[strange atlas]

Is it worth it to give overpay over for 990 pro instead of getting kioxia exceria pro

[grizzled frost]

no

[empty heron]

They are roughly same price tho no?

[strange atlas]

not in here

[strange atlas]

25 dollar differencein here

is it worth the overpay

[empty heron]

Nah

[strange atlas]

i tought 990 pro was the best at best

[empty heron]

I would say its like when comparing someone who is 5.11 to 6 feet

[grizzled frost]

except the 990 pro is the dude who is 5.11

[empty heron]

Basically who ever is more expensive is 5.11

[strange atlas]

you sold it to me thanks

[grizzled frost]

Not even the price, samsung drives are just some of the least reliable drives according to third party testing

[rigid fjord]

i'd get a wd sn5000 instead

[rigid fjord]

nope, never has been, i'd go lexar, teamgroup or wd instead

[empty heron]

Idk my drives are pushing 7y without noticeable difference

Personal bias

[unborn bobcat]

6000 CL36 seems to be the issue, works at 4800, how to proceed to get it working, what voltages should I mess with
9800X3D & X870 Arsock Pro RS Wifi

[grizzled frost]

Actually the old samsung drives do quite well

drives sold in the last few years are the issue

[empty heron]

My most modern is og 950 pro

[rigid fjord]

what ram exactly, and what bios version?

[unborn bobcat]

Corsair Vengeance RGB CMH32GX5M2E6000C36W
Latest BIOS

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/memory/cmh32gx5m2e6000c36w/vengeance-rgb-32gb-2x16gb-ddr5-dram-6000mts-cl36-memory-kit-white-cmh32gx5m2e6000c36w

[dusk patio]

what are we defining as the "last few years" like is my 970 Evo old now

[rigid fjord]

yeah, quite literally the ram itself in this case, least reliable ram to get

[unborn bobcat]

Well literaly the only few in stock

Still, should work at assigned speeds ?
It this SOC issue ?

I have DDR4 3600 and I got it working with a tiny bit more SOC and DRAM voltage, not sure what to do on DDR5

And 3600 is out of the sweet spot for ryzen 5000 and I got it to work

[rigid fjord]

well am5 cpu's won't work with ddr4 tbf

[unborn bobcat]

DDR5 is a pain
Sure my DDR4 is probably more premium (TridendZ ones)

Yes just sharing my experience with DDR4

But DDR5 is more troublesome

[dapper nexus]

thats 1tb samsung right

[rigid fjord]

and 3600 is an easy oc with 5000 series amd's without the need for an increase in both soc and dram voltages

[unborn bobcat]

Not on my 5900X aparently (needed SOC voltage)

[empty heron]

Ye

[dapper nexus]

i would get that over the other, pretty sure its WAY faster

[tawny lava]

Is there any way to hide this keyboard cable on my desk

[hallow jasper]

Yes. drill a hole

[dapper nexus]

drill a small hole underneath the mousepad

or right behind it

[strange atlas]

any recommendation for spesific model

[dapper nexus]

i would just get a nice looking coiled cable instead tho

if its even detachable

[strange atlas]

lexars are expensive

[azure topaz]

imo the only way to make this look good is to make the cable itself look good

if you cant hide the cables make them beautiful - that one guy who made the murderbox

[dapper nexus]

idk what keyboard it is and if the cable is detachable

[azure topaz]

if not its joever

[dapper nexus]

yep it is

[azure topaz]

(a hole would work fine, but look a little out of place)

between cable and random little hole in my desk im choosing cable i think

[dapper nexus]

also if he swaps keyboards ever and lets say the cable is on the left side it would look kinda akward imo

[strange atlas]

Can get one of these

Team MP33 Pro
Western Digital Black SN7100
Western Digital Black SN770
Western Digital Green SN350

[dapper nexus]

maybe if he wants to swap out keyboards, wait for black friday and look for a keyboard with a detachable cable OR get a wireless keyboard 🤷‍♂️

[azure topaz]

true

[peak swan]

Lmfao
Wtf
I got a free year from some random account
Made today as well so double weird

[dapper nexus]

i called them today to make 1 adjustment, i got a x870e mobo instead of b650 since it was only 70 euro more

[steel umbra]

happened to me as well

it was a month tho

[dapper light]

good chance it's bought with stolen credit card

[peak swan]

Welp

I ain't complaining as long as i don't get banned

[dapper nexus]

neat, i can't wait to get my build in

[grizzled frost]

2-3 years

[wheat torrent]

tarkov releasing soon

[grizzled frost]

and yes, 4+ year old hardware is quite old as far as electronics go

[carmine yew]

7

[grizzled frost]

Okay?

[carmine yew]

so yes, 7 year old SSD is old

[grizzled frost]

Mhm

[dusk patio]

nah actually mine is the Evo Plus so newer, but I bought it in 2022 only

[carmine yew]

okay so 2019 instead of 18. Still 6+ years old, nearly 7 now

[dusk patio]

at the time (2022) it wasn't worth buying the new PCIe 4.0 ones bcs they were expensive af

[grizzled frost]

in this case old is good, as samsung drives started to go downhill 2/3 years ago

regardless of model, their manufacturing tolerances/QC just when down

[carmine yew]

sort of, I had a 970 Evo 1TB frag itself at 1/20th expected TBW

[empty quartz]

Sounds like a samsung ssd

[dusk patio]

if mine dies I would just upgrade to a 2TB PCIe 4.0 drive

[empty quartz]

Actually, 2021 seems to be when issues started

[carmine yew]

my new build has more NVME Drives than it needs, but IDC.

[grizzled frost]

Sounds about right, i wasn’t quite certain on the exact timeline

[carmine yew]

#tech-chat-2 message

[dusk patio]

so who has the most reliable SSDs now?

[carmine yew]

any reputable brand with TLC NAND

[empty quartz]

I love my tlc micron ssd :3

[dusk patio]

but you guys are saying not samsung anymore and they used to be very good for SSDs

so idk who's reputable now

[carmine yew]

samsung is still good

[empty quartz]

Ive had 2 samsung ssd’s just randomly fail atp

[carmine yew]

but do not buy based on brand name, buy based on the specific product

[empty quartz]

They were both 99% health

[dusk patio]

ye for sure

I think the 870 Evo in my mom's laptop is probably going to outlive the laptop

[empty quartz]

Fuck no

[carmine yew]

it very well may

[empty quartz]

870 evo’s love to die

[carmine yew]

sauce or it's bullshit

[empty quartz]

?

[dusk patio]

the QVO are the ones that die from what I read

evo is supposed to last longer

[carmine yew]

https://tenor.com/view/i-need-more-evidence-colin-jost-saturday-night-live-i-need-more-convincing-give-me-proof-gif-21131376

[empty quartz]

I also have a 870 evo that randomly died

[formal sonnet]

As others have said, don't buy based on brand, buy based on model. But... Kioxia is definitely up there, both in terms of price and reliability.

[dusk patio]

manufactured before 2021 so hers is fine then I think

[strange atlas]

Wait does kioxia exceria pro have any errors

any fatal ones too

[south arrow]

Ya ace drop the sauceeee

Keks

[carmine yew]

you're gonna confuse the poor kid

[south arrow]

I know whatcha meant lol

[empty quartz]

Im not a kid

Nor am i confused

[south arrow]

Ace myte be older then me

Solid chance 50/50 not much id imagine though

[empty quartz]

No

[south arrow]

[dusk patio]

ha here in quebec it's 18

[south arrow]

I was just judging by hands lol

[empty quartz]

Whar

[dusk patio]

hands?

[south arrow]

Ace shows himself fixing stuff all i can tell is he was about my size xD

[empty quartz]

Quebec is worse than east hastings

[dusk patio]

wtf is east hastings

[empty quartz]

My hands make a 16 pro max look small

[rose stream]

To be frank, I've never seen you as the cognizant type either. Lmao.

[empty quartz]

Fuck off jp <3

Or should i say

Jopen Psource

[south arrow]

XD

[lapis talon]

can someone download the Quest Link software and install it to see if it works 💀

[empty quartz]

It does

[lapis talon]

hehhh

can you send a SS

[empty quartz]

No

[lapis talon]

dawg

[empty quartz]

Its user error if its not working

[south arrow]

Here lies blix

[lapis talon]

ragebait is crazy

[south arrow]

May he rest in peacee

[empty quartz]

Not ragebait

[south arrow]

Keks aside im not familiar

[lapis talon]

Ive tried everything and its not working

[empty quartz]

Wired or wireless

[lapis talon]

OVRLibraryService was the only service that popped up for a sec and then disappears when the installer throws me that error

[lapis talon]

I cant even install the software dawg

[empty quartz]

[lapis talon]

meta support got 0 clue

[empty quartz]

Restart your computer

[lapis talon]

very funny

[empty quartz]

?

[lapis talon]

ive tried forcefully giving my account full ownership of the oculus directory in case the file cant read and access it

but still didnt work

you want to look at the log?

[empty quartz]

Try doing a windows restart

[lapis talon]

I've tried Test Mode as well fyi

[azure topaz]

did you restart your computer like it asked or are we actually troubleshooting

[lapis talon]

YES DUH

Ive tried everything available on the internet

[azure topaz]

dont duh me knowing how stupid people are here

ive had people ask me how to enter a command into cmd

[lapis talon]

Ive already sort of answered that question earlier

[azure topaz]

its literally in that sentence

[empty quartz]

By restart did you just do a shut down

[lapis talon]

pls I wouldnt be active in this server if I was that dumb

[azure topaz]

i see you like once a month

[lapis talon]

I have had this problem for over a day now

yes I have

[lapis talon]

I still know at least what Im talking about even if its a little

and thats not the issue here

[empty quartz]

Dont just shut it off

Do a proper windows restart

[lapis talon]

without fast boot right?

[empty quartz]

Yes

[azure topaz]

do you have these installed

[lapis talon]

I would love to do that if it even showed up

[empty quartz]

Restart disables fast boot

[lapis talon]

let me check, I did a full pc reset a few monthsa go

[empty quartz]

Temporarily*

[lapis talon]

done that several dones

[rose stream]

Dangit, of course someone still remembers that dead joke...

[azure topaz]

download the techpowerup C++ all in one

[fervent schooner]

Ive just bought a 2080 ti as my 1070 broke i have a 550w power supply i put all my parts into pc picker and it says it will use around 450w but google recommends minimum 650w for the power supply so is it ok?

[azure topaz]

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwieg8Xo6eqQAxXfIzQIHS3DESYQFnoECCoQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.techpowerup.com%2Fdownload%2Fvisual-c-redistributable-runtime-package-all-in-one%2F&usg=AOvVaw1th7blUaaRMK9uKfrEKGkl&opi=89978449

[empty quartz]

you throw shade at me, i throw some back

[random gyro]

Everyone got steelseries mousepad?

[lapis talon]

alright 1 sec

[empty quartz]

No

850w minimum

[rose stream]

I... Don't actually know what brand mine is. My little brother just gave me his old desk-sized one and that's been it since. Lol.

[empty quartz]

Anywho, hows life jp

[bronze summit]

Had one before

[lapis talon]

tried that earlier, didnt do anything

it installs the stuff from Meta servers

[random gyro]

now which one?

[bronze summit]

Apex XXL iirc

[rose stream]

Currently trying not to give too much a damn about a certain youtbuber/streamer I know trying to "do a sysadmin's job" again, starting another SMP server and already running into tons of issues he doesn't know how to solve and his extra hands can just do themselves without him being present.

[fervent schooner]

It says 650w on googke

[empty quartz]

Google isnt always right

[lapis talon]

alright done and restarted

[rose stream]

The frustration is coming from me knowing the problems, offering multiple times to fix it, and him not only is ignoring advice but also trying to throw money, minor fixes, and the wrong software (Folia) at the problem to either NOT fix it or somehow make it more complicated than before.

[wheat torrent]

I think the recommended is literally the equivalent of a ps5

[lapis talon]

didnt work

[lapis talon]

now what

[steel umbra]

which cpu

650w will be fine if your cpu is low-modest powah vacuum

[lapis talon]

@empty quartz @azure topaz

[empty quartz]

@rose stream side note, have you seen my new laptop?

[swift moss]

i love scams

[steel umbra]

not a scam technically, trap for audiophiles

[swift moss]

i mean yeah i guess

[rose stream]

Uuuhhh no. . . . Why should I?

[steel umbra]

my $10 dacs will perform 99% of that chunky box ;>

[swift moss]

give me a 100k (half the price of the amp) salary and i'll build and produce that within a year of my time maximum and have it be acoustically amazing

[steel umbra]

and no, blasting my ears with 140db isn't that 1%

[swift moss]

well no not really this is power amplifier

a DAC can't power speakers directly

[steel umbra]

ohh i thought it was headphone dac/amp only

[empty quartz]

Unless its a combo

[swift moss]

yeah integrated amplifiers

[steel umbra]

still overpriced

1000 times

[swift moss]

i mean dacs more expensive than the mojo 2 are a scam too

[plush wren]

16 bytes of ram

[swift moss]

ts doesn't even have a pricetag

[steel umbra]

anything above $1k as of dac/amps is overpriced unless we're talking about proprietary headphone combos (which are questionable)

[swift moss]

d'agostino only famous because they pioneered some stuff everyone has now

[swift moss]

yeah maybe

over 1k could still be worth it for premium components

i could design an amp with raw material cost of around 1k

[steel umbra]

for 500 you should be able to get decent components that last for quite a while

[swift moss]

yeah i have a premium design for around 70usd

there are cost savings like passive low pass filters instead of opamp filters employed but it's pretty high end

[steel umbra]

like 1k... okay if you're going for something really aesthetically pleasing

[swift moss]

i mean components are expensive

[steel umbra]

but you might as well just buy 5 portable oled panels and stick them around the dac and display whatever you want

[swift moss]

especially when touching dolby licensing and going to ht preamps

[steel umbra]

they are... but not that expensive

[swift moss]

15000nzd probably nearly worth it

[swift moss]

dolby charges a lot too

i'm circumventing that a little bit by writing FPGA decoders but still

raspberry pi's with eARC and ffmpeg aren't the most latency amazing solution

very nice preamp ngl i'd say this is the most i'd ever pay for one and it's actually more worth it than those 35k 2 channel preamps with nothing but a 20x20cm circuit board

[azure topaz]

check device manager for anything oculus related

[swift moss]

15k of effort at least ig

[steel umbra]

alternatives prob exist

[swift moss]

to what?

[steel umbra]

dolby atmos

[azure topaz]

should be under display adaptors and such, right click, uninstall, and attempt to remove driver for this device

[swift moss]

not at all brochacho

[azure topaz]

restart after and pray

[swift moss]

every single virtual surround blu-ray released comes with either dolby truehd+atmos or dts-hd + dts-x

and a step down, most come with either e-ac3, ac3 or dts-hd, dts-hd ma

and atmos doesn't even have documentation, all we have is ffmpeg reverse engineering

and I don't really want to copy over C code to FPGA, seems like not the most efficient way

[lapis talon]

nope theres nothing

[fervent schooner]

Its only a ryzen 5 3600

[random gyro]

SteelSeries QCK Heavy or Razer Gigantus V2? Which one to choose?

[fervent schooner]

16gb of ram 2080 ti and a ryzen 5 3600 i thought 550w what be more then elugy

[ebon marlin]

Garbage vs trash type of question

[random gyro]

Damn

[random gyro]

What's the 3rd then

[ebon marlin]

Are you looking for a deskmat?

Or a regular mousepad

[random gyro]

I would play valorant, work (programming)

Story Mode games, etc

[ebon marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/lebron-bron-lebron-james-lebron-confused-confused-gif-18237122299358595415

[ivory mountain]

Subtract 40 from the knicks score

[bitter rampart]

Ok this is cool

[random gyro]

can you answer ?

[fervent schooner]

.

[ebon marlin]

I have no idea about your setup on deskmat vs mousepad

[ebon marlin]

550w is fine no problemo

[fervent schooner]

Ye but people have been saying i need atleast 750w

[steel umbra]

650w is plenty

[ebon marlin]

When it comes to deskmats I'd recommend the Corsair MM350

Not the Pro with the graphic on it the pure black one

[fervent schooner]

I only have 550w

[ebon marlin]

550w is plenty

[ivory mountain]

670w

[steel umbra]

Thanks for your knowledge

[steel umbra]

Which unit

model name

[swift moss]

this pisses me off im not going to lie

you're paying an extra 5 dollars per IC for balanced output just to crunch it into single ended

[random gyro]

https://www.amazon.in/Ant-Esports-Stitched-Waterproof-Non-Slip/

I have this one, I am thinking of buying new one for gaming and normal work too

[steel umbra]

You haven't seen oscilloscopes

[fervent schooner]

Its a super flower SF-550F 14HG

[vestal dirge]

$259 7800x3d from aliexpress when combined with klarna checkout and coupon
anyone know if this is real?

[steel umbra]

they make you pay for the components only to artificially limit them

[fervent schooner]

Around 4-5 years old

[steel umbra]

and you pay more for "higher" end models

that are just fw unlocked

[swift moss]

i mean yeah but their firmware is pretty valuable

[swift moss]

why can't you just flash new one?

[steel umbra]

You can

people do that all the time

[fervent schooner]

So should I js buy a 850w

[swift moss]

oh rlly might need to try that
cop a cheap oscilloscope and flash better stuff

[steel umbra]

i wanted to also buy a certain oscilloscope and do that myself

[swift moss]

idek who makes tiered oscilloscopes, maybe like rigol or siglent

[ebon marlin]

These are real but what's the coupon?

[swift moss]

i dont think keysight does that

[vestal dirge]

its on the website

like under the title

[ebon marlin]

I already have a 7800x3d recently but I'm curious as I paid 280€ for a tray one

[steel umbra]

Ye

[fervent schooner]

Will it do the job

[vestal dirge]

"1.The CPU is brand new and shipped loose! It is normal to have no packaging and slightear or stains on the surface.If you mind, please do not purchase.
2.The CPU is manufactured in China or Malaysia, randomly delivered, and does not accept specified production countries. If you mind, please do not purchase."

[steel umbra]

siglent for sure and rigol i think as well

[vestal dirge]

its so sus though and how is it so cheap

[swift moss]

what kinda price are we talking about and how much are we saving? cuz i was just thinking about upgrading to a cheap fnirsi digital

[vestal dirge]

this too

[ebon marlin]

This is normal AMD recently started doing that

[swift moss]

how is more capacitors "the same functional performance" 😭

[ebon marlin]

Newer manufacturered cpus come like that

[vestal dirge]

so youre saying this $259 7800x3d is real

[limpid dune]

god mf damn, $50 is insane

[steel umbra]

~ €699 -> €399 (sds804x flashed to sds824x)

[ebon marlin]

Yes

[fervent schooner]

Is a fortune for me in the uk

[ebon marlin]

People buy AM5 cpus very regularly through AliExpress since it's cheaper

[fervent schooner]

351£ on the ali express

[ebon marlin]

7500F most commonly for budget builds

[vestal dirge]

and what if i get a ryzen 5 7600 with just the "7800x3d" lid on top

[swift moss]

looks photoshopped

[ebon marlin]

Nah

These are legit

[swift moss]

i mean yeah slashing the price in half i guess hmm

[vestal dirge]

what if it isnt how will i get my money back

[fervent schooner]

Isk what to do chatgpt said my power supplies fune aswell

[steel umbra]

I bought aliexpress cpus, (7400f and 7700) sketch but legit

[ebon marlin]

AliExpress has the strongest customer support system

[swift moss]

70mhz -> 200mhz lmfaoo

[swift moss]

strongest at fighting back your claim

[ebon marlin]

I applied for a refund on a 35€ laptop battery I received and I got my refund without having to provide any evidence lmao

[ebon marlin]

Hell nah

[steel umbra]

We're back in 2000's but instead of overclocking cpus we do oscilloscopes

[swift moss]

idek they asked me for like videos for a broken cable lol

[vestal dirge]

yeah ive gotten refunds no questions asked on like $5 items

[limpid dune]

never forget what they took from us

[swift moss]

LMFAOOOOO

[ebon marlin]

Their customer support is same tier as ebay

[vestal dirge]

this is $260 which is a lot to spend on something with no warranty

[swift moss]

idkkk

[ebon marlin]

They also asked for proof but honestly I just ignored it so they gave me the refund at the end

[swift moss]

😭 what

[ebon marlin]

Do nothing

• win

[hexed sage]

So is the thing about am5 b650 boards support being ended true?

[ebon marlin]

No

[swift moss]

in aliexpress we trust

[hexed sage]

You sure?

[ebon marlin]

AliExpress is literally just Chinese Amazon

It's a marketplace for vendors

[ebon marlin]

Chinese amazon meant for westerners

[vestal dirge]

yeah i love aliexpress for sure but i only buy cheap items

[steel umbra]

Amazon has turned into aliexpress*

I think taobao is more akin to amazon

[steel umbra]

I thought intel made a 7500F 😭

[azure topaz]

oh not all of them do @swift moss do it

[limpid dune]

they either photoshopped "3D" on the end or they photoshopped the 8 into a 7. Either way it looks clean as hell

[azure topaz]

they changed X3D at the end lol

[left dove]

7600f

[hexed sage]

Close enough

[azure topaz]

no nvm they changed the 8

the 7 is taller you can see if you zoom in

ur moms an 8

hmmm

okay, someone please elaborate how someone spoofs a cpu

[steel umbra]

100% no risk guarantee

[plush wren]

Just do it

[azure topaz]

like logically

its more filtering or something, whatever those caps do

[left dove]

like I get spoofing a gpu with a vbios but how tf does it work with cpus

fuckin' microcode or some shit?

[azure topaz]

if its not filtering i assume its going to be harmful to the cpu but thats like what science is for

[limpid dune]

Zen chips let you edit the MSRs, which is one way. You can also use a well made VM (cpuid triggers VMEXIT which can act as an instruction trap) or overmount /proc/cpuinfo like we did

just move it up a fin or 2

660* my bad the 450 is amd

[limpid dune]

just look up the parts and add it up
||5070 is 250W, i5 is ~220W at peak, given 100W extra power for everything else you're probably good with 600W||

[azure topaz]

leave my state

[hallow jasper]

600W units aren't common anymore outside of really low end stuff. A while back well before most people here, Jonnyguru was a member here and he explained why you really only see x50 variations.

i used to have a sticker that was a message from jonny that just said "your mom"

but whatever server it was (it was the one in my tag) musta removed it

[hallow jasper]

What's the actual model. Gold typically referrers to the efficiency, not quality.

TT makes sells some good PSU's and some really, really bad ones.

most thermaltake gold units however are good

all thermaltake white units are bad

all evga white units are bad

EVGA W1

i cant get to the Model# without pulling it out. it just says "thermaltake smart series power supply 600W"

Hiya guys. Just finished a new build and ive got two problems.

1. The 9070XT swift has AWFULLY annoying coil whine. Anything i can do about it?

2. the system is quite loud actually. Im rocking a Lancool 207, with swapped out fans P12 Pros and P14 Pros, while the CPU is being cooled by the Nautilus 360 RS. My fan curve already looks very exponential and its still quite loud.

[topaz shale]

RMA ur 9070xt and get better fans

[glad skiff]

if i bought it off i retailer i go to that retailer for an RMA right?

which fans would you suggest? i thought the Arctic P's were good but im quite dissatisfied with them

[topaz shale]

if you are within return period of the retailer you should be able to return it there. if not, you likely have a manufactures warranty with whoever produces the card, such as asus, pny, msi, etc.

[glad skiff]

great. thanks.

[topaz shale]

you have to have intent to wake up. if you have a goal for yourself to wake up for, like a morning run, make breakfast, etc. you will find it much easier to wake up in the morning

if you dont intend on waking up at 6am its very unlikely the loudest alarm you can find will help you wake up

good night im actively falling asleep

5060ti 16gb vs Radeon 9070 16gb what do we think

[swift moss]

😭

[swift moss]

nono i know how it works, i want to know how to write to the registers

[south arrow]

I was just looking for me lol

[sinful cobalt]

return the 9070xt and get another

you simply lost the lottery for coil whine

[cosmic idol]

I need something that shakes my bed like a mag 9 earthquake and crows squawking out of concert speakers

[random gyro]

9070 for gaming, 5060ti for everything else and gaming

[pseudo thicket]

Im building my first pc i have one but its prebuilt

[random jolt]

Hey guys I got a question

I need to find an alternative to the Deathadder, I love the shape and weight but i dont think its durable enough

any takers?

[hardy horizon]

Alrighty I think I have the build done, took 2 days, a lot of learning, and a lot of input from the community. But after 26 hours I think we have it! How does it look?

He has prebuilt but is building a new pc

[vale lotus]

What do you mean

[ivory mountain]

you made me click on ur server tag for nothing

[random gyro]

9070 pretty good for gaming, but eh for some productivity tasks

[random jolt]

need.mouse.ples

[random gyro]

go 5060ti if you do streaming and stuff

[random gyro]

heres a g502

[ivory mountain]

but the 9070xt has av1 and other much-improved encoders

Hello all. I'm in the middle of building my first pc and I just had a couple questions mostly about tuning components. If I have a 9800x3D, is it even worth it to tighten up RAM timings or not really?

[random jolt]

is great but i need something with the shape of a deathadder

[vale lotus]

I try sometimes

[pseudo thicket]

Im building my first pc

[random gyro]

also dlss (if youre into that)

[random jolt]

like ram speed?

[vale lotus]

As long as it doesn't cause the weird glitches like frame gen

[opal dock]

Like the latencies

[swift heart]

Hello Folks was stupid and installed a third m2 on my rog Maximus Hero z790 after booting and a Test i noticed that my 5090 went from 600w at 100% to only 450ish at 100% removed the m2 but the Problem persists any ideas how to fix it? Allready tried to f5 in BIOS with no successI guess its the pcie lanes that got Split but dont See the Option to change it Back to 16

[pseudo thicket]

ikr

[random jolt]

you should be fine.

[ivory mountain]

omg ur username is so peak

[random gyro]

just choose based on how you use the computer

[random jolt]

i just caught that

God damn it lol

[vale lotus]

Mainly gaming

[opal dock]

Alright word, thanks. I was debating whether to set it to the 6400mHz CL38 EXPO profile or the 6000mHz CL36 one and tighten the timing to 34. Gonna just keep it on the 6400mHz profile probably

I think it's A-Die so not much head room for more performance

[opal dock]

Thank you lol

[ivory mountain]

just do 6000 and tighten the timings, timings matter way more than ppl think

Okay. I'll probably drop it from 36-38-38-80 to 34-36-36-76 to

[strange atlas]

Can you refund a television?

[opal dock]

One step down seems to be the limit on my set of ram from what I can see on Tom's Hardware site. They tested this exact kit

[ivory mountain]

do subtimings too, and on am5 u dont have to worry about that last timing

i got my 6000 cl38-38-38-78 kit to cl28-36-36-126

[random jolt]

yea man, youre gucci dw about it

the real performance difference is kinda small. usually around 3% from what i can find online

[random jolt]

damn thats dope asf

[opal dock]

Oh wow

[ivory mountain]

boiii what if it was 6-7%

[random jolt]

if its still under 10%, its gucci

[opal dock]

I'm honestly not even sure what all the timings mean. I need to do more research haha

[random jolt]

like we are strictly talking about gaming performance right

[opal dock]

Me personally that's all I care about

I'm tired of running shit at barely 80 fps on my Laptop

[random jolt]

say we use Battlefield 6 for a benchmark

its only like a 5-7 fps difference

[opal dock]

Oh god I can't wait to see what BF6 looks like on this baby. I can barely run it stable on all low rn

[ivory mountain]

between my gpu and ram OC my perf is like 15% better but its mostly noticable in the 1% lows

[random jolt]

yeaaaaa

[random jolt]

absolutely

[ivory mountain]

my XMP profile with auto subtimings had my shit stuttering

[opal dock]

What does the last timing do?

The 126 one

[ivory mountain]

in fortnite terms its basically how long you have to interact with a chest before picking up the loot

[opal dock]

LMAO

I see others online saying to set it to 126 as well so imma do that and see how far I can push the rest of timings and still stay stable

[ivory mountain]

126 is the highest it can go cause theirs no reason to change it on am5 cause its not used on am5

[opal dock]

That probably frees up voltage to get the rest of the timings lower if I'm understanding correctly?

[ivory mountain]

not rly id go in #overclocking cause im dumb compared to the mfs in there

[oblique jay]

Anyone know much about laptops? My dads after getting one on ebay between like £150-£250m used is fine, he doesnt play much on it but his ones dying. He plays Total War / Rome 2 so nothing demanding.

If anyone able to send any that would be worth would appreciate it

[waxen shell]

You get 80 fps?!1?!1?!1!

8 gigabit symmetrical lmao

[waxen shell]

I get 60 down, 15 up

[distant frigate]

I have 300 down 300 up

[cosmic idol]

I get
40/20

[distant frigate]

I could get 2,000 down and 2,000 up if I wanted to

[waxen shell]

How

[distant frigate]

Fiber

[cosmic idol]

max speed for my home is like 500/40 or smth stupid

[waxen shell]

Ok

[distant frigate]

Full fiber internet

[cosmic idol]

Upload speeds are kneecapped so hard here

[distant frigate]

Here’s the fiber cable at the side of the house. Also the fiber distribution box where the fiber cable is connected to

[cosmic idol]

Like
You don’t get over 50 up on high end plans unless you’re a business or organisation

[opal dock]

On 1080p with DLSS turned to performance. I'm surprised seeing as my VRAM is almost entirely maxed out at like 5.6/6 GB. Makes my CPU and GPU jump almost immediately to like 95-100% usage when the game starts loading

[cosmic idol]

lmao

[waxen shell]

Is this price bueno or no bueno, I don’t have internet knowledges

[cosmic idol]

That’s in aud
Full plan price is 139 aud a month
And iirc it’s not great

[waxen shell]

Ok

[lapis furnace]

i have 10000 questions rn

[gray sierra]

Okay Tommy

[topaz shale]

thats copper for ya

my local copper is around 130mbps capped, other people are over 300mbps

[cosmic idol]

It’s not even the copper that’s the issue here as far as I’m aware
We can get 500mbps down
Australia just has no upload speeds for whatever reason

[topaz shale]

copper can have high download speeds but not symmetrical upload.

[cosmic idol]

No plans are symmetrical
Max upload is like 250
With a download speed of like 2000mbps which you have to pay an absurd amount for

[topaz shale]

best plan offered where im at is 2gb / 130mbps

[hardy horizon]

Yeah, I wanted portable

[gray sierra]

hows your macbookj

[cosmic idol]

Sounds like a canon event to me lmao

[hardy horizon]

I know I have one too she's just HEAVY... Like buy a normal 16 instead heavy.

[topaz shale]

i have a different style of internet i forget the name of. but my current plan is 700/700 but often exceeds that

[cosmic idol]

😔

[topaz shale]

i think its called point to point? idk theres a modem on my roof that points at another nearby hub and has fiber speeds wirelessly

[cosmic idol]

Oh interesting
My house just has FTTC

My mums has FTTP

so I’ll be stuck with like a max of 100/40 until it gets upgraded

[topaz shale]

not bad for running through a double nat

[real quiver]

Guess what year the camera that took these pictures is from

[topaz shale]

it does look quite good

whoever the photographer was did a great job

[real quiver]

But what year do you think the camera is from

[topaz shale]

hard to say

can i say newer than 2010?

[hardy horizon]

I think the rest of this week I'm going to just take it and see if I take it out my bag as much as I did the HP. being able to do this #tech-chat-2 message is going to be hard for it to beat

[real quiver]

You can say that but it doesn't mean it's right

[cosmic idol]

I was gonna say ‘08 to ‘12 as a guess

[topaz shale]

zamn

[cosmic idol]

It has that old feel

[real quiver]

2006

[cosmic idol]

Damn not bad guess then

[real quiver]

I always forget that higher end old cameras still have acceptable picture quality

And sensor size matters a whole lot

It's only 6mp

The only thing that sucks is it only supports 32gb sd cards

[hardy horizon]

Ventilated seats are such an underrated feature!

Hi

Damn I really like the blue ... To pay $1300 for it when the black was $630?? No lol even with the extra 16 gigs of RAM.

[real quiver]

Wowdie

This was peak interior design tbh

You could use the climate controls and radio without the screen but the screen was also there

And had navigation
