[buoyant bridge]

the pcie bus is probably the limit theres 4x USB controllers in this dock

[tulip sparrow]

and my monitor is a 1440p@165hz only thing really holding it back is that 8GB of VRAM

[buoyant bridge]

its a 8th gen i5 it can only take 32GB

[buoyant bridge]

this laptop has a 4K@90hz and my desktop has a 5K@75hz

[tulip sparrow]

Not you was talking to @wise quarry with those LOL

[buoyant bridge]

OHH

[random gyro]

i wanna build a pc badly

[buoyant bridge]

8GB of vram is only a limit if ur a loser

I was running a 5K monitor on a 2GB card at one point

[tulip sparrow]

Some games will literally NOT run if you only have 8GB of VRAM

[random gyro]

i only have 4 GIGABYTES of vram ;-;

i mean yeah all i play is old games so fair trade off

[buoyant bridge]

you're just playing the wrong games

[random gyro]

what kinda games refuse?

[tulip sparrow]

Ontop of that try throwing UEVR or similar VR mods ontop of your games and then come crawling back here

[buoyant bridge]

I barely game 😭

I was daily driving a RX 6700 XT till recently and before that an RX 580

[tulip sparrow]

What game was it that Jay was testing that wouldn't run on 8GB of VRAM during his GPU testing

[bright anvil]

Hey have any of you guys gone from intel to amd how do I get my pc to boot?

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4GCxObZrZE

@random gyro

a good video on the subject

[tulip sparrow]

REinstall windows at that point honestly LOL

[buoyant bridge]

Isn't AMDs base model 12GB now?

[random gyro]

me whos sitting on 4gb and probably will for 10 years:

[bright anvil]

What about all my data?

[buoyant bridge]

you'll need to manually install the AMD power management drivers in a recovery environment

if ur on Ryzen 7000 or newer chances that won't fix it either

[bright anvil]

It's a 7 7700x

[tulip sparrow]

You can boot into a Linux Live USB and move it easily

[buoyant bridge]

yeah just do this😭

[bright anvil]

I dont have a drive

[buoyant bridge]

Manually installing power management drivers is literally one of the most painful things and you're gonna need a other PC

you're best off booting to Win RE and reinstalling

[bright anvil]

It asks me to reset bitlocker will that wipe all my data?

[buoyant bridge]

did you sign in with a Microsoft account?

[bright anvil]

Yes

[buoyant bridge]

Get ur bitlocker key from ur MS acc

[bright anvil]

Where?

[buoyant bridge]

And enter it so you don't lose ur data

It tells you how to where it asks for it😭

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5587774/how-to-get-bitlocker-recovery-key

[buoyant bridge]

Are you bsoding on boot or getting the bitlocker recovery screen?

[bright anvil]

It boots to the bios but black screans

[buoyant bridge]

if ur bsoding on boot you need the power management drivers because your board doesn't have a fall back mode

[buoyant bridge]

Windows black screens?

[bright anvil]

Ill show you one sec ill send photos

[buoyant bridge]

if you dont get a bsod related to a missing driver then you don't have to reset but you likely need to configure a bunch of shit manually and resetting is still easier

[bright anvil]

Also when it is in bios it is like 6sec per frame

[buoyant bridge]

thats normal on most mobos

[bright anvil]

I have a spare ssd should I take out my important one and use that than chuck the other 2 in? I dont have windows on it tho

[buoyant bridge]

I mean if you'd actually show me whats going on when windows boots I could probably just tell you how to fix it 😭

[bright anvil]

It's leading

Loading

[buoyant bridge]

is it on the spinning dot/circle screen?

[bright anvil]

Not yet it is almost there i just got mouse and keyboard lights so it has like 1 more min till I get the screan

[empty quartz]

Just repasted my mac mini

[eternal cloak]

Warranty voided tm

[empty quartz]

This thing’s warranty is long gone

[buoyant bridge]

the last of the intel mac minis are closer to a decade old than they are to when they where released

[eternal cloak]

Should've figured considering it's you

[empty quartz]

Its 13 years old

[random gyro]

older than the average minecraft player?

[buoyant bridge]

I am in my 30s and play minecraft

[eternal cloak]

I don't even know how to tell it's an Intel Mac Mini ngl

[random gyro]

fair enough

[buoyant bridge]

upgradable ram

all but the 2014s had upgradable ram

[random gyro]

but hop onto ANY server in minecraft bedrock edition and youll see 7 year olds :>

ez to pwn haha

[buoyant bridge]

theres your problem

[grizzled frost]

thats why you don't play bedrock

[buoyant bridge]

^

[random gyro]

fair enough

[eternal cloak]

Yeah I was gonna say, idk why you bother with bedrock to begin with

Bedrock is a massive cashgrab and not worth the attention

[random gyro]

me who goes outside:

[bright anvil]

Will a windows reinstall wipe all my game downlodes?

[buoyant bridge]

yes

[eternal cloak]

Yes

[bright anvil]

😭

[buoyant bridge]

Windows reinstall = deletes everything on the drive you reinstalled it on

[bright anvil]

And there's no way around it?

[eternal cloak]

Sometimes it be necessary

[random gyro]

its ok, you can reinstall all of it

[buoyant bridge]

you can do all the stuff you need to do to fix a windows install after platform swapping but its a pain in the ass, you can TRY a WinRE repair its fixed it for me before

[bright anvil]

Welp looks like it got to re-download 2tb of data on 30mgb wifi

[buoyant bridge]

but that was switching from Ryzen to Threadripper PRO not Intel to AMD

[random gyro]

and itll give ya a couple hours to think of life while waiting for all of it to install :)

[empty quartz]

Intel mac’s have upgradable ram

[eternal cloak]

Right, that was when Apple was cringe (according to Apple)

[random gyro]

i wanna play minecraft again hm..

[empty quartz]

Either way im happy with my non upgradable macbook

[buoyant bridge]

the fact my thinkpad is non upgradable kinda annoys me tbh

[empty quartz]

M1 max, 32gb ram, 2tb ssd

[buoyant bridge]

but its worth it for how light and thin it is

[eternal cloak]

The thinner you go, the unlikelier it is to get upgradable ram

[buoyant bridge]

Core Ultra 7 268V, 32GB DDR5 its finee

theres no realistic reason to need to upgrade the soldered components, the SSD is still socketed

[buoyant bridge]

they make a slightly thicker but otherwise identical model its got socketed RAM n shit afaik

but that's aluminum, the ligher one is magnesium

[eternal cloak]

Ye, since magnesium is give or take 60% less dense than aluminum

[buoyant bridge]

it's more so about how brittle the material gets, the T14s G1 comes in both and has a option for steel but the steel ones have issues with cracking due to being too thin and the aluminum ones r known for bending.

[bright anvil]

It hit the screan

[grizzled frost]

do you have bitlocker

[buoyant bridge]

oh reset ur tpm then you need to restore bitlocker

if you dont have a microsoft account signed in you're fucked and WILL have to reset windows even if you swap ur old board back in

[bright anvil]

Idk if i have bitlocker where can I check?

[buoyant bridge]

did you turn it off?

[bright anvil]

No

[grizzled frost]

you probably don't then

[buoyant bridge]

then you have it

[tulip sparrow]

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/controllers/the-spongebob-movie-le-xbox-controllers

[grizzled frost]

bitlocker is opt in, not opt out

[buoyant bridge]

its on by default since 23h2

[empty quartz]

I wanna get myself an m1 max with 64gb of ram and 8tb ssd logic board

[bright anvil]

Let me see if I can find my code rq

[buoyant bridge]

nvm its since 24h2 but that includes updates if you've never turned it on/off

[buoyant bridge]

atp it doesn't really matter if you switch back to ur old board either way, the anti tamper is tripped so its gonna force recovery once you boot into windows

you need to press y to get past this though

[bright anvil]

There are no bitlocker keys uploadeded

[buoyant bridge]

then you dont have bitlocker on

[bright anvil]

K so press yes

[buoyant bridge]

so you press Y and it provisions the TPM again and it boots normally

[bright anvil]

Cross your fingers

Worst I can loose is all school data

Now I wait

Oop here it comes

It's spining a wheel at a Asus screan

[buoyant bridge]

thats just the windows boot screen

[bright anvil]

The wheel is jammed

@buoyant bridge

[buoyant bridge]

just wait

if it stays like that for more than 5 mins its probably related to a missing storage controller driver

[bright anvil]

K ill give it 5 min

[buoyant bridge]

its probably just provisioning new hardware into the windows install with compatibility drivers rn

[bright anvil]

Oop its doing stuff

It sounds like a jet now lol

Now its just a black screan again ill give it 5 to see if it does anything

[buoyant bridge]

does ctrl+alt+delete do anything?

and if ur keyboard has a caps lock light does pressing caps lock turn it on

[bright anvil]

Caps works

Nothing for task manager

[buoyant bridge]

okay so the OS isn't hanging then

[bright anvil]

Ill give it 10min while I eat then see what it does

[south arrow]

[bright anvil]

@buoyant bridge will it mess up if I restart it?

[buoyant bridge]

mabye

no clue what its doing tbh black screen is sooo vague

[bright anvil]

I know right 😭

[buoyant bridge]

if bitlockers not on that drive you could install on another drive

[bright anvil]

Im going to do it

[buoyant bridge]

and then boot to the new install and move ur files

[bright anvil]

Restart works now that's good

It didnt before

Oop my stream deck shows my setup i used on it @bright anvil

Im in!!!!!!!

@buoyant bridge

[buoyant bridge]

good ot hear

[bright anvil]

Now to sign into everything bc it hates that I switched cpsu lol

Now to install all amd drivers

[unique olive]

I bought I kit of Corsair Dominator 2x24gb 7000 cl36 directly from them for $354 on 11/16 that same kit on their website is $647 shit is so cooked

[lapis furnace]

Definitely my cleanest desktop ever

[buoyant bridge]

too many things on the desktop and pinned to the taskbar

unpin everything, disable task view, and turn off desktop icons

and turn on taskbar labels

[unique olive]

Then uninstall windows and remove the universe

[buoyant bridge]

this guy has fragile masculinity ^

[unique olive]

The and only then will it be clean enough

[buoyant bridge]

hot take linux ricers just have control issues

[unique olive]

Linux what’s? Or is that just a missspell

[buoyant bridge]

people who customize the fuck out of linux for the purpose of customizing it are called a linux ricer

[unique olive]

lol

[lapis furnace]

If I were him i would have strangled u ngl

[buoyant bridge]

if it upsets u when someone says that its about you 😭😭

[unique olive]

“Jokes on you I’m into that shit” or however that sound bite goes

[buoyant bridge]

fox

[unique olive]

Monkey better

[buoyant bridge]

is that so

[unique olive]

Yes monkeys would beat the shit out of fox if you put em in a match

[lapis furnace]

Done ✅

[buoyant bridge]

this is better and what windows 11 should look like imo (centered taskbar is for ultrawides)

[lapis furnace]

Alright if u say so

||cries in single monitor||

[buoyant bridge]

ultrawide monitors are an abomination

[buoyant bridge]

get a single 5K 16:9 monitor its really more than enough

[lapis furnace]

My GTX 1650 disagrees

[buoyant bridge]

my setup is litterally setup so if im standing the 5K monitor is in the perfect position (I have a 46" tall desk fyi)

[unique olive]

I raise you gaming on ultra wide monitors 🤮

[stark kiln]

For 25$ what good steam games can I get

[buoyant bridge]

Microsoft needs to release this as a standalone monitor like apple did for the iMac 5K > Studio Display

[stark kiln]

There's rdr2/cyberpunk on sale so idk which one to get

[buoyant bridge]

Wait for a sale and you can get pretty much any game

[lapis furnace]

Talking Tom Simulator 3

/j

[buoyant bridge]

this is a bit better than the studio display for productivity and I would LOVE THIS as a fucking standalone monitor

the pixelsense in the surface studio is genuinely one of the best desktop displays ever made

[lapis furnace]

[stark kiln]

I am thinking of both rdr2 and GTA 4

also if you wait for the winter sale, I'm sure you'll find a ton of good games for under 25

I once got Assetto Corsa with all the DLC for like $10

[south arrow]

I did just crank on the heater xD

Probably gonna be a pretty cold one no doubts not even December yet

[left dove]

its like 2 weeks to december it's kinda wild

[south arrow]

Usually have to wait till halfway through december

[left dove]

we'll know our true fate depending on how the ass-end of december is

[distant frigate]

lol it’s 38F here

[left dove]

wasn't our last big freeze like in january

[distant frigate]

Forecast low tonight is 31F

We might turn the heat up to 68F from 65F in December

[south arrow]

Sounds right

[sinful cobalt]

Apparently for the rest of November/December here in SG, is all gonna be pretty wet due to frequent rain

[distant frigate]

Nice. 38F as a high temperature. 29F as a low

11 days out though

[left dove]

IT WENT UP A DEGREE WOO

[distant frigate]

Fog and 31F? Lmao.

[south arrow]

Them coastal winds

[distant frigate]

Could be freezing fog

Freezing temperature is 32F

Pretty borderline though

[distant frigate]

Very borderline

[left dove]

sky cover is nothing tonight so it's gonna be fuckin cold

I wonder what a dry cold is like

[scarlet tartan]

[left dove]

don't you live on the coast?

[south arrow]

Just salem at this time

Maybe one day I do miss it

[left dove]

I should actually stop in salem one of these days

I've never explored it, always just passed through

[south arrow]

Can't say theres been much around here lately a few good parks but hit or miss the state of it on particular days. Silverton falls are cool though or if you get bored the gardens has a nice stroll area and good food but Silvertons alittle ways over

[distant frigate]

It can get very cold here when there’s snowcover and clear sky and calm winds

Temperatures can probably drop to like 0F

[tiny idol]

question has any one tried to use a handheld pc for a dual pc setup for streaming

[vocal drum]

Probably

[tiny idol]

like the handheld runs obs and everything you need and you capture your main pc with a capture card

[left dove]

that.. why

just use nvenc, or quicksync, or amf..

you don't need a dual-pc streaming setup anymore, it's not 2010

[scarlet tartan]

TL;DR: Better use your GPU on your primary PC. Leave the kid (handheld) alone.

It's easier, more convenient and will have negligible performance impacts.

[warm bison]

Its a second machine,no worries

[south arrow]

Ace saw that score and said hold my drinkk I wanna try

Solid lil gpu

[warm bison]

But yeah

Basically what happened was now I got latest steam on Windows 8. The November 17 2025 build. So now downloads work again

[south arrow]

Thats pretty hyped hopefully continues to last ya

[warm bison]

As a result,maybe I will ditch server 2022, and move back to Windows 8 on my main machine. But first, I will get my new cpu

[south arrow]

That cpu definetly struggles but doing its best

[warm bison]

Yes,the 2500K even is sometimes more snappy than my xeons,because of latency

[sullen spindle]

I'm going for a mini rx9070xt build with a Ryzen 7 7800 x 3d which mother board would be good

[shut sentinel]

my brother wants to buy a Ryzen 5 5500 for his rtx 5060. is the CPU modern enough for the GPU?

[hushed pine]

anyone following formnext?

[hexed tapir]

It's ok I would try to get a 5600 since it supports pcie gen 4 and is overall faster

[south arrow]

Auroras elite, the orange on the other one is kinda neat

[cold skiff]

That’s micro not mini

[sullen spindle]

Yes it ain't a mini build sorry for bad phrasing

I'll show you the case

[cold skiff]

It’s a box with windows, right?

Well probably one, maybe 2

[sullen spindle]

I'm trying to go for an Oreo build with leather

While also being not massively sized

[cold skiff]

An Oreo build? Like you want a cookie?

[sullen spindle]

But it's my first pc build that isn't a pre build

[sullen spindle]

As in black and white

The outside is black the componets are white

Would this mother board work it's well priced and I can get it easily

[cold skiff]

Well the outsides also brown

[sullen spindle]

Yes

[south arrow]

Deths just teasin ya xD

[cold skiff]

It’s not the best

[south arrow]

Id prefer the the first 2 options over this one due to heatsinks (usually doesn't matter but still) i mean its got alittle one but meh

[sullen spindle]

Thing is I'm ordering from 2 websites already

The first 2 I showed was microless

[cold skiff]

Aorus white you want

Apart from style it’s a solid board

[sullen spindle]

And the aorus is approx 250 usd

Which is too much for a mother board isn't it

[hushed pine]

Newest bambu fdm system supports up to 24 filaments @_o.

[south arrow]

Prices right now are insanity for some components i dont even know anymore. It is a bit spendy but worth it for ease of things

8+2+2 and poor heatsinks

hello everyone, any VR users here who are interested in Linux as well? I am working on a research project/hobby that involves making open source/libre drivers for the HTC vive pro 2 to work with steamVR flatpak on Linux

[south arrow]

I usually spend 200ish on a decent mobo

[dry helm]

you got a good price on that mobo

[south arrow]

Sold it to somone in a 4080s build

[dry helm]

its like 300-400 usd now

[cold skiff]

Remember when 59 bucks got you a decent board

[sullen spindle]

Oh a question should I buy a 7800 x 3d or something else

[grizzled frost]

https://tenor.com/view/sure-grandpa-let's-get-you-to-bed-gif-3440862259299766707

[dry helm]

now top end ones are 599 bucks, even more probably

[grizzled frost]

top end ones are 1k+

[hushed pine]

they also have a new hotend, which has an 8 second switch time while using their low purge system

[summer token]

Do high end boards really improve performance though

[south arrow]

Simpler times deths

[cold skiff]

I think my mortar for my 1700x was like £60 in 2017

[dry helm]

msi x870e godlike 👀

[grizzled frost]

they don’t affect performance at all

[dry helm]

not really

[grizzled frost]

at least on am5

[real quiver]

The sale on the p1s combo is pretty tempting ngl

[shut sentinel]

thanks

[dry helm]

unless you need more PCIE stuff

[summer token]

Essentially your just paying for more ports and stuff right

[grizzled frost]

intel maybe a bit with ram speeds, but that’s minimal

[south arrow]

Not really unless doing oc or 24/7 use and even 24/7 use is specific use case

[grizzled frost]

yep

[grizzled frost]

medium end board will get you the max amount of pcie stuff you can get

[dry helm]

rgb tax+ markup mostly, the ports are negilgible

[grizzled frost]

after that it’s basically just “ooh pretty” and “ooh fast usb”

[south arrow]

I like to call them enthusiasts boards

[cold skiff]

Just don’t get an asus prime. Vrm delivery and cooling is ass af

[dry helm]

or a cheaper board with a expansion card is cheaper than a expensive mb

[cold skiff]

Pretty much the worst rated am5 boards

[grizzled frost]

mhm

[dry helm]

I used to use this to get thunderbolt on a older PC

[grizzled frost]

vrms are overrated, me and my 80w cpu are fine with shit vrms and cooling

[real quiver]

I have an msi am5 board

[grizzled frost]

(said 80w chip is the second best gaming cpu on the planet)

[cold skiff]

Adding expansion cards with gpus the size of your thigh now

[real quiver]

It's definitely a motherboard

[south arrow]

Probs the most i ever spent but she was pretty and feature full

[hushed pine]

I am done with crazy tech shit. The stares I got when I recycled my pc in a cooler master cosmos was extremely embarassing

[south arrow]

Also sold on a 4080s build miss my 14700k

[cold skiff]

Too shit a vrm and you get crap performance and a throttled cpu

[dry helm]

they become more important when you have a more power-hungry CPU, I think mine has like 20-22 vrms because I have a higher SKU cpu, but for midrange it becomes less important

[grizzled frost]

7800x3d is midrange?

[cold skiff]

20-22 on the cpu?

[dry helm]

its good for gaming, pretty high end

[grizzled frost]

basically the second best in the world, with the 9800x3d and 9950x3d being tied for first

9950x3d is basically just the 9800x3d under the hood anyways, at least for gaming

[cold skiff]

Just insanity. All am5 needs to be optimal is 8+1+1 or 7+7

[dry helm]

I think so yeah, I have to check for the asrock taichi x870e though

[cold skiff]

6 initial phases are actually fine tbh, they just come with boards that have poor cooling

[dry helm]

I might be wrong from memory

[cold skiff]

24+2+1.. so unnecessary on am5

[real quiver]

I'm sure my vrms are basically in an inferno

[grizzled frost]

it’s so you can run a 32 core chip- oh wait those don’t exist on am5

it’s just advertising gobbledygook

[cold skiff]

32 core 500w ppt

[grizzled frost]

a man can dream

[dry helm]

mostly marketing and "bigger number better", but good for overclockers and people who run CPU at 100% for extended periods of time

[cold skiff]

It makes zero difference

[grizzled frost]

there’s little to no benefit to overclocking on zen4/5

[real quiver]

I run into cpu cooling issues well before anything else tbh

[grizzled frost]

you double the power draw for like single digit improvements

[cold skiff]

You’re on a 50-80w cpu

[grizzled frost]

also more phases isnt more better for sustained loads

[cold skiff]

You don’t need 24 phases for that

[dry helm]

from what I know the IPC has been optimized unless for the multiplexer/demultiplexer for PCIE, but it uses a ton of power for digital to analog conversion and vice versa hence why AMD is going to do co packaged optics long term

[cold skiff]

That’s why I say 8 optimal, 6 works fine if those boards actually had proper heatsinks

[dry helm]

the core itself is pretty squeezed

ie. the fruit had all the juice squeezed out

[grizzled frost]

mhm

[cold skiff]

If you use a ton of power you don’t need more phases. Just strong components

[grizzled frost]

still don’t understand why am5 boards exist with more than a single eps connector

[cold skiff]

Like the speed of power delivery on 24 phases if it could use all 24 on am5 would be diabolical

[south arrow]

Cpu mining on avx512 maybes

[grizzled frost]

in what universe are you consuming more than 300w on am5

[real quiver]

I run into thermal issues almost immediately at high load anyways

[cold skiff]

No such thing as future proofing

[south arrow]

But idk forsures

[dry helm]

more about future proofing and forward design than actual use case

[grizzled frost]

“future proofing” = i overspent and now i have to justify my purchase

[cold skiff]

You expecting zen 7 to give you a 500w monster? Won’t happen

[real quiver]

How do people even keep the higher end am5 cpus cool under a sustained high load

[grizzled frost]

woah there buddy, we don’t even have zen6

[grizzled frost]

240mm aio or bigger

or just a solid dual tower cooler

the temps level off after a certain point

[cold skiff]

Air cooler on 7800x3d. Never hit tjmax

[south arrow]

Pbo limiting or wattage 170w or a lesser setting if needed for uses over a day

[grizzled frost]

am5 cpus just love sitting in the 70c to low 80c territory

[cold skiff]

X3D heat trap generates like 10c more than the cpu actually created on 7xxx

[grizzled frost]

it’s their comfort zone

[cold skiff]

They’re not that hot - the heat trap is the problem from the cache

[grizzled frost]

even more so on zen4 x3d chips

[south arrow]

Turning performance core boost or turbo setting in bios to off also can save 10c or so

[grizzled frost]

alleviated some on the zen5 x3d chips

[real quiver]

I have a 360mm but I think my issue is the actual heat transfer between the cpu and block

[grizzled frost]

what temps are you at

[cold skiff]

High cpu games for me are like 80-85c. If the cache wasn’t boiling the blank silicon layer above^ my cpu would be nearer 70-75

[grizzled frost]

as long as you aren’t hitting tjmax, there’s no issues

[cold skiff]

Exactly

[real quiver]

Mid to high 80s if I remember right

[cold skiff]

And this is in the summer at 34c in the uk

[grizzled frost]

they’re specifically designed to run as close to tjmax as possible

[cold skiff]

Winter… barely ever hit 80

[real quiver]

I have a 7900x

[cold skiff]

10c idle difference by season which is wild

[south arrow]

What motherboard?

[real quiver]

I have an msi b650-p if I remember right

[cold skiff]

My 4770k idled at 55c in the winter with a huge ass air cooler. My 7800x3d cooler is smaller, it idles 34c in winter. Shows you how much cooler and efficient chips are

[real quiver]

While gaming my cpu doesn't get very hot at all because of how bad my bottleneck is

[cold skiff]

That thing was a fkn space heater. The joke goes AMD warm up your room - so untrue for anyone with the earlier gen Intels. Hotter than the sun and Scarlett Johannson combined

[south arrow]

If you wanna turn it off and test performance ya can ❤️ no biggie though you seem to be fine temps either way. Should be similar bios
https://youtu.be/xdtpEEWVXmk?si=ZEoYz3k3rh2uK104

[real quiver]

My current desktop will actually increase the temp in my room if you play for a little while

If I had the gpu I was supposed to it'd probably increase the temp a lot more

[south arrow]

If used alittle bit maybe

[cold skiff]

I got a 7800xt/7800x3d. I can tell you now my front room doesn’t get that hot from it. My heat pump tumble dryer? Turns it into an oven

And that thing is meant to be lower heat

[real quiver]

I have a 7900x/3060ti but it was supposed to have a 4080 or better

[cold skiff]

The pc is kept cooler by a nice blast of wind also at the front of the house. We thought the dryer might be offset by it but nope, we were wrong 😂

[real quiver]

I just didn't anticipate gpu prices doing this

[cold skiff]

Watching it unfold during Covid and not having a pc was a spectacle for me

[south arrow]

Prices are just mehh

[real quiver]

I got my 3060ti at a best buy drop

[cold skiff]

Could have got £50 more for my 1060 if I waited 2 years to sell

[real quiver]

Got there a couple hours before the store opened

[cold skiff]

Nice

I sort of wish I did buy again sooner and the 3060ti 12gb era tbh

[stark kiln]

Should I get cyberpunk or rdr2

[cold skiff]

But happy I waited a little as I still don’t game as much as I’d like

[real quiver]

Wait there's a 12gb 3060ti?

[cold skiff]

Sorry just standard 3060 12gb

[real quiver]

I run into the lack of vram so often

[cold skiff]

Tbh years ago I’d have been able to do my work on my own pc. Now my work lock it out and we need to install their protections apps etc. so my pc is literally just gaming now

Otherwise I’d use my pc way more as I fkn hate laptops

[real quiver]

I use my pc for any actual workload

Laptop just opens word and tunerstudio

[cold skiff]

I do want to create for my job some videos as it’s way easier than creating guides and manuals to explain

But it’s just hassle across a laptop VM and a desktop for me.

So I asked for low filter access but got denied

[real quiver]

I wish windows wasn't so uncooperative

[cold skiff]

All I wanted was access to upload to a protected file space. Denied.

Windows beats anything else most people can use

[real quiver]

I just can't get it to play nice as a vm

It keeps trying to steal either the mac address from the host or the network adapter

[cold skiff]

We had a cyber attack at work in 2022, I used to have admin access. They thought my laptop would be the one it came through as I was playing osrs and downloading torrents. Turns out - someone that never took a laptop from the office was the point of failure

Clean as a whistle over here

[real quiver]

But I don't know because it bring all of the host's networking offline and it's a headless machine

[buoyant bridge]

I just have a KVM switch and a dock

work PC is always a laptop cus I need mobility

[peak nebula]

Any techie to support my decition

[buoyant bridge]

if ur gaming none of these

get actual brand name kvms if ur gaming because they DO introduce noticable amounts of input lag on most of these no name ones

[left dove]

Oh my fucking godddd

[buoyant bridge]

hai peyton!!!

[left dove]

a bowl of potatoes and gravy after a freezing af bike ride is like the best thing ever

[cold skiff]

Hearty food is great

[buoyant bridge]

peyton are you a real linux elitist

[left dove]

what, no

[cold skiff]

That sounds like some wartime Brit shit

[buoyant bridge]

:(

[cold skiff]

I approve

[left dove]

chicken strips, mashed potatoes with sour cream and garlic, and a black peppery brown gravy poured on top

[cold skiff]

Oh. That’s too fancy now.

[left dove]

naww it's mega basic

[cold skiff]

I was thinking literally just potato and gravy. Proper hardcore basic bitch stuff

[left dove]

takes like 15 minutes to make

throw the chicken strips in the air fryer, boil 2 cups of water for the potatoes, and a cup of water for the gravy

[cold skiff]

Tbh last night I literally bought £1 20 nuggets for dinner. Some fries.

Basic is good sometimes

[left dove]

basic for me is sourdough with swiss or pepperjack and lunchmeat, open faced

sourdough, pepperjack, turkey, pickle

[cold skiff]

Your idea of basic is not so basic

Like we have a meat pie in the UK. It’s literally pastry with meat. Not even gravy.

[left dove]

thats sad :(

something like that needs a gravy

[cold skiff]

It’s one of the best pies ya can get tbh

We add a parsley sauce after

[left dove]

I should try doing my tuna casserole as a pie tbh

like replace the pasta with pastry bowls

[cold skiff]

Traditional pie and mash

[left dove]

that gravy looks like a guy with a low count & a fungal infection

[cold skiff]

No gravy. Basic af. It’s a revered national dish

I hate sauce. Mayo etc. literally I only like that sauce we call liquor, gravy and curry sauce

Well tbh I can do cranberry and mint in small amounts also

[stable beacon]

crashed playing cs2 earlier and now minecraft

might be voltages idk

starting to happen pretty consistently like 3rd or 4th day in a row

[stark kiln]

School lunch looks better lowk

[cold skiff]

The worst looking stuff tastes the best tbh

Bubble and squeak lowkey great meal also

[stark kiln]

Meat jelly

aka holodets

[cold skiff]

Christ man

That looks like my cats food

[stark kiln]

Tastes good tho

[cold skiff]

Nah I can’t eat anything that looks like my animals main diet

[stark kiln]

If they can you can

[clear canyon]

oh ew, wtf is that

who ever cooked that needs to be banned from any and all kitchens

[south arrow]

That'd be a meat pie lad, acquired taste

[clear canyon]

its future diarrhea waiting to happen

Maybee

[mint umbra]

Been thinking about going from 4k monitor to ultra wide thoughts?

For mostly gaming

Is there issues with ultra wides gaming

[sinful cobalt]

UHD to UWQHD is a downgrade imho

[mint umbra]

Well I don't want to be fighting running games at 4k

As games aren't that well optimized these days

And I play mostly single player games

So it might be better experience with ultra wide

Could a 49 inch split screen replace two 27

[agile narwhal]

Anyone know how to work with nzxt fans and AIO? Need help on a build im currently building

[sinful cobalt]

Then… upgrade your GPU instead of downgrading? Or use an upscaler with FG

[sinful cobalt]

Please elaborate

[mint umbra]

GPUs too expensive

[sinful cobalt]

Then use upscaling

[mint umbra]

And would be easier to run 1440p

[agile narwhal]

All the nzxt fans on the radiator only have 4 pin female connections

[mint umbra]

Especially the ue5 games

[mint umbra]

Well I find fsr doesn't look that great with the more aggressive settings of upscaling

[sinful cobalt]

FSR 3? Yeah you’re cooked

Or just set the monitor to 1440p lmao

[mint umbra]

Just feel like having a ultra wide would be convenient

[sinful cobalt]

For what?

[mint umbra]

Since I could use it like a double monitor set up if I just split the screen

[sinful cobalt]

You’d have to go through the hassle of dismantling, assembling a new monitor, sell the old where you lose money, just to downgrade overall

[mint umbra]

I mean I don't think I'll be getting another 4k monitor anyway

[sinful cobalt]

Is that tradeoff worth it? Im just giving you my opinion and such factors.

[agile narwhal]

Do you know what we gotta do?

[mint umbra]

I don't think 4k is worth it

[sinful cobalt]

Show what the connectors look like

[mint umbra]

Unless it's for a tv

[agile narwhal]

We only have 6 fan headers and we need 9. Can’t daisy chain because they’re all female connections.

[topaz shale]

this is so awesome

[agile narwhal]

We have a RGB controller and a control hub but we’re trying to figure out how it works

[topaz shale]

apple indeed makes good products

[sinful cobalt]

Buy a fan hub

[agile narwhal]

I have a control hub

[sinful cobalt]

What

[sinful cobalt]

If it doesnt have enough ports just get another hub lmao

[agile narwhal]

How do we use both at the same time?

[sinful cobalt]

you just plug both in no?

Its a matter if you have enough cables from ur PSU which you should

[gray goblet]

Like i was working on a stupid dream of calculating factorial of huge nos.

So is file me 1.1b digits hai and i tried to open and this happend, word stops working at 500mb

This is a 1gb file.

Any ideas how i could open this file

[agile narwhal]

Plug both into where?

[formal sonnet]

Use Notepad++ or some other editor... as the error message says?

[sinful cobalt]

That hub is default from the PC case right?

[gray goblet]

notepad++ is that a software for this kinda shi

[formal sonnet]

If you search it up... it's just another text editor, albeit one that's more feature rich than Windows Notepad.

[gray goblet]

ok ty will try to find

[mint umbra]

I've been seeing videos of ppl using ultra wide like a dual set up monitor and has me wanting ultra wide

[topaz shale]

it is dope

idk if i would like ultrawide gaming tho

but ultrawide for productivity is peak

[mint umbra]

I mean for games that support ultra wide don't see issue

And could just split the screen to smaller screen if you want normal aspect ratio

[topaz shale]

i just like having applications open around my game

like discord, spotify, browser, etc

[mint umbra]

Could have one side gaming and other side discord or something

[topaz shale]

but doing homework here at my productivity setup is pretty solid

i may have too many computers

[hardy horizon]

which tablet? is that gen 1 apple pencil?

[hardy horizon]

basically a diffrent flaavor or my setup. Windows for gaming, mac for OTG, and a tablet for writing

[graceful girder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj1m1TbZJnY

[swift moss]

they call me the GOAT

[topaz shale]

ipad air 5th gen, its not the new pro apple pencil but its wireless charging

i think they killed the pen i have recently

i have the 2nd gen

just looked it up

[agile narwhal]

No. one came with the AIO and I bought another one just in case

[solar moat]

WTF amd why dose you zen2 cpu be in 3000/4000/5000/7000 cpus

[hardy horizon]

so about 6 hrs batter on MBP, not bad, obv wish it was longer.

[hardy horizon]

"brand consistancy"

[solar moat]

no

Generation
1 First generation Zen (2017)
2 First generation Zen for Mobile and Desktop APUs (2017); First generation Zen with enhanced node (Zen+)(2018)
3 First generation Zen with enhanced node (Zen+) for Mobile and Desktop APUs (2019); Second generation Zen (Zen 2)(2019)
4 Second generation Zen (Zen 2) for Mobile and Desktop APUs (2020)
5 Third generation Zen (Zen 3)(2020)

or is this ment to sound like consistancy

[hardy horizon]

the renaming every year shows its the current year product

even if it uses old cores

AKA lets mislead consumers. GN had a whole rant on this for 5000 series i believe

[mint umbra]

Thinking of selling my qdoled for an woled monitor

As I don't like the purple tint I get when I have lights in my room on

[topaz shale]

lowkey a dumb reason to sell ur monitor

[mint umbra]

(not my setup just example of the purple tint)

[topaz shale]

hmm no i dont like the shade of purple when im not using it

you may be the perfect customer for samsung "The Frame"

[mint umbra]

Idk what that is

[peak swan]

quick queston, are 3rd party clients banned in this server?

[edgy holly]

3rd party clients are banned by discord itself so yeah pretty much every server who gaf about the tos bans them

[peak swan]

welp uh shit

[edgy holly]

in practice no one really gaf just dont share a picture of you blatantly having a 3rd party client

[peak swan]

i use the official app most of the time (and website on mydesktop), but my laptop canbarely run the wesite and it isn't a pleasent experience, so i installed a client that works with windows xp (my laptop runs xp)

[peak swan]

i remember getting banned frommicrosoft's server because back tgen i used a 3rd party launcher an happened to take a screenshot with rainbow nicknames turned on

[edgy holly]

lmaoo

rip

[edgy holly]

i only use the website ngl except for calls where i open the app cause i can make the voices louder with the app

[peak swan]

the website has like a delay between me typing andtxt actuall appearingon my laptop

why do i keep forgetting to press space

[ebon marlin]

Why is Kiryu bald

[formal sonnet]

3rd party Discord clients are against the ToS. Period. It's recommended you only use the official client.

[ebon marlin]

And why is the Thinkpad in some bdsm contraption

[peak swan]

welp, i guess discord has to ban me for using windows xp

[formal sonnet]

Discord won't ban you for using XP. They will ban you for using an unofficial client. That said, Win XP has been out of support for many years now. It's unsafe to connect to the internet. 🤷 But you do you.

[peak swan]

official client doesn't work on xp and the website is very bloated

[formal sonnet]

That does not give you (or anyone) the right to violate the ToS that you agreed to when creating your account.

[peak swan]

welp my best option isupdate to windows 7
because windows 10 is ass on hdd

[peak swan]

discord planned obsolessense

[formal sonnet]

Your best option is to run a currently supported Operating System. For Windows, that would be 11, otherwise you can run Linux, or MacOS if you have a Mac product.

[peak swan]

32 bit tho

and i can't afford a new laptop

i literally have no money rn

[mint umbra]

Not my build it was just a example of what monitor looks like when lights are on

[calm idol]

seriously consider switching to linux at that point. basically everything works on it nowadays that you are used to from windows. and games that dont work, probably dont work on windows either if its that old

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/linux-better-tux-gif-2737542231410049693

[mint umbra]

I like windows more

Couldn't play many games on Linux

As most of my time on PC is gaming

[peak swan]

Well i have Linux installed too but the distro i used i still need change some stuff

[mint umbra]

So wouldn't make much sense to do Linux if I do mostly gaming

[stray portal]

i keep accidentally typing double or triple "i" on my keyboard i never had tyhis problem beforee is it something with my keyuboard

[tired bear]

Your i key is cooked

[topaz shale]

my gaming performance took a hit when i switched to linux 😔

i cant get 1440p 280fps in overwatch anymore

who would have thought running a translation layer for a game optimized for windows would result in worse performance...

[orchid trellis]

I have spyros adventure, giants and trap team

[grizzled frost]

i genuinely didn't even get a chance to click the spoiler

trap team was so cool

i had the poster for it on my wall as a kid

[orchid trellis]

I only have 2 traps. Im on my achievement hunter phase rn. I have rhe rest of the giants i need on order

[dim sinew]

It was just illegal shit

[orchid trellis]

Mainly cuz its only 6

[dim sinew]

🤑

[grizzled frost]

wasn't there some tool to turn NFC tags into skylanders?

[orchid trellis]

Yes but i dont know where to find them or how to do it

Only heard of it

[dim sinew]

Search on reddit

Don't say me u dumb enough to not even get things with fucking whole encyclopaedia present on it

😭🙏

[grizzled frost]

the nails i ordered came with a mustache sticker

[dim sinew]

It's as easy as building legos with manual

😔

[orchid trellis]

Yes im aware hex is missing an arm. I have it.

[grizzled frost]

i always loved the water ones

i remember playing skylanders swapforce on my ps3 when i was a youngin

[orchid trellis]

My favorite is cinder followed by dinobot

[grizzled frost]

i don't think my parents ever bought me more swapforce skylanders though, so i only had the included 2

[orchid trellis]

I am attempting to get the minimum i need to 100% achievements the first 2

I believe i have 1 of each element to do spyros adventure

[peak swan]

I found smth cool

[boreal vine]

it's joever for me

I fell victim to the board scene

[west arrow]

Guys should i get the fractal pop air or the phanteks eclipse G400A?

[lapis talon]

so I need to get a laptop and had my eyes on a cheap legion 5 for around $1200 USD (cheap for a legion in my country) but I also realized I need a bigger SSD for my main PC

if I get the SSD, ill have to cut back on the laptop budget and go for a Lenovo LOQ

what do I do

[wispy forum]

@rigid fjord I remember doing my bio's with you do I touch these files?

[latent pasture]

loq is good if its the old model with the power button in the middle of the top not the corner
but why not just delay buying either the storage or the laptop

[wispy forum]

I download this aswell right

[wispy forum]

does any1 else know the answer?

[clear canyon]

Thats why, ur from the beans on bread country 😭😭😭😭😭

[true adder]

why is internet over coax faster than fiber at my house

[clear canyon]

Its not, its ur internet plan

[true adder]

fiber goes up to 1 gbit

[clear canyon]

Yeah, its the plans, but fiber is always faster than coax

[true adder]

i have 1,25 gbps coax

its so weird

[cold skiff]

Baked beans on toast is a marvel. Add a little butter or cheese to those beans, salt, pepper. Meal of champions my friend.

Baked beans on bread however is disgusting af

[clear canyon]

My stomach hurts thinking about it lmao, it looks very gross but im just picking in ya lmao

Not meaning any harm

[magic kite]

i hope windows is just joking.

[lapis talon]

need the laptop for my Cambridge A levels and ssd because pc no space

[latent pasture]

ssd prices seem fairly ok for now
youll get better value buying the much etter laptop chassis to last long then just delay buying the ssd

[fresh escarp]

hey how could i get this sorted?

[fresh escarp]

https://www.msi.com/Laptop/Thin-GF63-12UX/support?sub_product=Thin-GF63-12UC#driver when updating intel drivers

[summer token]

What the fuck is a bitlocker recovery

[fresh escarp]

disk encryption possibly

[lapis talon]

alright

[summer token]

I didnt know a cpu upgrade needed all this man 😭

[hallow jasper]

are you trying to do this via a command prompt for some reason?

[lapis talon]

https://bytecity.com.bd/product/lenovo-legion-5-15irx9-gaming/
hows this

[fresh escarp]

got it sorted, there was folder which has the installation program, clicked that and its doing its thing

[fresh escarp]

s e c u r i t y

[summer token]

Thank god i found jt

I felt like my life was fucked

[lapis talon]

no warranty btw

[summer token]

Thank you jesus

My pc finally lives

All this over a cpu upgrade man gave me an anxiety attack

[hallow jasper]

in general? becuase no, fiber can go much, much faster

[west arrow]

Hi, im currently bulding a 9070XT 9700X build and i am on track to spend rougly 1700 euro (not including peripherals). Am I doing good (price wise)?

[latent pasture]

nge
is there any version with a "worse"(not really) cpu
like i5 or r7. theyre still like 8-12cores ur not losing much especially since its in power limited laptops anyway

[eternal cloak]

Ye, guy prolly confused it with copper and even that can go a smidge faster than that reliably

[eternal cloak]

Ah, I assume he's referring to the plans his ISP is offering him

[true adder]

i know

i work with fiber everyday, it just seems weird that coax plans are faster at my home address

[lapis talon]

uhhh not really

thats the cheapest on that website

https://www.startech.com.bd/lenovo-legion-5-15irx10-gaming-laptop
this is the cheapest official one

has warranty as well

but its $280ish USD more expensive

https://computermania.com.bd/product/lenovo-legion-5-ryzen-7-8745h-gaming-laptop/
this is cheaper than the first one I sent, but this shop has a bad reputation in terms of their "warranty"

[vestal dirge]

5600x or 14400f

[cosmic idol]

Hmm

I personally would go 14400f

[brave brook]

it's for .net, so MSFT probably changed whatever they talk about 3 times already since the publication

i mean they have Windows Forms, WinUI, WPF, MAUI just for desktops. And those are first party .NET frameworks.

[peak swan]

Hmm

[brave brook]

and then comes 3rd party options like Avalonia... 😄

[peak swan]

You can probably get a better deal on thr 5600x

[agile narwhal]

New build. What we think?

[brave brook]

the thick cable going to the AIO pump is not worth the display functionality

[swift stream]

remember
more rgb = more fps

[dreamy aspen]

5800x

[hallow jasper]

the best one you can afford (we have no other details to answer any more specifically)

$300 for the CPU alone? What parts do you already own? What platform?

Going about this in a strange way. Why not just create a post in #1106613567966429224, list your location, budget and currency.

[cosmic lance]

the intel socket 370 pin layout is so uncanny

[alpine heron]

Anyone familiar with electric bikes? Any recommendations for what to get these days for durable bang for buck?

[hallow jasper]

And what parts you do and don't need.

[cosmic lance]

ryzen 5 7600

[alpine heron]

Usage is as a gift to a family member that will never get a drivers license but needs to get around a small town just a bit

[hallow jasper]

otherwise people are just going to throw out random CPU's with could have wildy different total costs since you need a board and RAM to go along with it.

for what platform? You're making this harder than it needs to be

Some people are beyond help.

[brazen glen]

Depending on your targeted resolution and refresh rate you could go as low as a ryzen 5 3600 if you’re really pinching pennies

[hallow jasper]

You go out of you way to try to explain why there is more to this decision than just throwing out random CPU's with no details but no, they just want to argue.

Totally never done this before, no idea what i'm doing.

[brazen glen]

Damn did he get zapped

[hallow jasper]

Must have really went nuts

[brazen glen]

I kinda miss the days of the meta being “how far can I go down the imbalanced build hole without it being a huge detriment”

[hallow jasper]

It was a poorly formatted question and he didn't understand why. I tried to help.

[brazen glen]

It was fun when you’d see a 2500k driving a 9 or 10 series

I’m team “if you’re better than a ps5 by a hair you’re doing okay”

[cosmic idol]

I’ve seen an i7 3770 with an rtx 3060

I personally have done an i7 6700 with an rtx 2060 lmao

[left dove]

rad power bikes tbh

i love my radster trail

[dusk patio]

I've heard that legacy BIOS can cause issues with trying to use certain newer graphics cards?

[left dove]

what'd I miss

[timber ocean]

Can you just unplug the power from the gpu while running or does it fuck the gpu?

[left dove]

DO NOT EVER DO THAT

[cosmic idol]

[left dove]

ALWAYS turn off your pc before unplugging things

holy shit

[dusk patio]

Can you? I mean you have free will so sure. Is it a good idea? Hell no

[left dove]

you will kill your card

[cosmic idol]

Long story short
Don’t unplug anything from your pc while it’s running
With the exception of peripherals such as monitors, keyboards, mice, speakers

Anything internal is a big no no

[left dove]

you better be taking notes

[dusk patio]

unless those peripherals are PS/2 keyboards or mice

[cosmic idol]

Even the power plug/cable I wouldn’t touch lmao

[alpine heron]

Why'd you pick the trail? Looking at them and the rover 6 is the cheapest and biggest discount right now so tempted by it, but it doesn't have a rack, not sure how valuable a rack would be

[timber ocean]

I was aware that it wouldn't end well but some tech support kinda worded it like that. Unplugging sth didn't sound good so I asked

My pc is making a annoying noise and I am trying to find the responsible component

[left dove]

I got the trail on the last big sale they had- honestly it's fantastic on the road as well. you can coast at speed for what feels like forever on a good road

[cosmic idol]

I wouldn’t mind doing a conversion kit bike
Nothing wild, just something so I can be lazy on a bike instead of an e-scooter lmao

[left dove]

Also the radster trail can haul like 400lbs so it was a no-brainer for hauling camping gear or groceries

I still gotta get the trailer hitch mounted

[cosmic idol]

Speaking of which, I’m gonna buy all the paint to do the camo paint job on my trailer that I hook up to my e-scooter

[left dove]

but yeah, giant battery and 750w motor

[cosmic idol]

750w is plenty
Paired with a good size battery, plenty of range

[left dove]

my sheila 💕

[cosmic idol]

I love the matching helmet
It’s so cute

[timber ocean]

Does anyone know where that sound is coming from

[left dove]

its SO CLOSE to matching the bike color I was astounded at how close it was just by going off of my phone's screen

I might get some semi-hard pannier boxes and do like some form of halo warthog/mongoose theme build

[cold skiff]

If its idle he should be fine

[plain cypress]

Damn

My laptop is being forced to restart to apply updates

[cold skiff]

That’s irritating af

[cosmic idol]

I love attention to detail things like that
Like it’s so cool to me idk why

I saw this video today of someone building a camper for their ebike
It was so sick. So random but. So cool

[plain cypress]

It's only been on since Saturday

[cold skiff]

It’s how I get to go home in time on Wednesdays. I wait until forced update at 5pm boom

[left dove]

if I had dual 1kw motored wheels I'd consider that buuuut I can't really motorize the front wheel due to how the axle is

I could put a 1.5kw rear wheel on it though

[cosmic idol]

I can’t wait to do up my little trailer fr
Might get a light installed
A motor (maybe)
And potentially connections for ropes, side storage. Just to make it a lil more personalised

[left dove]

that whole fork bag is full of tools to work on the bike, including cargo straps

[cosmic idol]

1.5kw is pretty solid
Obviously double the power draw, but worth it if you need the extra grunt or want the extra speed

[cold skiff]

[left dove]

t'was one reason why I bought a second battery (I might get a third)

[cosmic idol]

I have a whole bike sitting there
I’m tempted to get an ebike conversion kit for it….. it would be so perfect cos it’s a pretty alright bike

[left dove]

a good battery will run you at minimum $400

[wheat torrent]

Okay so quick question

[left dove]

okay so quick answer

[wheat torrent]

I was testing something on a epyc 9654 and I noticed the more time it spent benchmarking the better the score was

does the CPU have something built in where it somehow performs better with time?

[cosmic idol]

Yeah I wouldn’t mind maybe getting a new e-scooter frame so swapping batteries is a bit easier. Just cos I don’t wanna bring a petrol generator
And the current battery is pretty compact and if I had another one it would be kinda mint ngl

[left dove]

n-.. no?

[wheat torrent]

interesting

quite a conundrum

[cosmic idol]

Weird turboing or power behaviour Mayhaps

[wheat torrent]

I saw this behaviour on multiple threadrippers also

but on my r9 7900 it doesn't happen

the more time I give it doing the task the better the final score is

[left dove]

part of my camping gear is gonna be a solar panel & a bank from ecoflow so I can charge the batteries out in the field- no genny needed

well, yeah

the more time it has the more calcs it can complete, giving it a higher score

if you really want a definitive answer, line graph the time & cps counts

[cosmic idol]

I want a chonky battery
But. The cost is nuts
Where as a generator runs for so much longer.

But then there’s the issue of noise, and having to get gas, and it being gas so idk. Plus the meme of Yk, using a gas genny to charge an ev

Solar panel would be sick tho.
I need to find some good spots around here

[wheat torrent]

its units per second

[brazen glen]

I can’t tell what that benchmarking software is but it could well be that there were other background tasks running on the early ones and they finished by the last run, otherwise there’s no reason unless the program is dumb and inhabits cache in between tests

[left dove]

line, not bar

[wheat torrent]

Minecraft World generation

no background tasks

[brazen glen]

Yeah that kind of feels like whatever you’re doing has been prefetched and required less shuffling of the cache

[eternal cloak]

PTM-7950 performs better the longer it is applied, which in theory would bring these results, but the difference is usually irrelevant

[carmine yew]

this graph is literally useless to read

[eternal cloak]

And it's a cooling solution, not something "built-in"

[brazen glen]

384 mb of l3 holy lol

Like am I off base in thinking that Minecraft would absolutely just take residence in the cache and go buck wild from there

[carmine yew]

these colums are not labeled in any way that you can tell what the difference is. Other than "BAR GET TALLER"
