreen for my audio setup and I think I'm going with a small android os media player. Although finding a 3.5 balanced output is going to be tricky

[broken palm]

for 5 gig? Seriously?

[carmine yew]

you can run 10gbit on 6A

[broken palm]

My question is how easy would it be to get fiber onto the third floor of a house...

[carmine yew]

depends on if there's conduit in the walls

[broken palm]

Floor plan. My room/studio will be on third

Moving in in 2 weeks

[carmine yew]

you might be able to cheat and use HVAC Ducting to drop a fiber cable.

[distant frigate]

Around 6,000 Mbps speeds lost because of WiFi

[magic mirage]

[distant frigate]

WiFi 7 could probably give 3,000-4,000 Mbps symmetrical

i guess if youre looking to reuse your ddr4 the 13400f may be better, but It wouldn't be bad to look into getting a ddr5 system

I'm setting up an older router I have as a BRIDGE to cover some wifi deadzones.. it's Wifiname/SSID should be the same as the main one, right? or do the two routers need more sophisticated software for handoffs?

you should be using a mesh wifi system

[open jewel]

well, yes..but my older router just has a bridge/acess point mode, not mesh

so I'm going to network with the tech i have

[left dove]

Then instead of buying a new router that'll be useless, just sell them both and get a mesh system.

ok, googling, and enough evidence that yes, the bridge router can have the same ssid ...you can set a different one though if your needs are thus.

[neon solar]

So I looked into this more about it being "normal for the 9800X3D to draw more and more power until it throttles" and all the info I could find says it does this when you stress-test, not during a game, so I dunno why the guy posting earlier had to be so condescending about it.
Anyways, I tested 2 games so far- In Dota 2 under max settings it reached 62*C, In Wuthering Waves (apparently more CPU heavy) it reached the 96 degrees shown before.

I guess my question now is - how do I limit this. I want it to cap out at 85 at most

[hexed sage]

Guys

[ebon marlin]

Guys

[plush wren]

Guys.

[carmine yew]

A few options:

1. Get a better cooler

2. Limit your CPU Boost GHz in BIOS

3. Undervolt and see if it helps

4. Ingore it, cuz it's not a problem

[azure topaz]

did you have to do shader compilation? that would be why

your cpu was drawing 140w. that is not a normal gaming loads worth of power

[neon solar]

the game DID do shader comp before the start yeah.... isn't that handled by the GPU?
I didn't notice WHEN it peaked to 96. I only noticed when I closed the game because I there was no fps drops or anything during the 5 minutes i played for.
Gonna load it up again to see if it was that.

[neon solar]

Yeah I shat my pants when I saw that.

[carmine yew]

dramatic, much?

[neon solar]

I was LITERALLY about to jump through the window when I saw those watts!

[azure topaz]

no, not handled by the gpu

cpu does it all

lots of games will compile shaders in the background too

[supple tide]

guys I need help, my pc randomly stopped displaying, it’s turning on, the accessories r turning on everything, about a week ago I switched the hdmi to the mono and it worked (my dad was using it so wasn’t a big deal), but now I went to use it and it’s not even working on the mobo

Okay wait it deadass js worked 😭

[carmine yew]

what does "switched HDMI to the mono" mean?

[neon solar]

Okay, so... been running Wuthering Waves for 10 minutes now... it's not climbing above these very good temps...

But I did also activate the "PBO Enhancement" last restart, cause it's supposed to control boosting and thermals, but I never did find any of the "Profiles" for it so I don't even know if that did anything in the situation...

[carmine yew]

If you don't want temps higher? turn off PBO

PBO is guaranteed to make your chip run hotter

[supple tide]

I meant mobo, idk I just reseated the ram and gpu and I guess it works for now

[neon solar]

The high temp screenshot was from before i turned it on.
Okay so the temps now being normal was unrelated to that.
Turning it back off.

[carmine yew]

if you have a dGPU, plugging into the mobo will frequently result in no video out

[shell crow]

modpack?

[forest wyvern]

I might do

What y’all think?

[vast tusk]

Is there any one here can help me with a networking question?

[carmine yew]

ask the question, and see if you get an answer

[neon solar]

It really looks like it was caused by something temporary, probably the shaders like Floppa said.
Thank you all for patiently helping me understand this.
I will keep monitoring the temps.
Have a great evening. 👋

[vast tusk]

If i ask my question the chat will keep going up and no one will see it because of the chat

firstly use hwinfo not hwmonitor like you're currently doing, secondly pbo doesn't have profiles, it's a manual tuning you do in the advanced mod under aitweaker tab

when you absolutely have to get the micrsocopic detail of everything

[swift moss]

and somehow the street photographers still stay invisible

the more i learn about discord, the more i realise it is very poorly designed, dont make me lose any more faith in this app

[azure topaz]

discord is ass

[wheat torrent]

there is nothing better beacuse all the people are on discord

[azure topaz]

yes

[ebon marlin]

Yeah

[wheat torrent]

it sucks but all people here

[ebon marlin]

Or are niche as hell like Teamspeak

[wheat torrent]

I ain't going to use gilded and talk to 3 guys

[ebon marlin]

Heard teamspeak is really good nowadays but who uses that anymore

[hidden girder]

teamspeak 6/beta is kinda cool

[wheat torrent]

does teamspeak have text channels

[hidden girder]

yes and no

if i am remembering correctly it does, but only on beta servers. and you cant host your own beta servers, only use public ones

[wheat torrent]

I mean yeah it looks nice I guess

but it feels like it has huge focus on speaking

[hidden girder]

in terms of UI and skill floor required to use it doesnt hold a candle to discord unfortunately

[wheat torrent]

discord is a lot more than speaking in VC

[ebon marlin]

Skill floor? I didn't know there's levels to this shit

[hidden girder]

skill floor just means how easy it is to start using

[hidden girder]

TS you need a fucking PHD to deal with all the permissions and all the settings

[hidden girder]

discord is easy as hell to make as server + sort permissions

[wheat torrent]

guilded when I used it felt like a 1:1 copy of discord except they try to make it better by "giving" nitro type bonuses to everyone

[hidden girder]

i mean it pretty much is

[wheat torrent]

one modding community I was in switched to guilded then no one talked in it so it switched back to discord

[grizzled frost]

no one likes guilded

[wheat torrent]

hardest part of any app like

there is secure and privacy focused app that are better than everything else

[hidden girder]

ive been told revolt is pretty good, though still very small and niche

[wheat torrent]

but you can't get people to move to it

[burnt goblet]

guilded is literally shutting down at the end of the year

[wheat torrent]

what you going to do convince everyone to use it? they might use it for a day or two and forget about it later on

[burnt goblet]

hi I'm new

[grizzled frost]

Hi new, I'm Dad

[tulip sparrow]

sighs yeah not sure what I can do about my Lenovo tablet randomly rebooting itself

[hidden girder]

makes sense, it costs money to keep the servers up and they really arent gonna be earning any

[hidden girder]

to be fair, if a sufficiently better alternative comes along people would move

[wheat torrent]

there are a ton

[hidden girder]

better for the average consumer? not better from an enthusianst perspective

[plush wren]

hardly

[hidden girder]

because for the average person, what better alternatives are there than discord?

[grizzled frost]

Part of being a better alternative, isn't just how good the app itself is, but the number of people already using it

[wheat torrent]

this is revolt

[grizzled frost]

it's hard to dethrone discord because part of the appeal of discord is that so many people use discord

[plush wren]

Looks ass

but also i think it'll get to a point of being so bad people will just want to switch over

[wheat torrent]

im not going to use an alternative and talk to myself

[grizzled frost]

the voices...

[hidden girder]

yea, but ignoring the userbase issue, what comes close to discord?

[wheat torrent]

as far as I remember discord didn't really remove much for the average user

[burnt goblet]

I had a guilded account and was basically running the app on startup every day in preparation for making a server and it wasn't until I ultimately deleted my account and uninstalled the app years later when it fell through that I learned that it had been keeping my screensaver and power saving mode from starting up. I have irreversible burn-in on one of my monitors due to guilded

[rigid fjord]

discord 3.0?

[wheat torrent]

so they didn't inherently make the experience worse for discord users

[plush wren]

guilded looked fucking ass

[wheat torrent]

they just added more shit

[hidden girder]

guilded was ugly as hell + somehow managed to run worse than discord

then other than guilded what is there for the average person to use? we could all go back to skype

[swift moss]

this worth the 50?

[hidden girder]

TS3 and mumble are just dated as hell

[plush wren]

no ltt server on skype

[hidden girder]

TS6 is beta

[grizzled frost]

got a link?

[hidden girder]

i see a hole in the market

[swift moss]

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1334247021774370?
AMIS 120 maybe?

[bronze summit]

I'm sleepy anyways The Elder Scrolls 6 is coming in 2028 of November

[grizzled frost]

now to buy it before you can!

[swift moss]

haha go ahead lol

[swift moss]

https://www.casa.co.nz/equipment/audio/amps/AMIS-120-Data_2p.pdf

[plush wren]

Ngl just pay roblox games to switch over to your platform

[rigid fjord]

so, skyrim remastered?

[hidden girder]

actually i take back what i said, with now consoles having discord intergration

we might be stuck with this shit

[wheat torrent]

we are stuck even without console integration

discord is kinda goofy but as far as I know nothing got put behind paywall

[hidden girder]

without console there was a small chance of something sufficiently better coming along and people moving slowly

[wheat torrent]

no there is no chance anytime soon

[burnt goblet]

I think it's really funny how roblox bought guilded and positioned it as being a serious competitor to discord before they tanked it within a year and then rolled out official discord integrations instead

[wheat torrent]

discord is too big for there to be another alternative for people to move in a timely manner

[plush wren]

goats

[wheat torrent]

260 million monthly active users

even back in 2019 discord was pretty big imo

lot's of the communities I been in was discord only

[plush wren]

yea it was

i'd say 2017 too

cuz i joined in 2017

[wheat torrent]

now at this rate soon it will grow more in a year than there was people back in 2019

realistically speaking what kind of app can you create that will take away users from discord and be popular

there is simply nothing you can do

[hidden girder]

i mean lierally everything i hear about roblox is negative, so it doesnt surprise me they drove guilded ito the ground.
their predatory model, their predatory model, their back door support of gambling/black marketetplaces, the child labour, everything is negative
Beyond just being a half decent game platform i dont think ive ever seen a single good thing about roblox

[plush wren]

what support of gambling

[wheat torrent]

discord adding ways for people to host servers for their games in a few clicks using boosts soon

[hidden girder]

there are so many roblox games that have gambling, black market sites like with CSGO gambling

[wheat torrent]

this seems like a huge feature

[forest wyvern]

Nope it’s something

[white pawn]

Can someone recommend me a reputable 1440p240 monitor for under CA$300? I found this one but a review says it has backlight bleed. https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/25-29-gaming-monitors/270990/acer-nitro-vg272u-27-wqhd-240hz-0-5ms-gaming-monitor-umhv2aa203.html

[plush wren]

yes

[rigid fjord]

check reviews on rtings.com agaisnt any display you see @white pawn

[wheat torrent]

I got my g7 for ~300 usd

[white pawn]

300 USD is well over my budget

[rigid fjord]

that's like 600-900 cad

[wheat torrent]

WHAT

[hidden girder]

man roblox reminds me why i fucking hate monopolies

[white pawn]

No it's 420

[wheat torrent]

I thought it was 1.2:1 or something

[hidden girder]

damn, monopoly money is weak asf atm

[white pawn]

Which money is monopoly money

[hidden girder]

canadian

[burnt goblet]

how important is it that it be 240hz? I have a dell monitor that's 2k 155hz that's served me well over the years and I think I got it at around that price

[wheat torrent]

lets fucking go

[white pawn]

240 hz is the sweet spot for me

[wheat torrent]

its back to nearly 17

[hidden girder]

IS IT TIME TO INVEST IN MOLDOVAN LEU BOYS?

[wheat torrent]

after trump it nearly reached 16

[hidden girder]

ITS GOING TO THE MOON

[wheat torrent]

it works in reverse though

the higher it goes the weaker it is

[hidden girder]

oh right yea, uhhhh

its going to hell?

[wheat torrent]

I get paid in USD so

if it goes up I get more

[hidden girder]

time to wall st bets the moldovan leu

[dry gust]

I hate to ask but does anyone here know their way around an apple pencil? I'm at my wit's end

[hidden girder]

i believe in Romania's vestigial organ becoming Europe's superpower. Chisnau will be the new economic center of the world

[wheat torrent]

surely

yk what I would want discord to implement

16:9 discord is fine

but once you use something like 8:9 and you have members enabled and channels enabled you can't see shit

[hidden girder]

you can shrink the bit on the left

[wheat torrent]

you can hide members but I think they can do better

[wheat torrent]

wdym

[hidden girder]

like

[wheat torrent]

you can hide members

[hidden girder]

mouse over the edge and you get the arrow thing

and you can make it wider/narrower

[wheat torrent]

yeah but it don't go long

[burnt goblet]

I run in on half of my 1080p monitor, can't imagine people who run discord stretched across their entire screen

[wheat torrent]

ohhh also this is a thing

[hidden girder]

based asf

[wheat torrent]

like this is a good example of what would be cool

[hidden girder]

i guess, though i would say rather than that, just a way to quick hide the panel on the left

like what are you gonna do with random #s when you cant see what the channel actually is

[wheat torrent]

I think hovering is better over click

[ebon marlin]

7800x3d for 270€

[hidden girder]

i think you should but it

100% definitely

[ebon marlin]

It's legit

But too bad I already bought a 7800x3d a week ago

Was like 280€ i think

[random junco]

minimising the member section to only pfps would be cool, not so sure about the channel one though, but the option would still be good

[ebon marlin]

286€ for tray cpu

[azure topaz]

gud

idk what i paid for my 265k, 309.99 i think?
